There was a battalion of soldiers on the other side. Including the green masked man, they had a total of one hundred and one people.
Their numbers were almost double their own.
Lan Jue had no doubts about the mecha piloting abilities of the An Lun pilots.
In a direct confrontation, they would have no chance.
Therefore, if they wanted to win this battle, they had to break the opponent's strict formation. Only by making the opponent scatter and create chaos would they have a chance.
The National Eastern University's A.R.C. students had their Disciplines.
With Zhou Qianlin's Discipline now at rank five, there were no longer any Adepts below rank five.
Over the last two months, almost all of the students had improved their Disciplines to some degree.
This was especially true for the Adepts who had been rank five or so.
Large quantities of drugs, and Lan Jue's powerful bioelectricity, meant that if they didn't improve, they would have suffered for nothing.
Lan Jue led Mika and Xiu Xiu into the central zone.
He knew that the three of them were in the enemy's radar range.
Sure enough, there were five mechas on the other side, and they were headed in their direction.
For the sake of fairness, both Lan Jue and the green masked man were using the same mecha.
But this created a problem. Lan Qing had no idea which mecha Lan Jue was in, and Lan Jue didn't know which mecha he was in.
Therefore, after the drill began, it was also the time for them to battle wits and courage with each other.
If Lan Qing was among the five, then Lan Jue's team would have a hard time escaping unscathed.
On the other hand.
If Lan Qing wasn't there.
Then.
Even if it was three against five, Lan Jue's team would still be able to devour this juicy piece of meat.
The battle had begun.
Lan Jue didn't choose to fight recklessly. He knew Lan Qing's character.
Lan Qing had a calm personality, but he was not lacking in adventurous style in military operations.
Moreover, everything he did was done with great confidence.
His brother, in terms of strategy and tactics, has the imagination of Pegasus Xingkong.
The An Lun God of War wasn't easy to deal with.
He was leading the An Lun army.
His combat power had increased by at least 30%.
Therefore, from the start, the strategy that Lan Jue formulated for herself was to focus on stability.
Looking for opportunities in stability.
Together with Xiu Xiu and Mika, he retreated at a normal speed and flew toward Area A.
The five mechas behind them didn't continue to chase after them when they got close to their original location.
Just then, a powerful pulse of electromagnetic energy rippled through the battlefield. All of the An Lun mechas activated their radar interference.
The mechas of the special training class were instantly blinded.
"Activate the Interference Wave!" Lan Jue quickly gave the order. At the same time, she quickly rearranged the positions of each team.
Previously, he had allowed his opponent to see him on the radar in order to confuse them.
Be it Lan Jue or Lan Qing.
Both of them had done the same thing.
Now, the real battle had begun.
Lan Jue led Mika and Xiu Xiu in a sudden burst of speed. From a bird's eye view, it was possible to see that it wasn't just the three of them. The five mecha teams were using the hilly terrain as cover to converge on them.
To fight a battle of numbers, one had to concentrate their forces. This was the simplest principle in the art of war.
Lan Jue knew this, and so did Lan Qing.
So Lan Jue didn't know how her brother would deploy his forces.
But he didn't make any guesses. He knew what Lan Qing was capable of. If he let Lan Qing lead him by the nose, then he'd lose without even fighting. He had to catch him off guard. That was the only way he could find an opening.
The five teams quickly gathered. The two months of special training had not been in vain. Not only did they have fast reflexes, but they also did their best to conceal themselves as they moved forward. Every team leader led their team members as cautiously as possible to the designated location.
However, at this moment, the alarm suddenly rang.
"This is Geng Yang. We've been ambushed.
They're coming at us in an arrow-shaped formation. "
Geng Yang's frantic voice rang out from within Lan Jue's cockpit. Geng Yang shared his vision with her.
Lan Jue's heart sank. She could tell from the image that the enemy was charging at them in full force.
The neat triangular arrow-shaped formation rushed towards the fourth squad that was closing in on them like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
At that moment, Squad One, Squad Two, and Squad Three had already moved in according to his orders. Squad Four and Squad Five were in the process of closing in.
The enemy's charge was like cutting the special training class in half.
"Squad Five, retreat and hide. Squad Four, move far away to lure the enemy!" Lan Jue immediately ordered.
But as soon as he gave the order, Geng Yang's shared view disappeared. A barrage of lasers engulfed his figure. His team was under the onslaught of the onslaught.
From a distance, clouds of smoke could be seen rising. That was a sign that the training bag had been ignited.
Tang Mi led Squad Five to an abrupt halt. She quickly found a place to hide. Fortunately, her speed wasn't too fast. Otherwise, she would've been exposed.
Lan Jue's expression was very ugly. He knew that his brother was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect him to use this kind of tactic.
Relying on superior numbers to charge at full force was undoubtedly a simple and direct method, but it was also very effective.
As long as they encountered their own people, they could directly defeat them. Even if they didn't encounter them, there was no loss.
"Follow me!"
Lan Jue led the other three squads in a counterattack. Geng Yang's shared vision was effective. At the very least, it allowed them to pinpoint the enemy's location. Break through, counterattack, and cut the enemy in half. That was their chance!
He piloted his mecha up a small hill and peered into the distance.
Lan Jue's expression changed again.
He saw the An Lun army. One hundred and one mechas, not a single one missing.
But now they were all gathered in a valley, arranged in a circular formation. It was impenetrable.
The brief exchange had given Lan Jue and his ARC a taste of the An Lun army's power.
Whether it was speed, formation, or leadership, they were all superior.
They could move like an arm!
Squad Four was forced out of the battlefield. They'd lost a fifth of their strength, and that made the fight even more difficult.
If it weren't for Lan Jue's careful scouting, they would have charged in recklessly. Then they'd be hunted down.
Given the circumstances, they couldn't just charge in and die. Lan Jue's first order was to halt.
The three squads hid and retreated.
Only Lan Jue, Mika, and Xiu Xiu stayed behind to keep an eye on the enemy's movements.
The An Lun army paused in place for about five minutes. They didn't see the ambush they'd been expecting, so they changed their formation. In less than a minute, all one hundred and one of them had formed into a single line. They spread out and surrounded Lan Jue's group.
Lan Jue immediately understood. Geng Yang and Squad Four had exposed their position.
Lan Qing wasn't giving him the slightest chance!
On the surface, he had four choices. Retreat, move left, move right, or charge in from the center.
Breaking through the center was out of the question. Once their position was exposed, Lan Qing's terrifying command of the An Lun army would be enough to kill them all.
Retreat, move left, and move right. Lan Qing probably had a plan in place to deal with them as well.
Their living space would be squeezed even further.
What to do?
"Fall back!" Lan Jue calmly ordered. One by one, the orders were relayed to each squad leader.
The three squads quickly retreated in one direction, and the fifth squad that had escaped also retreated in one direction under his orders.
Lan Jue sent out a message as fast as he could. It didn't take long for a series of data reports to come through the screen.
Lan Jue's eyes lit up. A faint smile played on his lips.
Lan Qing calmly commanded the soldiers of the First Battalion. He himself sat in the center of the formation.
When it came to Lan Jue and his ARC class, Lan Qing didn't look down on them.
Over the past month of training, the students of the special training class had performed exceptionally, and all of them had displayed considerable talent.
Adepts weren't common among the commoners, and those who could reach the fifth rank or higher were even rarer.
In the military, not all Mech Pilots were Ability Users. It was just that Ability Users were given more priority.
Adepts were physically superior to commoners.
But there were also a few talented individuals among the commoners.
The An Lun army had the largest number of Adepts in the Eastern Alliance. But even that didn't cover the entire army. About a tenth of the soldiers were Adepts, the rest were commoners.
These commoners went through rigorous training and selection processes to become excellent pilots.
Although there were limitations, it wasn't impossible to find God-ranked pilots among the commoners. It was just rare.
Lan Jue's ARC class was filled with Adepts. All of them were Adepts, fifth rank or higher. They were the cream of the crop.
In the process of training, they were all carried out under the condition that they did not use their abilities.
That was why Lan Qing didn't know the full extent of their Disciplines.
That was why he'd brought an entire battalion with him.
If the individual combat power of both sides was almost the same, he felt that bringing 20 soldiers would be enough.
After all, a month's worth of training compared to ten years of training was a vast difference.
That's why Lan Qing had decided to fight as a group. They'd concentrate their firepower and prevent the enemy from using their individual abilities.
