The leader of the second team was Wang Hongyuan. His side's situation was relatively better, because among his opponents, there was no strong player like Gao Lei.
Among Wang Hongyuan's Arcana, one of his best abilities was speed!
Most of the students in his team were also experts in speed.
So when they charged, they were like sharp blades that cut straight through the An Lun mechas!
The An Lun mechas responded in exactly the same way they had with Tan Lingyun's team. Five to a group, and a concentrated barrage of bullets.
Wang Hongyuan was a bit better at commanding than Tan Lingyun. He led his team in a line of ten, with himself at the front, sword in hand, parrying the incoming attacks.
But the An Lun team responded well. The four teams split up and fired from different angles. That made it impossible for Wang Hongyuan to protect everyone.
By the time they got close enough, two of his team members had their shields pierced. Smoke billowed out of their tactical bags.
You wouldn't know how terrifying they were until you actually fought them. These soldiers were like a program. There was no room for error, and they pushed themselves to the limit.
As the two sides closed in, Wang Hongyuan gritted his teeth and ordered his team to split up. They had no choice.
If they focused their attacks on one group, then the other three groups would be too powerful. They'd be wiped out before they could even finish off their opponents.
Even with Wang Hongyuan's strength, he didn't dare let so many enemy mechas shoot at him too many times.
The accuracy of the other party's attacks was simply too high. Under their combined attacks, it was practically impossible to dodge.
They still had nine people left, and they had to deal with four teams of An Lun soldiers.
Wang Hongyuan charged at the team furthest away from them.
The other eight students split into three groups.
Once they were within a certain distance of each other.
The A.R.C. students' abilities were on full display. Although their Disciplines were different, it didn't matter what they were, they all contained a certain amount of energy.
Energy was injected into the mecha, causing the core of the mecha to operate at 120%. Their speed was extremely fast, and the entire team was like a goddess scattering flowers as they charged toward their opponents.
A peculiar layer of crimson light appeared over Wang Hongyuan's mecha, and a crimson veil appeared on the mecha's back like a cape.
As soon as the crimson barrier unfurled, his mecha instantly appeared in front of that group of opponents.
A cloud of bloody mist burst forth, enveloping the five mechas in it.
The An Lun soldiers were quick to judge that their opponent was a powerful adept. Even so, they didn't panic.
They quickly put away their laser guns and took out their titanium alloy swords. Five swords were unleashed at the same time, and energy was injected into them. Five sword auras pierced out from five tricky angles, making the charging Wang Hongyuan feel extremely uncomfortable.
The mech tilted slightly.
The curtain of blood behind them rippled, and the five An Lun soldiers felt a strange power wash over them.
Their titanium alloy swords were deflected.
Wang Hongyuan's mecha took advantage of this opportunity to charge in.
He crashed into the five-man formation.
In terms of individual strength, the An Lun soldiers were far too weak. One by one, the mechas began to smoke and retreat.
The attacks from the other sides were slightly different, but at least the students had bought enough time for the An Lun mechas to focus their fire.
The simultaneous ambush from five different locations finally had a pretty good effect at this time.
At least the An Lun soldiers had suffered some losses.
Tang Xiao's Third Squad attacked the An Lun mechas at the tail end of the line. He took the lead and held his silver shield up in front of him. High and low, he deflected all the attacks that came his way.
Like a tank, he charged straight at his opponents.
After his evolution, Tang Xiao's Discipline had surpassed Wang Hongyuan's. He was officially an eighth rank Adept.
In terms of strength, he was second to none in the A.R.C. class.
What's more, he was a wretched bastard!
Tang Xiao had chosen the most concealed position. He'd used his Discipline to pick up a large boulder, then cautiously advanced. He'd waited until he was close enough to be discovered, then rushed out with his shield raised.
The defense of the metal shield was quite strong. More importantly, with the support of his Esper Ability, it had an extremely strong repair effect.
But the An Lun soldiers weren't just disciplined; they had a plethora of strategies and tactics.
Twenty An Lun soldiers split up and fired at the enemy.
With his shield up, Tang Xiao couldn't move too quickly.
He could protect his students for a while, but the enemy's attacks were too concentrated. He couldn't get close, and his Discipline was being drained.
Just then, ten beams of light shot out from behind Tang Xiao's shield.
They were aimed at a group of An Lun soldiers.
Not everyone in the A.R.C. class had chosen close-range weapons. Tang Xiao's team had chosen long-range weapons.
The reason was simple. Tang Xiao was confident in his defense. Within a certain range, he wouldn't be afraid of the enemy's attacks. If he wanted to retaliate, long-range attacks would be the most effective.
The A.R.C. students were the cream of the crop of the National Eastern University. Accuracy was no problem for them. In addition, there was one student in their team with a Discipline called Target Marking. He could accurately aim and predict his targets, and share his results with others within a certain range.
At his current level of Discipline, he could share his results with allies within a thirty meter radius.
That was more than enough for their team.
Tang Xiao had recruited him because he knew what he was capable of.
At this moment, the effect was extremely good.
Ten beams of light shot out at once. The An Lun mechas couldn't withstand such a barrage, and as soon as they took to the air they became targets. One of the mechas smoked and dropped out of the fight.
A second round of attacks followed.
With the Discipline to replenish the mechas, the A.R.C. class had the advantage in terms of attack speed.
In the blink of an eye, three An Lun mechas had dropped out of the fight.
Tang Xiao's defense was as solid as ever.
The An Lun's tactics changed. The remaining mechas dove down, swapping out their weapons for titanium alloy swords.
Passively taking a beating wasn't something they could do. They had to fight back.
Hidden behind his shield, Tang Xiao's chubby face lit up with a cunning smile. This was exactly what he wanted to see!
Finally, his eighth rank Discipline could be used to its fullest potential!
The first, second, and third squads of the A.R.C. class had all achieved the results they'd hoped for. Although they'd all suffered different losses, they'd managed to inflict significant damage to the An Lun army. They'd also managed to tie down their opponents, making it impossible for the An Lun army to attack from both ends.
But Squad Five had run into trouble.
Squad Five was led by Tang Mi.
This squad was the weakest in the A.R.C. class. The female students, including Zhou Qianlin, were all part of this squad.
Tang Mi's training had improved considerably over the past few days. She was now a sixth rank Talent.
Their squad had been isolated from the other squads, so they'd attacked in the opposite direction from the other squads.
They'd been discovered as soon as they'd emerged.
The An Lun army focused fire on them, and in a matter of seconds, five mechas were forced to retreat.
There were only six people left.
But An Lun's mecha retreated as it fought. Another mecha fell to the ground, but there were still twenty mechas on the enemy's side.
They were getting closer, but they were too few in number. They didn't have the strength to back them up, and they were in dire straits.
If they failed, the An Lun mechas would have time to send reinforcements elsewhere. If that happened, it'd be too difficult for the An Lun army to win.
A familiar voice crackled through Tang Mi's mecha. "Keep it up, Xiao Mi.
Give it everything you've got! "
Right after that, Tang Mi felt a mecha suddenly close in on her from behind. Then, a white light shot out from the cockpit of this mecha's chest and landed on the back of her mecha.
Suddenly, Tang Mi only felt a warm power instantly pouring into her body. Her Arcana felt as if it had been poured with a catalyst, and there was a strong feeling of a blowout.
Tang Mi's Discipline came from the same source as Tang Xiao's, but it wasn't as strong as Tang Xiao's.
But as the energy poured into her, she felt a change.
She gripped a titanium alloy sword in each hand, and it glowed with a brilliant silver light. Then, two beams of light shot out.
Two nearby An Lun mechas were caught off guard, and were struck in the side.
Tang Mi didn't have time to ask Zhou Qianlin what was going on. She piloted her mecha and accelerated.
She felt her Discipline rise by another level as the beam of white light poured into her. Her speed skyrocketed, and she cut right into the midst of the An Lun soldiers.
The titanium alloy sword in her hand glowed with a blinding silver light, and it wasn't something the mechas could defend against. One by one, the tactical bags were punctured, and smoke billowed into the air.
Tang Mi was too fast. She couldn't turn herself into metal, but her attacks were as deadly as ever.
With the help of Zhou Qianlin's energy, the An Lun mechas had no choice but to focus their attention on her.
Tang Mi found that she could no longer control her own body. Not only had her abilities been greatly enhanced, but even her physical abilities had also been enhanced.
Just now, when she dodged an opponent's attack, her mecha blurred into a blur. It was a precursor to the Lightning Doppelganger.
She sped up, sprinted, and tangled with the mechas.
The surviving mechas in her team were all relatively strong, and now that they were close enough to assist her, they were finally able to keep the enemies in front of them busy.
