You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 174 Cooperation
Li Zhe sat leisurely in the spacious cockpit.

Before him was an enormous holographic 3D battlefield sandbox, constructed from scratch.

The real-time dynamics of every island, every sea area, and every mech in the entire exercise area, and even the communication signals between them, were accurately captured, analyzed, and presented on this sand table.

[Commander, Xu Lei and Yi Ze's squad has engaged the 'Wu Yue-Zhu Que' squad. According to data model analysis, their probability of defeat without revealing their trump cards is 92.7%.]

Zero's voice rang out calmly, like that of a god conducting a war game.

"Don't worry about them," Li Zhe said calmly. "Flowers in a greenhouse will never grow into towering trees without experiencing wind and rain."

For Li Zhe, competing for points and rankings in such exercises is meaningless.

This was not his goal.

What Li Zhe wanted to do was to use this unprecedented "combat simulation," which brought together the most advanced technology and talent in the entire East China Theater, to test and advance his plans...

In any case, he wants to play the role of the only "outsider" in this game where everyone is bound by the rules.

To see through everything, to control everything...

Chess player!

……

On the battlefield, cannons roared.

Energy beams and physical projectiles intertwined to form a dazzling yet deadly web of death.

Xu Lei and Yi Ze's situation was worse than they had imagined.

The "Wu Yue-Zhu Que" squad displayed an extremely cunning and ruthless tactical style, which was completely contrary to their artistic appearance.

Like a well-coordinated pack of wolves, they used the terrain and their mobility to constantly tear apart Xu Lei and Yi Ze's fragile defenses.

"These guys are as slippery as eels!"

Xu Lei roared and swung his heavy battle axe, but he couldn't even touch the hem of the other's clothes.

His "Thick Earth" mech has amazing defensive capabilities.

But on such open island terrain, its bulky body became a fatal weakness, making it a veritable moving target.

Although Izawa's "Sakura Warrior" was agile enough, it was still struggling against the aerial suppression of several enemy "Crane" mechs and faced constant danger.

"This can't go on! We'll be worn down sooner or later!" Ize's voice was tinged with anxiety.

"Then what do you suggest we do?!" Xu Lei shouted as he dodged the attacks in a disheveled manner.

Just then, an even more powerful threat quietly descended.

"Warning! Hypersonic unit detected approaching! From...above!"

Accompanied by a piercing alarm, three silver-white mechs with futuristic designs descended from the sky like falcons, instantly cutting into the battlefield with an unparalleled momentum!
Behind them are exaggeratedly designed aerospace combat backpacks, full of violent aesthetics.

The powerful plasma engines spewed out blazing blue flames, giving them terrifying three-dimensional mobility far exceeding that of conventional mechs!

"It's the ace of 'South Heavenly Gate'! The 'Heavenly Gang' squad!"

When Ize saw the iconic "South Heavenly Gate" emblem on the opponent's mecha, his expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

Nantianmen Aerospace Mech University is renowned for its world-leading aerospace technology, and the mech pilots they train are absolute kings in the field of air combat.

And the "Tian Gang" team is the ace of ace!

"Wow, this is quite a lively scene."

Inside the cockpit of the lead mech, a young man with short silver hair and a smirk played on his lips as he watched the chaotic battle below. He spoke with great interest. His name was Qin Cang, the captain of the "Tian Gang" squad, and the undisputed number one genius of the Southern Heavenly Gate.

"Captain, should we clear the area first?" a team member asked.

"No rush." ​​Qin Cang shook his head, his gaze falling on Xu Lei and Yi Ze's mechs. "Let those 'Vermilion Bird' guys play with them for a while, and we... will reap the benefits."

The "Tian Gang" squad did not immediately join the battle, but instead, like vultures circling in the air, patiently waited for the best opportunity to reap the rewards.

Their appearance was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Xu Lei and Yi Ze, who were barely holding on, felt a surge of despair when they saw the three mechs hovering overhead like the Grim Reapers.

“It’s over…it’s completely over now…” A bitter smile appeared on Xu Lei’s face.

There were wolves in front, tigers behind, and three eagles perched overhead.

How is this played?
Surrender.

tired.

Just as Xu Lei was about to give up, Yi Ze's resolute and unwilling voice suddenly rang out in his communication channel.

"it's not finished yet!"

Izawa's "Sakura Warrior" performed a nimble roll, dodging several deadly beams of light, and took cover behind a huge rock.

"Xu Lei! Listen! We still have a chance!"

His voice no longer carried the arrogant haughtiness of the past, but instead possessed a calm and madness that disregarded life and death.

"The island has a complex terrain with many canyons and caves that we can use! As long as we can get inside, we can disable the 'Tiangang' gang's air superiority!"

“But…” Xu Lei hesitated, “What about those ‘Vermilion Bird’ guys? They’ll definitely come after us!”

“Then let’s lure them in, and then…” A ruthless glint flashed in Ize’s eyes, “and in this narrow terrain, we’ll have a real ‘close-quarters battle’ with them!”

"Your 'thick earth' is the best shield! My 'Sakura Warrior' is the sharpest spear!"

"As long as we can coordinate well, we may not be without a fighting chance!"

These words were like a shot in the arm, instantly revitalizing Xu Lei's waning fighting spirit.

Looking at the screen, at Ize's young face, which was full of indomitable spirit and determination, his passion was reignited.

"Okay! Just do it!"

He roared and pushed the engine power of the "Thick Earth" mech to its limit.

"Eze! I'll tank for you! You deal damage!"

"no problem!"

At this moment, the two mechs finally put aside their differences and prejudices and burst forth with an unprecedented tacit understanding.

Xu Lei's "Thick Earth" was like a mobile fortress, withstanding intense artillery fire, creating a bloody path for Ize's "Sakura Warrior".

Meanwhile, Izawa's "Sakura Warrior" transformed into a pink lightning bolt, following closely behind.

The twin swords in his hands flashed with a deadly cold light, forcing back the "Vermilion Bird" team members who tried to stop him.

The two attacked and defended, advanced and retreated, and managed to tear a gap in the encirclement of the "Vermilion Bird" team, successfully squeezing into a narrow canyon nearby!
