Now, every battle has its highlights and is worth watching because even the D-level players are potentially masquerading as D-level, and the matches they get are no longer just four D-levels against four D-levels. Sometimes they face Level B opponents, and sometimes, even A-level ones. As their strength continually increases, even an S-level pilot would panic when facing several lower-level opponents at the same time.
Fat Tiger Zhang Xiaobo encountered a tough opponent in this battle, the Black Cloaked Loli Margaret, who was officially rated as an S-level player. Despite still being D-level, he knew this opponent wasn't as simple as the previous ones. Popping her wasn't as easy as just deciding to do so.
As the battle commenced, the four of them immediately surrounded Black Cloaked Loli Margaret in the center…
Although these four had never coordinated before and hadn't fought together, it wasn't necessary. Anyone who reached this point was skilled. They knew that their communication devices allowed them to speak within the channel. With just a sound or a movement, nearly everyone knew what to do, since they were all in the same boat. They would either be wiped out together or wipe out their opponent. As long as one of them was still alive, the four of them would cover each other, and surprisingly, the higher the rating, the less advantage they had.
Fat Tiger was well aware of the implications of making it to the final rounds, and he couldn't afford to have the same mentality as at the beginning. Just then, someone else's voice came through the communication channel, "An S-level player, does anyone have information on this person?"
Another voice spoke up, "This Black Cloaked Loli Margaret is a real-world master from the Diya Alliance, an ace-level player, a true ace."
For a moment, the communication channel fell utterly silent, but it was soon broken by a female voice, "So what if she's an ace? We are four people, and getting here wasn't without chance. The issue is who takes the lead in offense and defense."
Zhang Xiaobo suddenly spoke up, "I'll take the lead in attacking."
"You… Are you sure?" Everyone glanced at him simultaneously.
"I think I can do it. Not to hide anything, I come from the Normandy fleet, and my skill level is also at the advanced stage of Red Cloak."
What? He was from the Normandy fleet and at the advanced stage of skills. Everyone felt like they had been electrified upon hearing this, "Are you serious?"
The surprised girl said, "I heard that the Normandy fleet had two Red Cloaks who frequently cooperated with super soldiers. You aren't the legendary one, are you?"
"That would be me." Fat Tiger was somewhat proud, though no one could see the proud grin on his face. However, he could hear the ecstatic voices through the communicator. Having another real Red Cloak master in the team meant the odds of winning this battle just increased a lot.
The first man to speak up then said, "What should we do? Your knowledge and experience are beyond ours, give us a tactic."
"Haha, I'm used to fighting alone, and I don't do much teamwork. You three could try to hold her off as much as possible while I lead the main attack, after all…"
"After all, what?"
"After all, none of you have really contended with this level of opponent before. The level difference might get you killed instantly. By the way, what are your respective levels?"
"I'm at the advanced level," said the girl.
The first speaker also identified himself as an advanced-level pilot, while the second one to speak mentioned that he had just reached the mid-level.
Fortuitously, Fat Tiger's combat plan involved him initiating the attack. As a burst mode fighter, he indeed wanted to clash directly with the ace. Subsequently, the two advanced-level pilots would support, while the mid-level could engage from a slightly farther distance. The gap between their levels was too wide; from his experience, a mid-level pilot could be knocked down within three moves by a White Cloak, whereas an advanced-level should be able to stay up for a couple of moves, albeit limited, it was still better than instantly losing combat power.
After a brief consultation, they temporarily assigned numbers with the first speaker as Number 1, the second as Number 2, the girl as Number 3, and he, the lead attacker, as Number 4.
The four quickly entered the mech selection phase, each choosing the mecha they were most familiar with. Fat Tiger's smurf account didn't have any good mechs, all basic models like Sha Meng Mech, Earth Mech, and such as Gun Rider, Rally Point.
Out of habit, Fat Tiger definitely preferred using a domestic main battle model, so his choice was between Gun Rider and Rally Point, and he unhesitatingly chose a Rally Point.
Just as the countdown started, a throng of spectators had already packed the arena. Most were there for Black Cloaked Loli Margaret, after all, she was a real-world master from the Diya Alliance, and many spectators were from Diya IP addresses.
Who would have thought, as soon as the battle started, a D-rated player instantly charged at Black Cloaked Loli Margaret, and even solo. It's not suicide if it doesn't kill you, was he trying to give her a free win?
Yet, a second later, people realized that this wasn't the case. The leap and slash were so powerful that even black Cloaked Loli Margaret staggered back, unable to regain her posture. Before she could recover, Fat Tiger swung another strike, Whirlwind Slash, and with a clang, the defensive Black Cloaked Loli Margaret staggered back again.
