Chapter 428: The Gold Wheel Reappears

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

After the two rounds of battles were over, it seemed that the situation was leaning towards the Solar System Federation team’s side. Even Wang Zheng defeating Snow Lee was not considered something that was super startling. After all, he had given people lots of surprises at the beginning, and every time, he was able to win in an unexpected manner, hence this was something not as startling.

Without a doubt, he had become the focus of attention once again. Many of the people present knew that Wang Zheng had an ice Ability X, even though he had not used it in “public” before. However, suddenly, in this battle he used a fire Ability X. What’s more, this ability was at the C rank. Having two types of completely opposing abilities was really too rare.

Now that the Solar System Federation team had two points, it was time for Wang Zheng to make his choice next.

“Leader Wang Zheng, do you choose to continue with a 1v1 battle or a team battle?”

The referee of the Milky Way Alliance asked.

Wang Zheng gave a little smile and looked at Snow Lee. “Team battle.”

Everyone was whispering to one another. This was the first team battle of this IG with actual significance. It was unexpected that it would be initiated by the Solar System Federation.

The referee was very indifferent. “The team leaders of both sides, please choose five team members for the battle and the mecha that will be needed. After that, we will go for a halftime break, and the team battle will begin in an hour.”

The venue of the team battle was different, but the basic mode of the battle used the commonly used team battle mode in the Milky Way.

Both the red and blue teams were to defend an energy source respectively. The IG used energy source that would be able to support twelve members in energy recharge. The strategy was to defeat their opponents or to destroy the opponent’s energy source to attain victory.

As there was absolutely no way one could win stealthily, the former was basically the normal way to attain victory. Of course, it did not rule out the notion of sacrificing lives to attain victory through the latter.

This was mainly to test the commanding ability of the team leader, the executing ability of the team members, and the on-the-spot responses of both parties. It very much demonstrated one’s ability to understand the situation and the individual ability of everyone in the team. Merely being bolder may not mean that one would be able to attain victory, because if they were not careful, the mistake of one person would lead the whole team to be destroyed.

In the military, individual ability would be prized. But in reality, one’s leadership ability was the way of the king. During team battles, the little details would determine success or failure. So, team battles were only added in at the final stages, as at the same time, team battles also put each team to the test to see how they would do in future.   ( Updated by NovelFull.Com)

Yet at the same time, there were no tricks possible for team battles. Even Wang Zheng and the rest had attended a class for tactical training. It was for them to understand the common strategies used in these battles. But the most important thing was still putting it into use in reality.

Generally speaking, team battles were what the Solar System Federation team was the least good at. This was because they had never undergone real combat drills.

Wang Zheng’s choice caused Meng Ao and the rest to be flabbergasted.

“Why is this fellow causing trouble!?”

“This is absolutely challenging how much my heart is able to endure!”

“This is our weakest area. We should be running away from it, but why are we initiating it instead?”

Drachmach had a big headache. The reason why they had not focused training in this area was because they had thought that it was absolutely impossible for them to enter the quarterfinals. That was why they were only lectured on the concepts. Wang Zheng was great, he had just gotten the opportunity to win, but he had thrown it away!

And for the Hail Cloud Alliance team, who was already a little low in morale, this ignited raging flames in them.

Their chance had come.

The Hail Cloud Alliance was one of the teams that were good at team battles, and their strength was definitely in one of the top 5.

Of course, for the teams currently, except for the Solar System Federation team, the rest of the teams all had experience in team battles, and even their rapport and coordination were also fairly high.

Lear and Achilles looked at each other. They were indeed helpless when it came to Wang Zheng’s choices. This fellow was absolutely daring, challenging his limits again and again.

“Why is everyone looking at me like this? Do you think we can’t beat the Hail Cloud team?” Wang Zheng waved his hands helplessly.

“If it’s a team battle you want, then it’s a team battle you get. It will be good to resolve this once and for all!” Lear said coldly.

Wang Zheng laughed. “Very good. Lear, Achilles, Zhang Shan, Meng Tian, and me.”

“Wang Zheng, you have just been through a tough battle. Will you be alright? Don’t force yourself,” Achilles said.

“No worries, there is still an hour. I will surely recover fully by then,” Wang Zheng said.

Lear was slightly shocked. He thought that Wang Zheng was going to exclude him again, but…

As for Snow Lee on the opposite, even though she was slightly injured, as Xu Dongsheng was unable to fight, she still decided to continue to go up for the battle. It was clear that undergoing some simple treatment for an hour would be sufficient for her to exhibit 80% of her strength. And this would still leave her much stronger than her average team members.

Solar System team: Wang Zheng, Lear, Achilles, Zhang Shan, Meng Tian

Hail Cloud Alliance team: Snow Lee, Farquhar, Li Yun, Zhao Qingyu, Gilels

Even though they had lost their vanguard, Xu Dongsheng, there was also not much difference in strength between the vice team leader, Farquhar, and Li Yun. It was just that the morale of the Hail Cloud Alliance was slightly low. Snow Lee was very clear that this was their last chance. If they were able to win this, the momentum of the Solar System would be overturned. However, if they lost, the IG this year would also come to an end for them. Even though they had already accomplished their goal, nobody would wish to be eliminated.

Everyone were discussing their tactics for a while, and at the same time, they also chose their mecha.

Lear chose the Unbounded Sky Chains with speed as its strong point.

Achilles chose the Moonlit Knight.

Zhang Shan chose Aslan’s Glorious Knight. It was a warrior-type mecha, and mainly it was to match with Zhang Shan’s space and time warping ability.

Meng Tian chose the Earth’s special version of the Parsons Falcon. It came with a crossbow, and its special characteristic was that its crossbow arrows possessed extremely strong penetration abilities. It was especially targeted to cause harm to energy shields.

As for Wang Zheng, he chose the Golden Wheel. Actually, he still wanted to choose the Hercules. However, after considering the mobility of the Hercules, he had decided that he should forget it. After all, victory was still important. Hercules was more defensive than offensive. Furthermore, it would be easily suppressed in a team battle. However, using the Golden Wheel would be able to ensure victory.

As the team leader, victory was still the number one task.

After seeing that Wang Zheng had chosen the Golden Wheel, the whole audience was extremely quiet.

Initially, they were discussing the results enthusiastically, but suddenly, they all quietened down.

Zhang Shan turned and asked, “Eh, what happened? Why did everyone stop talking?”

The Hail Cloud Alliance side was having a headache. It was obvious that they had heard about how terrifying this mech of Wang Zheng was. But only Snow Lee herself knew how scary it truly was.

It was easy to suppress most mecha in a group battle, but what about this one? How could they counter him?

Would they use a scout?

The scariest thing about a team battle was that your scout might not have the room to exhibit its skills, as they were not as effective in full frontal clashes. After all, the rest of the enemy team were not wooden blocks.

When Wang Zheng chose the Golden Wheel, Snow Lee, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt disheartened.

“I cannot be like this, I definitely cannot be like this.” Snow Lee told herself that she must not concede defeat in her heart, as she was the team leader of the Hail Cloud team!

“As much as possible, try to choose tank types, or those types with energy shields that are strengthened,” Snow Lee said, clenching her pearly white teeth. She had never, ever felt so at a loss.

“Leader… if that’s the case, we would lose all our mobility; we would be restrained.”

“We will beat them through steady suppression!” Snow Lee said. With their cooperation, perhaps they would have a chance if they formed a domineering firepower wall against the Solar System Federation team and to restrain them this way. Even if they would not be able to defeat Wang Zheng, it would be alright if they were able to attain victory.

Few people had witnessed the prowess of the Golden Wheel for themselves. Other than the S-class mission, Wang Zheng had only used the Golden Wheel to defeat Vincent. That battle was indeed brilliant and beyond comparison; however, there were very little people who appreciated the skill involved.
