It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future - Chapter 1117

Chapter 1117: Leader’s Mecha!

“Knight Ace Mecha Clan? Is it the one that ranks 18th in Caesar?” Those who didn’t recognize the emblem at the beginning heard others calling it out and they also began to realize it.

“Other than them, who else could it be?” One mecha operator had a pale look on his face, “We’re in deep trouble. We don’t have any mecha clans in our base that could fight on par with Knight Ace Mecha Clan.”

After hearing these words, everyone felt their hearts sink.

“Which mecha clan did we send out to intercept them? How is their situation right now?” One mecha operator asked anxiously. The mecha clan that was intercepting them was undoubtedly using their lives to fill the void to give them a chance to escape.

At that moment, a Federation ace mecha ruthlessly smashed into an ace mecha from Knight Ace. The two mechas were sent flying backwards by the force from each other. The position of the Federation ace mecha was just right for everyone to see the emblem on the mecha. A dark phoenix screeching with its wings spread out as if it was going fly off the mecha was shown on the screen.

“Dark phoenix? Which mecha clan is that?” There was no doubt that Lingtian’s emblem wasn’t well-known by the soldiers in the base. Thus, many soldiers were confused when they saw the emblem show up on their screen.

“That’s Lingtian Mecha Clan’s emblem.” However, there were still some people who knew and not long after, they all shouted out these similar words.

“Is it the mecha clan that substituted Proud Wind Mecha Clan as the Base Nebula’s main mecha clan?” Everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect that the mecha clan that was only used in emergencies actually appeared on the battlefield first.

“Look, it’s all Lingtian’s mechas.” The video feed zoomed out to show the whole battlefield. Everyone in the base saw that the area was filled with Lingtian and Knight Ace Mecha Clan’s members. They had already begun a full battle and were at each other’s throats.

Despite many normal soldiers being discontent and even resentful with the fact that Lingtian had substituted Proud Wind Mecha Clan as the main mecha clan for the Base Nebula, these feelings instantly disappeared when they saw Lingtian fighting on the front lines against Knight Ace Mecha Clan. Instead, a feeling of admiration began to rise in their hearts.

“But, how long can Lingtian Mecha Clan last?” One soldier had an expression of agony in his face. The feeling of watching allies giving up their lives wasn’t a good feeling.

No one could answer his question and the entire area turned silent.

Those who were smart knew that they could only rely on Base Nebula to escape. However, their comrades who were fighting would not be able to survive if they were to do that.

“Did Lingtian know Knight Ace Mecha Clan was coming?” Finally, someone asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

This was the only possible reason for the main clan of the base, Lingtian, to appear on the battlefield so early in the battle.

However, that was only a possibility, but it still made everyone feel terrible. This meant that Lingtian had gone out to battle knowing that they were giving up their lives, yet they still did it without hesitation. Even these veterans who had been in Base Nebula for many years couldn’t be certain that when faced with a situation like this, they could be able to calmly and peacefully accept this task.

“Just looking at their determination, we are already inferior to them.” One ace mecha clan’s mecha operator had an embarrassed look on his face.

What right did they have to look down on Lingtian back then?

Just as everyone were feeling sorry for themselves, they suddenly heard some shout out excitedly, “So f*cking amazing. Quick, everyone! Watch the screen!”

Everyone quickly turned their attention to the screen they gathered around. The video feed became zoomed in on one of the battles that was going on. It showed one Federation mecha and one Caesar mecha moving towards each other at top speeds.

Most of them didn’t see that just before they focused their attention on the screen, the Federation mecha made a clean cut with his sword on his opponent. This smooth action made the soldier who saw the moment become so excited that he shouted out loud.

They quickly clashed against each other. A sword reflection was showed in an instant as the two mechas moved beside each other instantly before moving to two different sides.

After the two mechas held an attack pose for a few seconds, one of the mechas suddenly exploded. At that moment, the other mecha slowly turned around and slashed the large sword to the side, showing the dark phoenix emblem on its chest. Under the emblem, the number 04-001 was clearly shown to everyone who was watching.

The soldiers in the base who knew about the meaning of the serial numbers in the Federation figured out the identity of this mecha operator in an instant.

“It’s Lingtian Team 04’s leader’s mecha. He’s so strong.” His strength was definitely above the enemy to be able to kill his opponent that easily.

“It was probably just an average team member.” Most of them were still pessimistic about the situation. After all, Knight Ace Mecha Clan’s name was too well-known. Everyone that didn’t know Lingtian’s real strength, would still think negatively of Lingtian.

However, their guess wasn’t wrong. A leader of Knight Ace Mecha Clan became livid after seeing his team member be so easily killed. He instantly left the opponent who he was fighting with, turned around and pounced towards this Federation’s leader who had Knight Ace Mecha Clan’s blood on his hands.

“That’s… Knight Ace Mecha Clan Team 09’s leader.” The spectators shouted out instantly when they were finally able to clearly see the emblem, the letters and numbers of the mecha.

“That’s one of Knight Ace Mecha Clan’s top ten leaders. Can Lingtian Team 04’s leader go against him?” Everyone was worried. Their hearts felt heavy as if someone was clenching them, so heavy that they couldn’t breathe.

Seeing the opposition coming towards him, Lingtian Team 04’s leader decisively held up the large sword in his hand and piloted his mecha towards the opponent without any fear or hesitation.

He chose to fight!

Even though the large screen was only a video without sound, the audience still could feel the immense force created from two mechas smashing into each other. Similarly, the rebound force created by mechas was also extremely terrifying. Normal mecha operators wouldn’t be able to handle it.

The two mechas pushed against each other for a few seconds before sending each other away. The distance the two of them flew back were similar. They simultaneously took back control of their mechas, took out their long range beam guns while flying back and shot towards one another.

“Their strength is on par!”

“Neither of them are letting up!”

“Lingtian’s leader isn’t any weaker than Knight Ace Mecha Clan’s leader.”

“Amazing.”

“Lingtian’s leaders are so strong!”

The amazing battle between the two mechas excited everyone. They originally thought that the fight was going to heavily favour one side. They didn’t expect that Lingtian’s leader to be so strong to the point of not being in a disadvantage when facing one of the top 10 leaders from Knight Ace Mecha Clan.

The two mechas aimed at each other for a few seconds and almost simultaneously pulled on their triggers.

Two white beams of light cut through the space in between them. Right as the light was about to hit them, the two mechas suddenly moved oddly which caused the beams to just miss their mechas.

“Is that the Irregular Flicker?”

“No, that’s Shadow Step! The final form of Irregular Flicker.” One ace operator shouted out loudly. Being able to do Shadow Step was a condition for advancing into an imperial operator. Most peak-level ace operators would try to perform Shadow Step. However unfortunately, Shadow Step was very difficult. Only a few people would be successful even if they were peak-level ace operators.
