Chapter 435: Preparing for War

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Were there no strong opponents?

Actually, the Solar System Federation team’s advancement through the ranks was not an easy journey. They were met with several obstacles and oftentimes found themselves near elimination. But they persevered and got into the top four, eliminating top level teams like the Manalasuo Empire team, the Darkness Empire team, and the Hail Cloud Alliance team.

As long as their opponent was the Atlantis team in the semifinals, perhaps winning or losing would no longer be important. It would be enough to just do their very best.

No matter to who, it was already a miracle that the Solar System Federation team could enter the four strongest.

But to the internal members of the Solar Stem Federation, this was not the case – at least this was not what Wang Zheng and his team thought.

The reason they felt pressured, the reason they were silent, was because they wanted to win. If you were talking about the size of ambitions, the Solar System was no doubt the No. 1 in the Milky Way Alliance. No matter how weakened the Solar System was, as long as there was a chance, the Solar System Federation only wanted first place.

It was good to have ambitions, but the reality was less than optimistic. The Atlanteans were like a tall mountain blocking their path.

Even if meeting them in the finals was better than meeting them in the semifinals, it was the reality that they were going to meet the Atlanteans in the semifinals.

There were two days of rest before the semifinals began. The organizing committee would also be building a better battleground for the semifinals for these strongest teams to fully exhibit their powers.

However, to the teams in the semifinals, this was the last and the best time to get to know their opponents.

Only the teams with the best preparatory work done would take a lead.

Yan Xiaosu wanted to help contribute in his own way, but the Atlantean mecha were really too scary and too difficult to beat. However, they surely had a weakness. It was impossible that they were undefeatable. Regardless of whether they could really win or not, they should try to analyze them.

Yan Xiaosu had already sent the battle videos back to Earth. Old Deer, Yao Ailun, Chen Xiu, and their group had formed a research team.

Even though they only played CT, as experienced mecha fans, they may not be clear about the mechanics of the mecha, but when it came to superficial techniques, they had their own analysis.

IG had a huge influence on the military academics. As the team leader, Wang Zheng had brought great honor to Ares College when the Solar System Federation team made it to the top four. Even though not everyone could watch live, or even watch at all, they were still very enthusiastic.

Honestly, no one could believe that the Solar System Federation team had actually made it to the top four, and that they had actually defeated top level teams, like Manalasuo, in their battles. In the past, they could only do so in their imaginations.

Old Deer and his group fell silent for a long while after watching the Atlanteans’ performance.

Even if they could provide only an amateur’s point of view, Yao Ailun and his group still wanted to do something. Chen Xiu’s classification of mecha was lacking in information regarding the Atlanteans and Mayans. On one hand, it was because they were less publicized and their relevant details were little.

The Specter King, the Phantom King, and the Poseidon’s Ritual. Any one of these three were undefeatable, yet these were the mecha which the Solar System Federation team had to face.

“Old Deer, don’t just sit there. Didn’t you call yourself the most professional commentator? Give some suggestions!”

Yao Ailun said. Ailun rarely looked up to a person. After working together for a long time, to be honest, Yao Ailun was sincerely impressed with Old Deer’s professional knowledge. Even though they usually bickered, they had become good friends. Even though they would never give way when quarrelling, after their quarrels, they could still have a kebab or a beer together. action

“I’m not too familiar with the Specter King and Poseidon’s Ritual. But for the Phantom King, I’ve seen it before.”

“You’ve seen it?”

“When I was young, I made an actual trip to Atlantis and was fortunate enough to visit the Atlanteans’ training ground. The Phantom King that I saw then was different from the ones now, but it was the basic model. The Phantom King now has probably reached a state of perfection,” Old Deer said emotionally.

“Old Deer, do you have any tricks to defeat them? If it’s a little doable, we could still give Wang Zheng some help. These Atlanteans are so unfair. They actually use such a BUG-like mech,” Chen Xiu said. The Atlantean mecha in the various CT regions were basically not usable. Only those with Atlantean bloodlines could use them. Actually, the mecha could technically be programmed by the company to be used by anyone, but this violated CT’s own rules and thus it was not done. But up to now, the Atlantean mecha functions were superior.

“I actually did research on the Atlantean mecha for some time. Their power comes from three aspects. The first one is the pilot. The most frightening part of an Atlantean mech is not the mech itself, but the pilot. Usually we neglect the skill of the pilot because of the impressiveness of the mech. As though anyone could be invincible just because of the mech. Actually, Atlantean warriors themselves are the scariest because their spiritual power is several times that of humans. Some geniuses’ powers may reach as high as ten times. This is the source of their power. The second aspect is their runic mecha. This is a type of carving technology. Spiritual power-based carving gives the mecha a lifelike performance. The third aspect is.... Their understanding.”

“Understanding?”

“Yes, the Atlantean warriors train differently from us. Our style is to train hard, while they focus on communication. Under usual circumstances, a pilot will only choose one mech. Using their words, every mech has a life. When you resonate with the mech, it becomes your companion and you can use it as freely as your own arm,” Old Deer said.

“Old deer, are you exaggerating? I feel hopeless listening to you.”

“Let’s just not butt in. Wang Zheng and his team are sure to have their own ideas. They are in a different world from us.”

Old Deer laughed. “Well, you don’t need to despair. I think that Skeleton can create miracles.”

“Ah? Aren’t you determined to be Skeleton’s anti-fan?”

“Yes, if he returns to my turf, I will be criticizing him.” Old Deer laughed, but you could see that he missed Skeleton. Days without surprises were quite boring.

“It’s weird that this time the media did not really publicize this IG. Such a big glory attributed to the people of the Solar System and yet no one reported it? The media is always doing useless things.”

“IG involves a wide range of aspects, even the CT officials did not make any noise this time, so who knows.”

When Solon received the news, he almost went mad with excitement. Just as he was about to publicize aggressively, he received an official warning. It was baffling.

He was warned that the IG was a serious military operation. Once it progressed to the top 8, it was assigned a grade A confidentiality level. All media and commercial hype were prohibited.

Even though the warning came in a light-hearted tone, the order came from the highest levels of the Federation. Perhaps they were afraid of losing?

Solon had no choice but to follow the order. He could not fight against them; this showed how his political status was important for him to have a bit of right to speech.

Arbiter Tactical Analysis Conference.

On the large screen were the super mecha of the Mayans – Heavenly Crystal King and Maya’s Mantis.

“The Mayans’ mecha have much higher energy storage and output than ours, and they are using the newest technology. Our energy shields are basically useless against their attacks. To put it simply, you can call this the penetration energy.”

“Is this any different from the Atlantean Poseidon’s Ritual?”

“The difference is big. The Mayans’ attack is still energy based. The Atlanteans’ attack is spiritual. But at the moment, let’s focus on the Mayans. Olivios, do you have any ideas?”

Olivios looked at the mecha on the screen. “No.”

The Colonel of Tactical Analysis was stunned and said, “At the moment, we have yet to know the number of times the Maya’s Mantis can revive. Usually, we have to destroy their memory core before they die. From the energy aspect, the Mayan mecha are ahead of us.”

“No need to look for their memory core. It will end when we kill the pilot directly.”

Olivios said calmly. In the instant the Maya’s Mantis explodes, one part includes the pilot. Instead of trying all ways to find the memory core, they might as well destroy the pilot directly.

Everyone was stunned for the moment. How was this easier? But perhaps Olivios might really have the ability to do it.

“The Mayans are difficult to deal with. At the moment, we have no way to defend against their energy attacks, so we need to fight in close combat. Even though they have improved, we are still slightly stronger in close combat. Not everyone can use the Maya’s Mantis. I think only Mayans with a fairly high amount of energy can pilot this mech.”

The Mayan mecha needed the pilot’s own energy to be high enough before it could coordinate with the mech.

As the colonel was talking, a warrior walked in and handed him a file. The colonel nodded. “We just received some intel. There isn’t complete energy penetration. That is just a smokescreen. Regarding the Death Song Wave, it is actually the Mayans’ fancy move. They use their opponent’s mech’s own energy to produce an anti-seismic impact that damages the opponent. In other words, the stronger the energy shield, the larger the anti-seismic force.”
