Chapter 856: The Price of Blood!
Editor: Henyee Translations “Observe the enemies closely.
Our regint commander said the people with the golden plates on their shoulders are our opponent.” The team 01’s leader, Yang Mingzhi, looked towards the Hailiya cha operators who were getting closer and closer towards them.
He calmly inford all the cha operators of 250 Ace cha Clan.
“Understood, leader.” His team mber replied.
“Understood, Leader Yang.” replied the mbers of other teams.
“Understood Leader Yang… but can I ask why?” It was Yan Three’s question.
They were able to use the sa commlink channel as the cha operator from 250 due to them being temporarily incorporated into the teams, so he heard Leader Yang’s reminder.
Although Yan Three said that he understood the command just like everyone else in 250 Ace cha Clan, he still spoke out the question he had in his mind.
Those who received Ling Lan’s intel were only the 10 team leaders of 250 Ace cha Clan and their deputies.
Yan Three’s Evil Wind cha Team and other team leaders however, who were not part of Ling Lan’s posse, weren’t able to get any intel about the cha operators with golden plates.
“Our regint commander had said that those with golden plate are either elite ace cha master or top-level ace cha masters…” Yang Mingzhi stopped himself from continuing to prevent the Evil Wind cha operators from becoming more terrified.
Ling Lan’s information, or rather guess, was that the golden plated battle team’s leaders level cha operators could possibility be at the imperial cha operator levels of capabilities.
“Elite ace?
Top-level ace?” As expected, Yan Three shuddered at the thought of it.
Ever since he entered ace level, he learned that there were actually three levels differentiating ace cha masters.
It was standard, elite and top-level.
Standard ace operators were ace operators like him, and this level had the most number of people.
One level higher than standard was elite.
Yan Three was close to being an elite.
However, he was only close to elite, so it didn’t an much.
Plus, there was still the top-level that he had to reach.
That stage was considered to be halfway towards becoming imperial cha operators.
In terms of ace operators, top-level operators were considered to be invincible.
Hearing Yang Mingzhi’s explanation, the cha operators from Evil Wind all shuddered just like their team leader.
They imdiately began to look for chas with a golden plate on their right shoulders.
Finally, they found one sector among the Hailiyan army where there was a group of chas with a golden plate on their shoulders.
They numbered around 500 or even more.
“We only have 200 people, how can we fight them?” One mber from Evil Wind couldn’t help but shout out.
“Our regint commander is already coming with reinforcents, but before he arrives, we must hold the fort and stop them from getting past us.” Yang Mingzhi took a deep breath.
Using 200 to go against 500 or 600 people was without a doubt a battle with the greatest disparity that he would fight in since joining the military.
It was also the hardest battle.
However, he knew that if they couldn’t stop them here, more of their comrades would die at their hands.
“That’s not possible…” cha operators from Evil Wind were not confident that they could do such a thing.
“Stop!” Yan Three suddenly shouted.
“Has everyone forgotten how we all beca cha operators?” Yan Three’s question shut up all of the cha operators from Evil Wind.
Every mission for them in the past were considered to be suicide missions.
They managed to get past hardships after falling into despair each and every ti.
The current scenario was just a bit more difficult than the ones they had experienced in the past, so why should they be afraid?
Was it because when they had advanced to ace level, they had lost their willpower from the past?
“Our leader is right.
We are all ace cha operators who rose up from the very bottom.
We fight against stronger enemies in every battle, and we managed to stay alive after every battle.
Why does it matter that this ti our enemies are elites or top-levels ace cha masters?
We just need to fight through it again.” One cha operator from Evil Wind cha Team suddenly shouted.
“Yeah, let us fight once again.” The other cha operators from Evil Wind also shouted.
This scene made the cha operators from 250 Ace cha Clan look at those from Evil Wind in a new light.
After being so used to the formality in their academies and the standard operating techniques from there, those from 250 Ace cha Clan could easily notice the flaws in the cha operation of chas by Evil Wind.
Those from 250 Ace cha Clan had high regards in their operating techniques, so they even looked down on them sowhat.
They always felt that Evil Wind’s operating techniques shad the word ‘cha piloting’ in their hearts.
However, Evil Wind’s willingness to sacrifice their lives was the sa as those from 250 Ace cha Clan.
Even though they ca from academies, they were still the sa as Evil Wind in this aspect.
Ever since they beca soldiers and operated chas, they had already given up their lives to do what they love most in their lives which was cha piloting.
Seeing that those from Evil Wind cha Team was no longer afraid, Yang Mingzhi had a hint of approval in his expression.
With the cha operators from Evil Wind cha Team, they could probably stop one to two hundred cha operators.
This would no doubt decrease the amount of pressure on 250 Ace cha Clan.
“Ah, leader, our regint commander is here.” Right at that mont, the JMCs and the logisticians opened the doors for Ling Lan’s group of cha operators.
In the most crucial mont, they arrived on the front-line right on ti.
Now, the original 200 or so cha operators had another 200 added on top it.
“Regint Commander, you’re right on ti.” Yang Mingzhi instantly regained focus.
Suddenly he realized that he was not sure when, this 23 year-old regint commander beca the pillar of hope that he relied on and trusted with all his heart.
“Alright everyone, don’t be soft.
Let’s take care of this ace cha clan from Hailiya.” Ling Lan’s cold voice rang through the commlink channel of 250 Ace cha Clan and Evil Wind cha Team.
Her orderly and calm deanor made the cha operators who were anxious instantly feel more relaxed.
“Yes Sir!” 250 Ace cha Clan’s cha operators were after all veterans who ca out on top from bloody battle in the past.
Ling Lan’s words instantly rose their willpower, causing them to imdiately shout out in unison.
With the voices of cha operators from 250, Evil Wind also scread out wildly.
Those screams made them shed so of their fears.
Before they know it, the Hailiyan army finally entered at their beam gun’s range.
In unplanned unison, both sides fired their beam guns… Countless chas fell to the ground and exploded due to their beam shields depleting from the overwhelming beam attacks.
Both Hailiya and the Federation’s side had chas fall then explode.
However, because of the advantageous positions held by the Federation’s cha operators, their losses were fewer compared to their opponent in this attack.
He’er Li put down his binoculars, revealing stern expression on his face.
Ni Duola continuously had sweat running down his forehead even after he continuously wiped it off.
“Tell , why has their base already made preparations for our attack?” He’er Li asked softly.
“I don’t know.
Maybe it’s because when their satellites suddenly stopped working, they decided to make sure everything was fine by sending out cha operators to defend against any potential attacks,” Ni Duola replied in a confused tone.
“When did the satellites stop working?
No matter how fast they are, they still wouldn’t be able to have this many cha operators get into position and wait for us.
They probably already began preparations when we left our base.” He’er Li was quite sure that such a large army of cha operators was definitely not possible to be arranged in such a short amount of ti.
‘Is there a spy in their base?’ He’er Li was sowhat dumbfounded by the situation.
However, after seeing the Huaxia Federation suddenly revealed a group of 200 cha operators who just ignored Hailiya’s other cha groups, and instead, they went straight for Hela Ace cha Clan.
This made He’er Li instantly surprised.
cha operators from the Hela Ace cha Clan laughed coldly as they saw that there were 200 or so cha operators rushing towards them without a care for their own lives.
They raised their weapons and began their battle with the first wave of enemies.
It should be said that Hela’s cha operators were arrogant.
To add on to their already arrogant nature, their arrogance was also bolstered by the fact that they had intel on Base 013.
They knew that Base 013 didn’t have any titled ace cha operators stationed in this base.
There were only standard ace cha operators in Base 013.
Thus, when they began their battle, they didn’t think much of 250 Ace cha Clan.
Looking down on 250 Ace cha Clan made them pay in blood in the next second.
One side used all their might while the other side only half-heartedly defended.
After clashing once, Hela had already lost 30 or so chas.
Of course, 250 Ace cha Clan was able to do this because they had 30 or so top-level ace operators returned to their peak.
Even if it was Hela’s elite cha operators, who only used half of their power with so not even using half of their power, they were easily killed in one hit by top-level ace cha operators who gave it their all.
Of course, it was luck and Hela’s ntality that let 250 Ace cha Clan to have such an opportunity.
If Hela’s cha operators were careful at the beginning of the clash, there would only have been five or six that would be killed instantly, not as many as thirty.
“No, that’s not possible!” He’er Li who was watching calmly, stood up in shock.
He had an expression of disbelief.
‘How can a base with no peak-level ace operators take out more than 30 of his cha operators in one clash?’ He’er Li felt his own heart bleeding.
The elite ace cha operators in his cha clan were nurtured by him using a lot of resources.
He couldn’t accept the fact that he had lost so many of his n in an instant.
Ni Duola saw this scene, and his jaw just dropped wide open as he was stunned.
‘Was I hallucinating just now?
Shouldn’t it have been them instantly killing the cha operators from the Huaxia Federation?
Why is it cha operators from Hailiya?
Plus, these cha operators were from Hailiya’s strongest ace cha clan, Hela.’ He’er Li, who was still in disbelief, brought up his binoculars once again.
He locked-on to one cha that instantly killed one of Hela’s chas.
He saw it move and fly with great agility, with cha movents that were natural and well-rounded.
It was as though it wasn’t a cha, but rather a human dancing in the sky.
When it clashed with a cha from Hela, it was clear that Hela’s cha couldn’t follow its opponent’s movents and was less agile by a degree.
After flying around like that for a short while, the small flaw that would appear on Hela’s cha piloting, which was extrely difficult to discover, and it would accurately be used by the opponent.
The opponent would then destroy that Hela’s cha in one hit.
“Those are top-level ace cha operators.” Now, He’er Li finally understood why he had suffered such a huge loss.
Their opponent’s capabilities was stronger than their own cha operators by a large mile.
He continued to watch as a few more cha operators from the Federation killed a few of Hela’s cha operators, and instantly made such a conclusion.
“Ni Duola, didn’t our intel tell us that Base 013 didn’t have a single peak-level ace cha operators?
Why do they have them, and it is not just one of them?” He’er Li was livid and looked at Ni Duola angrily.
It was because of the wrong intel that led to him to lose so many cha operators.
“Senior Colonel He’er Li, I also didn’t know.” Ni Duola took out another handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his ever-wet forehead.
He didn’t know why the originally weak Base 013 would suddenly have so many strong cha operators appearing among their force.
“What are those people doing down at the intelligence bureau?” He’er Li tossed the binoculars with great force and jumped out of his car.
“Senior Colonel He’er Li, where are you going?” Ni Duola saw that He’er Li had suddenly leaving, so he quickly put his head out the window and shouted.
“I’m going up to take down those bastards!” He’er Li’s angry voice rang from afar.
He was not going to allow soone to show him up in front of his face.
Plus, those cha operators had destroyed many chas from his Hela Ace cha Clan.
He would not consider himself a man if he did not take revenge.
“Ugh, be careful!” Ni Duola could only wave his right hand as an okay sign to He’er Li.
He sat back down into the car and picked up the binoculars He’er Li had tossed away.
He looked towards the chas that were fighting with Hela Ace cha Clan, and he couldn’t help but think where those strong cha operators had co from.
“Those who are top-level aces try your best to kill off more enemy chas.
For the others, if you can kill then kill them, if not then keep them busy for as long as you can.” Ling Lan sneaked up on a top-level cha operator who was busy fighting with Li Lanfeng.
Then, she notified all the other mbers who were fighting.
She was afraid her cha operators would get too into the fight.
One impulsive move would cause harm to both sides and could even cause suicide explosions.
She allowed the cha operators from 250 Ace cha Clan into the battlefield with the intention of them reacquiring the blood-pumping feeling of a battle and returning to their glory days.
She didn’t lead them here to give up their lives needlessly.
Although the enemy had more top-level ace cha operators, Ling Lan and 30 to 40 other top-level cha operators hard work made the difference between their numbers shrink significantly.
In other words, as long as they continue to hold on, victory would belong to them and not Hailiya.
What they hoped for was a happy ending, but a battlefield was a cruel and unforgiving place.
As ti went on, there were injuries and death from 250 Ace cha Clan.
One cha after another were shot down, but Evil Wind cha Team had it even worse with almost a quarter of their cha operators being shot down.
After all, they were overall less capable than 250’s cha operators.
However, these cha operators who were born in the battlefield were still strong-willed.
Even if they were shot down, they still held onto their opponent’s cha and brought them down with them.
In this brutal battlefield where countless chas were shot every second and every minute, two chas from the Federation silently crept to the ground level.
They slowly moved towards one of the Federation’s chas that were shot down.
“Look out, Luo Chao!” Their movent had been discovered by one of the Hailiya’s cha flying above them, and a beam of light shot straight towards them.
Li Shiyu didn’t even think for a movent and kicked Luo Chao’s cha away from the shot.
“Boom!” Luo Chao’s original location was instantly struck by a beam of light, causing rubble to be sent flying, which blocked the Hailiya’s cha view.
Right as he was wanted to wait for the dust to settle to regain his vision, he suddenly saw two beams shooting towards him from two different directions.
These two beams instantly locked up the position he could dodge towards.
The special-class cha operator from Hailiya quickly turned on his beam shield, preparing to take the shots head-on.
In theory, the beam shield should be able to take three beam attacks.
“Bang!” One beam instantly depleted his beam shield.
In the next instant, the other beam instantly exploded his cockpit.
The cha began to have black smoke co out of his cockpit as his cha fell towards the ground.
It smashed into the ground, creating a dust cloud.
“Nice shot, Elder Brother Shiyu!” Luo Chao’s voice of admiration rang through the commlink channel.
Li Shiyu looked at the seemingly standard beam gun in his cha hand.
His expression showed a hint of admiration, “I didn’t think that the beam gun Chang Xinyuan had invented would be this powerful.
Its power has nearly tripled.” Beam shields could only endure one attack from this beam gun.
For any cha operators, this beam gun would be considered a nightmare.
“Elder Brother Xinyuan’s invention are always good to use.
Our cha’s beam shields have also been increased in power.
Without at least 8 or 10 shots from the Federation’s standard beam guns, its energy wouldn’t be depleted at all.” Luo Chao also admired Chang Xinyuan.
“If it wasn’t for the fact that Elder Brother Xinyuan hadn’t discovered material that could automatically absorb energy, the beam shields wouldn’t have beco our strongest defensive equipnt.” “He’s always too eccentric,” Li Shiyu smirked.
It was only people like him who could invent things that could bring about awe in people one after the other.
“Why talk about others when you’re like this as well, Elder Brother Shiyu?” Luo Chao smiled.
Li Shiyu actually had the audacity to mock Chang Xinyuan.
In 250 Ace cha Clan, he and Chang Xinyuan were the only crazy inventors, and Li Shiyu’s na was even more feared than Chang Xinyuan… Of course, Luo Chao didn’t understand why was that though as her Elder Brother Shiyu was so nice and caring.
‘Yes, although those dicinal agents are terrifying, they are still for everyone’s benefit aren’t they?’ Luo Chao was this type of person.
If she believed soone to be good, she would not comprehend why people would think otherwise.
Li Shiyu was like this and so was Ling Lan.
In Luo Chao’s mind, although Boss Ling Lan was cold and was ruthless to his friends, he was also doing it for the benefit of everyone.
‘Why is everyone afraid Boss Lan?’ Luo Chao clearly knew that she wasn’t afraid of Ling Lan.
However, every ti she sees Ling Lan, she would beco timid, shy and not know what to say… Every ti after Ling Lan leaves her vicinity, Luo Chao would be saddened at her own behavior.
‘Isn’t she perfectly normal at other tis?
Why must she be like that when Boss is around?
This is so annoying!’ Although the two of them were talking, they didn’t stop moving.
They arrived beside a Federation’s cha that had its chest area completely destroyed.
Li Shiyu checked it and said, “Not bad.
Although the cha cockpit was hit hard, there wasn’t any significant damage.
The cha operator inside should still have signs of life.” Hearing this, Luo Chao piloted her cha and took out the cockpit of the cha on the ground.
She lightly held it in her cha’s hand.
This truly tested Luo Chao’s cha operating abilities.
She couldn’t use too much force because the pressure the cockpit could take was very low.
If she used too much force, it would damage the cockpit even more.
However, she couldn’t she too little strength either, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to hold onto the cockpit, causing the cha to fall out of her hand which might potentially damage it even more.
This level of force must be kept constant while she flew around her cha or did other movents.
In other words, although this type of action seed to be easy, it actually tested the accuracy of a cha operator.
However, Luo Chao’s finger movent speed probably couldn’t reach the level of an ace operator.
Her accuracy however was similar to a standard ace operator’s.
This was why Li Shiyu was not worried in letting Luo Chao be responsible for the recovery of the cockpit.
Just like that, Li Shiyu and Luo Chao didn’t participate in the battle.
Instead, they looked for cha operators from the Federation who could still be saved on the ground.
They knew very well what their responsibilities were.
Killing their enemies was indeed important and ant earning rits, but saving the lives of a comrade was also equally as important.
Especially in the eyes of a doctor, this was even more important than rits that could be gained from a battle.
