"Wang Zheng, look at that punk, he's pretty optimistic, eh? I wonder if they can get past Morgan Locke . What do you think, Nan… Runan?"
Zhang Shan said . Ever since Zhang Runan's appearance had stabilized, everybody had felt a little off . They were still not used to Zhang Runan's sudden change in appearance .
Zhang Runan felt that she was especially unbecoming as well, but her ability X had risen . After she transformed, she would return to her current state . Faced with a beauty though, the usually prattling Zhang Shan was a little thrown off .
"Actually, the Caragal Republic has been improving very rapidly in recent years . Runan could hold her own in a military beauty contest over there now . " Even Achilles could not resist jibing .
"Eyes on the match!" Zhang Runan suddenly turned on them . In comparison, Meng Tian was the cooler-headed of the two . Although they did not speak much, they connected well .
The following battles had surprising results . Between Caragal and Morgan Locke, Morgan Locke stood above them in terms of past results, their ranking about 30 places higher . But under Caragal's leadership, they had destroyed Morgan Locke in a frenzied 4-0 .
The Caragal Republic always prayed before their battles, thanking God for giving them life, sustenance, and strength in battle .
Systematic, solid, all-rounded, united . That was the current Caragal Republic team . Under Max's leadership, the Caragal Republic team had entered the top 16 for the first time in history .
The arena was filled with cheers from Caragal's team and their representative group . On the other side, Morgan Locke was dispirited and helpless . There were no deaths in this battle, only three light injuries, which spoke of the Caragal team's control of the battle .
The Caragal Republic, which had always been treated lightly, had blossomed in this iteration of IG .
Amongst them, Max's performance was laudable . Morgan Locke's captain, Bo Yikao, had planned to turn their disadvantageous situation with the leader face-off in round 2, but had been defeated by Max . This had severely affected the Morgan Locke team's morale, and they had crumbled . The leader fight was a double-edged sword, especially towards internal morale . Win, and your team was filled with spirit . Lose, and it seemed hopeless . Bo Yikao would never dream that he would be beaten by some nameless punk .
The victorious Caragal team saluted the entire field . Their conduct was humble . They neither strutted in victory nor wallowed in defeat . They maintained an even attitude . Such a team spoke of greatness in their country .
The best was yet to come . Manalasuo's team against the Solar System Federation's team .
Max and his team did not celebrate excessively After celebrating briefly, they returned to the spectator platform . They were more than in the mood to enjoy the upcoming battle . Although they had no stake in the battle, they felt a certain kinship with the Solar System Federation team, and were eager to demonstrate solidarity .
The IG was not given to pomp and fanfare . After the judges had finished reading out the competing team members from the display, the competition began .
Both team captains opted to field their fighter first .
At that moment, the great hall quietened . Manalasuo's representative members were especially serene . To them, this was just a normal match, and there was no need to make a fuss out of it . To the Solar System Federation team, however, they were starting to get nervous . This was their first time facing such a formidable opponent .
Wang Zheng's gaze scanned through everyone . The Solar System team did not have as positive a team atmosphere as Caragal, but sometimes a little dissent meant something else – that there were strong, independent minds .
The level of competition here was naturally different . The first battle was no trifling matter . "First battle, Achilles . It's time to show the Milky Way Alliance the Solar System's strength . "
Wang Zheng smiled . Achilles stood up and nodded . "I've waited a long time for this . Finally I can get into action . "
Regardless of whether it was the last battle, everybody could go all out and prove themselves .
Achilles stepped up . On the other side, Vincent looked at Gelun . "It isn't the pretty girl, but it's a pretty boy instead . Go take care of him . "
Gelun stood up, indifferent . "We aren't picky eaters, I'll destroy them all regardless of gender!"
Gelun, Manalasuo's point fighter, sized Achilles up, and directly chose Manalasuo's heavy humanoid type mech, Electric Deathlock . Manalasuo had made their name through creating the weird . Amongst all of the mecha produced by their country, the weirdest would undoubtedly be the Golden Wheel mech . Of course, that was a failed product, while the Electric Deathlock was a success . Besides a tank-mech level energy shield defense, it came equipped with an electrified kusarigama: hooked scythes on a chain which had an attacking range of about 20 meters . The chains could be lengthened or shortened at will . In a group fight, it was nigh unbeatable – capable of both defense and offense . The edge of soft weapons and the weird trajectory of attack gave him an inhuman feel .
Similarly, the Electric Deathlock was a mech that was onerous to master, but in the ace team of Manalasuo, they were definitely equipped to handle it .
In an era where the main fighting force was equipped with ace mecha, the sheer quantity of mecha was no longer the prime determiner of victory . Instead, the emphasis had turned to quality .
In such a practice arena match, it was almost hopeless to go up against the Electric Deathlock .
