Tempest of the Stellar War

Chapter 437: Hidden Dragon No.1

Lear’s thoughts were that techniques were no longer useful when going up against the Atlanteans. If they wanted to fight, they had to suppress their opponent by being aggressive. No matter what power or rhythm the Atlanteans had, as long as they could control their own rhythm, maintain their own fighting style, their opponent could only follow them!

This was obviously a strategy of last resort. Lear had a strength, no matter who he was up against, he was always confident.

Meng Ao agreed that even though they had to give it their all, they still had to maintain a calm mind. The most important part was to end the IG in a decent manner. By that, it could be considered a big victory for them.

The tactical analysis conference ended soon. Everyone took the opportunity of these two days to recover. Anyway, if they did not use Aslan’s resources, it would be wasted. The medical equipment here was really good.

Wang Zheng was not one who liked to argue. He did not need to argue with Lear. He could see that the other teammates had no desire to win this battle. Lear was the only one who still wanted to win. Zhang Shan, that guy was already preparing to go home for the holidays!

There was no doubt that even though the IG was not widely publicized to the public, they were already considered heroes in the military and in various top military schools.

But Wang Zheng did not want to stop here. He had promised Aina that he would present a championship to her.

At this moment, at the Aslanian camp, Aina was happy and worried at the same time. She was happy that Wang Zheng had really led the Solar System into the top four. She was worried because their opponent in the semi-finals was the Atlantis team. She had understood from the little prince that this time around, the Atlantis team’s level was the strongest of this generation of young Atlantean Templars.

Even though Hao Lin had said that there was no absolute chance of winning, it felt more like he was just being modest.

At this moment, Aina could do nothing to help. She could only pray for Wang Zheng silently. She did not ask for victory. She asked only for Wang Zheng to be safe and for him to achieve his goals. To be honest, it was already beyond expectations that the Solar System Federation team had made it this far. This was definitely something to be proud of, and Aina wanted to share this with others so badly – that the boy she liked was such a great person. However, the only person she could share this with was Huiyin.

Huiyin’s new song “The Whole Wide World” generated a great response. She was very busy this period of time, if not, based on her character, she would definitely come over and join in on the excitement.

While she was busy with promoting her new single, it did not stop the two from communicating. When she heard that they were going up against Atlantis during the semi-finals, Huiyin already decided that no matter what, she would be there personally to cheer for someone. Besides, Aina needed a companion.

Two days later, the first match of the semi-finals started. The proud Arbiter Republic team was up against the mysterious, resurrected Mayan Republic team.

Speaking of the semi-finals, Arbiter represented the humans against the second civilization originating from Earth, and the Solar System Federation team represented the humans against the first civilization originating from Earth.

So who was the strongest – the third civilisation originating from Earth, the first, or the second?

There were no empty seats in the viewing hall. At this point, no matter who it was, they all wanted to know the reasons. Even the generals of the eliminated teams were there. The members may have left, but they needed to see the results for themselves, as well as gain an understanding of the power level of the strongest.

Arbiter’s strength would force the Mayan team to use all they had.

Olivios was still annoyingly calm, as though it was not the mysterious, invincible Mayans, but a group of vegetables that was standing in front of him

On the other side, Verus entered with the Mayans. It was clear that the Mayans were very relaxed. Their faces were glowing. Using the human phrase, they were full of energy.

“Who do you think has a higher chance of winning? I think it is the Arbiters.”

“I’m thinking it would be the Mayans. In the past, the Mayans kept a low profile. I just heard recently that they just completed some contract. In the past, they were just pretending to be low-key. Now, with an unlimited resurrection ability and coupled with their understanding of energy, Arbiter may not have any chance to show their power.”

Everyone was discussing heatedly. Even though they had been eliminated, they had accepted the reality. After all, the top four for this year were all too terrifying. Every team had used the Heavenly Battle to prove themselves, showing off their abilities. Snow Lee and the others were also geniuses; it was too bad they had met up with opponents that were stronger.

Snow Lee and the others also wanted to know who would be able to get into the finals. They felt that no matter who it was, they would not be surprised.

The Mayan team leader, Verus, was the first to appear on the stage. Even the referee had yet to ask them to start choosing their participants.

“It will be I, the leader of the Mayan Republic team, Verus, to be the fighter for the first round. Who in Arbiter dares to challenge me?”

Verus said calmly. This type of arrogance was rarely seen in the Mayans. All along, they gave people an impression of humility plus being low-key. It was extremely rare that they initiated fights.

And now, the Mayans seemed to be releasing their urge to fight. They had suppressed it for so long.

Olivios laughed and stood up. He did not care about the words of the tactics officer. He was Olivios, and to him, there was no meaning to team score. The only purpose he had for the IG was to challenge the strong, the stronger the better.

No matter whether it was the mech or the pilot.

There was no question that when faced with challenges, Olivios never withdrew. And defeating the Mayan leader in the first round would be a good basis for the later fights.

You could say that whoever who won this round would have won half the competition.

Both team leaders were so confident that they made such a choice. Similarly, both teams’ members had absolute trust in their leaders.

The first round: Olivios vs Verus.

Versus naturally chose the pride of Mayans, the Maya’s Mantis. The mech which could resurrect, the perfect mech, the mech that dominated humans.

What would Olivios choose?

What would he use to fight his opponent?

Arbiter had many famous mecha – the Overlord Mech, the Slayer etc. From the heavy armored to the scouts, you could say that these represented the peak types of mecha in the Milky Way Galaxy.

But what was Olivios best at?

The Hidden Dragon No. 1???

Everyone almost vomited blood. Was this a comedy?

The Hidden Dragon No. 1?

This one was of the earlier mecha produced by Arbiter. It was only one level higher than the primitive mech model Wargod No. 1. At the moment, the Arbiter Army had already replaced all these models. Some Hidden Dragon No. 1s that had not yet reached retirement age were disassembled, and their parts were either sold or sent to the mines at a discounted price.

What was Olivios doing?

Compared to the discussions in the surrounding, the members of the Arbiter team were all calm as though they had been injected with sedatives. They did not seem surprised at all. On the contrary, they showed looks of fear.

Vice team leader Beo shivered. “He is very angry.”

“He could barely hide his intent to kill for these past two days. I wouldn’t even dare to go near him.”

“It’s been a long time since he used the Hidden Dragon No. 1.”

“Let’s pay more attention.”

Discussions were raised among the audience. They all knew that Olivios was awesome, but his opponent’s mech was seemingly unbeatable, at least until now. The humans had yet to obtain further mech information and had no way of targeting it. Under such conditions, he used the Hidden Dragon No. 1.

Olivios was too amazing!

Wang Zheng could not hold back a smile. It turned out that there were people who had the same preferences as him in this world. The Hidden Dragon No. 1 was one of the more famous basic mech models, but no matter how famous it was, a basic model was a basic model. This was not a problem of confidence for this type of mech to be used for the team leader battle at the semi-finals.

Verus’ expression did not look good. Obviously, this cold human was mocking them, mocking the great Mayans.

They still seemed to be dreaming. The Mayans were not weaker than the Arbiters; they may even be stronger.

The Maya’s Mantis and the Hidden Dragon No. 1 made their entrance.

Tyrant Su could not sit still. He was very interested in Olivios. This guy was the same as Boss. This was the rhythm of an explosive battle. These types of people were either extremely strong, or crazy.

Tyrant Su preferred to believe in the former because this person’s aura was similar to Wang Zheng’s, though their styles were different. Wang Zheng still had humanly emotions, but this Olivios seemed more like a battle machine.

The referee shot his gun, signalling the start. The Mayan mech glowed and Verus started to move immediately. The Maya’s Mantis’ laser light cannons in its palms were activated. Not every human liked to use laser rifles. The Mantis could fire lasers out of the palms of its hands, and this gave it more flexibility and were harder to predict.

The Hidden Dragon No. 1 did not retreat. There was no such word in Olivios’ dictionary. He rushed towards the enemy.

The Hidden Dragon No. 1’s steps were rather speedy. Not only that, but Olivios had already used various steps together – the movement overlapping steps, high frequency steps, etc, in a highly effective manner. The lasers might be strong, but they could not land a hit on Olivios.

Verus attacked viciously for a period of time but realized that the distance between the two mecha had reduced from more than 300 meters to 50 meters. Olivios did not activate his energy shield. As long as he could hit him once, even if it was just a graze, Verus could gain the advantage of winning. However, even though his speed was not very fast, he still could not hit him.

Such a situation had never appeared before.

“Machines are dead, humans are alive. Olivios already can predict Verus’ attacking rhythm. As long as he changes the rhythm, he could suppress him completely.” Aurora sighed.

“He is much stronger than us.” Oz nodded. Even though Olivios was taking an advantage of their loss – after all, both of them had paved the road for him, the method Olivios was using in this battle showed that he was on a much higher level than them.

At this point, there was no need to praise anyone. Whether or not anyone could do something could be seen easily.

However, in this situation, only those warriors who had reached a certain level could see. The average person could only see that Verus was at most a poor shot, missing all his shots.

When they were within 50 meters reach of each other, Olivios suddenly sped up. The Hidden Dragon No. 1 rushed towards the Maya’s Mantis, and Verus’ mouth curled into a smirk.

Childish!

The Maya’s Mantis’ lasers were still firing, and their frequency increased, suppressing the Hidden Dragon No. 1. The Maya’s Mantis was not like the human mecha, which used laser guns. Those were troublesome. Once they reached close range battles, they had to put away the laser guns in advance. He could suppress the opponent all he wanted. Even if he could not hit his opponent, he would make it difficult for him.
