The shrill alarm broke the brief silence, like a basin of cold water poured over everyone's heads, pulling them back to reality from the joy of victory.
On the large screen in the command center, a bright red alarm message flashed continuously: "New simulated enemy detected, energy fluctuations are abnormally strong..."
"What's going on? It just ended and it's happening again?!" Some people couldn't help but complain.
After a brief silence, the command center exploded.
Ling Feng's face was gloomy, and he sarcastically said, "I told you these idiots are unreliable! They just won a small battle and got carried away. Now the enemy is here again. Let's see what you can do!"
Ada wasn't willing to be outdone and retorted, "Ling Feng, stop your sarcastic remarks! If it weren't for Ye Ling and Duan Yu turning the tide just now, we'd still be being pinned to the ground by Kane! Don't you think it's hindsight to say this now?"
"You..." Ling Feng's eyes were wide open and he was about to start quarreling again.
Ye Ling rubbed his temples and felt overwhelmed.
Why did these two start again?
Can't you just be quiet for a while?
"Shut up!" she shouted, shocking the two of them.
"What are you arguing about? Is this the time to argue? The most urgent thing is to find a way to solve the problem!"
On the screen, the simulated enemy mecha troops appeared like ghosts, their weapons flashing with strange light, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not easy to deal with.
"Report! Enemy weapons are suspected to have energy jamming effects, and our communication system is being disrupted!"
Bad news came one after another, and the atmosphere in the command center became more solemn.
The mecha troops and cultivators were all a little panicked and didn't know how to deal with this sudden change.
"Their tactics... are very strange." Duan Yu stared at the screen with a frown.
These enemies' actions were disorganized, yet we were able to accurately strike their weak points, as if we could predict their actions.
Ye Ling also discovered this. The enemy's attack method reminded her of an ancient tactic...
"Wait," Ye Ling suddenly said, "I seem to know what they are going to do..." Her eyes were fixed on the screen, and a bold guess gradually took shape in her mind.
"They are..."
Ye Ling took a deep breath, pointed at the scattered but highly targeted enemy attack points on the screen and said, "They are playing like Tian Ji in the horse race!"
"Tian Ji's Horse Race?" The younger generation of mecha warriors and cultivators in the command center looked at each other in bewilderment. The phrase was a bit retro, but it seemed...
Inexplicably very appropriate.
The enemy was clearly using their inferior forces to tie down their main force, while their superior forces were going around to attack their weak links.
Ada and Ling Feng from the older generation were completely confused. What was going on?
Ye Ling didn't have time to explain the ancient allusions and said directly: "They are using new stealth technology and energy interference to disrupt our judgment, which is actually to disperse our forces. Their real goal is to defeat us one by one!"
She quickly circled several key points on the screen and said firmly, "We must concentrate our superior forces to eliminate their main force first, and then defeat them one by one!"
This plan sounds simple and crude, but it hits the nail on the head.
Some young mecha warriors and cultivators immediately agreed. They had long been fed up with Ling Feng and Ada's endless quarrels and now just wanted to solve the problem quickly.
Seeing that someone supported Ye Ling, Ling Feng and Ada temporarily stopped arguing. After all, now was not the time for internal strife.
Although Ada still had some doubts about Ye Ling's plan, she had no better idea at the moment, so she had to nod in agreement.
The battle started again.
As Ye Ling expected, the enemy concentrated their superior forces to attack the flank of the mecha unit.
The defensive formation of the mecha troops was instantly torn open, and several mechas were hit by the enemy's energy weapons, emitting thick smoke.
"Request support! Request support!" An anxious call came from the communication channel of the mecha unit.
Although the cultivators wanted to provide support immediately, their actions were slightly slow due to the previous conflicts with the mecha troops and Ling Feng's previous orders.
"Damn it!" Ye Ling cursed inwardly. The situation was worse than she had expected.
She drove her mecha towards the most dangerous area, trying to gain her footing.
Duan Yu also followed closely behind in his exclusive mecha.
His mecha performance was better than Ye Ling's, and he quickly rushed to the front line, blocking wave after wave of enemy attacks.
"Ye Ling, be careful!" Duan Yu's voice sounded in the communication channel, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.
He saw several enemy mechas coming from the side, aiming directly at Ye Ling...
Duan Yu's mecha appeared on Ye Ling's flank in an instant like a silver lightning. The energy blades in his hands drew dazzling arcs, forcing back the enemy mechas that were besieging Ye Ling.
"Don't be dazed, concentrate on fighting the enemy!" Duan Yu's tone was still cold, but Ye Ling felt warm in her heart.
Although this guy is tough in words, he is still very reliable at critical moments.
Ye Ling quickly adjusted the mecha's defense system. The core of the ancient mecha emitted a buzzing resonance, and a layer of light golden energy shield instantly opened, blocking all the enemy's attacks.
"Want to kill me in an instant? Don't you see who I am?" Ye Ling curled the corners of her mouth and controlled the mecha to launch a counterattack. Several high-energy light beams accurately hit the weaknesses of the enemy mechas. Several enemy mechas instantly emitted black smoke and were on the verge of collapse.
"Beautiful!" Cheers broke out in the communication channel of the mecha troops. The combination of Ye Ling and Duan Yu greatly boosted morale. The mecha warriors who were originally a little panicked also began to organize a counterattack, and the battle situation gradually stabilized.
"Hmph, it's just good luck." Ling Feng snorted coldly, his tone still full of disdain, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He didn't expect that Ye Ling, whom he regarded as a waste, could burst out with such powerful fighting power.
Although Ada didn't say it, she had a new respect for Ye Ling in her heart.
This young mecha warrior is not only powerful, but also able to remain calm at critical moments. He is indeed a rare talent.
However, the good times did not last long.
The enemy's attacks became more and more fierce. The new stealth technology and energy interference almost paralyzed the radar and communication systems of the mecha troops.
What's worse is that the conflict between the mecha troops and the cultivators has not been resolved, and there are still big problems with the cooperation between the two sides.
Ye Ling frowned. This wouldn't work. She had to come up with a better solution as soon as possible.
Suddenly, she noticed that the enemy mecha's attack pattern had changed. Instead of scattering their attacks, they began to concentrate their firepower...
"Duan Yu, be careful! They seem..." Before Ye Ling finished her words, she saw that all the enemy mechas were pointing their guns in one direction - the energy source of the cultivator.
"Not good!" Duan Yu's face changed drastically, "Their target is..."
