Chapter 182: Group Battle
The alarm continued to ring at the headquarters of the Army Corps.
He Hao turned to look at Luo Yan and a few others. "Let’s go into battle too!"
Luo Yan and the others nodded.
Sheng Yitian jumped in surprise. "Are you all going into battle too?"
"I don’t think we need to."
"Besides, you just arrived."
He Hao shouted, "We become Mecha Masters to defeat giant beasts."
"Defeating giant beasts can happen anytime, anywhere."
He walked quickly to the intercom in the lounge, which connected directly to the class monitor of Class Two.
He Hao picked up the intercom and explained their group’s thoughts.
There was silence on the other end of the intercom for a moment.
Finally, there was a response.
"Alright, but you must follow orders."
He Hao replied loudly, "No problem."
Sheng Yitian saw this and did not object anymore.
Very fast.
Luo Yan was already seated in the cockpit of the ‘White Dragon’.
Screens appeared on the command console, displaying vast amounts of flowing information.
"Herd…"
"Groups of thirty or less are called small herds."
"Those between thirty and one hundred are considered medium-sized."
"Anything over one hundred is classified as a large herd."
Luo Yan recalled information about herds.
"Large herds are rare now, except for records during the ‘Beast Calamity’, there have been no sightings of large herds since then."
"In fact, it’s very rare to see a large group of big animals together."
"Giant beasts also fight each other for food and territory. If they didn’t, they would have taken over the world by now."
"Medium-sized animal groups sometimes appear for various reasons, causing many giant beasts to migrate in the same direction."
"Small animal groups are more common, but the chances of running into an underground city are slim."
Luo Yan was busy checking all the instruments before going out.
At that moment.
An order was given at the command center.
"All mechas, when you reach the surface, quickly move to your designated positions."
"This mission will be carried out in sniper mode."
"There are three groups: the front line, the middle guard, and the rear guard."
"The front line uses the ‘Thunder’ sniper rifle to shoot down approaching animal groups from a long distance."
"Any missed enemies will be hunted down by the middle guard and the rear guard."
"Every post must make sure that the animal groups cannot enter the Number Zero alert zone."
"That’s the main idea of this mission!"
At the same time.
On one of the screens in the command console, a window popped up.
It showed the positions assigned to the ‘Battle Academy’ team.
Without any surprises, they were placed in the rear guard group, in a quite far back area.

Canghe Academy.
On the big screen in the main teaching building.
A scene of the surface is being shown.
Next to the screen.
There is a list of mechas participating in the battle this time.
Suddenly.
Donghuang with a samurai bun called out, "Black Thunder? Isn’t that the mecha from Battle Academy?"
"Are they also deploying?"
"Exactly."
A sound came from behind.
Donghuang turned around.
Sheng Yitian with a clear scar on his right hand walked over, confirming Donghuang’s guess as a third-year student who had just returned from the Corps headquarters.
"We happen to be at the headquarters."
"They heard the alarm and requested deployment to Class Two’s leader."
Donghuang slammed his hand on his thigh, "If only we had gone to the headquarters too, now they are getting all the credit!"
Beside them.
Bai Chou, feeling much better, covered his mouth and kept his eyes glued to the screen.
Finally, his gaze settled on the name of a mecha: White Dragon!
"Classmate Luo, be careful," she whispered.
She spoke softly.
Zi Yan, with a round face, chuckled and patted Bai Chou’s head, ruffling her hair.

Different from the area where Guangling City is located.
The surface of Qingyang City is a mountainous area.
Backed by tens of thousands of mountains.
Facing a vast plain.
After the ‘White Dragon’ launch cabin landed, Luo Yan controlled the mecha to walk out and looked around.
Above the command console, a panoramic map appeared with moving arrows indicating Luo Yan’s way to his battle position.
As he walked, Luo Yan looked at the panoramic map.
In the map, there were clear area divisions.
Qingyang City divides the nearby surface into four caution zones, from the third to Number Zero.
The third warning zone is 207 kilometers away from Qingyang City, it is a safe area.
The second warning zone is 155 kilometers away from Qingyang City, it is already a battle zone.
The first warning zone is only 72 kilometers away, it is considered a dangerous area.
The Number Zero warning zone is only 20 kilometers away, once a giant beast enters this area, Qingyang City will be directly threatened.
Now.
The mecha responsible for the front-line battle is heading towards the second warning zone.
As for Luo Yan and his classmates, they are heading to the border between the first warning zone and the Number Zero zone.
Normally.
It is unlikely for giant beasts to reach this area.
Even if a small group of creatures manage to break through the front line, they will be stopped by the midfield group.
Even if there are some intruders entering the first alert zone, they will be quickly dealt with by other defenders.
This time’s attack is more like observing the Qingyang City mecha group’s operation rather than participating in the mission.
The battle started shortly after.
The mecha group located in the second alert zone all use the ‘Thunderstrike’ sniper rifle.
This is a type of rail gun specifically designed for giant beasts, with an extremely long shooting range.
Giant beasts that can directly attack the safe zone from the second alert zone.
It is also because of the flat terrain of Qingyang City that allows for such tactics to be used.
Otherwise.
Even if the distance is met, when the bullet hits an obstacle before hitting the giant beast, its power will greatly decrease.
Inside the cockpit, Luo Yan heard the constant roaring of sniper equipment outside.
Attacking with just one or two sniper rifles may not do much.
But when more than thirty sniper rifles attack at the same time.
The sound was like a summer thunderstorm, continuous and rolling.
At this moment.
On a screen on the command console, there were spectral signals of giant beasts being displayed.
Those signals were blinking and moving.
Some signals were starting to disappear now.
The giant beast that represents the corresponding group was killed by the sniper attack from the mecha group.
Right now.
On the plain in the safe zone.
The rain of bullets fired from the second alert zone, bullets spinning fast, creating colorful light trails as they rub against the air.
Crowded together in a mass.
They shot into the herd rushing towards them.
Hitting those wild-looking creatures with one eye like ‘Tanuki Power’ and the ‘Siox’ with a single horn like a water buffalo.
Creating a burst of blood flowers on the various giant beasts.
Making the giant beasts continuously fall to the ground while running around, some may not have died, but they couldn’t get up again.
So the corresponding light spectrum signal froze in that place.
On the ground.
Fresh blood flowing.
Lots of animal blood painted the ground in various colors and spread ‘blood poison’ into the air.
In the blink of an eye.
Seven or eight giant beasts had already fallen forever.
But some giant beasts started breaking through the safe zone and entered the second area.
The mecha responsible for the vanguard battle kept attacking.
When the first giant beast appeared in Mecha Master’s sight under the rain of bullets.
In the Vanguard Group, half of the mechas abandoned the ‘Thunder’ sniper rifle.
They all took out their best weapons.
Get ready for close combat!
