Chapter 387: Battle Objectives
Due to too many people participating in the battle of Changping City this time, it was not possible to hold a battle meeting at the Legion Headquarters.
They could only use an online format.
When Luo Yan arrived at the camp battle room, the Mecha Masters participating in this battle arrived one after another.
“Classmate Luo, over here.”
Third-year student Su Jiu waved enthusiastically. She was dressed very simply and refreshingly today, with a college-style outfit that stood out in the battle room atmosphere.
But from the collar of her top, you could see a pilot suit. It seems like she had worn the pilot suit in advance so that she wouldn’t have to change clothes when needed for battle, she could just take off her jacket and get into the mecha.
As Luo Yan approached Su Jiu, she arranged for him to sit next to He Hao.
He Hao with a tough guy image sat up straight, with hands crossed and eyes focused, looking as steady as a rock.
After Luo Yan sat down, He Hao whispered, “This morning, Tiangang Dragon Cavalry sent two riders. They must be the main force in this battle.”
“Although it’s a bit hard to accept, the truth is, we are still far behind the Dragon Cavalry.”
“So once the battle starts, let’s just follow orders and not do unnecessary things.”
“Especially someone here, don’t think that confronting the Overlord Giant Beast in the past and making amends will make you ready to face it now.”
Next to them, Su Jiu closed her eyes and said, “You might jinx yourself with talk like that.”
“You’re clearly worried about Classmate Luo being reckless and want to sound like a villain.”
“With that attitude, you wouldn’t survive more than three episodes on TV.”
He Hao clicked his tongue and looked up at the ceiling, as if something up there caught his attention.
In no time, Bai Chou and Liu Ruohan arrived, and the five reserves of Battle Academy sat together.
When Yan Wenbo arrived, the lights in the war room dimmed, and then a screen lit up.
A refined middle-aged man appeared on the screen, he smiled slightly at the camera and said, “Good morning, Mecha Masters.”
“I am Jiang Wuyang, Chief of General Staff of the Changping Army Group.”
“Firstly, let me express gratitude on behalf of the Changping Citymecha Corps and the 560,000 residents of the city for your presence.”
After a pause, Jiang Wuyang said, “Now, let’s get down to business.”
“As you all may know, the Overlord Giant Beast that passes through our Changping City is the Kun Fish. After days of investigation, we have gathered some basic intelligence, which I will now share with you.”
“Kun Fish, Overlord Giant Beast, Scale Worm.”
“It has a body length of about 224 kilometers, with the widest part of its body being around 160 kilometers.”
“Although not as exaggerated as the legends say, in the giant beast world, creatures of this size are considered to be oversized like dragons.”
Even though he was prepared mentally, when Luo Yan heard this number, his breathing involuntarily became heavier.
How does a giant beast over 200 kilometers long float in the sky?
Jiang Wuyang’s next words unraveled the doubts in Luo Yan’s heart.
“We now know that the Kun Fish has tens of thousands of anti-gravity organs on its body, which allow it to float in the sky.”
“When this giant beast is in high altitude, it won’t have a significant impact on the ground.”
“But when it gets close to the ground, the anti-gravity field released by the Kun Fish to maintain floating will affect things on the ground.”
“Once the Kun Fish approaches the underground city, even without entering it, we will experience weightlessness in Changping City.”
“At that time, it may lead to many unforeseen disasters.”
“Not to mention, Kun Fish is swarming with countless tiny bugs and large scary creatures.”
“Even though it hasn’t arrived yet, parasites and big creatures are already causing trouble for us.”
“Therefore, the goal of this mission.”
“Is to defeat the powerful giant beast, Overlord Giant Beast, Kun Fish!”
“If we can’t defeat it, at least we need to change its path.”
There was a moment of silence in the war room.
Defeating the Overlord Giant Beast is something the skilled pilots of the Guangling Legion are familiar with.
Not long ago, the Guangling Legion defeated an Overlord Giant Beast in Misty Canyon.
Among the known Overlord Giant Beasts, Huan is not considered very powerful, not even among the top twenty.
Unlike Kun Fish, this Overlord Giant Beast has been a mystery in terms of strength due to limited human intelligence about it.
Nevertheless, this kind of exceptionally large giant beast serves as a formidable creature on its own, definitely not someone that Huan, a bully, can easily handle.
Kun Fish is definitely stronger than Huan.
Currently, even with two Tiangang Dragon Cavalry members and reinforcements from multiple cities, killing Kun Fish still seems beyond everyone’s imagination.
Or rather, too scary to even think about.
Changping City is aware of this, which is why they haven’t revealed all their plans yet, resorting to the secondary objective of ‘altering the course of advancement’.
Jiang Wuyang continued speaking on the screen, “This operation is also divided into several parts.”
“They are…”

After leaving the war room, it was already noon, and Luo Yan felt the call of food. But today he didn’t have to eat the not-so-tasty military food.
In order for everyone to be at their best in the upcoming battle, the Changping Army Group specially arranged a rich lunch.
Due to limited manpower, the food and chefs were sent from the corps, so a few Mecha Masters from the Changping Army Group temporarily acted as drivers.
As Luo Yan walked towards the dining hall, he saw a familiar face.
Changping Army Group Mecha Master, Meng Fanxi.
In addition to him, there were Ma Shuo and Little Rong.
The latter also saw him, Ma Shuo immediately walked up, waving enthusiastically, “Hey, isn’t this the kid from the Guangling Legion?”
“Did you come to help too?”
Although Ma Shuo almost hit someone while driving drunk in Misty Canyon before, he sincerely apologized afterwards. He handled things relatively well, so Luo Yan didn’t feel any resentment towards this man.
He nodded at the words and then coldly walked into the restaurant.
Ma Shuo chuckled awkwardly, then approached Yan Wenbo to socialize.
Meng Fanxi walked over and as Luo Yan passed by, he suddenly said, “I took down a giant beast, a slide fish, yesterday.”
“I took it down all by myself.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and paused.
Luo Yan had already disappeared without a trace.
At that moment, he heard someone clearing their throat.
“Idiot!”
Meng Fanxi suddenly turned around and saw a younger boy than himself but with sharp features and a strong build.
“I took down an upper rank yesterday.”
“Slippery fish?”
“What’s so impressive about bragging on a lower rank giant beast.”
After saying that, he went inside.
A girl dressed like a student followed him, stood on her tiptoes, and tapped the boy’s head gently, “You have the nerve to talk about others, but didn’t you show off when you broke through your level with Classmate Luo?”
The boy touched his head, angry, “So what!”
“How is it not the same?”
The two people, who seemed to be getting along well, walked into the restaurant while arguing. Meng Fanxi, however, stood frozen like a statue.
He is of a higher rank!
That Mr. Luo actually defeated someone of a higher rank?
