Chapter 489: The Desperate Lantern Horse

Their mission in this team battle is to preserve themselves and avoid any skirmishes; if it were a solo battlefield, it would be nearly impossible, but the team battlefield is large enough that as long as their luck isn't too terrible, there is plenty of room to maneuver.

On the other side, Anlita and the others have already exchanged coordinate positions; their first priority is definitely to catch someone alone—as long as it isn't Li Hao, they will catch one and take them out first, then gather at the Red Flag Base, ensuring they are in an invincible position before doing anything else.

Of course, they must also guard against one thing: if Tianjing Mecha gathers at the Red Flag Base, they will be in a more passive position. Once there is the defense of a base, combined with the attack power of the Armor Leopard, they will truly be in a difficult spot. This is the situation they fear most, so the Red Flag Base must be secured first. Anlita very, very much suspects that Zhou Naiyi's abilities include the precognition of the general location of the Red Flag Base; this is also something they must be careful about based on their pre-match assessment.

But Anlita still overestimated the commanders of Tianjing Mecha; they chose a more cautious method, as there are many variables on the way to the Red Flag Base.

On the Tianjing Mecha side, only one Mobile Suit, the Armor Leopard, is advancing toward the central battlefield, while all other mechas are advancing toward the periphery. On the map, the one closest to the Red Flag Base is Xila, and at this speed, he will be the first to discover the Red Flag Base, though this is not what everyone is most concerned about.

Because at this moment, from the audience's god-view, the retreat routes of Zuo Xiaotang, Zhou Naiyi, and Wuzang are relatively safe—at least they haven't run into anyone—but Ma Long... the Lantern Horse is the closest of Tianjing Mecha to the center, so on his way out, he is going to... bump into Klein.

This...

The Tianjing Mecha supporters in the entire arena are shouting for him to change his route, but Ma Long cannot hear them at all; Ma Long is desperately running along the line of death.

Another relatively dangerous route is Li Hao's Armor Leopard and Davaris's Lieying Apollo; both Mobile Suits are advancing toward the central zone. The Armor Leopard is faster and will sense the other at a certain point in time.

The others are doing fine; Anlita and Li Xiangshan are both converging toward the center. Overall, Anlita still feels that if they have the advantage of the Red Flag Base, combined with all five people together, they have a winning chance against a Li Hao who has been worn down by the boss. There is no reason to be afraid. If they were to lose the team battle simply because they were scared by a reputation and then failed in the tie-breaker, that would be the most infuriating thing.

Because she isn't sure if Li Hao has the ability to influence the draw; who can guarantee he doesn't?

Looking at how certain he is, perhaps he really did win the team battle and is planning to ravage one of them in the tie-breaker. A 20% probability, honestly, is not particularly small, especially at the final moment—who can guarantee anything?

Therefore, in terms of probability, they chose the most secure team battle; five people together is undoubtedly their strongest state.

Three minutes later, Xila's voice sounded in the team channel, "Anlita, Red Flag Base discovered, central zone 56, 68!"

Xila is also very excited. As a Substitute for Sea Dragon, he has almost no presence, existing as a super healer, but in reality, his E-score is as high as 3200 points. As a Mobile Suit pilot, how could he be willing to just lie his way through? He craves battle. He doesn't have much say, but he supports taking a gamble—even if he dies, he wants to die knowing why.

"Very good, stay steady, don't rush, ambush first. We have the initiative. If you find someone alone, you can pursue, but be careful not to fall into an ambush. This bunch from Tianjing Mecha looks stupid, but they are actually very cunning!" Anlita reminded.

"Yes!"

"Received!"

"Relax a little, brothers, trust in our preparation!"

"Good, very good!"

The morale of the Sea Dragon commanders is also rising. Every local change on the battlefield affects their mindset; discovering the Red Flag Base clearly means luck is on their side.

At this moment, the Galaxy Center is noisy—anxious, happy, ecstatic, irritable; it is extremely chaotic because Ma Long is heading straight toward Klein like a complete idiot.

Ten Ma Longs wouldn't be enough to satisfy Klein, but the problem is that Ma Long doesn't know it himself. The key is that their routes are almost colliding.

Three minutes later, Ma Long felt a chill all over; what he feared was coming. Before the match, he had already prayed to all the

Buddhas in the sky and all his relatives, but his radar still showed enemy traces. More importantly, it soon appeared in his field of vision: it was a Phantom Fighter.

It's either Klein or Anlita...

At that moment, the camera immediately cut to Ma Long and Klein. Ma Long's face instantly turned pale, and he was covered in cold sweat. It was a soul-shattering panic: what to do, what to do, what to do???

Klein also saw Ma Long at the same time. Instantly, Klein's already cute smile became even more dreamlike. If it weren't for being forced into a draw by that damn ant, they would have already won. He had taken the blame for that, and now this was the best opportunity to make a contribution!

Isn't this like being handed a pillow when you're sleepy? The Phantom Fighter adjusted its angle and charged toward Ma Long.

There's no running away!

In the broadcast room, Huonan jumped up directly, waving his sandbag-sized fist, and let out a roar like a thunderclap, "Beautiful! Klein, the opportunity to make a name for yourself has arrived!"

Once Ma Long is taken out, the bonus point is broken, and the rest is just to play the team battle well. From the god-view, the Red Flag Base is 100% Sea Dragon's.

Kuangwu Daren also felt a chill in his heart, and sweat broke out directly from his forehead. This is no longer a matter of whether the Puppet God is strong or not; he can't control his teammates, there is no way. The thing Tianjing Mecha feared most has finally happened. Once Ma Long is caught and killed, the plan for the others to avoid battle is completely shattered. At the same time, because they spread out toward the periphery, it is too difficult to gather or go to support Li Hao.

This is purely a matter of luck. Could it be that the Nailong King used up all the luck beforehand?

At this moment, the vast Tianjing Mecha area is as quiet as an operating room; the atmosphere is about the same. Everyone's brain is buzzing, and their eyes are full of despair. With this strength gap, how can they run?

Just at this moment, Ma Long on the battlefield did something that shocked everyone: the Yaoying Athena not only didn't run away, but instead adjusted its direction and charged toward Klein, while the mecha also made hand-waving gestures in the air from time to time.

Klein was a bit confused. He's not running? And he's charging toward me?

How much guts does he have?

Is his brain fried by thunder?

At such a critical moment?

What does that gesture mean? An ordinary person definitely wouldn't be able to see it clearly, but Klein's eyesight is beyond imagination. He can sense that movement. Damn it, is there someone behind him?

Li Hao?!

Instantly, Klein felt a chill in his heart. He cannot fall; he is the key link in the team battle to entangle Li Hao. If he gets caught alone, the match is over!

... Could he be acting?

Perhaps it's Zuo Xiaotang?

Klein's heart is also very conflicted. He wants to kill this guy so much, but he has already made a mistake once. If he makes another, he will be beaten to death by the boss. Especially since there is still no trace of Li Mo among the other teammates. The Armor Leopard must be rushing toward the central zone. With his golden Zone aura, he can sense it once he reaches a certain range, and he can be sure he is not on their side right now...

In an instant, the engines of Klein's Phantom Fighter roared, his golden Zone was maxed out, and he instantly changed his trajectory and charged to the right... but his speed wasn't fast... because he was still observing.

But on the radar, the Yaoying Athena actually followed suit and changed direction to chase after him. Damn it, at this moment Klein is sure Li Mo is nearby. Damn it, he won't fall for it!

In the final critical team battle, he would rather miss an opportunity than make a mistake!

At this time, the Phantom Fighter's speed was maxed out, and in a short time, it opened up the distance. At this moment, the pursuing Ma Long was soaked through, and his brain was buzzing; he was more nervous than on his first night. Seeing the opponent disappear from his field of vision and spotting a depression, the mecha immediately hid and entered a state of complete silence.

Sure enough, not long after, accompanied by the roar in the air, Klein's Phantom Fighter killed its way back. Damn it, taking a step back makes him feel uncomfortable all over; enduring for a moment makes him angrier the more he thinks about it. He still feels he was tricked. If it were Li Mo, there would be no need to hide; he should just come over and finish him. If he were just nearby, Ma Long should be running toward Li Hao, not coming to chase him. He wouldn't have the guts to do that.

Ma

damn it.

The violent roar of the engine and the tyrannical golden Zone made Ma Long, hiding under the giant ferns, tremble. This is already the limit of his intelligence. If he really gets caught, he will accept his fate.

Klein was tricked again. He didn't expect Ma Long to just lie flat on the spot. Klein judged that he must be running in the opposite direction; this is the basic mindset of the weak. After patrolling a circle, he immediately chased in another direction.

However, after chasing for three minutes without finding anything, Klein knew he couldn't find him. In the team channel, Anlita was already a bit angry; she didn't know what Klein was doing, running around in circles.

"I found Ma Long, he got away!" Klein was so angry he almost broke his teeth; he had never been so insulted in his life.

Anlita's pupils also contracted violently; in her heart, she wanted to strangle this idiot. "If he got away, then so be it. Immediately go to the Red Flag Base to gather. Your coordinates have been exposed; it's possible Li Mo is nearby!"

If he got away, he got away. If he gets caught again, he might as well find a rope and hang himself.

Klein was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He ran toward the Red Flag Base, cursing and swearing.

Seeing this scene, the Galaxy Center erupted once again in earth-shattering cheers, and the voice of Ma Long resounded across the sky.

At this moment in Tianjing City, the silent Tianjing was met with a roar and applause like an earthquake, and countless people of Tianjing looked up and bellowed at the sky.

In favorable conditions, the female War God; in difficult straits, the Ancient Martial Arts Wuzang; in adverse conditions, the Sniper God Zuo; in desperate straits, the Nailong King Ma!

"Awesome, Ma Laoshi!"

"The wise Nailong King, holy crap, IQ crushing, kiting them to death!"

"For this wave, I give it ten thousand points!"

"Another day full of showing off, Ma Long is awesome!"

"Ma Laoshi, I want to have a dozen monkeys for you..."
