The mech choice of both parties was finalized. Everyone was stunned. What was wrong with Saruman Snake? Why was Achilles in the heavy mech position?
Had he even had experience with a heavy mecha? Generally, the physical strength of the pilot and physical attractiveness of the pilot was inversely proportional. (Boxno vel. co m)
As for Wang Zheng the leading man, he had outrageously chosen the Heavenly Dragon Spear, one that he had never previously had battle experience with... This was the mech that Achilles was good at.
What the heck was going on?
Everyone knew that Wang Zheng's best mecha were Wind God, Hercules, the Phantom King, Storm Swordsman, but he just had to choose the Heavenly Dragon Spear?
There were no major changes in the lineup, but at Zhang Shan and Snow Li's current positions, they could be completed annihilated. Vincent's expertise with the Golden Wheel still posed a deterrence to the opposing Briston's Slayer. Honestly speaking, the determining factor lay on Wang Zheng and Olivios' battle, the rest of the players only played supporting roles.
Olivios choice shocked countless other Arbiters, he had chosen the Heaven's Executioner.
Heaven's Executioner was undoubtedly the masterpiece of Arbiter mecha, possessing horrible resilience and lasting combat power. Similarly, the requirements for the pilot were also very high. In Arbiter, general warriors were not allowed to use Heaven's Executioner, as it was a mecha that signaled the ultimate level of mastery and combat determination.
Obviously, Olivios had the ability to use this mech, but was this choice necessary when looking at his opponents?
The entire Asura Battle Team looked extremely serious and seemed to have understood Olivios' choice. Olivios was a man of few words with a rough demeanor and calm composure, it was unlikely that he had given his teammates much explanation. He always proved himself using his actions, and like other Arbiters, his teammates never questioned their leaders.
With the appearance of Heaven's Executioner, one could guess the Asura Battle Team's intentions.
To execute anyone who stood in their path!
Although Heaven's Executioner was a warrior-type mech, it was slightly larger than the average warrior mech. The scariest part was the uniquely shaped Misfortune Axe built into it, also known as the doom of the battlefield.
In the Milky Way Alliance, mecha equipment was the most profitable, and this naturally consisted of Sirius Star's alloy blade, and Heaven's Executioner's Misfortune Axe was also one of them.
Throughout the history of modern warfare, in special circumstances where Heaven's Executioner appeared, it always posed as a boundless nightmare for the opponents. Sometimes, Heaven's Executioner could even rupture a mecha with one strike, no matter the amount of defense and shields. This was a demonic mech.
Ka Tao was so excited that he could barely control his feelings. Elaborating on the function and meaning of the Heaven's Executioner."In this battle, Olivios wants to affirm his kingly status, this is the legendary Heaven's Executioner which would only appear on the battlefield. I really want to know how far Olivios can stretch the potential of this mech."
In the history of man, there were many mecha that could not satisfy the needs of the pilots, while other mecha surpassed the limits of man. This was exactly what Heaven's Executioner signified, the highest level of Arbiter.
This was a gigantic killing machine.
"Saruman Snake might be living a dog's life, to be unfortunate to this extent... Olivios is planning a death sentence!"
"Didn't you hear the news... the last battle is definitely going to be torturous."
"If I were the Saruman Snake Battle Team, I will just accept defeat already."
"I feel like all Arbiters are bloodthirsty monsters.. such a nightmare to meet such opponents."
"Don't say that; I think Saruman Snake Battle Team seems to be going strong.. everyone looks quite stable."
"No way... look at all of their positions. No matter how good they are, if they win, I will eat this entire table!"
Everyone was anxiously sitting on the edge of their seats, anticipating to see the highest standards of Arbiter. Of course, they secretly hope that Saruman Snake could prolong their defeat, and let them appreciate the show longer.
At Ares College, the Alma Mater of both Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan, there was dead silence after listening to Ka Tao's narrations. Yao Ailun collated professional mech introductions from both parties, and it seems as though, Saruman Snake Battle Team's mech and Asura Battle Team's mech's disparity was like a primary school compared to a university. Especially Heaven's Executioner, the video battles showed immediate defeat after one strike with an axe, can such a pilot still be considered human?
We must understand that this level of arrogance did not conform to modern warfare concepts and posed too much of a burden on the human body. Could it be a robot sitting in there?
Amongst the audience, the other six Battle Teams were all present. This battle would undoubtedly affect overall rankings, especially for Aslan, who would instead take the opposing side and hope for Saruman Snake Battle Team's victory. This would definitely help dilute future pressure.
Aina and the others sat in the first row, waiting for the start of the match. Glancing at the nervous yet excited Huiyin who was sat beside her, Aina really did not understand where her confidence fueled from.. despite having two consecutive wins, these figures didn't mean that both Battle Teams were on par in terms of strength.
Wang Zheng... it seems the Huiyin fancies this person. As her sister, she had to keep a close eye.
All the pilots entered the preparation stage, Zhang Shan took a deep breath and closed his eyes, but his hands were still shaking.
"F*CK, Zhang Shan, are you still a f*cking man? This is just like any other small battles, " he said and then gave himself two tight slaps across the face. Calm down!
The whole world could look down on you, but you cannot look down on yourself. Believe in yourself, believe in Wang Zheng, that b*stard said you can do it!
Achilles in the heavy mech position seemed contrary to common sense, but it was at his own request. The all-roundedness of Achilles was unmatched by Takumi. Of course, Takumi was not too bad himself, but Saruman Snake needed someone strong, a position that only Achilles could live up to.
As for the attacker position, the contest was between the Golden Wheel Battle King and the Slayer. In the end, in the confrontation between a Manalasuo person and an Arbiter, who would emerge above the other?
At this time, the Manalasuo people were all on Saruman Snake Battle Team's side. Within the Battle Team stood one of their own.
Similarly, because of Snow Li, the Hail Cloud Alliance also rooted for Saruman Snake, even the Icefire Battle Team.
The strong always stood isolated, especially since the Arbiters were too powerful and too arrogant. People may not recognize it, but they were secretly hoping for a miracle.
Lear's expression was extremely calm, what was going to happen would happen. He was very much looking for the expression of defeat on Wang Zheng's face, how beautiful would that look?
Luo Fei... This guy... was actually playing games, a dating sim... this idiot.
While everyone was digesting this complex scene before them, Wang Zheng and Olivios revealed a faint smile at the same time.
They had been waiting for a long time for this battle.
Boom...
The mech appeared and the battle was starting.
"A highly anticipated battle, the members of Asura and Saruman Snake have entered the battlefield. Both sides are adjusting themselves moving forward. Looking at circumstances, they have already chosen their battle line."
Ka Tao roared. What a difficult position this introverted guy was in... The further the battles progressed, the more he seemed to be growling.
The first Battle Team to approach the battle line seemed to be the party with greater confidence and greater initiation.
For Saruman Snake, they seem not too bothered whether this battle was held at the line or in the group battle format. All ten mecha headed towards the center of the arena. As per pre-battle settings, this was going to be a one-to-one battle format, played to seek advantage.
To be honest, only Wang Zheng and Achilles remained unperturbed; the rest seemed to be under immense pressure. Saruman Snake Battle Team looked as stable as a mountain, acquiring confidence through the previous two rounds, but this little confidence was not even worthy of mention in front of the Asura Battle Team.
Wang Zheng and Achilles' trust in the Battle Team had spread to the others. Although he was in the substitute seat, Takumi was immersed in the Battle Team's energy too. This was a group battle, someone had to sacrifice, with the initial premise that Achilles must have the competence to be recognized by himself.
