Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Panicking (Extra for Alliance Leader Dreaming of Flowing Fire) (Third Update)

On the plain ahead, a dense mass of Flame Knights and Gun Knights was gathering, and two very conspicuous Fourth Generation Mecha·Shadow Slayers could also be seen.

Su Ming swallowed hard. He estimated that there were nearly fifteen hundred mecha on the vast plain, meaning all the surviving students of Amonks College were assembled here.

At that moment, Ai Yin maneuvered her mecha forward and adjusted the communication channel to report solemnly,

"Chief Timi, Chief Derken, we have completed the reconnaissance mission and have not found any students from Imperial Court Academy nearby."

Inside the cockpit of the Fourth Generation Mecha·Shadow Slayer, a pink-haired girl wearing a NOCY super neural helmet, whose face was unclear, spoke up.

"Who is the mecha following you guys?"

"Chief Timi, that’s a student from Bikong Academy, Cao Ran. He bumped into us alone and then just kept following us. Chief Timi, how should we handle this person?"

Ai Yin asked respectfully.

Timi recalled the participating list from Bikong Academy and then responded,

"Cao Ran, just a rookie from the second year of Bikong Academy. Don’t bother with him; if he likes following, let him follow."

"Yes!"

Ai Yin responded respectfully.

Timi simply didn’t care; not to mention it was just a second-year rookie, not even a master would be taken seriously. With so many mechas here, they couldn’t cause any trouble.

However, there was a secret cooperation agreement between Amonks College and Bikong Academy, so she couldn’t possibly kill an ally. Therefore, the best approach was to ignore everything.

"We shouldn’t delay any further; let’s hurry up and get moving. Our breakout has been delayed too long already."

Chief Derken spoke in a cold voice on the communication channel.

"Move out!"

Timi didn’t waste a word and gave the order cleanly.

Thus, the mighty troop advanced toward the Tyboken Base City Center Area.

Su Ming, watching this scene, decisively followed, shamelessly sticking to the back of Ai Yin’s team.

At that moment, within Ai Yin’s team, Lan Yue scornfully said to Su Ming,

"I mean, how thick can your face be? You’ve followed us such a long way already, and you’re still following!"

"Exactly."

The other girls chimed in as well.

Su Ming sported a bitter smile but quickly composed himself and began to play the victim,

"Listen, sisters, I had no choice. When my teammates rushed in, some died, some scattered; I was left alone with no other way out but to tag along with you to earn some points."

"It does sound quite pitiful. Were your teammates that unreliable?" Lan Yue became interested.

"It’s not really their fault; it’s just that the creature wave from Chilami was too fierce. But your Amonks College is really strong; so many of you rushed in. Even stronger than Imperial Court Academy—I haven’t seen a student from Imperial Court Academy so far. They probably didn’t even make it to the planet. You guys are sure to be the champions this time."

Su Ming complemented disingenuously.

Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue, upon hearing what Su Ming said, both showed expressions of disbelief and looked up at Su Ming in astonishment.

"Hehe, such a sweet-talker!"

Lan Yue and the other girls immediately laughed.

A few boys in the team also spoke cheerfully,

"This guy really knows how to talk. Stick with us! We’ll show you our academy’s strength by scoring some points for you."

"Thank you, big brothers."

Su Ming replied humbly and then switched off the communication.

At this moment, An Ruoxue revealed a playful smile and asked Lin Chuyu,

"Chuyu, didn’t you say Su Ming was very honest? Why do I feel like he’s really good at deceiving and flattering people?"

Lin Chuyu listened to An Ruoxue’s words and didn’t know how to respond.

"Please, this was just a makeshift plan. Everything I said went against my conscience! I really had no choice. If I didn’t say that, how could I follow their team?"

Su Ming also felt utterly helpless as he explained to the two of them.

"Hehe, got it!"

Seeing Su Ming’s despondent demeanor, An Ruoxue couldn’t help but laugh.

Lin Chuyu held back for a long time before finally saying,

"You’ve had it hard."

Su Ming sighed and controlled his mecha to follow them.

...

Inside the Peak of the Stars Arena.

The holographic image was playing, showing Su Ming in his Iron Guard negotiating with Ai Yin and others.

At this moment, the audience in the arena, especially those supporting Imperial Court Academy, were annoyed and said,

"Damn, those from Bikong Academy get away with it, and if you two academies aren’t having an affair, I’ll write my name backward."

"You’re being unreasonable with that statement. Didn’t you see the students from Amonks College also aiming their cannons at him?"

The audience from Rain Capital also fervently defended.

However, as the virtual image played, the spectators from both Rain Capital and Sky Dome City became unsettled.

They saw Su Ming falsely reporting his identity and following the large troops from Amonks College, immediately causing an uproar among them.

"Ah, he’s fake, he’s a spy!"

"Don’t let him follow!"

"How can you be so stupid!"

...

Of course, the most speechless were not the spectators present but Cao Ran, a student from Bikong Academy who had just been eliminated.

Hearing Su Ming impersonating himself, he immediately burst out cursing.

"Damn, ****!"

Soon after, everyone saw Ai Yin report the situation to Timi, who casually remarked that the sophomore rookie wasn’t to be bothered with.

This made Cao Ran clutch his chest in immense pain and say,

"Who the hell did I offend..."

The host from Shiva, seeing this scene, felt very awkward but could only humorously say,

"It seems this student not only excels in strength but also has a talent for acting. Now, let’s switch our focus back to the main force of Imperial Court Academy."

Tyboken Base City Center Area.

Begfin killed an Elite Level III·Chilami with a single sword strike and led his troops powerfully forward.

In front of them lay a massive silver metal base of irregular shape. Its thick metal gates were violently destroyed; metal fragments scattered everywhere along with wreckages of mechas around.

Irelia, piloting a raider, came from behind, walked straight to the entrance of the base and looked at the carved emblem on the side of the door.

"Terra Royal Base."

She looked at the experimental base, her eyes flashing with an unusual gleam.

"We’ve finally made it here. If nothing goes wrong, the members of the Royal Family we’re here to rescue should all be below."

Begfin controlled his mecha and came over, taking a deep breath and saying,

It had been a costly journey; they had lost quite a few people. Although they hadn’t encountered particularly powerful Chilamis, the sheer number of them congregated within this city was staggering.
