Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Confrontation (Extra for League Leader Bing Shan Mu Xue) (Third Update)

Major Gene and his team weren’t pursuing with the fiercest intensity but chased while destroying the enemy’s weapons along the way.

At the same time, they controlled their flight speed to avoid being ambushed.

At this moment, Conner was utterly panicked, controlling his Mecha to flee to the Red Valley Mineral Base. He opened the communication channel and reported in a hurry.

"Lord Bink, it’s terrible, we have been defeated, and the enemy is coming for us."

"Why are you so useless, such a waste, you can’t take down a few people from Imperial Court Academy?"

"Lord, they are very strong, with many Third Generation Mecha. And the firepower of their ships is particularly fierce, we were all knocked out by their initial barrage before the fight even started."

"Idiot, return to base!"

Bink cursed and said.

"Okay!"

Conner immediately felt much relieved.

It wasn’t long before Conner escaped to the gate of the base, only to see rows of Iron Head Mecha, escorting over five hundred captives in protective suits, coming out from the base.

An Iron Guard approached Conner and reported to him.

"Lord Conner, you’ve returned."

"Where is Lord Bink? The people from Imperial Court Academy are going to be here any moment."

Conner asked anxiously.

"Lord Bink is preparing for battle; he wants you to use the hostages to restrain the opponents and buy us some time."

The subordinate hastily said.

"I understand."

Conner glanced at the over five hundred hostages, took a deep breath to calm his panicked heart, and said.

Meanwhile, Major Gene, leading Su Ming and the others, powerfully pushed forward.

Seeing this, Conner shouted at Major Gene and the others.

"Stop! If you take one more step, I’ll kill them all!"

Major Gene, seeing the five hundred hostages, showed a look of anger but still issued his orders calmly.

"Stop!"

Su Ming and his team all stopped, cursing over the communication channel as they watched the enemy use so many hostages as shields.

"Damn, they have no shame!"

"That’s just despicable."

"What do we do now? These are all people from our academy!"

...

Su Ming looked at the scene with a frown and said.

"This is a problem, what do we do now?"

"For this kind of situation, I’ve got no good ideas either! Hostages are our vulnerability; if we act forcefully, it would be lucky if even half of these five hundred people survived."

Mia was also very helpless at the pointless acts of this group.

Major Gene looked at the scene before him and warned coldly.

"If they lose a single hair, we’ll definitely tear you to pieces later!"

Conner, hearing Major Gene’s words, swallowed hard but still responded fiercely.

"Who are you trying to scare!"

Seeing the enemy’s resolute attitude, Major Gene’s expression changed several times and then immediately contacted Red Teeth; communication was quickly established.

"Sir, this is Major Gene."

"How is the situation?"

Xiao Ye asked gravely.

"We have defeated the enemy’s ambush troops and have reached the Red Valley Mineral Base."

Major Gene reported.

"What are the losses?"

Principal Fleck’s anxious voice rang out from the communication channel.

"Lord Fleck, there have been nineteen lightly wounded and four critically wounded so far, and two have been sacrificed,"

Major Gene reported the situation relayed by his subordinates.

In fact, most of these injured and sacrificed students were hurt during the first wave of the attack.

Fortunately, the defensive capability of the Iron Guard Mecha was quite strong, and all the students were wearing Second Generation Exoskeleton Armor, otherwise, the casualty count would have been even higher.

But this also showed how superior the equipment provided by the Imperial Court Academy to their students was.

Of course, aside from that, there was another very important reason, which was that the combat strength of this rebel force was really too weak. Compared to the students from the Imperial Court Academy, they were simply not on the same level.

Naturally, all the students of the Imperial Court Academy were one in ten thousand and enjoyed the best educational resources.

"What did you say? Two dead? Oh no!"

Instead of any joy over these outstanding achievements, Principal Fleck said, covering his chest with a look of immense pain.

"Not only that, but the enemies are now using our people as hostages as shields. How should we respond?"

Major Gene asked calmly for instructions.

"What? They took our people hostage? Those sons of bitches! Major Gene, don’t you act rashly and hurt the hostages. They are from our school’s mineral department!"

Principal Fleck’s face turned green upon hearing this.

He was on the verge of cursing out loud; a super simple resource recovery mission had evolved into this mess.

"I understand, but what should we do now?"

Major Gene asked calmly.

"Do not engage, begin negotiations first. Try to ensure the hostages’ safety to the greatest extent possible. If we act rashly and cause hostage casualties, we cannot escape the blame."

Xiao Ye gave orders calmly.

His words were actually very clear: if they caused the death of hostages, the Federation and the Imperial Court Academy would hold everyone responsible after the fact.

"Understood!"

After responding to Xiao Ye, Major Gene then spoke to Conner.

"Conner, you’re already in a hopeless situation. If you hand over the hostages safely to us, we might spare your lives!"

"Go to hell with that nonsense. Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? If we give you the hostages, will we still have our lives?"

Conner cursed fiercely.

"So arrogant, see if we don’t chop you into pieces."

Some of the more hot-tempered students immediately cursed angrily.

"You dare, see if I don’t kill a few of them right before your eyes?"

Conner had already given up everything and raised his mechanical left arm toward the hostages.

"Stop! Nobody move."

Seeing that the situation was spiraling out of control, Major Gene immediately yelled at the many students.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the students held back, Conner too lowered his mechanical left arm.

His aim was to buy time until Lord Bink was ready, not to provoke the enemy.

Thus, the two sides were at a standoff.

However, before the standoff went on for long, suddenly Su Ming and the others saw numerous grey dots appear on the scanning radar.

Tang Xuan and other teachers spoke with a changed expression.

"Not good, the troops from Abayk Kingdom are rushing over. If they hit us from both sides, then we will be at a disadvantage."

"Everyone stay calm, the Abayk Kingdom probably didn’t come for us."

Major Gene spoke up.

"That’s right, if the Abayk Kingdom really wanted to attack us, we wouldn’t have been able to leave the interstellar airport at all. And as long as we die here, no matter the excuse, the Federation and the Imperial Court Academy will not let Abayk Kingdom off, this much the King clearly understands! Even if he has turned to the Imperial Army, he would not do such a foolish thing."

Mia analyzed rationally.

Su Ming listened to their discussion and agreed with their analysis.

Unless the Abayk Kingdom was seeking death, they wouldn’t possibly do such a thing.
