1397 Blood Path!

This time, honestly speaking, Zhao Jun’s mecha clan only had about 2000 people. Among the tens of thousands of mecha operators on the battlefield, his mecha clan didn’t seem significant at all.

Hence, when the mecha clan Zhao Jun led disappeared secretly from the waiting zone of the battle royale, no one noticed their disappearance, including Lord Zhen’s subordinates who were supposed to be in the same group as them.

Maybe Lord Zhen’s subordinates just ignored them because they didn’t think Zhao Jun’s 2000 mechas could affect the results of the battle royale.

The Kamoda district consists of a bunch of various environments, simulating various environments an army might encounter which they should get used to, making it a perfect battlefield to train the people of the Lawless Lands. The area consisted of flatland, highlands, deserts, grasslands, a jungle, an endless swamp, a lake thousands of square kilometers wide, and, of course, a continuous stretch of mountains.

With the known fact that fights frequent the area, the citizens of the Lawless Lands never really settle in the area. Only people who were driven into a corner and with no place to go back to would take the risk and live here, hoping for a slim chance of survival.

“Regiment commander, there’s a mecha clan in front of us with more than ten thousand mechas.” The leader of the scout team reported his newest findings.

Zhao Jun asked, “Do you know who they belong to?”

“We saw the symbol on their chest. It’s a lightning bolt. They should be under Lord Zhen.” Soon, the team leader sent the video clip they recorded to Zhao Jun.

“Ignore them. We’ll go around them,” Zhao Jun ordered calmly.

“Yes, regiment commander.” The leader of the scout team ordered his men to change their scouting areas.

After some time, they met another group of people but this time, they met their own people. The mechas they met had a symbol of a seven-colored scorpion on their chest. It was a ten thousand mecha squad under Lord Gen.

Zhao Jun still chose to evade them. He didn’t choose to gather with the main army.

Zhao Jun knew that although the addition of their 2000 mechas would increase the combat potential of that mecha squad, who would be the one in command? If the other person’s commanding ability was on par with Boss, fine, let’s not make things difficult for the other party. If the person’s commanding ability was on par with him, he didn’t mind listening to them. However, from the video clips taken by the scout team, it was obvious that the commander didn’t know what tactics were. His mecha squad was flying above a piece of flatland extremely obviously.

To Zhao Jun, they were basically calling to be targets. Even if they wanted to commit suicide, they shouldn’t do it so obviously.

Of course, Zhao Jun wouldn’t be a busybody and remind the other commander kindly. Maybe his kind reminder might be viewed as a provocation instead. If the situation wasn’t handled carefully, disputes could happen easily. After all, he was the new Lord Gen’s men. The new and old guards already had a grudge, and he didn’t want to magnify it.

Actually, Zhao Jun didn’t understand why Boss didn’t take bold and drastic measures to reorganise the confidants left behind by the previous Lord Gen but instead, left them alone. To prevent them from being discontented, he didn’t interfere with them at all. The new guards only formed a new click by themselves, separating themselves entirely from the old Lord Gen’s click. They were like two parallel lines, no one would meddle with each other.

Based on Boss’s usual brutal and cold-hearted methods, he would definitely create a huge bloodbath in order to be able to control the entire Lord Gen’s territory. Zhao Jun was already eagerly waiting to fight with Boss. But, unexpectedly, Boss’s attitude towards them changed 180 degrees, turning into a gentle lord before them. If he didn’t understand Boss well, he would have suspected if the ruthless version of Boss was an illusion from his nightmare.

But, his puzzled mind was soon resolved when Li Lanfeng came to pass him Boss’s order before they left. Based on this order, Zhao Jun knew that the cold and vicious Boss was still there. He just hid his intentions well, only revealing his fangs when it was the right time.

Zhao Jun appeared rash and impatient, but he was actually an extremely calm and calculating person. Just like what Li Lanfeng said, Zhao Jun was the best at protecting himself. If his interest wasn’t affected, he would choose to be a bystander. You could say that he was cold-blooded. It was this trait that allowed him to have a good relationship with all the brigade leaders (now, they were all regiment commanders) of Lingtian. Even Li Yingjie, who didn’t have a good reputation, had a good relationship with him.

Thus, even though he knew that this mecha clan might suffer heavy losses when they would eventually get ambushed, he still ordered his mecha clan to move away from them as far as possible.

He wasn’t interested in becoming a life saviour, especially when he still had to carry out the important mission Boss gave him. He mustn’t make such a dumb mistake at this critical juncture.

The 2000 mecha operators slowly moved away from the flatlands and entered the jungle zone.

Most wouldn’t choose to enter this zone, as everyone was well aware that a jungle with a lot of trees was the easiest place to lay an ambush. If you entered recklessly, you were looking for death.

However, to Zhao Jun’s mecha clan, the jungle wasn’t really dangerous to them. They only needed to have good mecha piloting skills to maintain their speed as they passed through the forest.

That was because to increase their chances of success, Qi Long sent over the most powerful batch of modified mechas. All the specs of these mechas had reached the fundamental requirements for imperial mechas. Moreover, they were all equipped with the chameleon system.

They were able to get the chameleon system all thanks to Boss. When he was still the commander of Lingtian, he forced the chief of staff, He Xuyang, to give him these systems. It was said after that, He Xuyang ran to find General Ling Xiao because he wanted to retire from his position. But, in the end, he got persuaded to stay by General Ling Xiao. As for how General Ling Xiao persuaded him… this had always been one of the secrets of the 23rd division. Interested parties could search for the answer themselves.

The moment the mecha team entered Kamoda, they activated their chameleon system and maintained a steady speed which suppressed the noises of their mechas.

“Regiment commander, the two mecha clans we met all had around ten thousand people. I feel that in this place, the default for a mecha clan is ten thousand people.” The secondary commander, Pan Dongyu’s voice sounded on Zhao Jun’s team channel.

“Yes. That should be right.” Zhao Jun had the same thought too.

“Once we meet our opponent, it will be a little tough for 2000 of us to fight with 10000 of them.” Pan Dongyu frowned slightly. Although he believed in the abilities of his clan members and felt that they could fight with three opponents at once, fighting with five opponents was still too frightening. Once there was too much pressure on his clan members, they might not be able to perform to their best, and this could cause a huge number of casualties. It was a consequence both he and Zhao Jun couldn’t handle.

“If we don’t even have the courage to do this, why are we here?” Zhao Jun replied calmly.

A part of his mecha clan consisted of his original team members but most of them were experienced mecha operators moved over from the other mecha brigades. Moreover, they were the most powerful batch of mecha operators that moved over. Many of them were veteran mecha operators from the original 250 Mecha Clan. They knew that Boss was in trouble so they voluntarily agreed to be moved. Some were the mecha operators who used to be stationed at Base 013. They managed to survive due to the protection from Boss. Yan Three was a public figure so he couldn’t move here. If not, he might have fought with Zhao Jun for the position of regiment commander.

All in all, Zhao Jun went through a whole series of struggles and fights in order to clear a blood path to come to the Lawless Lands.
