Chapter 1206: Battle of the Vanguards

"It's starting. It's starting. Man! Why am I so nervous?" Right now, everyone at Ares College was waiting for the start of the battle. Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu were definitely the commentators for this battle.

The match also used holographic images. For Ares College, this day was really important. Two people in the Saruman Snake team were from Ares College, even though they are representing Elite Academy X this time. It was enough as long as Ares College's name was mentioned when they were introduced.

The most important thing was that Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan had become the mental pillars of Ares College. Of course, the difference in the average strength of the school could not be caught up at once, but the power of the exemplar was endless. Everyone was no longer willing to lag behind and were unwilling to be obscured. In the recent years, Ares College had been improving quietly. Everyone regarded Wang Zheng as an idol. Even Wang Zheng himself did not know what kind of change and confidence he would bring to this century-old school with his every improvement.

Before the battle, everyone in the college had done a thorough analysis of the opponents. In previous tactical classes, most were just going through the motions. However, this was different. Everyone was racking their brains to look for the weaknesses of the opponents. But it was of little use. The Soulless battle team was simply too powerful. From Aragorn's performance, it seemed that it would be a close battle with Wang Zheng. Of course, everyone thought that as the Greatest King, Wang Zheng could beat Aragorn. But it would be ridiculous to think that there would be no damage done.

So, for the Saruman Snake to win, one of the members of the team would have to step up and force the battle into a team battle. This would give Wang Zheng a chance to take out his opponents in one strike. As for the battles that were to come, there was no need to consider them now.

The entire academy was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. For everyone, as long as they were already in the semi-finals, they were already winners. As for the battles that were to come, they need not pursue them so obsessively. The differences in strengths were obvious. But this was still a battle that they could try to win.

On the other hand, at Aslan's home ground, Si Jiali and Jondi Lilick were talking and laughing. As the president of the Royal College student council, her ability to muster the atmosphere was never doubted. Through the creation of excitement of small things, everyone was looking forward to the start of this battle.

Below the stage, Lin Feng and the rest were already in the arena. The entire team of both the Sword Shield Rose battle team and the Dynasty battle team had taken the best seats in the house. Even the important political figures did not receive such treatment. This was a respect and honour given to them because they were the players in the semi-finals.

The Dynasty battle team was really famous. But those who liked Wang Zheng had all their focus on Saruman Snake. However, Lear was also leading a team with key members from Earth. Furthermore, he and Luo Fei were the deciding factors for their victory. This was significant. Of course, if there was a flaw, it would be that the Zero Degrees battle team was not a really strong team. Nonetheless, Lear had still led the Dynasty battle team into the semi-finals.

Lear was feeling very relaxed. He had not felt so relaxed in a long time. It was a rare opportunity for him to enjoy watching Wang Zheng's troubled and wretched look. The feeling of taking the lead first was definitely different. To have achieved such an outcome was all in Lear's plan. He was not harsh on himself. This was a reasonable setup. The next step was to see how he could make his victory even bigger.

Just like back on Earth, or even the Solar System, the Chronos family used the power of the media that they were controlling and greatly advocated Lear's achievements, and they were rather successful at it. However, the only thing that stood in the way was Wang Zheng. A great man cannot brook a rival. Afterall, he was the Greatest King. If Wang Zheng could not advance to the semi-finals, then the situation would change. Reasons could be found, but how many people would notice the details. It would not take a long time for people to only remember the result of this SIG. Lear would be the only person from the Solar System to be in the semi-finals.

This would be enough. They would not be staying in the college for much longer, and it was impossible to have such opportunity for exposure again.

This was fate. Maybe he had won countless times in the beginning, but this was Lear's chance to turn the tables.

He had not had such feelings in a long time. He knew the Harbinger battle team well too. Although they were strong, they were not as strong as his Dynasty team. Lear had never underestimated the power of the Sacred Religion. However, he would never believe that the Harbinger battle team would be able to defeat Sea Queen.

Double advancement and double harvest. It was natural that Lear was full of pride for himself

Luo Fei was not there. That fatso was still stuck in a can, recuperating. There was no need for Lear to hide anything. He needed to prepare well for the next battle. Different battle grounds required different battle strategies. There were also many ways to showcase himself. Although Lin Feng was very strong, he had his flaws.

"Ladies and gentlemen, both teams are done with their debugging. Now let's welcome the third match of the semi-finals. The Saruman Snake battle team versus the Soulless battle team - vanguard battle!" Si Jiali's crisp and loud voice sounded throughout the arena. In an instant, the arena was filled with deafening cheers from the audience.

All the warriors were in at the moment. Instantly, they were also enchanted by the fanatical atmosphere. No one could resist it. After all the years of training, who would not desire such a stage? A battle just like this.

But such high standards would always belong to the select few.

Battle of the vanguards.

"Both teams have already sent on their members for the vanguard battle. Representing the Soulless battle team is their vice-captain, Menlo!"

Inside the cockpit, Menlo was emotionless. Instantly, the big screen zoomed in on him, focusing on the cold look in his eyes. The chill of Arbiter. Invincible. They were soldiers who lived to battle!

In fact, this was a very good angle as it perfectly showed off Menlo's characteristics. It instantly ignited the fiery passion for real tough guys. In addition, the same frenzy could also be seen in Arbiter. As a result of the defeats of the Asura battle team and the Steel battle team, Arbiter was embarrassed. They needed a battle of some weight to prove themselves, to defend their honour.

Saruman Snake was such an opponent.

"The vanguard for the Saruman Snake battle team - Achilles from the Moon!"

Roar... Roar~~

In the players' area, there were frenzied roars from the teams from the Solar System. The defeats at the qualifiers were indeed a huge blow to them. However, they were here because they were following the footsteps of their seniors. That was their mental support.

At the Moon, all the military colleges had stopped their classes. They were all waiting for this battle! The first to come on was Achilles. This was an honour for the Moon. From the moment they fell from the Solar System, the pride of the men from the Moon had never diminished. They had always hoped that one day, they could stand on such a glorious arena once again. The moment had finally arrived.

The influence of Achilles at the Moon schools was undeniable Starting from X Academy till now, the son of the Moon had never faltered.

At this very moment, the Moon, the Earth, and Mars were finally aligned. They were rooting for the same person.

However, the expressions of the members of the Saruman Snake battle team were very solemn. The time had finally arrived. All hope hinged on Achilles' battle. In all honesty, if he were defeated, Saruman Snake would most certainly have to pack up and go home. It was not impossible to try defeating Wang Zheng, but even if he were to sacrifice his life, Saruman Snake would still be halted at the semi-finals. It would be impossible for him to win everything on his own. He needed his brothers in combat now!

Achilles - Heavenly Dragon Knight Mech!

Menlo - Frenzy Mech!
