Chapter 1120 Wallflower?

“So, he was faking it?” Little Four frowned and still couldn’t understand.

“You probably saw that when the opponent closed in on him, he actually had three windows of opportunity to shoot him,” hinted Ling Lan.

“Yeah, but wasn’t it because Li Lanfeng was afraid to take the shot? That guy is like that, irresolute and hesitant. When he must make decisions, he doesn’t. He is so annoying when he does that.” Little Four seemed to have found why he hated Li Lanfeng and why he always had an annoyed expression on his face when he looked at Li Lanfeng.

“Irresolute and hesitant? Heh,” Ling Lan laughed softly. “If you described any other person, I might have believed you.”

Little Four wasn’t going to let up. “Isn’t he though? He wasn’t confident with himself and was afraid to take his shot. In the end, he allowed his opponent to close in on him successfully, and he was almost sliced in half because of that.”

Ling Lan sighed. “Little Four, when you have your own body in the future, please for the love of god, don’t mess with Li Lanfeng.”

“Boss, are you looking down on me, right now?” Little Four became angry. Why was he not capable as Li Lanfeng in Boss’s mind?

“I’m just afraid you’ll suffer in his hands.” Ling Lan shook her head and continued, “Li Lanfeng isn’t a person who would put himself in danger because he was afraid of hurting his comrades.”

“Then, why did he give up on the three windows of opportunity?” Little Four was slowly believing in Ling Lan’s words. If she said Li Lanfeng wouldn’t do that, then Li Lanfeng would never do that.

“Didn’t I say it already? Li Lanfeng already had a plan from the very beginning. He created a weak and irresolute image of himself in his opponent’s mind…” explained Ling Lan. “And to do that, Li Lanfeng purposely gave up those three windows of opportunity.”

“Huh?” Little Four was dumbfounded, “Why?”

“Even if he hit the opponent through those windows of opportunity, it would only be a severe injury and not a sure kill.” Ling Lan smirked. Li Lanfeng was a very ambitious person. He wanted a sure-kill, not just a severe injury on his opponent. To obtain that sure-kill, he purposely set up the plan and let his opponent fall into his trap.

Little Four was after all Little Four, although he didn’t understand at the beginning, he still managed to understand after Ling Lan’s explanation. It was clear that the entire situation wasn’t a coincidence.

“Then, using his beam gun to block was also part of Li Lanfeng’s calculations? Including the fall caused by the explosion of the energy storage unit?” Little Four asked after realizing something.

“But, isn’t he afraid that he would accidentally injure himself with the explosion?” Little Four was very surprised with Li Lanfeng’s daringness. The calculations and plans may severely injure himself if it was off by even a bit and wouldn’t do anything to his opponent.

“That’s why I’m telling you to stay away from Li Lanfeng. That guy is ruthless. Not only is he ruthless to others, but to himself as well.”

ISe

From the very beginning, when he was plotting against others, he would always use himself as bait in his schemes. Luckily, Li Lanfeng was her confidant, otherwise Ling Lan would definitely have taken him out before he had matured in order to make sure he didn’t become troublesome for her in the future.

“What now? Hasn’t Li Lanfeng already exposed the fact that he’s strong in terms of close combat?” Little Four looked Li Lanfeng, who was piloting his mecha fighting fiercely against his opponent. He then said with schadenfreude, “His calculations and schemes are all useless in the end.”

“That might not be the case.” Ling Lan smirked with hidden intention behind it. Every clash made it seem that both sides were at the same level, but in reality, the positions they moved towards, including the rebound distance, were off by a little bit compared to his opponent. Anyone could see such a minuscule difference, but did that mean Li Lanfeng wasn’t as capable as his opponent?

When fighting with Li Lanfeng, his opponents must always be on guard. Otherwise, just one slip up would make him fall into Li Lanfeng’s traps.

However, how could his opponent’s first impression of him, created by Li Lanfeng through manipulation, be so easily changed?

Right as Ling Lan was about to watch Li Lanfeng’s next move, she suddenly frowned as she turned her gaze towards the area of space furthest away from them.

“Boss, there seems to be movement from that direction.” Little Four, who had already taken control of all the satellites within the area, discovered the odd occurrence.

“It seems someone can’t sit still anymore.” Ling Lan smiled, “I’ve been a wallflower for so long. I should move around a bit now.”

After saying that, Ling Lan’s mecha flashed through space and arrived at the area of space in front of her.

“Come out!” The Firmament in Ling Lan’s hand sliced towards the vast space in front of her.

A strong shapeless ripple appeared in the direction she had sliced towards and a mecha slowly appeared in that area of space.

The mecha twirled in the air and dodged the sword attack.

“I didn’t expect that you would actually discover me.” In the public voice channel, a deep male voice spoke Caesar’s language. A mecha finally completely appeared in front of Ling Lan.

The knight emblem on the mecha’s chest, the English word ‘Knight’ and the serial number of 000-000… It was the mecha of their regiment commander.

“Your men have been stopped by my men and they cannot move even an inch further, so it makes sense that you can’t sit still anymore,” Ling Lan said nonchalantly.

“Phoenix emblem. You’re Lingtian Mecha Clan’s regiment commander then. I still haven’t gotten any useful information about your clan. I originally thought that even if you were strong, you would only be similar to Proud Wind Mecha Clan. I didn’t expect you to actually give me such a surprise and successfully intercept us. Not bad, not bad.”

The Knight Ace Mecha Clan’s regiment commander also saw the serial number on Ling Lan’s mecha along with the phoenix emblem. After piecing it with the information he had received, he knew that this mecha operator, who saw through his movements, was the regiment commander of Lingtian. He was somewhat excited. Normally, he would stay put when his mecha clan was in battle. But, he finally found an opponent who was on par with him. This made him feel the fighting spirit within him that had already hibernated become fired up.

“I’ve been waiting for you for quite a while now,” Ling Lan said calmly.

“Alright, since you’re looking to die, I’ll help you fulfill your wish.” Killing intent filled the regiment commander from Knight Ace Mecha Clan. When his 37th leader was killed, he had already decided to make sure not one person from Lingtian could escape here alive.

It should be known that in the decade he had been a regiment commander, this was the first time one of his leaders was killed. This humiliation must be repaid through blood.

Inside the base, the scene on the large screen changed once again. It showed two mechas far from the center of the battle confronting each other in the silent yet vast space.

“That’s odd. Why did the scene change to this?” The soldiers in the base were all annoyed at the mainframe’s odd scene changes.

Couldn’t it let them watch a battle between leaders from the beginning to the end? It was always changing the scene when the most exciting and thrilling parts were about to come up.

“It’s regiment commander mechas! Two of them are both regiment commander mechas!” Finally someone had sharp eyes and managed to see the regiment commander’s serial numbers from the side.

“That’s right, they’re regiment commander mechas.”

“What? It’s the battle between Lingtian’s regiment commander and Knight Ace Mecha Clan’s regiment commander. Mr. Mainframe, I f*cking love you.” They were just hating the mainframe for changing the scene but now, they were all chanting that the mainframe understood what they wanted.

The mainframe felt wronged. When the video feed started playing in the base, he didn’t have any power in choosing what to show to people.

Little Four smiled proudly. He was going to let these dumb soldiers admire his heroic, brave, and omnipotent Boss!
