Chapter 483 The Armor Leopard in the Finals

"Everyone, the boss is likely in a coma due to overexertion of his Tyrant Body, but his life isn't in danger. So, Li Hao isn't unbeatable. However, I can't judge how much strength Li Hao has left. Shan-ge, you're experienced and the most level-headed among us. What do you think? Now that the boss is unconscious, our primary task is to win the championship and not let our efforts of the past few years go to waste," Anlita said in a deep voice. Whether it was true or not, she had to say it this way now.

The others were bound to be more impulsive, while Li Xiangshan would be more calm.

Li Xiangshan forced a smile. "This level of combat is far beyond me; I can't judge. If it were me, I think we still have a chance. We can't be restricted by tactics. After all, the landing points are random. If there's an opportunity, I think we should try to take one of them out. At least ensure we get into the tiebreaker. But only one is enough. Don't get greedy. I don't think there will be many opportunities like this. If it doesn't work, don't be reckless, and don't fall into their trap. The five of us need to be together to be sure."

Anlita slammed her hand down. "That's it! Klein!"

Klein was taken aback. "What?"

"You're the most impulsive, so don't get a hot head. You must use your brain in battle. The five of us are indispensable. If we're missing one, none of us are his match."

The pressure from Li Mo was too terrifying. "If we're lucky enough to run into him, don't back down. Drag it into the tiebreaker! Our chances are better there!"

Klein wanted to argue, but seeing everyone's eyes, he pursed his lips and swallowed it back down.

Davalish nodded. "With... with Xila here, we can hold on. He... he will... exhaust... greatly."

"There's no need to deify him. He's just one person. Even if he has no flaws, the mecha always has flaws. Besides, this is a team battle. Discovering the Red Flag Base is still the top priority. Everyone, our goal is clear: to win the victory. Don't worry about anything else, and don't need to prove anything. Steadfastly win this battle for the boss!" Anlita said.

Sirian sometimes had a bad temper, but no one had ever been better to them than Sirian. They, the problem children in the eyes of others, had found a new life with Sirian, living a worry-free life with a bright future.

The team battle preparation time ended, and both sides confirmed their final team battle lists.

Hailong Team: Anlita, Klein, Davalish, Li Xiangshan, Xila.

Tianjing Mech Fighting Team: Li Hao, Zhou Nanyi, Musashi, Zuo Xiaotang, Ma Long.

At the same time, the judging panel provided the health data of the participating team members. All members of the Hailong Team were above the standard combat power, while in the Tianjing Mech Fighting Team, Li Hao and Ma Long were above the standard combat power. Zhou Nanyi, Musashi, and Zuo Xiaotang were at the standard combat power, which meant they barely met the participation standard, but they weren't at their peak. The pressure of the battle was still on the Tianjing Mech Fighting side.

Operating environment: Kepler Red Flag Base.

Hailong Team: Anlita, Phantom Fighter

Klein, Phantom Fighter

Davalish, Hunter Shadow Apollo

Li Xiangshan, Judgement Ous

Xila, Judgement Ous

The Hailong Team chose very quickly, obviously having made sufficient preparations for such a team battle. At the same time, they adhered to the NUP style, maximizing mobility. The problem was on the Tianjing Mech Fighting side. Mobility was also very important. Zhou Nanyi chose the Radiant Shadow Athena, which was a matter of course. Musashi hesitated for a while before choosing the Lehmanba FSH. This was USE's signature light mecha, pursuing mobility. It could be seen that the Tianjing Mech Fighting side also understood that in the event of an encounter, they didn't have much chance of winning in a one-on-one situation. To fight or not to fight, that was the question.

Zuo Xiaotang still chose the Hunter Shadow Apollo. His sniping still had room to play in a team battle, and with his ability, it wouldn't be easy to catch him in a team battle.

Ma Long had a headache. His forte was definitely the Bright King Acatha, but this mecha really couldn't go up. Once discovered, he would definitely be dead. He didn't use light mecha much. The Lehmanba was too unfamiliar. He had used the Radiant Shadow Athena a few times, but that was just for show. Now he had to bite the bullet and use it.

All eyes were on Li Hao. His choice was the key to this battle. Whether Tianjing Mech Fighting wanted to end in a team battle or go into a tiebreaker all depended on this choice.

"Judging from the previous lineup choices, Tianjing Mech Fighting has given up on frontal engagement. They're betting on their captain. Judging from mobility, it's very likely they're aiming to wipe out the opponent. They don't want to go into a tiebreaker."

"If they go into a tiebreaker, as long as Li Hao isn't randomly selected, the match is over. It seems like there's a chance, but I think the team battle is actually where the victory will be decided. Betting on that single chance is really unreliable."

"Ahem, aren't you underestimating the Hailong Team too much? Five top-tier Flowing Heart martial artists. Seeing their choice so decisively, they must have a strategy. It's not realistic for Li Hao to want to fight five. Their choice of mecha with good mobility is to complete the convergence as soon as possible. As long as they don't get a hot head and kite well, the Dark Knight Saber isn't enough..."

Anchors and commentators from all over the Solar System were hotly discussing, and students from major military academies were eagerly waiting. Everyone knew that the most critical moment had arrived. What would Li Hao choose?

"Why isn't this guy choosing? The Dark Knight Saber is the safest! He can cut them down one by one!" Dita was a little anxious.

"The Dark Knight Fighter is a bit passive, lacking mobility in a team battle." Chao Qinglong frowned. "The initiative is in the hands of the Hailong Team. Without an absolutely good opportunity, they won't give Second Brother the environment to complete a five-kill."

Leaving aside other harsh conditions, the mobility of five people was still a problem for the Dark Knight Saber.

Li Hao's mecha appeared.

In that instant, the whole world fell silent. Immediately afterward, countless military academies on Earth erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and countless viewers watching the live broadcast on EMP went crazy. That mobile warrior they had been thinking about, dreaming about, and longing for had finally appeared in the most critical team battle.

Armor Leopard!

It really was the Armor Leopard!

"Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters who support Puppet, get ready to cheer! He's here!" Mad Warrior Doula fiercely waved his fist. In the waiting time before, he had been talking about which mecha had the greatest lethality and sufficient mobility in a team battle, and that was the Armor Leopard!

In an instant, the main live broadcast room was completely occupied by supporters of the Armor Leopard. Ever since Puppet had developed the correct way to use the Armor Leopard in EMP, the Armor Leopard had become the most used mecha in the virtual areas of the four major war zones. Winning or losing wasn't important; being cool was all that mattered. In real mode, the Armor Leopard also consistently ranked in the top ten. Many warriors and players were working hard to master this mecha. One was popular, and the other was powerful, but the advantages and disadvantages of this mecha were too obvious, making it really difficult to choose in official competitions.

Except for Puppet.

Not only did he choose it, but in the team battle of the finals.

The final lineup of the Tianjing Mech Fighting Team was confirmed:

Li Hao, Armor Leopard

Zhou Nanyi, Radiant Shadow Athena

Musashi, Lehmanba FSH

Zuo Xiaotang, Hunter Shadow Apollo

Ma Long, Radiant Shadow Athena

This lineup of Tianjing Mech Fighting didn't look like they were fighting a team battle; it felt more like a mecha race. They were all light mecha that could run and dodge, except for one sniper type. They maximized mobility, but there was no strong confrontation at all.

Ignoring the IDs, it was a trash lineup that wouldn't be chosen even in amateur events. But now, it was the ideal lineup in the hearts of Tianjing Mech Fighting supporters. The others just needed to avoid feeding kills and let Puppet carry!

"The Hailong Team has a team battle lineup with a score of over 90. Brothers who have used the Judgement Ous know that this heavy-armored mecha has a super-strong sprinting ability and surging power. The Tianjing Mech Fighting lineup is as fragile as paper, barely giving it a score of 60. Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to see the life-and-death team battle between the Hailong Team and the Tianjing Mech Fighting Team. Right from the start, the Tianjing Mech Fighting Team is prepared to flee. They're preparing to bet on Mu Jiang. I don't believe that there won't be an encounter in the randomly landed Kepler battlefield. As long as they catch one, the Tianjing Mech Fighting warriors will be destroyed. Once the points-grabbing tactic is shattered, they will become anxious and chaotic. Chaos is an opportunity. The Hailong Team should not be misled by Mu Jiang. No matter how strong he is, he is just one person, unable to be everywhere. Do your best, and you can win the victory. The one who laughs last is the winner!" Fire Man used all his strength to cheer for the Hailong Team. This was the last gamble of his career.

Mad Warrior Doula didn't give in. "Ladies and gentlemen, judging from the lineup selection, Tianjing Mech Fighting wants to end the match in the team battle. The light mecha maintain sufficient mobility, waiting for Mu Ou-shen's performance. This is his first time showing the Armor Leopard in the S-match. Let us wait and see. The coronation of God is just one step away. Shout out the team you support!"

In the center of the galaxy, mountains roared and waves surged. At this point, the supporters of both sides had entered a soulfully high state. One step to heaven, one step to hell, neither side would back down. On this biggest stage of mobile warriors, a hero was about to be born.

Ten mobile warriors entered the Kepler jungle, and a bird's-eye view of the big map immediately appeared before the audience.

The Red Flag Base appeared in the central area of the battlefield. There were no major surprises, which meant that, according to conventional tactics, both sides would discover the Red Flag Base, making the competition more intense. Around the Red Flag Base, many details of attack and defense would change between the two sides.

The ten mobile warriors dispersed separately. There were a few groups that could potentially intersect, depending on the choices of the warriors. All the landed warriors reported their landing locations to their captain.

Zhou Nanyi sensed that there were no mecha reactions on the radar, meaning there would be no landing encounters, at least. She immediately activated her Golden Zone, needing to give the general direction of the Red Flag Base.

Zuo Xiaotang, Musashi, and Ma Long immediately went into silent mode upon landing, waiting for further orders.

Suddenly, a gleam flashed in Zhou Nanyi's eyes. "Li Hao, the general direction of the Red Flag Base is in the central area of the battlefield!"

Receiving the message, Li Hao smiled slightly. "Brothers, proceed according to plan. Leave the rest to me."

In an instant, including Zhou Nanyi, Zuo Xiaotang, Musashi, and Ma Long immediately ran towards the outer perimeter of the battlefield.
