Seeing Meng Huai still unconvinced, the people opposite had varying emotions. Some admired her, while others thought she was faking it. Someone shouted at Meng Huai, "If you don't have a mecha, just surrender!"
However, this attitude seemed rather unfeeling, and the spectators didn't like it.
But Meng Huai didn't care what these people said; she beckoned them to attack.
Someone in the crowd said, "Don't use photon cannons to attack, everyone. Let's avoid injuring classmate Meng Huai."
Yun Xu, who saw this scene, also nodded, "See? She has a connection with people."
【Saying this at this moment feels very disingenuous.】
But everyone tacitly agreed not to use weapons like photon cannons to avoid injuring Meng Huai. However, even close-quarters combat carried risks. They couldn't possibly worry about that, otherwise, what would be the point of the competition?
The crowd surged towards Meng Huai. Meng Huai placed her spear behind her, then stepped forward to meet them.
At this moment, six or seven people were attacking Meng Huai. They thought they would quickly subdue her, but those with this idea were mistaken. Did they think she would surely lose without a mecha? Everyone was wrong; the mecha only restricted Meng Huai's movements.
Facing so many people and various weapons attacking her, Meng Huai continuously dodged with her agile movements, while also inflicting damage on them. Classmate Xiao Wu and Wu Fei were still the closest to Meng Huai. Meng Huai twirled her spear in the air, repelling those who tried to sneak attack from behind.
The spear looked long and heavy, but in Meng Huai's hands, it was wielded effortlessly. The battlefield was constantly changing. After dealing with those behind her, Wu Fei and Xiao Wu and others surrounded her again.
Meng Huai thought that since her mecha had turned into scrap metal and was useless, she would make their mechas pay the same price.
Thus, she used their own tactics against them. Meng Huai's spearhead continuously slashed at their mechas. These individuals were experiencing the same feeling as Meng Huai had earlier.
Although they couldn't see the long, deep marks on their own mechas, they could see them on the mechas of those around them. Those scratches were enough to make anyone's mecha ache, let alone their own.
But this was just the beginning. Meng Huai continued to attack their mechas, yet these people couldn't land a hit on Meng Huai.
【Why do I feel like these people miscalculated? Mechas are larger targets. This person disappeared in a flash.】
【How is Meng Huai so agile?】
【I thought if the mecha couldn't be used, it was a done deal! Why is she still so troublesome!】
Just as the spectators were calling Meng Huai troublesome, she executed a return thrust, her spearhead directly touching a single soldier's sensor.
"One soldier from the Fifth Military Academy is out. 87,500 points are awarded to the Imperial Military Academy."
This spear thrust seemed like an omen. Although no one else was eliminated as directly as this soldier, Meng Huai continuously damaged their mechas. When it came to mechas, Meng Huai understood them far better than these single soldiers facing her.
She knew where to attack and what kind of damage it would inflict on a mecha. However, it had to be said that the person who had damaged Meng Huai's mecha earlier had incredible luck, managing to hit a critical point so easily...
As a result, in the live broadcasts of these military academies, people saw their mechas constantly being damaged, rendering them completely unable to counterattack.
But for the supporters of the Imperial Military Academy, the glimmer of hope they had finally seen was immediately extinguished.
"One soldier from the Imperial Military Academy is out. 105,410 points are awarded to the Aser Military Academy."
"One mecha engineer from the Imperial Military Academy is out. 3,785 points are awarded to the Twelfth Military Academy."
"One commander from the Imperial Military Academy is out. 490 points are awarded to the Fifth Military Academy."
"One soldier from the Imperial Military Academy is out. 210,955 points are awarded to the Fifth Military Academy."
There were still some people with undamaged mechas around Meng Huai. She intended to continue, but her movements stopped when she heard the broadcast.
While Meng Huai was valiantly resisting, Jing Yuan Cheng could no longer withstand the attacks from so many people. Eventually, with their defenses lost, the three of them were eliminated one by one by different individuals. Once Zheng Yi Ran was eliminated, Meng Huai was also eliminated, and their points were all awarded to the person who eliminated Zheng Yi Ran.
The spectators in the Fifth Military Academy's live stream felt their hearts leap and fall. The tension from the elimination of a single soldier had barely subsided when suddenly, the situation took a sharp turn. Now, their points were the highest. Not only that, but the points from the members Meng Huai eliminated instantly returned to their teammates.
It could be said to be sheer good luck.
This sudden change startled everyone. The Imperial Military Academy, which had been so difficult to eliminate before, was now out?
【It doesn't seem that difficult.】
【Did we overthink this? It looks like it's just like that!】
【They're eliminated! Congratulations! We took down the great demon king.】
【It's not that it's not difficult. Meng Huai was eliminated because the commander was eliminated. If Meng Huai had been a little faster, or if Jing Yuan Cheng had held on a little longer, the outcome would have been reversed.】
【What a pity. Meng Huai was so close to defeating them.】
Meng Huai also felt regret; they were just a little bit short. Jing Yuan Cheng also felt guilty, sighing repeatedly as they boarded the aircraft.
With the major problem of the Imperial Military Academy solved, these teams rallied their forces. However, the situation was clearly not good, and the damage to the mechas of the team members was also severe.
They didn't leave the area. Several military academies gathered their teams, set up tents there, and decided to rest for the night.
The mecha engineers looked at the mechas in their hands and lamented, "This Meng Huai really didn't hold back, did she? And how is it that the damage is always so perfectly placed?"
If it were just a little higher, it wouldn't have given them such a headache! The mecha engineers thought this.
The mecha engineers worked tirelessly through the night repairing the mechas, but it was clearly difficult to complete the repairs in such a short time.
On the second day, the single soldiers had to use these mechas, which were only half-repaired and barely functional, for combat. The single soldiers who had not attacked Meng Huai and had instead dealt with the others from the Imperial Military Academy breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this situation.
When would this major problem, Meng Huai, be solved? This was the thought on every single soldier's mind, and also the thought of all the spectators. It could be said to be a major suspense of this military academy league.
Although Meng Huai was eliminated this time, she was only eliminated after eliminating Zheng Yi Ran, the commander. In the future, protection for Zheng Yi Ran would certainly be more thorough. How would they proceed next time?
