Chapter 1434 - One Round Of Humiliation Was Enough

“Why are they surrounding us? This is a preserve district.” Many people couldn’t understand what was happening in their state of fear.

Grief flashed past Elder Father’s eyes. There was never any actual safe place in the warring districts. A preserve district was just a blessing the 13 Lords gave them when they were in a good mood. They could take it back anytime they want.

“Calm down. Let me go and ask them.” Elder Father comforted the defenseless citizens. Those that were able to fight were already fully armed after Little Ju left.

The 7th Preserve District would never allow them to be seized without a fight. If the other party couldn’t let them go, they would try to pull them down to hell together. Killing intent appeared in Elder Father’s eyes.

The situation was very bad. Just like what Elder Father had expected, their opponent knew Little Ju had saved those soldiers, and now, they were coming here to retrieve them.

“I’m sorry. We are totally ignorant of the matter. As for those people that you mentioned, they’re not in the 7th Preserve District,” Elder Father spoke in an unyielding tone.

“In that case, there’s no need for the 7th Preserve District to exist.” The regiment commander of this mecha clan was a cold-blooded person. He decided the fate of the tens of thousands of people in the 7th Preserve District with just one sentence.

“Are you trying to violate the rules of the battle royale? All the 13 Lords approved of the construction of the 7th Preserve District,” Elder Father said angrily.

He had guessed this ending but when it really happened, Elder Father couldn’t maintain his composure.

“So what?” The regiment commander smiled coldly. Would the 13 Lords punish them for these ordinary and useless low-class people? No, they would even feel that making them in their backyard was a waste of time.

“Raze the 7th Preserve District down. I want to see what other districts dare to take them in again,” The regiment commander said viciously.

He wanted to massacre the 7th Preserve District in order to vent the frustration he had endured in these past few days. At the same time, he wanted to use them as an example to warn the other districts to let them understand their position in the Lawless Lands. They were just useless lambs that could be culled anytime they want.

“Kill them!” The regiment commander didn’t give Elder Father any more time of his day as he immediately ordered a massacre.

Swoosh! A mecha positioned behind the regiment commander shot at Elder Father. Elder Father was soon going to be devoured by the beam ray.

Bang!

Suddenly, numerous mechas dropped down from the sky. One of the mechas opened his beam shield in time and blocked the beam.

“Elder Father, we’re here.” A deep and strong voice came from the mecha.

“You came just in time.” Elder Father threw this sentence down and disappeared on the spot the next second. After some time, another mecha appeared beside the speaking mecha. It was Elder Father’s mecha.

“Huh?” The regiment commander couldn’t help but feel surprised when he saw the bunch of mechas suddenly falling from the sky.

These mechas didn’t belong to Lord Gen as these mechas in front of him were very old mecha models. But, their owners seemed to have taken great care of them, so much so that they looked brand new. If it wasn’t for their dated outer shell, the regiment commander might think that they were the current-gen mechas.

He didn’t expect this seemingly ordinary 7th Preserve District had such a bunch of powerful mecha operators hidden inside it.

The malicious intent in the regiment commander’s eyes grew stronger. He had already broken his relationship with the 7th Preserve District openly, so all the more he wouldn’t allow anyone from the 7th Preserve District to live. No matter how powerful they were, they all must die here.

“Kill them!” The regiment commander gave the order, and more than a hundred mechas rushed out towards the mechas from the 7th Preserve District.

The mechas from the 7th Preserve District had to face double the amount of mechas they had.

It was obvious that they didn’t plan to engage in a battle of attrition with Elder Father. They wanted to end this fight quickly and then pillage the entire 7th Preserve District.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The mechas used their cold weapons to fight against one another. Although Elder Father’s team had half the number of men, their mecha piloting skills were not bad at all, maybe even a level higher than their opponents. So, the enemy mechas weren’t able to do anything to them for quite some time. Some of them even managed to suppress their enemy even though they were fighting with two mechas.

“Damn it.” The regiment commander looked at the fight for a few minutes and soon he noticed that the situation wasn’t as optimistic as he imagined. He cursed silently before he gave his next order decisively, “Send in another brigade. We must finish those pieces of trash in the next three minutes.”

“Yes.” The leaders of the brigades replied simultaneously.

Before they could decide which brigade would go, they heard an agitated voice. “Don’t fight with me. This time, it’s time for Brigade 21 to shine.”

The brigade leader of Brigade 21 hadn’t achieved much on the battlefield, so he was quite desperate for an opportunity to earn some merits. Luckily, they seemed to have faced some easy prey.

The other brigade leaders knew of Brigade 21’s miserable situation so they didn’t try to snatch it away from him. The brigade leader of Brigade 21 happily led his team and entered the battlefield. Now, Elder Father’s team members had to fight with three enemies each. The situation changed instantly. Danger was everywhere.

“Elder Father…” Doctor Ju, who was sitting in Zhao Jun’s cockpit, shouted when he saw Elder Father in danger.

Zhao Jun had followed behind the mecha army secretly and sneaked their way here. They didn’t dare to get any closer when they saw the mechas at the boundaries of the 7th Preserve District. They decided to hide and observe from a distance away.

Doctor Ju clearly saw what was happening to Elder Father.

But, in this kind of situation, Doctor Ju didn’t dare to beg Zhao Jun. She knew that if they exposed themselves now, it was the same as seeking death. She respected and loved Elder Father but she couldn’t let a stranger die for her own selfish desire either.

She couldn’t do it so she could only cry silently. Her tears dropped down one by one. At this moment, she hated herself for being weak. She hated herself for being rash and stupid.

“Is it very painful to see your loved ones dying?” Zhao Jun’s voice sounded clearly beside her ear. It was cold.

“Do you hate yourself for being useless, for being stupid, and for being reckless?” Zhao Jun was speaking her true thoughts. Doctor Ju forcefully pinched her thigh. She wanted to use the pain to regain her composure. Doctor Ju knew that once she lost control of her emotions, she might break down and resent everything in the world.

“I also hate it. I hate that I can only hide at the side and watch my brothers fight… so that we will have a chance to live.” Zhao Jun’s expression was blank but cold. He seemed to have thought of something. “At times like that, I will tell myself that I will only allow such weakness once. The next time, even if I die, I will stay beside them.”

“Damn it, I don’t want to be a coward again. Even if Boss said that I’m stupid and irrational, I don’t care anymore,” Zhao Jun shouted. Then, he controlled his mecha and shot out like a cannonball.

At the same time, the ten mechas behind him emerged too.

They had the same thoughts as Zhao Jun. They felt sad for what happened at Qingri wormhole but at the same time, they also remembered the humiliation they felt.

One round of humiliation was enough. They didn’t want to suffer a second one. This was how Lingtian was like!
