With regards to such a bold and reckless operation by the First Men's Military Academy, the expressions of those in the monitoring room were not approving. Only a few frowned and thought more deeply about the point of this operation.

Ling Xiao was one of them. He put his hand on his chin and looked at the scaled down model of the map of the terrain and entered deep thought.

"Area S9 is the intersection between the forest area and grassland area, as well as the center of the forest area. A special-class mecha's radar is probably capable of covering two-thirds of this area. For an ace mecha, it could cover 100%…"

Ling Xiao thought deeply as to the intentions of the First Men's Military Academy. "Sending out a team to Area S9 which is far away and lighting it up just for conquering the area? That doesn't make sense. If Area S, Q, and M wanted to attack Area P, they must pass Area S… but Area P is where there are the most number of headquarters. When the battle royale starts, this place will definitely become a location everyone will fight for and will be the most brutal battlefield. The First Men's Military Academy which was originally in Area G could have just sat back and watched the show, yet they want to tread in these muddy waters instead.

"Logically, the main forces would defend the base camp, since the headquarters is the crux of the battle royale. If a fight broke out in Area S, their headquarters would definitely not be able to send reinforcements. And relying on the mecha operators split off from the main group to defend the area is pretty much impossible. Since that's the case, then why would they come to light up S9 and do something meaningless?

"Lan'er won't have missed this point, so then why would she arrange this? Could it be that there's someone who refused to comply with Lan'er's decision and the result was that they moved out without permission?" Ling Xiao's brows immediately formed a frown upon thinking of this possibility. He thought about Qiao Ting, the person who was nicknamed the second Ling Xiao. Was it him?

However, in the private meetings between father and daughter in the past few days, Ling Lan's expression was as light as the wind. It was possible that she already had these issues under control. The frown on Ling Xiao's brows slowly eased. He was very confident in his daughter. Ling Lan's capability was not to be looked down on since she was able to take care and look after the Ling family during the 16 years that he had 'sacrificed' himself for the country.

"Since there's definitely no one going off on their own, then this operation was arranged by Lan'er, or was approved by her…" Ling Xiao speculated and came to this conclusion as his eyes lit up. His own daughter would not make a move blindly—there was definitely more to this matter than meets the eye.

Ling Xiao scanned the map on the table once again, imprinting all the terrains of each area into his eyes and going through them in his mind once again.

"No!" Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly narrowed and he said, "This is a defensive checkpoint! Lan'er wants to block off all teams from Area S. Since they have to protect their headquarters, the number of forces they can send out for an attack can't be that much… If they send a strong team to stay in this location and mount a sneak attack, the probability of success is very high. If the team leader is Qiao Ting, then not only does the success rate increase exponentially but at the same time, Area S would become the best shield for them."

Ling Xiao lips showed a hint of a smile. He was already certain that the battle team which lit up Area S9 was the team led by Qiao Ting. And only he could make the best possible result out of this maneuver. This move that Lan'er had arranged was indeed amazing, as even he could not contain his surprise.

Right when Ling Xiao predicted what would happen, the other audience members and referees, who had doubts about the move the First Men's Military Academy had made, had already switched to Area S9 on the big screen.
