"Observe the enemies closely. Our regiment commander said the people with the golden plates on their shoulders are our opponent." The team 01's leader, Yang Mingzhi, looked towards the Hailiya mecha operators who were getting closer and closer towards them. He calmly informed all the mecha operators of 250 Ace Mecha Clan.

"Understood, leader." His team member replied.

"Understood, Leader Yang." replied the members of other teams.

"Understood Leader Yang... but can I ask why?" It was Yan Three's question. They were able to use the same commlink channel as the mecha operator from 250 due to them being temporarily incorporated into the teams, so he heard Leader Yang's reminder. Although Yan Three said that he understood the command just like everyone else in 250 Ace Mecha Clan, he still spoke out the question he had in his mind.

Those who received Ling Lan's intel were only the 10 team leaders of 250 Ace Mecha Clan and their deputies. Yan Three's Evil Wind Mecha Team and other team leaders however, who were not part of Ling Lan's posse, weren't able to get any intel about the mecha operators with golden plates.

"Our regiment commander had said that those with golden plate are either elite ace mecha master or top-level ace mecha masters..." Yang Mingzhi stopped himself from continuing to prevent the Evil Wind mecha operators from becoming more terrified. Ling Lan's information, or rather guess, was that the golden plated battle team's leaders level mecha operators could possibility be at the imperial mecha operator levels of capabilities.

"Elite ace? Top-level ace?" As expected, Yan Three shuddered at the thought of it. Ever since he entered ace level, he learned that there were actually three levels differentiating ace mecha masters. It was standard, elite and top-level. Standard ace operators were ace operators like him, and this level had the most number of people. One level higher than standard was elite. Yan Three was close to being an elite. However, he was only close to elite, so it didn't mean much. Plus, there was still the top-level that he had to reach. That stage was considered to be halfway towards becoming imperial mecha operators. In terms of ace operators, top-level operators were considered to be invincible.

Hearing Yang Mingzhi's explanation, the mecha operators from Evil Wind all shuddered just like their team leader. They immediately began to look for mechas with a golden plate on their right shoulders. Finally, they found one sector among the Hailiyan army where there was a group of mechas with a golden plate on their shoulders. They numbered around 500 or even more.

"We only have 200 people, how can we fight them?" One member from Evil Wind couldn't help but shout out.

"Our regiment commander is already coming with reinforcements, but before he arrives, we must hold the fort and stop them from getting past us." Yang Mingzhi took a deep breath. Using 200 to go against 500 or 600 people was without a doubt a battle with the greatest disparity that he would fight in since joining the military. It was also the hardest battle. However, he knew that if they couldn't stop them here, more of their comrades would die at their hands.

"That's not possible..." Mecha operators from Evil Wind were not confident that they could do such a thing.

"Stop!" Yan Three suddenly shouted. "Has everyone forgotten how we all became mecha operators?"

Yan Three's question shut up all of the mecha operators from Evil Wind. Every mission for them in the past were considered to be suicide missions. They managed to get past hardships after falling into despair each and every time. The current scenario was just a bit more difficult than the ones they had experienced in the past, so why should they be afraid? Was it because when they had advanced to ace level, they had lost their willpower from the past?
