Chapter 204
The four Generals stepped up on the field and they were going to show these little girls the wrath of the military. On the other side, Amelia and Quinn exchanged a look and Rosa said, “Do not give them much of a chance.”
The two of them nodded and Shi Lang said, “Amy be careful.”
Quinn said, “Captain, you are very partial to your fiance.”
Shi Lang did not say anything, his eyes were focused on the four opponents on the field. The aura he gave off was not something very pleasing to the people. Archie Arkham did not expect him to be like this. She wanted to say something when Amelia said, “I will be fine.”
The young man only let out a slight hum. She said, “Come let us go to the field.”
That said the two girls followed upstairs and while Amelia stood in the front, Quinn stood behind her with a lax stance. The people thought the girls were not taking the four generals seriously.
The computer system announced, “Fifth Mock Battle, Fleet General Tomb, Fleet General Ayaka, Fleet General Torres, Fleet General Suhya will face, Captain Amelia Knight, and Major Quinn. Battle Begins.”
As soon as the words dropped, Amelia vanished from the people’s sight. The opposition did not look to be too shocked by this. General Torres said, “Tomb, this is up to your alley.”
General Tomb had the ability to detect objects, it was not like how Shi Lang could sense everything around him, or how he could develop a three-dimensional map around himself based on the slightest of fluctuation in the air.
General Tomb, had a special set of eyes, he could capture the thermal radiation from an object. However, before the old man could react and detect where Amelia was, Quinn acted, she clapped her hands and General Tomb froze.
General Ayaka took out her handgun and was about to aim and take down Quinn, as she was the visible target and they could tell that their comrade was in a bind because of this girl. Amelia, who had been moving around in stealth, shot her handgun. The phaser beam was fired from behind Ayaka, she did not have the time to react.
Usually, in team battles, the person next to you will make sure to keep your back covered, and the person next to her was Fleet General Suhya. However, this person also did not act, Quinn had taken him under control.
Quinn was able to control one person earlier and during the time of possession, she will be unconscious and vulnerable. However, Shi Lang had taught her a technique that allowed her to extend her ability to another level and the impact of the ability had increased two-fold, with the perk of keeping her consciousness intact.
Fleet General Torres did not turn around to save Suhya, he was aware that it was not going to be helpful to him. Suhya had been possessed and all this was linked to Quinn, however, before he could charge and attack the girl.
Suhya, under the mind control, turned the muzzle of his handgun at the back of the fleet general Torres and fired a shot. Torres had not given up his guard and dodged. His ability was speed, and thus he could react faster.
As Torres dodged the attack, Ayaka took one shot and fell unconscious. The handguns were set at stun phaser. Amelia changed targets, Quinn took away her control from Fleet General Tomb and captured General Torres.
Amelia shot at Fleet General Tomb and stunned him as well. Due to being mind-controlled, Tomb did not have the power to react so quickly. The next to go down was Torres. Suhya had broken free from the mind-control and had begun to teleport around the place.
Quinn needed a steady target to lock on to, but Suhya did not give her the chance. He focused on taking out this girl since he would not be able to detect the invisible Amelia, he would be trapped in a bind. Two against one, that too when the opponent were two girls who had taken down three of the best in the whole federation in a matter of seconds.
This was going to be a shameful moment for the general council and they will not have any chance to win. Suhya moved quickly and soon he came closer to Quinn. He had been trying to stun her but stun required the shooter to be in closer proximity.
As soon as he came in the range of stunning the girl, he froze. Amelia had stunned him, she had made a calculation, that with the ability to teleport through the field, she would not be able to predict the point he will re-appear, so she stood her ground and she took aim at the radius of the effective stun range around Quinn.
As soon as the target appeared in this range and took more than a blink, she will take him out. That was what she did. In simpler terms, Suhya was done. As soon as the fourth General fell to the ground, the system announced, “Winner, Captain Amelia Knight, and Major Quinn.”
The whole federation had come to a stop. They did not expect these girls, who seemed to be arrogant, to back their attitude with their skills. The impact of this battle was shocking, the people did not know how to express what they were feeling.
Let alone the civilians, even the retired or on-duty soldiers did not know what to say. This level of skill was not only strategy but also commitment and confidence. After the announcement, Shi Lang took the lead in clap and applause for this short but shocking battle.
The surrounding field also became the same. The people were excited to see the two girls take down the stronger Fleet Generals. Amelia and Quinn bowed their heads to the people and then they walked down back to Shi Lang’s side.
Amelia said, “See, nothing happened?”
Shi Lang patted her head like she was a child and said, “Good for them.”
Quinn rolled her eyes and Shi Lang smiled. The first general asked, “May I ask, why have the two of them stepped down? The battle is still on, right?”
Amelia replied, “Sir, we would like to give a chance to our captain.”
The people were surprised, to see her announce the withdrawal and forfeit in such a casual manner. They did not expect this. General Edwards nodded and said, “Well, then Major Shi Lang, would you like to come up?”
Shi Lang nodded and took off his coat as he said, “I have been waiting eagerly.”
His battle spirit was almost going to make his barge on the field and unleash on the generals. He took off the coat and walked over flexing his arms. His muscles all looked so condensed and strong that many people were surprised, this young man was obviously much thinner than the people of his age group, how come he had such condensed muscles.
Amelia let out a low whistle when she saw this and said, “Instructor Rosa, Commander Silence. How about a bet?”
The two ladies were shocked. Rosa said, “I have seen his battles before, do you think I will not be able to make an estimate of his fight?”
Amelia shook her head and said, “Will we not know, if after the matches?”
Rosa was intrigued, she said, “Shi Lang will win the first fights within ten minutes.”
Commander Silence said, “The opponents are called the Trinity. Even if they take action one by one, they will not be so weak, even if he wins, I think he will take fifteen minutes.”
Amelia smiled and said, “The first two opponents will have only one minute, and I bet all my life savings, that is two million credits.”
Quinn said, “Fuck, girl have you gone mad? You are basically throwing all that money, right?”
Amelia smiled and did not say anything. Rosa was surprised and after some thought, she said, “I will push in two million credits as well.” she was aware that Quinn will question her so she said, “I earned from the stock market, I have stocks in Neomonian market and Federal Market as well. I can still love well.”
Archie Arkham nodded and said, “Fine, I will push in the same amount.”
She was low-key rich too. The salary of the secret divisions was not small. Amelia smiled and said, “Lang.”
Shi Lang turned to look at her and the girl raised her finger and mouthed some words to him. The young man turned around to gaze at the first enemy and nodded. The three ladies on his side thought that he was just playing along.
The system announced, “Sixth Mock Battle, Major Shi Lang, versus, Fleet General Alucard. The battle begins.”
Shi Lang moved and so did the pale-looking man in front of him. The two had the same speed, however, just when the man was trying to use his special skills, the blood control, Shi Lang infused spirit energy in his body, and dash in closer to his body.
The next moment, General Alucard received a combination of attacks to his stomach, liver, and nose. He reeled back from the impact of spirit energy fists, but at this moment Shi Lang grabbed his hands and pulled him closer as he jumped and drove his knee into the face of the opponent.
