Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1393

Ji Ming's eyes narrowed. “The mecha battle has begun.”

As Ji Ming's word left his mouth, the mecha group behind them suddenly moved out. The opposing side also did the same.

“It began just like that?” Luo Lang was stunned. He thought that the guardians, enforcers, magistrates and devils would fight first and then the mecha battle would start.

“Then how do you want it go?” Ji Ming said helplessly. “A mecha battle with 10 thousands mechas. We can't do anything in such a large scale fight. They have their own way of battling, after all.”

“I know, but don't wars require strategy? Staring just like this…” Even Luo Lang, who didn't like to use his brain, felt this way of fighting was too crude.

“These are our best mecha operators. They don't need to show any strategy, they just need to show their power,” explained Ji Ming. “As for strategy, we leave that to the other mecha armies.”

“Where are they?” Tang Ningyu looked around them. Other than their group, along with the mecha army that had already met up with their opponents, he didn't see anyone else.

“The battlefield for strategy isn't here.” Ji Ming pointed towards a tall mountain towards their left. “Behind that mountain, there is an extremely large field. Mecha armies from our side are all within that battlefield. What they need to do there is to survive for three days, which is quite a difficult goal.”

“Luckily, it's Nameless who is leading the army. He's one of the 12 guardians. He reached this position not because of his physical skills, but because of his mecha piloting. He's the best at piloting among the 12 of us and has reached imperial level.”

“Imperial level? Can't he already fight on par with imperial realm formidable warriors with some of the 13 Lords? If he is that strong, why doesn't he just create his own organization,” Mu Chaoran said in surprise. Why would such a strong person willingly stay under Lord Gen's faction? It didn't make sense.

“You really think an imperial operator could fight against an imperial realm formidable warrior?” Ji Ming laughed coldly. “I watched with my own eyes an imperial operator getting instkilled against an imperial realm formidable warrior.”

“It's because of the mechas!” Zhao Jun could guess the reason why.

“Correct. The mechas in the Lawless Lands are essentially c.r.a.p. The true source of an imperial operator's strength is their mecha, without their mecha, they are just an empty husk. Plus, for an imperial mecha to fight on par with an imperial realm formidable warrior, they would need a top-cla.s.s imperial mecha. Fighting without one, would just be a matter of how long can they hold for.” Ji Ming sighed.

The other three finally understood the meaning behind Ji Ming's earlier words. On an equal playing field, the two could indeed fight on par. However, in the Lawless Lands, it was impossible. This was why the 13 Lords could sit calmly on their thrones. Even if a mecha operator was strong, without mechas to facilitate them, they still wouldn't be able to stand on the same level as the 13 Lords.

This explained why this Nameless imperial operator was among the 12 guardians of the rainbow palace. It wasn't because he didn't want to leave, but rather he didn't dare to leave. Especially after having a new Lord Gen. They still didn't know Ling Lan's real personality. None of them knew whether she was a merciless individual who would rather destroy them than to give them their freedom.

While they were speaking, the mixture of magistrates and succubi finally couldn't wait anymore.

“Blind b.i.t.c.h Ji, come out.” A forty-year-old or so black cloaked man with a cold expression on his face suddenly called out Ji Ming.

Ji Ming immediately raised his head and instantly laughed. “Oh hey, it's Black Sh*t.”

“I previously said one of these days I will take your life, and I'm telling you now that that day has come. Come out and die.” The black-cloaked man named Black Dirt, had a huge grudge against Ji Ming. From the way they called each other nicknames, it showed that they were already unable to handle each other's presence. It was just that in the past, when the 13 Lords were in good relations, they didn't have the chance to resolve this grudge. However, today, as enemies, they finally could start this life-or-death battle.

“Heh, I can say the same to you,” Ji Ming's eyes narrowed. He stepped forward and reached the center area.

Black Dirt flashed forward and appeared in front of Ji Ming.

“Their killing intent is very strong.” Zhao Jun frowned. “Are they really fighting to the death?”

“Of course. They wouldn't stop until one side dies.” Yu Shangfei, who had been silent for the entire time, began explaining it for them.

“I always thought the numbers of guardians, enforcers, magistrates, succubi and others are always set in stone. They would fight and at one point, they would stop. After all, you all are considered the most trusted subordinates of the lords. They wouldn't let you die easily,” Luo Lang was surprised.

“Indeed, the amount of guardians doesn't change. If someone dies, there would just be someone new to replace them. There are so many capable and strong people below us who are all wis.h.i.+ng that we would die sooner,” said Yu Shangfei.

This was the real situation with working under the 13 Lords. No one knew when they would die in the battlefield. Even the 12 guardians couldn't escape an outcome like that.

Luo Lang and the others could feel the mercilessness of the Lawless Lands from Yu Shangfei's words. If these people were in the central galaxy, with their capabilities, even if they couldn't become leaders of an organization, they would still become esteemed guests of such organizations. They would enjoy the privileges of the elites. Even if they were unlucky, they would still be able to live peacefully somewhere until they grow old. However, in the Lawless Lands, these people didn't know how many tomorrows they had. Perhaps, today was their last day in this world.

Although Luo Lang and the others wanted to get more information about the Lawless Lands, their opponents didn't allow them to as they invited them to fight to the death. They would fight until they could no longer fight. Of course, if someone was so weak, then they deserved to die.

At that moment, in the Li Fire Palace thousands of miles away, an uninvited guest appeared.

This uninvited guest entered without being asked to go in.

Lord Li, who was lying on his bed with his eyes closed while enjoying the service of his female servants, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked towards the empty hall and said coldly, “Since you are here, then why don't you show yourself.”

After those words were said, a silhouette slowly condensed out of the air. He wore a bright red cloak around him, but had a cold aura around him. The two extremes were actually oddly a good blend. When paired with that face, which was the epitome of human beauty, even rarely seen in books, it made Lord Li feel that the colours of the world solely existed for that one person.
