It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

1419 Speaking With Someone Who Is Smar

“Don’t kill them,” Ling Lan ordered decisively.

Luo Lang was originally planning on destroying one of the mechas. After hearing Ling Lan’s orders, he immediately stopped his sword mid-slash. Instead, he began to evade the flurry of swords coming at him.

Afterimages of Luo Lang’s mecha were formed. With unbelievable movements, he managed to escape from the pincer attack of the two mechas from his two blind spots.

At the same time, without any prior preparations, he used the strength of his arms to execute a True Whirlwind Strike.

This was considered a special technique which was done with no signs of preparations. The explosive nature made it impossible to defend against.

The unexpected attack made the two mechas unable to evade in a timely manner.

Bang! Bang! The two of them were struck by the large sword in the whirlwind. The two mechas flew backwards before smashing to the ground.

Luo Lang closely chased after them. The large sword in his hand ruthlessly slashed towards the mecha closest to him.

He chose to slash at the chest of the mecha because he remembered Boss’s orders. The hip area and the cockpit were connected to the operator’s lifeline. If he wished to finish them in one hit, he would choose to hit them either on the hip or cockpit first but this time, he was not gunning for that.

The chest was where the engine was situated. Once that was destroyed, it would turn the mecha into a giant piece of junk. It was clear that attacking them on the chest was the best choice if they wanted to leave them alive. However, the chest was where it was the most fortified. If the power of the attack wasn’t stronger than its defensive strength, then the attack wouldn’t do anything to it.

However, for Luo Lang, it wasn’t a difficult thing to do, especially when he was piloting a mecha Chang Xinyuan had modified for the brigade leaders, no, regiment commanders. All of its specifications were not far off from top-class imperial mechas.

Luo Lang’s attack was quick, giving his opponent no chance to react. Right as he was about to land his attack, a white light suddenly shot out from the forest. It moved towards Luo Lang’s back.

A sneak attack!

Luo Lang seemed to not have realized it as he continued to slash his large sword down towards the mecha below him.

Bang! The large sword struck the chest area of the mecha below Luo Lang, causing sparks to fly. The armor on the chest of the mecha was instantly cut open, showing the metal parts and wiring with sparks flying out.

It was a clear indication of Luo Lang achieving what he wanted to do.

When that white light was about to hit Luo Lang’s mecha, it was suddenly intercepted by another white light. It didn’t harm Luo Lang’s mecha one bit.

The person who made a move was Ling Lan. Luo Lang trusted that Boss would definitely protect him, and Ling Lan was definitely not going to stand by and watch as his underling got ambushed.

After achieving the desired result, Luo Lang stomped on the ground with his mecha’s right leg. His mecha then flew up in the air and the large sword in his hand ruthlessly slashed towards the other mecha that was preparing to stand up.

Right as Luo Lang’s sword reached that mecha, a large mecha suddenly rushed out of the forest with a sharp spear. The sharp spear pointed its tip towards Luo Lang’s mecha’s cockpit.

Bang!

A loud bang was heard. The force behind the spear was astounding. The entire ground actually shook which caused dust to fly up into the air, lowering the visibility of the area.

Immediately after, there was another loud ‘bang’ followed by the sound of cracked metal.

After the dust slowly settled, the scene in front of them could finally be seen clearly.

Ling Lan was on one knee, with her right hand pushing down a mecha onto the ground. The mecha Ling Lan held down was flailing its limbs, struggling to get up. However, no matter what it did, it couldn’t get out from the seemingly weak hold of her right hand.

In front of Ling Lan, Luo Lang stood there with one hand holding his sword hilt downwards. The tip of the large sword had already stabbed into the chest of the mecha laying on the ground. It was clear that it passed through the mecha and stabbed into the ground.

In just an instant, these people took out two of their mechas. When their leader appeared, he was also held down by the opponent using only one hand with no chance of fighting back.

No matter if it was the three mechas that were fighting Li Lanfeng, or the mecha that Luo Lang had sent flying earlier, all stopped fighting immediately. They all fixated their gaze on Ling Lan in unplanned unison and their disheveled leader. They could only stand there and watch.

He was undoubtedly the strongest out of all them to be able to become their leader. However, their strongest mecha operator couldn’t even go one round with the opponent and was even easily held down by them. This difference in power made these scavengers understand that these three mecha operators weren’t ordinary mecha operators. No, they weren’t even part of the strongest elite ace operators working under the 13 Lords... Were they some of the legendary imperial operators who guarded the 13 Lords?

They were all veterans in the Lawless Lands, so they clearly knew of the exalt status of imperial operators in the Lawless Lands. In reality, there were quite a lot of imperial operators in the Lawless Lands. However, each of them were considered to be their own boss. These imperial operators were known to the public as the strongest individuals after the 13 Lords.

These imperial operators were much stronger than those titled domain realm formidable warriors. Titled domain realm formidable warriors were at most the guards or butlers of the 13 Lords and were still considered servants. However, imperial operators, other than those under factions, had signed contracts with the 13 Lords to cooperate. Even if one was to join the ranks of the 13 Lords, they would be given the status of guests to the 13 Lords. Not only would they have actual power, they would also be given the freedom that everyone in the Lawless Lands hoped to acquire.

An imperial operator was enough to take out their entire scavenger team, not to mention three of them. No matter how many people they had, it wouldn’t be enough for these three to play around with.

Mecha scavengers were people who would lower their dignity to the strong, because they knew what they had to do to survive in this harsh environment. When they realized that they couldn’t win, they wouldn’t waste time and would just beg for their lives instead.

The leader of the group struggled for a moment. After discovering that he indeed didn’t have any chance to escape, he stopped, surrendered and smiled bitterly. “Duke, I surrender. I won’t try to escape. If you have anything you want to ask, I will definitely cooperate, so can you please let me go?”

‘Duke’ was the respectful way of calling imperial operators in the Lawless Lands. It was a show of status.

While the leader was struggling, he still calmly contacted his two comrades who had been struck. After discovering they were alive, being the smart man he was, he quickly guessed what Ling Lan and them wanted from them. This leader decisively chose to cooperate since their lives were in their opponents’ hands.

Mecha scavengers didn’t want to die unless they couldn’t escape from it. It was because there were still family members who needed them to take care. They couldn’t just die like that.

“You’re very smart. I like speaking with smart people,” Ling Lan said indifferently while loosening her right hand. She then slowly piloted her mecha to stand up.
