The person in charge of the handover took out the communicator in his hand and connected to the communication channel of the students.
"Everyone, please alight from your mecha for the time being. There will be a staff member who will be in charge of transporting your mecha into the fortress.
"Everyone, our fortress is having an energy exchange with another one at this time. It's currently very dangerous so please follow me into the safe area and familiarize yourself with the environment."
As he said that, his face turned serious and he gave them a serious reminder, "During this period, do not leave the fortress. Otherwise, none of us will be responsible for what happens to you!"
When some of the students heard those words, they laughed lightly in disdain.
"What danger can there be? At the very least, we are still mecha pilots!"
"This is making a mountain out of a molehill. Don't tell me we can't guarantee our own safety with our mecha?"
"That's right, this is looking down on us too much!"
Wang Yangming heard the conversation of these students and did not pay any attention to it.
'How would a greenhouse flower grow without first experiencing some difficulty?!'
On the other side, after Qin Yue heard this, he could not help but have a lot of doubts in his heart.
When Wang Yangming and the handover staff talked about the energy exchange, their faces subconsciously turned serious.
Obviously, the entire process would be very dangerous for those involved.
Qin Yue, who did not understand the situation, looked at his tutor to seek an answer.
Seeing his inquisitive expression, Wang Yangming explained calmly.
"The energy of the fortress is very attractive to Alien Beasts.
"If Alien Beasts obtain the radiation energy of the fortress, they can use the energy to easily evolve into a more dangerous one of higher rank!
"And there is enough energy in this fortress for hundreds of Alien Beasts to feed on!"
As soon as those words left his lips, the few people who felt a little disdainful just now all sucked in a few breaths of the cold air.
They might be able to deal with a few Alien Beasts at a time, but against an Alien Beast tide... They would probably be smashed to a pulp alongside their mechas!
Qin Yue's reaction was the complete opposite of theirs.
When he heard about the Alien Beast tide, Qin Yue instantly realized that it was a good opportunity to complete the mission objectives.
At the same time, it was also a rare chance to temper his skills.
"Students, the energy transfer had just begun not long ago so all of you should follow me into the safe rooms first!"
Qin Yue did not directly reject the staff's arrangement for them to enter the mobile fortress, instead, he walked to Wang Yangming's side and asked.
"Teacher, since our mission for coming to the desolate star trial is to hunt Alien Beasts, can we use this opportunity to complete this mission?"
The students around Qin Yue cast astonished gazes at Qin Yue when they heard his words.
"That... That monster. Qin Yue, this involves more than just one or two beasts. Yet he still dares to go out there?"
"Fifty beasts. He can't possibly think of completing it in one go, right?"
"Forget it! Qin Yue and his squad aren't on the same level as us. Their mentality is different from ours!"
"If you guys had the strength of their squad. I reckon you'd want to go too!"
The students could not help but feel a trace of shame when they heard those words.
After all, as top-notch students, the gap between them and Qin Yue was indeed insurmountable.
After Wang Yangming heard what Qin Yue said, he did not deny it.
With Qin Yue's strength and the Sky Hunter Mecha, if it were just some Disaster-level Alien Beasts, Wang Yangming still had confidence that Qin Yue might be able to do it.
After that, Wang Yangming glanced at the seven squads and said.
"Hunting Alien Beasts comes with many dangers. If you have any concerns, you can return to the safe rooms first."
"As for those who have the same courage as Qin Yue, you can take advantage of the effects of the castle's energy exchange to hunt Alien Beasts!"
"You can decide on your own. I won't interfere with your decisions."
Other than Qin Yue's squad, the other six squads looked at each other and lowered their heads one after another.
It was not that they did not have the courage, but they knew their own limitations. There was no way they could deal with a large group of Alien Beasts.
"For those who want to hunt Alien Beasts, you may discuss a strategy with your squad. Those who don't want to participate may stay in the safe rooms for now. After familiarizing themselves with the environment, each squad will look for a suitable opportunity to hunt Alien Beasts."
After Wang Yangming finished his explanation, Qin Yue looked at Ling Ru, Tang Lin, Li Yanyan, and Wang Jun...
Ling Ru understood that Qin Yue wanted to ask for their opinions. Without a thought, she spoke up.
"Qin Yue, don't worry. We're a team. We'll advance and retreat together!"
"Brother Qin Yue, all the three of us feel the same way. We'll advance and retreat together."
Li Yanyan and the others followed closely to respond.
When he heard their replies, the corners of Qin Yue's mouth curled up slightly. As expected, he had not misjudged their characters.
"Don't worry, everyone. We'll bring our mecha out for a warm-up first, then we can go to where the energy exchange is happening to assess the situation and level of the Alien Beasts."
"If there really is a danger of death, I won't lead us to our deaths!"
Hearing that, Ling Ru was unhappy. She crossed her arms in front of her chest with a proud look on her face and said angrily, "Hmph, don't underestimate us. We aren't afraid!"
"Little Brother Qin Yue, we're not that weak alright!"
Qin Yue could not help but shake his head and laugh at their replies.
He did not expect them to have such bravado. He had underestimated Ling Ru and the others.
"Alright, then before we take action, let's understand each other's battle styles."
Following that, Qin Yue was the first to speak.
"My Sky Hunter is good at close combat. Of course, it's also capable of long-range fire support!"
"Assault type, close combat," Wang Jun followed up.
Tang Lin pointed at a specially made rifle on the back of her mecha and said, "I'm piloting a Devastator type, so I'll be in charge of long-range firepower support!"
Ling Ru added, "Mine is a High-speed type, good at wandering on the battlefield and hit and run tactics."
"Mine is the same as Sister Ling Ru's. It's also the High-speed type. It's also good at providing support," Lin Yanyan said softly.
After the introduction was completed, Qin Yue nodded and continued.
"Alright, then Wang Jun and I will be responsible for fighting head-on. Ling Ru, Yanyan, you guys will be responsible for restraining and killing any beasts that get past me and Wang Jun. When necessary, you guys can also support us.
"Tang Lin will try her best to be in charge of sniping and supporting us from the safe zone between Wang Jun and me.
"Once we begin fighting the Alien Beasts, we must not leave each other's sight!
"This is only a basic outline of our plan. Once the fight begins, there will be many changes. We will act according to the situation!"
Just like that, after a short exchange, a basic fighting formation was agreed on.
"Roger!"
"Understood..." the few of them replied one after another.
"Let's go. Our target is the energy rendezvous point of the Mobile Fortress!"
The five of them set off one after another, piloting the mecha towards their destination.
Wang Yangming placed his hands on his back, watching as the five-man squad left the port.
From the side, the staff responsible for the handover looked at Wang Yangming, who did not move, and could not help but feel a little puzzled.
Under normal circumstances, when a student carried out a mission for the first time, he would be accompanied by a tutor to prevent any accidents from happening.
Yet that tutor did not seem to have any intention of leaving.
After waiting for a long while, the staff member saw that Wang Yangming still had not made a move, so he could not help but remind him.
"Sir, should we go after them?"
As he heard the staff member's reminder, Wang Yangming said with a smile.
"Move out? Hmm, It's indeed time to move out. Otherwise, we won't be able to enjoy their performance if we're late."
The staff member's mouth could not help but twitch when at Wang Yangming's words.
'Enjoy the battle?
'Are you out of your mind?! It'd be good enough if those students aren't already beaten to a pulp by the Alien Beasts. Yet you still expect a performance out of them?'
However, he only thought about it in his heart and did not say it out loud.
After all, this was something out of his control.
