Chapter 248: Stripped Naked Humiliation

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Trash can win against Aces? William Napoleon suspected that he had a hearing problem as he stared at the fighter that had turned into a pile of scrap iron on the screen.

If it had not been a simulation, but a real fight instead...

William Napoleon raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead, whispering to himself, “I would be dead...”

Unbelievable, he couldn’t believe it!

The majestic Napoleon Aerial Combat Team, the first line of pilots among the Federation’s pride and honored flying team. He was the ace among aces yet he was blown up before they even took off.

Lin Jiaxuan raised her hand and covered her lips, hiding the happy smile on her face.

Trash? That’s right! It was Trash! Unfortunately, this trash referred to the trash from the Trash Battle Team of Federation’s first aerial battle team! A super aerial combat murderer that specialized in bringing down the ace among aces!

“Again!” William Napoleon’s sluggish eyes succumbed to a glimmer of unwillingness to surrender, “I made a mistake earlier! Again!”

Other recruits from Europe also showed the same dissatisfaction in their eyes. How is it possible for the first-line players of the Napoleon Aerial Combat Team to lose unless he made a mistake earlier?!

Qin Fen closed the hatch indifferently, wore his seat belt and once again appeared on the same airstrip as William Napoleon.

The signal light changed its color, allowing for takeoff.

At this moment, William Napoleon gathered all of his concentration! His hands moved faster than before. He didn’t want to experience failure again...

Boom...

A loud crash of the plane was heard suddenly. The cabin that William Napoleon was in quaked suddenly and his head slammed against the pilot seat, making constant ” dong ” sounds.

On the screen, the majestic fighter once again became the ruins of a burning flame.

OVER.

The four bright red letters were like blood that was about to drip.

William Napoleon’s recruits were once again stunned. The first time could be said to be a careless mistake, but what about the second time? The plane had not even taken off and it was already blasted into a pile of scrap iron on the runway.

I s it ability? William Napoleon shook his head constantly in fear of confirming. It couldn’t be that this recruit’s specialization is to fight before even taking off from the runway, right? I can’t even win against a mere East Asia recruit? No!

William Napoleon punched the sturdy console. No! I can win! I am the first-line ace from the aerial battle’s glorious Napoleon Aerial Combat Team! This time, I want to take off! I will take off before he launches the attack, and then kill him!

“Again!” William Napoleon yelled at the microphone.

Qin Fen did not speak, he only opened the passage of the battlefield.

Bang...

William Napoleon’s cabin once again had a huge quake. Before the wheels of his aircraft could leave the ground, it was blasted into pieces.

“Again...”

“Again...”

“Again...”

After the fifteenth round, William Napoleon finally stopped calling “again”. He sat in the driver’s seat, about to break down, and watched the fighter scream amongst the flames.

One round may be a mistake, but fifteen rounds... even fools would know that it was definitely not a matter of luck or mistake.

William Napoleon stared at the screen blankly. He used different kinds of battle tactics for take-off in each round, many of which were special take-off tactics meant for aerial battle ambushes.

William Napoleon would also often practice hurried take-offs in face of an opponent’s sudden attack from the air in the aerial battle network.

It could be said that besides the Federation’s top ace pilots, almost no one could stop him from taking off. Even if they had air advantages, they still wouldn’t be able to stop him.

However, today...

The opponent was always on the ground. There was not even any air advantage. Yet the opponent managed to defeat him to the point where he ran out of strategies, which trampled upon his proud confidence...

“A... again...” William Napoleon said into the microphone painfully, “This time, we shall take off at a different airport. Being in the Air Force, it is natural for us to let the skies decide who is king.”

After saying these words, William Napoleon felt heat on his cheeks. He would never be able to say these kinds of words on a typical day. Yet today, the opponent was indeed too peculiar. The Specter Fighter seemed to be an aerial mobile armor that had a fierce engine which was already prepped fully.

Qin Fen’s fingers pressed a few buttons on the console gently. The two were assigned to a different airport.

William Napoleon’s eyes also shone with an unprecedented murderous intent, as if he had hatred toward Qin Fen for killing his father, taking his wife and killing his son.

The plane flew off the ground. William Napoleon had the urge to cry out of excitement. He had felt this feeling a long, long time ago, during the first time he first operated a plane and took off from the ground.

He had long forgotten the joy of flying into the sky.

At this moment, the European recruits’ embarrassed expression finally smiled again. “William Napoleon was the king of the sky”, this was a comment that the Captain once gave.

“That’s...?”

Boom...

The cabin vibrated. A huge metal scrap iron fireball fell from the sky at high speed on the screen, crashing heavily into the mountains.

William Napoleon looked at the “over” appearing on the screen. He was stunned for a long time. What happened exactly in the aerial battle earlier? How did the technique in dodging missiles have a sense of martial arts in it? Instead of the routinely used aerial battle evasion technique?

While catching the opportunity of launching the missile, William Napoleon had already calculated all possible evasive techniques, position, and status that Qin Fen could use. At the same time, he had also worked out all the corresponding tactics!

Regardless of the angular position of the Specter Fighter, he could definitely shoot it down with a predetermined tactic.

However, when the Specter Fighter floated up and down earlier, it gave off a feeling of a mythical dragon dancing in the clouds. Not only did the special skill that had never been seen before disrupt all his pre-determined arrangements, it even counterattacked him into defeat.

The tactic earlier? William Napoleon’s eyes were twitching constantly. What kind of operation technique is needed to do it? Was the operation earlier a last-minute stunt? Or was it an evasion technique that had long been practiced? It has never appeared in the aerial battle.

Those who were even more surprised than William Napoleon were the other spectators.

Lin Jiaxuan covered her lips gently. She also showed surprise in her eyes. Qin Fen had not conducted aerial combat recently. It would be surprising enough if his ability did not deteriorate, but how did it have a new breakthrough?

An ace pilot flying in an aerial battle was required to practice every day. If they were absent from the cockpit for too long, even an ace pilot could be shot down by an ordinary pilot.

However, this law was broken.

Lin Jiaxuan knew very well that Qin Fen’s life these days did not allow for any time to practice aerial battles.

“This... one more time...”

William Napoleon did not give up and sent an invitation over with the microphone. The tone of his voice showed that he had yet to recover from the earlier defeat.

Soon, William Napoleon’s cabin trembled again as a fireball fell from the air.

This time, William Napoleon felt that the way the opponent moved had the shadows of the Arhat Fist Dragon Guard. He only managed to rid this absurd thought from his head after shaking his head forcibly.

“This... one more time...”

“This... one more time...”

“Again! Again! Again!”

It was shot down again and again. Each evasion technique used was never heard of before. William Napoleon dodge methods were unheard of. William Napoleon had lost to the point where he was almost demonized, he only wanted to win once! Just once!

No matter what, he just wanted to win once!

“I will play a hundred rounds with you today. If you win one round, we shall take it as your win. But don’t worry, I will win all the hundred rounds.”

Qin Fen’s cold prophecy traveled through the headset.

One hundred rounds? William Napoleon’s face went extremely cold. There were countless accidents that could happen in aerial combats. Besides the madmen in this world, not many others would dare to speak such words.

“Okay! Recruit of East Asia, I shall see how you beat me into a hundred to zero.”

William yelled at the microphone in anger. His hands scrambled to operate the plane as he wanted to take off into the air before Qin Fen.

However, Qin Fen always managed to take off first, as if he was a cat waiting for a mouse playfully.

Ten rounds, twenty rounds, thirty rounds, seventy rounds, ninety rounds... ninety-nine rounds...

The recruits from Europe showed dismay in their eyes.

They came with the ambition of winning the championship, yet it resulted in them being ravaged and humiliated by the recruits of East Asia, the place with probably the weakest Air Force...

They were in the ninety-ninth round, and William Napoleon had never even won once. The proud sky was filled with cracks. If it wasn’t for his strong desire to win, the courage to go for the hundredth round would have been long gone.

The hundredth round, begin!

William Napoleon’s throat made a monstrous growl, his hands operated the console almost to the point of getting cramps.

Even if he lost! He had to at least win in the speed of take-off! Napoleon’s Aerial Battle Team was forever unbeaten!

William Napoleon’s fighter rose into the sky. He did not see Qin Fen take off the fighter as usual.

We won! William Napoleon’s arrogance rose and he hurriedly flew his plane toward Qin Fen’s airport.

Soon enough, Qin Fen’s airport appeared in the eyes of William Napoleon. The Specter Fighter that had shot him down ninety-nine times was sitting quietly on the runway, it did not take off!

“This is?” William Napoleon was stunned. Qin Fen’s plane only started moving then.

“You dare to humiliate me like this!”

William Napoleon gave a rough groan. This was obviously the method he used in usual practices, where he waited for the opponent to occupy air advantage to battle in takeoff.

In the past, using other people as his practice object was something William Napoleon had always been extremely proud of. This was a privilege that only the ace of the aces had!

That feeling was like God looking down at the ants the ground.

When the usual angle of perception was reversed, William Napoleon felt anger in his chest for the first time. This was a blatant humiliation! This was a move that sees the other person as a rookie!

“Explode!” William Napoleon didn’t bother being nice. He immediately launched his strongest attack. Six air-to-ground missiles went toward the Specter Fighter directly. The plane turned at high speed in the air at once, using an incredibly challenging angle of movement change to prevent Qin Fen from rushing out among those missiles and hitting his muzzle.

“No explosion.”

Qin Fen’s calm voice was heard amidst the fierce battle. His plane went through the group of missiles and rushed toward the angle position that William Napoleon predicted.

“Explode!”

William Napoleon counted the time to fire the air-to-air cannon accurately, its flames roaring wildly.

At the right time, with the right angle, he grasped his chance to attack! William Napoleon’s heart finally had increased in joy. The explosion of the fighter should happen in the next minute.

“No explosion.” Qin Fen’s calm voice sounded so irritating at that moment!

“Then proceed to give me an explosion!” William Napoleon had also gotten used to Qin Fen’s high difficulty evasions. His hands once again started to operate. He realized that Qin Fen had made a huge mistake this time due to his winning streak. He only brought one cannon — he did not bring any other weapons!

Without the aid of a variety of weapons, the tactics of an aerial battle would be extremely limited. All he had to do was to focus on this cannon.

For the first time, William Napoleon had the upper hand, or it should be said that Qin Fen deliberately gave him the upper hand. The two fighters were like swallows, changing various tactics in the air rapidly.

The East Asia recruits and the recruits from Europe were stunned by this. This was an aerial battle that had tactics that were way beyond their standards. Even in the Napoleon Aerial Combat Team, it was hard to see these kinds of chasing and counter-chasing attack tactics.

The battle was still going on. William Napoleon’s forehead was all sweaty. This high-intensity operation was not only pushing the limits of the physical body, but it also consumed the spirit. The Specter Fighter was like the sneakiest loach. Each and every trick it made was unpredictable; regardless of how one combined tactics, one would still be unable to hit it.

Qin Fen’s face also showed sweat. William Napoleon, who had entered madness, finally showed an unprecedented level of strength that caused Qin Fen to also feel a tremendous pressure. This kind of pressure had not appeared for a long time.

Time was flying by. Everyone was staring at the screen nervously, anxious to know whether the strength of capture or the escape ability of the Specter Fighter was stronger. It had really reached a point like no other.

Suddenly, the fighter that William Napoleon was operating stopped moving!

Or perhaps, it was still moving forward. It was just that... the way of movement was like a meteor falling at high speed.

All the battle spectators were stunned. Even if he didn’t manage to hit the Specter Fighter, there was still no need to commit suicide, right?

William Napoleon, who was in the plane, looked at the display with a darkened face, and scowled in hatred, “Shit!”

The flight resources of the fighter had been used up...

For an extremely difficult flight technique, it was natural for higher consumption in flight resources. In the fierce battle earlier, both parties had shown their incredible skills, and the resources were consumed rapidly.

It was only at this moment that William Napoleon realized why Qin Fen had almost no weapons during this last battle, only had one of the lightest cannons.

It was because he didn’t plan to fire at all! It was to reduce the fighter’s weight to its lightest! It was to conserve energy!

A heavy burden would naturally lead to higher energy consumption! With no weapons, there would be no burden!

Humiliation! This was the real blatant humiliation! The previous ninety-nine rounds really could not be considered as shame!

A pilot who was the ace of the aces was actually lured to the point where he used up all his resources without even noticing.

It wasn’t because the fighter had no resource alert device, it was just that Qin Fen was too difficult to get a hold of so that William Napoleon was focusing two hundred percent of his attention on him and did not hear the alarm of the reporting device.

It was only until the fighter was completely out of control did William Napoleon come to his senses. He looked at the rapidly approaching ground with disappointment. It was already too late, even the captain of the Trash Battle Team did not flip... the captain of the Trash Battle Team? Trash?

Bang...

The cockpit shook greatly, yet William Napoleon did not feel it at all. His mind kept replaying the words Qin Fen said when he first won, “I am just a piece of trash...”

Trash! Trash! Trash! William Napoleon woke up as if he was in a dream. The opponent was actually from their mortal enemy, the Trash Team!
