Once caught in such a comprehensive encirclement and blockade, it would be very difficult to escape, especially since even the Revenge Shadow Rider's Flame Dual Slash only produced a crescent-shaped coverage area.
But who was Kexiao? His expression had never known peace as he controlled the Savior; his hands suddenly created trails of afterimages. With the aid of the auxiliary propulsion device, the mecha twisted and turned as if unbound by physics, maintaining a nearly indescribable parallel position while flipping and evading the attacks, followed by a sweeping strike…
Ophelia raised her sword to block, and her mecha was immediately shaken and sent flying by the pre-emptive attack… However, the joint intervention of the three managed to delay Kexiao by 0.3 seconds, causing his attack to miss once again.
At the same time, the Savior kicked fiercely at the flank of the Sky Demon...
Boom! The Sky Demon's defensive mecha shook violently as it coiled up, retaliating with a sword swing toward Kexiao's position, but the attack missed. Instead, Angelina, seeing an opportunity for a lethal blow, swept out with a leg, once again pushing back the Savior.
Ophelia quietly exhaled. That was really close, she thought. She could feel her heart beating at that instant. If not for the timely intervention of the three, she might have thought she was done for.
Of course, Kexiao was panting and sweating too! For a moment, he fell silent… It had to be said that none of these opponents were easy to handle.
First, there were the Haier Brothers. They seemed to be the weakest, with damaged mechas and strength that was even only at the latter stage of Red Cloak, but their ability to restrain opponents was often the strongest, and their seamless cooperation made it difficult for their enemies to find any openings.
The Sky Demon also possessed mental ability shocks, and although mental power fluctuations had minimal effect on a warrior of his level, it still influenced him to an extent. In a duel situation, it might be different, but this was not a duel; it was a team battle—aware that while he handled Angelina, Ophelia and the watchful Haier were nearby, so he couldn't afford to reveal more openings.
As for Ophelia, she was orthodox, and while such a warrior might be strong in raw power, among the three she was the least distinctive. To describe her with a phrase – she would be a cleaver at the front line, not worth fearing, and would only take time. However, the problem was that it was difficult for one to make a move when the opponents were clustered together.
"Is this still not possible..."
Kexiao murmured to himself, looking at the two approaching Mobile Fighters on the display. He knew that if those two were added to the mix, his situation would become quite passive, and it seemed that a temporary retreat was his only option.
He had no idea how the ground battle was faring, but this was the best course of action. His job was to hold off the Federation super soldiers for as long as possible, leaving the main ground forces to cope with the five Saudi super soldiers.
Kexiao was just one person, no matter how powerful; there was a limit to the strength he could exert. But super soldiers were a collective entity—the idea of a turning point for the twin stars was non-existent. He said that only to steady the morale of the ground troops and to push the Saudi super soldiers to eliminate the Federation's living forces, buying as much time for them as possible.
As soon as he left, it would also signal the Saudi ground troops to sound the retreat.
After all, the space fleet and the ground forces complemented each other and hardly could stand alone. The space fleet could only avoid being flanked during battle if the ground forces were tied down – and only with ground forces in defense could the space fleet avoid a large-scale airborne assault. The sudden descent of the Flame Legion was an unexpected development.
Seeing two more people joining the fray, the fight became unwinnable. Continuing would result in a 1V6 situation, and the chances of victory were slim. Considering this, Kexiao hesitated no more and piloted the Savior to leap backward out of the battle, the engines roaring as he fiercely accelerated into the depths of space...
Ophelia was eager to pursue, but she was quickly stopped by Angelina, who was the squad leader, "No need to chase."
"This man is very dangerous. If we allow him to escape today, I fear..." Ophelia didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.
Angelina's voice, usually devoid of joy or sorrow, unexpectedly carried a trace of regret, "Ah! If he wanted to leave, with our current state, we really can't stop him."
As they were talking, the communication channel suddenly received a request on our military's frequency. Upon opening it, they found out that two familiar faces had arrived, causing Angelina's brows to furrow... Could it be that if those two hadn't shown up, that guy might not have left? They were really being underestimated.
Zhang Xiaobo and Elvis lunged at nothing, and the plump man, with eyes as lifeless as a dead fish, asked weakly, "Where's the person?"
"He's already gone."
"Oh, I see." Fat Tiger's voice, full of despair, seemed to have grown accustomed to such responses, and said, "When did he leave?"
"Just now."
So, Younger Haier briefly recounted what had happened, in short, if the two men hadn't come, their situation might have indeed been somewhat dangerous today, after all, this mysterious pilot was outrageously abnormal. Of course, they hadn't felt this kind of pressure even when facing Gasol as Sky Shadow was there and was part of the main force, which was probably one of the main factors.
Hearing this, the plump man broke down in tears...
Elvis, of course, cried with laughter because they quickly received the next support order, to assist in the battle on the twin stars. It's known that the terrestrial battlefield on the twin stars was fiercely contested, even Revenge Shadow Rider was there, which could mean that Kexiao might also appear. If he did, even Revenge Shadow Rider might be in danger.
Upon receiving the orders, six mechas immediately flew towards Planet A…
But they were super soldiers with ion propulsion devices, equipped for sustained acceleration, while what they had were 9th generation models. Not to mention whether they could make it to the battlefield, it was probably very risky the moment they would enter the atmosphere—by the time they arrived, everything might be over.
The two quickly conveyed this thought to the Military Department. The good news was that the Assembly 9th Generation was fully capable of handling the acceleration and landing process, but considering efficiency factors, it was decided that the two should board a nearby escort ship and rapidly descend to the battlefield on Planet A.
The Saudi space forces had already begun a large-scale retreat, with the battle on Planet B also going exceptionally well at this time.
On the battlefield of Planet A, the fierce combat between super soldiers continued, but with the return of Silver Mary, any advantage the Revenge Shadow Rider had was now gone...
Even though Kexiao was fighting four at once as was Revenge Shadow Rider, their styles of combat were obviously different.
Kexiao preferred a style that allowed him to advance and retreat freely, integrating offense and defense and focusing on technique; his strength lay in being extremely well-rounded.
Revenge Shadow Rider was different, his attacks were sharper, and his methods seemed richer than Kexiao's—not only was his burst power high, but he never lacked technique. It was evident in Augustins' Army Breaking Slash, Revenge Shadow Rider's explosive attack, attempting to overwhelm with sheer power.
Unfortunately, Shadow Rider underestimated Xia Mu's level. He hadn't expected that Xia Mu was a pilot with a mid-to-late ace realm capability, and with Silver Mary also in the middle phase, along with Black Peak in the early-to-mid phase, and Jiu Ling in the later phase, this caused Feng Yi to be completely unable to suppress them in his burst state, managing only to barely maintain equilibrium.
It's known that the hand-to-hand combat level of these individuals exceeded the average of the four from the Federation by a notch, but it was precisely because of Feng Yi's terrifying offensive output, with Augustins' Army Breaking Kill at full momentum, that even the four Saudi aces couldn't do much to Feng Yi at the moment.
Nevertheless, Feng Yi knew he could not keep dragging this out. With each of the four already at their physical limits, the addition of just one more opponent would spell his end, so he had to find an easy target and swiftly shift the situation.
Then clang clang clang, three consecutive sword strikes; Xia Mu was completely stunned, as all three strikes were aimed at him, and he couldn't even begin to parry the third. In a critical moment, it was Jiu Ling and Silver Mary who forcefully blocked the strike.
Unfortunately for Xia Mu, not only did he become the target of Apophis's surprise attack, but after all the battling, he once again became the primary target of Revenge Shadow Rider...
