Even the shrimp couldn't resist shouting for Hugo to bring two drinks, Hugo graciously accepted, and as a result, the Mecha didn't spar with anyone, ending up drinking under the table.

This fellow focused so much on drinking and didn't eat anything, someone immediately commented that even a single peanut could have prevented this drunkenness, which suddenly brought a burst of laughter...

This great victory instantly brought everyone closer, originally as space pirates, the new soldiers also joined their brothers in the trenches for a hearty drink, some rolled up their sleeves, and others even took off their shirts, completely disregarding military appearance, but, who the hell cares about appearance on the frontline? They truly treated the Flame Corps as their own home.

Some even left mid-drinking to go to the leisure area to play computers—competing in games like StarCraft had apparently become a regular leisure activity after meals for the officers and soldiers. Of course, it wasn't just StarCraft; there was no shortage of people networked into Counter-Strike. This constituted a typical day for the Flame Corps.

The next day, during the week designated for rest and reorganization, the Flame Corps distributed job allowances on the second day, of course, the job allowance wasn't an issue, the issue was that it was several times that of other armies.

As the soldiers bravely fought, Feng Yi never forgot to distribute benefits. He was no capitalist, money wasn't that important to him. Even if he was worth millions, he remained himself, where the most he might do at a restaurant was order a couple more dishes.

Feng Yi was not a person to indulge materially and never considered spending money to buy health. Life, though precious, but... it's just that, damn it.

Compared to capitalists who spent money to buy health, their only reason to live longer was simply to enjoy life, extracting wealth from the lower strata and using this wealth to create more wealth. Feng Yi thought such people didn't need to live too long—what goes around comes around. Anyway, first pay the salaries, as soon as everyone heard that salaries were coming, those who knocked on bowls began knocking, and those who slammed bowls started slamming, making the group who loved to feast and drink ridiculously happy.

Early in the morning when he stepped outside the ship, inhaling the first breath of the crisp morning air, Feng Yi felt considerably more cheerful. The rhythm of war seemed to have been smoothed over quite a bit by the chill of winter and the autumn's breeze...

A stretch of green and a stretch of purple, on the other side of the hill, the glittering golden leaves and the snow underfoot seemed to transport him into a fairy-tale world—looking into the distance, the natives of the Twin Stars seemed to have also returned to their everyday lives, their activities orderly: those who needed to plow did so, and those who needed to sow did just that, as if the war had nothing to do with them.

This 7-hour surprise landing indeed struck a significant blow to Saudi's morale, but the situation wasn't as serious as the Federation had imagined. Saudi's main forces were primarily concentrated in the Space Fleet, which, in a sense, barely affected the direction of the war.

However, within hours after the battle, Kexiao and the Revenge Shadow Rider's actual battlefield records were intentionally broadcasted on Saudi media.

Mystery Shadow Rider seen on the battlefield?

A stone stirred a thousand ripples, each wave stronger than the last, the former wave breaks on the shore. Following the Flame Corps' swift incursion into the Twin Stars, the heat had not yet subsided when another news, no less explosive than a nuclear bomb, instantly dominated the headlines.

Of course, the appearance of the Revenge Shadow Rider wasn't the highlight; the focus was on Kexiao, whose strength was undoubted, and he fiercely proved his ability to face four Federation super soldiers alone without being at a disadvantage.

Jiu Ling and her team couldn't believe how deep Kexiao's abilities ran. If them managing to hold their own against those four was barely understandable, the thought of facing the Revenge Shadow Rider was unthinkable, considering the terrifying attacks Kexiao would have to endure.

Being at this level, they could vaguely discern some issues, Kexiao indeed seemed to be suppressing the Revenge Shadow Rider, although part of it might be due to the Revenge Shadow Rider's lack of stamina, but Kexiao definitely had the upper hand.

Xia Mu and the others initially knew that Kexiao had come out unscathed, but no matter how they asked, Kexiao just avoided the question, claiming it was nothing, just good luck. However, after seeing this video, the entire Saudi Military Department was shocked...

Although the battle did not last long, the reactions it provoked were far more explosive than any previous news. The world couldn't believe it, the federation couldn't believe it, even the Saudis themselves were in doubt.

It took the Saudi nationals quite a while to fully absorb the news—yes, Kexiao had proven himself. Not only was he the strongest champion towering over the world, but even the Revenge Shadow Rider couldn't affect him. Who else could stop Kexiao's advance?

There was a time when both Saudi and the world would automatically filter out the problem of the Revenge Shadow Rider when discussing the comparison of pilot strengths, avoiding the issue entirely. However, when it came to topics advantageous to our military, words would flow endlessly. To use an old saying, this was to sidestep the weighty issues and focus on the trivial.

But things were different now. Even the flip of a coin has its two sides. Shortly after the Saudi video was released, people began comparing the Revenge Shadow Rider with Kexiao. However, these amateurs couldn't clarify their points. The general idea was that although the Revenge Shadow Rider was very strong, so was Kexiao. He could defend against Kexiao's attacks, and Kexiao could also guard against his assaults, with some small advantages faintly present.

However, on the "Blood and Passion" professional forum, many different opinions could still be heard.

Netizens commented, "You can see the aggressive side of the Revenge Shadow Rider. From the start of the fight, he kept pressing Kexiao, even though both started their attacks at the same time. However, Kexiao's movements were a beat slower than the Revenge Shadow Rider's."

This group of netizens were veterans of professional forums and naturally understood the significance of being half a beat slower, which is crucial in the realm of combat—if both strike at the same time, the faster one wins.

Specifically because Kexiao had no initial attack advantage, he quickly realized this during his assault and skillfully shifted to a defensive stance, exhibiting extremely sharp thinking.

The reason was understandable. When Kexiao struck at the same time and realized he couldn't achieve his intended target, the Revenge Shadow Rider's attacks were always a bit faster. Even at a disadvantage, it was for Kexiao to bear first. Under such circumstances, the Revenge Shadow Rider's advantage would keep magnifying, leading to a continuous restraint. Therefore, Kexiao had no choice but to quickly fall back on defense.

Other netizens posted a dynamic image capture and said, "Pay attention to the image at 17 seconds. By then, Kexiao had already entered the pressing rhythm of the Revenge Shadow Rider, unable to make agile dodges. The mech kept showing a compressed state, and the degree of recoiling grew increasingly larger. Judging by the burst of the Revenge Shadow Rider, he could maintain the oppression without an issue, but..."

The captured image already revealed the problem. At that moment, the Revenge Shadow Rider's blade precisely stabbed Kexiao's gun, causing the white mech to stagger back. Unlike before, after the thrust, the Revenge Shadow Rider didn't recoil; however, his mech noticeably paused for half a second.

If the Revenge Shadow Rider had been repelled by the recoiling force, that would have been a different case, but he wasn't. This indicated that the Rider hesitated momentarily in his piloting. And for a top-tier pilot, an operational error was impossible.

Not just top-tier, even a Red Cloak pilot wouldn't make such a mistake under such favorable conditions of suppression, let alone the top-tier explosive warrior, the Revenge Shadow Rider. In other words, there must have been an unforeseen issue during the attack, whether with the mech or with his body.

And who was Kexiao? As another top-tier fighter, seizing a fleeting opportunity was effortless for him. Although the Rider's offensive momentum continued, his rhythm was indeed invisibly interrupted. In an instant, Kexiao launched a fierce counterattack against the Revenge Shadow Rider.

This seemingly ordinary counterattack should not deceive anyone. Each of Kexiao's strikes had a positioning and oppressive effect, leaving the Revenge Shadow Rider no chance to turn defense into offense, only to retreat further and further...
