She only had two choices: either collide with Shadow Rider or take a slow attrition approach by exploiting a defensive advantage. As her Mecha was still somewhat disadvantaged in speed, and coupled with the terrifying global insight of Revenge Shadow Rider, she simply couldn't manage to shake off her opponent effectively. The alternative was forced close combat.

Boom, boom...

As a result of multiple consecutive collisions, Jiu Ling's body could not withstand the continuous heavy blows. Even her hands controlling the Mecha completely fell off in an instant, and her buzzing brain, like it was suffering from an inadequate blood supply, went completely dark, briefly causing her to become deaf...

What people saw was Devil Angel, frozen in mid-air, motionless for several long seconds—a situation that was absolutely lethal for a super soldier.

Feng Yi knew that even though Jiu Ling was beaten so badly, she would definitely catch up. Her personality was somewhat stubborn. Resigned, Feng Yi followed with another kick that sent Devil Angel from the sky to the ground...

With the super Mecha's shock absorption system, Jiu Ling was not likely to die, but she was definitely incapacitated for a short period. There was no other way. With a roar of the engine, Revenge Shadow Rider immediately pursued towards the location of Xia Mu and another person from Black Fang...

It was uncertain if they could be caught at all; they had already left a little over 2 minutes ago, and even considering the speed of the black Mecha, it was hard to say.

Jiu Ling took a full two minutes to recover on the ground, Kexiao didn't even issue any further commands to her. He simply said that emergency personnel were on their way and then disconnected the Heavenly Communication.

Shaking her heavy head, thinking back on the collision, she didn't want to experience it a second time. If she had to describe the ordeal, it would definitely feel like being struck by a fast-moving armored vehicle—a force so intense it was unbearable.

But as harsh as the action was, he... indeed hadn't delivered a killing blow.

In fact, the moment Jiu Ling received the command from Kexiao, she could roughly guess this outcome. Although Revenge Shadow Rider did not play by ordinary rules, it was just a feeling. Thus, during the battle with Revenge Shadow Rider, Jiu Ling did not harbor a fear of death; rather, she felt even more pressure from it.

Meanwhile, the front doors of the Saudi Capitol Parliament had been knocked open by the Blazing Legion. The major families never imagined that these 9th generation Mechas could infiltrate Saudi covertly.

This was not due to a lax control at the Saudi spaceport. While 3000 soldiers seemed like a considerable number, a mere squeeze could fit them all in even a medium-sized shuttle.

After all,hundreds of shuttles came and went every single day at the Saudi spaceport. No one would pay attention to this inconspicuous little "fish". Coupled with spaceport staff slacking off during work hours, internal situations, Feng Yi's operations, and prior preparations, it didn't take much effort for the Blazing Legion to land on Capital Planet. It was unlikely that anyone could have linked this small shuttle to war so far fetchedly; they simply collected the fees and allowed it to pass through.

These 3000 men instantly transformed, creating a veritable torrent of steel. Under the commands of Apophis and Hugo, they first eliminated the Saudi's orbital satellites to prevent GPS targeting before even touching down. These known satellites had been precisely calculated by Eggy in advance.

Once the largest threats were neutralized, the remaining ground surveillance devices were ineffective in monitoring our forces, given that the endurance speed of 9th generation Mechas was only slightly slower than that of super soldiers. Not to mention combat or tracking, ordinary aircraft couldn't even keep up with their speed.

In this frantic, lightning-paced invasion, time was undeniably the most critical factor for the Blazing Legion. Upon landing, the soldiers did not hesitate in their rapid campaign. Within minutes, elite troops had breached the Saudi capitol, breaking through any intercepting forces they encountered. This operation, famously codenamed "High-Speed Raiders," was precisely why Raphael cherished it.

Looking back, Saudi's super soldiers had once strutted under the watchful eyes of the federation, but now, a mysterious force that had emerged from nowhere had brazenly stormed the Capital without explanation, and it was a corps made up of 9th-generation models.

Usually, wars progress gradually from the outside in, but this force completely subverted people's understanding, heading straight for the Capital. Anyone with a brain could guess what these soldiers intended to do.

At 3 PM, the doors of the Saudi Parliament were breached by the Blazing Legion, successfully capturing over a hundred senior generals, including five Sword Holders from various ruling parties, with the whereabouts of the remaining five unknown.

Clearly, Kexiao had already informed the remaining Sword Holders to quickly evacuate the Capital and hide their tracks. These were the real power brokers of Saudi, capable of issuing orders that impacted more than just an army.

Although the Revenge Shadow Riders had failed to catch up with the two Saudi super soldiers in time, neither Hei Feng nor Xia Mu managed to stabilize the situation before 3,000 of the Blazing Legion overtook the Parliament, turning the royal city into chaos...

The next command was nothing less than an order from the five lords exercising supreme executive power to halt any action by the local star domain's forces and to surrender without resistance.

Saudi senior generals never dared to confront the royal authority, well aware of the massive power these family parties held. Within just half an hour, most of the Capital's army had already surrendered in succession.

Of course, that was just one aspect. Half of the military and political power still rested in the hands of the other bigwigs, and at the same time, several of Saudi's resource planets also issued unconditional surrender signals...

This shocking turn of events made Kexiao's expression grow even grimmer. "What a Feng Yi," he thought, indeed a formidable foe that troubled him greatly. This move effectively halved Saudi's military capability, and what was worse, he couldn't leave his flagship; the Normandy fleet was constantly eyeing him, and any withdrawal might lead to a swift reduction or even collapse of his main forces, potentially further squeezing Saudi's already limited maneuverability.

It was too late for anything now. He had already ordered three super soldiers to return to the fleet beforehand. If they didn't return, even these three super soldiers might be destroyed by that incompetent parliamentary faction.

Fortunately, it was merely a surrender. The Saudi army wasn't foolish enough to turn their guns on themselves, and even the Imperial fleet received the surrender signal. But commands are less binding on a general in the field, and Kexiao could hardly think of letting such a pivotal force surrender unconditionally.

If even he surrendered, there was no hope left in this war, and what awaited Saudi would be hefty war reparations.

If he could stabilize the domestic situation now, there was still a war to be fought, the focus being on the Blazing Legion. Unfortunately, he couldn't leave. Leaving now would mean indirectly giving up the resource planets, and if he had to leave, he would need to take the fleet with him.

Faced with dual disadvantages, compared to the trivial resources of the planets, stabilizing the domestic situation was clearly the top priority. It seemed he only had the choice to temporarily retreat and quickly return home. Following his command, the Imperial fleet withdrew massively on the same day...

The moment he received news of the Imperial fleet's retreat, Feng Yi's heart inexplicably skipped a beat; his elite troops were probably in danger. Unlike those Imperial party leaders, Kexiao was definitely a commander adept at drastic measures. Now that he was returning home, he'd surely devise various ways to counter him. It must be known that the Blazing Legion was now deep in a foreign operation, a do-or-die situation. In terms of ancient terms, it was akin to a lightning raid at Muling Pass.

——

Within the federation, this widely known lightning battle had already spread across the world. People were immersed in a sea of joy, who could have imagined that the Blazing Legion would be able to thrust directly at the enemy's throat at such a critical moment, toppling the Capital and causing countless enemy troops to surrender without a fight!
