Because the Mecha he rode was already riddled with scars, in sheer desperation, Younger Haier finally seized the opportunity to self-destruct, and, in the instant of the explosion, he successfully jumped out of the Mecha and saved his own life.

This is experience, although the victory was not spectacular, the fact still illustrates the real difference between those who have been on the battlefield and those who have not.

However, post-battle, there were countless doubts from the spectators below; Younger Haier was a super soldier, after all, how could he be suppressed by two A-level fighters?

In fact, this isn't hard to understand; firstly, Younger Haier himself was at the Red Cloak elite stage, and he rode a standard model, plus he wasn't good at solo fighting, facing two people and psychological factors, performing this well was already quite impressive.

It should be noted, A-level rated players are just a step away from Red Cloak, and changing to high-end models, there really is no difference from Red Cloak, especially in a 2 vs 1 situation, this battle provided no advantage for Younger Haier.

Compared to the Haier Brothers, Dovir seemed much more at ease; it had been a long time since he had logged onto Star Wars, and he didn't expect that none of the settings had changed; but gaming and real combat are different. Unlike the Haier Brothers, as a solo Red Cloak, Dovir was proficient in both long-range and close combat, and this was under a 1V1 condition, even though his opponent was rated S, a real soldier and a virtual player still differ greatly.

Once Dovir boarded the Mecha, he instantly felt much more relaxed, since virtual Mechas wouldn't suffer unexpected malfunctions and lack the battlefield's complex accidental factors, with almost no effort, he easily defeated his opponent.

Angelina and Ophelia also fought very rhythmically; at this level, fights are mostly 1 on 1, and in solo combat, gaming experts are definitely different from real-world experts.

Such lackluster battles were probably still to come; with somewhat boring thoughts, Ophelia continued to choose matchmaking, and when the ID flashed instantly, her heart suddenly skipped a beat! Was this person... Hugo?

It could be said that during his time as a super soldier, Hugo's raw strength was the most terrifying, he was known as a top explosive presence among the Red Cloaks, and facing such a person, she not only lacked advantage but would also fall into a disadvantage, and the Mecha she was riding was also a standard model. She didn't expect to encounter Hugo in this battle!

Hugo's chosen model, beast-type Mecha — Beast

Ophelia's model, humanoid Mecha — Gun Rider

This duel instantly became the focus of public attention, and unexpectedly, not long after the match started, a conflict between federal super soldiers was staged. Although Hugo had already joined the Blazing Legion and was no longer a super soldier, his status in the hearts of federal people remained unshaken; he was still that hero bearing great love for his nation.

Once the Mecha selection was locked, settings could still be freely adjusted. While the two were still adjusting, the audience swarmed in, rapidly increasing in numbers like a rocket squad, and the district momentarily became a hot channel on live video streaming, even Grand was invited to the district as a guest.

Seeing Ophelia, Hugo was also slightly surprised, but Hugo didn't think much, and after a simple adjustment, he quickly clicked ready.

Shortly after Hugo clicked the match button, Ophelia also clicked ready, entering the countdown stage.

10, 9, 8, 3, 2...

Hugo initiated the attack first; his panther-like Mecha instantly charged towards the Gun Rider, launching a Black Tiger Heart Digging move with a swipe of its steel claws.

With a clang of collision, the Gun Rider countered with Silver Spear, typically offensive Ophelia, chose defense in that instant, unusually, and then pulled back some distance as if trying to draw the enemy out, but before she could land, the shadow-like panther launched a secondary pursuit, continuously pressing the attack.

Watching the increasing barrage below, the voice of the match host also echoed at the same time: "As the Holy Sword Finis super soldier pilot, Ophelia is renowned as a princess of close combat; why then does she hesitate to attack in this battle? I wonder if Colonel Grand could clarify this for everyone?"

"I dare not claim to clarify, but as a former ace, Ophelia's strength is not inferior to mine," Grand could provide some personal insights.

Clearly Grand still remained humble; even though he belonged to the White Cloak and had far more experience than Ophelia, his words were very diplomatic.

"Please, do tell," the host said.

Grand nodded with a smile, "On the surface, it seems that Ophelia is at the ace stage while Hugo is at the elite peak, but in reality, the gap between them is not that apparent."

"How should we understand your comment?" the voice of the host echoed, representing a question incomprehensible to the public.

Grand stated, "The late elite level stepping up one level is considered the military ace stage, being at the peak period, Hugo undoubtedly belongs to the super Red Cloak category, of course, he's just a small stage away from the extreme limit. Often, the extreme limit could leap two levels in combat, meaning an elite Mecha pilot under extreme conditions could even take on a mid-stage ace. Therefore, a super Red Cloak facing a White Cloak produces the same effect. We know that Hugo, in combat, leans towards extreme offense, commonly referred to as an 'explosion,' while Ophelia, although also an offensive type of soldier, her suppressive capability is far less sharp than Hugo's. Even if her level is slightly higher, it's only by a small margin, and doesn't present a clear advantage."

"Are you suggesting that this is a matching contest?"

"It can't be understood that way; Ophelia is good at attacking but lacks the initiative compared to Hugo, so facing an opponent better at attacking than herself, constraining is actually the best tactic."
