The opponent's attack was too fierce. Jiu Ling didn't dare to fight back directly, and hastily rolled towards the ground to avoid the Shadow Rider's thrusting assault. She grabbed her laser gun and fired a shot at the Shadow Rider, accompanied by a sharp squeak and a loud bang!
Within the high-speed chase, the Shadow Rider quickly dodged to the side, but its foot slipped—causing it to plunge into the snow in an uncontrolled tumble.
Boom! It hit the arm directly. The outer armor of the Revenge Shadow Rider's left arm was blackened. Sparks flew off the mecha's arm where one could see a faint electrical current occasionally passing through. The Federation netizens felt a shudder in their hearts; they were well aware that the Shadow Rider wasn't skilled at long-range shots, and it seemed to be in big trouble now.
Seeing the situation, Jiu Ling used her old tactics and fired another two shots.
Whoosh! The Shadow Rider, dodging in place with a Tomas spin, suddenly rose. With the roar of engines, before Jiu Ling could fire her third shot, the Revenge Shadow Rider leapt forward with supreme speed, closing the distance in an instant.
It was going too fast; this was a skill only advanced drivers could master. Without thinking, Jiu Ling pulled her gun back. It wasn't due to fearing how strong the Shadow Rider was, but she knew engaging in close combat on this surface with the bulky Revenge Shadow Rider would be to her disadvantage. She quickly decided that she had to relocate the battlefield as soon as possible.
While restraining the Shadow Rider, Sha Meng also launched a rush attack, trying to escape from the snowy area quickly. Unfortunately, he couldn't shake off the Shadow Rider's lock, and his heart-touching micro-operations always made the right choice at the crucial moment, cleverly avoiding the laser beams.
Amid the squeaks and booms, the ground was littered with bullet holes wherever they passed, and waves of green smoke continuously rose...Two equally matched mechas were racing towards another hell.
This was the rhythm of a chase and fight. The officers in the space station were speechless. Had Jiu Ling killed or cooked the Shadow Rider's Big Yellow? She was so tenacious. The Federation netizens also felt dumbfounded, but no one laughed because they all knew that the Shadow Rider wasn't good at long-range shooting, which equated to a loss of half its life. In light of the damage to its arm, it was like salt in the wound, so it was quite normal for it to make a move.
Just when Sha Meng changed direction, the Shadow Rider suddenly thrust its feet down, leapt into the air, and swung its sword upward. With a sudden movement, it launched an attack on its opponent.
What…What the hell?! The Phantom Knight 0001 model was heavy; how did it get to her side while in motion? The Shadow Rider moved too fast and too suddenly, catching Jiu Ling off guard. It was like a frightened child suddenly finding the courage to run and call for their father.
She didn't have time to think. Clank!
She blocked the attack. As expected of the Saudi Red Cloak, even without any experience in actual battle, Jiu Ling accurately nullified the attack. Indeed, why would she lose to an ordinary player? Due to the fierceness of the offensive, the backlash forced Sha Meng's mecha to stagger back several steps...
But, it wasn't over yet. Before Jiu Ling could reposition her mecha, another Alpha heavy kick came—followed by a large thud. Caught off guard, Sha Meng was sent flying by the Shadow Rider's thunderous kick, with Jiu Ling almost glued to the control platform. The mecha shattered the ice surface and fell heavily into the snow.
The Shadow Rider silently looked at Sha Meng, showing no intention of pursuing him further.
Shocking! The whole field was shocked! Facing them was a big question mark. Who was the opponent? The capable Saudi Red Cloak shouldn't be so weak; or was the Shadow Rider too strong?
Jiu Ling was suddenly a bit confused due to the surprise attack, and she shook her head hard. She still wasn't fully accustomed to the gravity of the Colonial Planet. Although she hadn't used all her strength yet, the opponent was not as simple as she had imagined. The Military Department should have notified her about this before. The Phantom Knight 0001's supposed weaknesses—slowness, clumsiness, and delayed reactions—were completely negated. In their place, was a lively monkey-like agility, with a speed as fast as a dog. However, she liked it. This was how a battle should be.
For some reason, Hans was so excited that his body was trembling uncontrollably...He wanted to control himself, but he felt he couldn't, maybe, there was a chance for the Shadow Rider to win this battle! Damn it, if the Shadow Rider won, he vowed to be an unwavering follower of the Shadow Rider for the rest of his life. As long as he won this battle, his daughter's life would be saved.
"Let's connect with the leader of the Dragon Traveling the World Guild. Maybe he can help solve everyone's doubts," the commentator, Comma, said. Clearly, Star Wars had invited guests. Although Hans couldn't find any well-known professionals, it was not difficult to invite a few renowned guests as visiting commentators. After all, being a guest commentator could significantly enhance the Legion's reputation and promote its development. Why not be willing? But right now, Hans had no energy left to consider this.
There's hardly a person in the Star Wars game who doesn't know about the Dragon Traveling the World Guild. As the chief of one of the top three guilds, the Dragon Traveling the World's chief's prestige was high to the point where he had no friends, and his weight was no less significant than any Red Cloak. Moreover, with the advantage of his mecha, his chances of winning were quite high if he truly fought.
A dialogue window popped up in one corner of the screen, and the handsome face of the leader, Tianxia, immediately caused a burst of screams from female fans.
"Hello, Chairman Tianxia. I'm the commentator, Comma. I think there's no need for a full introduction, right?" Comma partially joked, but the audience indeed laughed uproariously.
Tianxia chuckled in response, "Hello."
Comma continued to ask: "The Red Cloak warriors have considerable strength. I think they shouldn't have been under the Shadow Rider just now. What do you think?"
Leader Tianxia nodded: "Jiu Ling's physique can withstand the gravity of the battlefield, but it's limited. She clearly hasn't fully adapted to the gravity of the Colonial Planet yet." Speaking of this, Tianxia suddenly paused and after a moment of thought continued: "I'm afraid Jiu Ling hasn't used all her strength yet."
"Oh?" Comma was stunned as his face turned slightly sullen, "In your opinion, who has a higher chance of winning among the two? Can you talk about your evaluation of both of them?"
"Hehe, it's hard to say who will win." Tianxia wouldn't be so foolish as to make a definitive declaration: "As far as I know, the Shadow Rider belongs to the Maximal Outbreak school of thought. It is fond of defense and good at studying the opponent's moves while defending. It is experienced and intelligent in combat, with unconventional thinking and a knack for winning battles with unusual moves. It is a rare kind of warrior that adapts to various terrains. I don't know why it is participating today."
"What's your evaluation of Jiu Ling?"
"I've heard a few things. I don't know much about Jiu Ling, but I have heard a few rumors about her. Eagle Eye's 5 consecutive shots seem to be her specialty, right?" As for Eagle Eye, Tianxia didn't want to explain too much, but when he cut off the communication, he didn't forget to add, "Jiu Ling is a genius. However, I think a Red Cloak who has never seen a battlefield is not really a Red Cloak. Her level should be on par with Yingland's Ophelia."
"Thank you for helping us clear our doubts, Chairman Tianxia."
Tianxia nodded and went offline. Although it was just a conversation, after hanging up, he shook his head in reflections... A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Jiu Ling, a mid-level Red Cloak of the Saudi Empire, who had passed the mecha academy examination, was underestimated, the odds of the Revenge Shadow Rider winning this battle wouldn't be very high. The current situation was just a surface phenomenon. Until Jiu Ling launched the Eagle Eye's 5 consecutive shots, any advantage couldn't be considered an advantage.
