"Your Majesty, we are three Mars away from the Human territory, and half of the military from Rekart is mobilized. Should we continue the attack?"

"Employ Spiritual Strike in a human manner for maximum armed warning."

Having received the order, the female warrior silently retreated with her wings flapping…

On the other end of the void, the entire fleet of Rekart was ready, fully prepared for battle. The officers and soldiers were in their positions, waiting for the enemy to enter effective striking range, confident that the thousands of warships would turn the enemy's vanguard into sieves with a single volley.

However, the situation did not unfold as anticipated in the subsequent minutes; the alien race fleet, nearing human weapon range, suddenly came to a halt…

It's as if they already knew the range of human weapons. Instead, a few speedboats shot toward our formation at speeds almost defying physical inertia.

Should we engage? To fire heavy artillery at mosquitoes is one thing, but whether we can hit them is another. The primary concern is that the first volley requires recharge time. Clearly, dispatching speedboats at this juncture is a tactical move, indicating perhaps a willingness to negotiate.

At this moment, sending out a Scout Troop to attempt negotiations might be a better choice.

With the order given, the humans quickly made a decision to send out three medium-sized frigates to intercept…

They halted at less than 20,000 kilometers apart, and the frigate scouts sent back intelligence.

The fleet received the intelligence.

"Bastards!"

The fleet commander slammed his fist on the console, then shared the message to the central Sky Network.

'Humans have been enslaved, surrender or war, the choice is yours. Resistance is not a wise choice. Meanwhile, the Fairy Clan is willing to accept any form of challenge from humans.'

Judging by the intelligence, it's clear this is an intelligent species known as the Fairy Clan, possibly with a history much older than humankind.

However, they suddenly halted at this point. Clearly, the Fairy Clan is aware of our effective range. It's perplexing—why issue a warning after already launching an attack?

There is only one reason: they also fear human technology.

Originally, the Fairy Clan might not have cared about humans, but after the detonation of a man-made Black Hole, they have gained a new understanding of humans, showing some losses too. They fear humans too?

Upon this realization, the congressman's brows slightly relaxed…

Every second is crucial for evacuation and securing civilian safety in Rekart.

We cannot speculate on their motives, but clearly, these conditions are highly favorable for Rekart's current situation.

The chairman unhesitatingly communicated the message to the other nations, along with his perspective: firstly, if the opponent accepts this farcical one-on-one duel as stated, it couldn't be better. They are clearly very confident in themselves, and if allied forces dispatch top-notch warriors, this battle isn't necessarily unwinnable. Implicitly, the chairman also calls for support on this matter from major powers.

After all, Rekart, with its robust military, lacks top-tier warriors; only a few figures in white cloaks exist, and they are obviously insufficient against the odds alone.

Secondly, it's unclear what the opponent's true intentions are with this duel. Is it to demoralize humankind, or is there another reason? If it is to dampen human spirits, why bother with such a spectacle? It's apparent that their technology isn't significantly ahead of us, or they may harbor undisclosed objectives.

A while later, the human scout vessels responded to the Fairy Clan, expressing a willingness to accept the challenge, as well as questioning their reason for invading humanity.

The Fairy Clan responded very briefly: resources and survival.

Who would have thought the collision of two civilizations would commence with a duel between warriors.

This battle has far-reaching implications, with many warriors from major powers requesting to participate, including Dovir, who also sought to join upon learning about it, though requests from top warriors across nations were unanimously rejected.

Regardless, Rekart's first battle will serve as a touchstone.

Star Ace Fred had never been idle, and his importance on the battlefield as Rekart's Three-Star Ace is evident.

Just a minute ago, he received an unbelievable order: to fight a Fairy Clan warrior, representing the Human race!

What a tremendous honor!

Fred humbly acknowledges his capabilities. During the era when heroes from various countries shone, he was merely a Red Cloak. Not to mention the Revenge Shadow Riders or the heroes in white from various nations, even against a 12-Star warrior, as an ordinary Red Cloak, he hardly stood a chance.

But today, representing Rekart, and by extension, humankind, he is going to challenge a Fairy Clan warrior?

This is undoubtedly a moment worthy of being recorded in history, and for a professional soldier, it's worth risking one's life for this.

Fred laughed, boarded the Meteor Ten without hesitation. It is the latest model from the Valan Empire, which he has recently been familiarizing himself with.

In time, leaders and even supreme commanders across nations fixated their gazes on Fred and the Meteor Ten machine.

The images presented are somewhat distant, coupled with the natural darkness of the universe, even high light-far corner technology can't fully capture our warrior.

Whoosh…

A white light appeared in front of Fred at an astonishing speed, only 200 meters away. Such a distance is negligible for a mobile warrior in space.

Fred was bemused that the opponent didn't use a Mecha. Her size was considerably smaller than his, akin to a sesame seed, and through visual observation, seemed to be a well-proportioned woman, intriguing indeed…

As a gentleman, he suddenly wanted to quip, 'Miss, being a woman, I won't kill you, hurry and escape.'

Yet, as a warrior, especially one representing all humankind, he would certainly not hold back in this battle.

Through the shared Sky Network, Kexiao pondered, "It seems he's piloting just a regular model."

"No, that's the Meteor Ten."

"Jiu Ling, do you mean Valan's Meteor model?"

"Indeed, and the Tenth model possesses transformation capabilities, with exceptional performance comparable to even our nation's super warriors."

Ah, Kexiao was speechless, wondering if Valan had solved the transformation technology so straightforwardly, and made it into production scale.

Nodding slightly, "Well, I hope he has luck."

In the cosmic void, Fred controlled the machine. His longsword poised, he made a knight's salutation, the sword tip slowly pointing at his opponent…

It was a prayer for himself, and a silent tribute to this battle.

Unexpectedly, before he fully extended his arm, the opponent's attack was upon him.

So fast!

Fred was startled, attempting to maneuver the Mecha to dodge, but it was too late, or rather the opponent's speed exceeded his expectations by a large margin, leaving no time for his brain to react.

Fortunately, the Meteor Ten has consciousness control. He realized he needed to evade the attack, but his brain hadn't decided to dodge left or right, and his body had no time to command the Mecha.

At the subconscious thought, his machine seemed to have eyes, leaning back to avoid the attack and then swung a sword, instantly reacting before the opponent…

Swoosh!

It missed, precisely because the Meteor Ten's sword-light struggled to catch the speedily moving Fairy Warrior.

She was just a single being, her body clad in an unknown armor, hovering in space with remarkable agility. After that brief encounter, Fred's expression turned grim, deeply feeling the weight of the pressure he carried.

All the allied forces held their breath for him!

Yet, Fred suddenly laughed, his mouth showing a teasing smirk. He swiftly injected a serum into his bloodstream. Yes, all for the sake of honor.

"Damn it, die!" Fred muttered, his eyes half-closed, as if he were in a semi-delirious, semi-conscious state.
