Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 1224: Longing Carried Away by the Sea Breeze


The pro-war and anti-war camps each had their own opinions, and the alien queen's opinions were not unified. However, given the current situation, negotiating peace with humans seemed to be a win-win strategy for the Titan Elves.

Firstly, humans had already agreed to negotiate peace, and Rekart was willing to cede two habitable planets, although they were yet to be developed. With their level of technology, developing a planet would be much faster than humans, combined with the high resource utilization of the planets and the precious soil and plants, these were materials that the Titan Elves dreamed of.

With ample resources, it wouldn't be too late to fight in the future.

The duration of the alien meetings was much faster than humans', given they didn't have the kind of scheming and plotting present among humans.

However, wanting to cease fire isn't as simple as one side announcing it. The human frontline had suffered heavy losses, and if it were that simple, the emotions of the casualties' families and even the citizens would be uncontrollable, and the Titan Elves' side was no exception. Thus, on this matter, the Human Alliance and the Titan Elves reached an unprecedented agreement, which was to divert public emotions through death matches.

After all, both sides had completely different cultural backgrounds and couldn't be referenced from a human perspective, such as football competitions or sports. Humans couldn't move in the air like the Titan Elves either. The most important reason is that doing so wouldn't bring any breakthrough, finding it difficult to eliminate the long-standing hatred accumulated by both camps. Only through the most primitive killing could emotions be shifted.

Therefore, the Titan Elves and human leaders reached an unprecedented consensus.

The plan would be completed in three months, with the battle taking place on an edge planet, where the war had ignited. Of course, humans dared not let the Titan Elves into the interior, so setting the battle zone on the edge planet was reasonable.

The human side was unclear on how the Titan Elves perfectly conveyed the message. However, the alliance soon informed the public, and when the public learned of the news, the result was not as perfect as the top officials expected.

According to incomplete statistics, at least one-fifth of humans chose to oppose the reconciliation.

Upon hearing the news, everyone discussed the same matter every day.

"Reconciliation, why should we reconcile? Did they kill our warriors in vain?"

"I oppose!"

"No, I support it. At least the world will no longer have war."

Currently, the bustling squares were full of demonstrations and protests. When the event reached this level, the government could no longer suppress the situation forcefully, as controlling the situation of the families of the dead warriors was not plausible. Thus, no country had a better solution, but could only redirect public attention through unified slogans and publicity, such as developing Titan Elf genes today, and surpassing them in technology tomorrow. Various experts blathered incessantly, as spreading rumors was profitable and not illegal. Now the public had become smart; they believed whatever they wanted.

However, more people still loved peace. Everyone was not a fool. A war was one thing, but a war concerning the extinction of species was a serious matter, so there were also many supporters.

In this special era, war heroes were always idols for the people. Hence, the Federation specifically aired super soldiers on the screen frequently. To be frank, it had some effect, though not very significant.

As already mentioned, people were no fools nowadays. They understood this was the official's doing. There was only one entity unrestrained by any power in this world—that was the Revenge Shadow Rider.

Therefore, the Federation invited the current pilot of the Revenge Shadow Rider, Xiu Yi, hoping that Xiu Yi's team could contribute to the Federation and the world, even if only by appearing.

But Xiu Yi refused. As for why, the reason was simple: Xiu Yi fights for those who cannot fight, inheriting Brother Feng's will, yet won't conceal the truth over such matters. You may say I'm immature, you may say I'm indifferent to the big picture, but now I represent not only myself but also this legacy, the black Mecha!

However, in the end, Xiu Yi accepted because he saw a person he didn't dare imagine—Feng Yi.

Feng Yi's instructions to Xiu Yi were brief, mainly saying that now the pilot of this Mecha is you, Xiu Yi, not me. So, you can choose based on your own will, without adding shackles to yourself, which would go against the style of the Revenge Shadow Rider.

A single phrase awakened the dreamer!

Feng Yi's voice lingered in their minds for a long time... Indeed, the Revenge Shadow Rider is lonely, but it's not indifferent to the bigger picture. Instead, he had stepped into a vortex he could never escape because he could never see Brother Feng again.

But...

On that day, with extremely mixed emotions, Xiu Yi's team arrived as scheduled at the agreed seaside. In the evening sea breeze caress, they clearly saw him.

"Are you... Feng?"

That familiar silhouette made Xiu Yi hesitate for a long time to call him.

"You've come."

"Brother Feng, is it really you?"

Unknowingly, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

Yet, Feng Yi just smiled, looking up and down Xiu Yi, and then at Xixi, Red Ghost, and Kevin, all teary-eyed, and said, "It's me."

"Brother Feng!" Xiu Yi nearly lunged into Feng Yi's embrace. He could feel it, that this person before him was indeed Feng Yi, both in demeanor and action, as free and fitting as always.

"Brother Feng!" Both Xixi and Kevin surrounded them simultaneously, while the distant Red Ghost stared with red eyes and a face full of incredulity.

"Heh, you all have matured."

"Of course." As a seasoned soldier, Xiu Yi suddenly discovered that no matter how he presented himself, he was still an immature kid in Brother Feng's eyes. He tried to calm his emotions, trying not to look weak, as Brother Feng despised weakness.

"Why, that day, I clearly saw you Brother Feng..."

By this time, Xixi had grown into a lovely young woman. Rarely did she show a vulnerable side and cry, but now tears flowed like an uncontrollable dam as she closely watched Feng Yi.

"A lot has happened, but I'm still alive and back, that is what's most important. People shouldn't look back."

Feng Yi's eyes curved into crescents as he vigorously ruffled Xiu Yi's hair.

As a soldier, no one had ever ruffled Xiu Yi's hair, nor could anyone touch him. At this moment, Xiu Yi felt immensely satisfied, squeezing out an awkward smile through his tears.

"No need to hide your inner emotions, just be yourself."

The breeze swept across the beach, and Kevin suddenly stopped crying, feeling an unprecedented relief, not even knowing when he started smiling—it was a knowing smile. Even though he didn't worship the Revenge Shadow Rider, it was undeniable that Brother Feng was super cool, super warm, and very reliable.

Nonetheless, Kevin quietly turned to leave, seeming to be okay with this too. His emotions and longing for Feng Yi were more rooted in an inability to let go, an inability to accept his departure, an inability to accept the feelings of unfulfilled vengeance. Now, Kevin felt content.

Red Ghost looked at everyone with laughter. She suddenly recalled many things, "Hey, will our future match still count?"

"Heh."

Feng Yi gently smiled, without disdain or indifference, this response came from the pride of the Revenge Shadow Rider's soul.

Indeed, in his dying moments, Feng Yi had said words of encouragement to everyone, believing they would surpass him. But deep down, he always maintained this one stance, why don't you all come at once?
