As Xiu Yi and the others were preparing for the subsequent plan, they received a message from the highest federal Military Department. The content was quite brief, stating the upper echelons hope that the soldiers involved in the operation could visit the Capital. If possible, the country also wants to do something for these people, even if it's just a trivial recompense.

However, they hardly lack anything. Anyone who has reached this height is definitely not a pushover; they are considered national treasures. Ultimately, the officials unanimously decided to start the combat theme through a tea party and reasonably allocate the hundred combat personnel.

Take the Haier Brothers for example; their combat level is truly terrifying, but they have a fatal flaw: they can't be separated. Once split up, even a second-tier warrior might defeat them.

Therefore, the Haier Brothers are undoubtedly the strongest combination in the academy faction at the same time, representing both Yingland Military Academy and the entire federation.

Three days later, among the hundred or so people, ninety-seven had arrived gradually, with remaining individuals being hard for the federation to gather.

Take Feng Yi as an example; he appears and disappears without a trace like a solitary lamp at night. After outlining the direction of intensified training, he vanished, surfacing again only to dive back in.

Then there is Sky Shadow, who shows little interest in such battles. No one can easily convince Sky Shadow.

Moreover, Bai Zhexian is considered one of the few experts in the Bounty Tribe. The problem is, no one could find him. Until the situation became urgent, countries realized their previous decisions were too hasty, with insufficient preparation.

As people arrived at the conference manor, even the space pirate king Bruce appeared, something everyone believed was impossible. As a space pirate, he is notoriously known as a vicious rogue. Yet, surprisingly, even someone like him maintains a subtle connection with the authorities.

Bruce was smiling at this time; he seemed completely unfazed by the surprised glances cast his way, even subtly enjoying them, nodding gentlemanly at everyone around.

"Oh my, Bruce, why is a person like him appearing here?" Phantom mentor Iserin muttered softly.

"Quiet, Lin. We belong to the same camp; better talk less about this person." Wutong whispered to Catherine, indicating there was no need to create unnecessary issues. Despite his seemingly kind demeanor, no one could guarantee he wouldn't bear eternal grudges.

But Bruce's hearing wasn't dull; he had clearly heard, "My beautiful ladies, do you care so much about my handsome appearance?"

Iserin's lips curled instantly, forming an attractive arc, clearly tinged with a bit of disdain, "Boring."

Bruce shrugged nonchalantly, as such minor greetings seemed unlikely to attract much attention. It wasn't until Xiu Yi's team's appearance that everyone's gaze shifted.

Indeed, that person was Xiu Yi, the black mobile warrior pilot. Even these high-ranking figures couldn't help but glance a few more times upon seeing Xiu Yi, replaced by noisy discussions...

Letting gazes slide off him, Xiu Yi sighed helplessly and walked straight to someone by his side, "Fat Brother, long time no see."

"Wasn't it just a few years ago that we met?"

The fat man replied with cunning eyes, faintly remembering the scene of losing his pants while playing cards, whispering to Xiu Yi that you were the protagonist, the focus, and the one in the spotlight. Don't just seek me out, the side character! Now look—everybody's gaze is on me. If someone recognizes me and exposes me, forming a team would be extremely difficult.

"Ah... this... hahaha..."

Xiu Yi sighed speechlessly, scratching his head with an awkward laugh; he hadn't expected that despite years of not seeing each other, Fat Brother's cautious old habit not only hadn't changed but rather been amplified—how overly cautious this was.

Kevin originally intended to go up and reminisce, but seeing the situation, he decided to withdraw, indulging instead in the fruit platter on the table.

In fact, whether it was the Haier Brothers, Dovir, Angelina, or old friends who had fought side by side before, upon meeting, many had the intent to greet. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaobo came out rejecting them coldly.

Perhaps he had some difficulties, after all, everyone was rather accustomed to this living treasure, while the Blade Warrior was the most familiar with him, pinching the fat man's ear without the slightest reservation.

"Guests are coming; forgive me for not welcoming you from afar." Along with a loud voice, General Greedy Wolf energetically entered the hall.

While walking, he didn't forget to joke with people around, saying things like Red Ghost becoming more feminine, or how Fat Man had put on quite a bit of weight over the years. Even the pirate king Bruce nearly got teased by Greedy Wolf.

In summary, Greedy Wolf merely spoke some pleasantries, as the essence of the tea party wasn't to make the atmosphere too solemn. After all, they were warriors about to head to the battlefield, maybe with different ideals, different purposes—but representing humans. This time the opponent is unlike any before; the strength of Titan Elves is well acknowledged. To defeat such a powerful enemy, teamwork is indispensable.

Luckily, Titan Elves have poorer gravitational adaptation compared to humans. In the influence of planetary gravity, they can't unleash their true capabilities, but even so, they're not easy to defeat lightly.

The known conditions now are groups of four, so besides private teams, the authorities also listed a relatively balanced and complete team combination roster using the federation as an example...

Red Cloak of Normandy Fleet, the strongest of Zhang Xiaobo's contemporaries—Elvis.

In principle, Elvis is Zhang Xiaobo's ideal partner, being an offensive warrior, whereas Zhang Xiaobo prefers an explosive offensive approach. Therefore, what this team combination needs is merely control personnel plus a tank.

Unfortunately, Elvis was missing; thus the authorities had to give up. Of course, the above was purely illustrative, so taking the least promising Fat Man as an example isn't considered outrageous. In fact, the officials' thought was very simple; doing so would indirectly bring attention to Zhang Xiaobo. If someone invited him to team up, wouldn't it increase the odds of survival?

Below is the strongest statistics of domestic fighters of their contemporaries; only by building a reasonable team around the below combination can we secure a higher chance of victory—even if the win rate increases by one percent, the upper echelons believe it's worth it.

For instance, Haier Brothers strongest of their contemporaries: Brothers themselves

Hugo's strongest contemporary: Ophelia

(Powerless King of Might) strongest contemporary: Bruce

Indeed Bruce is our teammate now, but it's necessary to mention Bruce as a world-class strongman, at least within the federation. Few have the qualification to compete internationally, even counting Bruce; the federation merely has four individuals.

Those four are respectively Sky Shadow, Bruce, Desert Storm, and Feng Yi.
