This wasn't a battle, but a slaughter, and the brothers found themselves humiliated by the derision of this damn woman. Despite the general superior quality of the Independent Regiment compared to regular soldiers, when pitted against Jiu Ling, all they could do was try to slow down the attack rhythm of the Devil Angel.

The soldiers were disoriented; they couldn't move forward or stay still. Advancing would be suicidal, but not attempting to fight was not an option either. They had no choice but to push forward, regardless of how grim the situation was.

At this moment, Jiu Ling was dominating the battlefield, taking down more than a dozen Mechas with ease and growing fiercer in her attacks. Her cold, taunting voice echoed relentlessly from the loudspeakers.

When did it become a woman's place to run rampant on the battlefield? War was a game for men. "Sergeant Major, it seems I won't live to see the Revenge Shadow Rider in action. Remember to burn a recording for me," spit a recruit who was particularly fond of the Revenge Shadow Rider.

"Don't be foolish. Let's form a net-like formation to encircle Jiu Ling. The soldiers of the second squad, don't cluster together, scatter, quickly." Despite his attempts at strategizing, the reality was that his orders were ineffective. Although many were still trying to corner the enemy or attempting to get to her, their efforts were in vain.

Sometimes, a military unit needed momentum. Despite being a new recruit, the soldier charged at Jiu Ling with his alloy knife, bravely declaring, "Bitch, prepare to face me."

Jiu Ling, taken aback, quickly turned around to block the attack. The alloy knife clashed with sparks flying in all directions, forcing both combatants to retreat several steps...

Normally, Jiu Ling could easily block such a move. However, she hadn't expected this group of soldiers to be willing to risk their lives. She had to make an example of them, striking fear into their hearts to force the fight to progress as she wanted it to.

"You are brave, but this is where it ends."

"Quit babbling, and face my blade."

The Courage, staggering in its approach, leapt into the air and executed the Galaxy Nine Heavens Slash.

"Too slow." This time, instead of dodging, the Devil Angel clashed blades without hesitation, the intimidating wind caused by the swings of her two swords directly split the Courage apart.

Gasps echoed through the crowd. It was shocking to see the resilient alloy war knife cleaved in two.

With a single, unbroken movement, Jiu Ling's gestures were as swift as lightning as she slashed the alloy knife in half. It was clear that Jiu Ling was an unstoppable force.

The Courage was instantly cleaved in two, sparks incessantly shooting from its severed body. Luckily, the cockpit hadn't been damaged, sparing the soldier's life.

However, the momentum was still with Jiu Ling, and her attack didn't stop. She was looking for a deterrent effect, and wouldn't be leaving any survivors.

The Sergeant Major was dumbfounded and helpless. They were too far from the fight to lend any assistance beyond futilely watching their comrade fall.

"I admire your courage, but it's time for you to die." The female war goddess of the battlefield lifted her alloy light sword, and ruthdelessly aimed for the cockpit...

Indeed, in war, there's no right or wrong, just different stances.

People closed their eyes, knowing no one could save the soldier. The sunlight shone on the Devil Angel, in stark contrast to the battered Mecha beneath her.

Suddenly, from behind, a blurred figure shot toward the battlefield with a speed matching that of the Devil Angel, attacking with a running kick.

Thud!

Before the Devil Angel could complete her attack, she was hit hard, her body flying backward. The laser sword almost slipped from her hand, and due to inertia, Jiu Ling's body forcefully hit the Mecha cockpit, leaving her feeling dizzy and blood surging.

This surprising attack was too sudden. If you could argue that the Courage's hasty attack earlier was due to her negligence, this one wasn't. Jiu Ling was fully prepared this time, yet she still got surprised. It was as if someone suddenly appeared before you in a classroom and slapped you in the face.

This person was Feng Yi. Despite being a member of the squad and not interacting much with the others, many of the soldiers were familiar with his name.

"Take him and leave. I'll take care of things here." Feng Yi's voice, devoid of any emotion, came through the loudspeaker.

"Hmph, it won't be that easy." Jiu Ling ignored Feng Yi, and directly charged at the bisected Mecha without viewing the Courage as a threat.

However, in the next moment, she regretted her decision. The Courage wasn't a threat until it moved. When it did, it brought about a limited yet earth-shattering force. Acting swiftly, the Courage then delivered a fast-as-lightning kick, launching the Devil angel into the air again. While this kick was less powerful than before, the key point was Feng Yi's rapid reaction speed.

" What!?" Jiu Ling was stunned. The adversary moved from a state of complete stillness to violent action in mere seconds before she could respond. For that brief moment, the opponent's operational speed must have exceeded 400 cards.

If you asked why, it was simple. Jiu Ling's own operational speed had reached 300 cards, but she wasn't able to react quickly enough to defend herself. The only explanation was that the opponent's speed exceeded her own.

Who was she? She was Jiu Ling. In StarNet, she was once defeated by a player with the ID "Revenge Shadow Rider". She didn't want to have that kind of experience again in reality. She did not want to taste the bitterness of defeat again.

Ignoring the target, the Devil Angel focused entirely on the Courage, shifting into overdrive as her operational efficiency soared from 300 to 400 cards, accompanied by the roaring sound of the engine. The Devil Angel lunged forward, her slashing movement so swift that it left a series of impressions in the air.

Who could withstand such a domineering attack? Time seemed to stand still as the eyes of many Federation soldiers fell on the two Mechas engaged in a fierce battle.

Faced with this ferocious attack the Courage, didn't dare to counter. Instead, it dodged backward, performing a waist-flick to evade the attack. However, even before the maneuver could be completed, the second strike from the Devil Angel was already there, switching from a thrust to a horizontal sweep.

Seeing the change, Courage quickly leaped backward to maintain distance, but the Devil Angel changed her motion even faster, her attacks growing even more aggressive. Not waiting for the Courage to land, she launched another direct thrust.

Clink...

Attack defended.

With the successful defense of one attack came a consecutive clanging of weapons. Clang, clang, clang, clang...

Boom, the Courage was sent flying back. Supporting himself with one hand on the ground, he flipped up and distanced himself from the Devil Angel in an instant. The gap between the two Mechas was drastic, and Feng Yi couldn't completely adapt to the handling of the Courage in such a short period. He would have to exhibit an even faster operational speed than the opponent to have a possibility of defending against the attacks.
