However, the 12 Star Generals basically showed little interest in the battles of the ordinary players. These preliminary rounds would probably last for 1 or 2 days before entering the main competition. Everyone just showed their faces at the start to demonstrate their stance, but they disappeared without a trace when the actual elimination rounds began.

Isn't there a saying, "watching noobs fight will make you more noobish"? There's a certain truth to it. You can learn things from watching experts, but it's purely a waste of time to watch rookies. They didn't want to waste their attention on something that was not beneficial at all.

However, the top few hundred or thousand players in the game would occasionally attract the attention of the 12 Star Generals. The one who paid the most attention was Princess Dilia of the Diya Alliance. In addition to Revenge Shadow Rider, she also placed great importance on the common tactics of ordinary players, which was a habit she had developed. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll never lose a battle". If Emily, with her noble bloodline, could be considered a genius in command, then Dilia was nothing short of a prodigious talent in the field of battle.

After the thrilling battle between the Revenge Shadow Rider and Lili, the major powers started to take Revenge Shadow Rider seriously. His potential could even be said to be above that of the 12 Star Generals, and if they were lucky to bring him to their side, it would be like having an additional trump card.

However, even though the major powers secretly tried to find any clues about the Shadow Rider, they could find nothing, which was not surprising. The Federal AI Noah had vast information covering the borders. If the Revenge Shadow Rider did not show himself, he could become a permanent mystery. Could it be that the Shadow Rider was part of a certain power or organization? It would be impossible for him to escape the investigation of all the major powers on his own.

Three hours into the battle, the major powers had many talented civilians who gradually started to emerge. The Federal's Hugo, Hell's Gate's Venus, Zana Republic's Chacha, the Democratic Nation of Weibang's Billy, and the black Lolita Margaret who had distinguished herself from the Diya Alliance. Each player had their own strengths, and each alliance held high hopes for their own players.

The one worth mentioning the most was the black Lolita Margaret. Her fighting style was different from others, she chose single combat over mecha combat. At the beginning, when this 15-year-old Lolita made such a request, everyone found it funny and didn't take it seriously. However, when she started fighting in her mecha, her actions were mind-blowingly fast, reaching 200 actions per minute (APM)! It was really rare for a 15-year-old Lolita to have such high APM! How astonishingly excellent did she have to be?

Upon learning this information, those players who fought against Margaret chose to disembark from their mechas and enter single combat with her. Who knew that the Lolita's caution level was so high that she had no peers; those who fought her were easily defeated after a few moves. Sadly, the most miserable one didn't even last two seconds.

The Lolita's appearance did not match her age, she looked more like a sweet, cute young lady around 18 or 19 years old. This had much to do with her environment and nutrition, suggesting that her family background was quite good.

She had an elegant and gentle appearance with bright red lips and white teeth. Occasionally, there was a hint of innocence in her speech. But it was this youthful, girlish energy that drove such high attention. Unbeknownst to everyone, Margaret had become the focus of attention, not just for the Diya Alliance, but also the other powers who were interested to see this cute girl's performance. Her close combat level could be described as terrifying. The pride in her speech was somewhat adorable.

Ding!...

The matching opponent appeared, and as soon as the big screen sounded, the media immediately focused on Black Lolita Margaret. No one cared about a high-tier player ranked at 4444, maybe he was strong, but it also depended on who his opponent was. Those ranked in this position had previously been violently crushed by Margaret, that's the reality. Compared to absolute geniuses, ordinary talents just seemed to pale into insignificance.

It turned out this player ranked 4444 was a junior military officer from the Federal Army.

Margaret didn't care who her opponent was, she just wanted to fight. The moment she was transferred to the arena, she tossed her smooth and shiny hair in a proud manner. She wasn't afraid of mecha combat, and she had never lost in single combat. Bring it on, whoever it was.

But when she saw the instant ranking and basic battle record, even those players who had high hopes for Margaret felt somewhat uneasy.

Nickname: Feng Yi, this professional soldier with the title of a Private in the game was from the Atlantis Free Federation. The important bit was not the mechanical beast type he used, not his soldier identity, but that line of distinguished battle records...

Honors:

2765, Wind Thunder Level 1 Instructor.

2765, Scorpio Pursuit Battle. (S)

2765-2766, The Big Macs Counterattack Battle.

These are all the honors shared on the Sky Network, such as the Diamond Second-Class Freedom Medal, as well as Big Macs' stealth missions and showdowns with the three giant Black Commandos of Gomez, all of which are highly military secrets that the authorities have never revealed.

"Pfft, what's so great about it?" The little sweetie pouted her cute mouth, "You can choose however you want to fight."

At this moment, Feng Yi was feeling anxious. He knew his turn to fight was coming soon, but he didn't expect it so soon. He had explicitly had the books etched and recorded and was waiting to watch them at any time in the Star Wars virtual world. Seeing that this wouldn't be happening now, Feng Yi shrugged, "Pick whatever you like, Mecha or infantry, I don't bully students."

Margaret was both annoyed and amused at his words. What's wrong with being a student? Countless people have come from being students. This man's words were a bit exaggerated.

The various forces felt that Feng Yi hadn't said anything wrong and he at least had a gentlemanly demeanor. His opponent was, after all, a child — but, one should not be drawn in by her innocent and lively appearance. Hidden beneath the black-clothed little girl's innocence is a formidable combat power. She once floored a burly man taller than her with one strike, which shows her body technique is quite outstanding.

The little girl seemed really annoyed by Feng Yi's words, "Alright, let's fight one-on-one if you dare."

"Okay."

Although the two haven't started fighting yet, the commentary outside was already extremely heated. Even the commentators couldn't help but favor Margaret since she's just a child. Feng Yi felt a tremendous amount of pressure. He could hear negative comments from the audience outside the arena buzzing like mosquitoes, but fortunately, Feng Yi's resistance was strong and he filtered them out in two seconds.

Infantry combat is different from Mecha fighting and has many terrain restrictions. Both sides obviously have great confidence in themselves, letting the other choose the method. Feng Yi decided to give the initiative to his opponent. The little girl, believing in the choice of fate, pressed the random button directly.

The rapidly rotating screen finally stopped on the arena. This will be interesting, not only can the two fight, but they can also see the various expressions of people outside the arena. How coincidental.

The countdown began.

When the countdown sounded, the little girl was already fully prepared, like a sharp sword ready to be drawn out at any moment.

However, after ten seconds had passed, it was clear Feng Yi had no intention of making a move. The little girl was encountering an opponent who didn't seize the initiative for the first time. Did he think he was so confident, or was he bluffing?

After thirty seconds, Feng Yi finally made a statement that left the whole field sweating, "Draw your sword, girl."

"Draw... draw your sister! My little fists are the best weapon for the little girl in black clothes. Where on me do you see a sword?" It was evident the opponent had a serious case of second-high syndrome. Even such a proud person as her couldn't help rolling her eyes, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

The two couldn't just sit there like this.

After a while, the expression on Feng Yi's face finally began to get serious. He touched the hilt of his weapon with a single-hand, and there was no doubt that he would pull out his weapon the next moment.

Whoosh....

At the next moment, the whole field was petrified again. What Feng Yi pulled out was not a weapon, but a book with explicit content he'd just gotten from Bai Zhexian. He... He started reading!
