Princess Liya secretly shook her head... Even as a 12-star general, she admitted she wouldn't be able to win against these two. There was a chance she'd get flipped over. The individual combat power of these two elite Red Cloaks had reached hero standards, which in the Diya Alliance is the term for top-tier Mecha pilots.

This was getting out of hand for Saudi, it was interesting, too interesting. Raymond of the FCA Allied Nations hadn't slept tonight, instead, he had asked to fight. Not to relieve the Federal forces, but to prove himself in front of the world.Why should he look down on a 12-star general in a one-on-one match?

Sadly, his request was rejected by General Hagrid, who told him to either stay in his quarters or watch the live broadcast. Raymond felt like a deflated balloon...

On the other hand, it was the Hans side of the big square that was having a blast. When the Mecha turned towards them, the ecstatic crowd suddenly fell silent, because the black Mecha had slowly raised its laser gun, wasn't it really intending to shoot ordinary people...

Whether it would do so or not, only God could surely know.

Black Edge didn't pull the trigger immediately, however, it was probably only a matter of time if the standoff continued.

But the ground forces couldn't look on without doing anything. As federal soldiers, even if they had to risk their lives, they would do their best to protect the lives of the people. Several hundred Mecha soldiers simultaneously locked their guns on the Mecha in the sky, and the circling aircraft had already prepared their weapons.

Most commanders, however, knew that these weapons were just for show to reassure the civilians; if a real fight broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

A small aircraft suddenly appeared in the corner of the camera frame, quickly closing in on the two Mecha...

The crowd in the square hissed... That person was risking his life, getting too close to the super soldiers might get him killed.

Luckily, the super soldiers didn't attack. They were clear about one thing - the Federation would never dare take the initiative to cause trouble in a busy urban area, otherwise, they would get the blame for the chaos.

It wasn't until the aircraft came within about a hundred meters of the super soldiers that it stopped. People didn't know what it planned to do. There seemed to be no need for negotiation. Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the aircraft, and the close-up camera zoomed in... It was a young girl with long hair draped over her shoulders.

Black Edge's pupils contracted. It was... Silver Moon, the one he had dined with, trained with, and grown up with. Her slightly weathered eyes were now radically different, as if they contained a many emotions she never had before, "Silver Moon, you didn't..."

Silver Moon gently closed her eyes, shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I failed the mission, but I didn't die. On the contrary, I have obtained real freedom in the Federation."

"What did you say?" Black Edge was lost for a moment...

"We were both wrong. Some people, some things... let them go. Think about Hofferlansa's promises and the agreements with Saudi. You've completed the highest mission but not gotten what you deserve. We were just tools used by Saudi, they never intended to grant us freedom."

"Free...dom..." Black Edge enunciated the words slowly.

"Yes." Silver Moon pulled out a dolphin pendant, a treasure she had bought with almost all her salary. "Do you remember this? I'm giving it to you. Forget the past and realize that freedom is within your reach."

Squeak... Black Edge's communicator abruptly received an order from the Military Department, "Black Edge, Silver Moon has completely defected. Don't trust her, shoot her immediately!"

Defection... defection... defection... The urgent voice was like an electric shock, leaving only the word "defection" in Black Edge's mind. Yes, Hofferlansa had deceived him, Saudi's Military Department had deceived him. And now Silver Moon, the one he had grown up with, intended to deceive him too. Why did everyone want to deceive him? Black Edge laughed. His grotesque face was filled with rage.

"Silver Moon, are you, too, trying to deceive me?" A near roar of a question came from the loudspeaker in the black Mecha.

"Black Edge..."

"Enough!"

A flash of white light appeared and vanished, the dolphin pendant instantly disappeared. Her slender arm was scorched red by the instantaneous high temperature, and her invisible white wing seemed broken...

"Get out of my sight!"

Silver Moon's face turned pale; she couldn't believe Black Edge would really aim at her, his lifelong companion.

"Black Edge, kill Silver Moon immediately. This is a Military Department order, repeat, repeat..." The repeated command from his communicator was driving Black Edge's emotions out of control. "Silver Moon, get out of my sight. I'll count to three."

But as the countdown approached, Silver Moon floating mid-air did not respond. The black Mecha finally pulled the trigger when the countdown ended...

In the deafening sound, the smoking aircraft crashed into the Cathedral of Our Lady of Praise, like a hymn of redemption that would never be sung.

Oh my God, the black Mecha actually shot the aircraft! The crowd was scattered and chaotic. Thankfully, the aircraft was small and did not cause much damage.

This is real shit, Hans couldn't believe it and continued to curse, but I'm not afraid of you, he shouted even louder, "Freaking Saudi, have the guts to shoot me."

"Bro, if you're not afraid of dying, at least consider the people around you." Said a clerk standing beside him.

"Young lad, you are still young, leave quickly."

"The place is too small, where would I go? If I'm going to die, might as well die together." As he spoke, his teeth were chattering. He didn't know whether the world had gone mad or if he had, he had no intention of leaving. Even though he was scared, if he's going to die, he might as well face it head-on. With celebrities like Charlotte and Little Wu not leaving, a man can't afford to be a coward at times like this.

Fuck, they really think the Federation is short of people? We too have Mecha that can reach the sky. The furious soldier vowed to fight back, "I'll show you how to fight."

An Assault 4th Generation took exactly 18 seconds from launching its jets to standing in front of the supersoldier. The same distance would have taken the super Mechas less than two seconds. Jiu Ling's voice filled with contempt as she looked at the clumsy Federal soldier. "Your courage is commendable, but I'm not sure if you're overconfident or just arrogant. Against you, I only need one hand."

The nameless soldier spat, laughing fiercely, "Stinking woman, I have one condition, let's leave the urban area. We can't really fight it out here. Let's pick another place."

"Suit yourself, I've said before that I'll accept any federation challenge today, no matter who the challenger is." In fact, this was exactly what Saudi's Military Department wanted. Admittedly, they wouldn't dare initiate a confrontation in a populated urban area.

At this point, the nameless soldier's communicator was already filled with withdrawal warnings from his superiors. This wasn't a duel, it was suicide.

As soon as he left, the entire city plunged into turmoil. The civilians were safe, but who was going to guarantee the life of the brave soldier?
