With a roaring explosion, the fight ends, and the Flames Legion finally claims victory...

Though the Flames Legion were victorious, there was the fact that Ophelia hadn't piloted a Gun Rider before, and she was repeatedly ambushed in a 1V100 situation. Analyzing objectively, the extent of her defeat was largely accidental, but she really did lose to the Flames Legion.

People were shocked... There were no cheers or applause around, and after a while, someone shouted loudly, "Shit, that's a dirty win." Immediately, a chorus of curses followed, everyone feeling indignant about Ophelia's loss.

The second match was Hugo, a career soldier in his thirties. He was plain in all respects, except his affluent background, and while he had experience piloting a mecha, he didn't possess any extraordinary talent. Hugo was also low-key in his actions, humble in his leadership, noble in his sense of justice, and something of a reserved soldier.

On the battlefield, however, he was a force that made his opponents tremble in fear. As a warrior of the iron-blooded military, Hugo's vocabulary was limited to obedience and more obedience. Upholding the noble mission of a soldier, he would treat every battle seriously. He was neither arrogant nor cowardly, only persistent. Even if he had to spill his blood, he would never give up.

Unfortunately, Hugo's randomly selected map was again an unfavorable jungle location. Like Ophelia, Hugo was adept at city sieges. But when his Gun Rider appeared on the battlefield, the crowd erupted in excitement... This was the true gap between a novice star player and a traditional old soldier. Through the virtual projection, he emerged step by step from the smoke of battle, an invisible field seeming to surround him.

Holy shit, he looks even fiercer than the boss, the audience muttered, wiping the sweat from their brows. They also ordered their allies to prepare quickly, with half of the Gun Riders choosing heavier armament and the rest going light.

With a hum, the engine roars resounded throughout the field, and Hugo's Gun Rider quickly disappeared from the crowd's sight...

When it finally halted and concealed itself deep in the jungle, everyone saw it spin around in its place and then lay down, concealing itself in the undergrowth without making any further move.

Checking the environment is a basic skill for veterans of the battlefield. Hugo proceeded to cut down power output, and under the natural camouflage of the undergrowth, he retained only the scanning device constantly searching for light points of range. This would greatly reduce the enemy's detection capabilities, and all their movements would have nowhere to hide.

At 7 o'clock, 12 Gun Riders, at 9 o'clock, 30, at 12 o'clock, 25, and people at 4 and 2 o'clock. What he had to do was to observe silently and look for the best opportunity to strike.

The proof was in the pudding: Hugo's tactics were working. Now, no matter how the lead wolf and his 99 Flames Legion soldiers scanned, they couldn't find any trace of the enemy. It was as if they had seen a ghost. Within a kilometer range, even a mouse couldn't escape detection, but they couldn't find any signs of him. Such a large team of a hundred people slowed down their advance out of caution, afraid of being ambushed without warning.

Time passed quietly, like a teacup draining away. In the end, the Flames Legion's movement efficiency had evolved into a slow shuffle... In comparison, Hugo's electromagnetic cannon occasionally made small adjustments, sometimes turning to another direction but not attacking for a long time. It seemed like he was calculating the timing of his move.

Both sides were now within 700 meters of each other, and the Flames Legion soldiers were getting closer and closer to Hugo, but they still hadn't found their ghost-like opponent.

At this moment, the audience's hearts were in their mouths, even Feng Yi and Roland's faces were unusually serious.

What made Hugo hesitate was that the wind was strong at the moment, and the opponent was on guard all the time. If he launched an attack upwind, the actual effect would be greatly reduced. But if he launched an attack in the downwind direction, the effect would be minimal. It looked like he would be forced to reveal his position in less than a hundred meters. What choice should he make?

He cannot dishonor the glory of God's Thorn! In memory of his noble forefathers, he, a military man by birth, absent-mindedly removed his helmet from inside his fighting machine. He took out a brown wallet, got out the only 'ancient coin' left by his father, flicked it lightly with his thumb, saw that it was the back side, and then carefully put the coin back into the wallet. This was a battlefield relic passed down from generation to generation, it was clear that it was also one of Hugo's treasures.

It was time to put on his combat helmet again and prepare for the battle that was about to start. Behind the dense shrubs, the electromagnetic sniper rifle peeked out first, its aim steady despite the swaying branches and leaves. The whir of energy accumulation emanated from the mouth of the sniper rifle.

Energy concentration response detected! The Flames Legion spotted Hugo's hiding place immediately. Still, it was too late. The electromagnetic cannon fired with a loud bang, shattering the silence. The electromagnetic round, transformed into a silver flash of light, vaporized everything in its path.

With an X3 overdrive, the shoulder-mounted 130 main gun and the twin 25mm machine guns on the sides of the mecha triggered simultaneously. The rounds flew, the ground shook, and the saturation fire instantly turned the jungle into a hell on earth.

Destroyed, destroyed, destroyed…

Hugo launched an all-out barrage in three directions at the same time. In just three seconds, over a thousand rounds were spent, and half of the Flames Legion suffered casualties. This wasn't a simple exploding machine; most of them didn't even have time to react.

Amid the hail of bullets, the Flames Legion immediately retaliated, locking onto Hugo's position and firing back. The ground where Hugo was located was immediately engulfed in an inferno.

The next second, a streak of lightning burst out of the flames. This bolt of lightning charged ahead like a runaway horse or a shooting star, and even while in mid-air Hugo managed to pull out his Silver Spear and stab it forward. The spear shot out like a dragon, and with the momentum of a white rainbow piercing the sun, Hugo blasted open a mecha and quickly retreated. The opponent had heavy weapons, and it wasn't wise to confront them head-on. He had to pull away and engage at medium to long range.

Just as the Gun Rider was making its move, a downed soldier on the ground suddenly fired a laser at Hugo. This deadly attack instantly had the audience on edge.

At that final second, the Gun Rider had already reacted. It executed two short bursts of acceleration just in time to avoid the attack. "The same trick won't work on me, heh!" Yes, don't think about using the same trick on a battlefield veteran. It's an insult to him. After saying that, Hugo counter-attacked with a shout...

A direct hit. Machine destroyed.

They could not let him disappear from their sight again. The Flames Legion had suffered heavy casualties from the previous round and were determined to hunt Hugo down at all costs. They wanted to inflict heavy damage, even if it meant trading blows. This was their first battle—could they afford to lose? As a former pirate leader, the Lead Wolf was a fierce and relentless fighter. "To hell with it, let's all die together," he thought.
