Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 571 Battle_1


You could say that this battle, whether won or lost, brings no benefits to the Silver Alliance or any of the countries. If defeated, it weakens the morale of the Alliance; if victorious, it births an intimidating entity out of nowhere. You must know that at this moment, the Revenge Shadow Rider is no longer confined to the Virtual Network. He carries the Storm Wings firing system, a threat to the existence of a sovereign nation. Fortunately, the Revenge Shadow Rider is neither a madman nor does he indiscriminately kill innocents. Otherwise, the world would truly be thrown into chaos.

However, the citizens of the Federation don't see it this way. Although the outcome is uncertain, they believe the Revenge Shadow Rider still has some fight left against the Soaring Sword Dragon. Didn't Revenge Shadow Rider defeat the Blue Electrical Storm too? Also, he managed to escape unscathed under the conditions of a three-against-one battle, which further illustrates his power is no less than that of Sword Dragon. Anyway, everyone has their own beliefs about this matter, but the centerpiece of discourse ultimately will be decided by a fight.

The melancholy of war seems to be concealed by the abrupt challenge. For the Federation, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. As one walks through the streets and alleys, everyone is discussing the upcoming battle set to occur in three days' time. Will the Revenge Shadow Rider accept the challenge? That question hangs over people's heads like a dangling question mark.

The Star Wars company's four commentators have all gathered. Little Wu has turned down an entertainment interview, and many have shut down their million-view stream, making preparations for the upcoming duel and revisiting battle theory knowledge.

It's safe to say that these individuals lack the qualifications to comment on a heavyweight event like this. However, their presence is assured, primarily because the Revenge Shadow Rider will also be there. If he does not show up, it is not in his character. Currently, every staff member is working overtime happily, excitement on their faces that they can't hide. Not only are they receiving triple pay, but they can also contribute to the Revenge Shadow Rider's campaign in another way. Even if they are behind-the-scenes workers, it allows them to brag outside, saying, "Damn, I was the one who set up the map for the Revenge Shadow Rider's duels!".

Inside and outside Star Wars Company, people are bustling about. Whether it's white-collar workers running around with a stack of hefty files, technicians maintaining servers and testing for potential issues repeatedly, or department managers issuing a torrent of orders at machine gun speed, activity is everywhere.

Only Hans remains remarkably composed, habitually puffing on a cigar, enjoying every minute and every second of the waiting period. As the highest Sword Holder at Star Wars, public figure Hans is well aware that he has to preserve not only the personal interests of the Revenge Shadow Rider but also the image that a businessman should have. After all, his image is linked to that of the Revenge Shadow Rider. However, it's undeniable that the bald man's demeanor doesn't change even with pressure, yet the supporters of the Shadow Rider adore him.

Yes, people love the open and straightforward character of Hans. You can accuse him of being petty, neurotic, or even a piece of shit, but he is unsurpassably tenacious in defending Shadow Rider's standpoint, never relenting even if it risks his life. Looking down at the dense crowd beneath his office building, Hans closes his eyes again to enjoy the clock's slow ticking by…

The wait is always agonizingly long, but Hans indulges in this sensation. For him, these few days are too short, he relishes in the anticipation and even fears receiving a too-early message from Revenge Shadow Rider, because he knows the Shadow Rider will undoubtedly come.

Yes, when you have faith and strive towards it, it can create a paradox. There's fear of it arriving too soon. It's akin to making love to a prostitute, the process is always more enjoyable. The analogy may seem inappropriate, but that's the only explanation the neurotic Hans can think of.

Hans is not the only one who shares these sentiments. Beneath the Star Wars office building, a countless number of Shadow Rider's ranks have gathered. There are press groups, paparazzi, and numerous Shadow Rider fans who stick around from dawn to dust in front of Star Wars's office building waiting for the latest news. This expensive piece of real estate has been completely taken over by netizens. Now, no one can get a slot. The city management has been maintaining order round the clock, to no avail.

Observing the scene, an elder gentleman couldn't help but sigh about the hardships of life. Nowadays, even the job of city management can't catch a break. Maybe it's time to consider a career change?

Even the newly married bride, Xiao Wei, has arrived: 24 years old, married. She is a victim who lost her arm in the previous terrorist attack. On the most beautiful day of her life, she lost an arm, a sight that tugs at anyone's heartstrings.

However, the injury did not extinguish Xiao Wei's fervor and admiration for the Revenge Shadow Rider. Despite her wound not being fully healed, she still came because she wouldn't miss any of the Revenge Shadow Rider's fights. As a senior supporter of the Shadow Rider and someone who encountered such a tragic accident on her wedding day, Star Wars Company has exceptionally gifted her the precious opportunity to interact with the Revenge Shadow Rider - a kind of compensation.

After all, her love for the Shadow Rider is just as passionate as Hans's, and she has continuously and successfully been advocating for the Revenge Shadow Rider. She has even used all her spare cash to buy a Revenge Shadow Rider figurine. Half of these figurines' copyrights belonged to the Revenge Shadow Rider, showing her desire to give something back to her idol.

But now, Xiao Wei can no longer support the Revenge Shadow Rider silently like she used to. It's not the loss of her arm that has made an impact but rather her family circumstances. Her father had once contracted a farm in No Man's Land in Maraca's Freedom Port. Although the contracted land wasn't large, the income was enough to live on.

Unfortunately, the public safety in Maraca's Freedom Port was not as stable as the Federation. Deviating from Triangular Star's protection zone, they not only had to pay pasture protection fees but were also oppressed by the largest local family force.
