What happened? Amid the covering gunfire from the 130mm smoothbore cannon, everyone had deemed the Revenge Shadow Rider doomed. Their attention was focused on the Shadow Rider suspected to be on the verge of defeat. Thick gunpowder smoke clouded the battlefield; when it finally dissipated, he was left standing there, holding up his severely damaged body, as still as a block of ice, seemingly portraying a deep emotion.
The holographic playback was quickly revealed, gradually uncovering the true resolution…
Through the clear playback, people saw the actual data of the Revenge Shadow Rider. With its lost arm, its condition was pretty dire, so dire it could be described as hanging by a thread.
Facing such desperate circumstances, the Shadow Rider never gave up. Instead, it relied on its superior battlefield perception to continuously dodge, its agile movements akin to those of a cheetah, rolling, darting, and whirling amidst the explosions.
In the final five seconds of gunfire, the barrage failed to bring down the Revenge Shadow Rider. On the contrary, in that instant, people felt as if they were watching not just a mech but witnessing the indomitable spirit of a soldier, a soul-penetrating strength. His heart-stirring maneuvers, combined with his tactical understanding of the overall battlefield, allowed him to make the right decision in the nick of time.
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to perform these movements with the Phantom Knight 0001? This was a battle among warriors. When Black Blade launched his full-scale attack, the Shadow Rider finally drew his alloy sword. With a simple throw, it hit the Firmament Warrior's cockpit directly, deciding the outcome of the battle, without any room for suspense.
This moment, everyone paying attention, could faintly see the federal army emblem etched onto the sober and solemn frame of the Phantom Knight. Standing silently amidst the smoke, it's impressive. At that moment, the 160,000 spectators felt the Shadow Rider's fighting spirit, his relentless will to do battle. He, an unruly warrior, never compromised.
The audience fell into a long silence, their minds still fixated on the stunning move made by the Revenge Shadow Rider. But when the silence broke, it was replaced by a thunderous applause. An eruption of cheers ensued at the venue!
Charlotte's emotions were extremely complicated… She knew, always knew, that the Revenge Shadow Rider was strong, but not how much. With gratitude, expectations, or perhaps some other reasons, Charlotte used her only privilege in her three-year contract to broadcast the Revenge Shadow Rider's battle on the hotspot video site.
And now, there was no need to worry. Gold would always shine. Watching the audience skyrocket from over ten thousand to nearly half a million in just a few minutes, she was clear that it was not her promoting Revenge Shadow Rider, but the Revenge Shadow Rider promoting herself. With a bit of luck, she had hitched a ride on the success of the Revenge Shadow Rider with her personal efforts and choices.
The elder brother's voice rang out: "Hehe, I told you, you should never make a premature judgement."
"Yeah, he's the Revenge Shadow Rider, how could he lose so easily?"
With that said, Charlotte gazed at her senior colleague gratefully. In such a fiercely competitive environment, everyone focused on their tasks, oblivious to others' difficulties. It was well known that as a small commentator, she only had the opportunity to broadcast a video once every three years. Most of her colleagues probably wished that she, the newbie, would crash and burn on this occasion. She should be thankful that her big brother's intervention meant she was not the only commentator.
Big brother, known as the "Hot Blooded War Chariot", was outgoing and fiery, yet thoughtful. As a veteran Star Wars commentator, the management focused on the younger pundits, leaving him with no room for growth. Unexpectedly, his appearance in the middle of the commentating added a nice touch to the otherwise awkward situation.
Though they were miles apart and only communicated virtually, with only a few top commentators having the rights to be based in the Star Wars headquarters, Charlotte was still grateful to Hot Blooded War Chariot. However, the person she should be most thankful to was the Revenge Shadow Rider. Thinking of the Revenge Shadow Rider, Charlotte's eyes reddened involuntarily.
At that moment, the Shadow Rider had not yet signed out. Charlotte really wanted to interview the Revenge Shadow Rider, essentially a live interaction, but she was also afraid that the famously eccentric Shadow Rider would ignore her.
Right as she was contemplating, the second match of the Revenge Shadow Rider had already begun. Surprisingly, the Revenge Shadow Rider, who usually vanishes immediately after a fight, had chosen to continue playing - the Sky Ladder match. Charlotte instantly knew what she had to do - she had to find an opponent for the Revenge Shadow Rider immediately, one that was at least a second-tier player.
However, second-tier players were already considered elite among ordinary players, with gods being the tier above. Those top-tier players didn't often appear on Star Wars — suddenly, Charlotte realized a problem. Even without her intervention, the system wouldn't match the Revenge Shadow Rider with rookies. Because the Revenge Shadow Rider had never been defeated in any Sky Ladder Battles, even when faced with second-tier players. Therefore, the system would only consider Black Blade as the minimum standard for the matchmaking.
This realization relieved her. She immediately shifted her comments to the field: "Seems like our Shadow Rider is not too busy today. Otherwise, he would have already gone offline by now."
The public channel was filled with confused emojis. People felt this was a good opportunity to showcase themselves, but Charlotte explained that it was just the Shadow Rider's usual character. Maybe because the last battle ended too quickly, he chose to continue playing. Usually, the Shadow Rider would sign out after one fight.
"The crowd sure is enthusiastic — Charlotte, how about we spice things up with a bet?"
"Eh? A bet? On what?" Charlotte asked, knowing that the Big Brother was trying to hype the atmosphere.
"Well, let's bet on the post-match interaction. As a defender of male dominance, I bet that the Revenge Shadow Rider's next match will be against a handsome guy. Do you have a different view?"
"Heehe, then of course, I'll bet on a beauty."
"Alright then, the winner gets the privilege of interviewing the Revenge Shadow Rider alone. Deal?"
Upon hearing this, Charlotte nodded hesitantly. The thing is... interviews also required the right people. What if the quirky Revenge Shadow Rider simply ignores her when the time comes? Right now, the audience is still growing rapidly. The embarrassment would be unbearable.
Meanwhile, in the secret combat training room of the Royal Military Academy in Yingland, a charming silhouette was explaining the practical knowledge of mecha combat to elite students.
Ophelia, a prodigy of the Mecha Department and acting teacher at the Yingland Royal Military Academy, was one of the most famous figures in Yingland, alongside Emily and the Haier Brothers.
This mecha class had nothing to do with Emily, but her appearance did ignite the enthusiasm of the elite students. This pink-haired girl inherited the New Human gene and was the centre of attention at the Yingland Royal Military Academy.
At that moment, she was no longer the sweet Amily from the ancient martial arts hall. What remained was composure and serenity. The courteousness in her gaze, and her gentle smile always brought about a refreshing spring breeze to those around her. The charm was beyond words.
