Of course, describing it this way is how Feng Yi would explain it in his unenlightened state. Now, it could also be attributed to a potent survival instinct secretly undermining him.

But now it's not just Feng Yi who's worried, there are other brave super soldiers too. They are Hugo and Angelina from the Military Department, Dovir from the family factions, and the mysterious Roland.

At the same time as Mardis's super soldiers were in danger, the four of them also received orders from higher up, to launch a surprise attack on important Saudi military facilities, including the southern command post targeting Mardis.

As for why such an order would suddenly be issued, it's easy to understand. Almost all of Saudi's super soldiers have been sent to Mardis, which indicates that their internal defenses may be very weak. It's a great opportunity for us to ambush Saudi's command post.

However, at the same time, they received a piece of tragic news--the super soldier, Mu Tou, was killed in action...

Even though they didn't know much about Mu Tou, after all, this group of super soldiers from the Federation had been gathered from various military academies and districts, different from the killing machines trained by Saudi since childhood, this news still caused them some grief.

Especially Angelina, after all, Mu Tou was a fellow graduate from the Wind Thunder Military Academy. Back then, she wasn't too concerned about this Wind Thunder sniper and focused more on potential soldiers, such as Feng Yi and Elvis. She would report everything to the Military Department, but losing him like this has left her feeling somewhat sad, after all, they were comrades who had fought together several times.

Dovir, on the other hand, reacted differently. Upon receiving the news, he was first taken aback, then his fist slammed hard onto the console, making a banging sound, followed by another...

Damnit! Why did this have to happen?!

Dovir is still young and has a long way ahead of him, but it can't be denied that compared to the other super soldiers, Dovir is not outstanding in either close combat or marksmanship. Instead, there's quite a gap. After all, he's too young, plus the Six-winged Angel advanced model demands highly specific skills for ranged weaponry, which only deepens the technical difficulty.

Whenever Dovir encountered difficulties, it would always be Mu Tou, the big brother, who would patiently explain things to him and allow him to gain insights.

It could be said that Dovir has two masters with distinct fighting styles in the world. One specializes in marksmanship, the other in close combat. These two are also the people that Dovir respects the most, ranking even the 'Greedy Wolf' General second.

The first person is Mu Tou. Despite not being notably talented, he managed to ceaselessly push through his limits, dutifully fulfilling his vocation and generously passing on his knowledge of military skills, isn't such a 'big brother' worthy of his respect? Even if Dovir doesn't usually express it.

The second master is the commendably renowned Revenge Shadow Rider. Compared to big brother Mu Tou, this faceless master is stricter, his help is more motivating, his inspirations seem effortless, yet profound, bringing insight that strikes to the core.

If he had to describe these two men, Dovir thought it apt to use characters from ancient martial arts novels. Mu Tou, the big brother, is like Guo Jing, wise but appearing foolish, with a unwavering and calm demeanor. Whereas the Revenge Shadow Rider is more like Yang Guo, unpredictable and unrestrained.

Even though they have different fighting styles, it doesn't change the fact that both hold a superior status in Dovir's heart. It can be said that his declining family only regained their former position after the Revenge Shadow Rider-guided Phantom Double Sword Strike.

But today, the person who impacted his life so much has just...

When it rains, it pours. Just at that moment, a silver light appeared before the viewfinder in a trance. There was no way to dodge nor time to evade, the speed of this strike was too close to the Six-winged Angel. It's fair to say the power behind it must have been from ultimate white level user, Dovir closed his eyes.

With a crisp clang, the attack was deemed ineffective. In the nick of time, a Silver Spear emerged from thin air to fend off the attack. It turned out that the Knight mech piloted by Roland had come to the rescue swiftly.

"Dovir, quit daydreaming. We are in a battle," said Roland coolly, brandishing his Silver Spear nonchalantly. Although he was speaking these words, his gaze was trained on the mobile soldier that was attacking the Six-winged Angel.

Heh, appearances can be deceiving. Could this have been a part of Saudi's planned scheme? It seemed like they gained the upper hand being four against two, yet among the two, there was a top-tier white-robed fighter hidden. Was the plan to take out one swiftly and then make it three against two? What a calculated move. But why would this person be in Saudi?

A question from Roland resonated from the loudspeaker, "Judging by the move, you must be the Soaring Sword Dragon."

Roland's voice sent a chill down the spines of their federal compatriots! The Soaring Sword Dragon? What a joke. The Sword Dragon was affiliated with Bergheide. On second thought, although Bergheide had signed a truce, it didn't mean they wouldn't support Saudi under disguise. On the contrary, they could be conspiring something in secret. If that were true, it would be terrifying. Even if one of them could hold one of the opponents, the remaining three could not stand a chance against the Soaring Sword Dragon and might be wiped out.

Let's not forget, during the counterattack on Alpha's space fortress, four of them fought against the Sword Dragon together, and Ophelia almost lost her life. If the Sword Dragon hadn't saved their wounded in time, they would probably be history by now. With this thought, the federal fighters became visibly more cautious.

The black mecha, having heard these words, only paused for a moment before continuing its attack on Dovir…

A sharp sound emerged from the emptiness. Unfortunately, another attack from the Sword Dragon was preemptively intercepted by Roland. It almost seemed like the Silver Spear had been on standby all along, and it was the Sword Dragon who had unwittingly walked right into it.

"I'll take him on," said Roland.

"Even if it's you, Roland."

"Don't intervene. You will only be a burden to me. Death is not to be feared. The crescendoing dread you feel right before death will cause you to lose your fighting spirit. If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first learn to beat yourself," Roland coldly addressed his comrades, then turned his attention back to the fight.

The sudden interception by Roland mildly astonished the Sword Dragon. Not many could parry that sword strike, even though he hadn't gone all out. Hmph, he thought, it was no wonder he'd once bested Duolin. The Dragon had to admit he had skill and decided to get serious. If given the chance, he'd make sure not to let such a formidable foe leave alive.

At that moment, Roland was also smiling. Her stunning face didn't betray any sign of happiness or sadness. She may not fully understand feelings or perhaps she had let go of certain things, but she cared about a certain person, a successor of some sort. As for Mu Tou's departure, she felt a bit of regret - a comrade in arms, between the two of them… Maybe that's what it was. At least, for now, as a Super Soldier of the Federation, she would continue fighting with that will. As for the Sword Dragon, she, Roland Augustine Gafar, was eager to see what he was made of.

The Silver Spear in Roland's Knight mech circled in mid-air and then pointed downward as she held it in a defensive stance. An aura so menacing that even an ordinary person could feel a heart palpitation suddenly radiated between them.

The Soaring Sword Dragon furrowed his brows, deciding to attack preemptively. With a swift leap, he aimed straight for the Knight's cockpit.

Roland quickly raised her spear to parry his attack. A single point of her spear was enough to block his direct thrust. Both of their mechs faltered simultaneously. The Sword Dragon could feel the immense rebounding force from this clash! Roland frowned slightly. Her inherent female disadvantages were getting the best of her, but she didn't back down. She chose to go toe-to-toe with the Sword Dragon and see what kind of metal this legendary Soaring Sword Dragon was really made of.

It was not until they both retreated half a step simultaneously, after a resounding thud, that they realized neither had gained an advantage.
