The sandstorms of Death Desert raged, and the appearance of the super soldiers declared the battle had ended in a draw. This fight wasn't fair to Feng Yi, but then, where does fairness truly exist in this world? After all, it was his own choice.

After tearing off his tattered shirt, Feng Yi wrapped a few turns around his wound and took to the road. Before leaving, he didn't forget to glance towards the direction of the super soldier in the sky... Apparently overstressed, the sun shone down, and his eyes no longer held the sharpness they did in battle, replaced instead by a hint of fatigue.

Unexpectedly, Takla had left in such a hurry that even Sky Eye failed to capture any trace of him. As the wind and sand howled past, the mecha disappeared into the desert, presumably switching to reserve energy. It seemed his strength was still somewhat preserved.

The belated Saudi super soldiers ended up lunging at nothing. To say they lunged at nothing might not be accurate, since they did find Feng Yi after all, but since they didn't manage to catch him due to his stealthy disappearance, it was essentially no different from lunging at nothing.

These two super soldiers were of models never seen before. However, based on their Saudi insignias and high-speed flight capabilities, the two mechas could be identified as belonging to Saudi super soldiers.

By some coincidence, the Haier Brothers arrived even later. As the two stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do, the Federation super soldiers also arrived. The four of them met in such a melodramatic way that they were all somewhat dazed...

But, dazedness clearly wouldn't solve the problem. As the two parties belonged to different factions, the animosity on sight was intense. Since they had seen each other, there was nothing to be said but to fight.

Boom! Accompanied by the roar of the engines, the black mecha from the Saudi side struck first. The Haier Brothers didn't back down either. They might not stand a chance in a one-on-one duel, but in a 2V2 fight, the brothers had never feared anyone. For a while, the two sides were locked in a stalemate...

It was almost laughable that as soon as Feng Yi's battle ended, this side broke out into a fight as well. The dramatic turn of events was truly astonishing...

Neither side emerged as the victor after a heated skirmish. The Saudi super soldiers were quickly ordered by Kexiao to return to the Military Department. Kexiao didn't see any advantage in the brothers, despite the prowess they showcased post their battle progression with Black Ridge and Revenge Shadow Rider. This showed that the Haier Brothers were not to be underestimated.

Feng Yi had managed to get away, which naturally made Greedy Wolf happy. If he couldn't escape, he wouldn't be Feng Yi. Greedy Wolf ordered the Haier Brothers to immediately pursue the two, not to fight fiercely, but rather to contain them. After all, given the brothers' strength, defeating the opponents was overly optimistic and vastly improbable. However, Death Desert was a secondary main battleground for the Federation, and if they waited for support from the rear troops to surround them, the opponents were finished.

This was also cause for Kexiao's concern. He wouldn't be foolish enough to force the enemy into a desperate fight. He issued a retreat order at the first opportunity. Although it was somewhat undignified, the fact that the two men were safe was, in some sense, a victory, even though the process was a failure.

Watching their despondent expressions, Kexiao remained calm, or at least tried to appear as composed as possible, and asked, "What were the orders you received?"

"To stand by," the two replied in unison.

"Knowing you were to stand by, why did you not follow orders? Black Ridge, you first."

"I..." Black Ridge fell silent for a moment, "I have nothing to say."

"It seems your answer is no different from Black Ridge's, Xiuluo—do you understand what acting on your own implies? It implies opportunity! A missed golden opportunity, at least we could have potentially taken one of them down, regardless of who it was, or perhaps both simultaneously. But due to your unsanctioned action, the enemy was alerted. Understand? This is tantamount to indirectly costing countless Saudi soldiers their lives. Answer me!"

"I don't understand."

"I knew you wouldn't understand, so... guards, take them away. Come back to see me when you understand."

Suppressing the fury in his heart, Kexiao then slammed the door as he left, almost gritting his teeth as he exited the room! Thunder Dragon, oh Thunder Dragon, you've really put him in a tough spot. Is this the Black Ridge that he trained, who lacks military discipline? He had thought that revealing the identity of Revenge Shadow Rider to Black Ridge, in light of Jiu Ling's injury, Xia Mu's injury, and Silver Mary's injury, would make him more restrained, more wary of the opponent's identity.

But in reality, Black Ridge appeared in front of him at the first opportunity, intending to settle the score once and for all—no, Black Ridge wasn't wrong. The mistake was his, the commander. He should have never disclosed the secret in an attempt to provoke Black Ridge—as for Xiuluo, he was already like a walking dead.

By then, Feng Yi had also returned to the base with a body full of wounds. Although the bleeding had stopped, the two shrapnel cuts on his abdomen and arm were not shallow. Back at the base, his torn and ragged state not only caused the soldiers, still in training, to smack their lips in astonishment... The condition of their regimental commander looked rather grim.

The group continued training as if they hadn't seen anything, you trained and I worked busily, not giving the matter any attention. Everyone had their own calculations after all. Anyone who ran over to offer sympathy midway would be violating military discipline, which would surely result in being named and disciplined. For a highly combative troop, nothing was more important than execution. If they couldn't even adhere to this most basic rule of discipline, they wouldn't be the Blazing Flame Warriors.

The Capital had already transmitted the scene, so they had received the news. But Feng Yi had orders, stating that there had been a battle recently, his battle with Takla. Therefore, John hadn't sent a single soldier; there was nothing he could do.
