As for the prediction results, I suppose it can be considered a success, given the great uncertainties. For instance, could Kexiao make out the prediction, and even if he did, would he really be able to attack himself? Another thing I didn't expect was, why the hell did so many of the enemy troops show up?

John had an epiphany! Oh my god, so that's what it was all about! No wonder after the legion commander shared the details of the defeat of the Apostle, why did he quiz me about letting them go? But to be fair, without any bragging or discrediting, I was also pretty speechless. Just within these two pieces of information, there were schemes within schemes, ancient stratagems, and counterintelligence plot — who could withstand that, even if the opponent was Kexiao?

Looking at the 1000 elite fighters still fiercely battling in the distance, Greedy Wolf was somewhat worried, "Legion Commander, are we really not letting the main force encircle the superior fighters? After all, there are 6 superior fighters on the other side, and I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" Feng Yi asked.

"I think this guy is afraid that the 1000 men will steal all the glory," Powder Keg, who was blunt-spoken, made a backhanded compliment without a trace, "Those damn superior fighters, no matter how strong they are, they can't possibly be the boss's match. Even 200 elite soldiers are enough to keep the boss occupied for half a day, let alone 1000 men?"

John was also a bit worried and said, "What do you know, training wars are two different things."

"Hey, how do I not understand, back in the day when I roamed the starry seas..." he couldn't help but start bragging about the good old days...

The group, oh, they shook their heads as they listened to Feng Yi... If it were possible to encircle him, why wouldn't he want to? But superior fighters can't be easily dealt with by sheer numbers; on the contrary, too many people can lead to chaos and increase the casualties instead.

John suggested, "These few superior fighters are clearly in the vanguard, legion commander, why don't we gather the remaining 1000 elite fighters and take down two of them first."

"See how many people are up there," Feng Yi didn't say much but directly threw the thunder meter to John instead.

Catching the thunder meter, John scanned it and couldn't believe his eyes either; the electronic map stretching for thousands of kilometers was almost entirely covered with dense red dots...

So many people, Feng Yi hadn't expected it at all; there must be over a hundred thousand, and even with Blazing Flame Legion's fearsome combat power, significant casualties would occur. If the book OTA miscalculated even slightly, it didn't categorize the number of the enemy troops... Feng Yi was also in dire straits, over a hundred thousand, who could withstand that? If he were to deploy the 2000 elite fighters out in the field, along with other logistical and clerical personnel, the Blazing Flame Legion's actual combatants numbered just over 26,600.

Seeing such a terrifying number of enemy troops, he knew he faced an important decision — now was not the time to confront the superior fighters as Revenge Shadow Rider, but rather to wait until the enemy's main force drew close, then use Revenge Shadow Rider's influence to boost morale.

Revenge Shadow Rider was somewhat of a public figure, and if he appeared now, he would definitely have to fight the Saudi fighters; that's not what an idol should be doing. And if he started fighting now, by the time the Saudi main force arrived, he wouldn't know in what condition he'd be — possibly in a very bad state. Then, if he wanted to move the battlefield later to rally our troops, it would be impossible; Revenge Shadow Rider would be nothing but a clown. Therefore, the timing of his appearance was also crucial.

With 1000 elite fighters as a distraction, Feng Yi felt somewhat assured, "In a few minutes, the enemy's main force will arrive. Prepare yourselves."

"Yes, sir." Three voices responded in unison.

John had just turned around when he was suddenly called back by Feng Yi, "By the way, John, have you found any clues in the investigation regarding Jade Clear Sect?"

"Not yet."

"Ha, I knew this would be the result. You can leave this matter alone for now."

Feng Yi suddenly realized that entrusting subordinates with this investigation was a mistake from the start. If Eggy couldn't find any clues, how could ordinary federal soldiers? Frankly speaking, he wasn't afraid of the chaotic Jade Clear Sect, but it was the thief's lingering thoughts that were truly daunting. The other side clearly knew that he was the identity of Revenge Shadow Rider, and his fear was of them causing trouble without knowing when.

In other words, just like the current situation where our forces were outnumbered, him, with the Curse Seal, would severely weaken his influence on the battlefield if the seal were to act up now. Since the elite couldn't necessarily restrain the enemy's super soldiers, his role in the battlefield would become extremely critical. And without him, even if our army could win, the cost would be dreadfully high.

The good news was that, the moment those 1,000 soldiers encircling us fired the first shot, the speed of the Saudi troops in the rear had also noticeably slowed. This indicated that they were likewise wary of him.

Another piece of good news was that he had already ordered intelligence personnel to engage in information interference as soon as possible, aiming to disrupt communication between Kexiao and Saudi so that Kexiao wouldn't be able to make accurate military judgments.

At this moment, the six super soldiers from Saudi were fighting quite awkwardly, as there wasn't much coordination between them, each relying on their own skills in battle. Even Xia Mu, who usually wore a smile, was now voicing continuous woes through the communicator, "These guys are just too tough to handle."

Indeed, the super soldiers weren't fighting dangerously, but it was undoubtedly exhausting. Six of them against 1,000 soldiers were unable to achieve significant results in a short time, and spreading word of it would be laughable.

It could be said that this group of Blaze Elite soldiers coordinated well and weren't weak by any means. However, the crucial factor lay in the extreme performance of Assembly 9th Generation, on which they relied. Assembly 9th had firepower so fierce it was like shooting and impregnating whoever was targeted, and it also had defensive capabilities not less than heavy-armored suits. While mainly relying on Light Shields, in the face of special weapon attacks, its defense was even stronger than heavy armor.

Not only that, but the propulsion system was also one of the strengths of Assembly 9th, which even possessed the ability to fly. With its balanced battlefield adaptability, it was almost like a low-budget version of a super soldier.

And its average cost was merely several tens of millions? What was even more frightening was that such a force of a thousand could match six super soldiers blow for blow, which was incredible. Yet, astonishingly, although the 1,000 soldiers were at a disadvantage, with the injured replaced immediately by another, it had already been two minutes and the six super soldiers had only taken down nine Mechas. On average, it meant that each super soldier couldn't even destroy one Mecha per minute, a truly mortifying disgrace.

The federal public watching on TV also found it hard to believe what Saudi was trying to achieve. The shots on screen, were they meant for everyone to enjoy watching the six super soldiers exchange blows with the Blaze Army? Hey, no kidding, upon closer look, one could actually discern some tactics... It was like a performance, where each side exchanged a slice and a stab. Often, when the super soldiers launched a deadly attack, they would be forced back by a flanking assault from our troops or would recklessly swing wildly, neglecting their rear. Damn it all, forget about hitting someone, first avoid the flanking attack.

At the moment, the six Saudi super soldiers couldn't be described as being in peril, but they did seem somewhat disorganized, always stuck between slashing at others and being slashed at... Especially the sniper, who wasn't adept at close combat. At the beginning, the sniper still managed a few stylish moves with his gun, but after taking down one of our soldiers, he found himself surrounded by dozens or even hundreds.

This sniper clearly couldn't care less, swinging a Light Sword in one hand while indiscriminately slapping around with the butt of his gun — whoever dared to get close would get a taste of his gun butt first...

Even Greedy Wolf couldn't help but be taken aback time and again, and Vivian let out a chuckle. Regardless of other aspects, close combat snipers were quite rare, and seeing a super soldier struggle like this was a sight to behold.
