Weapons, a soldier's second life. On the battlefield, knowing the weapons you use is tantamount to mastering your own fate. As a sniper, lurking in darkness, gathering strength and waiting for the opportune moment is a fundamental course. However, the scene unfolding before their eyes stunned many and caused those with a lower threshold for humor to burst into laughter, while those with a higher threshold also felt an overwhelming sense of amusement, barely able to contain their chuckles...
"Mommy, why isn't the brother with the gun shooting?"
"Child, that brother has issues with his head; don't grow up to be like him," the young mother whispered in explanation.
Laypeople naturally didn't understand that Saudi was engaging in a morale war, and boosting morale could drastically alter the outcome of a large-scale battle—being a super soldier, it was sometimes necessary to take exceptional measures during critical times. A sniper charging to the frontlines could indeed rally morale, not lurking in the shadows of the battlefield, taking cold shots.
In fact, Saudi hadn't anticipated that the super soldier would struggle so much; otherwise, they would never have let Ghost 3 be humiliated like this. Instead of bolstering morale, they ended up becoming the butt of the joke.
In a battle between two armies, you can imagine how comical the scene of a sniper waving the gunstock to hit people must be. It's like a chef stir-frying without a spatula, relying entirely on juggling, or a boat traversing the sea without oars, riding solely on the waves. But this was different; it couldn't be compared to the previous two grandiose terms. Rather, it was more aptly called ridiculous to see him swing his sniper cannon with such vigor, as if he wished to crush two people. When did Saudi become so humorous?
Whether Saudi was humorous, only the devil knew, but the Federal Military Department certainly couldn't find any humor in the situation, as they had deployed six super soldiers at the same time.
Six super soldiers—is that concept understood? It could almost pacify an entire local battlefield. Greedy Wolf had not expected the opposition's move to be so large, using six super soldiers and more than 80,000 from the imperial legion for the Flame Legion. Did this not mean that Saudi had mobilized all of Mardis's military forces?
But Black Edge died on Icebird, Xiuluo died in Mardis, killed by Sky Shadow's ambush. What was the reason that Saudi suddenly produced three super soldiers? Did they still have these cards up their sleeve, and if so, why not play them from the beginning? It confused him, deeply confused him. Three competent super soldiers emerged all at once, and if their numbers rose at this rate for two or three more rounds, the battle wouldn't be worth fighting.
Now was not the time for hesitation; time waits for no one. The unclear thoughts could be contemplated later, thought through slowly and carefully. Eventually, there would come a time to clear away the clouds and see the blue sky. Currently, Feng Yi's Flame Legion was in dire straits and urgently needed support.
Soon after, four mechas launched. These four were Hugo from the God's Thorn Legion, Dovir representing the ancient family factions, Angelina representing the Military Department, and Ophelia from the Yingland Military Academy. Including Haier in Mardis, the Federal Army had a total of six super soldiers.
It was a pity that Sky Shadow was still on a mission and had not returned; otherwise, there would be seven. This was the greatest combat power the Federation could muster, for Roland had returned to Hell's Gate, Mu Tou had died on the battlefield, and before Cangmu's Kuang Qi could even board a mecha, the super soldier prototype was stolen by Saudi, nipped in the bud.
That meant there were six people on our side, and six on the other. Even though the numbers seemed even in this battle that appeared fair, the strength on each side was very different. It was conservatively estimated that the opposition had three Red Cloaks, namely Silver Mary, Jiu Ling, and Xia Mu. The identities of the other three were unknown.
Compared to the opposition, the only pilot of the Federal Army who regularly wore a Red Cloak was Sky Shadow, who was currently on an assignment. The one whose strength was closest to that of a Red Cloak was Hugo, followed by Angelina who was just one step behind. They say a miss is as good as a mile, and that single step, though seemingly insignificant, could lead to unforeseen consequences once the battle started.
Thankfully, the Federal Army was not entirely on the back foot, which demonstrated the rationality of their tactics. With proper strategy, they still had a chance to fight, because the Doomed Twins were present. Although the Haier Brothers' individual combat capabilities were minimal, making them unlikely to win against several opponents, if the two brothers fought together, their combined force could rival two Red Cloaks. It may be optimistic to be sure of victory, but restraining Jiu Ling and Xia Mu wouldn't be difficult.
As for the remaining Red Cloak, Silver Mary, she wasn't taken seriously—perhaps that was Saudi's sadness. Although Silver Mary had the strength of a Red Cloak, she lacked sufficient combat experience and had limited battlefield exposure. Whether it was Hugo or Angelina against her, victory would be in their hands.
The remaining three were unknown, and precisely because they were unknown, they might have been hastily trained. It was estimated that their strength would be at the Red Cloak level. Whether it was Angelina or Hugo facing any of them, there would probably be a chance of winning. From this perspective, the scales of victory were actually tipping towards the Federal Army.
Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss...
The four mechas soared into the sky, utilizing costly light transport to support hastily. They appeared simultaneously at the wormhole transfer point on Mardis's western front...
Within the mecha cockpits, silent after receiving the tactical layout from Vivian, the four didn't speak until they had arrived at Mardis and established contact with the Haier Brothers. When the strategy devised by Vivian was communicated, the response they received was merely four words.
