White, White Cloak? What kind of international joke is this? All our super soldiers are strong, yet aside from Sky Shadow, no one else has reached the White Cloak Realm, and they are all still clad in the Red Cloak mecha pilot suits.

Of course, to the common person, there's no obvious difference between White and Red Cloaks because they simply can't discern it. The reason for these terms actually stems from the simplified nomenclature used in formal military attire; elite pilots usually wear distinctive red uniforms, while White Cloak pilots more often wear white. This is the most straightforward method of differentiation.

However, it's said that there are subtleties in the distinction between White and Red Cloaks, but apart from military personnel, the local populace can barely tell them apart. After all, to most ordinary people the differences in military ranks are indiscernible since the uniforms look the same. It's like distinguishing between male and female monkeys—not to mention, the common folk first and foremost just know it's a monkey, and as long as it's a monkey, nothing else is important. They only need to identify whether it's a White or Red Monkey from the color of the uniform.

This sort of colloquial naming convention wasn't initially taken seriously, but it's not just our country's locals who call them that. Other powers do the same, and isn't there a saying? "Originally there are no paths in the world, but as more people walk the same way, it becomes a road. Originally there is no Bodhi tree, yet when many believe, the roots of faith naturally exist." The distinction between White and Red Cloaks came about in much the same way.

In Hans' eyes, being a White Cloak is awesome, and of course, being a Red Cloak is also impressive, though they still fall slightly short of White Cloaks. However, this exceedingly courteous person in front of him seemed to have no connection with either the White or Red Cloaks. As a soldier, the most direct way to distinguish between the White and Red Cloak Realms is undoubtedly through the opponent's attire, which precisely brought about Hans' concern, as he didn't see Kexiao wearing a military uniform; hence, his apprehension was inevitable.

But soon enough, the soldier in the mecha cockpit noticed Hans' doubts and explained why Apophis wasn't in uniform. Due to the emergency summons, there was no time to change clothes in their rush to save people. Look at the time, many brothers are even still in their pajamas, and Apophis merely pulled on a pair of military trousers before rushing out. This was why they saw Apophis dressed in a T-shirt and military trousers, with his mecha keys still hanging around his neck.

You have to know that in everyday life, mecha light keys are normally inserted into the circuit board clasp, and after entering a password, the hatch is opened. Apophis clearly didn't have time for that and had to board the mecha en route, forcibly removing the light key to open the cockpit. This action in itself proved the urgency of the situation, with no time to change clothes.

Hans finally came to a realization after hearing this. The world should have more sincerity, less insincerity; more trust, less suspicion. He loudly proclaimed, "Now that's what I call good comrades..."

The corpulent man's laugh was particularly lewd. He hastily stepped aside with an ingratiating smile, "Well then, let's get back to the main point—no, not point, the main topic."

Apophis also responded with a slight smile, nodding, "Everyone can rest assured and board, I can't claim to be very strong, but even if that kind of brother-in-law were to come tenfold, it would still be more than enough."

It wasn't boasting for Apophis to say such; it was actually modesty. You see, even those recently encountered robbers would face pressure dealing with an ordinary person piloting a standard mecha, let alone the Assembly 9th Generation that he was in?

Categorized as a light mecha, a scout mecha stands at only 2.7 meters tall but weighs 7 tons, with a fraction of the weight coming from its powerful engine and thrust-to-weight ratio. Maybe a scout mecha has limited offensive capabilities and weak defenses, and might find it hard to find a place on the battlefield with speed alone, yet such a mecha would not necessarily struggle against those Looters.

This is not just because of speed, which is one aspect, an essential one, but also because of the armor plating. Regardless of how you look at it, a scout mecha still has military-grade composite armor, with exceptional capabilities against penetrating, ricocheting, and angled impacts that are simply not something the Looters can contend with by shooting willy-nilly.

And what equipment do the Looters use? Field motorcycles. In plain terms, a plain motorcycle modified by civilian technicians into a combat model. At best, they weld a few steel plates as makeshift armor on each side of the bike and their offensive armament consists of mounting an 09 machine gun at the front. If anything, there might be two portable 40-caliber anti-tank guns fitted to the wings of the vehicle, but their offensive and defensive capabilities are far from matching those of a mecha pilot.

And this is only a light mecha pilot. If we're talking about a medium-sized Federation early model Assembly mecha, standing at 5 meters tall, equipped with a titanium alloy knife, and a replaceable weapon mounting system, it would be even harder to deal with. It's said that Bergheide has a super-heavy armored mecha over a hundred meters tall, and being shot at for a year straight wouldn't do anything to it, so Apophis' statement was indeed modest.

Of course, Hans believed it as well. Initially, he had his doubts, but when he thought of Feng Yi, it all seemed reasonable. Even if you don't believe it, what can you do if they just tell you you're not cooperating and leave the group stranded in the wilderness? Sometimes it's better to be content. As the saying goes, the content are happy, the discontent are always frustrated; it's just as simple as that.
