The notorious name of the Revenge Shadow Rider was well-known even among various civilian mecha styles. They cared more about what they were seeing than the rumors, and they harbored a deep disdain for the hard power of the Revenge Shadow Rider and the military's so-called Red and White ranks.

Their disdain wasn't blind, for civilian mecha pilots tended to have a more personal flair in their operations, favoring solo combat styles. Despite their disdain, the situation was still sensitive with the attempt to encircle the Revenge Shadow Rider. They knew to fear the unexpected, as the Revenge Shadow Rider moved undetected, leaving no trace. If by chance he escaped today and learned which faction had acted against him, the trouble that would return to them would be significant.

Of course, all of that depended on whether the Revenge Shadow Rider had the strength to escape. In order to prevent such possibilities, they considered every conceivable and inconceivable scenario; these plans were the result of careful deliberation.

Five Mecha Warlords surrounded the Revenge Shadow Rider at the center without rushing to attack. With their combined combat abilities, it wouldn't just be the Revenge Shadow Rider who would have no chance of escape, even with wings attached to him. Any single Mecha Warlord was a match for the military forces, let alone five of them.

An elderly voice spoke coldly through a loudspeaker, "Revenge Shadow Rider, will you surrender peacefully, or shall we force our hand to resolve this?"

The silent Revenge Shadow Rider didn't move or reply, as if he too realized the severity of his predicament. Equally silent were the supporters of the Shadow Rider camp.

Federal allies clenched their fists in worry for the Revenge Shadow Rider. Whether it was pedestrians on the street, couples in parks, or shoppers and salespeople in department store shops, nothing was more concerning than the scene unfolding before them. The Revenge Shadow Rider was everyone's protector, but he was still just one person, facing this terrifying force. From the awe-inspiring titles of the Mecha Warlords, one could feel the terror. But the Revenge Shadow Rider was facing not one, not two, but five of them—this wasn't 1V1 or 1V2, it was 1V5, which seemed so utterly unfair.

Geniuses walking on the streets kept discussing the unbelievable spectacle before them. Hadn't Saudi announced a fair fight in advance? Were their own words worthless?

Of course, they counted, but Saudi would find all sorts of grand-sounding excuses to hide their shame. War was, after all, merely a continuation of politics by other means, and interests were the foundation of politics. Defeating the Revenge Shadow Rider was clearly more beneficial than an empty promise. In front of war, interests, and politicians, no promise was credible. Feng Yi understood this, which was why he worried about Saudi's ambush. However, given his poor physical condition and the myriad of mysteries surrounding his future, he didn't know how far he could go; thus, showing up now was actually a tactical retreat.

Saudi, of course, wouldn't consider all this. Their focus was on how to resolve the Revenge Shadow Rider once and for all. The emergence of the Shadow Rider had already caused significant strategic disruption. Capturing the Revenge Shadow Rider alive for study was ideal, but if that proved impossible, killing him on the spot and then focusing on the federal situation was the priority.

The saying goes, "Use the money of others to dispel their disasters." Those civilian mecha factions may not be large, but they certainly had their pride. Persuading a Mecha Warlord to come out of retirement was no easy feat, especially since many areas in the Northern Galaxy were not where the military could interfere at will. Other than offering generous employment, Saudi officials had few other options.

Of course, facing the Revenge Shadow Rider, the five Mecha Warlord masters did not dare to relax. The Revenge Shadow Rider's reputation was too great, and they feared any accidents. They all pressed forward at a measured pace, while simultaneously exerting their aura to suppress the Revenge Shadow Rider.

At this moment, the world was astonished. Many live broadcast channels were still confidently wagering when the Revenge Shadow Rider might leave. Although he might not be able to beat these opponents, considering the Revenge Shadow Rider's abilities, if he really wanted to leave, they should not be able to stop him. Yet, the Revenge Shadow Rider didn't move at all, as if he were truly suppressed by their presence. Could the civilian Ancient Martial Arts mecha styles really be that powerful?

At the same time, a niche exploration channel quietly entered the public eye. Of course, this channel was also broadcasting the battle in Mardis. Indeed, no station with common sense would air other programs during this particular time frame, as the on-scene heat of the Revenge Shadow Rider was not something that came around often. What set this channel apart was that its ratings were now at an all-time high.

As everyone knows, this exploration channel has one unique feature compared to any other: its motto, "A world of variety, nothing left undiscussed," meant that anything featured on this channel could be explained like an expert.

The vast battlefields of Mardis no longer satisfied people's curiosity. To learn more, the channel's popularity surged internationally.

Most viewers were unfamiliar with the nature of the civilian mecha styles. After Professor Beili's introduction, the audience behind the screens learned what kind of beings the Revenge Shadow Rider was facing: five Mecha Warlords, as evidenced by the red Warlord insignias on their mechas.

"Professor Beili, do you think the Revenge Shadow Rider will confront the Mecha Warlords head-on, or will he turn and leave?" The beautiful hostess showcased her professional composure, her smile unwavering. "According to you, these are masters from the civilian mecha styles. Does that mean the Revenge Shadow Rider is in a dangerous situation?"
