This world is quite impressive, isn't it? At this moment, Hugo was overwhelmed with excitement. It had really been a long time since he'd had the sensation of riding a mecha through the starry skies, that thumping of his heart, making his blood boil, feeling the flames inside him burning wildly—now, he was going to ride his brand-new body on a brand-new mecha to face the upcoming challenge head-on.

A moment after climbing into the mobile suit, Hugo's pale face flashed a faint smile. He gave Feng Yi a thumbs-up, then the cockpit door slowly closed...

Feng Yi returned the gesture with an easy smile of his own, somewhat impulsively saluting Hugo as he activated the light transmission.

Crack! With a flash of electricity, as the Assembly 9th Generation disappeared in an instant, Feng Yi's face finally revealed a slight, helpless sigh.

If possible, he didn't want to dispatch Hugo to support Apophis, even though there were many capable of contending with super soldiers. But after all, Apophis was up against a super soldier, and as the Icebird fleet had already left the Icebird domain, they were inevitably intercepted by a Six-winged Angel. As expected, the Federal Army had indeed mobilized super soldiers to pursue beyond the Icebird domain.

Fortunately, there was only one. However, Feng Yi had already made arrangements, if too many mechas were to chase them, he would resort to Plan B, or even the identity-disclosing Plan C. In fact, these contingencies were all within Feng Yi's calculations, if it weren't for the purpose of increasing the success rate of the plan, he wouldn't need to be so careful and cautious.

In a 6,000,000-kilometer area of the Icebird star domain, the Federal Army's fast-approaching forces had surpassed the Zeus Shield-class light cruisers of the Icebird legion. However, the two forces didn't engage in battle—for many reasons. After all, the Icebird's mechas belonged to the 9th Generation models, and despite the pursuing force having an absolute advantage in numbers, the outcome of clashing with such an elite force was hard to predict, their opponents should be the God's Thorn legion.

Secondly, and more importantly, the two armies originally belonged to the Earth Federation. To strike against evil is one thing, and surely the higher-ups were not eager to see the Federal Army engage in fratricide.

On the other hand, Dovir, with his eyes set firmly on his prize, did not give in at all and declared a duel to Apophis to buy time.

And who was Apophis? How could he be afraid of Dovir? Seeing that escape was impossible, he was determined to defeat Dovir, which could significantly lower the Federal Army's morale.

Yet, before the two forces could clash, Apophis, as the commander, found himself increasingly suppressed by Dovir... Yes, after all, Apophis only aimed to repel, not kill, so he was quite wary in taking action. Besides, Assembly 9th Generation inherently lagged a level behind the Six-winged Angel, and he didn't have the slightest advantage. In such a state, only a top warrior could manage to repel Dovir in this world.

While both armies were still in a standoff, the two individuals had already fought dozens of rounds, clashing frequently. As time went on and under the pressure of Dovir's Phantom Double Sword Strike, even Apophis began to sweat profusely on his forehead...

In normal circumstances, Apophis was not afraid of Dovir, on the contrary, his skill level was likely to be above Dovir's.

Indeed, from the early stages of the war, Apophis had already been one of the chosen for the super soldier quota by the Military Department. Compared to Kuang Qi and Cangmu, Apophis's personal talent and combat ability were clearly more favored by the higher-ups.

However, Apophis understood what it meant to become a super soldier; it wasn't going to bring about a great change for his already declining family. Unlike Hugo and Ophelia, he sought to revive his family, and once he became a super soldier, he would inevitably have to choose and join a faction—be it the Military Department, an academy, the Left or Right Faction—using his personal ability, no matter how excellent, it would be hard for him to stand alone.

But even so, he could only be considered a latecomer, far back in the queue. Even if he joined the most promising Military Department, he might very likely face exclusion by Sky Shadow and Angelina.

Sky Shadow and Angelina were, in fact, in mutual opposition, and the internal strife over interests within the Military Department was not as simple as it seemed on the surface—Feng Yi was different. As the Special Envoy, his strong-willed and independent character earned him an impressive track record and high prestige within the Military Department, even after the incident of abducting a faction leader's relatives, that leader had to swallow his teeth and get over it.

This was enough to say it all, and precisely demonstrated that with Feng Yi present, the Icebird legion was an entirely different force—without him, to search and seize the Icebird would be but a command away.

As a man, sometimes choices are vitally important. From the beginning—no, even from the earliest days of competition in the military academy, once he had investigated Feng Yi's background, he knew this man would be extraordinary. And it was for this reason that Apophis and Feng Yi formed a good relationship.

To this day, he had never questioned his initial choice. From being the Special Envoy to a war hero, from a low-ranking soldier to a general on the battlefield, Feng Yi's growth had been nothing short of legendary. Even in the current predicament, Apophis was not at all panicked. He believed that as long as he held steady, that would be enough; behind the scenes, the legion commander must have an arrangement—who else could it be but the omnipotent Revenge Shadow Rider?

Holding onto this thought, Apophis not only didn't back down but even intensified his attack rhythm. Yes, he had no reason to fail; he was Apophis, who had come from the civilian sector's Ancient Martial Arts mecha faction. If Dovir had received guidance from the Revenge Shadow Rider in close-range mecha combat, then the legion commander's guidance to him was all-encompassing!
