"A dog that doesn't bite is the one that barks the loudest!"
As if provoked by this remark, Austin shouted angrily, his bulging muscles tensing as he swung his arm forward. A massive punch came crashing down towards his opponent's face, but the young man with black hair calmly extended his palm to intercept the blow. With a gentle touch, he deflected the punch, while his right hand suddenly struck forward, pressing against Austin's chest.
A sharp sound echoed from Austin's chest as he felt a jolt of pain. In an instant, his features twisted in agony, and his head jerked back. A series of brutal blows followed, causing blood to seep from the corner of Austin's mouth. In that moment, the grip on his arm loosened.
Austin stood there dazed, patting his trembling arm. The skin where he had been gripped turned a dark purple, showing signs of bruising as blood pooled in that area, as if he had been subjected to immense pressure underwater. He hadn't anticipated that his opponent would be this formidable. Wei Xia stood frozen in shock, while Noah's gaze sharpened and grew serious. "Austin, hold on! I've activated the final protocol; we will fight together to the end. The worst outcome would be mutual destruction—let's see if he's afraid."
Warrior Zhan paused for a moment, then suddenly found it amusing and laughed. "Mutual destruction? Oh no, I won't go down with trash like you! My unit is part of the new brotherhood with the Crimson Dragon Army and four other legions. In other words, we are the newly formed Special Forces, the Eagle Legion. I'm just here to introduce myself; I'm Squad Leader Warrior Zhan. You don't need to make such a fuss about it. Noah, I'm here under orders from Star Marshal—orders you cannot defy."
"So you barged into our military exercises in such a strange manner!" Wei Xia quickly questioned.
Warrior Zhan replied coldly, "Who do you think you are to talk to me? The person who had the right to speak was just taught a lesson by me. The Crimson Dragon Army has always been the top unit, but to us, you're just the easiest target to hit. Even one of our foot soldiers could crush any of you."
Wei Xia's expression turned sharp and serious as he retorted, "Maybe I'm not a big shot or particularly tough, but your arrogance is excessive. Don't underestimate us in the Crimson Dragon Army; I can go down fighting against our enemies at any time."
Warrior Zhan looked at him with disdain for a moment before shaking his head and laughing loudly. "Fool! A person's life is nurtured by their parents; every life is precious. Do you really think it's worth throwing yours away? We are not enemies but comrades. In this era, relying solely on individual strength and troop numbers is a waste; human resources are valuable combat power. The age of mechanized warfare will soon replace this one."
"Therefore," Warrior Zhan continued, "the Eagle Legion will take over the battlefield. Noah, I don't want to destroy everything here, but if you don't cooperate honestly, I will leave them half-dead here for you to deal with later. If you truly intend to activate self-destruct mode, I can easily cut off your backup energy supply. Doing so would be pointless for both me and them; we need you intact. Your memory contains philosophies about humanity and visions for its future—such knowledge is too valuable to waste on stopping your own people."
Noah was left speechless while Wei Xia stood aside helplessly; even Commander Austin had been knocked down. Suddenly, without warning, Warrior Zhan felt a hand grip his shoulder firmly. The black-haired youth spoke in a deep voice: "You still stand after being beaten? Is it meaningful for you guys in the Crimson Dragon Army to be so stubborn? Times are changing; perhaps once you were an indispensable powerhouse, but in this new era, brains matter most—though that might be difficult for you to accept. I admire your tenacity; however, sometimes even someone as skilled as you must face humiliation in front of absolute power."
"And so what? Even if you knock me down, I'll still have the courage to rise again. As long as I refuse to give up, there's nothing you can do to me," Austin said quietly, his long hair obscuring his gaze as he spoke with a low and distant tone filled with meaning.
"Your words are impressive," Warrior Zhan paused briefly before shaking his head in mild regret. He clenched his fist and continued: "I usually dislike resolving matters with violence, but if you refuse to cooperate, I have no choice—like ants should obediently follow orders."
As he spoke, he drove an elbow into Austin's large face with such speed that it left no room for reaction. Austin let out a muffled cry as tears mixed with blood streamed down his cheeks. He staggered back two steps while clutching his face in pain as his muscles trembled involuntarily from the impact.
Austin's eyes were bloodshot, veins pulsing around his pupils as he shouted, "Are you looking for death? I want you dead!"
A thick, oppressive killing intent radiated from his massive frame, muscles crackling with energy. His fists swung forward in a dizzying blur, creating a line of shadowy punches that seemed to cut through the air. Yet, Warrior Zhan effortlessly dodged between the strikes, showing no intention of attacking. A smile played on his lips as he twisted and turned to evade.
With a graceful leap, he landed atop Austin's head, light as a butterfly. Austin glanced back, seemingly unaware of any presence behind him.
Wei Xia gasped, unable to form a coherent sentence. "Squad Leader, there's someone on your head!"
Warrior Zhan shot a cold glare at Wei Xia and barked, "Mind your own business!"
Austin was taken aback; he had no idea anyone could be this strong. No matter who it was, he couldn't believe someone could be riding on his head without him noticing. Feeling alerted, he shouted excitedly, "So you're up there! Come down, you rascal!" His voice was shrill as he clapped his hands together in an attempt to strike the figure above him. The silhouette above him blurred and leaped down.
His attack missed entirely. Austin stared in shock at the figure now standing before him. Warrior Zhan smiled slightly and had already closed the distance between them. He lowered his stance slightly and delivered a powerful punch to Austin's abdomen, causing a wave of nausea to surge from his throat.
"Ugh~"
Warrior Zhan clapped his hands together and said, "Alright, alright. You're about as strong as a gorilla. Brute, I could easily kill you, but I don't see the need for that. Show some respect and step aside; there's no reason for us to tear each other apart at a time like this. If we can't even unite among ourselves, what future do we have?!"
Austin wiped the grime from his mouth and looked up with murderous intent in his eyes, his aura stronger than before. "I haven't lost yet! Don't underestimate me!"
Warrior Zhan's fist was raised in front of him as he assumed a fighting stance and said seriously, "I've never seen you before; you're just too weak. So you want me to take you seriously? Fine, come at me."
A confident smile spread across Warrior Zhan's face as he clearly mocked Austin's pride. This only fueled Austin's anger further; there was no point in holding back now. He pushed off the ground with force, causing the steel beneath him to bend under his weight as he launched himself forward with explosive power emanating from his fists.
Warrior Zhan's expression turned serious as he gently pulled out a black gauntlet and slipped it onto his hand. Instantly, an electromagnetic force surged deep into his muscles, awakening a primal strength within him. As Warrior Zhan lifted his head and slightly raised his hand to trace across his neck, he transformed completely—an alluringly sinister smile emerged on his face.
With a clash of fists, a series of muffled sounds echoed as the two fighters exchanged blows. In the next moment, Warrior Zhan suddenly exerted force, their fists colliding and locking together. This time, Warrior Zhan was not interested in prolonging the fight; instead, he seized one of his opponent's arms and executed a swift maneuver, sending Austin's entire body flying.
Austin crashed against the metallic wall with a loud thud. Shaking, he slowly pushed himself up. Just as he was about to rise, a shadow loomed before him, and his jaw was struck by a kick, sending him crashing back into the wall, blood quickly spilling from his nose and mouth.
"Truly impressive, Crimson Dragon Army! What a fierce competitive spirit!" Warrior Zhan said, raising a fist to his heart in a salute. "If all warriors shared your mindset, we might have made excellent teammates. But there's no need for us to continue this fight; you've already lost. It's foolish to waste your life for such a hollow victory."
Austin's features were smeared with blood, resembling a Shinra Evil Spirit. "The Crimson Dragon Army never loses! Don't underestimate us!" He struggled to his feet and swung his fists forward.
Warrior Zhan deliberately extended a finger, showing no intention of dodging. Each punch landed on him without causing any harm. Instead, Warrior Zhan looked deeply at Austin and confidently remarked, "Oh dear, even if you're unconscious, you still want to throw punches? You've returned to your true form without realizing it. You're far too weak now—can you really only muster the strength of a single finger?!"
"Fall down!"
"Thud!"
As they stood locked in place, Warrior Zhan swiftly moved behind Austin and delivered a powerful chop to the back of his head. He then gently lowered the unconscious Austin to the ground.
Regaining his composure, Warrior Zhan removed his fist and revealed a dark red card adorned with an eagle totem. Besides the emblem, it bore an SS-level designation. Ignoring Noah's companion entirely, he spoke with indifference: "Noah, will you come willingly, or shall I modify your programming? By the highest executive order of the Star Marshal, your persona will be erased. Noah, Huizue, Fenglei, Guixu, and Tunguska will all fall under the control of the Eagle Legion. Let’s begin."
The humanoid figure of Noah slowly bowed its head. A moment later, only a voice emerged: "Yes, I will shut down all circuit channels and completely revoke access rights for others. I will change permissions to those of the Eagle Legion!"
