The group of over a dozen individuals who entered the Command Ship with Tong Bailong were all experts from the Azure Level, elite members of the Azure Wind Antelope. Each soldier was incredibly strong on their own, but together they became an unstoppable force.
Many people hold a misconception about soldiers from Earth, believing that after living in comfort for so long, they have become like a long-unused blade—dull and ineffective.
However, Tong Bailong's army was anything but that. He trained them according to his own rigorous standards, which is why their abilities improved so rapidly.
These members of the Azure Wind Antelope had spent more than two years together, developing a bond that could not be matched by frequently changing military units. So when Tong Bailong led these Special Forces members into battle against the Royal Guard of the Scorpion Army, it truly felt like a dragon diving into the sea.
Tong Bailong moved through the water, challenging anyone who dared to compete.
The Wusan people hid behind Tong Bailong's group, watching their formidable presence and recalling the grueling training they had endured over the past two years.
"Finally, we can show these bastards what a real fight feels like. We've been tortured for two years; it's about time we get to dish out some punishment ourselves!"
Politeness quietly advanced while complaining in the channel. Although he was venting his frustrations, his tone remained light-hearted.
Tong Bailong couldn't hear this remark because he habitually muted communications during combat, especially when there was no need for ongoing commands.
Reflecting on the rapid progress made over the past two years, it was clear that Tong Bailong played an indispensable role. He was indeed the architect of the entire Azure Wind Antelope Special Forces.
Naturally, he would also be a nightmare for those standing before him.
The Wusan individual seized an opportunity and wasted no time leaping in front of everyone. He swiftly maneuvered through three iron walls inside the Battleship and vanished in an instant.
Just as the Royal Guard of the Scorpion Army realized what was happening and prepared to pursue him, Tong Bailong and his team had already taken down several obstacles in their path and stood ready before them.
The battle continued both inside and outside the Command Ship.
The entrances and exits of the Command Ship had been completely sealed, preventing anyone inside from escaping and anyone outside from entering. The remaining members of the Tong Bailong Brigade were stationed around the Command Ship, engaged in a fierce struggle with the Scorpion Army that had come to support them.
After the entrances were closed, the Command Ship began to emit a continuous rumbling sound, signaling its imminent departure. Moments later, the Command Ship started to move slowly.
As a result, the battle outside the Command Ship began to shift as well, gradually moving away from the ground.
At the headquarters of the Ground First Army, a young man watched the Command Ship recede on the screen and asked his subordinate, "Have you identified who they are?"
The subordinate had been waiting there for some time and replied leisurely, "According to Major General, they should be from Earth, specifically the Hurricane Army's Mecha Division."
Hearing this, the young man's brow furrowed involuntarily as he muttered, "It's Jufeng again."
Suddenly, he thought of something, his expression changing drastically. He quickly switched the display to another battlefield where Cao Ke's Battleship was clashing with the First Army Fleet in Outer Space.
The situation on that battlefield was not optimistic either. With a numerical advantage and Battleships that were not inferior to those of the First Army, Cao Ke was continuously suppressing them.
The young man clenched his fist tightly as he observed this scene and murmured, "Dad, you have to hold on!"
In Outer Space, Cao Ke was indeed giving it his all because he was waiting for someone.
Although this mission's primary target was Pand Zhong, he felt confident about that objective. However, another factor could potentially change everything.
That person would definitely appear; it was just uncertain in what manner. Last time he had tricked him; now he had to anticipate his tactics.
The situation had turned, but it was quite challenging, and Cao Ke relished this feeling.
"General, they are here."
Cao Ke was deep in thought in the command room when a voice from a Red-Level Commander jolted him back to reality.
He opened his eyes and saw the Dragon Breaker Army's Battleship and the flurry of mechs, causing a smile to spread across his face.
"So, they prefer a direct approach. Very well, I will play along. The established tactics remain unchanged, but I won't hold back anymore. I'll go out and meet them."
Jufeng was certainly not late; logically, he should have arrived at the battlefield with Tong Bailong and the others. However, he had delayed for a reason.
Looking at Cao Ke's Fleet, this was not their first encounter. Just a few moments ago, he had been a lamb ready for slaughter at the hands of his opponent, but now the situation had changed.
Moments later, General Cao Ke appeared on the battlefield. The chaotic scene shifted subtly with his presence, as many people instinctively made way for him, whether they were allies or enemies.
In the starry sky, Jufeng stood opposite Cao Ke, creating a vacuum around them where no one dared to intervene. Even the bombs drifting from the Battleship did not spill into this space.
Cao Ke wanted to speak with Jufeng but found that Romain had shut off communications.
This infuriated him. It was not the first time; the last time he attempted to converse with Jufeng, he received similar cold treatment.
Was he unworthy of speaking with him?
Cao Ke's gaze grew colder as the Zhongzheng Army's Fleet intensified its assault on the First Army's Battleship.
Silently hovering opposite Cao Ke, Jufeng drew his Thermal Sword. However, this Thermal Sword was slightly different; there was a shiny object at the guard.
Cao Ke knew that it was Jufeng's unique weapon, a flying sword.
Displaying a weapon naturally signified a declaration of war. How could Cao Ke not respond? Thus, he switched to his own Thermal Sword.
Without any preamble, Jufeng and Cao Ke charged toward each other almost simultaneously.
Following Chen Ziping, Jufeng was a fresh newcomer at Mid-Level Red Rank. After Chen Ziping's death, Jufeng was the only one with the potential to shake Cao Ke's position.
Therefore, this battle was as noteworthy as the recent Magellan Star War.
Those who had the fortune to witness that previous battle were now even more captivated.
For a moment, the intensity of the surrounding fights diminished as many people found various ways to secretly observe.
In an instant, Jufeng and Cao Ke became the focal point of the entire battlefield.
The two certainly lived up to expectations, weaving through the starry sky in a thrilling and magnificent exchange.
Indeed, watching their mecha duel was like witnessing a splendid performance—absolutely breathtaking.
Cao Ke had not anticipated that Jufeng's strength surpassed his expectations. In fact, compared to Chen Ziping, he was undoubtedly on par.
In the past, Cao Ke might not have been able to defeat Jufeng. However, having triumphed over Chen Ziping, Cao Ke had undergone a remarkable transformation.
However, just as Cao Ke was preparing to unleash his most powerful abilities and gain the upper hand, a sudden, intense roar erupted from behind him.
Cao Ke turned around and, with a hurried glance, realized a significant problem.
Their battleship was emitting smoke in several areas, and one of them had already begun to sway precariously.
Cao Ke looked at Jufeng across from him, and a sinister smile suddenly crept onto his lips.
"So this is the gift you prepared for me."
