Three armies converged into one, drifting through the infinite expanse of space. On the second day, reports from the front lines came in: Commander Zhang Huwei's forces were surrounded by Cao Ke.
The front line was in disarray, and the defenses of the Magellan Star System had contracted inward by several light-years. However, this did not mean that the defensive area had changed; rather, the internal Star Domain of the Star System had become much more expansive, resulting in increased pressure.
Shangguan Wangyu was still advancing aggressively, while Zhang Huwei's situation was dire. For Jufeng's three armies, it was time to split up and take action.
"Ikeda Brother, you go support Commander Zhang. General Xiao and I will head to stop Shangguan Wangyu. If other areas collapse later, I'll have General Xiao return to the Star System."
The situation at the front was rapidly changing, with the Suihuan Army potentially breaching defenses at any moment. The strategic deployment set by the United Nations focused on internal strength within the Star System. After all, the Suihuan Army did not possess a particularly strong military; as long as they could defeat Cao Ke and Shangguan Wangyu, they could mount a counterattack and turn the tide.
The opposing side likely had similar thoughts. Regardless of the final outcome, the decisive battle lay between Cao Ke and Ikeda Kenji, as well as Shangguan Wangyu and Jufeng.
After Jufeng issued orders, Ikeda Kenji led the Hurricane Army away from the main force to support Zhang Huwei. The situation had reached a critical point where everyone was extremely cautious; thus, although Zhang Huwei was in danger, Cao Ke did not have the strength to defeat him in a short time.
This was different from the Siege Calculation First Army scenario when two Dragon Head Armies had mobilized together with numerous ordinary troops providing support; the circumstances now were entirely different.
Due to a change in route, Ikeda Kenji arrived at his designated position later than Jufeng. In the distance, he spotted Shangguan Wangyu leading a massive army. In terms of numbers, they were indeed overwhelming and seemed to match up well against their two armies.
This was different from the Siege Calculation of the First Army; back then, two Dragon Head Armies had mobilized together, supported by numerous ordinary troops around them. The situation now was entirely different.
Due to a change in route, Ikeda Kenji arrived at the designated location later than Jufeng. From a distance, the Dragon Breaker Army and Scorpion Army spotted the large force led by Shangguan Wangyu. In terms of numbers, it was indeed overwhelming, seemingly not inferior to the two armies on their side.
The progress at the border was faster than Jufeng had anticipated. Just as they arrived, news came from the farthest point of the border that the Suihuan Army had breached the defenses.
Although it was unavoidable and expected, it still came a bit earlier than anticipated.
"General Xiao, I appreciate your hard work. I know that fighting against the Suihuan Army is quite challenging for you, but since we've made this decision, please give it your all."
Jufeng felt reassured about Xiao Ji; this encouragement was effective in boosting Xiao Ji's morale.
Xiao Ji understood that Jufeng wasn't being entirely serious, so he wasn't too angry. He merely replied coldly, "You should worry about yourself instead. Shangguan Wangyu has been kept in reserve for many years; if it weren't for your appearance, he might never have had a chance to showcase his Crimson Rank Upper Tier reputation. Since you have the ability to force out his true capabilities, I hope you can also defeat him."
After saying this, Xiao Ji turned and left. The entire Scorpion Army then took a different route back to the Magellan Star System.
Jufeng stationed himself opposite Shangguan Wangyu and assumed that the latter had already noticed his presence. However, engaging in battle would not be so easy or quick; achieving one's desires was never simple.
With two armies sent off, the Dragon Breaker Army would face Shangguan Wangyu alone. In reality, the Dragon Breaker Army was always fearless; it was just that with the sudden emergence of a Crimson Rank Upper Tier—an unprecedented level—they were all curious and inevitably discussed it among themselves.
Once discussions began, problems could arise—doubts and even wavering resolve. It was like a clean white wall; if a black spot appeared and wasn't promptly removed, over time, the entire wall could become filthy.
Thus, upon reaching his position opposite Shangguan Wangyu, Jufeng immediately left the command room to scout alone.
"General, this is too risky. Shangguan Wangyu will likely anticipate your actions; if he sets an ambush, you'll be in danger."
Listening to Ouyang Chang's admonition, Jufeng waved his hand and smiled. "Don't worry; even if Shangguan Wangyu does guess that I will take this risk, he will only come to meet me alone at most. Do you think a Crimson Rank Upper Tier would approach me with Cao Ke's broad perspective? If so, wouldn't that undermine his own Crimson Rank Upper Tier reputation?"
"Shangguan Wangyu is a perfectionist; therefore, he will definitely come personally and defeat me in the fairest way possible."
Ouyang Chang pondered carefully and understood Jufeng's meaning. Shangguan Wangyu was not a paragon of virtue; the so-called fairness was merely a way to silence the masses, allowing his Crimson Rank Upper Tier status to appear more legitimate.
"But does Shangguan Wangyu even care about these things? I think he is a goal-oriented person who focuses solely on the end result and disregards the process," Ouyang Chang expressed his doubts, as he did not see Shangguan Wangyu as someone stubbornly self-righteous.
Jufeng paused for a moment and replied, "Perhaps that was true before, but after what happened with Chuyang, he will definitely choose that path."
"Because it is destined; we are born enemies."
After Jufeng finished speaking, he left the command room, piloting the Hurricane and disappearing into the vast Cosmos.
In the distance were the opposing Battleship fleet, which was comparable to Jufeng's side. However, the Dragon Breaker Army's Battleship Fleet had undergone a significant transformation, achieving a qualitative leap in strength compared to before.
Thanks to the influence of Pan An and Ikeda Kenji, and the cross-integration of the Dragon Breaker Army's Battleships with those of the Hurricane Army, there was almost no impact on the Hurricane Army. Still, it brought tremendous benefits to the Dragon Breaker Army.
Moreover, this time, the commander of the Dragon Breaker Army's Battleship squadron was Gou Hongbo, whose expertise in Battleships was second only to Ikeda Kenji.
Ultimately, the final confrontation with Shangguan Wangyu would occur in mechs because the entire Cosmos's perception of mechs had changed due to Jufeng and Shangguan Wangyu.
First came a group of elite pilots: three hundred Azure Level mid-tier pilots, twenty Tenth Rank pilots, ten Crimson Rank pilots; followed by another hundred Crimson Rank pilots; and then there were even Crimson Rank Upper Tier pilots who had never been seen before.
The two were continuously reshaping people's understanding of mechs, yet this competition had yet to reach a conclusion.
Jufeng focused his mind and stopped near the Suihuan Army, activating his infrared anti-surveillance system. He then observed Suihuan Army's defensive network.
Such network systems surrounded their base to prevent surprise attacks from outside. However, they were not without vulnerabilities; individual mechs could easily slip through.
Once through, there was an empty area ahead. Jufeng watched from a distance and noted the types of Battleships belonging to the Suihuan Army.
The Assault Ship and Flagship were common equipment, present on both sides without anything particularly surprising.
However, the opposing side possessed a type of heavy ship that the Dragon Breaker Army lacked. Such vessels were extremely costly, and only standard fleets like the Hurricane Army in the Magellan Star System would be equipped with them.
Jufeng was reflecting on Huankezhao's wealth when suddenly he felt a surge of danger approaching.
Instinctively, Jufeng dove downward. This situation had occurred countless times before, so he was already accustomed to evading attacks.
A bright light streaked past the spot where Jufeng had just been.
It was a Laser Beam; if it hit, his mech would sustain damage.
Jufeng narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the floating mech not far away, thinking to himself how quickly it had come!
