“Mobile armor?” Zhao Huzi smiled, slightly distressed, “General Will, I am sorry. From the fleet of mobile armors we brought from East Asia, there is only one Jungle Ranger left…”

Will smiled as he watched the game happening in the field and nodded a few times. In order to maintain the fairness of the Recruit Tournament, the mobile armors of each major military region would be checked by inspectors of other continents during each recruit competition. Only after they’ve confirmed that there were no modifications and that the mobile armors were completely made by the standardized system would they be allowed to enter the Recruit Tournament.

At this point in time, if East Asia transported new mobile armors into the compound of the recruit competition, it was obvious that the inspectors of other continents would not arrive in time to check it. If there was even a slight modification…

For example, if you were to do some slight modifications on the vector booster or with the turbo engine, it could very possibly influence the final results of the battle.

“How about this?” West Asia’s Major General Lahad said slowly, “We, West Asia, as well as the African Military Region will each select one model from the competition to give to East Asia. Does General Zhao approve of this?”

“General Lahad.” Will put down the wine glass that he loved dearly, “This will be unfair to your future competing journey. How about us Americans also donate one? With that, it will still be fair on the battlefield in the future.”

Three mobile armors? Okosa laughed before Zhao Huzi did. From the impact data the recruits brought back the other time, even if first-line ace mobile armor soldiers went against Qin Fen, the chances of them winning would only be around fifty percent.

America? Okosa shook his head repeatedly. Even the previous mobile armor champion from the Recruit Tournament, in the face of Qin Fen, would also only have child-like strength. Whether or not they could hang in there for a few seconds longer than the recruits from Crusaders also depended on how good Qin Fen’s mood was.

“Haha, since everyone is so generous, if I were to be courteous with all of you and not accept, it would mean that I, Old Zhao, is not up to morale.” Zhao Huzi smiled as he rubbed his fist and palm, “Like this, we also cannot take too much advantage of everyone. I shall not choose mobile armors like the Galaxy Steel Spirit, Alloy War God, and Electro Warrior, that have heavy-duty firearms. The Angels of the Day, Doomsday Butterfly, Red Lotus Phantom, these three then.”

The generals of the three Military Regions nodded slowly. This request was indeed not too much. These three mobile armors could only be considered medium-sized mobile armors at best. No matter armor or power, they were still incomparable to models like Galaxy Steel Spirit, Alloy War God, and Electro Warrior.

“Since things are settled, let us all enjoy the game together.” Okosa smiled happily. The failure encountered by the European Military Region would soon be encountered by the other military regions, “The quality of the recruits for this time’s tournament is quite good.”

The generals of the other four continents nodded as well, and once again focused their attention on the huge battle ring.

The recruits of the five states’ military regions, in this glorious ring, had never been in a situation like Caesar, whose opponent abstained before a fight. Even the defeated would try their best to show their strongest ability.

Besides the battles where the differences of the two sides’ strengths were too vast and the battles ended within just seconds, other battles were considered exciting.

On the first day of the Martial Combat category, after thirty-two games, the audience sat where they were. Everyone was watching the replays shown on the projection screen.

These images could no longer be seen after they leave the stadium. People were using the projections replaying the fights to rewatch today’s game.

The recruits who entered the competition had left slowly. Although the next day was not the Martial Combat category’s elimination rounds of the Recruit Tournament, where only sixteen of the thirty-two contestants could proceed, the previous matches had formed a baseline in everyone’s hearts to prepare promptly for the next battle.

“Qin Fen?”

A lieutenant stopped in front of Qin Fen.

“Yes.” Qin Fen nodded. “Commanding officer, what is the matter?”

“The general wants me to tell you that you still have a new military mission today.”

Mission? Qin Fen looked up at the VIP box. This General Zhao seemed to have no intentions of letting other people take a break.

“This mission is the same as the last. After the completion, the military achievement will be recorded.” The lieutenant had a bit of confusion in his eyes, “The general said that the “Freedom” Mobile Armor Team of the American Military Region wants to conduct a friendly exchange with us before the official game. This time you will be battling alone, and to have the achievement recorded, you must win. If you lose, you will receive punishment.”

“Time and place.”

“Time, now. Place, last time.”

“Oh.” Qin Fen gave a military salutation, turned and walked toward Du Peng and the others who were waiting for him not too far away. “I have a small matter to deal with, I will look for you guys later.”

The lieutenant used his finger to pull his ears slightly. Small matter? In the face of Freedom Mobile Armor Team, the glorious mobile armor team champion of the previous Recruit Tournament, he considers it a small matter? How could the general look for a recruit who hasn’t even officially distinguished between army types and tell him to go for the exchange?

Qin Fen walked out of the stadium, pulled down his military cap gently and ran straight to the mobile armor competition venue.

During the days when there was no competition, the mobile armor competition venue did not have an audience. Travellers, after enjoying a Martial Combat feast, had all entered bars, hotels and other places to have fun and de-stress.

The empty mobile armor competition venue had two rows of upright mobile armors.

The recruits of the African Military Region and the West Asian Military Region who were participating in the mobile armor battle were all sitting on the spectator stands.

On the other side of the stands, an European recruit saw Qin Fen appear in the passage. His face tightened immediately, and his eyes could not hide the glimmer of admiration.

As an opponent, Qin Fen’s performance was extremely hateful.

As a soldier, the injured Europe recruits only had a sense of admiration toward Qin Fen. Everyone had accepted their loss willingly. He had won due to his overwhelming strength. There was not even a slight chance for others to win.

An East Asia recruit who was standing on the side of East Asia’s mobile armors showed immediate happiness at the sight of Qin Fen.

Several American mobile armor recruits were stunned when they saw Qin Fen. This East Asia recruit that was in the pistol shooting competition, the semi-automatic rifle competition, as well as the Martial Combat competition must have gotten news from the higher ups to come forth to watch the mobile armor battle, right?

Qin Fen stood at the foot of the Doomsday Butterfly mobile armor, looked up at the mobile armor that was larger than humans and took a deep breath. He then climbed up the ladder of the mobile armor.

This time, not only were the American recruits stunned, even the West Asian and African recruits were also stunned. This… this guy was the mysterious guy that they were ordered to go against by the higher ups?

No one thought that the mysterious figure sent by East Asia was actually the competition’s most dazzling star, Qin Fen.

Doomsday Butterfly’s cockpit closed slowly, and Qin Fen’s voice came faintly from within, “Come together, you can start now.”

Come together? Several American recruits looked at each other and all showed a cynical expression. It was rumored that this East Asian recruit had defeated the European recruit in a mobile armor. But there was only one East Asian mobile armor left completely undamaged. How does he dare to be so arrogant? Doesn’t he know that Freedom Team was even stronger than Crusader Team? Ignorance has to have a limit right?

“Luke, go try out the means of this ‘hero’.”

The command sound was heard. The slightly thin, white recruit climbed quickly into the body of the Electro Warrior.

The near-perfect streamlined body of this mobile armor offered a lightning-fast speed and a powerful firepower system, making it a mobile armor with great skill and speed that was outstanding in both long and short ranged battles.

Captain Aishol, who issued the order, was looking at his own Electro Warrior confidently. The players that were elected this time were not elected simply — each was selected extremely carefully.

Doomsday Butterfly, from its initial design was already purported to go against ace aerial pilots. Hence, its long distance attack ability was extremely outstanding, and it was equipped with tracker weapon attacks. However, its shortcomings were also obvious. Its ability for short-range battles were poor, the speed of its power output was also slightly inferior to the Electro Warrior.

Luke didn’t have the best looks, but he had the second strongest mobile armor combat abilities in the team! Electro Warrior: this mobile armor was created with different intentions compared to most mobile armors. It was a type of armor that was created to attack mobile armors.

With the development of science and technology, there wasn’t only a mutual restraint in the relationships between army types, they also cooperated with one another. Electro Warrior was the armor used to cooperate with aircrafts that were battling against ground mobile armors. They specifically targeted long distance attack mobile armors such as Doomsday Butterfly.

The first thing Luke did when he opened the armor was to open the muzzle angle detector instantly, getting ready to use its speed to dodge before the opponent launches his attack.

The European recruits looked at Luke’s armors reaction sadly. To use this reaction in the face of an equal level opponent was indeed correct. However, this time’s opponent was not at all of equal level, and he didn’t seem like he would shoot.

Doomsday Butterfly removed the huge artillery on its arm slowly and hung it behind its back. Its ten fingers that were vacant were exercising gently.

Besides the European and East Asian recruits, the recruits from the other three continents were also stunned! What is he doing? Doomsday Butterfly gave up its most advantageous firepower attack? And exercised its fingers? Is he opting for a close up battle? The ability of Doomsday Butterfly in close up battles… 

Dong dong dong…

Doomsday Butterfly, all of the sudden, rushed toward Electro Warrior with huge steps. The vibration caused by the collision between its huge metal body and the ground was like a small earthquake.

“Really going to fight close up?”

Luke smiled and took out the electromagnetic poles used by Electro Warrior to break armors in close-combat battles. This were two close-combat electromagnet weapons that were equipped with high-performance pulse-guided chips. The electromagnetic field formed during battle not only interfered strongly with the opponent’s electrical circuit, it could also form a certain energy protection field for the equipment body.

Captain Aishol from the Freedom Team smiled with a sense of ridicule. This East Asia recruit seemed to had really gone delusional from his victories, he actually thought that he would be the first in whatever he did! Even a first line mobile armor soldier would not dare to go up against the Electro Warrior that Luke was operating as the Doomsday Butterfly for a close-combat battle.

Doomsday Butterfly’s speed was not slow. The distance between the two was up to fifty meters. The Electro Warrior Luke was operating placed the electromagnetic poles across his chest. All it needs was a thirty meter distance to use the strike star attack to take down this bold and reckless Doomsday Butterfly!

Forty-five meters, forty meters, thirty-five meters, thirty meters!

Luke’s eyes were soaring with light, strike star…

Strong control! The drive furnace output was overloaded by three hundred and thirty-two percent! Doomsday Butterfly turned into a huge metal rainbow in an instant and flashed pass Electro Warrior. The electromagnetic poles had also appeared in the hands of Doomsday Butterfly.

The huge chest of the Electro Warrior had a huge hole left by the piercing of the electromagnetic poles.

The smile on Aishol’s face stiffened. This is? The Electro Warrior that was known as the Butterfly Killer and was skilled in close-combat battles was actually defeated in close-combat against Doomsday Butterfly, who was suited for long-ranged battles? How was this possible? How did the electromagnetic poles appear in the hands of Doomsday Butterfly? 

Aishol turned his stiff neck and looked at the hands of the Electro Warrior that had the electromagnetic poles. That pair of metal arms now seemed like it was still more than ninety percent intact, the only flaw were the fingers that were holding the electromagnetic poles.

The ten fingers that could easily pinch an ordinary person to death had now all turned outward, and the cracked metal mouth was spurting out blue flames.

The fingers had been snapped broken just like that! At the moment the two sides collided, the Doomsday Butterfly that was obviously inferior in power control did not choose to strike the body at all. Its target was the ten fingers that were holding the electromagnetic poles!

Aishol gasped in the cold air. It was not easy to land a punch on the opponent’s body in the split second that the two armors crossed each other, let alone cut off all its fingers! All the while snatching over the electromagnetic poles and subsequently opening up a hole in the opponent’s body.

In the stands, the hands and feet of the African and West Asian recruits grew cold. This was the ability that caused the European mobile armor recruits to abstain from competing? With such tyrannical strength, how did they end up with East Asia having only one complete mobile armor?

Qin Fen swayed the electromagnetic poles in his hand swiftly, “Now, can you guys come together?”

Aishol’s eyes had not left the wounds on the Electro Warrior. The battle between mobile armors was prone to end in the death of both man and armor. The force of the electromagnetic poles was exceptionally great. The body that was hit by it would often explode.

The strike by Doomsday Butterfly was made to simply cause the Electro Warrior to lose all of its combat power, and there was a complete lack of of explosion damage.

To break fingers and snatch the weapon was already as hard as climbing to the sky. Under such difficult situation, he could still damage the Electro Warrior so precisely so that the driver did not have to sacrifice his life along with the armor. What kind of strength was this? 

One-on-one? Aishol looked at everyone who was at the scene. The eyes of all the recruits showed trembling fear. No one could go against this East Asian recruit and win in a one-on-one mobile armor battle!

Even with the heavily-armored body of the Galaxy Steel Spirit, they still wouldn’t win. Doomsday Butterfly had used surgical-like precision to tell everyone this. Unless the opponent was a big iron ball, it would not be enough to stop him.

Otherwise, no matter how thick the armor, there will still be thinner places; they would still have gaps. Those places were enough for him to attack with ease.

Aishol let out a long sigh and raised his arm that seemed to have been filled with lead suddenly. He made a sudden wave downward and said, “Go together!”
