In the history of the Federation, even though the internal strife between the aristocratic families had never stopped, there were very few situations in which top-notch experts fought against each other. Generally speaking, the nobles were more interested in using politics and diplomacy to settle disputes. As for force, it was only a means to fight for more benefits at the negotiating table. Even if the clan started a war, most of them would be the clan's army. At most, one or two of the clan's backbone experts would fight against each other.
As for the top-notch experts who were in charge of the clan, their role was more to check and balance and deter them.
Therefore, it was rare for Fuding and Maine to fight like this. When Maine crashed into Fordin's flames, Boccan immediately ordered the troops to retreat. The soldiers wanted to see the elegance of the battle between experts, but both sides were top-notch experts. Just the shockwaves of the collision were enough to kill ordinary soldiers. Their battle circle would spread hundreds of meters, or even wider.
In the battle circle of the two great experts, only experts of the same level like Boccan had the qualifications to watch the battle. The Wind God squad retreated again and again, retreating nearly a kilometer before stopping. They couldn't see the battle between Fuding and the other two. They could only see blue and red lightning exploding in the distance, and all sorts of crazy sounds coming from afar. Even though the violent impacts were a thousand meters away, they still made people feel unsteady on their feet.
No one could imagine what it would be like to be in the middle of a battle.
It was probably the same as standing in the eye of a super tornado, or even worse.
Boccan's tall and sturdy body was nailed to the ground. From time to time, a metallic luster would flash across the surface of his rough skin, and his entire body emitted a tough and unyielding aura. No matter how fierce the impact in the battle circle was, it didn't move him at all.
The shattered rocks were brought up by all sorts of intertwining invisible force fields. In the end, they silently turned into powder and were driven by the strong wind to form a gray smoke screen. Boccan's gaze pierced through the layers of smoke and landed on the two people in the center of the battle circle. Fuding's image was completely different from before. There were some scarlet armor on his body. These armors were solid, smooth, and close to Fuding's important parts. From behind Fordin's strength a flame boiled, and it fluttered like a banner.
Fordin's sniper rifle was completely different from before. The original body of the rifle was covered with a scarlet shell that was similar to the armor, making the sniper rifle look rough and wild. Under the barrel of the gun, there was a long scarlet blade, which allowed Fuding to use the sniper rifle as a knife when needed.
Just like now.
In his hands, the sniper rifle was no different from a longsword. Its attack radius reached an exaggerated two meters, and this was only the visible attack range. As for the invisible aspect, not even Borcen could predict it. In Fuding's hand, the red blade on the spear drew a red ribbon of light. These ribbons of light were extremely sticky and did not dissipate for a long time. Any substance that came into contact with the belt of light would suddenly disappear without any warning.
Even Maine didn't want to be touched by these ribbons of light.
Borcen watched for a moment before letting out a mouthful of turbid air. "How troublesome!"
He imagined that he and Maine would change positions and face these seemingly fragile, sharp, and high-frequency vibrating ribbons of light. He also felt somewhat helpless. Borcen quickly recalled the information about Fuding in his mind. As a hostile family, how could Alexander let go of such an important person like Fuding? But in fact, the information about Horn's secret warriors was pitifully small.
Borcen only knew that Fuding's armor was the Scarlet Hunt, but he had no idea about the ability of this armor, Fuding's trump card, and so on. Borcen only knew that the Black Sun Shattering Bomb was definitely not Fuding's trump card.
Now, Maine flashed beside Fuding at an extremely fast speed. Every time Maine flashed, a faint blue light would spread out beneath his feet. That was the ability to flash through space, known for its disorder and speed. Maine used Void Flash to find a flaw in his attack.
At this extreme speed, even Fuding, who was at the same level, found it difficult to lock onto Maine's movements. This was also the advantage of Void Plunder. Finally, Maine let out a sharp howl. He seemed to have found a flaw and turned into a phantom that shot straight down. At the same time, after the Void Flash was activated, the faint circles of light did not disappear. Instead, pitch-black long arms continuously stretched out from within. The long arms were entangled with red and blue lines. They were the claws that had tried to block the Shattering Bomb during the day.
That was another ability of the Maine Armed Forces, the Void Assault. Using the remaining void energy after the flash as coordinates, it could trigger the ability to launch a surprise attack from the void. The previous flash was both to find a fighter jet and to pave the way for the current attack.
This was Maine's fighting style, just like his actions. It was always intertwined.
Long pitch-black arms smashed or tore, constantly attacking Fuding's ribbons of light. Every time they collided, there would always be a few paths of light that disappeared into the air along with a long arm. Under the impact of the Void Assault, Fuding's sparkling red ribbons of light almost disappeared completely, making him appear full of flaws. Maine had already turned into a phantom and smashed down vertically. Unexpectedly, a punch landed on Fuding's head, but it felt as if it had struck the void.
Maine knew it was going to be bad.
Sure enough, a huge aura appeared above his head. Even Boccan, who was watching the battle, did not capture Fuding's true location until the moment his aura was revealed. That man, at some point, appeared above Maine's head. He held the sniper rifle in his arms and grinned, "Old brat, this is interest!"
The muzzle of the sniper rifle flashed, and Maine's figure was instantly drowned out by the flames that rushed up from all directions. Boccan couldn't even see when the bullet left the chamber and how it landed. Maine was already in Fuding's offensive. A dense, sticky fireball wrapped around Maine. The fireball did not expand violently. After it rose, it froze. However, various frequencies of vibrations continuously sounded from within, rumbling like a dense thunderclap.
Then, it actually sank into the ground, completely against the norm. This made it look less like a fireball and more like a huge, heavy boulder. Then the fireball began to shrink, but every time it shrank, its color would darken a little. By the time the fireball had shrunk to only two meters long and wide, the color of the fireball had already turned purple.
At this moment, a blue light pierced out of the fireball and tore a hole in it like a sharp blade. Maine flashed out of the fireball in a sorry state and instantly arrived at Boccan, who was a hundred meters away. He stretched out his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"
The two of them instantly left. At this moment, looking through the hole that Maine had torn open, one could see that the energy inside the fireball was as dense as a viscous liquid. At this moment, the fireball became unstable. It quietly exploded, forming a dense mist.
The mist quickly spread out, instantly occupying a radius of a hundred meters. Only then did a weak flame light light up at the center. However, in an instant, the thick mist was ignited and turned into a terrifying fireball. The fireball rose up, and the flames rolled and swallowed. Amidst an extremely gloomy explosion, a black-red mushroom cloud rose into the sky!
The high-temperature shockwave immediately swept out in all directions, and the hillside that Fuding had jumped down shattered and collapsed in the explosion. Pillars of fire that were five to six meters tall sprayed out from the ground in more places. The pillars of fire spread out densely and sparsely, lifting the ground and the turf into the air and then landing with countless sparks.
The rumbling of the earth lasted for a few seconds before the terrifying scene that was like a volcanic eruption finally disappeared. The range of Fuding's shot was far less than that of the Shattering Bomb, but its power was more concentrated. If Maine hadn't escaped the fireball in time, no one knew what would have happened. But looking at the hundred-meter-long and ten-meter-deep crater, Maine's expression could not be any worse.
Several pieces of mech armor on his body melted, and the armor on his right shoulder completely disappeared. He looked extremely miserable. In particular, half of his carefully sized hair had been charred. At this moment, Maine no longer looked as elegant as before, which made him hate Fuding even more.
Of course, Fuding had long since disappeared. Maine and Borken looked at each other and smiled bitterly. In fact, the two of them did not use their full strength in this battle, but for experts of this level, they did not need to use all of their strength to know ten things from one look. However, if Fuding was so troublesome, then how powerful would Old Horn be?
This was the first question that Maine didn't want to think about, because if he thought about it too carefully, he was afraid that he would lose the motivation to continue walking.
At this point, even if he wanted to stop, he couldn't stop.
That night, the battle between Fordin and Maine quickly spread throughout the Federation -controlled area. At the same time, everyone knew about Maine's attack on Allen, but people were more concerned about Bescot's movements. It could be said that Bescot's revenge came faster and more ruthless than the last time Maine attacked the Dawn. First, Fuding visited the Alexandrian Clan's defensive area late at night and fought with Maine. He ruthlessly defeated Maine and left. At dawn, the Goliath Clan's camp in the Blood Gate Stronghold was surrounded by Roddy and his men.
Even though Russen finally intervened again, Toure promised a huge amount of compensation for the attack on Allen. This was undoubtedly a painful blow to the Goliath Clan. Even if the Goliath Clan did anything in this interstellar battlefield, they wouldn't be able to compensate for it.
Importantly, Toure and Maine had clearly reached some sort of agreement. Therefore, a portion of the compensation would be borne by the Alexandrian Clan. However, the Alexandrian Clan's losses were not limited to this. Maine's actions had completely angered Horn, who was far away on Earth. On the same day, Old Horn, who was in Babylon, declared a state of total hostility with Alexander. Bescot would suppress Alexander in all aspects, and because Maine had touched the bottom line and principles of the nobles' infighting, many clans were reprimanded. Three of the clans that had a cooperative relationship with Maine issued a statement of withdrawal in time to avoid being implicated.
