The forest.
Silence.
A wild rabbit suddenly jumped out, chewing on something.
It was jumping forward, occasionally paying attention to any movements around it.
As the rabbit was jumping, a hand suddenly fell down and gently lifted it up.
For some reason, being caught by this hand, the rabbit was trembling, not daring to move at all.
Jang Young-ho gave the rabbit to Tong Tong behind him.
"Is it cute?" he asked.
"Cute!"
Tong Tong happily hugged the rabbit, adding: "Wild ones taste better, I want to braise it"
"Tch, you little girl, you're not cute at all" Jang Young-ho commented.
A cold voice sounded, "Boss, Zhang Pei Jia shot my paper doll."
Jang Young-ho turned to look.
Three paper dolls were standing on the grass.
One of them looked like Jang Young-ho.
There was a black hole on the doll's forehead — — – as if it was shot by a gun.
A fat man stood next to the doll, then clapped his hand.
Jang Young-ho's paper doll was instantly burnt to ashes.
"He has 24 bodyguards with him, he looks very powerful, but I think he's just afraid of death" the fat man said.
"Erm … what Marshal, did he say anything to me?" Jang Young-ho asked.
"I controlled your paper doll to persuade him to delay the war, but after reading the secret letter, he said something to your doll"
Saying so, the fat man couldn't help but laugh.
"What did he say?" Jang Young-ho asked.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" the fat man said.
Jang Young-ho scratched his head.
The hitmen around him all smiled.
It's been so many years since they saw their boss being humiliated, they all felt an inexplicable sense of joy.
Jang Young-ho thought for a bit, then turned on his Holo-Brain and asked: "Impartial Goddess, can you help me make a Genetic Serum for plastic surgery?"
[There's no time, 19 minutes later, the Empire's Mobile Mech vanguard will arrive at the border, the war will begin] Impartial Goddess answered.
"So soon?"
Jang Young-ho looked at his watch and sighed: "I can only use the ancient method."
"Tongtong."
"Hmm?"
"Go and fetch me that man's face."
Before Tongtong could speak, the fat man whispered to her, "Your paper doll is locked in his room."
Tong Tong pouted and said, "You pervert."
"It's not me, it's that marshal," Fatty quickly explained.
"Boss, can I kill that marshal?" Tong Tong asked.
"It's up to you, but killing him doesn't count as work. You won't get any extra money," Jang Young-ho immediately said.
"Then forget it," Tongtong said with flagging interest, "I'll just leave him with an unforgettable memory."
"Time is of the essence. You have 7 minutes," Jang Young-ho said.
"Yes, boss," Tongtong said.
She pulled out two sharp daggers and held the ponytail in her mouth. She bent her body slightly and leaped into the air.
In the blink of an eye, she turned into a black crow and flew towards the camp.
"Tongtong is still young, someone go and protect her" Jang Young-ho ordered.
The two figures disappeared without a trace.
Jang Young-ho then ordered: "Fatty, you're up in a bit"
The fat man scowled and said: "I used to have the guts to exchange a few blows with that old man, but I don't anymore"
"Why not?"
"You know, sir Martial Saint recently learned a mysterious training method and became much stronger, I'm worried that I'll be torn apart by him"
As Jang Young-ho looked around, all the men in black that he looked at avoided his eyes.
He asked: "It's just to buy some time, and you can even exchange blows with the Martial Saint, why isn't anyone signing up for such a good opportunity?"
No one answered him.
The fat man whispered: "A hitman's life is also a human life, boss"
…
At the border.
Frost slowly covered the ground.
On the hillside, a black stream of metal was stepping on the white frost, moving as fast as lightning.
The Empire's vanguard Mech Mech Division, as the elite of the vanguard, has always been the best of the best.
After going over this mountain, they rushed down the slope and entered the Federation's borders.
The march was very fast, and the entire process was very smooth.
The soldiers advanced silently, everyone was fully focused as they operated the Mobile Mechs meticulously.
Even in the military's communication channel, no one dared to say a word.
Because the Field Marshal Zhang Pei Jia was in the military.
He followed the Empire's vanguard Mech Division, moving forward together.
He said he wanted to see for himself, and so he came.
He was a very practical person.
Today, he wasn't in a good mood, so no one dared to say anything, afraid of provoking him.
According to rumors, he received Her Highness Empress's envoy today.
Both sides closed the door and erupted into a heated argument. Empress's envoy brought a few subordinates and was about to slam the door and leave.
The Field Marshal directly tied up three envoys and shot one of them on the spot.
Iron Shroud also noticed this small dispute.
As the Fuxi Empire's most advanced military AI, it directly bypassed the Field Marshal and issued orders to all the Mech soldiers.
All soldiers were ordered to attack with all their might, without Iron Shroud's permission, they are not allowed to retreat, otherwise they'll be treated as treason.
It began to personally command this battle.
The Field Marshal was being made a figurehead by an AI, it's easy to imagine how angry he was.
From the looks of it, he was already on the verge of exploding.
The Field Marshal's trusted aides didn't mind talking too much about this.
They wanted everyone to know that the Field Marshal has made up his mind to follow the Emperor's footsteps.
On another side.
In front of the hill.
The Federation's vanguard has arrived.
The hastily assembled vanguard doesn't have much of an advantage.
If such a vanguard were to run into the Empire's regular army, defeat would be the only outcome.
But with that man here, everything is different.
The soldiers sat inside their Mechs, occasionally adjusting the holographic projection to a certain angle to silently observe that man.
He's the idol of every soldier.
A middle-aged man.
Thick eyebrows, hawk-like eyes, tanned skin, body as straight as a spear.
Dark green military uniform, black military boots, a sword and a shield on his shoulder — — – a sword and a shield, signify the rank of a General.
He silently sat on the shoulder of a 5-meter-tall Mech, lighting a cigarette as he silently stared at the hill outside the border.
According to the intel, the Empire's 477th Mech will be the first to arrive.
Once this regiment of 8000 Mechs shows up on the hill, the war between the two countries will immediately begin.
Zhang Zong Yang silently sighed.
The Federation has been at peace for too long, their military has been neglected.
On the other hand, the Fuxi Empire, under the Emperor's constant training and constant military drills, their fighting strength is much stronger than the Federation.
Right now, I can only rely on myself to hold them off.
Hopefully, before I run out of power, I'll be able to hold them off for a bit longer and buy the Federation some time to prepare.
While he was thinking, a black dot appeared on the hill.
Zhang Zong Yang's pupils dilated.
Black is the most commonly used color for Fuxi's Mech squadron.
After this black dot appeared, another black dot appeared.
Innumerable black dots appeared one after another.
The Mechs covered the entire hill, letting out a series of rumbling noises.
Thousands of black Mechs began to move towards the Federation's border.
The Martial Saint threw his cigarette away, stood up and shouted: "Prepare for battle, for the Freedom Federation!"
"For the Freedom Federation!" the soldiers followed suit.
The Mechs all let out a series of rumbling noises, preparing to attack at any moment.
When the Martial Saint was about to lead the charge, a strange scene appeared on the hill.
A black Mech jumped out from the crowd, leaving a trail of dust in its wake, heading straight to the front.
The black Mech opened up, as a military officer wearing a black uniform jumped out, standing on the Mech's shoulder.
The military officer shouted: "Fuxi Empire's Field Marshal Zhang Pei Jia, challenges the Federation's Martial Saint Zhang Zong Yang to a life or death challenge!"
His voice was like thunder, shaking the entire battlefield.
At such a crucial moment, such a scene actually happened.
All the Federation's troops that were ready to go stopped.
The thousands of Mechs on the hill also stopped.
At this moment, the armies of the two countries stopped moving.
It's very rare for there to be a life or death challenge between high-ranking generals of both countries.
Whenever such a situation occurs, the two generals represent their country's honor.
As soldiers, there's no way out in such a challenge, they can only do their best to kill the other party, or die.
This is a battle to the death between two generals, representing the outcome of the war between countries.
According to the rules of the battlefield, no one is allowed to interrupt this battle of the highest level.
Iron Shroud remained silent, and Impartial Goddess also didn't interfere.
In the history of humanity's wars, there have been countless battles like this.
In fact, the outcome of each of these battles has always greatly influenced the course of the war.
Iron Shroud and Impartial Goddess, while concentrating on mobilizing their troops, also paid close attention to the battle.
Zhang Zong Yang squinted his eyes to evaluate the other party.
It's been many years since he's met such a brave enemy.
"What do you want to challenge?" Zhang Zong Yang asked.
"A Mech battle" Zhang Pei Jia answered.
"Very well, as you wish"
Zhang Zong Yang went back into his Mech.
Zhang Pei Jia also jumped back in and closed the cockpit.
From both sides, a chorus of voices could be heard.
"Martial Saint!" "Martial Saint!" "Martial Saint!"
"Marshal!" "Marshal!" "Marshal!" "Marshal!"
The armies of both countries let out a thunderous roar.
The black Mech was the first to move.
It took large strides towards the bottom of the hill.
While running, the Mech took off all the weapons on its body.
Rotary High Explosive Machine Gun, High Frequency Molecular Knife, Long Range Shock Bullets, Small Laser Cannons, Concentrated Fire Armor-Piercing Bullets …
All of these weapons rolled down the hill, letting out loud clanking noises.
After taking off all of its accessories, the Mech's speed increased by 30%.
The Mech's speed continued to increase.
With the roar of its engine, the black Mech flew past the hill, heading straight for the Martial Saint.
"How interesting"
Seeing his opponent's actions, Zhang Zong Yang understood.
Is this a pure Mech battle?
He didn't think too much and made his decision.
The green Mech's entire body shook as all of its weapons fell to the ground.
— — -boom!
The Mech let out an unprecedented roar as it charged down the hill.
