Vladimir's choice of words was just perfect, and he immediately counter-questioned, after all, the fatty was also a mobile fighter, and moreover, a mobile fighter with considerable strength. If someone tried to find fault with mecha combat and named someone with not so strong ability, he could very well compare himself with that person.

"I am impressed by her!"

Suddenly, the fatty stretched out his chubby finger and pointed towards Mirami.

"Huh? Mirami."

"Yes, Mirami, the expert from the 12 Stars of Sena, was actually defeated in the mecha battle by an ordinary Red Cloak. Could such a groundbreaking result happen to a second person?"

The fact was, the fatty wanted to say that there are three people in this world he truly respects: one is Amelia, one is Elvis, and the last one is the Revenge Shadow Rider, which is Feng Yi.

In fact, his thought process was simple; as a direct leader, Amelia can be considered the highest officer of the Normandy fleet. Whenever there's a big or small battle, the first people thought of are him and Elvis. After all, their roles on the battlefield as special Red Cloaks are different from ordinary soldiers. They can do what ordinary soldiers cannot, and whatever ordinary soldiers can do, they can do it too, and do it even better, more perfectly.

Of course, deciding the outcome of a battle doesn't just come down to the application of tactics and on-the-spot command; it's also greatly affected by the performance of mobile fighters. Especially for someone at his level, taking out an enemy commander could greatly boost his own side's morale.

When two equally matched commanders compete against each other, and a battle enters into a tight and prolonged struggle, the role of the elite Red Cloaks will be maximized.

Zhang Xiaobo is another who cherishes his own life; whenever there's talk of war, he prays nonstop that there be no battles... and if there must be one, he prays it won't involve him. And the first person he thinks of in such times is Amelia.

Zhang Xiaobo has developed an instinctive conditioned reflex to respond to Amelia's fleet coordination. If he hears an order coming from the captain, his first reaction is almost always to shudder, followed by asking the staff officer to repeat the order, to make sure if Amelia is looking for him or someone else.

In reality, that's just the period of psychological preparation that Zhang Xiaobo has instinctively conditioned himself to, until he receives secondary confirmation. Only then will he listlessly, grudgingly, take a trip to the bathroom, wash his face, try to delay a little bit of time, do some mental preparation, before finally heading to the mecha display area.

So if there are three people in this world that he respects, Amelia is definitely one of them; she has almost become like a personal demon to Zhang Xiaobo.

The second person is Elvis.

The respect for Elvis is not about his strength, but about their relationship. They are friends as well as alumni, often going online together, hitting on girls together, and studying mecha combat tactics during their time at the Wind Thunder Military Academy.

Thus, over the years, the fatty has built a very deep friendship with Elvis, fighting side by side with him through numerous wars.

It can be said that their competitive relationship has always remained unchanged. Usually, the fatty has a hard time taking on Elvis because he feels that his own skills and talent could barely keep up with Elvis's meticulous handling, especially with Elvis's masterful use of the Cloud Drilling Spear combined with the Wind Assault Thrust.

Of course, it's not going to be easy for Elvis to defeat him either because the fatty has such an unpredictable thought process that he often comes up with some clever move Elvis wouldn't expect. Therefore, their head-to-head combat stats are basically a fifty-fifty split, which is, of course, excluding the times when the fatty has an explosive performance.

In other words, when he enters the power burst phase, Elvis is certainly at a disadvantage, but not an absolute one, because Elvis is familiar with his moves, and he is equally familiar with Elvis's. Since their fundamental skills are quite similar, even when Feng Yi bursts forth, it's challenging to defeat Elvis quickly; Elvis would choose the most appropriate manner to deal with him.

Besides, Feng Yi's power burst isn't entirely voluntary; it's somewhat akin to potential being stimulated, influenced by certain emotions. Exactly because Feng Yi usually pretends to be aloof and detached from worldly affairs, concealing his true strength, even when he can burst forth during his duels with Elvis, he does not readily reveal it.

One must understand, what is power burst? It's the capital for surviving; the more capital you have on the battlefield, the less danger you face. Only a fool would let more people know about their hidden trump card.

Therefore, only Elvis, Amelia, and a few others who understand Feng Yi know of his situation. Ordinary soldiers only know that Feng Yi and Elvis are special Red Cloaks of the Normandy fleet, but they are not aware of the fact that Feng Yi is also a warrior capable of power bursts.

Feng Yi is aware of his own strengths, but even in the power burst phase, it's not a given that he can overtake Elvis every time. As long as Elvis can withstand the brief burst period, Feng Yi will have his comeuppance.

The number of duels between Feng Yi and Elvis hasn't reached ten thousand, but it's certainly several thousand. In their daily mecha training, both view each other as rivals. Thus, Feng Yi acknowledges Elvis, and Elvis likewise admits respect for him. Although they don't say it out loud, Feng Yi genuinely respects Elvis.

As for the third person, Feng Yi.

Feng Yi and Feng Yi's rapport is somewhat unique - their relationship is, in fact, no less than that of Elvis's, as they have fought side by side and experienced military training together at the Mars base. Feng Yi has generously imparted his precious skills, without reservation, to both him and Elvis.

If Feng Yi's respect for Elvis is a reciprocal acknowledgment, his respect for Feng Yi is unquestioning and unconditional.

Whether in mecha battles, single combat, or even in daily life, Feng Yi feels that Feng Yi is an incredibly dependable person, especially with his emotional intelligence, being able to get along with anyone.

It could be said that the period of intense training at the Mars military base was the most difficult and exhausting time of Feng Yi's life, yet also the most valuable! Where Feng Yi was, laughter followed, where Feng Yi was, emotional moments were had; such statements were not at all untrue.

Of course, Feng Yi's relationship with Feng Yi also differs slightly from that with Elvis, as Feng Yi once lived with him in the same Martial Arts Hall, and they shared experiences in a club at Wind Thunder Military Academy, with no less affection between them than between Feng Yi and Elvis.

If Feng Yi regards Elvis as a competitor and arch-rival, his relationship with Feng Yi is that of both mentor and friend.

Indeed, it was at the Alpha Ancient Martial Arts Hall; Feng Yi had witnessed Feng Yi's prowess. Despite being a mere street sweeper, after battles with Sheng Qiangwei and Emily, he was determined to seek out Feng Yi and learn combat skills from him.

Since then, Feng Yi began to guide Feng Yi, both deliberately and otherwise. Although he never admitted it verbally or openly, Feng Yi knew in his heart that this was due to Feng Yi's nature, a man who did not boast about minor things but was rather pragmatic.

Alas, fate is unpredictable. Ever since learning of Feng Yi's death, Feng Yi has been somewhat downcast, having once thought that he or Elvis might fall in battle, dying before Feng Yi, for he was the Revenge Shadow Rider. But who would have imagined that the first to leave would be his old friend.

After that, Feng Yi lost the desire to continue serving in the military, not wanting to remember the overwhelming memories. Yet, despite his desire to cling to life, when he learned that the Blade Warrior could traverse parallel universes using a Time-Space Machine and possibly see another world's Feng Yi, Feng Yi uncharacteristically disregarded his own safety and eagerly wanted to check out his old comrade in another dimension.

However, he still claimed aloud that he wanted to see himself in these other dimensions—they were all the same kind of people: stubborn and resilient, who seldom cry or express their true emotions outwardly but rather prove everything with direct actions.
