It is evident that the strength of the Haier Brothers lies in their cooperation. Once these two work together, even a warrior of Kexiao's caliber, such as the Revenge Shadow Rider, will have their hands full. That being said, their weakness is also quite clear; they must both be present to perform at such an exceptional combat level.
For this reason, the Federal Army has specifically developed a set of tactical plans for them.
There are two plans in total.
The first plan is the easiest to understand: the two either appear together, fight together, and rest together.
The second plan is that if they encounter Kexiao, one super soldier or even two super soldiers should not engage with this person. At least three to four people need to fight simultaneously. However, if the Haier Brothers are present, then even with just the two of them, given that they have support, they can choose to repay the Military Department, wait for support, and support along with Kexiao. This also proves that the Haier Brothers indeed hold a very important positional value among the super soldiers in the Federal Army. Their strategic value has even surpassed many material things that can be measured by money.
Yet, such excellent Haier Brothers, their combined combat value on the battlefield is actually considered less than that of the sniper Mu Tou, which might seem unbelievable, but it is the truth.
The reason for this is obvious because the Haier Brothers' cooperation requires rigid conditions and a special triggering mechanism. They can only perform far beyond individual levels when they are together.
If paired with someone else, they cannot perform at their original level, and they may even have an adverse effect due to unskilled coordination and their own limitations.
After all, the Haier Brothers' forte is in cooperation, not solo combat. Their individual level is not the most outstanding at every stage; on the contrary, they are of the type that is quite unremarkable.
This can be explained by comparing them to an ordinary driver; under the same conditions, the Haier Brothers can't beat Elvis, not the hefty Zhang Xiaobo, and at the White Robe Stage, it would naturally be impossible for them to beat Apophis, not to mention Ophelia or other warriors.
In such a scenario, the young prodigy Dovir is the exact opposite of the Haier Brothers. As a rising star to be nurtured by the Federal Army, Dovir has very little need for cooperation. Instead, his personal qualities are very well-rounded. If he were to face them one on one in the same class, even ten Haier Brothers together might not be enough for him to fight.
Unless they come across a warrior of Kexiao or Revenge Shadow Rider's caliber. But even if Dovir meets an opponent of such a level, it's not impossible to fight. If our side has one more sniper, there's still a battle to be fought.
From this perspective, Mu Tou's battlefield role becomes very clear. As a battlefield ghost, the sniper's role is not only feared by ordinary generals, but even the enemy commander must not take them lightly. If you discount the Haier Brothers and have to find a reason why someone else might not fail under 2 versus 1 conditions, obviously, the remaining person would be Mu Tou, the Revenant Sniper lurking in the shadows.
Feng Yi understands this, Kexiao understands it, and anyone would know this. Take the battle of the twin stars, for example, the Revenge Shadow Rider could take on four at once and dash onto the battlefield to support everyone, but don't overlook the fact that in that battle, the targets that the Revenge Shadow Rider attacked upon entering the battlefield were not Silver White Sword Mary, not the long-established White Robe Xia Mu, not the young elite Black Edge, and even Jiu Ling, among the top three starters, was ignored by the Revenge Shadow Rider.
Why? The reason is simple, because the Revenge Shadow Rider chose to target Revenant No.3, the betrayer sniper Mu Tou, first. This is clear because instead of saving his allies in the nick of time, he chose to take down Mu Tou. Apparently, the Revenge Shadow Rider knew who posed the greatest threat to him, and therefore, he abandoned other targets and focused his attention on one person.
From this, it is evident that Mu Tou's importance on the battlefield is even greater than that of the Haier Brothers. Although the Haier Brothers are also important and their value can surpass other super soldiers, Mu Tou's value can even surpass the aforementioned two. This is because the cooperation of the Haier Brothers has limitations and restrictions, but Mu Tou is different; he can cooperate with anyone.
Of course, if you ask who is stronger in individual combat, Mu Tou or the Haier brothers? Frankly speaking, they are quite evenly matched and unremarkable. It's worth noting that the individual combat ability of the Haier brothers themselves is very weak; their strength lies in teamwork, finding gaps, and looking for opportunities to constrain the enemy.
Although Mu Tou's situation is different from the Hairs', and he belongs to the type that waits for an opportunity to strike swiftly, he specializes in long-range combat, and his mecha configuration is also primarily for long-range shooting. If it really comes to close-quarters combat, it's hard to say who would have the advantage.
From this, we can see the far-sightedness of Feng Yi's vision. It was his recommendation that made Mu Tou a super soldier. Perhaps Sky Shadow realized this too, knowing Feng Yi and naturally inferring Mu Tou's difference from the faction-based students, the Military Department faction, and the family factions, and this is why he chose to accept Mu Tou.
Then there's Roland, who should be the least in need of care within the team. On the contrary, if it's about caring, it shouldn't be everyone taking care of her, but rather she should be taking care of everyone else's feelings.
If Feng Yi and Sky Shadow are the kind of people who can recover energy regardless of any time, any place, any situation, then Roland's case definitely belongs to the type whose energy will not leak at all.
Yes, you can't really understand her, whether in the past or present, or even Roland in women's clothes, she has always seemed to be separated from the rest by a faint, barely perceptible veil.
Once a super soldier, Roland's personal level of performance has been exceptionally stable, and this stability is not about consistency in skill level, but being able to evenly match in any situation, at any time, in any place, facing any circumstance or any opponent.
In fact, at first, nobody really noticed this.
After all, Roland's presence was too faint, faint enough to make people around her inadvertently overlook her existence. However, in every battle, Roland's scores against her opponents always fluctuate around the number 5, slightly higher or lower. No matter who it is, no one has managed to completely overpower Roland, and similarly, Roland could not completely overpower her opponents.
The fluctuation of scores at this stage makes the outcome not very distinct. A bit more luck and you could win, a bit less and Roland might take the victory. Exactly because of these small score gaps in winning or losing, other pilots find sparring with Roland the least interesting, as fighting with others means you can either win exhilaratingly or lose decisively.
But fighting against Roland, this usually does not happen. Instead, you will feel very uncomfortable, and you may not even notice your own improvement because even if you think you have progressed, once you start fighting her, you will soon find that she can keep up. She always maintains a just-right distance, neither too close nor too far, in an irremovable position.
Over time, the super soldiers of the Federal Army gradually lost their desire to challenge Roland, and her presence became increasingly less noticeable.
Roland was indifferent to the actions of the Federal super soldiers. However, until one day, when facing a master like the Soaring Sword Dragon, Roland managed to intervene twice in a near-death situation for Dovir, something not even the Revenge Shadow Rider might be able to achieve. Roland did it, and it was only then that people seemed to have a new understanding of her.
Everyone realized the true strength of this gentle and reserved beautiful youth, who never retreated from any situation, was terrifying!
Everyone's perception of Roland changed; some decided to connect with her to build a good relationship, and others decided to seek her guidance after going back. The realization was not that their strength had not improved, but that Roland was just too strong. Her holding back wasn't due to a lack of strength; it was to motivate everyone.
