Counterfeit Hero

Under the arrangement of Rahmon Land, Tian Xingjian once again arrived at the secret base of the Freedom Front.

The base always seemed to have only one scene, which was the training of the Freedom Fighters—tough and uninterrupted day after day. When the warriors in training saw Fatty, they all saluted him. Although their expressions were somewhat awkward, their tradition was to worship heroes. For any man stronger than themselves, these Freedom Fighters were never stingy with their respect.

After Tian Xingjian left the base last time, the three guides held a general assembly. They leveraged the momentum created by Fatty to add fuel to the fire, thoroughly reorganizing these fierce and fearless warriors, doing a lot of meticulous ideological work, and pointing out the defects of the Freedom Front. When they showed all of Fatty’s achievements to these Freedom Fighters, every one of them was utterly shocked.

All the warriors had personally experienced Fatty’s combat power, but seeing this guy sneak attack the enemy’s forward base, annihilate a frontline command post, rescue prisoners of war from behind enemy lines, trek deep into the Low Ridge Jungle to snatch Russell from the Mythical Army, and eventually take down Hopkins alone, it was like dancing on the blade of Death’s scythe each time. When the fighters asked themselves if they could accomplish these missions, the answer was unanimous—only certain death!

Apart from these battle feats, Fatty became a disciple of Algarfar not because he had saved Algarfar, but because he twice saw through the Gazalin Empire’s strategic tactics. This directly led to a reversal in the overall battle situation of the Newton Star System and Algarfar’s defection!

When the Freedom Fighters were deeply impressed by Fatty and felt ashamed for their humiliation of such a professional soldier, Sanjad dropped the final bombshell that completely awakened the Freedom Fighters! The list of Fatty’s brilliant achievements was built on twenty-three escapes. His victories were all achieved while on the run!

A mech soldier on a planet full of enemies, relying on the desire to survive and wilderness survival skills, fleeing all the way with no hope of victory or any help, using all his knowledge to gather and modify whatever he could find, struggling to survive again and again from desperate situations. Others might not know what these more than twenty escapes meant to a warrior, but the Freedom Fighters knew—it was a survival far more difficult than death.

The ideological work carried out by the guides ended without a summary; all the summaries were in Fatty’s escape records, and every warrior of the Freedom Front fell into deep thought. The atmosphere of the base changed day by day, no longer oppressive and filled with violence and death. The thick fog that shrouded the warriors’ minds gradually dissipated. They re-recognized their mission and learned anew what it meant to be a true warrior.
