However, something strange happened.
Despite the Bauhinia Republic's thorough preparations, the Thunder Dragon Empire's five-member team tournament failed to showcase much hidden strength.
Catherine's familiar old rival didn't show up. Without a Legendary Mechanic leading the team, the small group was like slightly resistant rats before Catherine's spearheaded Bauhinia Squad, scattering at the first charge.
A group of slightly stronger frontline mech pilots found it difficult to gain an advantage against a team led by a Legendary Mechanic and composed of second-line mech pilots.
As a result, Bai E practically had no room for action in the entire match, only firing two sloppy stray shots from a distance, as if trying to hit a bird. The team won easily.
Even after victory, Catherine still looked puzzled as she left the field.
The biggest question was...
"Where's Remington?"
