The battle soon commenced.
What surprised many was that Hawkeye and Black Widow were not positioned at the front of the team, but rather at the back. In front of them stood at least a few thousand ordinary farmers.
"How disgraceful that the chosen ones are hiding in the back," Pharaoh A San remarked. The other high priests nearby agreed with his sentiment. As the first to pledge allegiance to the Dragon Kingdom, even if they switched their loyalty to the Eagle Head Kingdom now, they would still be treated coldly. Ironically, they found themselves hoping more than the Dragon Country people that the Dragon Kingdom would continue to thrive.
In contrast, the Owl Alliance, Maple Leaf Kingdom, and Kangaroo Country had a different perspective. They wished for the Eagle Head Kingdom to regain its strength, just as the President of Eagle Head Nation had suggested.
The Grand Duke of the Owl Alliance noted that while the Eagle Head Kingdom remained calm, their superheroes had developed too quickly. They needed to absorb more energy from Dian Ling Neng Dian in a safe environment before advancing further.
Other dukes echoed this sentiment. "Indeed, this tactical arrangement by the Eagle Head Kingdom is excellent. Once they develop properly, they too can become as powerful as the Dragon Kingdom."
People from different nations held entirely different views regarding Hawkeye and Black Widow's positioning. Those closer to the Dragon Kingdom deemed them cowardly, while nations allied with the Eagle Head Kingdom considered it a reasonable strategy for early development.
At this moment, the Eagle Head Kingdom faced Dark Matter, which posed an even greater threat than before; their defensive line was more vulnerable than in previous encounters against the formidable Dark Nest Lord.
There were no large numbers of Small Aircraft or Dark Arks. Not even a single Dark Brainworm was present, only a few Light Sanctuary Knights. Observing this lineup, the President of Eagle Head Nation felt relieved. He placed Hawkeye and Black Widow at the back of the team. It wasn’t as if those allies had said they would develop steadily. They were not as powerful as Ye Feihong, who could charge into the Dark Matter Army.
They allowed the two to stay at the First Line of Defense, lingering at the rear of the frontline. Although it had been tested that both Hawkeye and Black Widow had far surpassed ordinary humans, they could easily defeat a dozen armed soldiers with their bare hands. However, it was evident that their abilities still fell short when compared to the formidable characters within Dark Matter. The units like the Dark Overlord posed a significant challenge; whether they could break through their defenses was uncertain.
Nevertheless, there was hope that both of them could continue to enhance their strength, perhaps even reaching or surpassing Ye Feihong's level.
As the battle commenced, the strong Hawkeye stood atop a high tower with his bow and arrow, continuously shooting at the distant Dark Matter foes. Although he could eliminate a Dark Fanatic with a single arrow, it was incomparable to Ye Feihong's ability to use sword energy to wipe out a group of Dark Matter enemies in one go.
On the other hand, Black Widow was far more captivating to watch. Armed with two short swords, she fought at the frontlines, utilizing her agile movements to position herself excellently. With her stunning and flashy combat techniques, she relentlessly took down Dark Matter foes. She looked impressive—beautiful and deadly in battle. Yet in reality, her effectiveness in killing Dark Matter was still far inferior to that of Hawkeye.
The people of San Country laughed wildly, mocking what they called a legendary superhero. They were all show and no substance. If it weren't for the thousands of Farmers acting as Meat Shields, those two would have been dead long ago. Even the members of the Owl Alliance were deeply disappointed. They had initially planned to join the Super Soldier Program, but after witnessing the performance of Eagle Head Kingdom, they decisively abandoned that idea.
Rare Minerals were already extremely scarce, and as one of the first to enter the Industrialized Nation category, many of their Metal Veins had been exhausted centuries ago.
