"Pop." The cockpit door of the Leader popped open, and Grant jumped out in a fury. Feeling both humiliated and angry, he rushed up to Yuri and swung his fist, yelling, "You are so despicable. Using such a trick to sneak attack."

Yuri quickly retreated behind Nadal and put on a naive and confused expression, saying, "Do you reason with the enemy like this on the battlefield?"

Nadal stood in front of the fat man and sneered at Grant, saying, "You were the one who attacked first. How can it be called a sneak attack in a head-on confrontation? Losing is losing. Can't you accept defeat?"

All the soldiers of the first company of the special reconnaissance battalion surrounded them and were eager to fight. A situation of a group brawl was about to erupt.

Grant's face alternated between red and white. Finally, he left a be sulky of "We'll see" and led the people of the special forces battalion away in anger.

Alice thought this despicable fat man was extremely hateful. His methods were so despicable and shameless to the extreme. She really wanted to see the scene of the fat man being beaten and begging for mercy. However, after all, Grant had lost this competition. Staying any longer would only be self-degrading. Before leaving, she couldn't help but glare at Yuri fiercely. But she saw that the despicable fat man was constantly blowing kisses at her. Filled with anger yet helpless, she stomped her foot and ran away in a huff, ignoring Grant who called her.

The camp finally became quiet. Nadal looked at the fat man with a half-smile and said, "Not bad, fat man. Making Grant suffer such a big setback. I underestimated you."

Yuri naively touched his head and said modestly, "Just luck. Just luck. My mecha combat level is only good enough to bully those with relatively low IQ."

Amid the laughter of all the soldiers in the company, Rashid announced, "From today on, Lieutenant Yuri, the first company of the special reconnaissance battalion of the 16th Division welcomes your joining."

Nadal left with a big smile on his face. Seeing Grant's defeat was his greatest pleasure. He didn't expect this unremarkable fat man to have some real skills. Not only was he extremely venomous when insulting people, but his methods were also despicable and base enough. Haha, this time they have really got the upper hand over the special forces battalion. Nadal made up his mind to spread the news at the division headquarters later.

The sentiment of sharing a common enemy is most likely to bring strangers together. And a companion who makes the opponent suffer is definitely a hero in this group. Therefore, Yuri, who was wearing the halo of a hero, quickly integrated into the special reconnaissance battalion.
