Chapter 656: Found
Of the four factions, the Earth Federation was currently the most overbearing. It held itself high and wanted a hand in everything, possessed the most resources and the largest military force, yet in reality it was being completely calculated against by the other three sides. There was no unity within it either; even when its subordinates were poached, it did not realize it. It did not have many trump cards to begin with.
Axis was currently keeping the lowest profile. In the eyes of the other three factions, Axis had the least combat capability. It was far away and had the fewest troops, but fortunately, it had acquired a powerful force unknown to the other three sides and was preparing to strike back at any time.
New Zeon and Anaheim were effectively on the same side. They possessed the most high-end strength, the greatest Technical Strength, and the strongest average combat power. With Xiao Ran as their core, they were preparing to overthrow Earth and completely wipe out Axis and the Federation. Once war began, after winning over the Federation's lower-ranking soldiers, they had the strength to crush the Federation head-on before Axis joined the war with Ideon. However, before General Revil was found, they continued to keep a low profile and accumulate strength.
As Cruze's results grew greater and greater, with the help of the Moderate Faction and the Commoner Faction—which had gained greater authority after losing their supreme leader, General Revil, allowing Maxi to take more power—he gradually began to nibble away at the Federation. Cruze was not a good person to begin with. If there was someone in an important position who had to be won over but belonged to neither the Moderate Faction nor the Commoner Faction—
Cruze would use any means necessary.
