The moment Yue Xiaofei appeared, every eye in the hall turned to him.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The members of Reverse Scale Squad immediately stopped what they were doing, fell into formation, and stood ramrod straight.
They looked at Yue Xiaofei with more than their usual respect and trust. There was anticipation in their eyes now, and fierce devotion.

"Third!"
Yue Xiaofei paused and raised the Black Dragon Tally in his hand. "I am your supreme commander. Codename: Swordbearer!"
He looked at the twelve battle-hardened warriors before him and gave his order in a deep voice.
"Change into your new gear!"
At his command, twelve alloy equipment cases, prepared in advance, slowly rose from the floor.
Their lids opened, revealing sets of brand-new Combat Uniforms, black as ink.
They were no traditional military uniforms, but close-fitting battle robes with a futuristic design and a deadly elegance.
Made from an unknown, flexible material, they bore subtle patterns like dragon scales. Lightweight armor gleaming with a cold metallic sheen covered their vital areas.
A blood-red emblem of a dripping sword was stamped on the chest
