Everyone looked forward to observing the upcoming sparring session between Saint Dise Larkinson and Saint Alessandro Devos, otherwise known as the Wind of Destruction.
The matchup between them should be interesting to say the least.
The disparity between ace pilots was obvious. No one could dispute that Saint Dise was younger, weaker and less experienced.
However, most people considered the First Sword Mark III to be a superior machine relative to the Black Lord.
That did not necessarily mean the Black Lord was weak. The Devos Ancient Clan was still one of the ruling powers of the Terran Alliance. It had persisted for thousands of years and accumulated a lot of wealth and power. It mastered many of the high technologies that made the Terrans competitive against the other major powers.
