Chapter 6704 The Center of Attention
When the Lionheart flew towards the plasma sword-wielding lesser phase lord, its ace pilot continued to receive epiphanies.
He reflected on his past and felt ashamed for his many failings and shortcomings.
It was wrong for Ark to demand attention for attention's sake.
It became especially bad in the last few years. Everytime a younger and more talented Larkinson expert pilot became a saint, Ark felt more and more jealous at their fortune. Despite having received an amazing modern high-tier expert mech himself, Ark still failed to break through with the ease that he initially envisioned.
This caused him to doubt himself at times. What was wrong with him? Why was he unable to get past his bottleneck like Saint Tusa and Saint Commander Casella Ingvar? As much as he hated to admit it, the fact that those other Larkinson ace pilots managed to reach their current ranks under similar or significantly worse conditions meant that his willpower was ultimately not up to standard!
He hated this conclusion!
The thought that he was inferior to them on this critical aspect ate into his heart like a persistent worm.
Ark tried his best not to think about it or affect his mood, but there were times when he could not help himself.
What was he missing that would allow him to close the gap with the ace pilots?
He had been wondering about this question for a long time.
Ark had been afraid that he would never be able to find the answer until he was beginning to age and fall from his prime condition.
Fortunately for him, he finally managed to find the correct answer.
The answer was duty.
Just as it was the duty of the soldiers of the 77th Warborn Mech Division to follow the orders of their superiors, it was also the duty of General Ark to lead them to victory and keep them alive as much as possible.
