After a lengthy 5-second observation... Feng Yi couldn't help but gasp in shock, restraining his impulse to call on Hugo. He saw that the old brother was armed with two broadswords. Any distraction could easily lead to a catastrophic accident and death, so he decided to go it alone in the middle.

The pursuit by the Black Devil star cluster continued uninterrupted, and although the Normandy fleet had been on their tail non-stop, they had never managed to inflict effective firepower damage. Nearly over 90% of the laser beams had been neutralized by the Light Shield, with the remaining damage completely dissipated by the reactive armor on the exterior of the ships.

As time intensified, even if the energy depletion of the rear light shields was excessive, they would quickly be replaced continuously by the ships moving back and forth behind them...

This rotation replacement collective had ample time to replenish energy and absolute execution power, during the replacement process, they did not even need to switch to a standby Light Shield. At this very moment, as the formation continuously shifted, the bow-shaped formation, like a sky-cleaving sword, had transformed into an invincible iron bastion throughout its changes.

Yes, this team was like a wall, or a rock that could withstand any attack. Every time the synchronized light beam struck the body, shields, turrets, or cannon mounts of the fiery fleet's ships, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, unable to stir the slightest ripple, instantly turning into specks of light that faded away...

All of this was so astonishing that even Emily couldn't help but feel shocked!

Indeed, after speaking with Feng Yi, she had deliberately slowed down the pace of the chase—but still... even if Feng Yi hadn't sent her a Heavenly Communication, could the Normandy really chew through such an iron torrent?

At this moment, the fiery fleet was not even counterattacking. On the surface, it appeared that the rebels, desperate to escape, were neglecting their defenses; however, you must understand that for the sake of the integrity of their plan, these soldiers could not possibly be aware that the pursuing troop was merely putting on an act, so not to retaliate was the commander's order.

In other words, being able to remain calm and composed under such conditions sufficiently demonstrated that the psychological quality of the fiery warriors far exceeded that of Normandy's. She really couldn't understand why such an untrained group could exhibit a fiercer combat prowess than that of the regular army?

Just the act of fleeing had demonstrated such robust qualities; if they were to counterattack, there would certainly be casualties in our frontline, and then the speed of the pursuit would be negatively affected, not to mention whether this group could be defeated. Bearing substantial cost was inevitable.

Emily couldn't figure out why such a seemingly disorganized troop could perform much better in battle than the regular forces?

However, the shocked people were not limited to Emily alone. Through astrogation, Kexiao had also noticed the array changes within the fiery army. Judging by the current rhythm, let alone the Normandy's frontline troops, even if given a lifetime, you might not be able to destroy many, unless a malfunction beyond resistance occurred in the fiery fleet's shuttle, and Normandy's firepower consumption wouldn't even keep up with the fiery fleet's alternating recovery speed.

It must be admitted, Feng Yi indeed was a genius that continuously brought him pleasant surprises. With such a formation, the troops in the rear naturally felt at ease because it only requires three rounds of rotation for the Light Shield energy to be quickly replenished under the sunlight. What you don't know is that by visual estimation, this square formation can change into as many as ten squads. That means, only firepower far exceeding the current threshold could completely suppress the fiery army.

However, while fortifying the rear defense, the fiery army also had a severe drawback, specifically, the weak front-row defense. This phenomenon, of course, Kexiao didn't consider a big problem, as with Feng Yi's abilities, it had probably already been considered and perfectly fixed, right? Definitely a fine troop...

But actually, was the fiery army really that excellent? The soldiers themselves didn't think they were all that great; rather, they only understood a life lesson better than those high and mighty commanders, a maxim left to everyone by the corps commander.

Just like what Feng Yi said, besides death, what else could the fiery fleet lose? Better to die sooner and be liberated; living was rather torturous, especially when initially, they had nothing at all, be they rebels or space pirates, they were just stuck in the mire with no way out.

Only because of the fiery army, wearing military uniforms, did they transform from a person stuck in the mire into a collective with identity, a country, and personal honor.

Although it couldn't be called a gift from God, in a way, this wasn't originally theirs to have, yet the fiery army gave them this gift. What else could the brothers be dissatisfied with? Thus, no matter what, everyone would share the honor and disgrace with the fiery army, and what of death then?

Compared to death, survival was even more agonizing for the former selves; as the old saying goes, too scared to die yet too meager to live, but now it's different, if they were to die, they would have a group of brothers to accompany them.

Fearlessness made them even stronger. Devil-like training reminded these zombies that they were still alive. Steel and gunfire made them recognize that they were not just alive, but upright men, warriors who could pilot Mecha to kill enemies in battle. Isn't this the romance of men? This collective, sharing honor and disgrace, is their harbor and the haven of their hearts.

And for this reason, they never questioned this hope-giving collective, nor did they question any orders issued by the commander. The only word left in their dictionary was obedience...
