Upon seeing Feng Yi, a look of surprise flashed across Augustin's usually calm and composed face. This man is very young!

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Blanche's pretty face, which was quickly replaced by a tranquil smile.

Feng Yi stood up straight and saluted in a standard military fashion, "Logistics and Transportation Soldier of Wind Thunder battle preparation team, Feng Yi reporting for duty."

"Quite a brave young man." Augustins nodded, his face full of approval.

As for the general, Feng Yi didn't feel too overly impressed. He believed that aside from their higher authority, generals weren't different from normal soldiers. They say any soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier, but Feng Yi didn't have much interest in that. His salute was merely a formality, after which he immediately asked, "May I sit down now?"

Augustins was taken aback. This young man is rather blunt. In all his years of service, it had been a long time since a soldier had been so casual in conversation with him. His face turned grim but he remained silent, curious to see Feng Yi's reaction, only to find Feng Yi sitting in the boss chair within two seconds without asking for permission.

"Huh? Why did you sit down?"

"Didn't the general indirectly allow me to?"

This...if it weren't for the rank on his shoulder, an outsider might mistake Feng Yi for the general.

But who was Feng Yi? He had never lowered himself to anyone in his life, let alone a general. Even if Greedy Wolf, the five-star general showed up, he would still not hesitate to take his seat if he wanted to. What do their affairs have to do with him?

Augustins knew how to deal with such soldiers. He squinted his sharp eyes and asked, "You're the soldier who rode the Gun Rider, right?"

"Yes."

"Why did the supply line not arrive within the specified time?"

"There was an unexpected incident."

"Nonsense! I don't want to hear excuses."

"This is not an excuse. If there's a problem, discuss it with our commander. I am a combat officer, I don't handle these things."

"There are no sophistries in the military. This is a collective responsibility. Stand up! Go stand outside the door for two hours."

Feng Yi instantly stood up from the chair. He knew it would end up like this. It would be strange if a man riding the Gun Rider alone from the third line of defense to here and didn't draw attention. It was better to leave a bad impression so they wouldn't come to him for anything in the future. Better to let everyone get on with their own work.

As Feng Yi left the room, Blanche turned to Augustins with amusement and whispered, "Your Excellency, this man can't be underestimated."

"What's the matter? What's his background?"

"His background is somewhat controversial. Some might say it is insignificant, others might consider it quite significant-which would you like to hear first?"

Augustins always enjoyed Blanche's teasing manner. He responded, "Start with the minor things."

Blanche put on her thinking face, "Feng Yi's information confidentiality level is A-level. According to my investigations, I only found out recently that he is the rumored deputy instructor of Wind Thunder." She started from what she learned about Franklin, and then some related information about obtaining a second-class Diamond merit.

Compared to ordinary people, it's indeed an extraordinary achievement, but nothing more. Augustin's face did not show much surprise, "Just these?"

"There's more. This next bit of information is noteworthy. Feng Yi is a child raised by Lasso, an instructor. That should give him quite the prestige."

"Lasso..." Augustins looked surprised - Lasso is a world-renowned mentor known as the recluse.

"And his experiences are not as simple as mere prestige. Not long ago, he cornered the Scorpio Organization using only his personal strength."

Perhaps ordinary people didn't know how frightening the Scorpio Organization was, but at this level, they certainly understood who Gail, known as the king of rapid shooting, was. That caliber of soldier was on the same level as Franklin. Only because he was under the Scorpio Organization and didn't show his face in public was he unable to rank on the Power List; his personal ability was even higher than Franklin's.

There's also Bella, the Flower of the Poppy in the assassin's world, and the card that has been wanted by the Federation for many years. The most terrifying thing was that Feng Yi defeated those people in a one-versus-three situation. Even Gail, the king of Rapid Shooters, was defeated in a confrontation, which eventually led to the complete breakdown of the Scorpio Organization by the officials. This news was already spreading among the civilians. As a confidential secretary, Blanche undoubtedly learned of the information in the first instance.

At this point, Augustins was thoroughly shocked, "I should also add the incident of his emergence from the heavy armored troops. I didn't realize that young rascal was so capable. Let him stand there a little longer."

Blanche gave a chuckle. It was his own doing, so he could blame no one else.

Half an hour later, the transport shuttle successfully landed at the temporary training ground of the Armored Infantry Division. As soon as Feng Yi got the accurate coordinates of the Armored Infantry Division, he sent a message with the coordinates to the shuttle.

Kenneth, the major in charge of the supply transportation, ran out of the shuttle almost in a rush. This usually mild-mannered middle-aged man seemed extraordinarily flustered today. He held his glasses in one hand and his crooked cap in the other and stumbled into the Command Room, stuttering, "Re...re...report!"

"Come in."

"Ge...ge...general, the...the...the supply transport team is reporting."

"Where's your number?"

"Re… re… rere… report to the..."

"Stop with your damn reports, enough is enough." Augustins quickly waved his hand with a black face, fearing that he would continue. If he kept repeating himself, he would be the laughingstock.

Seeing this, Amelia laughed. Right, must maintain the image of a lady.

"Speak up, why was it delayed by 24 days? Do you know what 24 days mean? The entire frontline had to change its battle plan because of these 24 days. From the third line of defense, we retreated here. I can clearly tell you that we were almost out of ammunition half a month ago. To maintain the morale, we kept retreating and lost two strategic high grounds in a row. I need a reasonable explanation."

"Um, because...um... Black Hole! We encountered a Black Hole!" Kenneth pointed to the sky. His abrupt statement added an odd twist to the serious atmosphere.

"What? Black Hole?"

"Yes, Bla—Black Hole."

"I think you're the Black Hole!" Augustins slammed his hand on the table. Even if you're making up an excuse, at least make it a plausible one. Do you want to argue this in a military court?

Kenneth seemed to dare not speak any more, and his mouth still muttered under his breath that it really was a black hole.

"I'll tell you what happened."

All eyes turned to Amelia as she explained, "Due to the urgency of the frontline, the Military Department arranged a direct insertion from jump point Z3-2885 to Big Macs. A small black hole causing spatial instability was found accessibly close to the jump point causing the jump trajectory to deviate, ultimately leading to failure. The shuttle tried to escape the gravitational pull of the black hole by accelerating to near light speed, hence the delay in the journey."
