Vivian, a Saudi national, graduated from Sigmund Military Academy at just 20 years old, a shining star among the younger generation. At 23, she had already made significant achievements, notably contributing to the eradication of the Bermuda galaxy space pirates and was hailed as a preparatory tactical commander at the Saudi Command Academy in the same year.
It is rare for such a young woman to have accomplished so much, but there is no more information about Vivian available beyond this; her identity is clearly highly classified.
Feng Yi sighed and tapped the light screen projector, the virtual image disappeared with two beeps... he pondered the next steps of his plan. He squatted down, picked up a stone from the ground, and began to slowly draw a rough map of the Saudi camp based on his recent observations.
The Saudi main force is stationed in Xius Highlands, an area of 16,000 square kilometers. Excluding the troops in Stan City and other regions of Big Macs, the number of people in Xius Highlands is around 25,000.
Here they have a Zeus Shield-class battleship, three escort ships, and five space transports. To deal with any unexpected situations, troops have set up a camp spanning several kilometers long on Xius Highlands. The army group maintained a Level 3 state of readiness, and even commander Vivian stayed in the camp. This humble yet dignified figure explains her popularity among the troops.
However, Feng Yi did not entirely trust what the military intelligence soldier said. He wasn't a commander, yet assuming their perspective made him skeptical that a high-ranking officer would reveal the full truth or keep prisoners in one place for too long. Feng Yi felt ambiguous about the former piece of intelligence, but if possible, he wanted to verify the truth and then make a decision based on his findings.
Feng Yi roamed the Saudi highlands for three days without finding a good time to make a phone call. But in these three days, he would sneak into the camp each night, quickly disable the control lines of surveillance devices, and make use of Eggy's body as a medium to keep the surveillance devices functioning normally. He could do this within a span of minutes.
Finally, on the fourth day during lunch, when two quarreling sentries left their posts at the same time to go to the restroom, Feng Yi was left with a blind spot among the eight guard posts.
He only had one opportunity. Feng Yi knew Vivian was in her room because guards would regularly deliver her lunch. Despite this, Feng Yi had to infiltrate. It was his only chance.
Whoosh...
He pulled open the tent and jumped in, only to find Vivian sitting inside watching a light screen projection of the sand table. Her delicate ears moved slightly. Hearing the noise, Vivian slowly raised her head. Though to Feng Yi it felt incredibly slow, it was still within 0.5 seconds...
Now, Vivian was the only one in the room. The other staff officers had probably gone to eat. So, what was he supposed to do? If you asked Feng Yi, he didn't know. In fact, he hadn't considered that the two sentries would suddenly leave and provide him with an opportunity. Yet he didn't want to miss out when the opportunity knocked.
Feng Yi drew his military knife in an instant, brainstorming a solution. Using the reflection of the knife and the light, he could temporarily blind Vivian and swiftly leave her field of view. Or, he could risk being caught within Vivian's line of sight. Unfortunately, the sun didn't shine from his back; if it did, even Galileo's coffin would explode.
At least, he couldn't let Vivian cry out. If he knocked her unconscious and took her hostage, the plan to rescue Augustins might succeed or most likely fail. But it wouldn't have a significant impact on the state of the war.
He had no time to think; the window of opportunity was fleeting. He needed to either come up with a strategy or knock her out.
"Reporting." Feng Yi stood at a stiff military salute, throwing a salute.
Vivian's gaze met Feng Yi's. Her long flowing hair, delicate features, and a gentle, neighborhood sister-like quality about her, made her emerald eyes neither coy nor aggressive. With a spark in her eyes, she made Feng Yi look away.
With a calm voice, Vivian said, "Reporting should be done outside the door, didn't your superiors teach you that?"
"Yes!"
"Hmm, which unit are you from, what do you want with me."
"This… Report…"
Feng Yi's embarrassed manner was making Vivian rather frustrated. Frontline warfare is tough, Vivian didn't want to waste her breath on such matters. "Alright, alright, just say why you're here."
"Ma'am, I saw two sentries leave their posts during their handover period when I was on my way to the cafeteria. Our military has always been disciplined and excellent in conduct, strictly forbidding any negligence of duty. The behavior of those two comrades has seriously damaged our military's image. This reflects irresponsibility towards you." Feng Yi acted righteously, and his tone was firm. He had a smug look, as if damaging others without benefiting himself, deeming this approach commendable. After finishing his words, he couldn't help but sneak a peek at Vivian. Seeing her stare at him unblinkingly, he shied away, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Oh? And what do you suggest we do about this?"
"What should we do? Well… I thought I should report this to you."
"You've done well." Vivian flashed a faint smile and instantaneously looked down, no longer paying him attention.
"Ma'am, may I...?"
"Hmm, you can leave now." Vivian didn't even raise her head to look at him. How typical of soldiers like Feng Yi, she had seen too many like him. The two sentries abandoning their posts were indeed wrong and needed to be disciplined. But compared to this, Vivian disliked Feng Yi even more, the type to backstab and ruin his companions.
"Yes." Feng Yi saluted again. As he finished speaking, he lifted the tent flap and left swiftly. He had considered sneaking in when Vivian was not looking, but any noise would make her suspicious of him. Yet there was no other viable solution. At least, he hadn't aroused Vivian's suspicion.
The two sentries would inevitably be replaced by the upper management following this incident and end up in solitary confinement. But how could Feng Yi give up halfway through? Still relentless, he took the chance to infiltrate into Vivian's tent again on the following morning. Vivian usually went jogging at 5 am, and Feng Yi had already figured out her daily routine.
But when he infiltrated the tent for the second time, he saw Vivian again, and was momentarily stunned. She usually went for long runs from 5:30 am to 7 am, why suddenly…
Once again, Feng Yi exhibited the determination of a battle-hardened soldier. Standing at attention, his military boots made a snapping sound. This was an impeccable military posture. He raised his hand and gave the Saudi military salute and announced, "Reporting."
Vivian saw Feng Yi and stumbled, "Why is it you again?"
