On the second day after the end of the War in the Roland Star Domain, the remnants of two army groups successfully rendezvoused with an A-Class fleet. Unfortunately, there weren't many left from the ground forces that had been fighting, and the highest-ranking commander was just a deputy chief of staff who had been promoted to the rank of Brigadier. As for the captives, they had already returned to the Pross Empire with Eluma's fleeing warships.

At this moment, the main force was still stranded in space, with only the Archangel and a few warships landing.

Gazing at the distant array of a few thousand mechas, Amelia felt a wave of emotion...

Their ammunition had been completely depleted weeks ago, and the soldiers had fought to this point with their lives. They didn't have superhuman solitary soldiers like Feng Yi. Many times they had to rush to the battlefield to dismantle damaged parts.

When the remnants encountered each other, the emotions of the people on site were completely out of control, it was a heartwarming scene of frontline soldiers embracing...

Everyone was reciting their unit numbers, recounting the unforgettable memory of this period of time. Some cried and laughed, while some were weeping, thinking of many of the brothers who were persevering on the front lines just yesterday, only a day away from spilling blood on the battlefield, it was a regrettable outcome.

Just after the fleet descended, several high-ranking commanders led by Amelia walked out of the landing tower and shook hands with the senior officers on the ground. Three war journalists on site were also infected by the atmosphere, as they reported live while emotionally choked up. These poignant scenes would probably only appear on the Federal screen in a few weeks.

As the high commanders set foot on the Roland Star, countless soldiers pouring out from the landing tower, holding cigarettes and candies. No doubt, at this time, cigarettes were the greatest comfort to the soldiers.

Seeing cigarettes, fruits, and delicacies, the soldiers stopped crying, fussing, and threatening suicide. It was as though they had instantly thrown all unhappy memories to the back of their minds. Sometimes they were as innocent as children, but at times they would give their precious lives for a shred of passion.

Yes, they were brave, they were innocent, they were straightforward. They were also vulnerable, but they would never show weakness easily. On the contrary, all the comrades struggling on the frontline were tough men with iron bones. Even the female soldiers deserved the title of heroines. They might lose control of their emotions during the reunion, but once the emotions subsided, they would willingly conceal the pain in a significant part of their hearts, for they knew they were the guardians of this country. They would not expose more weaknesses, so weren't they the loveliest people in the world?

Watching everything from afar, Feng Yi casually sat on the Terminator, drinking and feeling the emotions of the crowd. His feelings were mixed... He never expected that the commander of this space battle would be Amelia. Yeah, Amelia was originally a top student from the Yingland Royal Military Academy. She had a great future, but who would remember that under her seemingly unaffected appearance, there were traces of the blood of many military officers?

Sacrifices are inevitable in war. This is an eternal truth. Looking into his own heart, he too would have made the same choices under these circumstances without hesitation. However, after learning from Eggy that this was just a groundwork for the space fortress cannon, Feng Yi felt a surge of rage for no reason. Weighing the pros and cons, he would never bet thousands of comrades' lives on a negligible probability.

Feng Yi finished half a bottle of liquor in one gulp, and found that emotions could occasionally become the main factor controlling a person's body. He felt dizzy for no reason and fell from a high place.

"Tsk tsk... Is Mr. Feng drinking alone?" Amelia sauntered over, completely unexpected to see Feng Yi on the Roland Star. She covered her cherry lips and chuckled at the sight of his staggering movement after the mecha fell.

Looking at the woman commander in a clean white uniform, Feng Yi slightly knit his brows, "How did you find me?"

"I saw you from up there."

"I need some quiet time." Feng Yi didn't look at her but reached for another bottle of old wine to drink by himself. Many officers of the fleet had fire in their eyes. Who was this kid in black? How could he get the beautiful captain to initiate a conversation with him?

Amelia was surprised that Feng Yi's attitude had become so cold, "Can we go for a walk, Mr. Feng, or rather, I should call you Special Envoy now, right?"

Feng Yi wasn't surprised that Amelia knew his true identity, "Rather than that, there's something else I want to know."

"What?" Amelia widened her innocent eyes.

"Are you the fleet captain?"

"Yes."

"So all orders are issued by you."

"Most of them, do you have a problem?"

"I have many questions. First: what was the reason for broadcasting Star Domain Broadcast? Why not show up at the time when the ground forces needed it? You should know that the enemy commander was Eluma. You should have received feedback from military intelligence before the fleet set sail. If you knew it was Eluma, were you planning to set a trap because she was eager to ascend to a higher position?"

"Second: why use ground forces as cannon fodder? Don't talk about ridiculous strategic purposes, I want to know if that negligible probability can convince you."

"Third..."

"That's not it."

Amelia stopped Feng Yi from continuing, she was indeed aware of the so-called intelligence feedback that he was talking about. She'd even investigated Eluma based on this information, but everything she did was in preparation for victory in this war, not for her own self-interest. Some of the issues Feng Yi brought up she hadn't even considered, like that negligible probability.

"Then, can you tell me your reason?"

"You might not be aware of many issues. The situation in the Northern War Zone is very tense. The Sky Eagle Fleet has been stuck in stalemate with Big Macs for a month without taking any action. Now the domestic war resistance sentiment is extremely high, and calls for war are getting louder. Demonstrations are happening in various public star domains every day, demanding for action. We must respond to the people with a resounding victory."

"You have reasons that can convince yourself, but overflowing merits won't bring back those lives." Feng Yi was clueless about what was going on in the commanders' heads. He could not accept that this seemingly gentle commander could make such a ruthless decision for strategic purposes. "But no matter what, it's all good. I won't have anything to do with these things in the future."

"What do you mean?"

"Being a soldier is pointless, I plan to apply for a discharge when I get back." Feng Yi laughed, shrugged, and that rare melancholic smile appeared on his face. It seemed like he had let go of everything. Even though Amelia was close by, she suddenly felt that Feng Yi was getting further away.
