Through feedback from Noah, Feng Yi soon learned about the Black Devil Army's invasion of Alpha. He suspected that there was yet another force acting as instigators behind the scenes. However, he could do nothing but watch as it unfolded. He hoped that the inhabitants of Alpha would have some luck...
The Blazing Army's training was in its late stages. Feng Yi was engrossed in drafting the overall strategic plan for the Death Desert every day. He wasn't a military strategist and he hadn't studied professional command knowledge. He could only spar with the Imperial soldiers through what he thought were reasonable combat plans, refining them again and again.
Fortunately, it was unlikely that Saudi would abandon its other strategic plans just because of some remote planet, so Feng Yi didn't worry about the situation in Mardis being like last time, with several ace cards appearing at once.
The Blazing Army, wandering in the Death Desert, was growing like a rolling snowball... With the progress of time, the Empire became aware of the emerging formidable force that Blazing Army had become at the edge of the Death Desert. Despite the army's less than ideal configuration, the individual combat abilities of the soldiers couldn't be underestimated. Several border guards had been wiped out in a shameless nocturnal raid by the Blazing Army within a few days.
Besides, this shameless army, much like bandits, left no stone unturned in their path. Whether it was mecha ammunition or clothes stripped from corpses, there was nothing they wouldn't stoop to.
In just two weeks, advancing towards the Bellarxi Mountains along the eastern side of the Death Desert, a 4,800 kilometers front line, three of the Empire's border regiments were plundered. The exact number of border squads plundered is countless, with the number of mecha looted alone reaching 6,126.
You'd never know when or from where the Blazing Army would strike. Day, night, or even on weekends, they seemed to have precise scanning equipment, knowing strategic information in advance just like having their own advance warning system. Whether they used coded communications or a secret code, every time the Empire attempted to suppress them, they would come up empty-handed. It was simply unfathomable. Could it all be chalked up to mere coincidence? If so many coincidences existed in the world, there wouldn't be need to fight this war.
In two weeks, Mardis lost half of an armored infantry division. Vivian, in charge of the Northern War Zone, refused to accept this outcome at any cost. Who could be the enemy's commander? Amelia? No, she was with the Normandy Fleet. It couldn't be Greedy Wolf either—he was too shrewd and well-versed in tactical deployment, with a style of offensive often compared to the piercing sun. In this modern war of tempo, he would never waste time meticulously cleaning up the battlefield.
Besides, as the Federal War God, the Federation would never collapse as long as he was there. There was no way such a figure would actually be on the frontlines.
More importantly, the enemy's way of conducting operations didn't seem like that of a fully experienced commander. If she was in their place, she would have achieved even more in several battles, rather than cautiously sparring with the Empire.
Dealing with such a pushover... Hmm, if she were to send more troops to Mardis, even his omnipotent capabilities couldn't save him from being exposed under a carpet-style offensive. It seemed like she really might need to dispatch three more armored infantry divisions to Mardis.
In the beautiful grassland oasis, a small contingent was engaged in a fierce battle with the Imperial Mecha. To fully expel the Imperial mecha from the Death Desert, H2, H3. H5 coordinates, a total of thirty main battle mechas repeatedly charged the checkpoint firepower point...
Though the team led by Takla was small in number, their morale was high. With Takla there, the team's combat effectiveness was unparalleled. They could even fight against higher ranked opponents. And for this, all thanks went to Feng Yi, the leader of the Blazing Army. Although the gratitude was kept in his heart, if there was ever a chance, he would definitely choose another way to respond.
Suddenly, countless red dots appeared on the scanner unexpectedly, "Sentry, what's going on in direction Y8?"
"Lord Takla." The sentry urgently reported, "A large number of mechas were found about kilometers away, conservatively estimated to be a regiment."
Takla was shocked. In the Death Desert, there were only two powerhouses able to mobilize such forces, the Blazing Army and the Imperial Mecha. But, he had rarely heard about the Blazing Army having a monotonous composition of Mechas. It must be the Imperial Mecha then. "Retreat."
Meanwhile, the same situation was also happening in several other areas of the Death Desert where a large number of Imperial Mechas were detected slowly advancing...
Regardless of whether it was the imperial army or not, the rebels, emboldened by their high morale, had literally lost their minds. Some who initially volunteered to fight gradually realized something was not right and wanted to escape, but by then it was too late. The smarter ones discreetly withdrew when they saw something was amiss.
What was surprising was the reaction of the Imperial Mecha, they chose not to pursue. There was no need. The Imperial soldiers also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they received orders from the Military Department. In fact, pursuing would only create confusion, a few scattered rebels couldn't stir up any trouble. Vivian aimed to shrink the movement range of the Blazing Army in the process of advancing.
As for the Blazing Army, the usually obscure Noah suddenly came to see Feng Yi. "Come with me."
Inside the tent, several military officers were puzzled... This was truly rare. At the meeting, Noah, a low-ranking officer, unexpectedly ran to invite Feng Yi with disregard for regulations? Well, so be it. Since he was personally brought by Feng Yi and they had a special relationship, it was inappropriate to comment. When Feng Yi stood up to leave, several officers gave him knowing looks.
To ensure Noah's secrecy, he had been repeatedly instructed to have less interaction with the soldiers. When Noah came to summon him, Feng Yi's heart skipped a beat. With an apologetic smile, he stepped out of the tent and his face instantly became serious. "What do you want?"
