Feng Yi, who was looking around, was lost in thought... He hadn't understood the situation yet; he had instructed Noah to report to the front lines in a low-key manner, but as soon as he woke up...

Moreover, John, the elders, the gunpowder barrel, wolf head, and even the soldiers of the warship had all gathered on deck, they stood like spears at attention, their expressions solemn, facing cheers like a wave of high tides one after another...

Whispering in the distance... the roar of a jet engine echoed in their ears... As the Zeus Shield descended, a huge Death Ray laser emblazoned with the Saudi symbol revealed itself through the blue and white. This was now a personal trophy commemorating the heroism of the Federation.

Feng Yi felt a bit dizzy, but the other soldiers knew exactly what had happened.

As the leaders of the space pirates, the gunpowder barrel, and the wolf head had long considered their future. They knew they would one day stand in a spaceport subjected to punishment or imprisonment under a certain national jurisdiction, stripped of their political rights and forced into hard labor; but they never expected today.

It can be said that until they reached the Federation, the two of them weren't sure their days of wandering the universe for survival were over, they no longer had to play cat and mouse with the empire. Instead, they now lived proudly, defending this homeland as regular soldiers, marking this epic moment with their own blood!

From then on, everyone had human rights and a shared military code: the Flame Legion---they'd become beloved protectors of the Federation, and all of this would become a reality in the near future. Damn, they hadn't lived in vain.

The impassioned soldiers on the deck greeted the cheers of the people...

Even Feng Yi was taken aback by the deafening cheers of the citizens. As each cheer hit his ears, he saw reporters and citizens in upheaval. You couldn't tell who was holding the camera equipment, whether it was the public or the reporters, whether it was ordinary people or the wealthy and beautiful.

It wasn't until he stepped off the elevator that Adams stepped forward and said, "Good job."

Feng Yi was stunned... What was happening? Wasn't the agreement that he'd be relieved of his duties after the mission was complete? The size of the welcoming party would suggest otherwise. Damn it, the old man pulled this again...but given the special circumstances, Feng Yi, unable to hold back, stepped forward with a stern face, saluted and reported, "Special Envoy Atland reporting for duty."

"Hahaha..." Adams broke out in laughter and then joyfully looked at Feng Yi, "Welcome home, our hero."

"Uh, well..."

"None of that. You've been through a lot on the front lines. Let's walk and talk." Ignoring any interruptions, Adams took Feng Yi's hands and ushered him into the magnetic levitation vehicle. They said it was for his safety; however, the elders and Vivian were accompanied by senior officers who were engrossed in conversation all the way to the Eden.

Inside the vehicle, Feng Yi briefly heard from Greedy Wolf about the federation's current situation. Under the military pressure of Bergheide, Alpha had fallen one after another. But, this seemed deliberate; after all, the long-distance supply was already a strain for the federation's economy, and continuing this way would only speed up the economic downturn.

The Silver Alliance seemed reluctant to get involved too soon, or didn't want the FCA to relax in this war. It appears that the fall of Alpha was a warning to the Silver Alliance, but the federation couldn't retreat any further - if they did, there would be no way to continue the war.

To meet the demands of modern warfare, 80% of domestic car and airbus private enterprises had turned to military manufacturing. Workers in factories were putting in overtime, wishing they could split themselves in two.

However, mass production couldn't buy time for the war; this signified that the army must expand its recruitment. The age of conscription had been relaxed from two years to three.

As the battle's intensity increased at Roland Planet, the Sky Eagle Fleet had been dispatched for reinforcement. Within two months, the fleet had lost tens of thousands of warships; with nearly a thousand soldiers on each destroyer, the death toll was uncountable...

In addition to the casualties sustained in other space battles, ground battles, and civilian casualties, it could be conservatively estimated that the federation had lost over a billion lives in just two months.

Frankly, the so-called population of 200 billion was only an aggregate of the number of people moving throughout the federation's many star regions - a number that did not exceed 120 billion. When excluding the elderly, sick, and women, the number of men capable of going to war was less than 20 billion. With this continued rate of development, he didn't want to think about what the federation would look like in three years.

When the available manpower can't meet the demands of the front lines, the rise and fall of a country are probably predetermined. It could evolve into an extreme forming place filled with women, the elderly, and children; it could disintegrate or be swallowed up by larger forces.

The rise and fall of a nation depend on its people. The federation hasn't seen war in a long time, so it needs war heroes, and it can't be without hero worship. In this era of old soldiers fading away, only by harnessing the enthusiasm for war and turning anger into strength, can the strength be armed to the teeth and the nation transform like a butterfly in a war.

Feng Yi, burdened with heavy pressure, walked alone out of the suburbs. He suddenly wanted some quiet; the cool breeze allowed one's mind to focus... Looking up at the sky, the fresh air, and blue sky were sights unique to the Earth...

As he walked down the oil plank road and passed by a large tent, he silently noticed a dozen people coming out again and again.

Until he distanced himself, a highly amplified shout suddenly entered his ears: "Hey!"

Feng Yi paused, turned back and gave a slight smile, and continued walking onwards...

The twelve-member live broadcast team in the newly developed area of Eden was in turmoil at the moment! God, they really just saw Feng Yi pass by them; they saw the hero of the federation in the flesh.

The female host said that when this legendary war hero passed by her, she didn't dare to stop him; she just silently watched him pass by. It wasn't until he'd gone far off that they shouted in the most direct way possible.

When fans asked why a usually cheerful and bold male host didn't converse with him, the male host laughed. He said he'd only watched Feng Yi from afar. Feng Yi's one smile gave him immense courage and left a profound impact. Just this one look filled him with energy. However, he'd never dare to approach such a person; his aura was too powerful. Unlike those in the first and second-tier celebrities, he could only watch from a distance. But his life had already been made exciting enough by just making Feng Yi to glance back and smile at his shout.
