"Self-destruct?" Feng Yi paused slightly, "Choosing to self-destruct certainly has its reasons. You remember the situation then, without a high beam scanning device, the odds were extremely against me. Wasn't self-destruction the right choice?" He questioned Ophelia, then shook his head, "I was forced into it, the real battlefield doesn't give you time to deliberate, I think you lack some battle experience."

You self-destroyed but you gave me no time to escape, let alone shutting down my escape pod, Ophelia's tone shifted, "Never mind that, if it were the battlefield, you would still choose self-destruction."

"Of course, for military honor, and for victory."

Upon hearing this, she blinked her cute eyelashes, looking at Feng Yi repeatedly. She wondered if he was just being silly, although his words seemed right, it put off a vibe of a naive soldier going to war with grand ambitions. Why is he so eager to die? Even if the Revenge Shadow Rider can fight, why not just run if you can't beat it? It's not like him to be so desperate for life.

She had never realized that Feng Yi could be so speechless before, but after interacting with him today, she found him to be quite naive while also impressive for surviving till now. He might be a pawn controlled by someone with a political agenda. Perhaps, all the rumors about the Right Faction bowing down were fabricated by the Left Faction backing them, and maybe the Left Faction was the real puppeteer behind Feng Yi.

As a descendant of the academy, Ophelia obeys the command of the Military Department directly. She may not have a deep understanding of politics but she knows the struggles and conflicts between the left and right factions.

"Feng Yi, there's something I don't like to talk about, but maybe the title of a hero is a burden to you. I think, getting rid of it wouldn't hurt." Ophelia's gaze towards Feng Yi suddenly softened, she knew what to say and what not to say, there's only so much she could hint at.

Feng Yi was completely speechless, thinking that he was just pretending not to understand the worldly affairs, how did that make him into something… whatever it was, but it's all good. So Ophelia's suspicion of Feng Yi was completely gone, but from then on, he gained a cute nickname 'Xiao Bai' in Ophelia's heart.

The most significant gain today was undoubtedly the battle with Feng Yi. With her intelligence, once exposed to irregular tactics, she could breakthrough the textbook knowledge and seemed to comprehend some new things. Learning was earning. What she first thought about after the battle was over was that when she was suppressed, she could completely use irregular tactics to restrain the opponent. For a moment, it was as if she had come to a brand new world, her mood could not be brighter.

"Feng Yi, let's have another round."

Feng Yi showed impatience, waving his hand and said: "I'm tired of this, you should practice more and get better. Just don't die too early on the battlefield." There was a hint of triumph in his words.

Why are his words so rude? Humph! Forget about it, there's no need to take a little white-haired boy to heart. Compared to this, the previous battle was more intriguing —— she must go back and study it right away. Missing the inspiration at this moment can be a pity. And so, without saying goodbye, Ophelia jumped a few times and went directly to the military training base.

Feng Yi secretly wiped his sweat, it was not easy to keep this act up, especially since Ophelia had engaged in combat with him before and it was easy to make a mistake. It's really not a fortune when misfortunes come and blessings do not come in pairs. Just as Ophelia left, Vivian came again right away, asking him what it meant to leave without a farewell during the day.

What could it mean, it's not like we were on a date, and I had no intention of wooing you. Feng Yi initially wanted to come up with an excuse, but surprisingly, Vivian got angry and told him. "Looking for you for a stroll during the day is just one of the things, secondly, I was also entrusted by General Greedy Wolf to teach you necessary command knowledge within a limited time. Feng Yi, you should know that you are now a Federal Brigadier."

"Brigadier..." Pondering this word, Feng Yi's eyes suddenly became a little lost. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, but he never had thoughts of becoming a general —— but then again, the Flame Corps, with its 30,000 strong formation, could count as a complete division. A Brigadier rank is well deserved, considering all the merits of Feng Yi, it's not unreasonable for the Federation to confer him this rank.

But when he heard about being taught necessary command knowledge, he hesitated a little. He is a soldier, not a commander who strategizes behind the scenes. He'd rather fight on the front lines than be a leader who uses soldiers' lives as chips in a game, unless it's absolutely necessary, just like on the remote planet Mardis. But now it's different, he's back, and he'd rather let John take over the Flame Corps.

Feng Yi hesitated just a little, and then promptly refused, indicating that he was not interested and that it was better for her to leave. Don't look down on a lowly educated person. Although he wouldn't call himself well-read in military books, he does often read them and his knowledge in broad fields is no less than anyone else's.

At his words, Vivian was somewhat annoyed. As a young commanding officer, it was a good gesture to come and teach him yet he returned cold words. She wanted to ask Feng Yi if he knew about the 'Twilight Battle of the Stars', or 'Triple March Quartet Advance'. Wait, 'Triple March Quartet Advance'? As she thought about this, Vivian's pretty face turned from red to white and then stomped her foot forcefully, with high heels on, she stomped off without looking back, leaving the Flame Military Base behind.

Is it because his charm is not big enough, or is there something wrong with that kid's body... At the Federal High Command, when Vivian half-jokingly expressed this thought, the heavy atmosphere shatter and the room was immediately filled with laughter and discussions.

Osmund said: "Feng Yi acts independently, doesn't play by the rules. Letting him rush to the frontline may indeed bring great benefits but also even greater risks."

"General Osmund is right, this kid is like a stubborn donkey that won't move forward if you pull it and backs up when you hit it." The one speaking was General Greedy Wolf, "But I have some confidence in Feng Yi, he is just like this. What else can you do with him?"

Greedy Wolf shrugged innocently, then took a sip of his tea. When Feng Yi was mentioned, the other generals glanced at each other, smiling without saying anything....

In fact, using a donkey to describe this federal hero, who is highly regarded by the public, really isn't an exaggeration. Just look at Takla. He was willing to risk his life to rescue a few rebels, but when pushed to a larger stage, he backed down. His ambition truly was pathetically small.

But everyone can sort of understand Feng Yi's thoughts. A soldier from the ground level wouldn't want to become a commander in the back end so easily. As for Feng Yi, he prefers the battlefield. Being a commander comes with responsibilities and pressures because he doesn't want to risk his comrades' lives due to a wrong command.

For such a person, what reason does everyone have to blame him?

President Adams secretly gave Greedy Wolf a glance, who understood, cleared his throat, and laughed: "Colonel Vivian, you did lose our previous bet."
