One day after the Flaming Fleet set sail, the soldiers were fully prepared, a mixture of timidness and excitement filled their hearts. It was a typical response courage before stepping onto the battlefield. The real test had arrived, and to forge themselves into this collective, they had long forgotten their past identities; the only voice in their hearts was of the Flaming Legion.

However, as the war intensified, the number of young soldiers sent to the battlefield was dwindling. To respond to the national call, the Bounty Tribe led by the natives in the autonomous station, along with the Dante Castle Club and the Nan Family Adventure Guild, saw their members joining the anti-war frontlines.

Unlike soldiers, these volunteers committed to a minimum of one year of service, with no maximum limit. They were granted honor points by major guild offices based on individual merits. Once on the battlefield, they were guaranteed a minimum of 200 honor points. Many signed up aiming to earn these points. Even so, for safety reasons, each guild tried to select advanced combatants willing to step onto the battlefield.

Today was the last convoy to support Sky City in the near future. At this moment, the capital airport was not desolate, but buzzing with activity. Everyone was engrossed in preparing for the imminent battle or expressing their farewells and good wishes or carrying supplies.

Perhaps, the saying "the brave never return once they set off" precisely encapsulated these emotions. One was never sure if a reunion would follow this separation, hence, every moment was treasured.

The night breeze was cool, comforting, almost signaling that it was time for the many warriors to embark on their journey. Even the reporters from many radio stations had quietly appeared in the spaceport, recording this poignant moment.

"Hello, warrior, I'm Yao Guang from the CT channel. Could you share your feelings on the eve of departure?"

The soldier silently turned, leaving behind a lone yet imposing silhouette. Truthfully, he was nervous and feared death, but he was also a gallant soldier of the Federation and preferred to suppress his emotions.

In addition to supporting the Flaming Legion, the British branch fleet, the third division of the Sky Eagle Fleet, two group armies from the Eden military region, and over ten major Bounty Tribes led by White Pig followed on the journey to Sky City.

Of course, there was also our diva - Athena. Yes, that's right, the Freedom Dancer would fight alongside the warriors. Not in actual combat, but through her voice. Athena would leave her beautiful singing for the brave warriors.

The night before departure, President Adams personally bid farewell. The vigorous old man who had been president for 20 years was witty, humorous, full of wisdom... His eyes were slightly red, "Young folks, you are the pride of the Yate Federation, the loyal guardians of the people, the bravest soldiers of our homeland. May the Goddess of Luck be with you, and with the Federation." His voice was profound as he regarded these soldiers like his children. As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

The reply to Adams was thunderous: "Long live the Federation!"

Being at this level, Feng Yi was acutely aware that Adams slept less than 4 hours daily. The Federation President, who wore the Hero Medal, wasn't any less weary than the soldiers on the frontlines.

A moment later, the fleets were ready, marking the beginning of a difficult journey. The Meteor readied for ascension, gradually increasing the energy output from 1%, 2% ... as the orders rang out over loudspeakers, the Zeus Shield began to take off.

Athena looked into the mirror at her delicate face, closing her eyes contentedly. At no point in her space travel had she felt as secure as she did now. Only she knew that there was a superhero guiding this fleet, Feng Yi, who wasn't just a special envoy of the Federation, but also the unknown Revenge Shadow Rider.

With a certain adoration, she would forever keep this secret. The man who had saved her twice.

At the same time, Bergheide received news about the Federation's super fleet's support for Sky City, which would arrive in less than half a month. Branny knew it was time to reveal her trump card - the Black Devil Army, a horrifying force on par with Bruce's Space Pirates. More elusive than space pirates, under the leadership of Kanmaier, this criminal organization commit horrifying acts with sophistication, equipped with the world's most advanced gear.

No one knew what Kanmaier looked like. Just the mere sight of him sent a chill down people's spines. However, his name was well-known. The strength of his army was comparable to small-medium sized powers. Its brutality could only be described as inhumane. The Silver Alliance's Rekart issued a wanted notice against the Black Devil Army but to no avail. Even after decades, the Black Devil Army remained unchallenged.

If Bruce's Space Pirates were mere bandits on interstellar flights, this armed force could only be described as downright evil. Unlike Space Pirates, the Black Devil Army chose ground battles exclusively. Their battleships were equipped with high-energy pulse devices that could create space wormholes to escape in a short time.

In 2698, the renowned Federal physicist Gannings vanished on his way to Libilibi for academic exchange and remained missing for decades.

In 2710, the Silver Alliance's master mechanic was kidnapped by the Black Devil Army, and many similar incidents followed. The Black Demon Army would perform various coercions by inconceivable means, also serving at a high cost to the national level.

In the winter of 2682, the world's largest finance group had disappeared overnight.

In 2707, the Black Devil Army attacked the Toronto Family overnight. The Toronto family, affiliated with Gadis, was the superfamily that held the economic lifeline in the country. Who would have thought that this centuries-old superb family would disappear overnight, with no trace of any family members who were away.

In some respects, they were even more audacious than Bruce and acted with absolute impunity. The fall of Alpha was intertwined with the Black Devil Army. After landing in the Shadow District, they started to wantonly kill and loot. The terrified local residents fell into a nightmare overnight. Due to limited supply and demand, there would be a shortage of various supplies in a short time, such as water, electricity, food, machinery, daily necessities, and you name it.

As an industrial planet, would the Federation be stupid enough to hand over Alpha so easily? Absolutely not. The Federation had been caught off guard and had to disseminate news externally. Although the rumors were thoroughly suppressed, those who knew the truth would never forget that nightmarish night.

And now, Sky City had become the next target of the Black Devil Army.
