Not long after, news of the silver super warrior reached the secret military base of Bergheide. On his return journey, Sword Dragon had just learned from the Star Domain Broadcast what had really happened in Sky City. He stumbled out of his mecha's cockpit, disregarded his injuries, and barged into Branny's room.

"Branny, did you cause all the chaos in Sky City?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Colluding with the Devil Corps, slaughtering people in the outskirts of the city, and using Super Storm as a bargaining chip. If I hadn't received a local Star Domain Broadcast, I would still be in the dark."

"Everything was done for strategic needs."

"So, handing over the Storm Wings is also part of your strategy?"

"Exactly. Do you think the federation will let the Devil Corps go unpunished? I am just using them to play the trump card of Super Storm. Once the Devil Corps is cornered, their obvious choice will be to return to their old master. And that's when their end will come."

"She really knows how to manipulate others," he thought. "I bet, you were responsible for the fall of Alpha as well."

Glancing at Sword Dragon, Branny did not refute, but changed the topic: "Your battle with Revenge Shadow Rider will be arranged soon."

Perhaps a little demotivated, the thought of Revenge Shadow Rider made Sword Dragon calm down a bit... He realized that as the head of the Dragon Soul Knights, his understanding of politics was far too little. He left a harsh sentence as he stormed out... "I am a soldier, not a butcher. Don't involve me in such matters again."

As if she knew it all along, Branny showed no change in expression. This super warrior was originally prepared for Sword Dragon to fight Revenge Shadow Rider, but she didn't expect Revenge Shadow Rider to...

Stupid, she overestimated Kanmaier's intelligence. If she continued to delay, not only would the federal support troops arrive soon, but the Super Storm system could also possibly be seized. Thinking of this, Branny sent an encrypted Heavenly Communication message to the Devil warship.

Actually, without Branny's reminder, the Black Devil Corps was already showing signs of retreat...

Presently, despite more than a thousand Mech Warriors troops of the Devil Corps remaining in the outskirts, they couldn't sight anyone. The real threat to Revenge Shadow Rider was barely 200, whereas, Revenge Shadow Rider destroyed everything in his path. Just shooting blindly into the crowd could kill a few. Combined with the inherent attributes of biological mecha, as long as Revenge Shadow Rider had stamina, he is invincible.

With time, the advantages of the leaderless Black Devil Corps no longer existed. In the end, these desperadoes were confident only because they had the numbers and adopted an aggressive posture. Once they sense danger and see no hope of victory, they will be utterly demoralized. Moreover, isn't this Revenge Shadow Rider more terrifying than the ones in the rumors? Three minutes later, one person triggered the mass panic, and the disarrayed troops dispersed...

Seeing this scene, the audience in front of the light screen erupted into cheers... In the square, along the old road, some people hugged each other tightly, while more people were moved to tears. Revenge Shadow Rider, single-handedly, destroyed so many mobile warriors. Apart from God, what else could describe this?

At the same time, several Federation satellites had already locked onto the landing area of the black warship in the southern hemisphere, and an emergency military meeting was being held in the Command Headquarters to intercept the Devil Corps, including the long-distance dialogue of five major fleets. General Mark suggested, "The warship is already airborne. I suggest launching a ground-to-air attack on the Devil Corps as soon as they are outside our territory, giving them no time to react."

"I disagree with General Mark." Amelia retorted: "Firstly, we are unsure what weaponry the Storm Wings has. It could be conventional missiles, or... Secondly, since the Devil Corps dares to blatantly land in Sky City, they must be prepared. Hasty action may cause irreparable casualties."

"So we just sit and watch them escape? Amelia, you are merely a fleet commander who just graduated from the military academy. Don't think you can master everything. Ignoring the Devil Corps will cause even greater domestic backlash!" Mark was clearly upset by Amelia's refutation.

"General Mark, you are getting old."

A single sentence from Amelia almost made Mark spit out blood. She was utterly unbothered, calmly saying, "Apart from this, the Federation has no other choice. It can be confirmed that only two forces can create Storm Wings, the Silver Alliance and Bergheide. Considering that the Silver Alliance shares interests with the Federation and thus wouldn't risk such a move, only Bergheide is left. If solid evidence can be found against Bergheide, it can be used to retaliate, and it may become a winning card for the Federation."

"Sounds easy, but how will you find it?"

"That's not difficult. I have left two stealth fleets in Sky City before departing for this mission—they are on standby. There are two pilots in Normandy, each has powers comparable to Red Cloak, the reason they didn't appear in the Alpha battlefield was this. I guess Branny wouldn't simply rely on numbers to defend the space fortress. Surprising the enemy is her usual strategy, so I left behind two small fleets for an ambush. Now, the two stealth fleets can easily follow them, intercept the encrypted communications between Bergheide and the Black Devil Corps, analyze, crack, and easily seize Bergheide's lifeline."

What a counterattack plan, Angela asked, "General Amelia, why didn't you directly command the two stealth fleets to provide support?"

"There are sacrifices in war, especially necessary sacrifices. Judging the victory of a war will never be a local advantage. Actually, I am also testing whether the Devil Corps can detect the stealth fleet.

Upon hearing this, the generals took a deep breath. For victory, for a uncertain test, Amelia actually disregarded civilian casualties to such an extent. In a way, her rationality was as cold as Branny's, and equally terrifying.

"What is your next plan?" asked Augustins."

"To retreat. Stop the Black Devil corps at all costs and create the illusion of us chasing Branny. Place self-destruct weapons in the space fortress."

"What?! Not only do you want to give away the space fortress that we had worked so hard to win, but you also want to destroy it; this is our Federation's wealth."

Amelia shook her head slightly, calmly saying, "This fortress does not belong to the Federation. Branny has foreseen our choices. The joint pursuit of the five fleets on the Devil Corps is a response that the Federation must make. It's better to just destroy the fortress."

As Amelia had expected, 20 minutes after the Devil Corps' ships ascended, they did not detect the Federation's stealth fleets trailing them. The five fleets also intercepted the Devil Corps simultaneously from five different directions outside Alpha territory. Whether or not they can blockade the Devil Corps is not the key, but the Federation must respond.
