John was quite troubled by this matter. On the surface, it seemed that the Crimson Flame Legion was indeed about to embark from the Dragon Gate Station No.5 and directly warp to the Bermuda Star River for flank support. However, midway, they would quietly change their direction...

The Military Department was overly cautious, opting not to notify them via Heavenly Communication but to directly dispatch a military base. It seemed that the task to be performed by the super soldier was out of the ordinary. Upon hearing the Haier Brothers' explanation, John couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows and say, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you all. The Crimson Flame Legion's route of action isn't the Bermuda Star River."

The group was taken aback for a moment, and Mu Tou said, "What do you mean, bro?"

"Heh, military secrets are not for me to tell. But what I can make clear is that the Crimson Flame Legion has other plans."

Ophelia couldn't help but turn her cold and pretty face to them and asked, "This isn't Feng Yi's order, is it?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not sure about your plans, but an independent unit's strength is too weak. It will be difficult for them to create a significant impact in a large scale battle. If the enemy sets an ambush, I fear for your situation. As a Special Envoy, he has the right to act independently, but I still think it's too chaotic. He hasn't even been to a military academy."

Upon hearing her words, John was instantly filled with rage. Military academy, my ass! In Mardis, who was it that led the resistance fighters break out of the encirclement time and time again, giving them new hope? In the Sky City, who was it that fought single-handedly against the Devil's Legion to protect the civilians? What was the Federation doing at that time? Although the other party might not know that the legion commander is the Revenge Shadow Rider, it doesn't matter. He won't allow anyone to question the legion commander, especially a nagging bitch.

John's smile gradually turned cold, suppressing his anger, he said, "If that's all you have to say, you can leave now."

The Haier Brothers exchanged glances but kept their mouths shut. Both of them could feel the shift in each other's attitudes.

Ophelia, who had received a higher education, couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows... She meant well, but not only did the other side not appreciate it, they even wanted to pick a fight with her. As a powerful fighter of Yingland origin, she was always strong-willed. How could she possibly be afraid of this? She immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean, is there a problem with me speaking?"

"Exactly."

"So what if I said it? What can you do about it?"

Bang! John quickly grabbed the corner of Ophelia's clothes, "Take back what you just said and get lost, I don't care who you are."

Damn, even Ophelia hadn't expected the other party to be so barbaric. She was a girl for god's sake, was this bandit legion really a bunch of bandits? Ophelia wasn't afraid though. When it came to physical combat, she, as a super soldier, naturally wouldn't cower to John. She immediately tried to slap John away with a flick of her hand.

But John was faster and managed to dodge Ophelia's slap and grabbed her arm. This was just a small warning.

Ophelia was somewhat flabbergasted. His speed did not lose to hers, and she was one of the few fighting experts in Yingland. However, she wasn't aware that John was also a battle-hardened veteran, his rich combat experience was far more than she could match. He was no stranger to hand-to-hand combat; it was a mandatory course for every Flame Soldier, not to mention for him as the deputy commander of the legion.

But, who said that girls don't fight? Ophelia definitely belonged to the counter puncher type, she wouldn't compromise so easily. Just as she was preparing to approach John and settle the score, she was abruptly intercepted by Sky Shadow who had been quietly observing from the sidelines.

"You should be fighting the enemy, not your own people, especially at such a crucial time. Injuries will only indirectly lower the completion rate of our mission." Sky Shadow, who usually scoffed at interacting with them, surprisingly uttered these words. Ophelia was taken aback and slowly withdrew her offensive stance.

Sky Shadow instantly turned to John and said: "I'm not certain what that guy is planning, but if it's his strategy, I suspect he must have a proper course of action in place — Mu Tou, let's go." His words reflected what he was thinking. As a mobile soldier, he detested the strength of the Revenge Shadow Rider, but had to admit that Feng Yi was not as simple as he seemed on the surface. From Big Macs to Liden Star Domain, from Roland Battlefield to Mardis, even an legion of devils had all succumbed under his hand.

Of course, Sky Shadow's primary concern was not Ophelia, but the success rate of the mission. Her reckless actions could potentially place the special operations team in jeopardy.

Sky Shadow's words reduced much of John's anger. At least, the so-called 'Eyes of the 12 Stars' was not blind.

The Crimson Flame Fleet set sail two hours later. Both onboard and ground troops prepared intensely for the upcoming battle. To some extent, it is the first full-scale battle for them as formal soldiers of the Federal Army. In just a few days, the brothers would have the chance to give the enemy a good beating.

Perhaps due to excitement, or agitation, or fear, at that moment Powder Keg was drinking merrily in his room with Head Wolf...

To be honest, both of them were originally space pirates bound by destiny. They had no beef with Saudi's Bergheide, but things were different now. As formal soldiers of the honorable Federal Army, they were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice. However, it is only right to enjoy themselves and have a few drinks prior to that. In a few days, once they reach Dragon Gate Space Station, John will give strict orders to ban alcohol, even applying to the two officers themselves.

"Brother, do you think we will succeed this time?"

"Just let it hang and swing. Damn it, who cares, we just need to pull it off."

"Heh heh, this time we are truly risking our lives. But to tell the truth, I like it. Have you heard of the saying, 'venture for wealth'? That's the perfect description of the Crimson Flame Fleet."

"What are you two whispering about here, not going to include me?" John kicked the door wide open, "If we succeed in this battle, my brothers, even if the Legion Commander does not speak up, I will propose for you two to be promoted up two ranks."

The two men raised their drinks to John without saying a word: "Deputy Legion Commander, you are honorable. As the Pioneer Officer, Head Wolf will definitely do it."

There were laughs and cheers on the warship. They felt more like a bunch of bandits than a regular army, exuding an intimidating aura. However, nobody could see nor did they know that this kind of troop exhibited exemplary standards during their secluded training, almost comparable to the Dragon Soul Knights.

Nobody would think that they were once veteran rebels who feared nothing, had solid combat experience, were space pirates who roamed around the galaxy, were unimpeded, understood interstellar navigation like the back of their hand, and knew how to turn danger into safety even in hazardous areas based on experience.

Surely, this team is not the best. There are many weak points, but they do exceptionally well at covering for each other's shortcomings. No one knows their code name. People only call them the Bandit Legion. Perhaps in the near future, on that vast interstellar battlefield, they will show their true colors.

The friction between the FCA Alliance Fleet and the Federal Hell's Gate pulled the supposed teammates towards the edge. As a result, the Zana Republic will replace Hell's Gate and fight alongside the Federal Army in Bermuda, Hell's Gate would cooperate with Weibang to hold back the Pross border, and the group fighting alongside Silver Alliance's Rekart would be the Mortgage Alliance.

The Bermuda Galaxy, with Saudi to the north and Pross to the south, and the Bergheide border extending westward, this vast galaxy is like a vortex, pulling all forces into it. Thus, it acts as both a large barrier preventing various major forces from interfering with each other, and a natural battlefield after the war horn blows.

In Bermuda, there are no fancy tactics. No terrain that you can take advantage of, only tactical application, layout deducing, military deployment and everything else you can see, probably not all that you can achieve. Because, in this war, the commander plays a critical role, it is still the ultimate stage to test a commander's abilities. No matter how talented you are, everything will be verified here.
