"Perhaps, humanity has always been nothing more than lab rats in the eyes of aliens. They learn through the explosion of human technology and harness its beneficial aspects while destroying the rest. Assuming humans really evolved to the level of the Atlantis Civilization, such an intelligent species would not be allowed to destroy itself. Therefore, entities like the Revenge Shadow Rider are worth paying close attention to, studying, and learning from.

As for the outside world's comments on Feng Yi, he simply chuckled. If the Revenge Shadow Rider were really that powerful, there would be no need for the decryption technology. One shot would settle everything. But now, he is very concerned about his physical condition. His strength has reached its limit and can't be further improved. This implies that from this point on, he will lose all direction, and the hard work he persists in will gradually be surpassed by others with the passage of time. Perhaps his limit is just this level?

Despite that, Feng Yi still persists in his daily basic training. He still adheres to the principle of 'Rowing against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat', 'the early bird catches the worm'. He still carries on with his daily routine...

Now, the Allied Space Fleet has been stationed in Alpha for three days. Everyone is waiting for the distribution of the military supplies by the Federation. The scene is quite comical. Every day the fleets from different countries are vying for the training field... The Wind Thunder Land Army Training Base is the largest military base in Alpha, big enough to accommodate two fleets. Unfortunately, the Allied Space Fleet consists of six fleets. Today, the Flame Legion received the order from the Alliance to relinquish the training ground for the first time.

Actually, rather than saying it was an order from the Alliance, it would be more appropriate to say it was an order from a high-ranking officer in the Rekart issued to the Flame Legion. This training ground is taken turns by the FCA Alliance for training, but it seems a bit too much for a few tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops to occupy half of the ground. How huge is the base of the Space Fleet? What's the quality of the Federal soldiers? Using the training field as such is a waste of resources.

At first, Rekart's subordinate soldiers just complained verbally. Unfortunately, the Flame Legion remained silent, which only made Rekart's soldiers more arrogant. As time passed, the whistles of complaints continued... John, who had been holding his patience, finally couldn't stand it and went to find a Rekart officer.

The response almost made John spit blood. The colonel said there was nothing he could do about it and suggested that John should look for someone else. After all, he himself had higher-ups to answer to. Were the Federation soldiers all pussycats?

Damnit, it really was a nest of a conniving bureaucracy. If he could find someone, John would have done so already. As a school officer, he would have to go through layers of bureaucracy to find the Rekart Fleet Commander. This caused quite a delay, and soon, the surrounding noise attracted a lot of onlookers from other fleets.

John knew he couldn't start a fight. He and the Rekart commander turned and left not too long after, but this only inflamed the soldiers on both sides. Even some Rekart corporals from some unit squeezed into the Flame training ground. It wasn't even Rekart's training time, was this not obviously bullying?

At this time, Feng Yi was catching up with some old friends when a report suddenly came from outside, "General, a fight has broken out outside."

"What happened?"

"I'm not exactly sure... you should go out and check."

Soon after, Feng Yi, Zhang Xiaobo, and Elvis all stepped down from the battleship. This stopped the training on both sides, but it was not a full-blown fight. Everyone was just yelling at each other, as if the louder you speak, the stronger you are. Seeing these bunch of good-for-nothing guys, Feng Yi just laughed. The army has always prohibited fighting, and while soldiers returning from the frontlines might have been given some leeway, they never took it as far as this.

Before Feng Yi could step forward, a Rekart officer bearing the rank of Major General stepped into the training ground with a scrutinizing gaze. Seeing him, all the soldiers closed their mouths. It was none other than Major General Parkinson, the Deputy Commander of Rekart's Fleet.

"The army strictly forbids fighting, look at yourselves. Do you still consider yourselves soldiers?" Although Parkinson was criticizing, his gaze was fixed on the Federal soldiers.

On the side of the Flame Legion, everyone was so angry that their faces turned red. Damnit, this veteran was not fair, if he wanted to criticize or scold, he should've included everyone. Why didn't he say anything about those sons of bitches in his fleet? The girl called Pipi-shrimp was furious. She pointed to the Rekart formation and said, "They started it."

The entire Flame Legion nodded in agreement...

Looking back, the Major General asked, "Is this true?"

The crew of Rekart's fleet collectively shook their heads...

"You..." Pipi Shrimp cursed at Rekart for his shamelessness, but instead received a round of jeers and laughter from him. Had the Federation stooped so low as to rely on a woman's backing now?

"Enough!" General Parkinson roared, "Don't you know to report to your superiors? Is this how your superior officer taught you to behave?"

His words caused Pipi Shrimp to bow her head in silence. She had so much more she wanted to say. But Pipi Shrimp understood that she was not just representing herself, but also the collective of the Flame Legion.

"Who I teach is none of your business." A cold voice interrupted Parkinson. Feng Yi had appeared in front of the queue. "And when it comes to my soldiers, it's not for others to criticize."

Looking at this Major General whose military rank was one level lower than his own, Parkinson flushed with humiliation. This was a direct public affront. "You are..."

"I am the commander of the Flame Legion, Feng Yi. Strictly speaking, the Flame Legion has no obligation to vacate the training grounds."

"Well, that may be true, General Feng, but aren't your soldiers a bit too delicate? Can't they handle a bit of criticism? Are the front-line soldiers who fight to the death going to take issue with using a training ground now?"

Parkinson's words, although seemingly thoughtless, were quite potent. Feng Yi laughed instead. He was using his frontline record to belittle him. He retorted, "I don't recall Rekart's fleet having any impressive battle records. On the contrary, the Flame Legion took down Alpha after several weeks of hard fighting. At that time, our soldiers got less than four hours of sleep a day on average. Are they not even more deserving of this training ground than your troops?"

The group standing before him was the mysterious unit rumored to have taken down Alpha...? Everything he had said seemed flawless. The officers and soldiers of the other fleets silently nodded their approval.

Parkinson was somewhat cornered, but he refused to give in. Grinning coldly, he said, "Well said, General Feng. I, as the deputy commander of Rekart's fleet, hereby order you to vacate the training grounds. How will you respond?"

Feng Yi paused, realizing Parkinson was looking for a confrontation. Regardless, he simply shrugged, "I must decline."

"Are you going to disobey a military order?" Parkinson also paused. Despite the fact they were alliance partners, this was a joint military operation, so his orders were indeed valid.

"I am not disobeying, but it is within my rights to refuse your order." As he spoke, Feng Yi casually pulled out the Hero Medal, "As a special appointee of the Federation and bearer of the Hero Medal, I have the right to act independently. According to international Convention, I can refuse any orders from my superiors. Furthermore, the Flame Legion operates independently and does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Space Fleet. If you have any objections to my answer, General, you can appeal against me to the Alliance."

This was a direct rebuttal, Feng Yi's words left Parkinson unable to respond. He was dumbfounded for several seconds, "It's complete nonsense! I'll find Amelia—no, I demand an explanation from the Military Department."

The Rekart guards were very efficient and quickly passed the communication device to Parkinson. He demanded an explanation from the Federation in front of the FCA. After a few moments, he received a response from the Military Department, however, the truth was more bitter than he could have anticipated. There's a saying, don't get upset over temporary gains or losses, because there are worse things waiting for you in the future.

Not only did the Military Department fail to respond to Feng Yi's actions, but they also declared that the Federation had no right to interfere with the actions of a Hero and advised General Parkinson to coordinate directly with General Feng. If he had any questions, he could directly report them to the FCA Alliance Council to defend his rights.
