Who is he? A Special Envoy who had reached beyond the level of a top-tier agent, a federal hero who had earned his stripes time and again, now, just casually appeared beside us. If we were to go up to him and greet him, ask for his autograph, would it bother him? You know, even a second-tier celebrity has to wear a high collar and sunglasses while walking through streets and alleys, yet our hero doesn't care about all that, as if he's preoccupied with some thoughts.

In the end, everyone decided to muster up the courage and shouted his name from the other side of the shiny highway where Feng Yi was walking. For someone like him, perhaps this most straightforward greeting is more suitable for him.

At that moment, Feng Yi paused his steps for a fleeting second... The guests had said they would never forget that scene. Oh my god, did he actually look at them?

At this moment, Athena and the other four girls felt like the variety show guests they described. With such a person, apart from him and his comrades, relatives, and friends, who else has the qualification, the courage, to approach him, to step into his world? Simply watching from a distance was already more than satisfying for them.

"It seems today wasn't a waste after all,"

Wonderful Sound Girl said softly, with a healing and enchanting smile at the corner of her lips. As a mature lady with a charismatic presence, Wonderful Sound Girl's voice received unanimous approval from everyone.

Cherry Fox Cat, who was the youngest and full of lively intelligence, was actually discussing with the others how to meet Feng Yi...

This scene made Wonderful Sound Girl cover her mouth and chuckle. She knew more than she let on but chose not to say much.

In fact, Athena had also seen through it. Wanting to meet Brother Feng Yi wasn't that easy. Just now, it was just a matter of good fortune that they happened to bump into him. He was a general, but they were different, they could be considered public idols with a certain political significance.

Clearly, Athena was aware of her standing. Nevertheless, she had resolutely decided to come to Mardis. She would contribute her part to this war...

Who knows when the war will end, every time she thought about this, she would sigh softly! Today was different, her mood was still quite good, after all, she had seen the person she most wanted to see. As for her view on Feng Yi, it was different from the other girls; she considered Brother Feng Yi as family, and of course, it was also possible to be a lover. Regardless, she would watch over him quietly. Since she had come, naturally, she couldn't miss out on wandering around and visiting. Athena's eyes twinkled, and she would visit under the guise of work—ahem, no, it would be better to be frank, to visit under the guise of concern.

——On the planet Mardis, the imperial troops had already completely withdrawn from the outer regions, and the local soldiers left behind were almost entirely annihilated in the battle against the Blaze Legion that evening. This showed that Kexiao had originally intended to use this troop as cannon fodder. In the eyes of this commander, the lives of the soldiers seemed to be just a pile of meaningless numbers.

The Federation had apparently anticipated this, having sent Athena to this place early. Even before the war had ended, they had already considered Mardis their prize. In reality, due to the Bermuda Star Galaxy's Normandy Fleet fully engaging the enemy, the ground forces were already interlacing with the Space Fleet in a supportive manner. Persisting any longer would only result in disproportionate and significant attrition, utterly pointless. It was better to retreat to the fifth Super Earth to prepare for defense, to rest and wait, bide for the right moment.

Laypeople couldn't see through this, and probably, the one suffering the most at this moment was undoubtedly Kexiao. Not only had his troops been exhausted within a single day's time, but the second undead vessel had also gone missing, and Jiu Ling, hailed as the most potential peer of his generation, was cut down, his life and death unknown.

In the beginning, people did not believe the rumors, but after seeing the video, they could not help but believe. This was not a matter of soldiers or super soldiers – it was a problem with the commander himself. Why was it that Vivian had safely handled the Northern War Zone, but as soon as Kexiao took over, he kept suffering these defeats?

Now look at the mess, the name Revenge Shadow Rider has become known to everyone thanks to Saudi stirring things up. Originally, nobody knew, and the influence of Revenge Shadow Rider was only a subject of rumour and jest. What's Revenge Shadow Rider? Nothing but a fart, an existence that would be instantly annihilated by Jiu Ling. But in reality, not only did Jiu Ling and Wraith 2 not gain any advantage, they were beaten to the point of losing their armor and even having their weapons broken.

Federal spies spreading rumors has caused quite a panic in Saudi…

Kexiao just shook his head and chuckled in response, not bothering to explain himself, which only increased the public's skepticism about his abilities. Was he deliberately avoiding the question? When the walls fall, everybody pushes, and now, the media has been relentlessly broadcasting the fall of Mardis day and night.

Xiuluo and Xia Mu caused a ruckus every day at the Military Department, almost coming to blows. In fact, Xia Mu was originally a warm-hearted guy, but through the video, he found that after he'd left, Wraith 2 had actually used the one-strike Holy Sword Cross Slash, a secret technique of the Xiuluo. This further confirmed his suspicion about Wraith 2's identity—Wraith 2 really was Xiuluo.

Xiuluo was still alive, his comrade-in-arms from their days in the military, his only connection. But why would Kexiao hide this from him? What an ass! Now, Xia Mu only wanted to know one thing: why, why, why! Say it three times because it's important.

Black Edge had a chilling gaze like that of a blade, seemingly ready to kill. Of course, his questions were somewhat similar to Xia Mu's. To be honest, at first, Black Edge really did think that this guy, who he couldn't figure out, had some abilities, but just the fact of Jiu Ling's defeat completely overturned his initial judgment. Why would the Military Department appoint such a man as their superior officer?

Both had sought out Kexiao, one time even visiting together, infuriatingly finding that Kexiao didn't even dare to face them and had instead repeatedly ordered soldiers to escort them away.

Just in the midst of this chaos, who would have known that Kexiao would suddenly one day make a public announcement to the media and claim that he would return a fully intact Jiu Ling to everyone, including Wraith 2.

In fact, aside from Xia Mu, there were very few who paid attention to Wraith 2. The media was making a big fuss, finding it more profitable to focus on Revenge Shadow Rider than him. But now Kexiao was releasing explosive news to the public, promising a Jiu Ling and Wraith 2—could there be some other hidden meaning in this?

What the hidden meaning was, no one knew, but because of this, the chaos at the Military Department had yet to die down, even alarming the highest congress. With a message from Heavenly Communication, the congress decided to reassess Kexiao's capabilities, and regarding this matter, even Shakespeare, as the emperor, maintained his silence.

"Heh, is the Military Department thinking of dismissing me…" Upon receiving the news, Kexiao felt relieved and in fact more at ease.

"General, why won't you tell them the truth?" the Special Envoy said, clearly frustrated.

Kexiao shook his head with a bitter smile and said no more. After all, suspicious people cannot be trusted, and there's no point in trusting those you can't trust. Whether to speak up or not isn't really that different; if they trust him, there's no need to question, if they don't, what's the use in asking? If they wanted to shut the media up, it would just take a word from the top brass, but there was none.

The Special Envoy stomped her foot and stormed out of the room, only to see Black Edge and Xia Mu coming up fiercely. They had been here countless times only to be stopped at the door by the Special Envoy, "Kexiao is about to face a reassessment by the congress, are you satisfied now?"

"What do you mean? We just want a response from Kexiao," Xia Mu said coldly.

"A response?" she scoffed. "What obligation does the commander have to disclose his strategic intentions to the two of you? Well, since you must know, I'll make it clear to you: Jiu Ling, Wraith 2, and even the matters relating to Wraith 3..."
