Charlotte and her sister didn't think so far ahead, with Little Wu exclaiming, "You scared sister to death, you scared the baby," thankfully, on the way back, they encountered no other dangers.

Time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed. Although the time was short, just three days, it was still time.

The charity performance concluded successfully three days later, and the local relief work in Mardis continued methodically. The Federation's generous acts immediately garnered high international acclaim.

In the event of liberating Mardis, the greatest merit undoubtedly belongs to Feng Yi and the Blazing Legion. Within this battle, our forces fully demonstrated their solid professionalism and the sacrificial spirit of untiringly persistent resistance. For this, the Blazing Legion was awarded a collective first-class merit, and several soldiers were posthumously recognized with titles of martyrdom. The highest honors were distributed the day after the curtain fell on the charity performance.

Unfortunately, there was also some distressing news from this battle, with Hugo's situation being the most concerning and regrettable. Because he remained in a comatose state with poor bodily functions and slow metabolism, the Military Department ultimately decided not to perform the lower limb cloning and implantation technology to preserve Hugo's life, meaning that Hugo missed the optimal time for his lower limb restoration. Of course, the responsibility can't be solely blamed on the Military Department, as they too wished to save this brave warrior. It must be stated, it's a tragedy and a choice that the Military Department was compelled to make.

Afterward, the Military Department grasped the specific causes and consequences. Saudi's night raid on the Blazing Legion was actually a ruse by Feng Yi, drawing the enemy in. While others bait their hooks with real bait, this young man substituted a dud grenade, seemingly useful but ultimately ineffective. Kexiao fell for the trap, but due to overwhelming odds and other insurmountable factors, the least costly outcome for the battle was likely mutual harm. Fortuitously, the arrival of the super soldiers on time was crucial, of course excluding the condition of the Revenge Shadow Rider.

Subsequent analyses of Feng Yi's plan by the Federation's numerous strategists—repeated simulations, counter-simulations, and continuous reassessment—yielded surprisingly impressive findings!

One should know that a war is like a game of chess, where, at critical moments, the outcome often hinges on a single piece—this is hypothetical. If Kexiao were just an ordinary commander, he certainly wouldn't have grasped the significance, and even a clever person would have found it nearly impossible to spot. To notice the flaw and dare to implement the plan is something very few commanders would do. It requires not only a brilliant mind but also an extraordinary resolve to execute decisively. As a high-level commander, Kexiao's decisions could determine the fates of countless soldiers, necessitating unshakable courage and confidence. Kexiao is undoubtedly such a commander, decisive and bold in action, performing better than anyone else.

He was unexpectedly thwarted by Feng Yi, a talent who must also be acknowledged. Perhaps Kexiao simply made the wrong choice at the wrong time, but there was no coincidence here. Ordinary people couldn't detect Feng Yi's strategy, and if such coincidences happen repeatedly to one person, that person would be too terrifying. This can only mean that Feng Yi anticipated Kexiao's psychology.

What's even more unbelievable, yet you have to admit, is that these ingenious strategies were merely Feng Yi taking advantage of circumstances, acting spontaneously without any premeditated planning, let alone seeking advice from some military genius.

One must understand that the charity performance was a federal political element, while Sadra's surprise attack was a reactive assassination. Yet Feng Yi turned the tables, using all available resources to switch from defense to offense and waiting at ease. From planning to execution, everything felt so seamless, as if he were the passive one, compelled to make such choices.

General Feng Yi is not even 30 years old and has not been exposed to the tactical indoctrination of a renowned military academy. How can he be so daring in his actions? If any step in this entire process had gone awry, everything could have...

When Major General Osmund raised his doubts, first came Greedy Wolf, then the surrounding generals, and finally even he himself laughed... How could he be so muddled? Even if Kexiao didn't take the initiative to attack, the fact was that the Blazing Legion wouldn't suffer any losses. However, if they attacked directly, they would have fallen right into Feng Yi's calculations. This was not merely a simple ambush; it also reflected certain characteristics of the enemy commander's orders from a lateral perspective. This tactic of killing two birds with one stone was undeniably brilliant. Although it didn't result in a fight of trapped beasts, that was the result of the vast difference in numbers.

It was like a group of lurkers facing the concept of a carpet-style flat patrol. No matter how well-prepared you were, you couldn't escape being crushed by sheer numbers and the invincible formation faced head-on. Any exposure of a single person would lead to the exposure of the entire army. This also highlighted Kexiao's astuteness. Precisely because Kexiao couldn't be sure of the enemy's identity, he employed this seemingly foolish but in fact foolproof tactic of feigned stupidity, also known as parallel advancement. Even if the enemy had any ambushes, they would be localized, while his advancement covered the entire area south of the desert.

This matter caused quite a stir within the Military Department. During an informal tea meeting, General Greedy Wolf emphasized his intention to pass on all he had learned to Feng Yi, as he was getting old.

Some agreed with this statement, while others voiced their opposition. There were also those who thought Greedy Wolf was just making a small joke with everyone.

Afterward, Greedy Wolf pondered over this matter for a long time... He confided in quite a few people but ultimately gave up on the idea.

Whether Feng Yi would be willing to accept it was one thing, but applying one's own fixed way of thinking onto Feng Yi might produce a talented general, or even one who could become a second Greedy Wolf or surpass him. However, that would only ever be imitation. Such a move would restrict Feng Yi's growth. Following his own path might help Feng Yi avoid some major setbacks and difficulties, but it would forever limit his development.

Let him fly on his own then—right, there's also Apophis, a rare talent who graduated from Golden Sword Academy in recent years. It was said that after graduating, he went back home to sell sweet potatoes. One wonders what dogshit means Feng Yi used to dig him out.

It can be said that the Military Department's interest in Apophis has never ceased. Throughout history, the four major military academies have produced countless talents, with the Royal Military Academy of Yingland led by Amelia, Ophelia, and the Haier Brothers being foremost. But among these individuals, the only one who could match Amelia was Apophis, then came Zi Mou from Wind Thunder Military Academy. As a descendant of the Texas family, Zi Mou's capabilities were beyond doubt. Instead, Cangmu Kuang Qi, who revered the martial spirit, was not looked upon favorably. Even her inborn super soldier, who disappeared after being stolen, is a sad tale to tell. It also suggests that the Federation is unwilling to waste more resources on Cangmu Kuang Qi.

But Apophis was different; he was the versatile genius who graduated from the Golden Sword Academy in the Solar System. His Mecha talent was particularly remarkable, yet for some reason, after graduation, he rejected all olive branches from the Military Department, eventually ending up in Feng Yi's then unheard-of Blazing Legion.

Many generals suggested that Apophis be reassigned to replace Hugo's position, but Greedy Wolf did not heed the advice. Firstly, in name, he had no right to interfere with Feng Yi, and in fact, he knew that there were few within Feng Yi's troop who could fight. Having recruited Apophis with great difficulty, asking for him to be taken away was absurd—have you grown a heart? Perhaps, in the Blazing Legion, Apophis would unleash his fury instead of becoming just another super soldier.

The charity performance had ended yesterday. The brothers were all tired. Feng Yi ordered the Blazing soldiers to rest for a while before hitting the road. People seemed to still linger in the joyful aftertaste of the performance, recalling the final singing and dancing, and the friendly interactions with Athena and even the band. The thoughts seemed almost from another lifetime.
