Not long after the military conference had ended, Greedy Wolf paced back and forth in the command center with his hands behind his back... He would periodically ask if Feng Yi had looked for him, whether he had made any calls on Heavenly Communication, or contacted anyone. The chief-secretary found herself at a loss for words, having followed the old general for many years without ever seeing Greedy Wolf so restless. Yet, when she inquired about what was troubling him, Greedy Wolf simply waved his hand, not revealing his thoughts to her.

As soon as the military conference was over, Feng Yi rushed back to the Blazing Flame Legion and secluded himself in a "little black room," entering a state of meditation where he allowed no disturbances. In fact, this so-called state of meditation was just the elder brother idling with nothing better to do, silently mulling over matters by himself.

Feng Yi had a rather unique mind, known for his leaps of thought and not lacking in long-term vision, but there were times when even he could not fully grasp his thoughts. Just like the question Greedy Wolf had posed in front of the communication projection, it was only after spending millions of brain cells and incessantly tapping his thumb on the desk while propping his chin in deep thought... that he had come up with this method.

Who knew that on his way back, Feng Yi would suddenly feel an odd sensation throughout his body? At that time, he believed his ideas were quite comprehensive, that he had not left any loose ends, but upon returning to the warship—more accurately, on his way back—he felt that sensation again, as though something crucial was missing, though he couldn't specify what exactly.

Or perhaps, the fact that federal intelligence could peek at the insufficient defense forces in such an important star region as the Twin Stars was proof enough of the spy's adept capability. It also indirectly reflected the shortcomings in Saudi's security. Feng Yi didn't want to doubt anyone, but the grave nature of the matter compelled him to give it more thought. But what if the intelligence regarding the Twin Stars was indeed accurate?

It wasn't long before Captain Annie knocked several times on his door before barging into his room. As the highest commander of the Bermuda Star River, Annie's jurisdiction was not limited to just the Sky Eagle Fleet but included the Hengyu and Sky fleets as well. One simply could not discern any signs of aging on this almost 40-year-old woman; she not only possessed the imposing presence of a high-ranking commander and acted decisively on missions but also had a side that was sagacious and reserved, like a ripe peach awaiting harvest.

In the federal upper class, Annie was rumored to be the perfect goddess for many, and despite her not having married or had children—since her hectic military life had not afforded her those opportunities—what did it matter? Annie always had no lack of admirers around her. Speaking of which, perhaps it wouldn't be an overstatement to say her admirers circled around Alpha itself. After all, her command skills at that time were on par with Amelia's, this celebrated young general on the current list of notable generals—a notable general indeed.

Having graduated from a prestigious military academy, Annie was naturally a dominant figure on campus. And yet, no matter how time insisted on aging people, it had failed to leave its mark on her face. While the ageless goddess Annie might not reveal her age to the ordinary onlooker, through her voice, manners, and even the slightest smile, most people could conjecture that she was no naive, inexperienced woman. Instead, her mature appeal was even more enchanting to many men, an allure not easily replicated by ordinary women.

When she pushed open the door to Feng Yi's room, Feng Yi had not anticipated anyone entering his room at will after his order, disrupting his train of thought. A strict and formal military unit not only required solid qualities, a strong will, and fearless spirit, but also absolute execution. Since Feng Yi had previously ordered that no one from the Blazing Flame soldiers should disturb him, the visitor was naturally not one of them. Instinct warned him that the person might be an assassin, a deluded female soldier, or perhaps—well, he couldn't quite figure it out. Regardless, it was truly infuriating to have his hard-won train of thought interrupted.

But on seeing Annie, Feng Yi let go of his frustration. If it was this commander of the Bermuda Star River coming to his place, and if it was something important, John indeed did not need to report in advance, "What brings Captain Annie to my quarters?" Feng Yi said, waiting for Annie to continue with that thought in mind.

Annie just gave a slight smile, explaining that she had no special purpose for her visit other than to look up to the federal hero they all admired. Of course, she also had a message to convey—perhaps it could be considered General Greedy Wolf's concern. She asked Feng Yi if he was troubled by anything, as during the time before he turned off the Light Screen, General Feng's worried facial expressions had been fully recorded. If there were any concerns, he might as well share them.

Yes, you did not misread it; if there are concerns, speaking out about them is the only way others will know. How could anyone be aware if one person insists on thinking solo and working in isolation? One person, one battlefield, a star region known as Mardis where one has barely escaped death only to move onto a new battlefield—could the mood not be somber?

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought in Annie's mind, dismissed after 0.2 seconds. She quickly discarded the thought, considering it too immature. If it were the newly graduated Feng Yi from Wind Thunder Military Academy who harbored such thoughts, it wouldn't have been surprising. But now, the responsibilities Feng Yi bore were heavier than anyone else's, and the life and death decisions he faced far outweighed those of ordinary soldiers. How could such a soldier of great integrity harbor such a sentiment? Thus, Annie quickly put the thought out of her mind.
