Swish, swish, swish... With a burst of hand speed, Feng Yi instantly unleashed the X2 Overriding; amid swinging the Silver Spear, the Silver Spear seemed like a silver dragon winding ceaselessly through the battlefield, nimbly maneuvering around the enemy ranks. In just a moment, half of the Saudi soldiers had fallen. To hell with this, how is anyone supposed to fight? Another small group immediately turned tail and fled.

On the Archangel, the various raiding groups had already returned one after another. John, eyes bloodshot, grabbed a staff officer by the collar, "Where is the commander?"

"The eighth squad was held back by the enemy, and the commander took a mecha to support them three minutes ago."

John violently pushed him away, "You, you, and you two, gather the elite troops and follow me to the rescue." John's voice was unmistakable, leaving no room for doubt, and no one dared to question it. Although he was the third in command of this troop, the hothead and the powder keg, anyone who dared say "no" would either die on the battlefield or have a breakdown right here.

In fact, without awaiting John's order, everyone was already moving. The powder keg didn't hesitate for a second. To hell with it, if I have to die, I have to die. This unit could be without anyone, but it couldn't be without Feng Yi. Without the commander, what the hell kind of Blaze Troop would it still be?

Just then, Feng Yi's voice suddenly came through the communicator, "John, assist with the last transport aircraft, order the carrier to prepare for takeoff."

"Commander, but you...?"

"We're already on our way back at full speed, 7000 meters away, about one minute away from arrival, prepare for takeoff."

Upon hearing this, John's lifted heart finally eased. With a hiss, a giant tremor from the exhaust jet shook the belly of the Archangel. A lifting platform about a hundred meters wide suddenly popped out from the inside... However, at the same time, John's brow furrowed, looking at the increasingly brilliant flashes of light in the distance, he had a bad feeling that it could be...

Half a minute later, the transporter arrived first, and Feng Yi, along with 300 assault soldiers, had reached the ship. Other than pursuing this unlucky assault troop, the Empire chose not to pursue further. First, for fear of a trap, and due to the abruptness of their lightning attack, they simply couldn't muster effective fighting power in such a short time, let alone chase. Second, they couldn't wait for this group of troublemakers to leave sooner—the further, the better, hopefully flying out of this planet. They weren't welcome on this planet.

Thankfully, their wish was soon to be fulfilled. Now nearly a hundred of the 300-strong squad had boarded the warship, but at this crucial moment, the dim glow in the distance grew brighter and more intense. They were the Support Troops from the local star system. This raid had wasted too much time already. Originally planned for a return within 15 minutes of the start of the raid, and thanks to the speed advantage of Silver Spear 9, they had targeted super long-distance objectives. If they delayed any longer, it was possible that...

"Take off now, we will stay behind." Batch by batch, Blaze soldiers made the choice one after another to turn around, including the one who was about to step onto the ship, who simply smiled and chose to stay here with the brother he had grown up with.

"I order all of you damn get up here now—John, issue the command for a salvo, stop the enemy in their tracks, hit them hard!"

The young Potte clansman spoke calmly, "It's too late, commander. The days we've been following you have been joyful. Though we haven't gotten houses, haven't taken wives, there are no cowards among Blaze soldiers. Keep fighting and carry our dreams."

He was the first to choose to self-destruct, followed by the others. Right in front of Feng Yi, they didn't even have time to express more words.

Yes, this group of brave soldiers could have clashed head-on with the enemy. Their quality might not have been the strongest, but they were certainly the bravest. They should have died in the heat of battle, at the enemy's muzzle, but to expedite the ascent of the Blaze Troop, they made such a decision without the slightest hesitation. The bond of comrades seemed mundane, yet was filled with an indomitable spirit.

"Damn bunch of idiots," Feng Yi's eyes reddened as he turned and walked back to his room, cursing under his breath...

This battle saved over 300 prisoners of war, yet forever lost 800 valiant fighters! Feng Yi felt it wasn't worth it. Even if there were any troops left on Planet A, he wouldn't choose to accept this damn mission, but he had no choice. Given another chance, he would still make the same decision.

His heart was somewhat troubled, but he had no regrets and felt no guilt. As a commander, he had done all he could, even what others couldn't. Perhaps he wasn't a qualified commander at all, or perhaps his military knowledge was still far too lacking.

The Archangel took to the skies quickly. After its ascent, it was especially targeted by Saudi surface-to-air missiles, with most being intercepted by extraterritorial satellites accompanying the fleet, but two escort ships were not spared. The fiery fleet was driven right out of the Twin Planet A space domain.

In fact, Feng Yi's original plan was not to retreat, but to do the opposite; you think I run, but I actually perform a roundabout advance. Don't forget he had equipped the elite fighters of the fiery legion with Space Crystals.

As misfortune would have it, barely having banked around Planet A, they ran smack into the returning main fleet of the Devil Star Cluster, escorted by two super-warriors.

The fiery legion was truly in a dire state this time. Although casualties were few during the flight, they were beaten to a sorry state. Against the tens of times stronger super fleet, Feng Yi paid the price of six escort ships and one destroyer fleet, giving the orders to run without saying goodbye or shaking hands.

As a result, they circled around and ran from Planet B back to Planet A. Although the fiery fleet tried to avoid the vicinity of Planet A as much as possible, the enemy had communications, and you didn't. They were ambushed 20 astronomical units outside the domain of Planet A and chased off like flies to the eastern part of the Devil Star Cluster, near the border region of the Diya Alliance.

The Diya Alliance nations and Valan were fiercely locked in battle, hard to separate. Suddenly, a fleet shrouded in billowing black smoke, looking like it could explode at any moment, appeared out of nowhere, joining the fray.

This unloved fleet was then relentlessly pursued by Valan, and even the Diya alliance, serving as allies, showed them no favor, seemingly abandoning this lone unit completely.

"This is the Federal Level B fleet, requesting communication—ally response, ally response, Federal Major General Feng Yi requesting communication."

Secretary of the Diya Super Fleet Command Room: "General, this is the third call from that Federal Army commander."

"Ignore him. The Federal Army can't possibly have such a run-down fleet," the general sighed softly, thinking that this too was an order from the higher-ups.

After several unsuccessful attempts to establish contact, Feng Yi completely gave up on communicating, slamming his military cap to the ground in frustration. Allies, is it? To hell with the allies! A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses for revenge; this old man will remember this.

Having been on the run until now, even his powder keg cap was knocked askew. The old captain, once a pirate leader, bore somewhat the look of returning to his old ways.

The alpha wolf had gone blind in one eye, becoming a lone wolf.

After two more rounds of combat, Feng Yi personally joined in a defense and evasion battle. His rank had blown away to who knows where, and he was beaten till he looked neither human nor ghost—now, all the soldiers in the fleet had the air of desperados about them, and 2000 brothers were lost in this flight.

This fiery legion that set out from Capital Planet once claimed great victories, conquered Alpha, and zigzagged all the way to Mardis. Then, departing from Mardis on an expedition to the Twin Stars, they ended up not tricking anyone but instead got pummeled like dogs. Their tragic journey in trying to rescue their comrades could almost be written into an epic war saga of tearful heroism.
