Pan Commander has fallen. This news struck the young man like a bolt from the blue.
His face showed deep sorrow, and after a long silence, tears streamed down like beads from a broken string, falling relentlessly.
Fallen? How could this happen?
The scene shifted to half a minute earlier, in Outer Space.
Cao Ke left Jufeng and quickly returned to his Command Ship. The Zhongzheng Army’s Battleships had sustained varying degrees of damage due to the self-destruct strategy implemented by Jufeng. If they continued on this path, they would likely face an unavoidable disaster.
“General, we have less than thirty percent of flight energy left. We should leave as soon as possible.”
Cao Ke looked at Jufeng, drifting helplessly in space, his teeth clenched in frustration. Alongside this anger was a hint of unwillingness.
“Notify Battleships Two and Three to separate and ram the wreckage into the First Army. Then gather at point e9 and prepare for jump.”
The subordinate couldn’t help but admire Cao Ke’s decisiveness. Those two Battleships had been seasoned veterans on the battlefield for years, yet he was willing to abandon them without hesitation, displaying a kind of bravery akin to cutting off one’s own arm.
However, he couldn’t help but feel sympathy for the First Army. It was truly unfortunate for them to encounter an opponent like Cao Ke.
In the distance, Jufeng hovered in Interstellar Space, still fuming over Pand Zhong’s lack of recognition and pondering the source of his own unease. Suddenly, he noticed the two Battleships of the Zhongzheng Army beginning to separate.
The separation referred to the command center detaching from the Battleships, allowing the command center to conserve energy and extend its flight range.
Most people thought that Cao Ke was fleeing in panic, but Jufeng did not share that view.
In that moment, he contemplated many things, but ultimately his thoughts settled on the research results of Jiang Xue.
He was in a state of panic!
The hurricane transformed into a shooting star, wildly charging towards the First Army's Battleship fleet. Jufeng was frantically trying to connect with the First Army's communications, repeatedly attempting to establish a link.
Moments later, Pand Zhong, perhaps feeling a pang of conscience, finally managed to connect with Jufeng. However, by then, it was too late.
Two main Battleships from the Zhongzheng Army were racing towards the First Army at full speed.
"Hey! Why are you bothering me?"
Jufeng couldn't make out what Pand Zhong was saying; he just shouted frantically, "Run!"
Then, chaos erupted on the other end of the communication.
Shortly after, the two Battleships from the Zhongzheng Army collided with the Zhongzheng fleet, turning the cosmos into a sea of fire in an instant.
Even nearby mechs were affected, losing control and flying off into the distance.
Ouyang Chang watched this scene unfold, his mouth agape in shock.
He realized the severity of the situation and began searching for Jufeng in the vastness of space. After a moment, he received a signal from Jufeng.
"All soldiers of the Dragon Breaker Army, assemble towards e9. We must hold back Cao Ke."
Ouyang Chang led his troops swiftly towards Jufeng's location and spotted Cao Ke's Fleet ahead.
However, despite Jufeng's furious voice, reality could not be changed; they were powerless to catch up.
The attack had been meticulously planned, and Cao Ke, as the prepared party, had anticipated every possible outcome. Therefore, it was impossible for Jufeng to catch him.
At least not at this moment; Jufeng was not capable of such a feat.
Watching as Cao Ke's Fleet lingered in one location, the Dragon Breaker Army's Battleship mechs unleashed their Shells.
Unfortunately, wherever the Shells landed, they ultimately left nothing but emptiness.
This battle had come to an end.
Looking back at the sea of flames, Jufeng had never felt so desolate.
He knew that Pand Zhong had not fallen to the enemy but had instead perished at the hands of his own people.
Despite the rifts between the two sides, Jufeng could not accept such an outcome.
"Lead the troops back to Near Earth Star."
This border war was the most frenzied and intense conflict since the Suihuan Army had risen to power.
The results of this war were astonishing: one of the five Dragon Head Army's First Army commanders had sacrificed himself, and the First Army had nearly been wiped out. Additionally, a Commander from the Scorpion Army had been captured, leaving the entire Scorpion Army effectively imprisoned.
It was brutal—truly brutal.
However, this battle was merely a spark. After Cao Ke returned to the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Suihuan Army launched a frenzied all-out assault on the Magellan Star System, plunging the entire border into flames.
Jufeng sat in the Dragon Breaker Army's office at Near Earth Star, staring silently at the report in his hands.
After a moment, he raised his head and asked Ouyang Chang, "Who is in overall command at the border now?"
"It's Commander Zhang Huwei."
Jufeng felt a sense of relief upon hearing this answer. It wasn't because Zhang Huwei was a member of the New Wave Party or because he had once helped Romain. It was simply because he knew Zhang Huwei's background and understood that he was a reliable person.
Seeing Jufeng fall silent again, Ouyang Chang couldn't help but worry. Ever since returning to Near Earth Star, Romain had hardly smiled or left his room, which made Ouyang anxious.
The most important thing for a military leader was to establish the spirit of the army. If Romain panicked, the entire Dragon Breaker Army would be thrown into chaos.
Sensing Ouyang Chang's concern, Romain placed the documents in his hand on the table and reassured him, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Ouyang Chang believed Romain, even if it was during his low moments.
"Ganwen wants to see you; he has come several times."
At the mention of Ganwen's name, Romain's anger flared. He slammed his hand on the table and said sternly, "How dare he come to see me!"
Ouyang Chang felt innocent, thinking to himself that this had nothing to do with him.
Romain realized he had overreacted and fell silent for a moment before changing the subject.
"What about Xiao Ji?"
Successfully capturing Xiao Ji was undoubtedly the biggest achievement of this mission. When Ouyang Chang first heard this news, he was taken aback; he never expected that just one division could accomplish such an incredible feat. It made him view the Hurricane Army with newfound respect.
"She is still in custody. We've interrogated her several times but gained nothing. Qi Fa is considering whether to use torture."
Jufeng shook his head without a second thought, denying, "For someone like Xiao Ji, using force is useless; it will only pull us into opposition."
After a moment of contemplation, he continued, "Since he was captured by the Hurricane Army, let's just send him back to them. Remember, if the Military Affairs Department causes trouble, stop them in my name—no exceptions."
Ouyang Chang nodded. The Hurricane Army had already shown considerable courtesy by sending the prisoner over. It was only natural to return him when there were no results on their side.
Ouyang Chang recalled something and consulted again, "General, there's one more thing. Pand Zhong's son has come several times; he wants to see you."
Pand Zhong had sacrificed himself. What could his son possibly want from him? Was he here to seek retribution?
Jufeng felt troubled. He initially did not want to meet but reconsidered and finally said, "Find a time; I will see him."
