Counterfeit Hero

That wasn’t wavering. In her original state, she didn’t have the resolve to die. In modern warfare, captured enemy senior officers are protected by war conventions, generally without a risk to their lives.

However, the dissatisfaction and struggle in her heart turned into a compromise under pressure. Moreover, she found countless excuses for this compromise within her heart, even finding many noble reasons.

Since failure is acceptable, since the outcome cannot be changed, then compromise is only natural. Bringing back hundreds of thousands of soldiers in this meticulous layout and knowing about the Fei’s invisible warships doesn’t seem like a complete loss.

”Our invisible warships will be discovered sooner or later. It’s impossible to keep it hidden. This information won’t matter much in the future, but at this moment, it’s crucial for Hamfrey. With this information and Hastings’ meticulous layout, he can report to the country, and maybe he can even pin the blame on Mikami Yuto.”

Fang Xiang said as she walked to the beverage machine to pour herself a cup of coffee, smiling brightly at Cecilia: ”And we not only exchanged for two Elephant-level fleets but also made the Western Alliance high command understand that the Southeast Star Domain is not completely under their control. A powerful army, including two Elephant-level fleets, will appear on Mars.

Hamfrey’s encounter will give them enough warnings when they try to attack Mars. When we disappear into the Mars Channel for a day, they’ll be on edge, which won’t benefit their attack on the Leray Newton Star System. Who knows when Feiyang’s invisible warships might show up next to them?”

”Do you find him deep and cunning, maybe a bit frightening?” Fang Xiang winked at Cecilia upon seeing her dumbfounded expression. Her usual composed and steady demeanor suddenly transformed into a charming cuteness between companions.

Cecilia honestly nodded.

Recalling Fatty’s transition from a greedy little figure to a confident image of a great general, and how he advanced this psychological game with a seemingly trivial lie, her heart was overwhelmed by two words—monster!

A single lie could lead to so many twists and turns. This intellectual game had surpassed her imagination and understanding.

Initially seeming unlikely to be persuaded, Hamfrey ultimately acknowledged defeat and agreed to the trade, seemingly completed in this subtle influence.

”That was all honed through war.” Thinking about meeting Fatty and negotiating with him where she nearly died from anger, Fang Xiang showed a charming smile at the corner of her mouth: ”No matter how you think about that Fatty, you have to admit, that guy is a genius. Now, he can declare Mars as the bandit army’s backyard. Once these warships are modified in parts, the Mars Free Channel will become a nightmare for any Western Alliance Fleet.”

Turning her head, Fang Xiang looked at the enchanting starry sky outside the porthole. Watching countless Mechas ejecting from the Leray Battleship and Bandit Army Warship, her expression suddenly became somewhat worried and concerned, saying: ”It would be better to continue like this, why did he agree to that mission?!”

”Alright!...” The little kid followed behind Russell with a serious expression, muttering: ”...I have to admit, that Fatty gave Lord Fart a surprise.”

Russell took big steps towards the shuttle platform of the mothership, ignoring the adorable version of the Artificial Intelligence with short legs trotting beside him. Although outwardly calm and composed as usual, anyone could notice his bright eyes and steps that were evidently stiff due to excitement.

Dozens of senior officers followed behind Russell. These were the elite selected in the Leray Seed Plan. If Fatty were here, he would recognize more than half of these people.

Among them, aside from Rashid and Stewart from Fatty’s first and second bandit army groups, there was also Pat and other Leray officers he rescued at the beginning. Now, they were walking while excitedly turning their heads to look through the porthole at the flying Space Mechas. These Space Mechas were traversing the Binart Fleet.

Next to these Mechas, Binart Battleships had shut down their thrusters, extinguished their engines, and opened their hatches.

In the corridor, soldiers were rushing back and forth, saluting this group of officers who were overflowing with joy and excitement. Their eyes showed their shared excitement!

Hamid closely followed Russell, his face flushed from blood rising.

Russell, to this Kentai person, was a god-like existence.

He served Russell with his life, and no one knew Russell better than him. Over the years, except when James was captured and Gazalin Morton family rule was completely overturned with Stephen’s death, he had never seen this man, burdened with the nation’s reemergence, who tread on thin ice for decades, so joyful.

Hamid was Russell’s extremely devout believer. Russell’s will was his life.

At this moment, walking beside Russell, seeing the uncontrollable smile on Russell’s lips and the thick anticipation in his eyes, Hamid felt an immense happiness swell his heart.

Gazalin was reclaimed single-handedly by Fatty. And this time, Fatty gave Russell another surprise.

He truly deserved to be Russell’s only personally taught disciple; he hadn’t embarrassed Russell!

Hamid clenched his fists tightly. Fatty did a good job!

A battered carrier appeared outside the porthole, getting closer and closer. The officers entered the shuttle cabin door, each finding a seat. The little kid also sat next to Russell and said, ”We’ve taken control of the Binart Battleship; should we conveniently scoop up the Feiyang Battleship too?”

The officers turned their heads in shock, only to see the little kid innocently suggesting to Russell: ”Heaven knows, earth knows, under the cover of night. Damn, it’s a good opportunity.”
