Counterfeit Hero

After stepping out of the [Antenna], Tian Xingjian found Torick.

He handed the intelligence in his hand to Torick and asked, "Take a look at this communication, what do you know about this Mythical Legion?"

Torick seriously examined the electronic document and was astonished: "The entire twenty Special Forces Camps are wiped out?!" He frowned and continued, "Mythical Legion, I've often heard about it before, but it was all rumors. After the war started, we discovered that the enemy's Special Forces were not as formidable as the rumors suggested, and we thought the Mythical Legion was just exaggerated hearsay. But now, it seems to be quite formidable. If those rumors are true, we might be in trouble this time."

Tian Xingjian said, "Tell me about these rumors. Based on the intelligence, this legion isn't that simple."

Torick smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, the so-called Mythical Legion was just a logistics armored transport camp hundreds of years ago. Under the leadership of a war-mad camp commander, the soldiers in this camp trained harder and were more terrifying than the Special Forces at the time. Without advanced weapons and equipment, they found ways to seize them from the enemy, and then modified them to suit their needs. Thus, they were present in almost every battle. Once the logistical tasks were finished, this group would turn into frontline combat troops. They were an anomaly. Under the command of that war monster, they made a name for themselves through countless victories, including assassinations, ambushes, sabotage, poisoning, spreading rumors, and intelligence theft. There was nothing they wouldn't do or couldn't achieve. Several Special Forces units that were surrounded were rescued by them without any air drops, just by fighting their way in. The first thing those rescued Special Forces did upon return was collectively apply to join this logistics transport camp. Eventually, due to their numerous merits and widespread fame, other Special Forces Camps couldn't even compare. The Gazalin Military Department then formed a Special Forces Group around this logistics transport camp. Because its formation and development seemed mythical, it was named the Mythical Special Group and placed under the direct command of the Imperial Family. Over the centuries, this Special Group developed into a Special Forces Division, calling itself the Mythical Legion. As a Special Forces unit, such a large formation is actually a waste, but their role in wars extended beyond small special operations. This division could defeat several times its number of enemies on the battlefield, excelling in both attack and defense. Although puzzling, there have always been rumors that Energy Cannons and missiles almost have no effect on their Single Soldier Mechas. Their Mecha combat style is close combat, like Private Mechas."

The more Tian Xingjian listened, the more shocked he became. This Imperial Special Forces had surpassed his imagination. A logistics armored transport camp could transform into a Royal unit of the Gazalin Empire, not only surviving but growing over centuries of warfare, becoming a large division. Not only proficient in special operations, but also able to conduct offensive and defensive operations. More importantly, their Mecha combat style upended the entire history of Mecha warfare. No wonder all the advanced Mecha designs stored in the lab computer, including the Prototype No.1 of Milan, pointed towards close combat, with extreme defense and maneuverability.

Torick, still brooding, said, "In hundreds of years of war, there is almost no other armed force that hasn't suffered devastating blows. Even the most elite units among those superpowers had to be rebuilt several times over such a long period and high intensity of war. This unit, completely loyal to the Imperial Family of Gazalin, guarantees the Royal Family's control over Gazalin. Countless rebellions were ultimately resolved by them, brutal to both external enemies and internal dissent. They are born fighting machines."

Then what is this army's purpose here? Tian Xingjian climbed into his Mecha, scrutinizing the electronic map of the criss-cross battle zones on Miloke Star. Such an elite force couldn't have been deployed just to surround and eliminate the rear-attack Federation Special Forces. Moreover, they couldn't have known about the sudden Federation operation in advance, meaning their presence here must have a special purpose.

What could it be? Currently, any of the surrounded cities could become their target of attack. Their involvement could expedite the resolution of battles, but there are no signs of them attacking these cities. So, what is their target?
