Counterfeit Hero

The order from Liebgoet came a bit late, and the Imperial Army already engaged by the Sixteenth Armored Division of the Federation Air Marine Corps and the Army First Armored Division couldn’t retreat smoothly. As soon as the Sixteenth and First Divisions noticed signs of enemy retreat, they immediately launched a counterattack to desperately slow down the enemy’s withdrawal.

Meanwhile, after the Imperial Fleet retreated from the Space Jump Point, they hadn’t stabilized their position and couldn’t effectively counter or contain, especially with Leray Federation’s third-phase landing forces parachuting in like a mountain. The fact that the Federation had gained a foothold on Lucerne Planet was unchangeable.

Stephen paced back and forth with a pale face in the Command Room. He hadn’t expected to mess up his first performance in front of his father, James, so thoroughly. Russell, that cunning fox, he was the one truly holding the trump cards, yet instead of a forced landing, he outwitted Stephen! As Stephen glanced back at the nonchalant Liebgoet, he suddenly wondered, was this old guy really here to help him?

Depressed

Frustrated

Tian Xingjian looked at Russell and Bernadotte with frustration, sighed, and said, "You had this planned all along, didn’t you?"

Russell replied, "Yes, from the moment I realized you saw through my plan. I needed someone to replace me to lead the Freedom Front and coordinate all my military actions within the Federation. Since you’ve passed the assessment, then naturally, it’s you."

Tian Xinjian feigned ignorance, "But I’m afraid of dying, I don’t want to go." Bernadotte slyly smiled and said, "Then Major Ann Lei, who is responsible for intelligence liaison behind enemy lines, would be quite disappointed." Fatty heard this and lost his temper immediately, thinking back to his flirting in Bernadotte’s office with Ann. Well, wait for the day when I’ll pay you back! He lowered his head dejectedly and asked, "Just tell me, where do you want to send me?"
