Chapter 1 "This... This, can you really do it?"

Looking at Yan Hui standing before them, Waldo and several commanders stationed on Qilan Star were full of suspicion. Even with the Major General's personal orders for this man to take over command of Qilan Star, they still couldn't believe it.

This person, wasn't he a game developer?

How could he possibly be a commander?

Was this some kind of insult to those of them who were born into command?

Not far away, because of Yan Hui's appearance, Mei Shi and her husband, along with Julian, whom Yan Hui had specifically asked to be well-protected, had also come to watch.

Mainly Julian; Yan Hui intended to give him a chance to learn.

"I didn't know Yan Hui had this skill?"

Mei Shi's casual remark instantly turned Julian's face green.

He really thought he was going to learn something!

But now, seriously? Even his own people didn't think Yan Hui had the ability to command, and they dared to let him take over Qilan Star at this critical juncture?!

Julian looked at Yan Hui with suspicion, then at the many commanders around him who seemed to be holding back their words.

Among them, Sun Yunzhong, who was originally there as an assistant with the intention of learning, was also a little dazed.

This person, he didn't remember him being from the military, did he?

Ming Yi glanced at Julian beside him, and seeing the constant flicker in his eyes, he knew that his wife's words had frightened him.

"If he can't, someone else will," Ming Yi said quietly. After so many years, the tacit understanding between the two of them went without saying.

After Mei Shi looked at Ming Yi, a look of realization appeared on her face. But then, she seemed to think of something else, and sighed, murmuring, "Maybe, after this time..."

Mei Shi blinked, her memory seeming to return to many years ago. She sighed softly, "Ah, it's been so long. Even reincarnation would be enough to raise a new generation."

[You call me, I must always come.]

The voice of an old friend came through Yan Hui's headset, eliciting a soft laugh from Yan Hui.

He raised his eyes to look at the command panel before him. His optical brain was synchronizing everything he saw, allowing the guy he had wrangled over the network to get to work as soon as possible.

Soon, Mo Wenshu's voice echoed in Yan Hui's head once more: [The situation here is terrible, just like when we were besieged.]

"Do you have a solution?"

Hearing Yan Hui's question, the other commanders exchanged glances. Just as they were about to speak, they saw Yan Hui raise his hand in a gesture of silence.

He wasn't talking to them.

The others, not knowing that Yan Hui had already wrangled someone through the main brain, exchanged glances and came to a shocking conclusion—

Wasn't this guy crazy?

And the worst part was that their Major General said to let this crazy person command?!

[Of course, there is a solution.]

...

Hua Lan Starfield,

Qiao Xiyu and the others were also live-streaming the battle of Qilan Star on the Star Network.

They also expressed their highest respect for the garrison soldiers on Qilan Star.

"The Empire's Sixth Legion is indeed fierce. To be able to hold out for so long against so many Zerg, if it were any other legion..."

It wasn't that they in the Federation wanted to belittle one and praise another, it was just that the soldiers of the Sixth Legion were truly worthy.

Thinking back to the time with the Empire's Third Legion, although it was later said that the Zerg had taken advantage of leaked information, who could say that the Sixth Legion on Qilan Star was ambushed with preparation?

"They are indeed worthy of respect."

Qiao Xiyu seriously watched the live stream with several generals who were taking a shift break. As they watched the battle starships and mechs being constantly shot down, the expression on their faces became increasingly uncontrollable.

Some mechs and battle starships were caught by the mechs that specialized in rescuing damaged combat machines on the battlefield before they crashed into the ground, allowing them to receive timely treatment.

Others were torn to pieces by a group of Zerg in mid-air, leaving nothing behind.

And still others exploded with the surrounding Zerg, turning into a pile of charred remains that fell to the ground...

Not to mention them, even the barrage in the live broadcast room dwindled to almost nothing in the end. Many people watched these scenes, sobbing uncontrollably, not to mention Lu Xiaoyao, who was on the scene rescuing these people.

In the past, Lu Xiaoyao had complained that the Pink Periwinkle was heavy and bulky, not at all girly, except for its name. But this time, for the first time, Lu Xiaoyao wished her mech could be even bigger, so she could carry even more downed mechs.

She could even break through the encirclement of the Zerg and rescue those people.

"Wuwuwu! Damn you, Zerg!"

Lu Xiaoyao piloted her mech, her hands full of scrapped mechs and battle starships. Lu Xiaoyao didn't even have a free hand to wave away the Zerg flying towards her.

She protected the warships and mechs she had rescued under her, charging forward like a headless fly. But the more she charged, the more Zerg there were, so many that when Mingmei and Mu Chen received new orders to cooperate with others in battle, they rescued Lu Xiaoyao as a matter of course, and Lu Xiaoyao was still charging blindly.

"Wrong way, wrong way! You're charging the wrong way!"

Mingmei grabbed the bulky Pink Periwinkle and pulled her back, changing her direction. Then, she saw Lu Xiaoyao continue to charge in that direction.

The whole time, she didn't seem to hear Mingmei's voice.

Mingmei: "She's so busy she's gone crazy, right?"

Before Mingmei could continue to complain to Mu Chen, the familiar voice of command came through the command channel again.

At first, when Mingmei heard her uncle's voice, she even thought she was hallucinating. It wasn't until she confirmed it with Waldo that she dared to believe that reality was even more magical than fiction.

Her uncle, a game developer, was actually here to command the battlefield?

Seriously, isn't anyone going to do something about this?

Even though Mingmei was surprised, she understood that Yan Hui's taking over command here had extraordinary significance. In addition, from the tone of her uncle's commands from the very beginning, it was completely different from when they usually interacted.

Although Mingmei didn't have anything to compare his level of command to, she vaguely had expectations for her uncle's tactics.

[Live, until the breakout.]

Her uncle's command completely abandoned the previous decapitation plan. He even made her and Mu Chen the bait instead.

The destructive power of two SSSS-level mechs was clear to all the Zerg.

According to their previous plans for humans, Mingmei and Mu Chen charging to the front would definitely attract a large number of attacks.

Such a dangerous order. Mingmei thought about it. If her parents were here, her uncle would probably be beaten to death by them.

Unless there was some kind of backup plan.

But this backup plan was something Mingmei couldn't know. Even Mei Shi, if Ming Yi hadn't stopped her, would probably have rushed up and beaten Yan Hui to death.

"Let go of me!"

Mei Shi didn't manage to hit Ming Yi, who was blocking her, with her fist. Instead, she slapped a dent into the wall of the command room.

The sight of the super-hard wall made of special alloy being punched into a pit stopped everyone who had wanted to step forward to stop this suddenly berserk lady.

Just standing there and shouting "No" made them feel like they had already taken a trip to the Grim Reaper.

No one wanted to take Mei Shi's punch. Julian, who was watching from nearby, unconsciously moved his feet back a little.

Heavens!

Is this what it's like when such a stunning beauty gets violent?

Just as everyone was worried that this "stranger" would disturb their upcoming battle deployment, Mei Shi herself suddenly stopped.

She stood there blankly, looking at Yan Hui, who was standing in front of the command console, turning around with a cold expression, his cold gaze like an invisible hand gripping Mei Shi's neck tightly.

Seeing Mei Shi suddenly stop, the other party seemed to be pleased. He turned around and continued to command.

In the middle of it all, a light sigh that only he could hear came from his mouth.

"I wasn't trying to scare you. I just don't like it when people question my command."

After saying that, "Yan Hui" continued to raise his head and look at the disparate number of troops on the command panel, his eyes gradually becoming more serious. He ignored what was happening behind him and focused on sending all the commands down to the command channel...
