Mr. Antonio felt there was no problem.

Even if there were problems, he would find a way to overcome them.

He knew that the military competition proposed by Tang Fei could fundamentally resolve the mutual hostility between the two fleets... mainly the symptoms of his own fleet's discrimination against the Beihai Fleet.

By having them focus their time and energy on the competition, it could both divert tensions and spark a martial fervor throughout the army, discovering exceptional military talent—this multifaceted benefit had no reason for him not to agree.

"Mr. Tang Fei, this idea is truly excellent. For the Sea God Fleet to ally with an elite force like the Beihai Fleet is an honor for us."

"I will have the Staff Headquarters contact the Beihai Fleet to discuss the details of the naval competition... As for us, esteemed Mr. Tang Fei, let us drink this cup to your wisdom as vast and abundant as the sea."

"To Mr. Antonio's health."

Several people emptied their champagne glasses in one go.

Antonio personally refilled everyone's empty glasses, looked at Tang Fei, and asked, "Mr. Tang Fei, what are your plans next?"

"I was just about to discuss this with you. Now that the Beihai Fleet is integrated, we are ready to embark on the next journey."

"Mr. Tang Fei, as you know, we have eagerly awaited this moment. Please believe us, we will certainly be your most reliable friends."

"Of course, I have no doubt about this." Tang Fei said sincerely, "In my most difficult time, my good friend Prince Philip stood up to help me, and I will forever cherish this bond."

"To Prince Philip."

"To my fervent friend Prince Philip."

Tang Fei took satisfied steps leaving the Sea God Fleet.

It was only when the aircraft they were on flew far away that Tang Fei's eyes gradually cleared.

"Are they still secretly contacting our officers?" Tang Fei asked aloud.

"Yes." Chen Binghan immediately replied, "After we discovered the situation, we threw him several 'baits'."

"Hmm." Tang Fei nodded and instructed, "Make sure to control them strictly so that those baits remain under our control. We must not engage in the foolish act of losing rather than gaining."

"Understood, we have specially controlled the baits, and they dare not escape our grasp."

Chen Binghan did not mention their control methods, knowing that such sordid affairs need not reach the Lord's ears.

"Agreed." Tang Fei acknowledged without pursuing further details.

He didn't need to know everything; caring about everything would make leadership overwhelmingly exhausting.

Red Moon City. City Lord Mansion.

The cool moon hung high.

The night enveloped in strands of chill sank into the depths of the fog, and silk draperies glowed with a pearl-like sheen in the spring night.

A gentle breeze parted the window drapery, revealing a slender silhouette on the bed.

The girl was dressed in a white cotton nightshirt, curled up deep in the soft ergonomic bed, her flowing black hair piled like a moving ink ribbon, her earlobes faintly rosy after the makeup had faded, and her eyelashes cast shadows like butterfly wings on her jade-like face.

Her features were exquisitely refined, her skin fair as snow.

Her small mouth moved, murmuring something indistinct.

Suddenly, a dark figure flashed through and entered the room via the open window.

He stood by the bed, admiring the girl's adorable posture as she slept, then grew bolder, lying down beside her, lightly holding her in his arms.

The tip of the girl's nose crinkled slightly, catching a whiff of a familiar scent.

She turned around, immersing her entire body into the man's embrace.

"You've returned?" The girl's voice was as crisp as the sound of a stream in the mountain, bubbling melodiously.

"Yes." Tang Fei reached out, stroked the girl's black hair, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of embracing the wrong person?"

"Not afraid." Phoenix said softly, eyes closed, "I smelled your scent."

"You knew I would come?"

"Yes." Phoenix hummed, "Little Fatty and Si Yu returned, saying you were working over at the Beihai Fleet. I knew you would come over once your work was done."

"Just finished up." Tang Fei replied with a smile, "Did you miss me?"

"I did."

"Where did you miss me?"

"..."

"Come, let me check if your mouth missed me."

"Hmm..." Phoenix softly hummed.

Then their lips touched together closely.

It was a night filled with spring warmth.

Red Moon City.

Staff Headquarters.

When Tang Fei accompanied Phoenix through the door, Little Fatty, Xun Pu, Qin Jianyi, Lu Siyu, Shen Qingping, Chen Binghan, and others were gathered together.

This was Tang Fei's assembled team, and it was already quite impressive.

Combining land, sea, air, and the Barbarian Clan, the total force exceeded 350,000.

In addition, with the Qin Family stationed forces far in the Zhao Ling region and the Mechanical City of the Lu Clan in the Barren Land...

Even the Empire Military God Shen Wuxiang has to weigh his strength, considering if he has the capability to eliminate them all in one go.

Of course, this is also the root cause of Shen Wuxiang's desperate situation.

The more they suppress the bandits, the more numerous they become. Continuing this path, they'll practically become Regular Army...

"Greetings, Lord, and greetings to the Princess."

Everyone rose to salute.

Previously, before Tang Fei established his own faction, he led the entire situation as an 'official of the Princess'.

The battles were fought in the name of restoring orthodoxy and bringing back the 'Zhong Royal Family'.

Now, when the title 'Lord' is called, they have become an independent military group centered around Tang Fei.

Therefore, when addressing, they call 'Lord' first, then 'Princess'.

Even if they succeeded in conquering the world in the future, it would be Tang Fei's world, not Phoenix's or the Zhong Royal Family's.

Phoenix doesn't mind this; she's a girl with a clear mind, and she knows the harshness of political struggles better than anyone.

When Shen Wuxiang bombarded the Phoenix Palace, the Zhong Royal Family actually had already dissolved and perished.

Her father was imprisoned, hoping her two brothers would restore the glory of the Royal Family was unrealistic.

Even she, the Empire Princess, exists dependent on Tang Fei's group.

The senior commanders present, whether it was Qin Jianyi or Shen Qingping, gathered here because of Tang Fei, not because of her, the Empire Princess.

As for Little Fatty and Lu Siyu, it was even more unquestionable.

Tang Fei's most loyal insiders among the insiders.

Therefore, she understands her situation and her role in this team:

Tang Fei's girlfriend is far more valuable than the Empire Princess.

Tang Fei waved his hand and said cheerfully, "We are all old friends here, no need for formalities."

He said no need to be formal, but nobody could truly be informal.

Otherwise, someone might be informal with them.

Standing behind Tang Fei, Bai Wuxin has a stony expression that sends shivers down anyone's spine.

He's the kind who wouldn't blink an eye while killing.

After Tang Fei sat down at the main seat, others followed suit and took their places.

This meeting has only one theme, taking Brocade City." Tang Fei said, "The Beihai Fleet has completed its integration, and other forces have finished their rests. Honestly speaking, we are ready over here."

Similarly, Brocade City is also fully prepared. After we successively captured Red Moon City, Feng City, and Liyu Port, Brocade City has presented itself as besieged by us."

Once it is conquered, three cities and one port can form a straight line. With Dushan and Red Gobi as strategic depths... we will form a north-south confrontation with the traitor Shen Wuxiang."

"Indeed, this way, we can ignite the campfire and hoist the battle flag. Those neutral and hesitant, and originally willing to follow us, will immediately find their place." Xun Pu added.

Achieving such significant accomplishments in such a short time, his heart is very excited.

This proves he gambled on the right side.

"Sky Wolf Army is willing to be the vanguard, willing to serve the Lord." Qin Jianyi was the first to state his position.

"Why is it always Sky Wolf Army? We, the Dushan Army, are fully integrated, and they should try the edge of our Dushan Army." Shen Qingping said somewhat unhappily.

It is precisely when establishing great achievements, and he doesn't want to miss such an excellent opportunity.

In the future, with more people joining, it would be tough for them to lead an army as principal in such engagements.

After all, being a leader requires considering balance issues.

"Beihai Fleet can provide long-range fire support... if needed, land forces can disembark at any time and clear obstacles for the Lord."

Little Fatty was neither contending nor vying, smiling with a simple sincerity, saying: "I follow my big brother's lead."

He neither wants to achieve nor establish merit.

He doesn't even want to be the Barbarian Clan Chief, because he feels he's not barbaric at all.

If possible, he just wants to follow his big brother; whoever harms his big brother, he will hammer down with the Skull Hammer.

Simply decisive, once and for all.

"Leave Brocade City's defense systems to us." Lu Siyu spoke up.

She holds the pivotal role of Director of the Heavenly Mechanism Management Bureau, crucial in the era of interstellar warfare as eyes, ears, speech, and brain, as well as providing attack and demolition missions...

This position is a hundred times more critical than leading an army.

What one army cannot achieve, they can accomplish from thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away.

"We exert all efforts to seize the city, the opponent exhausts all means to defend it. Neither side is willing to yield, then there's only one path: when the narrow meet, the brave win."

Tang Fei stood up, looked around, and deeply bowed: "Thank you all for your hard work, I will head to the battlefield with you. When encountering a strong enemy, I will draw my sword first."

"For the Lord, willing to give our lives!"

Everyone rose to express their position.
