The commander of the fourth battalion of the Royal Guard Army of the Luofeng Empire, Yang Ming's nominal superior, Aisi Taluo Star, stood on the bridge of the 004 landing ship, his face pale.
He did not understand why fate was so cruel to him.
He was supposed to be transferred in just a few days!
If everything had gone smoothly, without so many unexpected events, his dazzling deputy commander, Yang Ming, covered in gleaming jewels, would have assumed the role of the fourth battalion commander after completing the promotion ceremony.
In that case, Major Aisi could have gone to an idle department and continued using his rank to fill the void of noble honor.
In such a small country, getting as far as he had was already quite impressive.
But now...
Yang Ming was suddenly assassinated.
The anti-mechanical missile destroyed everything that was supposed to be beautiful!
