Maggie of the Black Banner Army is famously arrogant and cold.

Her distinct silver-white hair, thin lips forming a rebellious arc, and high nose always make people feel she's beyond reach.

Such a Maggie, however, is hailed as a human genius in command akin to the Duke of Southern Road, gradually showing tendencies to surpass Li Li Yang of the Iron Armor Army.

No matter in front of which army, anyone would be convinced by her impeccable command artistry and genius-like creativity.

Maggie's arrogance is justified.

In terms of background or personal ability, there is no peer among her age in the Human Federation.

She is like a Lone Peak Summit, towering and unmatched.

In her field of vision, there is no peak alongside her.

Yet, this goddess revered by millions, was the first to bow respectfully to Yang Fei.

If not seen with her own eyes, Laura wouldn't have believed it.

Laura would not know that Yang Fei, along with the Blue Danube Team, had rescued the Duke of Southern Road and Maggie in the Trial Ground.

This incident was ordered to be kept secret by the Duke of Southern Road.

In the entire Sai Enshi Academy, only the Blue Danube Team along with Dean Giles and Sam knew about it.

Maggie is someone who cherishes gratitude.

In her mind, Yang Fei not only saved her but also saved her father, the Duke of Southern Road.

To the Nandao Family, he is practically a savior.

However, for the sake of secrecy, neither Maggie nor Yang Fei can say anything about it.

Maggie could only bow to Yang Fei with great respect.

Maggie stepped forward, personally leading Yang Fei to the Central Army Tent.

On the table in the Central Army Tent was a military order, personally signed by the president.

The contents of the order were simple: Mr. Harlin is in danger, Captain Guo Jing of the Black Banner Army is to immediately lead a team for rescue.

Below the order was the president's signature, the highest seal of the Human Federation Government, and also the president's personal seal.

From every perspective, this order had reached the highest level.

Yang Fei found it incredible.

His reputation was so widespread that even the president of the Federation knew of him?

Maggie waved her hand, ordering other senior officers of the Black Banner Army to leave, even dismissing the guards by her side.

She brewed a cup of tea for Yang Fei and Laura, and the three sat down together casually like good friends.

This was the type of conversation Yang Fei liked.

He loathed cold orders and actions without any reason.

After Yang Fei finished reading the presidential order, Maggie spoke softly.

"Sir, after reading this presidential order, what are your thoughts?"

Yang Fei let out a bitter laugh.

"What thoughts can I have, a soldier's duty is to obey orders."

"Since the president has named me, I will lead the team this time, sparing you any trouble."

Gratitude appeared on Maggie's face. Someone like Yang Fei couldn't be forced into action by a mere presidential order.

The main reason Yang Fei was willing to comply was to avoid causing problems for Maggie and the Duke of Southern Road.

Maggie shook her head lightly, her voice firm yet soft.

"No, if sir is unwilling, I can send someone else anytime."

"In the field, a general doesn't always have to follow orders, even a president should understand that."

Yang Fei chuckled, shaking his head.

"There's no need to argue, this is probably not the president's command, but Harlin's request when he sought help from the president."

At this point, his smile became more meaningful.

"If that's the case, I really want to know what remedy Harlin has in his gourd?"

Maggie's expression showed slight astonishment.

"How did I not think of that, it may have been Harlin's suggestion."

"Perhaps in Harlin's mind, only you can save him."

Yang Fei smiled, "I hope so."

Maggie didn't dare to treat Yang Fei as a subordinate, but Yang Fei didn't want to trouble Maggie and the Duke of Southern Road, so he voluntarily accepted the mission.

After their discussion, Maggie decided that the Blue Danube Team would accompany Yang Fei for the rescue mission.

Additionally, Maggie dispatched a Special Operations Battalion, personally led by Laura, to follow Yang Fei's orders and join the rescue.

Yang Fei accepted Maggie's goodwill, but citing the injury of a member in the Blue Danube Team, he refused their accompaniment for restorative purposes.

Maggie was a bit shocked, but he respected Yang Fei's decision and did not insist further.

After leaving Maggie's camp, Laura looked at Yang Fei with some reproach.

"Why did you refuse Maggie's offer? With the Blue Danube Team, at least your safety would be somewhat assured."

Yang Fei shook his head, his tone becoming very grave.

"I can sense this mission is extremely dangerous, the better the friends, the more I can't risk involving them."

Laura became anxious immediately.

"How do you know? If you're sure, I'll report back to Maggie to retract the order."

Yang Fei shook his head.

"It's just my intuition, no evidence, so don't worry too much."

Yang Fei, in a relaxed tone, conveyed his concerns to Laura.

In truth, the warnings from Turtle Extreme within Yang Fei never failed.

With speed being essential, half an hour later, Yang Fei led the Black Banner Army's Tiger Corps on a fast march toward Wheat Creek Canyon.

The captain of the Tiger Corps, Xiang Zuo, was a thick-browed, large-eyed bloke.

He was a typical Asian, with yellow skin and black eyes that felt familiar to Yang Fei.

However, Xiang Zuo showed little interest in Yang Fei and Laura.

In the military, the strong are respected, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see what abilities this chubby guy and a woman had!

Military orders in the Black Banner Army were strict, and Xiang Zuo dared not defy Maggie's command.

However, in his words, there was an undertone of disdain for these parachuted leaders.

Yang Fei lazily ignored Xiang Zuo's slight, but Laura did not have the same tolerance and glared at Xiang Zuo.

Yet, Xiang Zuo seemed to ignore Laura's glares.

In Xiang Zuo's view, going to battle was a man's job.

Bringing a woman along, with her delays, was not conducive to fighting.

Moreover, her good looks could easily demoralize the troops.

Xiang Zuo grumbled in his heart, he was an old hand in the military.

While he was dissatisfied with Maggie's arrangement and looked down on Yang Fei and Laura, outwardly he remained courteous and respectful.

Laura was left unable to vent her frustration, having to swallow her anger.

By 2:30 PM, they reached Wheat Creek Canyon.

This place had evidently experienced a fierce encounter.

The ground looked as if it had been plowed many times, filled with the heavy scent of gunpowder.
