The Miryua Combat Battalion was in fact a mobile infantry unit, primarily composed of infantrymen clad in Powered Individual Armor, supported by several types of vehicles. This time, the battalion was airlifted by three Y-20VTOL transport aircraft, with 10 Black Panther Armed Machines providing firepower cover and serving as the assault force.

All the senior officers and soldiers of platoon rank or higher in this unit were bionic humans, and Princess Ailuwei, who had worked very hard in the training camp, was the only Miryuan who had passed the vehicle driving test—even the knights of Miryua were not as outstanding as Her Royal Highness.

Princess Ailuwei was intent on bombing Shangduohan Palace to kill the King and his royal family, avenging her perished Miryua Family. After her Black Panther Armed Machine broke the sound barrier, it immediately broke away from the original aerial formation of the combat battalion and surged forward, becoming the only manned machine that flew over the Royal Capital.

The moment she broke from formation, Xiao Yu, far away on a stratospheric aerospace destroyer a few hundred kilometers distant, received the news.

The screen also displayed the specific information of the pilot who had left formation on her own, including the stunning photo of Her Royal Highness.

Upon seeing it, Xiao Yu actually laughed and said to Fang Han, "This is the first mistake that has occurred in our battle."

Fang Han, for whom the matter was of little personal concern, did not feel too strongly about it. He had been rather surprised when he first saw the "native army" made up of a group of Miryuans at the training camp. Now, as expected, trouble had arisen.

Fang Han thought to himself, "The discipline of my army is clearly something the natives of Emerald Sea Star cannot compare with, but it's also not right to mock them. If a similar error occurred with any rank-and-file unit during this war, disobeying senior orders and acting on their own, that would be hugely embarrassing.

Previous wars valued the initiative of frontline soldiers, but now obedience is emphasized even more."

Praying silently that his own troops would perform well, Fang Han then asked, "Shall we disable the functions of this vehicle?"

Xiao Yu watched the situation as the armed helicopter fired dozens of sophisticated missiles within seconds and the autocannon shot hundreds of projectiles, and said, "Of course, it must be pulled back."

This was also a feature of the Iridium Star military command system, designed for situations like this. If any military unit acted contrary to the commander's expectations, the commander could forcibly deprive the pilot/soldier of their control over the equipment, ordering the AI system to take over control, either to fight according to the commander's wishes or to withdraw.

This feature was actually at the core of any Iridium Star technology creation, with the highest authority being Bai Zhongqi's Supreme Command. In wartime, it could be authorized to commanders, giving them control over all units within the chain of command. After the war ended, the authority would automatically cease.

The higher authority of wartime commanders reverted to Iridium Star's military administrative body, the Privy Council. Above the Privy Council was Bai Zhongqi himself.

After the Star Alliance was established and a great deal of technological aid was given to Country C, all creations produced by Country C using Iridium Star technology, like those infected by a virus, came equipped with the feature of Supreme Command authority.

Naturally, Bai Zhongqi would not inform the people of Country C about this, and indeed Bai Zhongqi himself could not separate this core program from Iridium Star creations.

Ailuwei was almost blind with rage, operating her armed machine to drop a vast amount of ammunition, leaving a trail of infernos wherever she passed. The jovial faces of her father and brother appeared before her eyes, soon replaced by the sight of her homeland Ekuia weeping in the flames of war, countless refugees displaced and pitiful sights of starvation all around.

Today, she could finally take her revenge!

At that moment, Princess Ailuwei's perfect face was entirely distorted by madness, her eyes alight with dangerous and vicious fire, resembling nothing of the gentle disposition expected of a woman.

"Die, all of you!" Ailuwei screamed hoarsely.

She furiously pressed the autocannon button on the joystick. Under the force of electromagnetic propulsion, a barrage of shellfire was woven across the sky, enveloping the Royal Palace below.

The immense power of the electromagnetic cannon round could tear apart a human body, let alone easily shatter a building. In less than ten seconds, Ailuwei had turned the entire royal palace to ruins.

"Where are you, despicable King Shangduohan? I will make you pay for my brother's life! I'm going to blow you into minced meat!" Ailuwei entered a strange and terrifying state, yet still managed to skillfully operate the armed machine, searching for figures on the ground through the scouting device.

In the collapsing royal palace, it seemed some people were escaping from the inside. Ailuwei's search lens immediately zoomed in, finding King Shangduohan, who was surrounded by layers of guards.

"Criminal! Here! Die!" She almost exerted all her strength and pressed the button on the control stick.

However, the autocannon did not fire.

"What's going on, why won't it obey?" Ailuwei frantically pressed the control stick, but whether it was buttons or levers, the armed machine simply wouldn't respond to her commands.

A line appeared on the HUD helmet: "Your control authority has been revoked by the commander, this unit will automatically return."

Enraged, Ailuwei hammered the cockpit equipment, screaming wildly, "Give me back the authority, give it back to me! I want to kill that criminal, I want to avenge the Miruya family!"

Above the royal palace, enveloped in rising smoke and flames, the tormenting armed machine halted its attack.

Ailuwei's temper continued to flare as she tried to stop the armed machine from returning. At that moment, a fire dragon suddenly condensed above the burning royal palace, roaring down and striking Ailuwei's piloted armed machine.

Ailuwei inside the cockpit was jolted. The crazed look on her face slightly receded, and her pretty face began to turn pale.

"Fire Element Mage!" Ailuwei had naturally heard of Shangduohan's Court Magician, a supremely skilled Fire Element Mage, whose mastery of the Fire Dragon Technique was fantastical, capable of annihilating an army of hundreds.

After all, she had only been exposed to Iridium Star technology for two months, while she had been immersed in the power of mages for over twenty years. When the madness subsided, having lost control of the armed machine and under attack by a powerful mage, fear crept into Ailuwei.

At this moment, she remembered she had companions and urgently called out in the channel, "Warriors of Miruya, come save me! Anyone, please come save me... "

She wanted to call out again, but realized that her communication channel had been cut long ago. The Bionic Human battalion commander leading Miruya's combat battalion would never allow his soldiers to disobey orders and run off to save this troublesome princess.

After cutting off her communication, the battalion commander even said to his subordinates, "Anyone who violates military discipline does not need a military tribunal; I will send them to their death now."

Commander Xiao Yu in the command center heard all this, and he sneered derisively, feeling nothing but disdain for this beautiful but foolish princess.

Simply by virtue of a Fire Element Mage's Fire Dragon Technique, it was impossible to breach the defense of the Black Panther Armed Machine, yet Ailuwei was already in utter disarray.

"To the Star Warrior Special Combat Team, go capture those Star Warriors of Shangduohan, and pick up that idiot woman as well," he ordered.
