Gale Valley, the Team's First Mission

On the fourth day after Chu Han took over as captain of the Seventeenth Special Operations Team.

The days of peaceful rest at the garrison came to an end, and the legion's orders finally arrived as scheduled.

His identity token trembled faintly, and a concise yet weighty mission notice was imprinted upon it.

"Garrison Gale Valley and stabilize the Human Race's frontline defenses."

The mission appeared utterly ordinary. It was merely a routine frontline deployment, without any perilous ambushes or extermination raids, nor any high-risk reconnaissance behind enemy lines. They only needed to hold their position and contain the Insect Race's offensive.

Chu Han raised a hand and summoned the legion war zone map. With a sweep of his gaze, he instantly located Gale Valley and gained a clear understanding of the mission.

In just a few breaths, all one hundred and thirty-three members had assembled. Their formation was neat, their bearing magnificent.

After Chu Han had established his authority and reorganized them over the past few days, the army's morale had been rebuilt.

This remnant squad, once dispirited and downtrodden, had long since shed its former lethargy. Burning battle intent and longing danced in every pair of eyes.

The shadow of their crushing defeat had weighed on their hearts for far too long. Everyone was holding back a stubborn refusal to yield, desperately wishing to charge onto the battlefield, bathe in blood and slaughter their enemies, and sweep away the gloom and disgrace upon them.

They also wanted the Seventeenth Special Operations Team, silent for so long, to regain its footing
