Hesla and Stardragon were located on the same continent. Perhaps it was because Hesla's climate was hotter, but Hesla's culture was more open. Many beautiful women and men in bikinis could be seen walking around the beach.
The train stopped at a military station. Looking out of the window, there was only a middle-aged man wearing a colorful shirt and sunglasses on the platform. It seemed like he was there to pick them up.
Han Xiao got off the train with the rest of the team. Qi Bai Jia walked in front and said to the middle-aged man in sunglasses, "Stardragon Division 13, Qi Bai Jia."
The uncle in sunglasses chuckled and took off his sunglasses, revealing a dispirited face full of stubble. His entire aura was so ordinary that it was a mess. He was like a salted fish uncle waiting for customers in a small shop on the side of the street.
"Hesla Military Intelligence, Ye Fan."
Han Xiao almost choked on his saliva.
Ye Fan?
Which Ye Fan are you?
What happened to you?
Where is your arrogance? Where is your arrogance?
This doesn't match any of the Ye Fan in my memory!
Ye Fan looked at the train that was full of holes and asked, "Did you encounter a beast?"
"It's just a small black worm. It's nothing to worry about."
Qi Bai Jia coughed. Although the situation was dangerous, he could not lose his cool in front of the Hesla people. He had to appear calm and collected. This was politically correct.
"Then you are lucky to have arrived safely." Ye Fan laughed and did not ask if Qi Bai Jia was telling the truth.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Fan put on his sunglasses again and said, "Let's not waste any time. We will report to the commanding officer first before we depart. Don't think it's troublesome. Compared to Maple, we have saved at least 90% of the procedures."
Some of the field personnel laughed. Maple's rigid system had always been a joke. It was said that the Shanus had worked together with Maple to eliminate a rogue warlord. Before the operation started, the Shanus, who were known for their impatience, were driven mad by Maple's complicated reporting procedures. They almost got into a fight with Maple's officers at the headquarters of Maple's intelligence agency in Caroma.
The reporting procedure for a joint operation was for both parties to leave a mission report at the commanding officer's office before starting the operation.
For this mission, Hesla's army was in charge of the assault while the agents were in charge of infiltration and reconnaissance. They were also in charge of finding out the exact location of the Dark Crow Valley base and the distribution of the armed forces.
Along the way, they could see brand-new military bulletproof off-road vehicles and small tanks parked in the garage. There were also missile vehicles equipped with honeycomb launchers, and groups of soldiers carrying ammunition and supplies.
Zhang Wei, Di Su Su, Ma Qing Yang, and the rest of the Stardragon agents had become quiet. They were completely different from when they were chatting on the train. It was most likely due to their national pride. Seeing this, Han Xiao did not want to do anything out of line, so he could only mingle with the team.
The commander, Colonel Carl, was a stern-looking Caucasian officer in his prime. He was observing the strategic map on the wall with his hands behind his back. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he thought it was his adjutant. Without turning his head, he shouted, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm thinking?"
Ye Fan coughed. "Colonel, the Stardragon agents are here to file a report."
When Carl saw that it was Ye Fan, his expression eased up. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Stardragon agents. His gaze was cold and indifferent. He snorted and opened the drawer. He took out a document and stamped it. "Take them to rest for a while. They will depart with our people in an hour."
Carl's attitude towards the Division 13 agents was cold and indifferent. Ye Fan brought them to a simple lounge and said, "Don't wander around. We will depart in a while."
After Ye Fan left, only the Stardragon agents were left in the lounge. Lin Yao finally dared to speak. He whispered, "Why do I feel that the soldiers outside are looking at us strangely? It's as if they are ostracizing us. Also, the commander seems to be hostile towards us."
"Don't you know?" Ma Qing Yang sneered. "Stardragon had a war with Hesla in the past. Hesla's people are not friendly to us. Even the agents who go to other countries for joint operations have to suffer such treatment. Carl doesn't look like a moderate."
Division 13's factional rivalry was not an exception. It was a situation that existed in almost every country. Maple and Ordina were more conservative, Raylan and Theseus were more aggressive, and Stardragon and Hesla were more balanced.
"Then why does the bureau still want to work with Hesla?" Lin Yao asked in disbelief. "What if Hesla uses us as cannon fodder?"
"Who knows what the higher-ups are thinking? You just have to be careful."
Ma Qing Yang did not care. As a veteran of the Covert Operations Department, he was used to such situations.
Qi Bai Jia coughed and explained, "Don't worry. You have to get my approval before you can be deployed."
After chatting for a while, everyone quietened down and closed their eyes to rest. They were preparing themselves for the mission.
"I'm going out for a smoke."
Han Xiao got up and walked to the door of the lounge. He lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. The smoke passed through his throat and circled around his lungs. Then, he exhaled two thick streams of smoke from his nostrils. He felt relaxed.

Han Xiao had thought that this operation would be a normal mission. He did not expect it to be a Faction Mission. This was even better. He had more room to maneuver.
There were many types of missions. Competitive missions, prize-pool missions, series missions, and Faction Missions. As long as the majority of the targets were completed, the rewards would definitely be good.
Han Xiao was smoking when a woman with short red hair walked towards him. She stopped in front of him and asked with uncertainty, "Are you from Stardragon?"
Han Xiao looked at her and nodded. "I guess so."
