After General Williams was promoted to Chief Williams, Hall Williams also completed the procedures for early graduation and officially joined the military to begin his post.
All the personnel of the original First Army were carefully checked, and those who had close contacts with Derek Bridges and Aiden Gladstone were stripped of their military status and expelled from the army, while the remaining people were disbanded and assigned to the garrisons in other star regions.
The former Second Army was promoted to the First Army, commanded by General Lewis Swift. The former Fourth Army was promoted to the Second Army, commanded by General Lewis's son, Scott Swift. The Third Army remained the Third Army. Although General Harrison Isaacs had previously been close to Arnold Percy, their relationship was merely a matter of profit. He had not committed any serious crimes, so Führer Williams did not touch him. As for the Fifth Army, which had originally belonged to Arnold Percy, it was also disbanded and distributed among various garrisons.
With General Williams' support, Hall Williams established a new army, naming it the Fourth Army. With Oakland's approval, Hall introduced basic Qigong techniques as a new training method directly to the military. Not only were the Fourth Army members taught, but the other three armies were also eligible. Hall regularly held short-term special training sessions at military headquarters, attracting countless applicants. He led them through various specialized training sessions, teaching them how to cultivate spiritual energy and enhance their combat effectiveness. As a result, the federal army's combat effectiveness quickly increased significantly.
The new modified mechas also began to spread gradually in the army, and heralds became more and more sought after.
The most famous of the emerging heraldry masters was undoubtedly Oakland Campbell. Like Hall, Oakland had graduated early from the First Federal Military Academy. He then earned his Senior Heraldry certification in just one year. Having inherited the ancient magic runes, he wasn't complacent. He was appointed an honorary instructor at the First Federal Military Academy, attending classes half a day each week. His classes were incredibly popular, requiring online registration a month in advance. Even with the largest classroom at the First Federal Military Academy, it wasn't enough. All 800 seats were packed, with even the back of the room filled with people standing.
Auckland also helps the Heralds Guild to hold heraldry lectures online from time to time, and they are almost always sold out.
Although Hall's Fourth Legion had the smallest number of members, its combat effectiveness was the strongest! They were the first to be equipped with modified mechas and the first to enjoy the elemental emblems crafted by Auckland. The entire legion regarded Hall and Auckland as idols, obeying their orders and admiring them highly.
Soon, the Fourth Army became the most coveted corps for all military academy graduates. Applications flooded the inbox, straining the logistics department. Those who could join the Fourth Army were not only the most talented freshly graduated cadets, but also had to go through layers of intense competition and selection to even gain such an opportunity.
As the strength of the federal army became stronger and stronger, the harm that the Zerg could cause to the federation became less and less, not to mention that after discovering that these bugs had delicious and nutritious "big white eggs" in their stomachs, people almost regarded the bugs that came to attack humans as food delivered to their doorsteps. There were even mercenary groups that began to search the world for bugs to hunt in order to earn large sums of federal currency.
Even the Empire, which had always been unfriendly to the Federation, finally changed its attitude, stopped invading the Federation's territory, and recalled all the nails that had been buried in the Federation.
Owen's health is getting better and better. The problem of genetic defects has gradually improved with the daily nourishment of spiritual energy. I believe that when he successfully builds the foundation and cleanses his essence and marrow, his body will be completely healthy.

A year later, Auckland finally turned eighteen.
Oakland's eighteenth birthday happened to be the day he was giving a lecture at the First Federal Military Academy. Oakland and Hall made an appointment to go to a restaurant together in the evening to celebrate his birthday. All family members, including President Williams, would attend the birthday party.
However, while Oakland was speaking in class, the door suddenly opened. Oakland frowned slightly in displeasure. His class rarely had anyone late, let alone someone who was so late. With only twenty minutes left, he hated being interrupted mid-lecture. He was about to lecture the late student when he froze.
The man who came in was wearing a neat military uniform, and the epaulettes on his shoulders showed that he was a brigadier general. The straight lines of the uniform perfectly highlighted the man's good figure, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, coupled with his recognizable handsome face, made everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
The man stood quietly at the back of the classroom, staring at Auckland standing on the podium with his narrow eyes, making him feel so helpless.
Auckland didn't even remember what he had said in the rest of the class. When the class was over, he watched the man walk up to him with long legs, and then took out a bouquet of beautiful roses from behind.
Roses are an absolute luxury in the Interstellar Federation and are extremely expensive. I don't know which romantic bible Hall learned these pursuit techniques from, but he's quite adept at applying them.
Oakland blushed and lowered his voice, "Why did you come here specially? Isn't it the same at night?"
"Of course not. I don't want to wait any longer." Hall suddenly revealed a dazzling smile. Then, in front of nearly a thousand students, he knelt on one leg and handed the rose to Auckland. "Auckland Campbell, please marry me."
Thousands of years have passed, and the most romantic way of proposing marriage has been preserved, but the high price of roses makes it unaffordable for ordinary people.
Auckland's heart almost melted as he looked at the man kneeling on one knee in front of him and looking up at him with a smile on his face.
He nodded heavily, and then, amid everyone's blessings, accepted the beautiful bouquet of flowers that represented love.
"Let's go! Let's get married!" Hall took Auckland's hand and walked out.
"What?" Auckland was stunned. Is it necessary to be so anxious?
"I said, I don't want to wait any longer." Hall pulled the person out.
As soon as the two walked out of the classroom door, loud applause rang out. Oakland looked up and saw Chris, Diana, and Ignaz, who were also wearing military uniforms, standing at the door and clapping. Dragal, Rachel, Owen, and Joey, the chubby little boy with a fair face, who was being held by his hand, were also standing not far away with smiles on their faces. It was obvious that all this had been arranged by them long ago.
When they left the teaching building, they saw several luxury cars of the same model parked at the door. President Williams and his wife Elaine were sitting in the front one, smiling as they watched their son and future daughter-in-law walking hand in hand.
"Come up quickly, don't just stand there." President Williams said to Auckland with a smile.
News of Hall Williams and Auckland Campbell's upcoming wedding quickly spread across the Star Internet, drawing widespread public attention. Reporters flocked to the federal government's marriage registration center in the capital, eager to capture the couple's wedding registration process.
In today's interstellar world, there are no churches anymore, but the custom of holding weddings still exists. Newlyweds hold their weddings at the government marriage registration center while registering their marriages. Of course, weddings do come with a fee, and it's not cheap.
There are three levels of weddings. The cheapest one is the quick type, which involves a witness, a small festive hall, a couple, giving their testimony, exchanging rings, and the witness stamping their electronic files. That's it, and the whole process takes no more than ten minutes.
The second type is a little more complicated. There is a witness, a slightly more decently decorated hall, and a few relatives and friends accompanying you. After giving the testimony, exchanging rings, and changing your personal electronic file information, it's over.
The third type is the expensive customized type, which involves a largest auditorium that can be decorated according to the preferences of the newlyweds, and then a large number of relatives and friends can be invited to attend.
Hall obviously chose the third option. He was not short of money and directly booked the largest auditorium in the entire Marriage Registration Management Center. He took a group of brothers to decorate the auditorium from inside to outside.
So when Auckland was thronged into the auditorium, he was taken aback by the elaborately decorated space. Numerous devices were set up in the auditorium, using holographic projection to create a dazzling starry sky, giving everyone inside a sense of being there.
Auckland walked slowly, taking in all the beautiful scenery, his ears filled with soft, soothing music. This auditorium must have been booked several days in advance, and the layout must have taken a lot of thought.
Auckland's whole heart was wrapped in sweetness and warmth.
Ever since President Williams took office, both Hall and I had become busier. Although we still saw each other at home, we ultimately spent less time together. If Hall hadn't reminded me this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have remembered his birthday.
Hall has obviously been waiting for this day for a long time, and he looks so cute when he is so impatient.
The witness was wearing a black suit and standing not far away, smiling at them.
Outside the auditorium stood a large crowd of reporters and people who had heard the news and had rushed in to join in the fun. Inside, the auditorium was filled with friends and family of Oakland and Hall, all standing together in joy, witnessing this most sacred moment.
The two walked side by side and came in front of the witness. They smiled at each other, made their vows in front of everyone, exchanged rings, and kissed romantically.
The wedding scene of the two was faithfully recorded by the camera of the reporter. A few years later, when Hall became the new generation of God of War of the Federation and Auckland became the first Herald of the Federation, this romantic wedding between two gods became a wedding of the century worth remembering.
After the wedding, of course, comes the most classic honeymoon trip and wedding night!
President Williams gave the two a long vacation and a luxurious private spaceship, allowing them to have plenty of time to travel around and explore.
Due to the two men's astonishingly high fighting power, General Williams does not need to worry about their safety at all. As long as they don't play too crazy, they will be so happy that they don't want to come back.
