The battle at Gold-digging Dock saw the death of the seventh-tier Legion Commander, the red-haired Ron of the Venomous Bee Vanguard Legion, causing a great shock to the morale of the Lionheart Legion.
At the same time, the "Surrender faction" within the Federation also suffered a heavy blow.
Although most of those who colluded with the enemy to infiltrate Gold-digging Dock committed suicide after their plot was uncovered, a few were eventually caught alive.
Moreover, the White Family used Secret Skills to extract a wealth of information from Ron's corpse.
When the two sources of information confirmed each other, it was discovered that the Capen Family, one of the five great Senators, was the traitor, and some smaller families were also implicated.
No one had expected that Harold Capen, a top Federal elite, would surrender before the war even began.
He had even offered up defense plans and most of the city-state maps of the Federation to the enemy.
