Not long after, the Commander disappeared from the frontline, replaced by a new Commander. Later on, it was revealed that the former Commander had accepted an astonishing bribe from the enemy, attempting to let the Fine Gold fall into enemy hands to change the course of the war. He had only dispatched the Steel Roses squad, believing that even they would fail under the relentless enemy assaults. However, to his surprise, the Steel Roses safely delivered the Fine Gold back. There were indeed too many contradictions in this journey of escorting the Fine Gold, which is precisely why it aroused the suspicions of the higher-ups.
Eventually, the Commander was removed from his post, and nobody knew where the betrayer had gone.
As the meritorious squad returning with the Fine Gold, the Steel Roses were commended by the new Commander. But this also meant that the Steel Roses would have to participate in even more intense battles.
