Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Ji Ting brought Bai Lu directly to the Yunqi Army.

"Sigh, Father never brings me here, that's not right."

Ji Ting's expression turned serious, and he said with displeasure:

"Chengxiao is too traditional and feudal. You're already one year old and understand things. You should be exposed to these things earlier so you can grow up!"

"Really?"

Ji Ting gave a smug snort:

"He's a Vidyadhara and I'm a Vidyadhara? What a load of bull! Has he ever cultivated a Vidyadhara? This is called innate precocity. This is reincarnation. Even if you were a Vidyadhara, you wouldn't be able to cultivate one!"

He just watched how I took care of the child, and that was it.

Bai Lu looked doubtful, after all, even her own mother, Dan Feng, hadn't done that.

Oh well, I've been curious about going to the Cloud Cavalry camp for a while now, anyway.

However, Bai Lu's playful mood quickly vanished.

Yao Qing's Cloud Cavalry was well-prepared and displayed their martial prowess; even their regular training was almost like real combat.

Especially the Qingqiu Guards, composed of fox-people, fought each other with real guns and bullets!

Blood and fire intertwined.

"Everyone... they're really pushing themselves too hard."

"If we don't train harder now, we'll face more death on the battlefield. The enemy's henchmen won't stop just like they would with our own people."

"Little White Dew, you are talented, and you live surrounded by happiness and love, but you must also be aware that the world is always chaotic, and you must face and understand this."

Bai Lu clenched her little hands tightly, showing both fear and determination.

Ji Ting ultimately couldn't bear to take Bai Lu to the front lines, after all, the front lines were no joke.

So Ji Ting took out the footage he had saved during the war.

For her, scenes of blood and flesh flying everywhere were nothing new, but for Bai Lu, they were somewhat nauseating.

This is different from her father fighting insects. At least in Bailu's heart, her father is the strongest, and Bailu even associates him with a hero fighting monsters.

However, the real, bloody battlefield is a battle between sentient beings.

"Little White Dew, if you can't stand it, we won't watch it."

"No, I want to see! Fourth Aunt, don't underestimate us!"

Bai Lu knew that history books recorded many famous wars, but the casualties were only mentioned briefly in the documents.

Phrases like "less than one in ten" and "half completely destroyed" already sound terrifying.

But when she actually saw the true scene of the battlefield, the word "tragic" was truly etched into Bai Lu's heart.

The words in those historical records suddenly transformed from simple text into vivid and grotesque images.

Bailu dislikes fighting, let alone killing.

But she knew that the struggle was for peace, and the fighting was to stop the invasion.

What contribution can she make in this?

Her talent lies in practicing medicine and treating illnesses.

She wanted to become a dragon maiden carrying medicine, healing the sick and saving lives, and reducing casualties.

......

Yaoqing Frontline.

"Why are there so many bugs!"

The Cloud Cavalry looked up at the sky, where swarms of insects, like dark clouds, churned in the air.

But instead of attacking the soldiers, they all flew towards Yaoqing's location.

"Damn it! The swarm's target is Yaoqing!"

The Cloud Cavalry began their attack, but with little effect; the weapons meant to punish the bountiful creatures proved somewhat ineffective against the insects.

At this very moment, the wicked creatures naturally wouldn't let go of this golden opportunity.

People burst into laughter as he walked away.

"Hahaha! Heaven is on our side! You Yaoqing are cursed by the heavens, even mindless insects are targeting you. Once we've captured enough bargaining chips, we'll use them to rescue the War Chief!"

Not long after the words were spoken, the swarm of insects that had been flying toward Yaoqing paused, and then became restless.

The next moment, the swarm of insects turned around and attacked Bu Liren.

"What's going on?!"

The Buli people are a bountiful race that dominates countless star systems, yet their power is somewhat lacking when facing the Zerg swarm.

The healed flesh and blood would only become food for the insect swarm to grow and reproduce, and the overwhelming insects almost crushed and devoured the Bu Li people's territory.

The Yunqi Army soldiers swallowed hard, watching the scene resembling a locust plague.

"Everyone, listen up! Hold the line! We absolutely cannot let these insects get to Yaoqing!"

The Cloud Cavalry were already prepared to die, but the swarm of insects did not attack them and flew away in an unknown direction.

"...You just left like that?"

"Do not let your guard down. The entire army should retreat and await any unforeseen events."

However, the Cloud Riders waited for a long time but the swarm of insects did not reappear, which puzzled them.

The guard in charge quickly submitted a battle report and then continued to observe the situation in the vicinity.

However, they abandoned the attack, and it seems that today's battle cannot continue.

The Moon Guardian, who was praising Cheng Xiao's contributions within the Yaoqing Palace, received the battle report immediately.

She frowned when she saw the swarm crisis.

"That's impossible. Why would these bred insects swarm out of their nests? Didn't the Tabushi observe anything?"

Upon hearing about the swarm of insects, Cheng Xiao quickly inquired:

"A swarm of Zerg has appeared on the front lines of Yaoqing?"

"Yes, but the swarm only attacked the monsters; the Cloud Riders were lucky and escaped unharmed."

No bad news, Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yao Qing is implicated as a result, Cheng Xiao really doesn't know how to compensate him.

"General Yueyu, please attend to the important matters at the front. I'll take my leave now."

"You can't leave."

"Is there anything else, General?"

"You have to stay and help me. Can you really bear to see me worrying all by myself?"

"General, I cannot interfere in military and political matters."

"I agree!"

However, Cheng Xiao did not reply and turned to leave.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Yue Yu chased after him.

"Cheng Xiao! Are you really going to be so heartless? Don't you remember anything from the past?!"

"The past? You dare mention the past?!"

(Moonlight: "Cheng Xiao, the gentle and handsome fox welcomes you~")

(Yuki: "Chengxiao! Take my fox-style grand seat!")

(Yue Yu: "Hehehe~ Cheng Xiao, you don't want Bai Heng to be bewitched by us, do you~")

Every time Cheng Xiao recalls something, a vein pops out on his forehead.

Yueyu seemed to know that there weren't any happy memories, and awkwardly scratched her cheek.

"No matter what, we've already had a very close relationship. Don't you have any feelings for me at all? Say something, Cheng Xiao!"

"I have nothing more to say, please let me go immediately."

The noise from Yueyu attracted a lot of onlookers on the street.

Cheng Xiao cupped his hands in greeting and left without looking back.

Tsukimi: "No!!!"

Passerby A: "Mr. Cheng Xiao and General Yue Yu are truly a pair of star-crossed lovers~"

Passerby B: "Where does this misery lie?"

Passerby C: "Where are the mandarin ducks?"

They escaped even faster in the car.

I really don't want to die in this company again!

At that very moment, Yu Zhao sent a message; the contact person was Hei Ta.

【Black Tower】：oi, Cheng Xiao, Ruan Mei's research has made progress.

【Cheng Xiao】: Really? That's great!

[Black Tower]: But, Ruan Mei wants to see Bai Lu.
