Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

Just as the atmosphere among the three insects had eased a little, a commotion arose outside the clubhouse.

The three insects, who were chatting, suddenly fell silent and listened quietly to the sounds outside.

Jiang Xu frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "It seems that two groups of insects are having a dispute."

Moreover, the argument was quite loud.

The clubhouse is located along a long corridor, and the fact that they could still hear the commotion from so far away shows how serious the situation was.

"Shall we go out and take a look?" Bernd asked the two insects curiously.

Jiang Xu and Zoe exchanged a glance, then tacitly got up and walked outside.

These are special times, what could possibly happen to make those insects so noisy?

Bernd watched the departing insects and complained, "Couldn't you two have waited for me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little bug, which was propping its head up on Jiang Xu's shoulder, making faces at him.

Bernd was speechless.

On the streets, all the tents that had been set up on both sides had been pushed down and dismantled. All the villagers who had fled were now anxiously arguing with the insects dressed in the uniforms of the royal guards.

"No means no." The leader of the female soldiers looked resolutely at the refugees opposite her and said sternly, "Evacuate the capital and retreat to the suburbs, or don't blame us for being impolite."

"Sir, it's not that we don't want to leave, it's that we can't survive if we leave." One of the refugees said helplessly to the female soldier, "We were originally insect people with homes and food. If it weren't for the war, none of us would want to come to the capital."

The eastern outskirts were in complete chaos, and they knew that only by reaching the capital could they survive.

The insects here can survive on just a little food.

Moreover, where is the safest place to fight a war?

It is naturally the capital.

If other insects attack the capital, the country will perish, and even if they die, they can only accept their fate.

They still have a chance to live.

The insect leading the imperial court frowned as he looked at him: "We are just following orders. We cannot resolve your demands."

Among the fleeing insects present, there were many old and many young ones, and some of them couldn't bear to watch.

Soon, an insect appeared next to the female soldier and whispered something in his ear.

In the end, he was met with a cold look from the other party.

"We won't leave! We won't leave!" A weathered voice suddenly called out from behind the refugees, "We will never leave this place."

They've been here for several days and have gotten used to the local routine and environment, so why should they leave?

"Yes, we're not leaving."

As one insect responded, more and more insects joined in, shouting in refusal: "We're not leaving."

Jiang Xu and the others saw this standoff when they left the private insect club.

"Since saying it won't work, don't blame us for resorting to force," the female soldier leading the royal court said sternly to them.

Perhaps because there were too many refugees, they no longer took the dozen or so female soldiers opposite them seriously.

If the refugees on the other side are not afraid of this insect at all.

"What happened?" Jiang Xu glanced at the collapsed tents and asked the insects of the Imperial Court.

A deep, gentle voice suddenly broke in, and the insects that had been facing off were all stunned when they saw the three male insects that came out.

The noise finally stopped.

"Greetings, gentlemen." The leading female soldier bowed to Jiang Xu and the other insects as soon as she saw them.

As an insect of the Imperial Court, he naturally recognized the three of them. He glanced at the refugees present and quickly replied, "The Imperial Court has issued an order that, starting today, all fleeing insects must retreat to the suburbs."

"They won't cooperate, and there's nothing we can do."

Jiang Xu and Zoe exchanged a glance, both seeing an indescribable emotion in each other's eyes, leaving them feeling very uncomfortable.

"Will their food be guaranteed after they go to the suburbs?" Jiang Xu asked.

The refugees seemed surprised that the newly arrived nobles would speak up for them, and they all looked at them in astonishment.

After Jiang Xu asked the question, he was met with a long silence.

Jiang Xu's eyes darkened, and he understood.

The imperial court simply intended to drive these insects out of the capital, regardless of their lives.

He looked at the insects, young and old, and felt a pang of pity.

"I'm sorry," the leading female member of the Imperial Court finally spoke, "we haven't received any definite information on this matter yet."

The Imperial Court's actions were outrageous, but even knowing this, Jiang Xu couldn't stop them.

He stepped aside and stopped talking.

Originally thought to be their savior, the refugee insects were suddenly abandoned and looked at Jiang Xu and the other insects with some hostility.

No one looked this way anymore; they all turned their attention to the female soldiers on the other side and began to resist.

Just then, the female reinforcements arrived.

The advantage of having many refugee bugs vanished instantly, and the shouts were silenced.

The insects from the royal court stopped offering verbal advice and instead brandished their weapons at the insect people opposite them.

"Evacuate completely! No one is allowed to linger in the capital!" the female warrior shouted to the insects opposite her. Then she waved to the insects behind her, and all the female warriors swarmed forward.

The shouts of resistance instantly turned into a hellish wail, and the insects dared not resist any longer.

Looking at the expelled insects, Jiang Xu frowned and asked Zoe with a hint of doubt, "What is the meaning of the Imperial Court doing this?"

"A hypocritical attempt to maintain peace in the capital?"

"Who knows?" Zoe sighed helplessly as well. "But you should know that female insects are worthless to begin with. There's no point in saving old female insects."

As for those insect offspring, they can only accept their bad luck.

In just a few simple sentences, the current situation of the female insect was clearly described.

"Heroic father." This was the first time Jiang Yi had seen such a scene, and the first time he had heard such cruel words from his father.

He tightened his grip on Jiang Xu's neck, then timidly looked at several female insect offspring in the swarm that were about his size and asked, "Why were they driven away?"

"Can't we just stay here? The streets are so wide, why treat them like they've given up?"

The infant insect's innocent and confused voice struck the hearts of the three male insects present with a heavy blow.

Yes, Jiang Xu looked at the little insect in his arms. Why should he accept his fate?

If his offspring were among those expelled insects, how painful would that be for him?

"There's nothing we can do. We can't stop the imperial court's orders," Bernd said to the insect cub, seemingly reassuringly. "Besides, the suburbs are even bigger."

Once they arrive, they can pitch a larger tent, so they won't have to squeeze in like this.

"Really?" Jiang Yi wasn't comforted at all. He looked at the crying insect cubs being driven away and asked, "Then, why are they crying?"

Anything that can make an insect cub cry is obviously not a good thing.

He might not understand other things, but he knew this one.

"Then..." Jiang Xu paused for a few seconds, then looked earnestly into Jiang Yi's eyes and asked, "Do you want to help them?"
