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

Jiang Xu was thinking about whether he should go to the military camp to check on such a nice day.

During this period, the female insects' daily reports were more accurate than his timer.

But—at this point.

In a daze, Jiang Xu heard the sound of a horn coming from afar, somewhat indistinct.

"Did you hear anything?" He paused for a moment, then turned to ask Neil across from him.

"What was that sound?" Neil's attention had been completely focused on Jiang Xu, and he hadn't noticed anything else.

Then another urgent bugle call sounded.

The bugle call today seemed different from usual, carrying a light and cheerful feel.

"That horn sound—?" Neil suddenly stood up from the recliner, this time hearing it clearly.

"Yes." Jiang Xu looked at Neil, whose reaction was even stronger than his own, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

A look of surprise flashed across Neil's face: "This is... the sound of victory."

Jiang Xu was taken aback: "You won?"

He got up and looked towards the battlefield. Not long after, the intermittent sounds of insects could be heard coming from the street ahead. The long-silent street became lively again.

"You won???"

The sound of voices outside soon drifted over.

It's not hard to hear the elation and joy in the insects' voices.

All the insects thought that this battle was bound to be lost, or at least that the current situation could keep the stalemate going for a while longer.

After all, the era of female soldiers being able to serve as soldiers for all has not yet arrived.

The front lines are currently in a stalemate, which is still in the first phase.

Hearing the commotion outside, Neil turned to look at Jiang Xu, then quickly walked out, a rare smile on his face.

He watched as the insect people emerged from their homes one after another, and murmured with emotion, "We finally won a battle. This war almost drove the insects crazy."

Jiang Xu's gaze fell on Jiang Yi in the courtyard. He seemed to remember something and quickly walked over: "You stay here and play with Tong En. I'm going to check on the military camp."

Jiang Yi nodded obediently, still clutching half a yellow leaf in his hand: "Father, come back soon, and I'll put together the little spaceship for you to see."

With Tong En by his side, the little male insect seemed to have been completely captivated. But that was fine too, as it would make things easier for Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu responded and quickly piloted the aircraft towards the military camp.

The military camp was reached in no time, and Jiang Xu looked at the female soldiers with a rare, genuine smile on his face.

Most of the insects in the military camp knew Jiang Xu, so no insects gave him any trouble.

Fei didn't find him; instead, he found Wenxi.

The other party was clearly taken aback when he saw him, but knowing his purpose, they directly explained the current situation to him.

They then discussed the sudden reversal of the situation on the battlefield.

"Those beasts are strange." Wenxi spoke quickly, his voice tinged with a hint of satisfaction. "After fighting for so long, we've had a hard time breaking through their defenses."

For some reason, some of the beasts seemed to have lost control, and their previously orderly formation fell into chaos, which gave us the opportunity to launch a successful counterattack.

Jiang Xu frowned: "The beast has lost control of its emotions?"

"Yes." Wenxi said, his face full of schadenfreude. "These beasts have all been modified. They were well controlled by the Western Army before, but I don't know why they suddenly went crazy."

The situation reversed instantly; we were on the defensive initially, but now they were the ones getting beaten.

At this point, Wen west couldn't help but chuckle a few times, a coldness she'd never shown before in her eyes: "Excellent!"

Those female soldiers will soon be able to rest in peace after last year's western campaign.

Jiang Xu glanced toward the battlefield and could faintly hear the roars of strange beasts and the booming of guns and cannons.

He asked, "Where is Fei? Where is he now?"

"The major general is at the front lines." Wenxi's smile faded. "They are currently clearing the battlefield."

Jiang Xu didn't ask any more questions. Since they were already cleaning up the battlefield, the female insect's return shouldn't be far off.

The smell of gunpowder around him was much stronger than the last time he came. He followed his memory and walked to Fei's tent. He leaned against the door and looked inside. The tent was exactly the same as when he last came. Nothing had changed.

Every now and then, female soldiers would be cleared out from the front lines and carried to the military medical station. Seeing this, Jiang Xu felt very uncomfortable.

As evening approached, the roar of the battlefield gradually subsided.

Before long, a female soldier ran back excitedly with the news: "Good news! Good news! We've also captured the female commander of the Western Army!"

Jiang Xu felt a sense of relief and quickly moved from the front of the house to an open space, grabbing the scurrying insect: "Where's Fei? Has he returned?"

"The major general is handling the follow-up matters and will be back soon," the female soldier who delivered the message said with a smile. "Lord Jiang Xu, please wait a little longer."

At this time, female soldiers had no rank or gender distinction.

There was only joy at the hard-won victory in this battle.

Jiang Xu nodded, finally able to relax.

Not long after, Fei returned with a group of female soldiers. He was covered in dust and looked exhausted, but when he saw Jiang Xu, he was clearly stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

As if most of the fatigue from the battlefield had dissipated, he felt refreshed and strode towards Jiang Xu.

"My lord, what brings you here?"

"Come and see what's going on when you hear the bugle call." Jiang Xu glanced at the dirt on Fei's clothes, then patted him on the shoulder: "You won?"

"We won." Fei's eyes were full of joy after the victory. "The situation is under good control now. We have captured the commander of the Western Army and are about to interrogate him."

Jiang Xu knew this was important, so he didn't bother him any further: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you in the tent."

"Um."

Fei quickly followed the other female soldiers to the interrogation tent. The interrogation revealed a shocking secret.

In the middle of the night, Fei Cai returned to his tent, exhausted and with a heavy expression on his face. He looked at Jiang Xu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him, and hesitated at the door for a long time.

"Aren't you coming in?" Jiang Xu had already heard the female insect's footsteps, but she stopped at the tent entrance and didn't move an inch.

He wanted to see how long the female insect planned to stand there, but as time passed, she finally spoke first.

Fei pursed his lips and stepped into the tent: "My Lord."

Jiang Xu glanced at him and noticed that the joy in the other's eyes had faded, replaced by hesitation and confusion. He asked, "What's wrong?"

"Something's happened." Fei slowly walked up to Jiang Xu, looked at his puzzled expression, and explained, "We got some information out of that female Western Army soldier, and it's related to the Jiang family."

"The Jiang family?" Jiang Xu was taken aback. "The Jiang family of the south?"

After getting involved in the Jiang family's business for some time, he had a pretty good understanding of his own business.

Although the Jiang family's businesses span multiple industries, all of them appear to be legal and compliant at present.

"They didn't say it explicitly, only that it might be related to the Jiang family." Fei bit her lower lip nervously. "Now General Lan has asked me to recuse myself. My identity is special, and it's not appropriate for me to participate in the interrogation of that female soldier."

Jiang Xu's eyes darkened.

He wasn't entirely clear about the inside story of the Jiang family in the south, but based on his brief contact with Jiang Jin and the others, those insects didn't seem like the type to do such a thing.

Moreover, this strange beast in the east was handed over by Jiang Bian.

Could the other party be hiding something so well?

During these past few days, my colleague hasn't revealed a single clue?

perhaps--

Jiang Xu's mind flashed with images of Jiang Baiyang and Jiang Baiyou.
