Bengtie, I'm really not a villain!

Even officers of similar rank cannot withstand your sharpness; in the eyes of the swarm, you are equivalent to an overwhelming pheromone monster.

Your overwhelming masculine aura intimidated the Zerg swarm, with many lower-level Zerg even self-destructing to avoid hindering their advance.

Only the elite of the swarm can truly come before you.

[Among the Imperial army in Grammer, only you and your troops have witnessed the elite of the Zerg.]

The remaining soldiers of the army were all routed by the lowest-level Zerg swarm, without even the Zerg elites needing to intervene.

[It is precisely because you have witnessed the elite of the Zerg swarm that you, whom the Grammer Empire regards as its hope, are faced with utter darkness.]

Even if those low-level Zerg are intimidated by your Conqueror's Haki, they will immediately self-destruct to avoid hindering the main force. This extreme self-sacrifice is something that human fleets cannot withstand.

Even if a low-level Zerg self-destructs, only the Zerg elite will appear before you, and the power you witness will still be exceptionally strong.

Compared to low-level Zerg that only engage in mindless melee attacks, elite Zerg possess either high-speed flight capabilities and ranged attacks with corrosive armor, or have a tougher outer shell and a larger size than a fleet.

[Or perhaps they are special Zerg that can charge at supersonic speeds and suddenly self-destruct; each one is practically a missile.]

These are Zerg creatures that other fleets have never seen before, and they're a huge headache for you.

[Based on your estimates, even if the entire Grammer Empire fleet were assembled right now, it still wouldn't be able to defeat the Zerg.]

Therefore, you proposed to the Grammer Empire to immediately activate the Grammer Cavalry Project.

However, your opinion was considered by the Empire, especially by the [Ruling Council], to be a disturbance to the morale of the army.

The Grammer Empire fleet believes you are undermining the once-unstoppable Empire and does not agree with your opinion.

[Because the Grammer cavalry plan has still not been truly implemented on the battlefield.]

Although the existence of the Grammer Iron Cavalry is a semi-open secret within the Grammer Empire fleet, and a source of pride and a goal for many warriors, it remains unstable and difficult to truly utilize.

Most importantly, the ruling council believed that this destabilizing factor would cause the Grammer cavalry to lose their loyalty to the Empress, leading to problems with the Grammer Empire's regime.

Even in the face of imminent disaster, the ruling council still refuses to budge and allow the Grammer cavalry to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy.

No matter how much you emphasize the Zerg's strength, the [Governing Council] will still simply reject your opinions.

Even if you are the most renowned and powerful figure in the Grammer Empire's fleet, even if you join forces with other generals to make this request...

The ruling council even threatened you, saying that if you dared to mention the Grammer cavalry plan again, you would be branded a traitor and executed.

You finally realize that the [ruling council] is nothing but a bunch of cowardly, timid, and clueless traitors.

[A group of politicians, facing imminent national crisis and death, are still thinking about seizing power—this infuriates you.]

To ensure your own and Firefly's survival, you disregard the opinions of the [Ruling Council].

With your formidable strength and prestige, you, along with numerous generals, independently launched Project Grammer.

Although the [Ruling Council] wields considerable influence over the Grammer Empire's fleet, with the nation in peril, many generals who have fought their way through battle understand that further indecisiveness is no longer an option.

Therefore, even if you are just a newly promoted general, many generals are still willing to openly defect with you and confront the [ruling council] directly.

Therefore, you, along with many generals, relying on the connections and power you had accumulated in the past, launched the Grammer Cavalry Plan on the battlefield.

The Grammer Empire fleet could hardly believe that you dared to defy the [Ruling Council's] decision and deploy the Grammer cavalry without authorization, but you still obey your orders.

Your reputation is already at its peak within the Grammer Empire fleet, so even if you defect and betray the [Governing Council], which has always been the most important organization in everyone's hearts, you still have many followers.

Within the Grammer Empire fleet, the slogan "The Empire prospers, King Jingye!" was even being subtly conveyed.

As the Grammer cavalry entered the battlefield, the Zerg's advance was indeed slowed down considerably.

Compared to the previous situation where the Grammer Empire fleet could only flee and retreat, the appearance of the Grammer Iron Cavalry, while still unable to reverse the situation, was able to barely hold off the Zerg's attack.

Compared to the previous situation where their defenses were easily breached by the Zerg's overwhelming socialization, the Grammer Ironclads have done a much better job.

[Instantly, cheers erupted from the Grammer Empire fleet; everyone was celebrating having such a brilliant general as you.]

[It is thanks to your decisiveness and courage in daring to defy the [Ruling Council]'s decision to deploy the Grammer Cavalry that the Grammer Empire's defenses were held.]

The word "disobedience" may not be appropriate now. In the eyes of the world, the real power now should not be held by the [ruling parliament], but by a bunch of cowards who have stolen power.

The true decision-maker should be someone as brave and decisive as Emperor Jingye!

However, despite the immense joy felt by the Grammer Empire's fleet and its people over the battle, you remained frowning.

You are completely unconcerned about the so-called "Emperor Jingye" touted by everyone, because you know that the crisis facing the Grammer Empire is too terrifying.

You lack the ability and responsibility to protect the entire empire; you only want to survive for yourself and Liuying.

At this point, you are still wary of the situation on the Zerg battlefield and worried about the seemingly "good" outcome for the Grammer Cavalry.

Unlike many who are unaware of the battle situation, you are someone who has actually witnessed the true combat power of the Zerg on the battlefield.

After witnessing firsthand the battlefield between the Grammer Cavalry and the Zerg, you discovered a serious problem.

The Grammer Cavalry can only hold their own against low-level Zerg attacks; the elite Zerg that you find so troublesome have never appeared.

Once those elite Zerg forces join the battle, the seemingly improving situation for the Grammer Cavalry will immediately take a sharp turn for the worse.

You were particularly worried about this battle situation, so you finally decided to rely on your own strength and not place all your efforts on the Grammer cavalry.

So you decided to make the Fireflies the Grammer Knights.

Only when the fireflies become Grammer Knights, working in tandem with your "Puppet on a String," can they find hope for survival.

Guess who will lay more eggs?

Chapter 54 Sensitivity Enhancement

[You've long wanted to make Fireflies the Grammer Knights, but there's always been obstruction from the [Governing Council]]

[You had been searching for a way to make Fireflies a member of the Grammer Knights, but despite knowing it was a semi-public secret, you still failed.]

Although you now possess sufficient power after becoming a general, the Grammer Cavalry's plans, as previously stated, are under the control of the [Governing Council].

The ruling council did not agree to the Firefly becoming a member of the Grammer Cavalry. You didn't understand at the time, but now you realize it was probably because they were wary of seizing power and wanted to prevent your relatives from becoming members of the Grammer Cavalry and posing a threat to their rule.

In the eyes of the [ruling council], their power is the most important thing, so important that they can ignore even the most dire national crisis, let alone the fact that you made the Fireflies the Grammer Cavalry.

As things have now proven, the [ruling council's] concerns were indeed valid; you do indeed pose a threat to the [ruling council].

However, this is because the [ruling parliament] made such foolish decisions during this time of national crisis.

The ruling council is obsessed with protecting its power, fearing threats to it, and has even lost its way, failing to see that the threat posed by the Zerg to the Grammer Empire is catastrophic.

Therefore, it was inevitable that you, along with many generals, would publicly defy the [ruling council's] decision.

And indeed, the arrival of the Grammer Cavalry on the battlefield proved effective in stopping the Zerg invasion.

The ruling council is speechless in the face of your defiance. Although it has tried to deploy law enforcement, none of them dare to touch you.

[After all, you are generals of the Grammer Empire's fleet]

Even if the ruling council treats you like an easy target, many law enforcement teams wouldn't dare to step forward and offend you.

[One reason is that your girlfriend, Liuying, is determined to protect you with her life. Her resolute gaze and fiercely protective expression deterred the law enforcement team from making any rash moves.]

After all, under your tutelage, Liu Ying has become an extremely outstanding warrior. With Liu Ying's protection, the enforcement team has no confidence that they can get past her.

More importantly, the law enforcement team was intimidated by your gaze.

[Back when you were first arrested by the law enforcement team, they already knew you were destined for greatness.]

Today, you have become the general of the Grammer Empire's fleet, and everyone in the enforcement team has heard of your formidable reputation.

Having witnessed your terrifying power and authority after you grew up, the law enforcement team didn't dare to take any action.

Moreover, many of the new recruits in the enforcement team have even grown up under your guidance, and they both fear and respect you immensely.

Therefore, the enforcement team was scared off by you, and the [ruling council] couldn't do anything to you.

Therefore, the [ruling council] can only launch a severe verbal attack against you, strongly condemning your decision to rely on the Grammer Cavalry to fight the Zerg.

[You have completely ignored the condemnations of the [Ruling Council], and the Grammer Empire fleet and many civilians simply do not listen to the [Ruling Council].]

Everyone knows who truly protects the Grammer Empire—not the [Ruling Council] that only vehemently condemns it, but the Grammer Empire's fleet.

Now that you have the initiative in the Grammer Cavalry Project, it's only natural that the matter of Firefly becoming a member of the Grammer Cavalry should be put on the agenda.

With the "Puppet" entry, you can fully unleash the power of a Firefly in the Grammer Ironclad, which is the only way to survive on the Zerg battlefield.

Compared to becoming a member of the Grammer Knights, Firefly possesses a unique adaptability.

After all, her mother was captured and used for experiments in the Grammer campaign.

[And as Liu Ying followed you into battle, she too rose to a position second only to the emperor.]

Unlike other warriors who can only be intimidated by your Haki, Firefly can directly feel your Conqueror's Haki at close range.

Under your intense training with "Conqueror's Haki," Liu Ying is no longer the naive little girl she once was.

Your body, honed through rigorous training, possesses unparalleled strength and an indomitable spirit that cannot be defeated by any hardship or obstacle.

Your fearsome aura has made Liu Ying a brave warrior who is unafraid of any difficulty except for you, and her superb combat skills have also raised her physical abilities to be no less than yours.

[Under your relentless, close-range training with "Conqueror's Haki," Liu Ying's mind and body have been forged and hammered into shining gold.]

Although she remains your submissive girlfriend, offering you her whole being, letting you enjoy everything about her, and surrendering all her tenderness to you.

However, to outsiders, Liu Ying is already a powerful warrior, and your strongest subordinate.

To avoid any irreversible changes, you decided to make the Fireflies the Grammer Cavalry before the Zerg's elite warriors could truly be deployed.

[But when you take a closer look at the Grammer Cavalry's plan, you realize that it was the right decision not to make Firefly a member of the Grammer Cavalry earlier.]

The success rate of transforming warriors into Grammer Knights is not high; the past prosperity was merely a fig leaf for the [Ruling Council].

[The ruling council, in order to avoid questioning, has whitewashed the situation, concealing the high mortality rate of the Grammer Cavalry and creating an image of the Grammer Cavalry as a source of pride.]

Even with a mother like Liu Ying, who was well-suited for the Grammer Cavalry Plan, as a guarantee, success was not assured.

[Firefly's mother was indeed a special individual, and she became a major asset to the Grammer Iron Cavalry Project.]

Unfortunately, Liu Ying's useless father dragged down her bloodline, making her compatibility rate lower than that of her mother.

………………

Jing Ye frowned as he looked at the contents of the villain simulator. He hadn't expected that the Grammer Iron Cavalry would have such inside information.

The Grammer Cavalry, which many warriors in the Grammer Empire's fleet consider their dream, their highest honor and pride, actually have an extremely high mortality rate that is being concealed by the [Governing Council].

Considering the fact that in the simulation, the [ruling council] refused to publicly reveal the Grammer Cavalry despite the difficulties, fearing that their grip on power would be affected...

No wonder the Grammer Empire collapsed; how could it possibly have a good outcome with a [ruling council] like that?

Jing Ye was astonished that the Grammer Empire's fleet had developed to the point of interstellar travel and even collided with the Star Gods.

What troubled Jingye even more was the matter of Liuying and the Grammer Cavalry.

[The ruling council] is a disgusting bunch of incompetent teammates who only drag themselves down. Jing Ye might curse them a couple of times and kick them a couple of times, but he'll probably thoroughly purge them afterward so that those in power aren't the same kind of trash anymore...

However, what made Jing Ye even more troubled was the situation where Liu Ying, involuntarily, dragged him down in terms of background settings.

It turns out that the success rate of modifying the Grammer Cavalry was lower because of her useless, good-for-nothing father's bloodline...

Although the underlying concept of the Firefly is the Grammer Iron Cavalry, a successfully modified biological weapon, ... this is a risk that Jing Ye is unwilling to see.

To be honest, Jingye cherishes his toys and dolls immensely.

Although the methods used in taming and training were somewhat rough, and he tormented Liu Ying both physically and mentally when he first obtained her, he also often left Liu Ying covered in wounds during their subsequent loving moments...

However, Jingye's love for Liuying is beyond doubt. His harsh treatment of Liuying is merely a seasoning in their emotional life, and also a test of Liuying's resilient character.

They really wanted Jing Ye to gamble with Liu Ying's life, to let her carry out the extremely risky Grammer Iron Cavalry Plan...

Jing Ye was not happy about it.

The beloved doll is very important to Jing Ye, just like the Great Black Tower and Estella before. Liu Ying has also brought Jing Ye countless joys and provided him with delicious and twisted scenes.

All the problems can be traced back to Liu Ying's useless father.

That despicable alcoholic and gambling scumbag, even in death, still drags Liuying down with him.

Jing Ye gritted his teeth. He should have used a more vicious method when he nailed that good-for-nothing to death, and found a way to revive his wife so that he could watch his wife, who had been reincarnated, be humiliated.

Let that good-for-nothing watch as his wife, whom he killed, is resurrected and manipulated by others, ruthlessly destroying the last thing that guy cherished.
