Bengtie, I'm really not a villain!

[The reason for the failure in the last simulation was probably because there was a traitor within the Grammer Empire's fleet.]

[The information given to the Zerg by the traitor allowed them to wait until you and Firefly left the battlefield, then send out their elite forces to instantly shatter the battle lines and advance straight to the heart of the Empire.]

[This time, your swift and decisive actions caught everyone off guard, leaving the Zerg with no way to conceal their strength, and they have now dispatched their elite forces...]

However, you worry that the more stable the situation, the more likely the mole will cause trouble.

Even in the last simulation, when the Empire was forced into repeated defeats by the low-level Zerg and could only hold on with the Grammer Cavalry, and was on the verge of collapse, an internal traitor could still cause trouble.

This time, thanks to your foresight and the Grammer cavalry that you prepared in advance, the Grammer Empire's territory was not significantly breached by the Zerg.

Even with the Zerg sending their elite forces, the situation remains very favorable against the newly produced Grammer Ironclads you and the Fireflies have created.

With such a lack of sense of crisis, how could the mole possibly tolerate your fervent adoration by the world? How could they possibly refrain from causing trouble?

To ensure your safety and that of Liuying during their reproduction, you revealed the location of the secret base to every general.

With a general protecting you, even the most capable mole won't be able to bypass the general's protection and attack you.

This situation is different from last time. Last time, you and Firefly were all alone, facing thousands upon thousands of Zerg elites who were constantly being supplied.

[And this time, the new Grammer Ironclads you and the Firefly produced are fully capable of dealing with the Zerg.]

Although the Queen of Insects was blessed with the ability to reproduce, the newly formed Grammer Ironclad was still more powerful than the elite Insectoids that her rapidly multiplying army possessed.

Although the production speed of Fireflies and Nightfall cannot compare to the insane speed of the Queen, their individual strength surpasses that of the Zerg elite.

This is a battle report, detailing the situation on the front lines.

Compared to regular Grammer cavalry, the newly formed Grammer cavalry are not only capable of dealing with elite Zerg forces, but can also fight ten against one, and some can even withstand dozens.

[Therefore, as long as you and Firefly are safe, what follows is your battle against the Insect Queen.]

In terms of reproduction speed, whether you and the Firefly are stronger, or the Queen of Insects is stronger, will determine the fate of the Grammer Empire.

To avoid harassment or even attack from internal traitors during production, the protection of other generals is indispensable.

After you provided Firefly with sufficient production resources, you helped her lay another batch of eggs and sent them to the battlefield via conveyor belt.

While the fireflies rested and replenished their strength, you sent a video to each general.

[All the generals received your video, in which you emphasized the security measures in place for your and Liuying's secret hideout, and stressed the importance of ensuring your safety.]

[You specifically emphasized that you and Firefly are both vulnerable during the production process, and the consequences of an attack would be unimaginable. Therefore, we need to rely on the strength of the generals to avoid being attacked by the Zerg.]

This is your first public appearance since repeatedly saving the Grammer Empire from the war against the Zerg; many generals are also seeing you for the first time.

Not to mention the many common people, even the many generals who were your equals did not understand your intentions at first.

From the moment you forcibly took control of the [Ruling Council] and officially implemented the Grammer Cavalry Plan, many generals did not understand the reason for your swift action. They simply believed in your strength and admired you, and thus followed you.

As it turns out, most of the generals who trusted your judgment were right; you did indeed save the Grammer Empire from dire straits.

[And in your first appearance in so long, although the generals still don't understand how you managed to produce such powerful new Grammer cavalry, most of them still strictly carried out your instructions.]

Only a few generals who were on friendly terms with the [ruling council] grumbled about their dissatisfaction with you, believing that as a general, it was a waste of your combat power to go to the rear instead of personally commanding on the battlefield.

In short, the generals are basically carrying out your orders, each secretly deploying troops around the secret base and maintaining their own vigilance.

With the protection of many generals, you and Liuying can focus even more on production.

[Under the effects of Liuwei Dihuang Wan, your energy is more than enough, so even working day and night with Liuying is no problem at all.]

However, Liuying's stamina gradually declined over time, even though you had trained her rigorously in preparation for this day.

Meanwhile, the war between the newly formed Grammer cavalry and the elite Zerg forces on the battlefield is in full swing.

The newly formed Grammer Cavalry was originally capable of dealing with the elite multi-headed Zerg forces, but as the Zerg seemed to lose patience after failing to break through, they finally deployed a new type of force.

The new Zerg elites are even more formidable than before, causing the newly formed Grammer Ironclads to once again level the battle lines they had pushed back.

Now is the time to test your and Firefly's production speed. As long as you and Firefly can replenish your forces faster than the Queen Insect, then there is hope for victory in this war.

The soldiers of the Grammer Empire fleet, and the countless civilians whose lives depended on you, were all on tenterhooks.

The world believes in you. As the empire's most legendary hero, like a savior descended to earth, you are naturally regarded as the one who can win this war.

However, at this most crucial moment, a shocking message arrived—

[Outside the Grammer Empire's aerial battle lines with the Zerg, in the Grammer Empire's rear, a massive explosion has occurred!]

The Zerg, having bypassed the Skyline battle line like ghosts, suddenly appeared from the rear and destroyed a secret base without being detected by the Grammer Empire fleet and the newly formed Grammer Iron Cavalry!

The sudden explosion threw many unsuspecting civilians into panic, while the newly formed Grammer cavalry on the front lines also lost its reinforcements.

Despite their formidable fighting prowess, the newly recruited Grammer Ironclads, suddenly deprived of reinforcements, could not withstand the Zerg's massive influx of elite troops and constant replenishment.

[Thus, the people of the empire were plunged into immense panic upon hearing the news that the stalemate at the front had been broken and that an explosion had suddenly occurred in the rear!]

[At this moment, numerous battle reports indicate that a new type of elite Zerg force, capable of stealth and reconnaissance, has bypassed the defenses of many large armies and struck directly at the heart of the enemy!]

An unbelievable possibility has arisen in the minds of many people, and that is—

"Jing Ye and Liu Ying are dead!"

A general reacted swiftly, appearing before the vast crowd of the empire and confirming the unbelievable suspicions of the masses!

[The entire empire was devastated by the news of your death; unprecedented panic spread throughout the empire!]

After all, your name is now a symbol of hope and heroism in the Empire. Your uncanny foresight and the magnificent image of repeatedly saving the Empire's front lines have become the hope of everyone.

[The people who had placed such high hopes on you suddenly perished overnight; their hopes crumbled, and they simply couldn't believe it!]

At this moment when everyone was in a state of extreme panic and chaos, the general who came forward to confirm your death, in order to stabilize morale, stepped forward and addressed the entire empire:

"Jing Ye is undoubtedly a hero of the empire; he dedicated everything to the empire until his death!"

"However, the dead cannot be brought back to life, and we cannot expect a dead person to become a source of hope."

"Jing Ye's death proves that he was not a hero or a savior. Don't place any more hopes on him!"

"With a formidable enemy at our doorstep, now is the time for us to serve the empire and sacrifice ourselves!"

"The time has come to dedicate everything to the Empire! Follow me and wipe out the Zerg in one fell swoop, avenging Jing Ye with victory and triumph!"

The general delivered a passionate and inspiring speech, attempting to ignite the passions of the many unsuspecting people.

Meanwhile, the general also belittled Jing Ye, attempting to reduce the panic caused by the news of your death.

Furthermore, the general attempted to have numerous Grammer Empire fleets follow him and to have many generals obey his commands.

However, that general had no idea how important you were to everyone now.

With your repeated rescues of the empire, you are now seen by many as synonymous with the empire's survival, a hero symbolizing the empire.

The panic caused by your death cannot be suppressed in a short time, and the general's speech did nothing to inspire people.

[No one was inspired by the general's speech; in fact, many were angered by his denigration of you and launched numerous protests against him.]

The general was utterly astonished and enraged that the crowd completely rejected his pleas, even demanding a public apology for belittling him during his speech!

The general couldn't accept this situation. You were a general, how could you be asked to publicly apologize for your death?!

The general launched into a tirade of curses, but to his surprise, the other generals, in this critical moment of life and death, showed no sign of supporting him.

The other generals stared coldly at his solo speech, as if watching a clown perform.

[They didn't even offer the slightest bit of a friendly expression, let alone agree with the general's speech.]

[And when that general mentioned your death and belittled you, the faces of many other generals were equally icy cold.]

In the conference room where many generals were gathered, the air was thick with a cold, awkward, and even menacing atmosphere, reflected in their cold expressions.

With no one paying attention to him and everyone staring at him with menacing, interrogative eyes, the general finally realized something was wrong.

But the general couldn't find anything wrong until your figure suddenly appeared on the big screen.

"I'm so sorry I didn't die; things didn't go as you wished."

With a mocking smile, you reappeared in everyone's sight on the large screen, in a video simultaneously broadcast to the entire empire.

Your appearance caused a nationwide uproar. The fear and panic over your death, coupled with the disbelief of the crowd, erupted into a tsunami of cheers!

The entire empire's people refused to believe you would die; your appearance was exactly as everyone had predicted!

"I knew General Jing wouldn't die!"

"Legends never die!"

The sorrow and panic that permeated the entire empire were completely ignited by your reappearance, turning into cheers for you.

[Your "resurrection" has once again elevated your standing in the hearts of the people to an unshakeable level!]

[I ask you, in the history of this empire, who else could be as legendary as you, with uncanny foresight, decisive coups, and the ability to "rise from the dead" after repeatedly saving the empire!]

Having returned from the brink of death, you have undoubtedly become the true savior in the hearts of the empire's people!

The panic throughout the empire dissipated, leaving only one voice—the unanimous chanting of your name!

"Jing Ye! Jing Ye! Jing Ye!!"

Amidst the cheers of the entire empire's people, you gave the general a mocking smile.

"How about that? Aren't you shocked that I'm still alive?"

[Although you were questioning that general, the simultaneous broadcast to the entire empire triggered another tsunami of cheers!]

The sounds echoed throughout the empire, lingering and reverberating until they reached the conference room where many generals were gathered.

As you questioned them, the cheers of the entire empire gradually subsided, and they realized that your statement seemed to have a hidden meaning.

"Could there be a secret behind General Jing's feigned death?"

"There couldn't possibly be a mole, could there? Someone who can't stand General Jing's legendary experiences and the admiration of thousands?"

"With the empire facing war, who has the time to do something so reckless?"

Numerous discussions spread among the people of the empire, and the general's expression never improved whenever you appeared.

[From the shock and disbelief at seeing you, to the fury as if you understood something, and then to the ashen face of resignation.]

The general's changing expressions were so fascinating they'd leave you speechless.

Compared to the cold expressions of the other generals, your seemingly indifferent expression, as if watching a show, made that general grit his teeth even more.

The moment you appeared, the general, seeing the same look the other generals gave you as if you were looking at a corpse, realized it was a scheme.

[The general, being a general himself, could naturally understand the hatred and ferocity in the eyes of those other generals who looked at the traitor.]

This was a meticulously prepared feast that brought him to light.

The general simply couldn't understand what had led him to predict this plot.

The general couldn't understand why you were so able to predict the future with such uncanny accuracy.

[Before the Zerg arrived, you forcibly took control of the [Rectifying Council], allowing the Grammer Ironclads to prepare for battle and stabilizing the situation.]

Before the Zerg elites were dispatched, you prepared the newly formed Grammer Iron Cavalry.

[Now you can even guess that there's a mole within the Grammer Empire's fleet, even a mole at the general level?]

The general initially didn't believe you were already watching him and had specially prepared this banquet for him, but after your repeated uncanny predictions, he had no choice but to believe you.

What puzzled the general was, what methods did you use to ensure that all the generals could pinpoint him as the mole?

Under the general's puzzled gaze, you chuckled.

Then, under the general's bewildered gaze, you chose to let him die knowing why.

It turns out, you told each general his exact location.

[The secret base you told this general about, although destroyed by the Zerg, the information the other generals received was not from that specific base.]

[This way, if any place is attacked and destroyed, the traitor can be immediately identified based on the different answers you gave to each general.]

Therefore, when that secret base was destroyed, only this traitorous general stepped forward to stir up trouble.

All the other generals remained calm, because the secret base where Liu Ying and Jing Ye were located, as they knew it, was not the one that had been destroyed.

[And at the moment when the secret base of Jing Ye and Liu Ying, which did not exist, was destroyed, this traitorous general jumped out to make the people of the empire believe that Jing Ye was dead, and even belittled Jing Ye's past achievements.]

The general's speech in front of the world made it seem as if his jealousy of Jing Ye's talent and achievements, and his desire to replace him on the spot, were written all over his face.

[After your mockery, it was only then that the general belatedly realized why he was the only one who seemed truly anxious when the secret base behind the front lines was suddenly destroyed.]

[He was certainly not in a hurry; in fact, he was overjoyed and couldn't wait to see you die.]

After all, you are the first person in the history of the Grammer Empire's fleet, and now you have become the spiritual leader of the Grammer Empire, a great hero cheered by everyone.
