The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"An acquaintance? Are you talking about her brother?" Ying Zheng chuckled coldly. "They expelled their elder sister, Shiluwa, but still allowed their younger brother, Jeppard, to hold a high position in the army... Kokolia's methods are completely inadequate. Or perhaps, are these two from prominent families?"

He thought about it and felt that this possibility was very high.

If he hadn't come from a wealthy family, he felt that Cocolia could have killed Shilua directly just because she almost exposed the secret of the star core.

"Just as they were about to leave, the door suddenly rang. Shiluwa then remembered that Jeppard had said he would come today!"

"She quickly asked everyone to hide inside the house."

"Jepard's purpose for coming here was to find a good excuse for everyone—the barrier device had malfunctioned, and he hoped to ask Shiluwa to help repair it."

"After Jeppard left, Shiluwa had a few people disguise themselves and openly took them to the restricted area to "repair" the energy pipeline."

"But unfortunately, they were exposed by Dunn, a captain of the Silver Mane Iron Guard. Even though Dunn had a crush on Shiluva, he still chose to stick to his post... and then he was knocked unconscious."

"However, before he fainted, Dunn successfully passed on the news that Shiluwa was with the wanted criminal."

"As far as the Iron Guard is concerned, he has fulfilled his duties!"

"So, Jeppard led his team to block the path of Xing and his group."

"Seeing Shiluwa leading a group of wanted criminals into the restricted area, Jeppard was extremely angry and started arguing with Shiluwa directly."

"Dan Heng held Bronya's letter, hesitant to speak."

"You're already arguing right now? Why don't you take a look at Bronya's souvenir first? If you don't believe it, then it's not too late for you two siblings to argue later!"

"But unfortunately, the siblings didn't even give Danheng the chance to produce the souvenir. The argument only intensified."

"But both of them have reasons why they can't retreat."

"For Sylva, helping Xing and the others seal the star core is the only way to save this world."

"For Jeppard, the claims of these outsiders have been rejected by the Great Guardian Cocolia, who has determined that they are ambitious individuals seeking to overthrow Beloberg. Furthermore, the restricted area he is in is the front line of the Silver Mane Guards' defense of Beloberg, a place where wanted criminals are absolutely not allowed to pass!"

"Since we can't reach an agreement, the only option left is to resort to the most primitive and basic way of communicating in the world: with fists!"

"The two siblings started fighting over a disagreement, and Xing and the others rushed to help."

"Only Dan Heng had a complicated expression: Are you really not going to read the letter first?"

"Hahaha, Dan Heng's expression is hard to describe."

"I'm dying of laughter. Jeppard and Shiluwa started arguing right away. They couldn't hear anything. They were even trying to read a letter? What the hell? They started fighting!"

"Is this what Sylva said about having acquaintances in the Silvermane Guard, so you can avoid fighting? It's ridiculous, there's no way you can avoid it."

"Looking at a bunch of acquaintances, not only some of them had a crush on her, but also her brother, in the end no one gave her face, it was so fun."

The villagers gathered in a village and laughed out loud.

In the past, they didn't have such a high-end entertainment method as watching the sky curtain. Even storytelling was rarely heard. Now, looking at the sky curtain, they all feel that their previous lives have been wasted.

Sitting here looking at the sky, and drinking water when thirsty, I guess this is what the emperor's life is like, right?

...At most, the emperor's drinking cup is made of gold.

"This battle was extremely difficult. Jeppard is a true believer in Creeper and truly walks the path of preservation."

"His fighting style is to protect (shield)!"

"Thanks to his constant armor stacking, Jeppard is incredibly tough, the kind that you can't even hit him!"

(Jeppad: I'm too afraid of pain, so I put all my points into defense)

"This went on for a long time, and both sides were a little tired. Dan Heng finally found an opportunity to take out the letter."

"After reading the letter, Jeppard's eyes widened suddenly. He couldn't believe what he saw."

"Shiluwa stopped arguing with him at this point and calmed down to persuade him, "I've said everything I need to say, and I've shown you everything I need to show you. Brother, you can decide for yourself what to do."

Jeppard Chen said without hesitation, "I am the Guardian of the Silver Mane Iron Guard. It is my duty to carry out the orders of the High Guardian."

"Okay, I haven't had enough." Xing flexed his wrist and swung the bat with great vigor.

"..." Jeppard had no intention of continuing. After another pause, he continued, "But Miss Bronya is the de facto commander of the front lines. According to military regulations, when the frontline command conflicts with the orders of the city builders in the rear, they should remain in place and await further instructions."

"He didn't say he'd let Xing and the others go, nor did he say he'd support them. Instead, he used a reasonable and legal approach to directly avoid conflict with them."

"To put it simply—Jappard has a flexible moral compass."

"Tsk tsk tsk, just stay where you are and wait for further instructions." Liu Bang's expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He knew that for the army, if it wanted to increase its chances of victory, it could not allow people in the rear to command the front at random. This was a matter of course.

It is absolutely unacceptable to do something like what a certain principal did, airdropping instructions and doing things like moving a machine gun five centimeters to the left.

(Principal: You might as well explain your words more clearly.)

But as an emperor, Liu Bang could never accept that his generals ignored his orders and accepted the orders of another person!

This has nothing to do with right or wrong, it only has to do with stance.

If officers of all ranks in the army all chose to obey the orders of the general when faced with the orders of the emperor and the general... then who is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, him or the general?

Therefore, an emperor like him was destined to dislike generals like Jeppard.

Liu Bang glanced at Han Xin rather obscurely.

If we talk about the person he is most worried about, it is Han Xin!

It’s not the right time yet... Let’s wait and see. If he is sensible enough, he should retreat while the going is good.

Jeppard stepped aside. "To continue north, we'll have to cross a completely eroded Rift before reaching the snowy plains on the other side. This will buy the Iron Guard some time before the next wave of attacks arrives."

"Everyone understood Jeppard's intention. He would lead the Iron Guards to attack proactively, delaying the monsters from the Rift, and buying time for Xing and the others."

"Seele, who originally had the strongest opinion about these Silvermane Guards, couldn't help but change her mind."

"I must admit that I misunderstood you, the Silvermane Guard. You fight for survival every day, just like the Underfire."

"Thank you." Jeppard accepted Hill's compliment frankly, turned around and led the Iron Guard to push open the gate: "Silvermane Iron Guard, form up! For Beloberg!"
