Cheng Ying was also quite helpless. "Brother Yu, I don't know either. Should we join the military or live our own lives freely? After all, our arrival here was an accident."

“Actually, whenever I have free time every night, I feel that invisible force. I plan to perfectly control that force and go back to the War of Resistance Against Japan. After all, there are many of our comrades and soldiers there. If I don’t go back to see them, I will always have some longing in my heart.”

Yu Jianshe nodded in agreement. "That's what I think too. Ying'er, I'll go wherever you are."

Cheng Ying said, "As for whether or not to join the army, in my opinion, since they have invited us so sincerely time and time again, then let's join! But we must agree on the terms."

Yu Jianshe also agreed, saying, "Yes, even if we join the army, we still need our own freedom. We can't just listen to them in everything."

Having made the decision, the two felt relieved and stopped thinking about other things.

The next day, they contacted Chen Fei and expressed their willingness to accept Marshal Long's invitation to join the military as special advisors.

Chen Fei was overjoyed and immediately arranged for them to go to the capital to report for duty.

Upon hearing that she had to go to the capital to report for duty, Cheng Ying exclaimed, "I didn't expect that just reporting for duty would require going to the capital!"

Yu Jianshe comforted him, "It's okay, we've never been there before, so let's just treat it as a trip."

Cheng Ying sighed, "Alright! Let's go take a look together, and while we're at it, let's see our villa that costs 20 million star coins."

Two days later, they boarded an interstellar spaceship with their adjutant Chen Fei and embarked on their journey to the capital.

Upon arriving in the capital, they discovered that the military was riddled with internal conflicts.

It turned out that Marshal Long's invitation had aroused the dissatisfaction of some conservative forces. Those people secretly made things difficult for them, arranging the most rudimentary accommodations for them and sending some soldiers to deliberately make things difficult for them.

The soldier looked at them with disdain and said, "This is it. Go in! Remember, don't wander around or you'll get arrested. We don't have time to rescue you."

The way they're talking makes it sound like they're criminals who can't just wander around and are being arrested. They haven't done anything wrong, so why are they being arrested? It's ridiculous!

Although the accommodation was simple, there were at least two rooms. Cheng Ying and her companion ignored the soldier and only looked around each room after he left.

Seeing the dusty interior, I found it utterly ridiculous. This was hardly the kind of housing the capital's military personnel were allowed; it was clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.

Cheng Ying was furious, so she used her personal terminal to dial the personal terminal number of Marshal Chen Fei's adjutant. This time, she made a video call, and the other end answered in no time, showing Chen Fei's face.

"Hello, Miss Cheng, is there anything I can help you with? Have you settled in yet?"

Cheng Ying pointed her personal terminal at the room that had been arranged for them without any politeness and said, "Look at this, this is the room they've arranged for us. There's so much dust there that you could build another room. Is this how you treat us, or is this your local custom?"

Chen Fei, on the other end of the video call, was also furious after seeing the room. He had no idea that his subordinates operated this way. Although angry, he still tried to calm Cheng Ying and the others down, saying:

"Don't worry, I'll handle this. I'll be right there!"

Not long after, Chen Fei rushed over and apologized to Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe with a guilty look on his face: "I'm so sorry, the people below are incompetent. I will punish them. I have already had new accommodations cleaned for you to rest in."

Cheng Ying snorted, while Yu Jianshe patted her shoulder, indicating that it was alright.

Anyway, they won't be staying here for long. Once the formalities are completed, they can go back.

After moving into their new residence, they completed the formalities the next day and were officially hired as special advisors. In reality, this position was just a title, and they were still needed to handle various matters.

They were also simultaneously awarded the rank of colonel, which was already quite high for them.

However, the conservative forces did not give up. At a military conference, someone openly questioned their capabilities. Liu Yihao, the regimental commander of the 29th Army Corps, said:

"Since you are special advisors sent by Marshal Long, I have a matter that I need you to resolve. If you are not capable of it, you should go back to where you came from as soon as possible."

Cheng Ying smiled slightly, "Please speak freely, Commander."

Liu Yihao sneered, "We all know that Alpha Planet is the territory of the orcs. They have a kind of crystal called the Star of Pregnancy. We need to obtain fifty of them. Of course, it would be even better if you could obtain more!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Fei angrily said, "Liu Yihao, don't go too far."
