After arriving in Sata City, Jiang Wuyuan stopped following Liu Can.

They will be assigned to the garrison in Sata City, while Jiang Wuyuan will accompany Cheng Ruohai to 'demand an explanation'.

Of course, he didn't go openly and honestly.

Although Nian Qingfeng said that the Dragon Kingdom was not afraid of the Heistan Empire's lack of cooperation.

But if we could kill the Third Princess without leaving any trace, that would be even better.

"What do we need to do now?"

"Gather information," Jiang Wuyuan said calmly. "Lieutenant General Cheng, I'd like to ask you to go and cause trouble for Bastian first."

Cheng Ruohai was a smart man, so he naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Wuyuan's words.

"Don't worry, I understand."

——

Sata City Command Center.

As a bustling city, the architecture of Sata City stands in stark contrast to that of Victor City.

This place is bustling and magnificent, even the command headquarters building is built in the unique style of the Hestan Empire.

Elegant and magnificent, it resembles a church with a glass dome.

Several guards stood at the entrance.

Upon seeing Cheng Ruohai, they bowed respectfully: "Lieutenant General Cheng, His Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Please lead the way." Cheng Ruohai nodded to them and followed one of them inside.

The interior of the command center looks completely different from its exterior, filled with a high-tech style.

The soldier led Cheng Ruohai through a corridor to the door of the innermost office: "His Highness the Crown Prince is inside. You can go in directly."

Thanks.

Cheng Ruohai didn't stand on ceremony and immediately pushed open the door.

Inside the door, Sethmond was sitting behind a silver, tech-style desk.

Standing next to him was a man wearing glasses, who appeared to be his assistant.

The assistant was holding a thick stack of paper documents and was reading the key points to Sethmond.

Hearing the door open, Sethmond looked up, snapping out of his reverie of the endless battles on the front lines. His gentle and handsome face unconsciously broke into his signature smile: "Lieutenant General Cheng, you've arrived. Please have a seat."

He seemed completely unconcerned about Cheng Ruohai's impolite act of pushing the door open and entering.

Cheng Ruohai didn't stand on ceremony with him, after all, she had come here to confront him.

"It's nice to meet you again, Your Highness."

"We meet again. I've heard the news of the great victory in the Battle of Victor City. The strength of the Dragon Kingdom soldiers is indeed as formidable as I imagined." Sethmond smiled gently, his words full of congratulations.

Cheng Ruohai exchanged a few polite words with him, then changed the subject: "I wonder if Your Highness knows your country's Major General Bastian?"

“Of course we know each other. I remember I assigned him to go to Victor City with the Dragon Kingdom's reinforcements. What, did he do something wrong?”

Cheng Ruohai chuckled: "Spreading false information and delaying the battle, isn't that something he did wrong?"

What? !

Sethmond was startled.

How could this be?! There's no reason for Bastian to do such a thing.

The Dragon Kingdom's reinforcements were to help the Heistan Empire control the invasion of the Abyss alien races, and it was a joint decision he made with his father. Bastian didn't have the guts to do anything to harm the Dragon Kingdom's army.

“Lieutenant General Cheng, is there some misunderstanding here?” Sethmond’s expression turned serious. “Do you have any evidence?”

"Do you think I'm lying to you, Your Highness? If you want evidence, then the soldiers of the entire Dragon Kingdom army are my evidence. Including the garrison and civilians of your Heistan Empire in Victor City."

The public may not know this, but that doesn't matter; we'll intimidate them first.

Sethmond knew that Cheng Ruohai had no reason to lie to him. He remained silent for a while, then turned his head slightly and said to his assistant, "Go and call Major General Bastian here."

"Yes, Your Highness." The assistant performed a graceful curtsy and quickly withdrew.

Bastian was quickly summoned.

Just before entering the office, he lightly touched his wristband, and a message was instantly sent to another mysterious number.

Within three seconds, all the records on his bracelet will be automatically deleted.

Bastian's face was somewhat pale, but he still managed to maintain his usual gentle demeanor: "Your Highness, Lieutenant General Cheng."

Sethmond's gaze sharpened as he looked at him: "Major General Bastian, I heard that you spread false information during the Battle of Victor City, delaying military operations and causing significant losses to the Chinese reinforcements?"

Bastian opened his mouth in surprise, glanced at Sethmond sitting in the main seat, and then at Cheng Ruohai sitting to the side: "Your Highness, I knew nothing about this... I, I informed Lieutenant General Cheng of everything before the war began."

"Is that so?" Cheng Ruohai sneered. "The Heistan Empire could detect that the alien forces were attacking Victor City from two directions, but they couldn't detect the approximate time of the aliens' arrival?"

this..........

Bastian choked for a moment: "It's normal for the arrival time to be slightly off."

"If the deviation is too large, then it's not normal, right?"

After I sent out reconnaissance troops, they quickly came to remind me that the alien race was about to arrive. Isn't that a bit too obvious?

Furthermore, what was the meaning behind your words implying that I should send Jiang Wuyuan alone to scout the east of the city?

"Jiang Wuyuan is exceptionally capable and will surely succeed in completing the mission."

"Oh? What about the first two questions?"

Bastian was speechless.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something stupid.

If the King and the Crown Prince insist on protecting Princess Lina in the face of the Dragon Kingdom, then he, as a Major General, will definitely become a sacrifice.
