Chapter 2205

【Greetings to all members of the Binghe Squad. Regarding the message Bai Zhenyu posted in the group at noon, I will now announce the results to everyone】

【The matter has now been fully investigated. Captain Li Ruanyu has no problems whatsoever, and the fashion items she crafted also have no problems. Everyone can wear them with confidence】

【Bai Zhenyu refuses to come out of his territory. Due to the effect of the Peace Talisman, we are temporarily unable to force our way in either】

【However, one thing can be confirmed: Bai Zhenyu is the werewolf spy among us, and he has now been exposed】

【I really didn't expect it—the dignified vice-captain… and he had also given his all when fighting the werewolves before, yet he turned out to be a werewolf undercover agent…】

【Forget it】

【Catching him is still a good thing】

【Captain Li Ruanyu has now returned to her territory, continuing to craft and forge equipment for all of us. It will be distributed soon】

【Please continue to trust Captain Li】

【Do not be deceived by the enemy】

After Guan Zhiyong finished speaking, the group chat became noisy again.

Quite a few people were sending messages.

【Tan Jie】I told you Captain Li was fine. Who was the one suspecting her at noon?

【Wu Tao】Dammit, truly heartless. Every single one of you has received so many good fashion items, and you still suspected there was witchcraft on them? Is that something a human being would even think of?

【Cao Lin】Exactly. Who was being so loud just now? Come on out and keep going.

【Wei Ling】What are you doing? I'm not suspecting Captain Li either. I just felt that Vice-Captain Bai… uh, what he said made sense. Didn't many of you also feel it made sense?

【Lei Yi】There are plenty of things that sound reasonable, and plenty of fallacies too. Should we listen to all of them?

【Ruan Ming】But what about the technical matters? Captain Li is indeed impressive, but she suddenly broke through by such a huge margin—there's really cause for suspicion. We were only raising doubts about these specific points, not targeting Captain Li as a person.

【Zai Yong】When Bai… Bai Zhenyu was speaking just now, why didn't any of you jump out to support Captain Li? Only coming out to support her now—isn't that an armchair general? Bai Zhenyu was the captain just now. I trusted the captain, so what's wrong with that?

【Feng Duo】Bai Zhenyu was indeed the captain just now, but he's also a werewolf spy. Trusting a werewolf spy's words—and you still think there's nothing wrong with that?

【Yan Lin】Exactly. Being used by a werewolf spy, speaking up for a werewolf spy, and quite loudly at that—and now you still have the nerve to act so self-righteous.

The lords began to argue.

After all, each side had its own reasoning.

Because Bai Zhenyu had built his case on a factual foundation and then fabricated things on top of it, of course it would deceive some people.

At this moment, Jiang Chen also spoke.

【Jiang Chen - Vice Regiment Commander】:

【Everyone stop arguing!】

【The matter has already been conclusively determined. Captain Li Ruanyu is a meritorious contributor to all of us. Bai Zhenyu is the werewolf's running dog. There's nothing more to say about this】

【As for Captain Li's technical matters, this is not something you are qualified to discuss. All of you, shut your mouths】

【Captain Li's tailoring techniques, as well as her forging techniques, are all classified. They cannot be disclosed to everyone】

【There are still werewolf undercovers and running dogs among us. Anyone who keeps prying into or doubting Captain Li's techniques will be subjected to investigation】

【If they are a werewolf undercover, once verified, they will be killed without mercy】

【If it's simply out of stupidity, then they are also unfit to continue serving as lords】

【A great battle is imminent. We must unite】

【Being so easily provoked by the enemy is truly laughable】

【This matter will not be discussed further. All of you, prepare for battle!】

Jiang Chen's tone was very stern.

And it clearly carried anger.

The group chat was uncharacteristically quiet for a moment.

But very soon, another notification appeared:

【White Tiger Regiment Commander Yao Feng has joined this group】

This time, everyone's attention was caught.

This was the Binghe main squad's group. Yao Feng had not been in it, and Jiang Chen had also been temporarily added in earlier.

Many lords had never even seen Yao Feng before.

They didn't know what she had come in to do.

Was something else about to happen?

【Yao Feng - Regiment Commander】:

【Greetings to all lords of the Binghe main squad. I am the commander of the White Tiger Regiment, Yao Feng】

【I have already learned of what just happened. It was entirely a lie fabricated by the enemy. I trust that all of you have the ability to discern】

【Regiment Commander Jiang and Chief Captain Guan should have already notified everyone, so I won't say more】

【I will only say one thing】

【Captain Li Ruanyu is our key figure right now. Nothing can go wrong on her end. Crossing her means crossing me, and crossing the entire White Tiger Regiment】

【From this moment on, the White Tiger Regiment grants Li Ruanyu exemption from review, with authority equal to my own】

【If there are still werewolf running dogs out there, then you all listen to me carefully!】

【Captain Li will continue to produce high-quality weapons and equipment, allowing our comrades in the White Tiger Regiment to keep growing stronger. Let your werewolf masters wait a bit—they will definitely get a taste of what we can do】

【Going forward, weapons and equipment will still be distributed to everyone】

【Please all work together to take good care of Captain Li, and do not let the enemy harm her】

【That's all】

Silence.

No one dared to speak.

Yao Feng's tone was very calm, but clearly carried killing intent.

Even the werewolf moles who hadn't been rooted out didn't dare speak up at a time like this.

【White Tiger Regiment Commander Yao Feng has left the group】

She's gone just like that?

The lords stared at this notification in astonishment.

It seemed Commander Yao Feng had come purely to back Li Ruanyu, and left right after.

No dawdling whatsoever.

Even Zhao Chi laughed at the sight.

Not bad.

Li Ruanyu had gained another protective talisman.

She was already completely exempt from review.

The werewolves really were jumping at every chance — starting with broadcasting to all, trying to throw the army into disarray.

Then switching to wanting to capture Li Ruanyu alive.

When the capture failed, they tried to interfere with her, to keep her from crafting in peace.

These werewolves may not be human, but they really do have some tricks.

Ignore them!

Even if the werewolves are cunning, they simply picked the wrong target.

Since the matter is past, pull yourself together and get back to crafting.

That is Zhao Chi's only task right now.

Begin!

A few days later.

Inside the armory.

A crisp clanging of hammers on metal.

Zhuang Ya wore no armor at all, standing bare-skinned beside the furnace.

Orange firelight glowed on her snow-white skin, and flames were reflected in her eyes as well.

Since the Flame Creature genetic enhancement, they truly no longer feared fire.

Zhuang Ya especially.

Even though this only raised the forging speed a tiny bit, any improvement was good, however small.

Suddenly, the notification Zhao Chi had been waiting for arrived.

【Your Forging skill has reached 1000 points】
