On the way back, Ji Xiuyun's mind was full of meow meow meow and whatnot.

Even after he returned to his office and sat down, that magical name still lingered in his mind.

Marshal Ji took a deep breath, picked up the soft plushie on the table, and squeezed it.

Yue An had extravagantly brought the cat tree and his small toys over. He had emptied out all the places in the house that needed to be emptied. He hadn't left anything that needed to be taken away.

The Marshal's and his deputy's bedrooms were very close to each other. They were both separate bedrooms, but Yue An had never slept in the deputy's bedroom. He couldn't bear to part with Ji Xiuyun, who was such a big human-shaped heater, so he had piled up all the small toys in the Marshal Ji's bedroom.

This included more than 20 cat plushies that Ji Xiuyun had bought for him.

You might not believe it, but the main customer of these plushies wasn't Yue An, but Marshal Ji himself.

Yes, that was right.

Marshal Ji, who had a real cat and brought it to work with him, could only squeeze plushies now.

Most of the work before the expedition was paperwork, and Yue An didn't have any intention of working with him. Instead, he personally expressed his disdain for paperwork.

As soon as he took out a document, Yue An would run away quickly, no matter if he was a cat or a human.

Even if he wasn't supposed to do the paperwork, it was useless.

Even when she tried to seduce Yue An with his favorite snacks, she couldn't stop the cat from jumping out of the room.

This was completely different from when Yue An was always willing to squat beside him and stay up late to work with him.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun, who was once again abandoned by his cat, silently squeezed the plushie and put it in a sleeping position on the table. He pretended that Yue An was accompanying him and reopened the galaxy map and the universe sandbox.

Once the army officially left, they would be heading straight for the battlefield.

Preparations weren't perfect, but they had to be done to the best extent possible.

Marshal Kevin would keep an eye on the situation on the Imperial Planet. At the very least, the rear and logistics of the rear wouldn't be a big problem.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to extract the information sent back by the vanguard and confirm the entry point of the army and other details.

The vanguard was sent to investigate and build fighter jets. There was a steady stream of information being sent back. So far, the situation seemed to be normal.

As they were about to set off for battle, Marshal Ji's office was rarely empty. A few Legion Generals came and went, and the combat strength of the Marshal's direct subordinates would occasionally appear outside the door.

Excluding the corps commanders who might need to split up, there were a total of 20 people in the Marshal's direct troops. They were carefully selected and were the elites of the elites. Previously, when Ji Xiuyun was attacked, two of them were sacrificed. However, two of them were quickly selected and promoted from the elite class to fill the gap.

These were the most important and top-notch fighting forces in the seven legions.

It was an excellent weapon during a surprise attack and was the sharpest tip of a blade when tearing through a defensive line.

And today, every time this group of top-notch fighting forces entered Ji Xiuyun's office, they couldn't help but look at the doll lying on his desk.

Marshal Ji looked up and saw the First Legion's commander looking at him with a complicated expression. He wanted to say something but stopped.

Ji Xiuyun tapped his fingertips on the desk lightly and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"This." The First Legion's commander pointed at the doll lying on the desk.

"Oh." Marshal Ji didn't even bat an eyelid and casually said, "Yue An."

The two images in the First Legion's commander's mind spun and finally settled on the little furball. He nodded and said, "… Oh."

It was normal for little kittens to like soft and fluffy things.

The First Legion's commander thought for a moment and then said, "But you should keep this, Marshal."

How should he put it?

Well, it would damage Ji Xiuyun's heroic image.

Marshal Ji took the doll and reached out to open the drawer.

As soon as he opened the drawer, the other doll in the drawer was exposed in front of the First Legion's commander.

Ji Xiuyun paused for a moment and then realized that the doll in his hand was brought by Yue An. His own doll was lying safely in the drawer.

He was most afraid of the sudden silence.

This scene seemed to have happened once before.

Marshal Ji calmly put the doll in his hand into the drawer as if nothing had happened. He took the new information and discussed the sand table of the Eighteenth Galaxy with the First Legion's commander.

The First Legion's commander walked out of the office with a small notebook that had been revised many times. He was speechless about the two cat dolls that had been lingering in his mind.

There was nothing wrong with having a little hobby.

The First Legion's commander thought that the combination of a tough guy and a cat was also very good.

— — But those were dolls!!

Weren't these things only little girls or children would buy?!

The First Legion's commander felt as if something in his heart had collapsed. Even if he forcibly hypnotized himself that these two dolls might be Yue An's, he couldn't stop his firm belief from collapsing.

He quickly left Ji Xiuyun's office and prepared to find a quiet place to get some fresh air.

However, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw two of his colleagues hooking up with the Marshal's new deputy and walking into the private training room.

This kind of scene was originally very normal, but it wasn't normal to see these three people in the picture.

The ones who liked to stick to this deputy were usually San Er and Xiao Qi. When did Old Qi and Old Qi start to hook up with this person?

San Er and Xiao Qi had already been abused to the point of trembling. They always liked to stick to this young man and treated it as spying on intelligence.

But weren't the other two staunch supporters of Kevin?

Previously, they had also been very cold to the deputy who came out of nowhere.

How long had it been? These two with thick eyebrows and big eyes directly betrayed the revolution?

The First Legion's commander strode forward with his two long legs and decided to observe.

He had only taken two steps when he saw another person from the elite class approaching. He looked as if he was trying to snatch the person from the two Legion Commanders.

The person who was being snatched had a standard Ji Xiuyun's cold face. Finally, his blue eyes turned slightly, and he stretched out his hand towards the young man from the elite class. He clenched his hand into a fist and placed it in front of him.

"Stretch out your hand," he said.

The young man from the elite class was stunned for a moment, then he obediently stretched out his hand.

"Two," Yue An said again.

The young man from the elite class didn't hesitate to add one hand.

Something magical happened.

The young man who had the same name as the Marshal's cat slowly loosened his fist. Soft candies exuding a sweet and fruity fragrance fell from his hand one after another and landed in the hands of the young man from the elite class.

Then the Yue An casually waved his hand and yawned as he entered the private training room next to him. The door was already open.

The Second Legion's commander and the Fourth Legion's commander had an "oh wow" expression on their faces. They also walked in, leaving behind a young man who was holding five or six soft candies in his hands.

The First Legion's commander looked at the young man who was holding the soft candies and raised his hand to cover his face with a document. He couldn't bear to look at him directly.

This kind of flirting method was normal in the outside world, but in the military where there was basically no love life, it was simply flirting with success!

The First Legion's commander felt that he needed to have a chat with this young man who was so easily won over.

However, the young man carefully kept the soft candies, saluted him and greeted him. Then, he turned around and ran away without any hesitation.

"…"

The First Legion's commander took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards the training room. He pressed the doorbell.

Yue An hadn't slept for long today. In addition, he had run to the wing of the aircraft to bask in the sun for a while. After the excitement of seeing the mecha, he was now completely lazy. It was as if he didn't have any bones. The moment he entered the room, he slumped into the chair.

The Cat Spirit had a head of soft and short white fur. He looked very good in his black military uniform.

His shoulder patch and left chest did not have any insignia of honor or military rank. There was only a very simple picture of the national flower of the Sintes Empire. Golden vines wrapped around the bright red flower, which was embroidered on his black military uniform. It gave off a solemn and beautiful vibe.

Because of his good looks, his sloppy and lazy appearance in the military uniform didn't arouse any ill feelings from the two Legion's commanders.

Previously, they were observing because they had doubts. Now that their doubts were gone, the two Legion's commanders who hadn't fought with Yue An's human form were eager to give it a try.

Soldiers seemed to have a special fondness for these types of activities.

In other words, they had a special fondness for these types of activities where they had to fight with strong people.

They could use these activities to improve themselves. It was a rather good way to motivate themselves and improve themselves.

Now, among the seven Legion's commanders, only the two of them had been observing in secret. They hadn't fought with Yue An yet.

Yue An didn't want to fight. He just wanted to find a place where there was no one around and take a nap under the sun.

He looked at the two of them and thought for a moment. He raised his hand and was about to send them off with a few pieces of soft candy.

Yue An's Heaven and Earth Sleeve had reached perfection. He carried a huge amount of money and a huge amount of snacks with him.

If Ji Xiuyun hadn't stopped him, he would have hidden the mecha that reeked of money from head to toe.

He even had the mecha!

It was just a few pieces of soft candy!

Yue An waved his hand and gave each of the Legion's commanders a piece of soft candy.

Take it as a reward from me!

The Legion's commanders were speechless.

The Legion's commanders were stunned for two seconds. They were about to say something when they were interrupted by a notification from the door.

The Legion's commander of the Fourth Army glanced at the person outside the door and casually opened it.

No one knew what happened after that. One hour later, Yue An was the only one who walked out of the private training room. The three Legion's commanders were all knocked to the ground.

Yue An even sent a message to Ji Xiuyun before he ran off to find a place to take a nap under the sun.

He complained that the three Legion's commanders didn't do their jobs properly and came to pick a fight with him.

Were they that free?!

Three Legion's commanders!

How could they have the time to pick a fight at a time like this?!

After Yue An sent the message, he strolled to the spacious helipad to find a suitable place to take a nap.

He didn't feel anything about holding the position of Marshal's Deputy but not doing anything related to it.

Ji Xiuyun didn't have any work for Yue An to do in the first place.

Everyone in the army knew that the position of Marshal's Deputy didn't have any actual military work to do. This time, Marshal Kevin's adopted son had appeared out of nowhere. At first, they thought that this person was just there to gain experience and gain experience.

However, after being thrashed from top to bottom, Ji Xiuyun's subordinate legions changed their minds.

He changed from a pretty boy who was just there to gain experience and gain experience to a sharp blade with outstanding combat power.

This person probably really wanted to see blood on the battlefield. Experience was secondary.

They guessed.

In reality, Yue An just wanted to bring Ji Xiuyun around to have some fun. At this moment, he climbed onto the roof of the helipad's duty room and yawned. He lazily squinted his eyes.

The atmosphere in the entire base had been rather tense for the past few days. It was as if a great enemy was about to arrive. This made everyone extremely nervous.

Yue An didn't like this kind of tense atmosphere very much. It made his skin tense up, and even his hair was about to explode.

Yue An took off the military cap on his head and stroked his hair.

The weather was so good that cats wanted to bare their bellies and bask in the sun.

An extremely formal military deployment like this would usually be announced to the media.

When the vanguard troops set off, they would need to start building up public opinion. Usually, by the time the military officially announced the deployment to the public, the public opinion would already be quite intense.

At this time, most of the vanguard troops had already stabilized on the frontlines and had even clashed with the enemy a few times.

No matter what the cause of a war was, it was clear to the people in power as well as the people in power on either side.

However, for intelligent beings who were bound by morality and law, a lot of things had to be done with a good reason.

When there was a conflict and the media spread it, it would arouse the anger and desire for revenge. Only then would public opinion support the military's decision to deploy troops.

This was also the reason why some people in the government wanted to send Marshal Kevin on his way in exchange for an excuse to send troops to the 19th Galaxy.

Although there would definitely be people behind the scenes who opposed the war, it was fine as long as the public opinion was on the side of the military.

Three days before the deployment, the military held a public press conference. The topic was about the chaos caused by the Free Army in the 18th Galaxy and the Empire's decision to deploy troops.

Due to the uniqueness of Yue An's identity, this public press conference also included Yue An.

Although the press conference was held three days ago, the media was allowed to announce it to the public one day before the deployment.

On this day, Yue An was lazily broadcasting in Ji Xiuyun's room.

The audience in the broadcasting room was discussing Ji Xiuyun's decision to deploy troops to the 18th Galaxy.

Yue An rolled his eyes and pointed his furry butt at the camera.

In reality, Yue An had been angry at Ji Xiuyun for two days.

There was no other reason. It was because he stopped Yue An from announcing his super cute mecha name to the media.

The situation was like this.

At that time, Marshal Ji and Yue An attended the press conference. One of them liked to keep a straight face in front of the media while the other was someone who ignored strangers most of the time. In the end, the person who gave the official speech and answered the questions was basically the First Army's General.

The other two, one in black and one in white, sat at the side like two human mascots. Their expressions were exactly the same as Ji Xiuyun's.

Originally, things were supposed to go smoothly like this. Announce the decision, answer the questions, make a declaration of victory to boost morale.

Normally, this was the process.

However, the bad thing was that the media asked Yue An if he had any custom-made mecha — after all, Yue An had made a name for himself in the virtual community with the virtual version of the Silver Blade. When it came time for him to go to the battlefield, he would need a custom-made mecha. This was because a standard mecha would not be able to fully display his strength.

When Yue An heard this question, his Ji Xiuyun's cold face instantly became lively.

"Yes!" he answered. "The name is also very nice!"

When he said this, Ji Xiuyun, who was sitting beside him, felt his eyelids twitch.

After Yue An's first meow, Ji Xiuyun covered his mouth with incomparable speed, restraining his struggle. With lightning speed, he said extremely calmly and unhurriedly, "Thunderclap Ship."

The media recorded this scene as it happened.

They also played this scene as it happened.

Yue An was so angry that he didn't talk to Ji Xiuyun for two days. He also didn't meow at Ji Xiuyun.

Even when he slept, he would go to the room with the third and seventh generals. Although the latter might have suffered from cat phobia and would always chase him out or send him back to Ji Xiuyun's room in a panic when they saw his original form.

Even so, Yue An's anger had been completely conveyed to Marshal Ji.

Now, he was willing to stay in Ji Xiuyun's room because Ji Xiuyun talked to him emotionally and logically.

Seeing that Ji Xiuyun had expressionlessly repeated 'meow meow meow meow meow meow' a dozen times while explaining, the cute kitten reluctantly chose to forgive him.

Yue An looked at the recording of "Ji Xiuyun meow meow" in his optical supercomputer and felt that he was extremely righteous.
