Seeing the riot break out in the southern camp below, Zhuang Yan was so startled that he forgot all about his appearance. He immediately urged the helicopter to land in an open area, and before it had even stabilized, he jumped out.
Several regiments in this camp were under his command. If something went wrong, he would definitely be the one blamed. He had to suppress this riot before word reached the Elder Council!
Zhuang Yan's appearance amid the chaotic grounds went completely unnoticed. The riot only grew more intense, the uproar massive and deafening. No matter how Zhuang Yan shouted, "Stop!" it was useless. One soldier who was too caught up in the fight to stop even slammed into Zhuang Yan with a bang, then wiped away his sweat without so much as looking at him before viciously throwing himself back into the brawl.
People filled his vision. Fighting raged everywhere, and there were countless people with bruised and swollen faces.
Despair welled up in Zhuang Yan's heart, leaving him completely lost amid the chaos. What use was the title of southern battlefield commander-in-chief now? He could forget about earning merits. If he could not stop this riot, all he could do was wait to be demoted!
Amid the chaotic melee, Qi Kai single-handedly dealt with several people who tried to close in and attack him. They were New Humans from several other regiments. Perhaps they had fought themselves into a frenzy, but they actually dared to hit him, a general?
At the same time, Qi Kai's mind was a complete mess. He had never intended for things to become this serious, nor could he figure out how several regiments had ended up fighting one another.
He had been leisurely drinking tea in his room, waiting for Zhuang Yan
