Chapter 75
The explosive news of the blatant defection of First Army Admiral Anto Edeka quickly spread throughout the galaxy, causing a huge sensation.
The reactions of all parties are still unclear, but the royal family expressed its attitude at the first time and ordered Hilzer and Rachel to lead the army to capture them as soon as possible.
But when the order was about to be issued to the military, the old marshal stepped forward on the spot and announced the impeachment of Honorary Marshal Hilzer Monte for deceiving the emperor and attempting treason!
The impeachment was accepted immediately, and even His Majesty's orders were put on hold, and the situation fell into chaos and anxiety.
It was the middle of the night when Cize received the summons. He had just returned home with Yael and had not even had time to enter the house.
"Marshal! Something terrible has happened...!"
Bai Lang seemed to be in a state of panic as he drove the suspended car to the gate of the villa, spewing out news one after another, and each one seemed very urgent.
Xi Ze raised his hand to stop him, looked at the male insect standing at the door, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment, and finally could only say dryly.
"...Then I'm leaving. Lord, go back and get some rest."
This time it really came to a critical moment. Even if he didn't want to be too far away from Yale, he might have to separate for a while.
Sensing that there was a bug coming back at the door, the intelligent computer had already turned on the lights in the house. Warm yellow light shone through the gap in the door, lightly shrouding the male bug.
He suddenly felt reluctant to separate, and the conflict not long ago had not been resolved in time. He didn't know what the situation would be like when he came back next time. He hoped that by then... the situation would be completely stabilized.
"Are you in such a hurry?"
Yael frowned, feeling a touch of coolness on his face, then he raised his head belatedly and saw the fine snow gradually falling from the sky.
Remembering the blizzard weather forecast he saw in the afternoon, he hurriedly said "wait a moment" and quickly opened the door and walked in, not knowing what he was doing.
But soon, Yael came out again, holding a scarf in his hand. He quickly rolled it around Cecil's neck a few times and then tucked the tail into his coat.
He patted the fluffy scarf and warned the female insect, "Be careful."
Not knowing what the situation was, Yael simply said what was important and did not ask Caesar to come back early, otherwise the female insect would really stay up late to catch up with the progress just to come back to see him as soon as possible.
The pure white scarf was soft, carrying the unique caramel scent of male insects, and it blocked out all the cold wind, making me feel extremely warm and safe.
Caesar reached out and touched the surface of the scarf, and couldn't help but raise a faint smile at the corner of his lips. He leaned over and hugged Yael, rubbing his earlobe with the tip of his nose, and his voice was hoarse.
"My Lord, please remember to stay safe and stay healthy. I will be back soon."
Bai Lang, who was reporting on the side, had already stopped talking and sat in the co-pilot's seat, waiting for them to say goodbye before heading to the battlefield with the marshal.
"Leave."
Without further hesitation, Cize took a few steps back, signaled with his eyes for Yelle to go home quickly, then turned around and got on the suspended vehicle neatly, driving at high speed towards the military headquarters in the distance.
I don't know when the wind and snow started to blow outside, and they were like tiny blades, scraping the exposed skin and causing a slight stinging sensation.
Yael stood at the door for a while, staring at the scene in the air in a trance.
“Beep beep.”
The light computer on his wrist suddenly flashed red. He came back to his senses a little late and clicked on the message sent by the female insect.
[Xize: I may be away for a long time this time, so I left something for you in a box on the bedside table. You can take a look at it when you are free.]
Yer looked a little confused, but he still went back to the villa as he was told and found a small box hidden deep in the bedside cabinet of the master bedroom.
"What?"
A...chip?
He pressed the chip against the side of the optical computer, and a row of folders popped up instantly after reading. They were all ranked by date, and nothing could be seen on the surface.
Yael tried opening the first video in the first folder.
"Hmm... My Lord..."
What meets the eye is a soft honey color, with a thin layer of sweat rising and falling all over the body, occupying every inch of the video.
“?!”
Yael closed his eyes instantly, but he could still hear the deep breathing in his ears, with a sticky nasal tone and deep emotion, calling his name again and again.
She actually left something like this behind... Did she want him to be able to watch videos on the TV when she didn't have time to communicate?
He closed his laptop expressionlessly, and the female insect's voice disappeared. He squatted on the ground in a daze for a while before he realized that his face was burning.
...It's terrible.
*
"The old marshal must have arranged a secret agent in the palace, otherwise he wouldn't have received the news so early."
Bai Lang quickly reported the current situation and informed everyone of all the information he had collected.
"But he had little hesitation in impeaching you, which directly exposed this fact and will surely be hated by your Majesty."
In fact, they did not expect that the old marshal would so decisively choose Bao Anto, even under the almost unforgivable charge of treason.
He directed his fire directly at another former student, just like he had five years ago.
Ironic.
Bai Lang felt heavy-hearted for a moment, but when he looked up at the rearview mirror and found that his marshal was wearing a white velvet scarf that was incompatible with his crisp military uniform, yet extremely harmonious with it, his depression dissipated quietly.
It doesn't matter, it's all in the past tense.
The marshal already has His Majesty Yael by his side, and he will not stop at the crappy honorary title of marshal, but will ascend to a truly high position.
Bai Lang calmed himself down and asked his superior for instructions on the next course of action. "What should we do now? Do you want to ask His Majesty first?"
Xi Ze opened his eyes silently, and a sharp and extremely cold look flashed in his eyes, "No, go directly to the military headquarters."
When the suspended vehicle sped all the way to the military headquarters, we found that the base had already activated the first level of alert, and female soldiers with live ammunition had surrounded the entrance.
The New Marshals' Army, the Second Legion, and the Third and Fourth Legions were facing each other in a tense confrontation. Standing in the front was the old marshal in a tough military uniform and with a serious expression.
Seeing Caesar jump off the suspension vehicle, the tense troops immediately looked at him as if they had seen a savior. Rachel felt that the soldiers around her all breathed a sigh of relief.
Dressed in a crisp military uniform, he broke through the wind and snow, becoming the pillar of support in the hearts of countless female soldiers and the invincible legend on the battlefield.
Marshal Hall could even feel that the troops standing behind him were in chaos for a moment. Even though he was wrapped in protection from head to toe, he could not hide the fear that seeped from his bones.
He took a deep breath and cursed inwardly, "What a waste."
But no matter what he thought in his heart, he had already reached a dead end from which he could not retreat. The only way to break the impasse was to take a risky move and provoke the biggest disaster.
Xi Ze stood a few meters away from the old marshal, calmly looked into his hawk-like eyes, and nodded casually as a greeting.
"Does the Marshal have anything to say?"
Marshal Hall stared at his former student, his face showing disappointment. His lips trembled for a moment. "How did you become like this?"
Caesar was too lazy to waste words with him, so he directly urged him expresslessly, "Aren't you going to impeach me, or are you going to take it back?"
The female soldier opposite him was so angry that her chest rose and fell for a moment, her expression turned cold, and she stopped talking nonsense.
"Marshal Monte, I want to impeach you for killing your compatriots, deceiving the emperor, and attempting treason! The impeachment will be accepted immediately. During this period, you must accept the investigation. Don't try to clear your name!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire base suddenly became tense. After all, impeachment was no small matter, and it even had the highest authority that was higher than His Majesty's orders.
The soldiers of the Third and Fourth Corps were about to come forward to arrest them, but the New Marshal's Army, who were confronting them, took a step forward without showing any weakness and was about to stand in front of their own marshal, but Xize raised his hand to stop them.
"Well, Marshal Hall, I am now officially notifying you that you are harboring traitors, obstructing military orders, and attempting treason."
The female soldier stood upright with a calm expression, yet she looked like a sharp blade being slowly drawn from its sheath, revealing an extremely sharp and determined aura.
He stared at Marshal Hall's slightly changed expression and spoke clearly, "The impeachment will be accepted immediately. All actions taken during this period will be invalid, and you have no right to imprison me."
The base was in a dead silence, with only the sound of the wind and snow howling.
Xi Ze smiled slightly.
He tried hard to force Antoine to betray him and confused many of the people involved in the game. However, when the real intention came into view, all of them suddenly realized that the muzzle of the gun had been aimed at Marshal Hall from the beginning to the end.
Or rather, he was aiming for the true position of marshal.
He held in his hands countless shocking evidences, all of which were the dirty tricks accumulated by the military over the years. Countless people had participated in them, either actively or passively, and had committed one terrible mistake after another.
Those were the mountains of ironclad evidence, the charges against these gang members in their verdicts, and also the basis for his comeback.
What he wanted was never to take revenge on a particular enemy, but to uproot this abnormal tree and cut off all the rotten branches that grew across it.
Destroy and then rebuild, never stop until death.
"you......!"
Marshal Hall's expression was stiff and his eyes gradually darkened.
"Take care of yourself."
Caesar nodded at him, took a step back and made a gesture, and the New Marshal's Army and the Second Army followed him in a well-trained manner, smoothly withdrawing from the tense confrontation.
…
The situation suddenly escalated into a split and decisive battle between the two major military forces. The main planet suddenly became a mess, government agencies fell into a semi-paralyzed state, and the media went crazy, asking for first-hand information from all parties.
Yael was quickly protected by the army that was sent over, but his freedom was not restricted. It was just that no matter where he went, there were countless people watching him to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The villa is a safe area, with strict surveillance outside, but sometimes it is too quiet.
“…”
Yael tossed and turned in bed for a long time but still couldn't fall asleep.
There was no light on in the room, only the faint moonlight silently poured in, making the room seem too empty and lonely. The other half of the quilt was cold, with only a faint trace of bitter air remaining.
The female insect has been gone for two weeks. I don’t know if it has been restricted in some way, but there is no way to communicate at all, and there is no other channel to deliver messages.
After thinking about it, Yael got up and found the special communicator given to him by the female insect from the bedside table. It was said to be the latest product developed with first-class protection and encryption levels.
But after stroking the surface of the communicator for a long time, he put it back.
Forget it. I don't know what the situation is over there. If I call over there rashly, something bad might happen.
Falling back on the bed, Yael stared at the ceiling for a while, then thought of the last message from the female insect, and murmured, "Do I really have to watch those little videos to comfort myself?"
He endured the heat on his face and opened the row of folders on the computer. He had already watched the first video, which was a female insect stroking its own tail. Now let’s take a look at... the second one.
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
The subtle sound of water immediately filled my ears. The screen brightness had been turned down very low, but I could still see the swaying figure inside.
It is a half-kneeling posture with its back to the camera. The female insect is stretching its hands behind its back. During the movement, you can see the tense arm muscles, the smooth shoulder and back lines, and the waist swaying up and down.
"!"
Yael subconsciously turned his back to the window, and covered his head with the quilt like a thief. He turned down the screen and watched quietly in the small space.
The location should be in the master bedroom, but when was the video taken? Did the female insect anticipate that they would be separated for a long time, so she took the video in advance?
It's still morning...
The video was twenty minutes long. After watching a little bit, Yael knew what the latter part was about. He was also a little curious about the contents of the other videos, so he continued to open the next one.
The first thing he saw was the shirt he often wore. It was of a very ordinary style and color, but there was a small flower embroidery on the collar, which made it recognizable at a glance.
The shirt was a little loose on him, but still narrow for a female.
So Caesar put it over his face, pressing his bony fingers against the surface of the shirt and moving the thin fabric back and forth like an animal sniffing a scent.
"My Lord..."
His whole body was drenched in a thin layer of sweat and looked warm. Under the sunlight, it seemed as if a layer of rich honey was flowing through him, emitting a fragrant and sweet scent.
“Hmm…ah…”
Light gasps lingered in his ears, making Yael feel even more ashamed than before, as if it wasn't just his shirt that had been touched innocently, but also himself outside the screen had been touched in the same way.
This video is shorter than the previous ones. It may be because with the male insect's breath around, I was comforted and soothed more quickly and fell into it very easily.
The shirt was in a mess, crumpled and spread out on the bed, looking as if it had been badly ravaged...which it was.
No wonder he hadn't seen it in the past two days. It turned out that it had been killed and its body was destroyed.
“……!”
Yael felt a little suffocated in the quilt, so he quickly pulled down the quilt and took a deep breath. He touched his cheeks and found that they were very hot. He didn't know if it was because he was stuffy or something else.
Seeing that it was already very late, he wanted to restrain himself from putting down the laptop and going to sleep, but after closing his eyes for a while, he couldn't help but watch all the remaining videos.
Good, very exciting.
Finally, I turned to the last folder, and the videos inside were all more than ten seconds long, and the cover was not pure black. It looked more like they were taken casually.
Without thinking too much, Yael tried to click on the first video.
“…”
The video was dark and one had to look very carefully to hear faint breathing sounds. The person filming the video seemed to be adjusting the brightness, and soon the shaky picture stabilized and became clearer.
The screen depicted a sleeping face in the middle. The face looked completely relaxed, with disheveled hair scattered on the pillow, and only the eyelashes that occasionally trembled were visible.
Yael recognized himself at the first sight.
"…Falling asleep, so cute."
The video was only ten seconds long. In the last two seconds, Caesar couldn't help but reach out and poke his face, letting out a short, breathless chuckle.
It turned out to be this kind of content.
He was stunned for a moment, then clicked on the next video.
The lighting in this video is much brighter, and the female insect seems to be adjusting the camera. You can see the enlarged slender fingers and the familiar living room background behind it.
“Huff, huff, huff—”
A huge roar sounded from the video, and it sounded familiar. Before Yael could figure out what it was, he heard his own voice coming from inside.
"Caesar?!"
The hands consciously clenched the laptop in their hands and walked over quickly. The camera bumped around and arrived at the bathroom. The whirring sound became louder and more familiar.
Wait, this seems to be when he first arrived at the villa——
Sure enough, the next second, his face appeared in the camera, with that familiar frizzy hair.
Yel finally remembered.
At that time, the program of the automatic dryer seemed to be messed up. It was turned on to the highest hot air setting. The wind blowing the wool was not that strong, and it directly blew the wool into pieces.
It's curly, fluffy and frizzy, and looks like a marshmallow on his head. Coupled with that look of despair in his eyes, it looks very comedic.
...Help me, how could Xi Ze keep this dark history?
Yer, both inside and outside the video, covered his face, feeling as if he had been stabbed in the knee by a boomerang from six months ago.
He lay flat for a long time before he ignored this strange dark history and continued to flip through the small video below with some difficulty.
They are basically some very short life clips, and the protagonist in them is all him, taking a nap, concentrating on work, tasting new desserts and dishes, and occasionally lazing on the sofa.
There are about seven or eight videos, which were shot randomly with a computer and are not organized in any way. However, they should have a special place to be placed. It feels like they were put here by mistake.
“…”
As Yael watched, he suddenly felt a little dazed.
When he lived in Etar, he had already gotten used to his strange state. He woke up uneventfully every day, and when he washed his face, he would unsurprisingly see dark circles under his eyes, a tired expression, and rigid movements.
I spent the whole day doing the same things as yesterday, eating the same meals and taking the same medicines, then lying down on the bed numbly to start brewing sleepiness for the night, and then continuing the next day.
He has been living like this for more than a year, and he can't say he has adapted or gotten used to it. He even thought that he would live like this until he could no longer bear it and then make up his mind to end his life.
But the him in the video is very different from the one in my memory. He is like cotton that has been carefully patted and fluffed up and dried in the warm sunshine. It is easy for him to float to various places and become soft. He is more leisurely and relaxed than ever before.
He didn't expect that he would also have that kind of expression, vivid, lively, with healthy flesh and blood, and a soul full and free.
After a long silence, Yael threw the laptop aside and covered his head with the quilt.
He tried to sleep again, but he felt more and more conscious. The unique scent of female insects lingered at his nose between the quilts, making his empty body seem too cold.
…You shouldn’t watch videos before going to bed. The more you watch, the harder it is to fall asleep.
Those videos didn't comfort him or help him fall asleep; they only made him miss the female insect more.
I don't know what the situation is now, but the best news is that there is no news. There is no news of a war anywhere, and the female insect should not be injured again where he can't see it.
Hope this matter can be over soon.
With this thought in mind, Yermo stayed under the quilt for a long time and fell asleep in a daze.
…
A few days later, the eldest prince brought accurate inside information, indicating that the investigation was more than halfway done, and that what they had in their hands was coming in handy, and things had taken a big turn for the better.
After a few days, the blockade seemed to be relaxed, allowing the media to get some information.
"It was planned! Behind Marshal Monte's sudden return..."
"Marshal Hall was investigated, and they actually found out about his black business?!"
"Two great marshals impeached each other just because of a bug? ! Click to see the military secrets of that year!"
Yael sat on a chair in the lab, frowning as he scrolled through the messages on his computer. He was dazzled by the news push. "What a mess this is."
He casually clicked on the gossip about military secrets and quickly skimmed through it. The entire article only repeated one theme over and over again:
The two outstanding students were from the same teacher, but for unknown reasons they received different treatments and now have different destinies.
As expected, this is the usual style of the entertainment media. They just stated this fact in a hasty manner without explaining the reasons behind it. It is like flooding a golden mountain and wasting thousands of words.
Yael knew that the old marshal was Caesar's former teacher, and he also knew that they had actually parted ways a long time ago, and this time they had completely torn their faces apart.
But when he asked why she was being treated so harshly, the female insect was obviously very confused. After thinking for a while, she could only whisper that maybe they had different paths and naturally they would not conspire with each other.
At that time, Xi Ze's expression was very calm, but his spiritual sensitivity could capture the sadness that was not hidden well. Maybe he said that he didn't care, but he was actually a little sad.
"Your Majesty? Are you ready?"
Adelaide knocked lightly on the door, signaling Yael to come back to his senses.
He was wearing a brand new white coat, a micro-pouch on his waist, and even gold-rimmed glasses for the first time, and it was obvious that he was well prepared for this academic exchange meeting.
“…Okay.”
Yael closed his laptop, straightened his collar, stood up, picked up the data, and went out with Adelaide.
This academic exchange meeting is jointly organized by several universities and is on a large scale. Many respected seniors in the industry will be present, and even the Imperial Institute has been invited to observe and provide guidance.
“Beep beep.”
The optical computer flashed red twice, and Yael's ears moved sharply. He immediately opened the message board and saw the female insect's message of safety unexpectedly.
【Xize: Everything went well, I will be home soon. 】
As Adelaide was walking, he realized that the bug was gone. He turned around and saw Yael standing by the door looking at his laptop. He couldn't help laughing while replying to messages, and he was obviously in a good mood.
"Your Majesty?" He asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
After hearing the voice, Yael closed his laptop and took a few quick steps to catch up with him. The smile in his eyes almost overflowed and his voice was cheerful.
"It's okay, the exchange meeting is about to start, let's go."
The author has something to say:
Committed to leaving behind videos that can be remembered (?)
Yeah, you little juice, you eat so well (akimbo)
