Chapter 78
"The training shouldn't be over yet. Let's go in first and go back together when you get off work."
After hugging for a while, Yael sniffed, let go of the female insect, and pulled him to the training ground. If he stood there stupidly for a few more minutes, both insects would be buried in the snow.
"What happened just now? I remember you said you would stay in the lab until eleven o'clock, why did you come here suddenly..."
Caesar was pulled into the door obediently, but he was not fooled by him and asked in a low voice.
The training ground had a constant temperature system and was much more comfortable than outside. Yelle breathed a sigh of relief and patted the snow off his head.
"I'll tell you later."
Although this matter is outrageous, it is of great importance and the female insect still needs to be informed. Preventing accidents in advance is one thing, and making one's attitude clear is another.
Yael couldn't help but sigh when he thought that Cesar might have been troubled by this for a long time, hiding his sadness from him, and even coming up with the idea of laying eggs for him to keep him.
"Let's go, don't we have a training mission?"
…
Because Yer wanted to observe real training, the female insect placed him in a spectator seat with an excellent view. He held a blanket and held hot water, watching the wailing scene below.
In a sense, Xi Ze is really strict and fierce.
If they fail to meet the requirements, they will try again and again, and even continue to challenge their physical limits. After training once, there is no military female who will not shed a layer of skin, but they can also become stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Hmm…”
Yael took a sip of hot water tentatively and carefully observed the training ground below.
Because of the rebellion of the First Legion, Marshal Hall was suspended for investigation, and the military fell into the hands of Cizek. The training requirements for all soldiers were directly aligned with the highest standards.
The military girls who had been following Xi Ze for many years were already accustomed to this kind of intensity. The Second Army Corps could barely keep up because of its many field missions to annihilate waves of alien beasts. Only the Third and Fourth Armies were completely at the bottom.
He looked at the female insects from the third and fourth armies who were howling and trying their best to catch up.
I strongly suspect that these female insects were not so docile before, and most likely they had been severely beaten.
"Fuck, I'm not going to teach you any more! We are female insects, not animals! I'm fucking...!!!"
As if she really couldn't bear it anymore, a female insect from the third army suddenly threw off her military cap and collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud, breathing heavily and swearing incoherently.
The other female insects gave him sympathetic looks, and even the female insects in the third army did not dare to stop to show their support or protest, but continued their training in silence.
A pair of black military boots stopped in front of her eyes. The female insect stopped cursing for a moment, and her originally desperate expression gradually solidified, and then turned into a little bit of fear.
call--
The water was hot, and Yael blew on the surface, dispersing the floating mist for a moment.
When he looked down again, the female insect that had been cursing had already picked up her military cap and was crawling away to continue her training, working even harder than before the collapse.
Well, it's really fierce.
…
The training ends with a mecha battle.
Many female soldiers were already exhausted and dragged their companions to the energy cabin. Some who were too lazy to queue chose to go home directly. Anyway, with the female soldiers' recovery ability, they would be fine after a good sleep.
Yael put his things away in advance, and without waiting for Xize to get off the mecha, he went straight into the empty training ground.
The silver-blue mecha had already transformed into a form that was convenient for combat and was now standing in the middle of the field. It was similar to the mecha he had imagined, and even more shocking than that.
The mecha that could tear an S-class alien beast apart with bare hands half-knelt down, carefully held Yelle in its palm, passed through the slowly opening hatch on its chest, and placed him in the cockpit.
“Hmm…!”
Yael stepped on the cabin door to steady himself and got away from the huge hands made of countless machines. Just when he felt a little unstable, a pair of strong arms grabbed his waist.
His feet slipped and he fell heavily into the female insect's arms. His back was completely enveloped by the extremely soft and thick embrace of the hot and familiar breath.
The cabin door slowly closed, blocking out the bright lights outside. Inside the cockpit, only a flowing silver-blue light and the intertwining breathing in the dimness remained.
"It's itchy, relax a little..."
Yael couldn't help laughing intermittently. He turned around with difficulty in the female insect's arms and sat squeezed in the narrow cabin. Because of his special posture, he was taller than the female insect.
He took off his military cap and held it in his hand, then leaned over to look into the female insect's eyes. After staring at each other for a while, he bent down and kissed the tip of her tall nose.
"My Lord... um..."
As if touched by that intimate touch, Xize's Adam's apple rolled up and down for a while, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was already hoarse, with a bit of nostalgia and sticky nasal tone.
"Do you want it?"
Yael smelled the pheromones of the female insects and clearly sensed their longing feelings, but he deliberately pointed out those hidden thoughts directly.
I have been bullied too much before, but my conservatism and reserve are ingrained in my bones.
Every time, he tried his best to make the taciturn female insect's ears blush, and she would hesitate and open herself up to say that she wanted it.
"My lord... kiss here..."
Perhaps it was because of the wrong place and occasion, and an inexplicable shame prevented Caesar from asking directly, and instead he whispered and begged for a soothing kiss.
The female insect had no defensiveness at all, and like a snow leopard, she spontaneously exposed her soft belly and hummed to indicate that it was time to be caressed.
——It had no idea that the keeper was full of bad thoughts and was determined to give it a good beating.
"Kiss here? Where is this place?"
Yael deliberately made things difficult for him. The female insect hesitated for a while and could not tell clearly where he wanted to be kissed, but the ears under her hair gradually turned red.
Not getting the answer he wanted, he stood up, holding on to the armrests on both sides, and moved a little further away from the female insect, "Tell me, where do you want me to kiss?"
"Dear..." Caesar closed his eyes tightly and was about to give an answer, but was interrupted by Yael on purpose.
"Forget it, I don't want to kiss you today, let's talk about it later."
He raised his eyebrows, with a hint of malice in his eyes. "We've been dragging on this step for too long. Let's just skip it."
Xi Ze tightened his grip on Yael's hand, and after a long while he lowered his eyes and hummed, a hint of grievance hidden under his expression.
Yael had developed a heart of steel and would not be easily soft-hearted again. He reached out and pinched the female insect's cheek.
"In the mecha cabin, okay?"
He chuckled, asked cautiously, and put the military cap back on the female insect.
…
After getting the promise, things became out of control.
The female insect's military cap was a little askew, revealing some messy hair, making her look both serious and frivolous.
He doesn't seem like the stern and strict boss just now, but rather a troublemaker who needs to be taught a lesson.
Yael observed the female insect's expression and kept increasing his strength, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily, with occasional sudden attacks, aiming to catch the insect off guard and do what he wanted.
"Are you comfortable?"
He leaned down close to the female insect's ear and chuckled evilly.
"Tell me, what would the expressions of those female officers who are in awe or fear of you be like if they knew that their superiors did these things in such a serious situation on the training ground?"
The female insect had been completely trapped in the driver's seat. She was being bullied to the point that her breathing became rapid and disorderly, the tips of her ears were red, and her whole body was tense.
"He was so fierce during training, and a single look could scare an insect to death. But after work, he was more lazy than anyone else. He went soft after a kiss, and he couldn't help himself even in the training ground..."
"No, that's not the case... I'm not doing my job..."
But the space inside the mecha cabin was small, and the female insect had no way to stretch its body. It could only maintain an awkward posture stiffly and be bullied by him. It hastily covered its face with the back of its hand, but the tips of its ears turned red.
Yael raised his eyebrows slightly and withdrew his hand from touching him, allowing the female insect to be tortured by the strange feeling and unable to bear it, and wanted to take back the hand that had just been domineering.
"Isn't that so? Then why did you stand up and chase my hand?"
He lowered his eyes to look at Xi Ze's expression. Although the corners of his lips could not help but rise, his tone was very cold.
The female insect, with dimmed eyes, woke up with fright and shook her head in panic to deny it.
"I'm sorry, it's... because it feels so good, so..."
Yael's Adam's apple rolled for a moment, his eyes lit up with a smile, and he continued to ask.
"So you wanted me the moment you saw me - even at the training ground, right?"
"Yes, yes, as soon as I saw the Lord..."
The voice lingering in the ear is low and hoarse, with a sticky nasal tone, and wet, like crying or too comfortable, the voice is trembling.
It's fun to bully him.
"!"
The movement was too large and my elbow accidentally hit my tendon.
Yael had no choice but to slow down, but before he could adjust his posture, he was held in the arms of the female insect.
Xize was breathing heavily, and he reached out and pressed somewhere under the seat. The backrest quickly lay flat, and the space suddenly became much more spacious.
"Where did you get hit? Does it hurt?"
Being messed up and noticing whether he was hurt, Yael touched his meager conscience, felt a vague sense of guilt, coughed softly, and stood up.
"Nothing happened. Okay, okay. I won't tease you anymore."
"If we do this in there, the mecha shouldn't be shaken up, right? There should be a shockproof mechanism."
He moved his sore wrists and told the female insect some very scattered thoughts, constantly challenging the female insect's bottom line of shame.
"...I don't think this is a good idea. It's okay if it happens once in a while, but don't make it a habit. Otherwise, every time you drive a mecha, you will subconsciously think of this feeling, which will affect your operation."
Realizing the hidden meaning of those words, a strong sense of shame spread throughout his body. Caesar turned his head sharply and bit the button on the cuff of his coat, leaving a tooth mark on it.
“呃……嗯唔！”
結束了。
耶爾累癱在雌蟲懷裏，被按揉着酸痛的肩膀和手腕。
突然想起來什麽，他支棱了一下，“這裏能自動清除氣味嗎？”
他只是想要玩一玩，不是真的想社死。
“可以的。”
西澤啞聲道，一只手抱着他起身，另一只手不知道按了一下哪裏。
機甲內強大的循環通風系統頓時發揮作用，将氣味一掃而空。
耶爾放下心來，又躺回雌蟲懷裏去，舒服得蹭來蹭去。
……等等，差點忘了正事。
想起自己過來時的最初目标，他安靜躺了一會醞釀該怎麽說，在雌蟲的手撫摸到後頸時突然開口。
“我剛才差點就回到【地球】去了。”
那兩個字是用那邊的話說的，西澤的動作頓了一下。
等反應過來這句話是什麽意思，他瞳孔驟縮，猛地将耶爾抱在了懷裏。
禁锢住他的手收斂不住力道，将肩膀和腰那一塊按得有點痛。
耶爾的鼻子猝不及防磕到了雌蟲堅硬的肩膀，一陣酸澀襲來。
“只是差一點，沒有真的回去！”
但感覺到雌蟲的身體正在顫抖，他顧不上自己的鼻子，連忙安撫地伸手拍了拍雌蟲，強調自己并沒有回去這個事實。
等雌蟲似乎平靜了一點，耶爾低聲将剛才的事告訴他，包括昏厥和那種奇異的感覺。
“上次出現這種波動，是因為做了精神力疏導當晚，然後就是剛才，而我白天的時候也使用了很多精神力。”
他很快将幾次不對勁串聯了起來，合理推測了一番。
“我猜應該有一條界限在那裏，雖然精神力很多可以随便使用，但超過一定數值就會産生共振，那扇門或者說回去的通道就會打開。”
“雄主為什麽不回去？”
一道沙啞的聲音在耳邊響起，禁锢住身體的力道輕了些。
将臉埋在頸側的雌蟲微微擡起頭，神情隐藏在昏暗中，看不太清楚。
為什麽不回去？
耶爾微微怔住。
這個問題他也問過自己，當時腦子裏閃過很多念頭，回去了會怎麽樣，不回去又怎麽樣，但最終穩穩拉住他的，只有一句話。
他的聲音很輕，“我回去了，你怎麽辦呢？”
西澤的身體猛地一震，随後倒吸了一口涼氣，像是懸于頭頂的刀終于落下，在幾近絕望的瞬間發現那刀刃居然是軟的——
劫後餘生，戰栗不已。
“你也真是的，既然知道了就趕緊告訴我啊，自己在那傷心地猜來猜去……如果想要我留下來，直接表明态度就好了。”
耶爾抱住他晃了晃，耳邊被雌蟲慌亂震動的心跳填滿，語氣認真地道。
“就說，不能走，留下來陪我，想走就把你關起來。”
西澤咬緊牙關，喉結劇烈滾動着，不斷深呼吸想要忍住襲上眼眶的酸澀熱意，卻還是沒忍住模糊了視野。
“我不想……”
他的喉嚨腫脹，在開口時聲音艱澀而沙啞，“我不想讓您覺得為難。”
怎麽會有這麽傻的……
耶爾無聲嘆了口氣。
“是啊，我可能确實會比較為難，但那是我的想法，你的想法呢？你想不想我留下來？”
雌蟲肯定是想的，不然怎麽會又要學中文又要生蛋的，是想增加一點“籌碼”吧，覺得這樣才不至于在面臨選擇時那麽快被丢掉。
西澤僵硬了一會，還是選擇了遵從內心，低聲道，“……想要您留下來，不要回去。”
“對呀，你要告訴我，我才知道你是怎麽想的。”
耶爾安撫地拍了拍他的背，故意誇張了一下語氣。
“而且門後面都不知道是什麽東西，說不定一走過去我就真的死了呢！這個說不準的，風險太大了，我還不如安安分分留在這裏。”
說不遺憾是假的，但相比一個虛無缥缈的希望，還是此刻切切實實抱着他的雌蟲更為重要，更讓他無法割舍。
耶爾清了清嗓子，一邊來回撫摸雌蟲的脊背，一邊将話題引向另一個方向。
“我現在只能努力控制不适用太多精神力，之後再想想其他有效的辦法，你有什麽想法嗎？”
西澤很快調整好呼吸，将雄蟲放開後用力擦了一下臉，似乎有些不好意思，低着頭不讓耶爾看他的臉，将那塊芯片拿了出來。
“這是什麽？”
耶爾微微睜大眼睛，拿起那塊結構精密的小芯片，察覺到了一股極其堅硬而強大的波動。
西澤将那塊東西按在雄蟲的腕骨上，那塊芯片瞬間就融入了皮膚，沒有一絲異物感。
“這是最新研發出來的，可以瞬間察覺空間波動，然後彈出……”
他簡單解釋了一下其中的原理，又笨拙地找補了幾句。
“雖然是之前就準備好的，但不想用這個牢籠困住您，所以一直沒用。”
耶爾轉了轉手腕，聞言輕笑一聲。
“好吧，現在是我允許你困住我。”
機甲艙內仍然一片昏暗，只能勉強看清西澤的臉。
他低垂着眼沉默，眼尾似乎有些微紅，看起來仍然心事重重。
心髒好像陷下去一塊，耶爾擡臉湊近雌蟲，在那抿起的唇邊落下一個吻，輾轉着輕輕研磨。
“剛才沒有親親，現在補回來。”
“……好。”
西澤便顧不上其他，紅着眼回應他的親吻，認真又小心。
親着親着，耶爾突然又支棱起來，左右看了一眼。
“訓練場應該沒有那種熱感應監控吧，可以看到我們在裏面做什麽的那種。”
“……”
*
那之後的第二天，霍爾被正式撤去職位，元帥之位暫時空缺，全部職權和公務皆由希爾澤·蒙特代理。
“恭喜，等大皇子殿下上位，或者不用那麽久，等安托那家夥被抓回來，你就能順理成章當上元帥了。”
元帥辦公室內，一塊屏幕投射在不遠處的地板上，裏面正襟危坐的蟲正是第二軍上将雷契爾。
取得了很大的勝利，他一臉放松，細數了一下還需要對付的勢力。
“接下來最重要的還是搞掉公爵府，順便清算不幹不淨很多年的……”
真的很快了，事态比他們想象的還要明朗。
“不過你要小心，我剛剛才查到，在你回歸着手制約之前，謝家有大批殺傷力很強的軍火流入灰色地帶，不知道是被誰給偷運走了。”
軍雌的表情嚴肅下去，顯然對此憂心忡忡。
“再往深已經挖不到了，只能提前預防，一定要小心不能着了道。”
一只白色的貓咪跳到他頭頂，慵懶地打了個哈欠，然後就賴在那不走了，雙色眼瞳睥睨地看着通訊。
西澤将那些資料分類整理好，聞言頭都沒擡，語氣很淡地道，“我知道。”
想起不久前收繳的一批爛賬，他皺了皺眉，坦誠了目前的困境。
“不管怎麽說，我都缺失了整整五年的時間，很多東西就算想追究也很難了，越往前推進，越是能感覺到信息的混亂和空白。”
“叛變和彈劾其實還戳不到那些貴族的痛點，不過是失去軍部的力量罷了，還有更多可以暗中發展的産業，正在源源不斷地蔓延滋生。”
雷契爾想到最近頻頻傳來的捷報，對他的悲觀不太贊同。
“可他們終究是急了，很多甚至不得已斷尾求生，我們取得了很大的勝利。”
西澤将資料合上，往後靠在椅背上，不置可否。
“是啊，最近的動作大了不少，沒掩飾好被捉到的尾巴也多了——而且維托閣下最近來找雄主的次數大大增加。”
不僅是軍部的淪陷，甚至連他們引以為傲的貴族身份，那張已經發展了數百年無比嚴密地下網也被動搖，開始出現一個個破口。
貴族的引領者從來都是選出來的，從小便浸淫其中，和暗網牽涉最深，不需要什麽敏銳的頭腦和智商，只需要心夠髒夠黑。
但耶爾的橫空出世打破了這個局面。
那些從來被扼殺被壓抑的新興力量找到了引領者，逐漸形成了和老牌貴族抗争的力量。
“源頭……是那場為耶爾冕下設的拍賣會？”
雷契爾視線往旁邊一瞥，看到了辦公桌上雄蟲的照片，恍然間好像明白了什麽。
那場拍賣會的轟動他也有所耳聞，那是貴族第一次将敵我勢力區分得如此清楚，讓所有搖擺不定的力量看到了其中的懸殊——
S級雄蟲冕下誕生的那一刻，結局似乎早已注定。
“最近一定要小心。”
西澤也看向面前的相框，裏面放着的照片正是耶爾發給他的自拍。
他專注地凝視着照片，近乎無聲地道，“絕不能讓他們鑽了空子。”
挂了通訊，雷契爾同情了一秒這個點還在加班的希爾澤。
下一刻，他将頭上的小貓抱下來，熟練地埋在那軟乎乎的肚皮裏，一通狂吸。
“烏咪烏咪烏咪烏咪……這是誰家的小貓咪呀？這麽可愛的小貓咪是要被一口吃掉的！”
他沉醉地吸了一會貓，突然有些傷感，若是自己死了，這一屋子小可愛不知道該何去何從，實在凄涼。
"Well, if something happens to me, you must take good care of yourself - although I have arranged a way out for each of you, I really can't rest assured about those rubbish foster children!"
Rachel complained angrily, his hand that was petting the cat suddenly stopped, and a thought flashed through his mind, making him suddenly feel sad.
Bullets have no eyes. The life and death of female soldiers can never be controlled. They never know when they will die on the battlefield.
If he died, these kittens would have a place to go, but if something happened to Hilzer...
He shook his head violently, laughing at himself for worrying so much.
His Majesty Yael is a male insect! He is always surrounded by female insects, whether they are powerful or beautiful and docile. He has everything he wants. He will not do anything for a military female.
The movement of his hands stopped for a long time, and the cat, who was being served comfortably, suddenly became unhappy. After wagging his tail, he walked away leisurely with graceful steps.
"Suck, suck, suck... Mimi, why are you ignoring me? I didn't really mean to ignore you just now, good cat, kiss, kiss, kiss..."
Rachel came back to her senses suddenly, rushed over, hugged the cat in her arms, and stroked it wildly.
…
It was 2:10 that evening.
The emperor of the empire died suddenly, and the news reached everyone at the first opportunity.
Before many insects could react, two forces that wanted to seize power quickly gathered outside the palace and engaged in an extremely tense confrontation, with neither side refusing to give in.
No one knew who fired the first shot, but it hit His Highness Kano who was speaking out loudly, and the battle quickly escalated into a bloody fight.
Ten minutes later, the destructive weapon buried under the palace exploded——!!!
The explosion lit up the sky for a hundred miles, most of the palace was razed to the ground, and countless people were killed and injured.
The two princes, Marshal Monte, and several ministers were all affected because they were too close, and Prince Felix died on the spot.
——The news is blocked——
