Chapter 84
“Ouch, ouch, it hurts…”
The little female insect curled up in the corner sobbed, blowing on her bleeding knees while crying, and trembled from time to time because of the sound of artillery fire.
But for a moment, it seemed as if everything in my ears suddenly quieted down.
It was as if a mighty spring breeze penetrated my body, melting away the cold and pain, and taking away the fear and despair.
He stopped crying in a daze, looked up at the sky, and found that at some point, those densely packed and surging "clouds" seemed to have faded a little and were no longer so scary.
on the top floor.
Yael closed his eyes, feeling the storm of mental power brewing in his palms.
From a small piece, it gradually grew and expanded, pouring out like a mighty wave.
Those pure spiritual powers came from the spiritual picture, but that was just an introduction. The spiritual power between heaven and earth seemed to sense the call and rushed into the sea like thousands of streams and rivers.
"hiss--!"
A monster had already landed on the rooftop. It had an ugly face, and several twisting tentacles popped out from its mouth that was split behind its ears.
“Bang bang bang bang bang!!”
But before it could get close to Yelle, the alien beast was shot down by the female soldiers who were guarding nearby. However, the alien beasts were endless, and the small force gradually showed signs of fatigue.
"We're running out of ammunition! Your Majesty...?!"
The breeze blew the hair on his forehead. Yael still closed his eyes and felt the fluctuations in the air. After noticing the movement, he paid a little attention.
"Don't move."
His voice was low and hoarse, and before he finished speaking, the invisible wave suddenly spread out.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
An almost sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out, and thousands of long needles of mental power were fired in an instant.
All the hundreds of alien beasts that had surrounded them were blown away, and a large area of empty space was cleared out like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
The god who harvested lives chuckled with ease, his face showing a calm and peaceful expression.
"Stay away, be careful not to hurt you by mistake."
Then, Yael's expression froze slightly, and he raised his hands with his palms facing upwards, as if he was supporting himself with a huge pressure.
The majestic mental power expanded outward, forming an invisible protective shield. After covering the vast sky before it, it continued to expand outward, and in a blink of an eye, it enveloped half of the planet.
Bang!
BANG BANG BANG BANG!!
The mental defense continued to rise, and countless monsters were caught off guard and crashed into it. Their heads exploded like rotten watermelons, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.
The protective shield finally got into place, and when it was stopped, many of the alien beasts lying on it were blown away.
Yael groaned and his face turned pale.
He tried hard to hold back the fishy-sweet taste in his throat, and felt a stream of warmth flowing out from his ears, down his neck, and staining the collar of his white shirt red.
"Shield! Is the shield repaired?!"
A bug inadvertently raised its head and saw the scene in front of it, and immediately cried out in surprise.
"No, that's not right! It's rising! It doesn't look like a shield..."
Some insects calmed down, observed carefully, raised their heads following the strange fluctuations, and saw a blurry white figure, and their eyes widened immediately.
"That looks like His Majesty! It's His Majesty who is using his mental power to protect us!!"
A loud roar came from nowhere, awakening all the bewildered insects. They raised their heads one after another and looked up at the rooftop.
They saw that tall and straight figure standing in the middle of a raging storm, unshakable like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, bringing them an unprecedented sense of security.
Many male insects that were under strict protection were also attracted and came to the window. Just one look at the figure in the distance made them feel a powerful wave that made their souls tremble.
"Oh my god, what a magnificent spiritual power! I have never seen such a vast spiritual power, as if it were the boundless ocean and sky..."
Amid the cheers of people crying with joy, there were also many whispers of shock. The nobles hiding under the small protective shields looked at each other for a moment, then shook their heads with wry smiles.
"Your Majesty used half an hour to drain a month's worth of fluids. I thought that was amazing, but it was just a piece of cake for Your Majesty."
"The shield is able to protect the entire planet, and even has to withstand attacks from waves of aliens and pirates... It's terrifyingly powerful."
That scene was broadcast live by war correspondents and news outlets, and was continuously broadcast across the planet, comforting countless panicked residents.
That figure suddenly became like a savior in times of crisis.
"Is this the legendary S-rank male insect crown?"
The female queen held the cub in her arms, watching the news projection in the living room, and asked Vito in amazement, "You actually prevented a disaster with your mental power. That's amazing."
"yes."
Vito turned around and looked at the blurry figure on the screen and couldn't help but chuckled.
"After this incident, His Majesty Yael's reputation will surely reach a terrifying level."
"With His Majesty Augsger, Marshal Monte, and His Majesty Yell here, reform will no longer face resistance. No matter how much those stubborn people argue, they can't stop the empire from moving on a new path."
…
The noise outside seemed to be dying down.
Lansmin noticed something sharply and her expression changed slightly.
Click.
His ears caught a slight sound and he turned his head sharply, only to see the corpses of guards who had been cleared out in the corridor behind him.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong now.
Lance immediately took off the police uniforms and weapons from the guards, quickly disguised himself, and planned to escape silently from the side door.
He had already made arrangements for his escape route.
There are several small jump ships parked at the starport, which can escape from the main star quietly in the chaos if the situation changes.
Cano had already gone there in advance and had more real-time information than him. If there was really something wrong, he should have escaped long ago, so there was no need to worry.
He walked silently through the winding corridor and headed towards the side door according to the direction in his memory.
“Squeak.”
A faint sound was heard, and invisible sunlight suddenly poured in.
Lance was pushing the door with one hand and holding his weapon with the other, but he was caught off guard and stabbed in the eye.
He hadn't seen the sun for a long time and almost forgot what clear sunlight looked like. The sun warmly wrapped around his outstretched arms, making his overly fair skin look almost blue.
Lance was in a trance for a moment, and the next second——
"Well!"
A huge force suddenly pulled the door open, and then a leg kicked over at a tricky angle, breaking the hand holding the weapon with a snap!
The laser gun was kicked away, and he was pressed to the ground with several guns pointed at his head, unable to move.
"Don't move!"
After getting over the dizziness, Lance raised his head with the gun barrel on his head, ignoring the shouting in his ears, and stared at the pair of leather boots walking towards him.
"Long time no see, Lance."
Ogsger looked down at him with a calm expression on his face. Seeing that the female insect on the ground was still struggling, he simply knocked it down hard with the scepter in his hand.
There was a dull thud as the flesh began to ache, and it was not until blood began to flow that the pain finally became a bit better.
Ogsger closed his eyes and breathed heavily, and it took him a long time to calm down.
"You could have turned back, Lance. I wasn't a staunch anti-aristocrat back then."
He half squatted down and spoke softly, "But why did you teach my cub to go to the lake to catch some goldfish, and then watch him drown in the lake?"
Every time he thought of the swollen cub lying quietly on the ground, as if it fell asleep peacefully every night, he couldn't help but feel a strong resentment and murderous intent.
"I originally thought of sentencing him to death normally, but don't let hatred carry you and lead the way in undermining the country's laws."
Ogsger lowered his eyes, a trace of cruelty flashed across his eyes, "This time you fell into my hands yourself."
"Ahem... Hehe I... You ask me why..."
The female insect lying on the ground hoarsely and was almost out of breath. She no longer had her original gentle appearance and looked more laughed like a fierce ghost that crawled out of hell.
"There are no such things to be cautious about in political struggles. You just use whatever means are needed to make your enemies suffer. Are you still so naive even after becoming an emperor?"
"As long as you win, all the dirty tricks will become clever."
He spat out a mouthful of blood and said hoarsely, "I want to reach the highest position, to have tremendous power and wealth, and never again..."
I no longer want to fall down in a corner covered in blood, having my flesh eaten by ants, being crushed by the endless pain and hunger, and finally dying quietly like garbage.
"Take it away."
Ogsger stood up indifferently and no longer looked at the female insect on the ground.
…
"Is it almost fixed?!"
The source of the aliens was cut off, and Rachel finally breathed a sigh of relief. After destroying the last alien that landed, she turned around and urged the progress of the repair of the protective shield.
"Your Majesty won't be able to hold on for much longer. Such a large mental shield is burning a huge amount of mental power every second. Once it is completely drained——"
Not only would the defense line be breached immediately, but Yael's life would also be in danger.
He gritted his teeth, thinking of Hillzer's request before he left, asking him to take care of the male insect, and felt deeply powerless.
"Almost, almost, almost... Forty, it will take more than thirty minutes!"
A large number of specialized worker bugs have already rushed over, and are now working with Kouyijun to repair a relatively complete control system, with rapid speed and progress.
However, because the internal structure of the instrument is too complicated and the repair conditions are poor, it will take at least half an hour to complete it.
Rachel took a deep breath and stopped urging him to avoid causing more mistakes. She finally stepped in to solve other problems.
"What is the current situation of the Third Army... Marshal Hall?!"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the communicator. Although they had just fallen out over political differences, he subconsciously relaxed when he heard this voice.
In any case, although Hall may make outrageous choices and actions, he has been in the military for hundreds of years. Unlike those nobles, it is absolutely impossible for him to betray the empire.
In this life-or-death moment, it is understandable that people are willing to help.
"Just stay with that kid and get the shield ready. Don't worry about this."
With a sullen face, Hall drove the mecha to a crash-land on a high ground. He looked at the female soldier of the Third Army whose expression changed suddenly, and transformed into a mecha form that was convenient for combat.
He immediately saw the mecha of Admiral Harris of the Third Army. It seemed to have sensed his coming and instantly changed its form to accumulate energy and try to escape.
Bang!!
A shell hit the tail end of the mecha, causing it to explode violently. At the moment of pause, Hall had already driven the mecha through the thick smoke and engaged in a fight with it.
Seeing that the source of instigating the riot was punished, the Fourth Army, which had been tricked and almost fell into the trap of the alien circle, also rushed up, and the chaos finally subsided.
"Follow the previous plan! Get ready for battle, otherwise when the reinforcements come back, we will be held back!"
"Team C, rush to repair the damaged mechas. Let Team A hurry up with the intact ones! Help His Majesty to eliminate the monsters outside, or there will be more and more monsters that we can't handle!"
Not daring to trust the Third Army anymore, Rachel's adjutant could only try his best to arrange a reliable detachment to continue the interrupted plan and share the pressure of the monster tide.
Rachel sorted out the situation and transmitted it to Hillzer who was far away in the universe through an encrypted channel. After hesitating for a few seconds, she also added the situation of His Majesty Yael in a businesslike manner.
There has been no reply from the other side. They must be busy fighting monsters and have no time. However, there is a transfer image on the mecha, so Hilzer should have known about it a long time ago.
He looked at the distant and blurry figure and felt speechless shock.
From that layer of protective shield up and down, it seems like the dividing line between hell and the world.
And Yael is the pillar that supports the sky. The tide of alien beasts that covers the sky is twisted and dangerous, but it is always blocked outside the sky.
I wonder how many insects are just like him, looking up in that direction with gratitude and shock, praying devoutly for peace.
Now the main star has begun to pick up the pace and gradually counterattack, and the situation is getting better little by little. As long as the speed of the monster invasion is slowed down, we can safely get through this war.
Countless lives will be saved from the fate of death.
This is all thanks to His Majesty the Lord, Yael.
In this war, he may not be the main fighter, but he is a well-deserved savior.
…
It hurts a lot.
Every bone in the body seemed to be creaking, and was constantly squeezed by the twisted and turbulent space.
Yael could even hear the sound of flesh being torn.
He was trapped in the center of the storm and unable to escape, and it was difficult for him to maintain the same posture as at the beginning.
Once he retreats or runs out of strength, these spatial turbulences will be enough to tear him apart without having to wait for the monsters.
Yael still kept his eyes tightly closed, feeling the warm blood flowing out from under his eyelids, winding around his face and solidifying, before being covered by new blood.
"cough……"
The itchiness in his throat made him cough softly, and the fishy sweet taste overflowed from the corners of his lips.
"Your Majesty?!"
The sharp tinnitus was gradually mixed with other sounds. Yael was in a trance for a moment and barely focused his consciousness to catch the sound.
"Your Majesty! Hurry up and transform into your original form. The shell of your original form is harder than your current mimicry...!"
prototype.
He couldn't help but smile. Thinking of those strange tentacles and hard shells, he didn't know whether to feel scared or embarrassed.
Every test proved that Yael was a real male insect, but he could never change into his original form, and it was impossible to detect what species the original form was, so the case was eventually dropped.
Yael sighed silently, feeling the boiling spiritual power in the picture. The vast sea was flooded with water and was almost dry.
It seems like I can still hold on for a while... How long has it been now?
He thought vaguely, but he vaguely felt that something seemed to be triggered, solidifying into a small barrier in the surrounding space, wrapping his body in it.
“?!”
The pressure on his body seemed to be less. Yael forced himself to open his eyes and blink away the blood that had not yet completely flowed out of his eye sockets.
After my vision regained clarity, I looked at the inside of my wrist and indeed saw a tiny flash.
That was... the chip that Xize gave him at the training ground before. It was said that it could resist strong impacts and space distortions and capture him inside the ball.
Thinking of the female insect, Yael couldn't help but curl his lips, then he thought of the few hurried words he had just exchanged during the conversation, and suddenly felt a little regretful.
This was the first time that Caesar yelled at him so harshly, he must have been really angry.
Every time when he was not at home and stayed up late or went to see dangerous insects in private, the female insect would just smile helplessly, and then work hard in various aspects to make him worry-free.
He also wanted to listen to Cesar's words, hide under strict protection, and safely survive the massacre caused by this mistake.
No matter how critical the situation was, he was a precious S-rank male insect after all and would be well protected. As long as he waited quietly for two hours, he would be able to directly enjoy the fruits of victory.
He might have done so in the past, but after going through so much, and realizing that he could continue to live a good life with the Zerg as his home, he could no longer turn a blind eye to this bloodbath.
This is not just his home, it is the home where Cesar has lived for a long time.
No matter how much pain and darkness they experience, female insects start a new life journey here, achieve success and gain honor, and move towards the glorious peak step by step.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!!"
"roar--!!!"
Many mechas have already rushed up to fight against the tide of alien beasts outside.
The sky was filled with deafening explosions and roars, which made Yael's tinnitus even worse.
He shook his head slowly, no longer feeling his body, but suddenly a startling sound rang in his ears, awakening him for a moment.
"Your Majesty! Support will arrive in ten minutes!"
It sounds like... Rachel's voice?
Yael reacted for a moment, then slowly understood the meaning of that sentence, and his extremely tired spirits suddenly perked up.
Then hold on for a while longer.
Only ten minutes.
…
The tide of monsters outside was visibly decreasing, and when the fight was at its most intense, there was a sudden commotion inside, and there seemed to be a faint explosion coming from the other side.
“Gah?!”
Some of the monsters noticed something and tried to turn back, but were wrapped up and squeezed against the protective shield, and then blasted into a pool of meat. The scene looked disgusting and terrifying.
"It seems that the Marshal has returned to help!"
A surprised voice came from the front and quickly spread to the fighting army.
Morale suddenly rose, and more intense laser sweeps were fired at the alien beasts. Victory gradually turned to this side.
Rachel was driving her mech on the front line, and at first sight she saw that familiar silver-blue light, rapidly approaching them like a falling meteorite.
"You're back, so soon?!"
The following army was still behind, and only the mecha was far ahead. Ignoring the damage it would cause, the alien blood on it had been blown away by the strong wind.
"You're back just in time! I'll lead the way—"
He excitedly set up the heavy laser cannon and fired a volley, clearing a passage for the mecha to pass smoothly through the tidal wave of monsters.
Before he could continue cleaning, a hurried voice came from the channel, "The shield has been repaired!"
In the deep explosion crater, a group of dusty insects burst into cheers.
Under their manipulation, the invisible protective shield rose again, and within a few breaths it replaced the mental protection and established a new barrier.
The battlefield, which was originally extremely dangerous, instantly turned into an overwhelming victory and counterattack.
“…”
Sensing the rise of new protection, that layer of mental defense flickered a few times, and after continuously becoming empty, it finally slowly dissipated. The power in the storm returned to heaven and earth, no longer stirring up trouble.
Boom——!!
The distorted space around it suddenly changed, and the pressure that exploded in an instant squeezed the space ball, but it also happened to relieve most of the impact, allowing the insects inside to survive safely.
"cough……"
By this time, Yer's body was covered in blood, some new and some already solidified, staining his white coat blood red, and there was even a small pool of blood at his feet.
"Victory! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! We are saved!"
The moment the protective shield rose again, countless insects burst into huge cheers and ran towards the tall building with tears in their eyes, like a pilgrimage that everyone was attending.
The female soldier who had been guarding nearby has already rushed forward, trying to support the male insect not far away.
"Your Majesty!!"
Countless insects watching the news broadcast screamed in surprise, staring at the white figure swaying, and immediately stood up nervously, "Be careful!"
The end…?
Realizing this, Yer pulled the corner of his mouth with some difficulty. He moved his legs, but his body was already numb, and he tilted to the left and was about to fall.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty?!"
But he did not fall to the ground, as a hand came out from somewhere and supported him.
There were not just two hands, but hands in all directions to hold him steadily, carefully laying him flat on the mattress.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?! Don't move, get the doctor here right away!"
Yael was in a daze, and in a trance he felt his face was wet, as if blood was being carefully wiped off, something hard was pressed against his lower lip, and then energy was fed into him bit by bit.
"Your Majesty? Can you hear me?"
He couldn't open his eyes, but he could feel many insects around him. The sounds of his footsteps and movements were very light. A doctor came soon, or perhaps the doctor had been waiting on the side from the beginning.
"Spread out a little to allow air to circulate. I'll check the situation!"
"The troops will stand aside and be on guard around here...!"
The huge roar in his head dissipated a little, and Yael gradually regained consciousness. He opened his eyes with some difficulty and looked up at the sky with a distracted look.
The monster tide has shrunk a lot and no longer covers the sky. The warm sunshine is shining again, and the sky has become distant and clear again.
He breathed lightly, and suddenly his eyes moved slightly, and he saw the silver-blue mecha descending rapidly.
The mecha was covered in wounds and blood, and it looked like it had been through a very fierce battle. It was flying towards this side at a very fast speed.
"That looks like the Marshal's mecha?!"
A strong sense of detachment came over me, my body felt numb, and my soul seemed to no longer fit with my body. It swayed and floated into the air, then dissipated bit by bit.
A slight vibration came from not far away, and the silver-blue mecha finally descended to this height.
The hatch slid open, and the female insect inside spread its bony wings and flew over here.
"Heroic Lord...!"
But in the dark vision, the black door suddenly opened, and a strong suction force came from inside, sucking him in almost instantly.
Yael's head slowly tilted to one side, and a streak of blood slid from the corner of his lips.
"Your Majesty? What's wrong with you... Your Majesty!!"
This was the last thought that crossed my mind before I lost consciousness.
Fortunately, we said goodbye properly when we parted, otherwise it would have been such a pity if we had left without even seeing each other for the last time.
