Chapter 52 Pregnancy Checkup
As soon as the topic was brought up, Carl and Luka were stunned.
Luka said, "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
"Mongfang mentioned it last time, but it was very ambiguous." Seeing that both of them looked a little surprised, she whispered, "Can't I ask?"
While there's no explicit rule prohibiting mention of the Battle of the Two Wings, this war is so unique, a shared pain for all orcs, that both those who witnessed it and those who witnessed it remain shrouded in secrecy. Furthermore, the Star Network uses keyword blocking, erasing all information related to the Battle of the Two Wings. This is also a tactic used by the higher-ups to keep everyone from forgetting and moving on.
Luka considered his words carefully, not wanting to let that history scare her. After a moment, he said, "The Battle of the Two Wings was a major power split. Before the Battle of the Two Wings, the United Council of the Interstellar Federation had the power to govern all orcs. But after the Battle of the Two Wings, a second major power emerged: the Free Alliance."
"What about the Wandering Alliance?"
Carl continued, "What's the Wandering Alliance? It's more like the Losers' Alliance. Initially, it was just the remnants of the rebel army defeated in the Battle of the Two Wings. Later, they continuously absorbed violent orcs or orcs expelled from the Federation for their mistakes, and only then did they grow stronger."
"Rebels?"
Luka explained to her, "They were a group of male orcs who rebelled against the Federation. It can be said that they single-handedly led the Battle of the Two Wings."
After a detailed understanding, Qiao Susu finally had a comprehensive understanding of the Battle of the Two Wings.
The current Wandering Alliance, formerly the Rebel Army, is an elite team of exceptional capabilities. Each member excels in a different area, but together they are incredibly formidable, encompassing nearly every combat need, from innate talent to mental strength. They offer offensive, defensive, support, and healing types.
The Federation invested a great deal of time, money, manpower, and resources in developing this team. It could be said that this team had been the Federation's trump card for a long time.
What follows is a story of a farmer and a snake. The rebels break with the Federation and launch a crazy attack.
"They even resorted to despicable tactics, airdropping inducers to trigger widespread orc frenzy, forcing everyone to slaughter each other."
The Battle of the Two Wings was a "clean-up plan" to suppress the violent orcs and maintain the stability of the Federation. The goal was to kill the orcs who could no longer return to normal.
Carl recalled those days, a survivor who had survived the massacre of thousands of people. The orcs, driven to a state of rage, had lost their minds, and he was forced to kill his brother and friends. Otherwise, he would have died at their hands.
At this point, Qiao Suisui finally understood why everyone who mentioned the "Battle of the Two Wings" always wanted to avoid talking about it. It was because they must have all experienced such cruel things. They were the generation that survived by smearing the blood of their relatives and friends.
She looked at Luka, wondering if he had also personally ended the lives of his own people. But she did not ask, that was too cruel. Luka received her gaze and understood what she wanted to ask.
"I buried 1,831 brothers."
These people are his subordinates who train with him every day, eat and sleep with him, go through life and death with him, and joke around with him. They are also the brothers who spend the longest time with him and are the most familiar to him. They are the ones who can trust each other with their backs.
"I watched them train so hard to wear that medal they were so proud of, only to see them murder their fellow soldiers, cut down innocent people, and destroy the very places they swore to protect. So I ended their lives with my own hands."
His tone was calm, his expression calm, only the depth and darkness in his eyes hinted at the pain this past had brought him. This was also why he suffered from sexual dysfunction after returning from the Battle of the Two Wings. Because at that time, Luka was numb to even the idea of living, so how could he still be interested in sex?
Qiao Suisui was speechless and held his hand, hoping to give him some comfort. Luka held her hand back and said, "It's over."
She nodded, a question forming in her mind: Why would an elite force, trained at such great expense, rebel? What kind of hatred could drive them to such a cruel act? After all, this was the place they had once pledged their loyalty and inhabited.
"Then the rebels are not being dealt with by the Federation yet?"
Carl sneered, "I can't beat him."
Luka said solemnly, "The Federation has never given up on encircling and capturing the rebels. As of today, only 13 rebels remain. Five of them have retreated and disappeared. The remaining eight have had disagreements. Some were absorbed by the Freedom Alliance, which rose up during the chaos, while others retreated to Ruins Eye and established the Wandering Alliance."
Qiao Suisui nodded thoughtfully, but Zongfang's words came to her mind -
"A ridiculous farce in which 1.4 billion orcs acted alongside him."
Who is this guy?
Zongfang seemed to know the deeper inside story.
Luka didn't want her to bother with such a cruel thing, so he pulled her up, helped her put on her coat, and led her out.
Seeing this, Karl frowned and blurted out subconsciously: "Where are you taking her?" After asking, he realized that he had no position or identity to ask such a question.
Luka glanced at him expressionlessly, then took Qiao Susu's hand and walked out without stopping, completely ignoring him.
She turned around and saw Karl’s distorted expression, then turned to Luka and asked, “Where are we going?”
"Pregnancy test."
This time, they came to the Royal Hospital again, and were received in person by the director. The difference was that this time, except for the necessary medical staff, the entire hospital was cleared and strict confidentiality training was carried out, so there was no need to worry about Qiao Suis private information being leaked.
Meanwhile, in the Royal Hospital's emergency room, a wounded patient was being treated. With a "beep," the doctors surrounding the bed stopped moving.
"Your Highness, we have done our best. Please accept my condolences."
Liberi's body was covered in blood. Unlike his usual relaxed and hipster self, there was no smile on his face and he had lost a lot of weight, but he looked more capable and strong. At this moment, he looked at the person who was declared to have failed to rescue him, nodded calmly, explained the follow-up and left.
This man was a spy he had planted next to Neo. His identity was exposed, and he was tortured to his last breath and left at the gate of his camp.
A blatant demonstration.
Libery sneered, which showed that Neo had finally lost his patience.
He stood in the corridor, watching them push the person covered with the flag of the Oslan Empire away to handle the funeral, and his mind suddenly drifted away.
He hadn't seen Sui Sui for 29 days. He tried not to think about her. When his longing reached its peak, he almost clicked on her account and wanted to call her, but he finally held back. Because this was a road with an uncertain future, and even he himself didn't know what the outcome would be, so he couldn't bring her any risk.
But at this moment, looking at the person being pushed away, he suddenly wanted to hear her voice. He wanted to know, if he finally lost and died, would she be sad for him?
Liberi suppressed his surging emotions again and walked towards the hospital entrance, but stopped abruptly when he heard a voice that he had been thinking about.
