Chapter 144 No, wasn't his brother kidnapped?
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, causing all the insects present to shudder.
Especially when I just thought of Letecar... if I knew the horrific scene after his lord was captured.
They dared not utter a sound.
Not to mention that Letekar, who had clearly noticed that something was wrong, was already standing in front of him.
His gaze was fixed intently on Eli before he asked again, "General, is the matter you can't tell me related to the Lord?"
If it were just a military secret, as a major general, he would be more qualified than the other insects to know.
Unless this matter involves insects around him, such as those with direct or familial ties.
The first insect that came to mind for Letecar was the cinnabar fire.
So without thinking, he asked directly.
For Lutkar, the Larnetta family's insects were of no importance.
As long as Tan Chi is alright, that's fine.
Eli's expression darkened further. He had been trying to find a reason to change the subject, but Lutkar had hit the nail on the head as soon as he opened his mouth.
He opened his mouth, but when he saw Lutkar's burning eyes, he chose to give up.
“My men just reported that… Achi and Cano may have been kidnapped.”
Eli's eyelids drooped, and for a moment he also found it hard to accept the result.
He took a deep breath and continued, "They captured two of their insects, probably just to threaten us and cause problems with this joint operation, you..."
Before Eli could finish speaking, the insect-like markings on the side of Letekar's face had already appeared.
Eli was immediately alarmed.
This was a signal that the Zerg were about to go berserk. He felt that if he didn't say something now, given Letkar's current fighting strength, they wouldn't need to form a joint encirclement and annihilation force.
It's possible that the Zerg from the second legion will be completely wiped out in the end.
Eli's heart pounded. "Major General, listen to me, this isn't the whole story..."
His gaze remained fixed on Letecar, and he wished he could slap himself twice across the face. "Shut up! Speak!"
But he just couldn't come up with what to say to cover up the lie.
And so, an eerie silence fell over the entire command office.
Eli's personal computer then emitted a special notification sound.
He almost instinctively handed it to Letecar. "Yes, it's Cano!"
Lutekar's expression remained unchanged, but the insect-like markings on his face slowly faded.
Eli breathed a sigh of relief, immediately activated his personal terminal, and answered the call, "Your Highness Eli!"
As soon as Kano connected to the personal terminal, he immediately got straight to the point: "Lord Tan Chi and I encountered a very dangerous insect. They are insects from the Roronoa Pirates, and they want to kidnap us!"
Letekar's brow remained furrowed, for he did not see Tan Chi's figure on the quantum computer.
The thought of the terrible fate that his fragile yet kind-hearted lord might be facing made his blood boil.
I wish I could just storm the pirates' lair right now and wipe them all out!
Eli noticed Letkar's emotions and quickly asked, "Where is Tan Chi now? Is he with you? Or is he injured?"
His gaze swept over Kano, making sure that Kano was indeed alright, before he stared intently at him again.
Kano seemed to suddenly come to his senses before saying, "Lord Tan Chi should be alright now. He asked me to tell you that he left with the female insects of the Roronoa Pirates."
Eli accurately grasped the key point in Kano's words, "You mean, Achi deliberately followed the female insect of Roronoa away?"
His brows furrowed sharply as he began to imagine his poor brother, who, in order to let them go of Kano, chose to bear all the burdens alone, enduring humiliation and hardship as he left with the Roronoa Pirates.
Kano, oblivious to Eli's emotions, continued, "Lord Tanchi also said that he has the mechanical insects from his home with him, and all their movements can be monitored by the Major General. He said that you shouldn't be worried."
Eli: "???"
No, wasn't his brother kidnapped?
Why are you still carrying the mechanical bug from home?
When did the insects over in Roronoa become so... so insect-like?
While Eli was still thinking, Letekar had already opened his personal terminal to check on Tan Chi's condition.
His whole hand was trembling with nervousness, but fortunately he quickly connected to the mechanical bug's vision.
Then he saw the male insect they were worried about sitting casually in a room, with mechanical insects helping to squeeze juice next to him.
Eli: "..."
Other insects: "..."
What do the Roronoa Pirates mean?
Why take the insect away and then treat it so well?
Although Letekar didn't know either, he quickly contacted the mechanical bug and sent a message.
The mechanical insect also reported to Tan Chi immediately.
"Your Excellency, the Queen has sent a message inquiring about your condition. They should have already seen your situation through 001's perspective."
Tan Chi nodded slightly. Although he used the holographic disguise device, he had 001 specifically cancel the effect of the device in order not to cause panic on the other side.
He just didn't expect that his little action would cause even more concern on their side.
Tan Chi pursed his lips, as if he had thought of something, before saying, "Tell the Empress not to worry. I will go back after the three legions' joint encirclement and suppression is over."
While their 001 system can provide Letekel with video from its perspective, it cannot synchronize the audio.
Therefore, Tan Chi could only have the mechanical insect send text messages to Letekar.
The mechanical insect naturally sent the message as Tan Chi had instructed, but considering how much Letekar valued Tan Chi, it spoke again.
"Sir, what if the Empress thinks you've been kidnapped and gets distracted while you're working?"
Tan Chi thought about it and realized that made sense.
So he snapped his fingers at the mechanical insects, deciding to continue using the holographic disguise device in front of them.
Almost instantly, the male insect in front of Letekar transformed into a scarred female insect.
Letekar: "..."
Only then did he understand what Tan Chi meant by not wanting him to worry.
Last time, when Tan Chi disguised himself as Dr. Flute, the other insects couldn't tell what he actually looked like.
Seeing this situation again now, Letekar couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thankfully his powerful lord was clever and managed to disguise his true nature in time.
Otherwise, if he were really captured by the insects from Roronoa's side, his lord would suffer a lot!
With that thought in mind, Letekar sent another message to the mechanical insect—
