Chapter 116 No matter where you put this living devil, he can't stand it!
"So what are your thoughts?"
His brow furrowed as he thought of Leo Berg.
Although he didn't want to rescue Leo Berg, he was, after all, a male from a noble family.
If they were to be captured directly in the Empire, it would be a loss of face for the Second Legion.
But once this matter escalates, the royal family will also be implicated.
After all, if space pirates can abduct noble male insects from the Empire, what else is impossible?
The empire's security is in grave danger.
Upon hearing this, Letekar naturally understood what Eli meant. "Your Highness Eli, please rest assured, Roronoa will absolutely not take Leo out of the Empire."
Upon hearing this, he immediately perked up, "Oh? What's going on?"
Lutcal placed the live broadcast from the front lines that he had received directly in front of Eli.
The Second Legion and the Roronoa Pirates had already begun their standoff, while Roronoa had taken Leo outside the spacecraft.
It seemed that if any insect tried to get close, he would immediately blow Leo's head off.
Leo looked lifeless, and there was even a lot of blood still on his body.
It's obvious that the space pirates attacked Leo.
Without the live video feed, the Second Legion could have completely ignored Leo and wiped out the space pirates in one fell swoop.
After all, the first vanguard of their Second Legion had been completely wiped out.
The second batch of female soldiers who came to support them wished they could kill all the space pirates in front of them.
But unfortunately, everything they're doing right now is being broadcast live.
Even if they wanted to disregard the lives of the nobles, they were now forced to negotiate with the other side, their hands tied.
Eli frowned as he watched the live stream. "Major General, aren't you worried that if they can't reach an agreement... then the male insect from the Berg family will be taken away by them?"
After all, with only one male insect as a bargaining chip, if the Second Legion's insects are pushed to the limit, they can simply wipe them out under the banner of the Imperial Insect Clan.
Before Eli could finish speaking, a deafening explosion was heard.
Immediately afterward, the Second Legion, which had been confronting the space pirates in the live stream, seemed to receive some order and immediately retreated a distance.
Then, a voice filled with gritted teeth could be heard in the live stream, "We agree to let you go, as long as you return the esteemed male insect. Otherwise, our Second Legion will not let this go!"
The space pirates clearly didn't know why the Second Legion had agreed so quickly, but they still chose to drop off the male insect before the space jump.
The live stream chat exploded with comments.
[What's going on? Are all the Zerg from the Second Legion just sitting around doing nothing?! They just let the space pirates escape like that?!]
I thought the Second Legion would avenge its defeat, but now, hahaha...
[I felt dizzy and my vision blurred. With a legion like this in the Empire, how will we ensure our safety in the future?]
[Latest rumor: I heard that Admiral Simon's house was blown up by bugs. I wonder if it's related to them releasing the space pirates?]
[What? What? Simon's house was blown up, so he let the space pirates go? Did the space pirates threaten to blow up their male insects?]
[Tsk tsk, as expected... other families' insects are worthless, but the insects of their Second Military Department are valuable!]
Boycott the Thomas family! It's everyone's responsibility!
Boycott the Thomas family! It's everyone's responsibility!
Boycott the Thomas family! It's everyone's responsibility!
...
The screen, which was originally filled with various comments, was eventually unified into a single sentence.
Eli watched the scene unfold, his temples throbbing uncontrollably.
He had a gut feeling that the bombing of Simon was definitely related to Röttkar.
He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Major General, General Simon..."
“I had the bugs blow up his garden and threatened to kill all the male bugs in his house if he didn’t let the Roronoa Pirates go.”
Before Eli could finish speaking, Letekar revealed his entire plan.
Eli: "..."
Sure enough, he knew it!
How should I put it?
He suddenly felt a little fortunate that Eli was a major general in their First Legion; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stand this living devil anywhere!
He had only said that he wanted to take this opportunity to dampen the Second Legion's spirit and prevent them from so easily clearing their name.
He thought that at most, Letekar would just launch a sneak attack on the Roronoa pirate group and turn them against each other.
To everyone's surprise, his major general went straight to the maximum intensity.
Not only did it cause Roronoa to fall out with Simon, but it also blew up the Thomas family. Now, not only the Second Legion, but even the Thomas family's face is being trampled on and rubbed into the ground.
As for the Roronoa Pirates, this was a significant blow, both physically and mentally.
I wonder if he'll still be able to perform when he's playing Jenga with female insects in the future...
...
Seeing that he didn't need to worry about Lettkar, Eli simply turned off his personal terminal and continued to handle other matters at hand.
Especially with his brother's birthday approaching, the royal family does need a legitimate reason for a banquet to let everyone know about the royal family's current financial strength.
Previously, thanks to the fruit provided by Tan Chi, they successfully made a lot of money.
And some of the vegetables from the Plant asteroid will be available soon.
As for the ripening period of the fruit, it's just a matter of time.
The ripening time of the interstellar fruit is different from the ripening time recorded on the ancient Blue Star; it is only one-tenth of the ripening time recorded on the ancient Blue Star.
Therefore, most fruits are grown using interstellar technology, allowing for almost year-round supply.
Perhaps the seeds provided by Tan Chi Laboratory were exceptionally robust, but surprisingly, no seedlings died in the planting area.
Some of them are incredibly productive.
This immediately relieved Eli's previously stressed mood.
His gaze swept over the paper documents on the table, and then, as if remembering something, he took out his personal terminal and sent a message to Kano.
【Your Excellency Reeves, do you have some free time recently? There is a royal banquet to be held soon, and would you be willing to attend as my date?】
After sending the message, Eli couldn't help but start thinking.
His little male insects must be dressed up beautifully.
It just so happens that Tan Chi's birthday is a few days away, so I'll take advantage of these few days to buy some nice clothes and accessories for my little male insect.
He thought of Cano's beautiful eyes blinking at him, and his heart melted.
I wonder if the little male insect would be willing to attend the banquet with him?
Eli thought about the little male's monotonous life and suddenly felt a little worried...
