Chapter 239 Now they've really messed up!
He truly cannot be moved.
Because if he were to show even the slightest emotion, 001 would be reduced to scrap metal!
The most crucial question is, how is he going to explain this to his brother?
This mechanical bug was perfectly fine when it came, but it turned into a pile of scrap metal when it left?
Simon didn't care about any of that. Now that this arrogant mechanical bug had offended him, it was time for it to be scrapped!
The surrounding insects, eager for a good show, even started stirring up trouble.
“Your Highness Eli, since this mechanical insect is so eager to protect you, why not give it a chance?”
"Exactly! This mechanical bug is so blatantly provoking a general. If we don't teach him a lesson, it will really embarrass our general!"
"Yes! At that point, it will probably be a conflict between the royal family and the military!"
"But wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to have a mechanical bug fight an A-rank general in the banquet hall's corridor?"
"Are you kidding me? Fight? That's a mechanical bug, not a combat bug! It'll be annihilated by the admiral in a heartbeat!"
...
The mechanical insect listened to the chattering of the insects around it, and tilted its head left and right, a little confused.
It cautiously approached Eli and asked in a very low voice, "Your Highness Eli, do they think 001 will lose?"
Eli was speechless. "Don't you know you can lose?"
What exactly is the purpose of your super brain?
For a mechanical insect to fight a seasoned general, isn't that just asking for trouble?
Seeing that Eli didn't answer him, the mechanical insect whispered again, "001, here's a program written by the female king. 001 doesn't find it difficult at all. That general's movements are too slow. He's not even half as good as the female king."
Eli: "..."
What is that?
The program written by Letecar?
What program? A combat program?
No wonder when he pulled the mechanical bug earlier, it seemed like it moved before he did.
He had thought it was just his imagination, but now it seems it wasn't.
If that's the case, then things are going to get interesting.
Eli narrowed his eyes, and when he looked at Simon again, there was a clear hint of amusement in his eyes.
There is no doubt about what level of military woman Rétkael was.
Simon is definitely no match for him, a single insect. It's just unknown how much of Lutkael's essence the mechanical insect can learn.
Eli deliberately pretended to be in a dilemma, standing still without saying a word.
He was really worried that if he agreed to let Simon fight the mechanical bug, Simon would blame him.
"Your Highness Eli, you're not worried about the money, are you? It's just a mechanical bug. If it's really ruined, I'll just compensate you with another one."
Seeing that Eli remained silent, Simon couldn't help but speak up in a provocative manner.
Eli immediately feigned extreme anger, saying, "Admiral Simon, you have to take responsibility for your words, you know that? I don't want your men to cause trouble for our royal family if the mechanical bugs injure you, Admiral."
“Your Highness Eli, if this is the new form of insult you’ve come up with, very well, then you’ve succeeded.” Simon’s face was so dark it was almost dripping with water.
How could a general in the military be unable to defeat a mechanical bug?
Who is being insulted?
Eli, of course, understood Simon's meaning. He shrugged. "Admiral Simon, I've already warned you. If you insist on doing this, you'll be responsible for whatever happens."
"Enough talk, let your mechanical bugs come out and fight!"
As soon as Simon finished speaking, Eli took a step back without saying a word. "Since we've come this far, I won't insist."
Seeing that the two insects had finished negotiating, the mechanical insect nearby immediately ran over obediently.
It even proactively asked Simon, "Admiral, may we begin?"
Simon didn't even bother with the mechanical bug; he simply raised his wings and charged towards it.
Just when the other onlookers thought that the mechanical insect would be smashed to pieces by Simon, the mechanical insect rolled backward twice very lightly.
Then they bypassed his attack.
The surrounding insects were all stunned for a moment, and even Simon was stunned for a moment.
Then, in that instant of his stunned silence, the mechanical insect had already rushed up at incredible speed, wielding its small, bladed claws.
Simon instantly got a scratch on his face; if he hadn't reacted quickly enough, half of his face would have been sliced off by the mechanical bug.
Before he could have any more time to think, the mechanical insects attacked again.
Simon immediately dodged in a flustered manner, which stunned the onlookers.
"My God, am I seeing things? A general of the Second Legion is being chased and beaten by a mechanical bug?"
"You read that right, that's really how it is. Is the Second Legion really that weak now?"
"I don't think so. I should say this mechanical bug seems pretty powerful."
"What's so great about the mechanical bug? It just does housework and relays messages all day."
"Perhaps the royal family's mechanical insectoid is more powerful, who knows?"
"Anyway, General Simon and the Second Army will be disgraced, oh yes, and the Thomas family as well."
...
Simon couldn't hear what the surrounding insects were saying because all his attention was focused on the mechanical insects.
He hadn't encountered such a formidable opponent in a long time, especially given the opponent's extremely unpredictable fighting style.
In several consecutive encounters, he was clearly at a disadvantage.
What angered him even more was that the mechanical bug on the other side hadn't even used its full strength.
It appears that after his first strike, the data was adjusted based on an assessment of his strength.
Simon was furious because the bug only managed to injure him, never actually killing him!
It's like a ferocious beast tormenting a harmless little animal.
That's despicable behavior, just like Eli's!
He started this fight, so there's no way he'd suggest ending it now.
In that case, his reputation is ruined!
The mechanical insect in front of him had absolutely no sense of propriety and was attacking him head-on.
Soon even ordinary insects could see that Simon was no match for the Needle Mechanical Insect, and was even completely manipulated by it.
Eli felt a surge of secret pleasure at seeing Simon in such a disheveled state.
That old bastard always relies on his family and the Second Legion to pull off underhanded tricks.
Now you've really messed up!
Being outmaneuvered by a tiny mechanical insect, he must be utterly humiliated.
"General Eli, did you skip dinner today? Why don't you finish the banquet first and then fight..."
Eli's seemingly concerned words were actually rubbing salt into Simon's wounds.
But the mechanical bug, upon hearing this, believed it to be true and stopped to ask Simon, who was panting like an old dog, "Does the Admiral need to eat first?"
