Chapter 482 I advise you to think this through!
He didn't even dare to think about what happened next!
His voice rose slightly with excitement, echoing in the quiet study.
Eli was not deterred by the insect king's wrath.
He took a deep breath, met his sharp gaze, and said firmly, "Father, please think about this calmly. Given Achi's personality, if he's really made up his mind, can we stop him?"
Insect Emperor: "..."
Seeing that the Insect King did not directly refute, Eli continued, "He was able to notify us this time, but if we don't agree, what if he sneaks out on his own next time and gets captured by space pirates without us even knowing? Wouldn't we be even more passive then? We might not even have a chance to cooperate!"
The Insect King clenched his fist, thinking about Tan Chi's personality, and felt a headache coming on.
He still couldn't convince himself to agree to let Tan Chi act as bait.
"Let me think about it..."
Seeing this, Eli stepped forward and continued, "Rather than letting him go out of our sight and risk his life, it's better to keep the operation under our own control."
Now that the royal family has sufficient military funds and those weapon upgrade plans, the first batch of experimental aircraft can be equipped, and this is a good opportunity to put them into actual combat for testing.
Moreover, Tan Chi had also prepared a squad of mechanical insects, whose combat capabilities they had personally witnessed.
Arranging all of these for him can serve as a covert guarantee for this "kidnapping".
Eli explained the current situation clearly and logically to the Insect King.
The Insect King's brows remained furrowed, but there was a clear hint of wavering in his eyes.
“That’s a pirate stronghold! There are too many unknown dangers! After all, Achi is just a little bug, and his physical strength and experience are both shortcomings! What’s more, Letekar will be following him!”
When the Insect King no longer thinks as the Insect King, he is just the female father of a little insect.
Once she started expressing her concerns, she couldn't stop rambling on and on.
"Although that little female insect, Letkar, is exceptionally talented, she is still just a larva, and how can I feel at ease with her shyness?"
He couldn't imagine how he would cope if something happened to his two precious insect offspring with his tacit approval.
“Father!” Eli raised his hand and placed it on the Insect King’s shoulder. “Achi may be an insect cub, but is he an ordinary insect cub? He is an insect cub favored by the Insect God! Why don’t we choose to believe him this time? Why don’t we believe in the Insect God’s arrangement?”
This may be the perfect opportunity for the royal family to completely clear away obstacles...
It is also a gift from the insect god!
Insect Emperor: "..."
Seeing that the Insect King remained silent, Eli knew that he must have persuaded the Insect King.
He immediately pressed on, "Mechanical Bug 001 will follow us the entire time, maintaining real-time synchronization of information and video transmission. If any unexpected danger is detected, 001 can ignore Achi's orders and forcibly activate the emergency procedure to remove them from the danger zone immediately..."
As for what they can do, there is much more.
Their elite fleet will also be secretly deployed around the perimeter, ready to provide support at any time.
Eli paused for a moment, then continued, "Even if Achi is temporarily trapped, he can use that holographic camouflage technology, which even we can't see through, to disguise himself as an ordinary female soldier in the base, wait for rescue, or find an opportunity to escape! His safety is much higher than we imagined!"
“Holographic camouflage…” the Insect King murmured, as if he had been awakened by this word.
Indeed, having this trump card can greatly reduce the probability of danger.
A brief silence fell over the study.
After a long while, the Insect King let out a long breath, "Fine, let's arrange it as you say."
He raised his eyes, his gaze sharp as he looked at Eli. "But Eli, listen to me! All the security measures must be foolproof! I want you to be personally in charge of the covert coordination and support for this operation! If either Achi or Letekar loses a single hair, I will hold you responsible!"
Eli's eyes lit up instantly. He snapped to attention, gave a crisp military salute, and said in a strong, clear voice, "Yes, Father! I assure you, on behalf of the honor of a female soldier, that I will bring my brother and Letekar back safely!"
...
Afternoon sunlight falls on the narrow alley, creating an interplay of light and shadow.
Tan Chi led Letekar's little hand and the mechanical insect beside him toward the alley.
Ever since the Insect King agreed to let him and Letkar act as bait, they had been pondering which part of the Empire's streets would be the best place for the space pirates to capture them.
Fortunately, the mechanical bugs located the current position after scanning the streets of the empire.
They had prepared the time and place for these space pirates.
If they don't come soon, it would be a real waste of their good intentions.
Fortunately, just as they were about to leave the alley, they were suddenly blocked by two tall shadows.
Tan Chi looked up and saw two fierce-looking female soldiers. They were wearing tattered combat uniforms and had malicious grins on their faces.
One of the insects had a hideous scar on its face, running from its brow bone to its jaw, and the whole insect exuded an indescribable ferocity.
Tan Chi paused, pulling Letekar behind him, his small body standing ramrod straight.
He raised his chin, deliberately displaying the arrogant expression unique to male insects, and spoke in a clear but commanding tone.
"How dare you! What kind of insects are you? How dare you block my path! Do you even know who I am?"
The scarred female soldier chuckled, revealing her yellowed teeth, her voice rough and hoarse, "Of course we know, Your Highness the Second Prince. My brother and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
He used polite language, but his eyes greedily swept over Tan Chi.
As expected of a royal insect, even the fabric of its clothes is priceless.
But that's precisely what they, the space pirates, don't have!
Tan Chi's face revealed a hint of disgust at the opportune moment. "Since you know it's me, the prince, you still dare to be rude! If you leave now, I can forgive your disrespect!"
As he spoke, he pulled Letekar away.
How could two female soldiers possibly give him that opportunity?
They blocked Tan Chi's path again, speaking in a sinister tone, "Little male insects, now that you've met us, you can forget about returning to the royal family! If you don't want to get hurt, I advise you to behave yourselves, otherwise..."
As the two female soldiers spoke, they took out their gleaming, sharp weapons.
"I advise you to think carefully! I am a noble male insect! How much money do you want? The royal family can give it to you!"
While saying this, Tan Chi had already started pulling Letekar back.
Another, slightly thinner female soldier spoke up in a sinister tone, "We will definitely ask the royal family for the money, but, little prince, you may not understand the situation."
He pointed to a blurry skull symbol on his arm—
