Chapter 316 Now, the only option is to escape!
Because of the instructions given by the Star Thieves, after reporting to Eli, Letkar led the First Legion's female soldiers to surround the Thomas family the very next day.
In order to leave Simon with no room for retaliation, Röttkar made a special effort to broadcast the event live.
Almost as soon as the title of the live stream appeared on the StarNet, it nearly paralyzed the entire interstellar network.
[Live stream of the arrest of Imperial traitor Simon Thomas, former Imperial General #LiveStream #FirstOrderLiveStreamArrest#]
[Gibberish: By the God of Insects! Is this some kind of scam livestream?! Am I seeing things? Capturing General Simon?!]
[The most handsome bug on the entire internet: Holy crap!!! Major General Letekar is personally livestreaming himself catching bugs?! Is this some kind of high-stakes game?!]
[Imperial Glory Never Fades: Traitor! He really is a traitor! I knew the rumors online about the Second Legion colluding with space pirates were true!]
[Toto the puppy: Bullshit! Slander! Absolutely slander! Admiral Simon has shed so much blood for the Empire! The Royal Family is using you and then discarding you!]
[First-hand gossip: Selling melon seeds, drinks, and nutritional supplements in the front row! Witnessing history, you idiots! A major general livestreams arresting a former general—even interstellar web novels wouldn't dare write something like this!]
[Calm down, calm down: The ID verification is real, wow, looks like they're serious this time!]
...
Lutekar glanced at the comments, his expression as calm as ever.
He stood at the door, waiting for the Thomas family's insects to come out.
Because Letkar specifically requested to capture Simon, the other insects hurriedly went to call Simon out.
"Letekar, are you trying to embarrass me?" Simon couldn't help but roar at him as soon as he appeared.
How dare a mere major general come to the Thomas family to arrest him?
Even if they were to come, only Eli would be qualified.
Leithkar saw through Thomas's thoughts at a glance, and said expressionlessly, "Syman Thomas, you are no longer an Imperial Admiral. I suggest you surrender."
He then activated his personal terminal, displayed the arrest warrant, and said, "I am now arresting you for threatening the security of the Empire and for treason. Please cooperate!"
His voice was icy cold and utterly disrespectful, instantly darkening Simon's expression.
He gripped the mechanical arm tightly, his expression turning icy as he looked at Letekar. "You're not qualified to arrest me, and besides, you can always find a pretext to frame me!"
Letkar seemed to have anticipated Simon's response. He then played the previous interrogation video again, saying, "This is the confession of the space pirates from the Roronoa Pirates. According to their confession, the appearance of the space beasts in the Empire was directly related to you."
[Blade of the Empire: Did you hear that?! Did you all hear that?! The Star Beasts attacked the Empire because Simon and his crew colluded with space pirates!!!]
[Speechless with shock: Holy crap!!! This is an outrageous revelation! I thought it was a power struggle, but it turns out it's a conspiracy between space pirates and alien beasts to slaughter their own people?!]
[Guagua: Has Simon gone mad? He's willing to abandon insects' lives for power and profit!]
[Has the Thomas family collapsed today?: Simon Thomas, you scoundrel! Major General Letekar, please punish this traitor severely on behalf of the Empire!]
[The most handsome guy on the internet: Simon is even more despicable than the Star Beast! Major General, stop wasting your breath on him! Fan Jin, arrest this traitor!!!]
[Anonymous User 7483: Where are those who were defending Simon before? Come out and show yourselves! The evidence is practically in their faces!]
...
Simon hadn't expected that Letekar would capture Roronoa's underlings from the Third Army so quickly.
His face immediately turned extremely ugly, but he still stubbornly said, "This is slander! I have absolutely no connection with the Roronoa Pirates!"
Lutkar glanced at Simon indifferently. "The results of your interrogation will be released to the entire StarNet. You can raise any objections you may have, but they will have to wait until after the interrogation."
As he spoke, he gestured with his chin toward Simon, "Let's go, Simon Thomas."
"I can't go with you!" Simon didn't care about anything else.
He knew that if he went to the military prison with Leterkar, he would be sent to a military court!
No, absolutely not.
Now, the only option is to run away!
He's no longer an admiral; even if he escapes, he'll only be a wandering space pirate.
But it doesn't matter, there are so many interstellar pirates, he can naturally find a suitable place.
As Simon thought this, he glanced around at the female soldiers in the room.
The insects that came this time were all from the First Legion. He wasn't sure of their strength, so he could only try to break through and see.
Simon felt that as long as he didn't head directly towards Letecar, breaking through shouldn't be a problem.
She's a Class A military female!
Back in the day, their combat strength was ranked among the top in the Second Legion!
Simon's confidence soared at this thought.
But Simon had no idea that, for the female soldiers of the First Legion, the Star Beasts had already been almost completely wiped out by them.
They had so much energy they had nowhere to use it, and when they saw Simon, their eyes lit up!
These are not traitors to the empire, these are their walking heroes!
The female soldiers who came out on the mission with Letekar showed no fear of the former general; instead, they were filled with a desire to make a name for themselves!
So as soon as Simon made a move, they all rushed up.
"ah!!!"
A sudden cry of pain rang out.
Simon's disdain hadn't even completely vanished when a fist carrying a strong gust of wind slammed into his cheekbone.
The force was so great that Simon's entire head snapped to one side.
He saw stars before his eyes, and the excruciating pain contorted his face into a mask of agony.
Simon's pride in speed and power seemed like a joke in front of this group of fierce and powerful elite First Legion soldiers!
He barely managed two parries and one feeble counterattack before being completely defeated by several well-coordinated female soldiers.
The sounds of punches landing were clearly transmitted through the live broadcast microphone!
Simon was beaten back like a broken sandbag, the blood that had just dried at the corner of his mouth was reddened again, and his carefully combed hair was covered with dust and sweat and stuck to his face, making him look extremely disheveled.
Where is even a trace of the imperial general's demeanor?
[Imperial Frog: Pfft—!!! This, this is the general of the Second Legion? He's not even as good as a few greenhorn recruits?]
[User 2307842: Just to correct you, this is a former general! Also, well done!]
[StarCraft Number One Horseman: If I remember correctly, this is an A-rank female military officer, previously known as the second strongest in the Second Legion?]
[Guatian Chaxia: That's it?! Second on the combat power ranking? Even the sandbags on the training ground can carry more than him! But getting used as a punching bag by these greenhorns, it's laughable, you worms!]
