Lin'er, when are you coming home?
The first thing Alina did after coming down from the battlefield was to open her communication page with Chu Yanbing, and sure enough, she received a message from him.
Looking at the time, it was an hour ago.
"Reporting to the Major General, the Zerg on the B-37 border were completely annihilated in this battle, with 348 seriously wounded and zero dead."
Listening to her adjutant's report, Alina immediately replied to her exceptionally clingy cat-like husband: "[There's still a swarm of insects along the border. I'll be back after I deal with this batch, okay? [pats cat's head jpg.]]"
"Very good, we will go to support B-36 this afternoon."
Having experienced the abundance of the magic spring, Alina refused.
As Alina's adjutant who rose through the ranks from private to major general, she was fully aware of her major general's combat capabilities and, upon hearing this, quickly relayed the order.
"yes!"
After their marriage, the two spent a few days in a sweet, intimate time together outside, when one of them was immediately called back by communications from both the royal family and the military.
According to them, it's acceptable for the emperor/marshal to work remotely occasionally, but more than a week is really going too far, as the empire still has many matters that require his decision.
Alina naturally went back with Chu Yanbing. While he was busy with political and military affairs, she mainly focused on the next batch of advanced flower fairies on the Flower Fairy Planet, and the healing potions—concentrated nectar—that were being produced one after another.
Just as this batch of flower fairies nurtured by the Demon-Gathering Plant was about to be born, Chu Yanbing had also finished most of his official duties ahead of schedule. Just as the two were preparing to go on their honeymoon, he received some very bad news.
The Zerg Queen's breeding season has started earlier than expected.
The Zerg Queen's breeding season requires a huge amount of energy. Where does this energy come from? Without a doubt, it comes from plundering the Orc Empire.
This not only means that the couple's honeymoon plans have been ruined, but it also means that the Empire's warriors will suffer another heavy blow, but all of this is for their homeland.
Although Chu Yanbing was disappointed, he felt responsible and had no choice but to take on the task, though he felt a deep sense of guilt towards Alina.
It was impossible for Alina not to feel disappointed when her expectations were dashed, but she had been mentally prepared for this when she formed a bond with him.
Seeing the other person's pitiful (scratch that, cute) appearance with their ears drooping, they even teased, "What a pity, those clothes you prepared probably won't make it..."
I don’t know when it started, but the other person has a particular fondness for taking out all sorts of beautiful clothes and dresses and putting them on her, especially during that special time of night.
One day, when Alina was exhausted from all the fuss, she happened to glance at the mountain of clothes that had accumulated around her, and she had an epiphany.
It seems that she has infected him with this quirk.
But she was mainly just dressing up his mimicry form, and mainly for points. Why didn't he pay attention to her little flower fairy form?
"It's not a pity."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yanbing's misty, icy eyes instantly turned fervent, her long, deep phoenix eyes seeming to hold a thousand unspoken words.
...
The Emperor and Marshal of the Empire, now in a state of war preparedness, are even busier. Even though Alina can transform into a little flower fairy and follow him to work, she still finds it somewhat boring.
One day, Alina, who was once again racking up points at the zoo, suddenly confirmed an idea that had popped into her head several times before—to join the army and go to the battlefield to kill the Zerg.
It wasn't just about having something to do; more importantly, she was thinking about her stagnant magic level.
To improve your magic level, practical experience is essential.
She hadn't made up her mind before because points were just too hard to earn. In this world where magic was scarce, even if she could get five times the points from her lover, it still didn't feel like enough.
But now, she doesn't think that way anymore.
Although I can't fight to my heart's content, it's still more comfortable than staying at home like a mushroom, or constantly being a mere accessory to my partner.
After making up her mind, Alina told Chu Yanbing immediately.
Chu Yanbing's first reaction was, of course, to disagree.
Although he was unaware of the points system due to the confidentiality agreement, he did know that the energy Alina used was a scarce resource in his world.
Under these circumstances, how could he feel at ease letting her join the military? After all, he couldn't possibly follow her to every battle.
As the emperor, Chu Yanbing never went to the front lines except for extremely large-scale battles.
In the end, Alina emerged victorious in this conversation. After all, the fact that increasing magic level would increase the probability of returning home was a decisive advantage for Chu Yanbing.
The emperor, who was helpless against his partner who loved adventure and combat, could only try to forge weapons for her and then add as much defense as possible to them!
So, Alina, who had only recently joined the military and was preparing for her first official battle, received a huge "package".
Under the watchful eyes of her colleagues, her expression was like this =(ΩДΩ)=
—That's way too much!
As the Zerg Queen gradually entered her breeding season, more and more Zerg invaded. Even though Alina was restricted by magical elements, it did not affect her military rank, which soared as if she were riding a flying machine.
After all, aside from her lack of endurance, her combat power has surpassed that of the Empire's strongest warrior—Chu Yanbing—making her a formidable weapon!
A top-class warship with a red base and silver embellishments soon appeared before Alina's eyes.
Several streaks of light, like shooting stars, quickly appeared in the sky above the gray earth. Before long, the group arrived at planet B-36.
From the warship, one could clearly see that the planet's surface, covered in yellow sand, was densely packed with black insectoids.
On the battlefield, the orcs fought valiantly, wiping out entire groups of Zerg with their powerful weapons. But even so, the empty spaces were quickly filled by Zerg swarms of insects descending from the sky.
It looks like it's about to trigger trypophobia in anyone who sees it.
Standing ramrod straight in front of the Red Moon's control panel, Alina was the first to send a login request.
The garrison troops, who had already received the message of support, quickly allowed them to pass.
After entering the planet, the warships pressed down lower and lower until they reached a height where they could dock with the local garrison's warships.
The two enormous steel behemoths were joined together under the protection of layers of mechs. Before long, led by the garrison's lieutenant general adjutant, Alina and her adjutant quickly arrived at the enemy warship's command room from the dark connecting frame.
"Major General Alina has arrived!"
With an barely suppressed excited smile, the adjutant addressed the lieutenant general who was directing the battle from the command center.
"You can go down now."
The boy's voice carried a cold and stern authority, and a remarkably familiar baby face appeared before Alina.
Alina, who had already read the general information about the garrison here, was not surprised when she saw Mo Zhuxi. Seeing that the other party dismissed his adjutant, she also ordered her own adjutant to go out and kill the insectoids.
Beads of sweat slid down her honey-colored forehead, and the intense battle made Mo Zhuxi's chubby cheeks puff up: "Do you need to rest for a while?"
He took a moment out of his busy schedule to ask a question.
"No need, just tell me which direction you need me to go."
As long as she has enough magic, Alina doesn't need to rest at all.
However, if her magic power is insufficient, such a short rest period is not enough for her to recover naturally.
Southwest.
The southwest is currently the weakest point in the defense. If no reinforcements arrive, Mo Zhuxi will probably have to take matters into her own hands.
"Okay, I'm off then. Good work!"
Thinking of how the other person had begged to become her apprentice (in cooking) on the personal terminal, Alina's tone unconsciously carried a hint of teasing.
Time passed second by second. Far away in the Central Star Imperial Palace, Chu Yanbing anxiously put aside his military affairs, stood up, and looked into the distance through the huge French windows.
From this angle, you can see the returning Red Moon.
*
After accurately calculating her magic power, Alina ended the battle in the southwest before the red alert line was reached. After sending a message to her superior for the day, she led her people away from planet B-36.
Back on the Crimson Moon, Alina collapsed onto the soft tatami mat in her bedroom. As for the return voyage and other matters, she naturally left them to her all-powerful adjutant.
Alina's eyelids, heavy from a long day's work, drooped slightly. Thinking of the man waiting for her in the palace, she forced herself to stay awake and sent him a message through her personal terminal to let him know she was safe.
Chu Yanbing, who had already received the news from the military, softened his tense lips the moment he heard the notification for the specially followed account.
*
She said she was going to rest on the warship for a while, but unexpectedly she fell asleep right away.
Just as the adjutant was torn between waking up his superior now and waking him up later, a message came from a familiar account.
Now you don't have to worry about it anymore.
The adjutant who opened the warship's door looked at the man walking in against the light, and his eyebrows involuntarily curved into a smile.
The general and His Majesty have a very good relationship.
Upon entering the Crimson Moon, Chu Yanbing walked effortlessly to Alina's lounge. After successfully verifying her pupils, the dark green door opened automatically.
His gaze fell on the girl who was curled up on the tatami mat, dozing off. His cold, deep eyes instantly melted into a pool of warm spring water, with a glimmer of heartache in them.
Almost silently, Chu Yanbing stepped forward and gently and skillfully pulled the person into her arms.
Alina, who was being moved, frowned slightly, her eyelids trembling, and she looked like she was about to be startled awake.
Suddenly, a strangely familiar warm touch came from my forehead.
A safe and familiar aura enveloped her entire being, and in an instant, Alina's consciousness slipped into a deeper state of sleep.
*
"Get up and eat dinner, then go to sleep."
A familiar voice woke Alina from her sleep. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a clump of black fur.
With slightly dazed eyes, she sat up in bed and finally saw the full black fur—a cute yet cool apron.
Oh right, she bought this.
"What are you cooking?"
Alina lifted the covers and put on her slippers as she spoke naturally.
"A platter of vegetables and fruits, and your favorite candied hawthorns." Chu Yanbing said, while casually grabbing a pair of loungewear from nearby and smoothly putting them on his wife.
"These are all my favorite foods! Ah Yan, you're so kind!"
Alina's hands emerged from her sleeves, and with a smile, she planted a kiss on the other person's lips.
