Chapter 119: Plotting to Usurp the Throne

Adrian was not surprised by Sean's actions. The Insect Emperor had repeatedly punished him and taken away most of his power, and now Aran was still in the palace, and Sean had no idea what was going on between him and the Insect Emperor.

The unknown breeds fear.

Sean has already lost his status as the crown prince, and he dares not gamble with the Insect Emperor's trust with the few rights he has.

Edrien set up traps step by step, and finally forced Sean to rebel.

And this... is also forcing the Insect Emperor.

The news that Sean had raised an army in the south of the city reached the ears of the Insect Emperor that day. The Insect Emperor was seriously ill and heard the bad news, and he was so angry that he vomited blood twice.

In just two days, Sean's army broke through the defenses at the border and aimed directly at the palace. The Insect Emperor issued an order while he was ill, ordering the military to send all six major corps to fight against the reactionary forces and capture Sean alive.

These corps included the Seventh Army.

Adrian changed into a female soldier's uniform in advance and sneaked into the Seventh Army. Morris, with a bandage on his right eye, inspected the troops before leaving and saw something strange among the hundreds of female soldiers below.

Adrian stood straight, but he had never been trained, so his back began to collapse after less than five minutes. Morris was standing above, and he saw something, so he suddenly jumped down from the platform and walked quickly towards Adrian.

Edric's nerves tensed. He lowered the brim of his hat, looked straight ahead, and stood up straight again.

Morris's military boots appeared in Edrian's sight. They were made of pure black leather, with a little mud on the edges of the soles. The boots were wrapped upwards, outlining the powerful muscle contours of his calves.

"Come out."

"..." Adrian heard the order and walked out of the team.

He lowered his head and averted his gaze so that Morris could only see the military cap on his head.

Morris's jaw muscles twitched twice. He stared at Adrien for a moment, then turned to his adjutant and said, "How did a female soldier who can't even stand in a proper military posture get in? He doesn't even have the basics. Drag him away and give him fifty lashes."

The adjutant glanced at Edrien, opened his mouth and hesitated, but finally nodded and said, "Yes."

Morris was about to leave after he finished speaking. Seeing this, Adrian's face changed and he quickly reached out and grabbed the corner of Morris's military uniform.

Morris paused, turned his head, and saw Adrian winking at him twice under cover.

Those green eyes were wet as if covered with mist. It seemed like he was showing weakness, but also like he was sincerely admitting his mistakes.

Morris sneered, grabbed Edrien's hand, and slowly pried open the fingers that were grabbing his shirt one by one.

"Send it to my room," Morris said softly. "I'll do it myself."

Adrian lowered his head again.

The adjutant stood where he was, his eyes moving back and forth between the two insects, vaguely sensing some strange atmosphere.

He didn't figure anything out in the end, and continued to nod and said, "Yes, Commander."

Adrian was then taken to Morris' room. Morris was obviously unhappy. He leaned back in his swivel chair, looking through documents, and put his military whip on the corner of the table.

Adrien's eyes flashed across his desk, and he said, "Captain, I want to go to the front with you."

Morris did not even raise his head.

"I can comfort you, and I will stay in the barracks the rest of the time to make sure I don't cause any trouble." Edrien approached Morris, narrowed his eyes, and said in a slow tone, "It's not safe for me to be a bug here on the Emperor Star. What if the Bug Emperor suddenly wants to attack me? It's safer for me to stay with you."

Adrian hooked Morris's finger and said slowly, "Captain, isn't that right?"

Morris snorted coldly. He didn't want to listen to Edrien's nonsense. If the center of the Imperial Star was not safe, would the battlefield be safe?

Any shell would have reduced Edrien to dust.

Emotions were churning in Morris's purple eyes. He imagined the various places where Edrian might stay. After much consideration, he actually felt that what Edrian said made some sense.

If he followed Morris, Morris would be able to keep an eye on him, but if he stayed in the Imperial Star, Adrian might be kidnapped by some scheming person and sold on the black market.

"I can let you work as a clerk for me. But if you violate military regulations, I will not let you go." Morris held the base of the military whip in one hand, knocked on the table, and threatened, "Do you understand?"

Adrian smiled and said, "Yes."

The flames of war on the border of the Imperial Star spread to various planets within a few days. All six major military corps were dispatched, and group battles broke out in multiple locations with the royal female soldiers following Sean.

Edrian had experienced war in his previous life, and this time he was in it again, and he felt the sound of cannons was even more deafening.

The fallen Zerg corpses were buried in the yellow earth of the deep trench. The legion flags were flying, and countless female soldiers crossed the trench bridge to carry out the next round of defense and attack.

Adrian was helping doctors with rescue work in the military camp. Spreaders carrying seriously injured female soldiers ran past him quickly, and the air was filled with a strong and irritating smell of blood.

It seems to overlap with the previous life and then separate again.

Edrien gathered his thoughts and stayed in the barracks, quietly waiting for news from outside.

Half a month later, the war was drawing to a close. The number of royal female soldiers Sean had was less than half of the number of the military corps. After ten days of resistance, Sean was forced to a deserted asteroid.

"Hahaha..." Sean's face was covered in blood. He had no way to retreat at this point and could only stand in the center of the stronghold holding the corpse in his hands.

The defense lines in all directions have been breached, and the female soldiers are surrounding Sean at a distance of more than ten meters.

"Prince Sean, His Majesty has ordered that you be brought back alive. If you give up resistance now, His Majesty will consider giving you a lighter sentence."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Sean raised the corners of his lips. He covered the corpse tightly in his arms. The corpse was wearing a bright yellow shirt, and every part of the body had already rotted and emitted a strange smell.

"Father..." Sean muttered to himself. He suddenly raised his head and laughed at the military women around him, "Father! It's all your fault! It's all your fault! Murihera should have died long ago...hahaha...should have died long ago..."

As he spoke, he kept backing away with the body in his arms. The pungent smell of fuel oil filled the room, mixed with a slight scent of gunpowder.

The female soldier frowned, and Sean suddenly threw down the lighter in his hand. In just a moment, fire was raging everywhere in the room.

“Ryan…”

After a loud bang that resounded through the sky, the entire house was blown into pieces. Broken tiles fell from the sky, mixed with the corpses of some unknown insects, and fell to the ground together.

Colin looked up at the black smoke rising from the ruins, rushing up to the sky, and finally dissipating slowly into the air along with the smell of gunpowder.

He tried to open his eyes wide, and for some reason a tear fell.

The last bit of love finally cleared at this moment.
