Chapter 107: Sneak Attack
Amber didn't know what Fang Yun was thinking, and even if she knew, she would just laugh. He wore an eye mask, closed his eyes, and leaned back in a chair to rest, his left hand tightly grasping the long sword, and he did not relax his vigilance even in his sleep.
“Bang—!”
After an unknown amount of time, the starship suddenly shook violently, waking all the insects from their sleep. Amber sat up straight and took off her blindfold, only to see countless black creatures suddenly swarming around her, densely lying on the portholes. The largest one was as big as half of the starship, and it hit the windshield with a huge muffled sound.
Amber frowned: "What?!"
"It's a blood-sucking spider."
Ludwig raised his head and took a look, then calmly turned off the light panel. "These monsters feed on blood. They must have smelled us, so they came out in groups to hunt. There's no need to go in. The solvent can handle them. These are just small fry."
Perhaps to verify what he said, the starship was attacked and the defense system was automatically activated. A small tube was ejected from the rear of the ejection port, spraying the solvent usually used for cleaning in all directions. The vampire spiders were corroded and screamed in pain, falling out of the portholes one after another.
While the starship was clearing out the invading aliens, it slowly descended toward the planet Ghorga. Admiral Garce's voice rang out from the overhead radio:
"The combat team has arrived at the planet Golga. Please check your equipment, land and set up camp in an orderly manner. Because it is dark, visibility is low and the detectors are blocked. There may be sudden danger at any time. Activate the first level alert!"
Because there were many new recruits in the army this time, his voice was particularly serious, for fear of any unexpected situations.
Amber put on her combat helmet and goggles and prepared to join the team. Ludwig glanced at the sword in his hand, asked his adjutant for a rifle and handed it to him, saying in a playful tone, "You should throw away this toothpick stick. A rifle is obviously more suitable for the battlefield. After all, you only have two hands, so it's better to get rid of some cumbersome things."
Toothpick stick?
Amber paused when he heard this, and looked down at the long sword in his hand, which was as sharp as a blade. He wondered why Ludwig called this a toothpick stick. He almost laughed in anger:
"No, I have a light energy gun, and this sword is enough."
Amber rejected the long rifle in Ludwig's hand and got off the starship with the female insects of the Black Eagle Legion, leaving Ludwig standing there in a daze. Major General Joyce almost couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He patted Ludwig on the shoulder and said, "Hey, I've said it before, male insects are best at making trouble."
Ludwig raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and his protective personality began to show: "Being unreasonable? How is he unreasonable? A gun and a sword are enough. He looks like a fool to carry all the equipment on his body."
Major General Joyce said nothing because he felt that Ludwig looked more like a fool because he was so infatuated with love.
The place where the starship landed was a safe zone detected by instruments, because there were the least energy minerals and the fewest alien beasts here. Amber stepped on the brown land and felt that it was harder than ordinary rocks. She used her inner strength to break off a piece of it. There were many small shiny pieces mixed in it, and she didn't know if it was the energy minerals they were talking about.
"Sir, this is your first time here, right?"
Sifley appeared behind Amber like a ghost. He was smiling, and didn't show any disappointment about Fang Yun's "cheating". No one knew why he even dared to get close to Amber.
Amber turned around and looked at Severus, and felt that he was very abnormal: "Why, you have been here before?"
Sivley spread his hands. His azure eyes were not very transparent. There seemed to be something deeper hidden in them. "No, this is my first time here too. I heard that it's very dangerous here and accidents can happen at any time, so I wanted to remind you."
Amber was interested: "Really? But I always feel that you may be more dangerous."
Is Sivley a threat to him? Unfortunately, once the situation becomes chaotic, it is unclear who will win.
The two of them stood together and talked, only a few steps away from each other, with smiles on their faces, which inevitably made the insect feel subtle. Fang Yun had just taken two energy bars from the logistics department to replenish his physical strength, and ran over excitedly to give one to Sifley. After all, the taste of energy bars was much stronger than that of nutrient solution, but unfortunately they were expensive, so there were not many of them. It was only because of the male insect's face that the quartermaster gave him two.
"Sivry! Look at what I brought you..."
Fang Yun was running from a distance, and suddenly saw this scene, and his voice stopped abruptly. His face changed, and he looked a little stiff. He always felt that Amber and Severe seemed to be too close, as if something was out of his control.
Hearing this, Sivley looked at Fang Yun with a smile on his face: "Sir, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Fang Yun paused before saying, "Oh... nothing, I just went to the logistics department to get an energy bar, are you hungry?"
As if he wanted to stir up a conflict between them, Sivley glanced at Amber with his eyes flickering, and said affectionately, "No, you can give it to Amber. Maybe he is hungry. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
He turned and left, leaving the rotten stall to Amber.
Fang Yun clenched his fists and tried to hold back before rushing up to punch Amber. He shouted in a low voice, "Amber! What do you want? It's not enough that you talk nonsense in front of everyone, now you're even trying to take Severus away from me! Why do you have to target me?!"
"Stolen?"
Amber seemed to have heard something funny. "Mr. Fang Yun, I think you have misunderstood one thing. I have no interest in Severe. If your relationship is broken, you might as well look for your own reasons."
He finished speaking and glanced at Andrew who was not far away, and said to Fang Yun meaningfully: "This place does not belong to you. If you stay here any longer, you will really become a bug."
An ordinary person can still maintain his original heart in a normal class system, but once he falls into the big dye vat of the insect race's sensual pleasures, who knows what he will become in the end? Fang Yun's last bit of human characteristics is also being gradually assimilated. Perhaps in a short time, he will slowly degenerate into a worm, no different from those drunken male worms in Haze City.
Fang Yun's face changed. He felt like Amber knew where he came from. "What do you mean?!"
Amber didn't want to get involved anymore, so she turned and left. Fang Yun grabbed her shoulders and said, "Do you know something? Tell me!"
“clang——”
It was the sound of a long sword being unsheathed. Amber drew her sword without warning, turned around, and slashed at Fang Yun's shoulder fiercely. The force was as heavy as a thousand kilograms and made a sound of breaking wind. The opponent only felt his shoulder sink. He couldn't bear the force and fell to the ground with a thud. His face turned pale with pain and he was in a panic: "What do you want to do?!"
Amber was now completely certain that the person who attacked her in the bedroom that day was not Fang Yun. He simply did not have that kind of character. He looked down at Fang Yun, touching his face with the tip of his cold sword. A touch of pity flashed across his dark eyes, and he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"You were the one who ordered the slave in the Saint Teran Arena to poison me, right?"
Fang Yun's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and cold sweat broke out on his back: "What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Amber lowered her eyes and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, Fang Yun. Live well. I hope you won't be killed by Sifley."
If the other party unfortunately died on the battlefield, he would be considered lucky. If the other party was lucky enough to return alive, and the female slave in prison came out and accused him of poisoning, it would be enough to ruin his reputation.
Many female soldiers were watching them nervously, not understanding why the two male insects suddenly started fighting. Some were ready to tell Admiral Giles, but fortunately Amber only said a few words before sheathing her sword, leaving Fang Yun kneeling there in despair.
Tonight the troops camped in place to recuperate. Admiral Giles sent out a reconnaissance team to search for the nest of the "Greedy" by flying a micro-aircraft, and finally determined that there were a large number of living creatures under the energy mine in the southeast.
"Refresh yourself tonight and set out early tomorrow morning!"
Admiral Giles knew very well that tired soldiers could not fight a good battle. The two-day and two-night flight had already made the troops tired, so he ordered them to stand guard in shifts and take turns to rest.
The male insect's tent was at the innermost of the army and was also the most comfortable. Amber knew that there was a patrol team outside, so in the second half of the night she finally took a short nap wrapped in a quilt.
Ludwig came out of the meeting in the main tent. He didn't go in to look for Amber for fear of waking him up. Instead, he sat outside the male insect's tent and kept watch with the soldiers. Because they were worried that the bonfire would attract other monsters, they didn't even light a fire, but just found a place to lean against and look at the stars.
Joyce and Ludwig sat on the ground, looking at the vast night sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "Ludwig, what do you think our future fate will be?"
Ludwig raised his head and took a sip of energy. Because the temperature dropped sharply at night, he was even cold when he spoke: "Killing, killing non-stop, this is the fate of a military heroine."
As he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the male insect sleeping in the tent behind him. He paused for a moment, his eyes softened for a moment, "Until you find the insect that can only make you stop killing..."
Joyce smiled and said, "The battlefield is actually pretty good. What are your plans next?"
plan?
Ludwig needs to kill a male insect, win a battle, and then go back to marry Amber. The purpose is simple and clear, but unfortunately only one person can confide: "Joyce, win this battle."
Ludwig's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled boldly and wantonly, his eyes brighter than ever before: "Let's see whether you are promoted faster this time or I am promoted faster. That guy Lu Suti must regret not coming along. He always loves to join in the fun."
Joyce curled his lips, knowing that he would not be able to win. "Ludwig, you are still so competitive. But Lusuti will definitely not be able to come. His family is busy arranging a blind date for him. Maybe when you return, that guy will be engaged."
Ludwig murmured, "How fast."
If she had found a despicable male insect, perhaps Lusuti's life would have been ruined.
Joyce was about to say something when Ludwig suddenly sat up from the ground and pulled out the light energy gun from his waist. His angular face looked a little serious in the night, and he asked in a deep voice: "Did you hear any sound?!"
Joyce frowned: "Sound? What sound..."
Before he could finish his words, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground. It kept getting bigger and bigger, and countless black armored insects emerged from it. The smallest one was more than half a person's height. It was the "Greedy"!
Their bodies are very similar to spiders, but they have a pair of sharp claws. In order to devour energy minerals, they have been digging deep into the ground, causing the instruments to fail to detect them. Now that they have smelled the scent of a strange race, they immediately go out in groups to start hunting, and have torn a nearly three-meter-wide crack in the ground, causing the nearby mountains to shake and rocks to roll down.
The patrol teams around also noticed something was wrong. They fired their guns and shouted anxiously:
"Oh no! There's a beast attack! Go tell Admiral Giles!"
“Alert! Alert!”
"Hurry up and protect the two gentlemen and evacuate to a safe area!!"
Ludwig and Joyce rolled on the ground the moment the ground cracked and rushed directly into the tent behind them. He wanted to save Amber first, but found that she had already woken up. He infused his internal force with the long sword in his hand and stabbed it downwards fiercely, hitting the Glutton who was half out of the ground, and actually pierced through the armor that was difficult to penetrate even with a light gun.
Red blood spurted out, and Amber's profile was inevitably stained with some scarlet, which made her dark eyes look murderous, like a general who had experienced many battles.
Damn it!
Major General Joyce was shocked and widened his eyes. He couldn't help cursing in his heart. The hero that Ludwig found was too fierce. He even dared to kill the alien beast? !
Ludwig was also stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and quickly asked, "How is it? Are you injured?!"
Amber drew his sword neatly and shook off the blood on the blade. His brows were furrowed and he spoke a little faster than usual: "No, there are still many gluttons underground. The team needs to evacuate quickly. Once they come out, they will destroy the ground structure. The nearby mountains have begun to crack!"
As if to verify what he said, the next moment the ground shook more and more violently, countless pieces of rubble rolled down from great heights, and smashed down the specially made military tent.
Amber immediately escaped from the tent with Ludwig and the others, and evacuated to the starship in a hurry. At that moment, all the female soldiers entered the battle state, their eyes were bloodshot, their fingers were sharp, and their speed was so fast that they could pierce the armor of the glutton and mess up his brain with their bare hands. The scene was quite bloody.
Ludwig was undoubtedly the most powerful of these insects. In the most primitive combat state, guns would only become a burden, and only one's own weapons were the most powerful. His amber eyes turned dangerous blood red at this moment, and his expression was cruel, and he quickly harvested the lives of those greedy people.
Amber was not idle either. His long sword was indestructible after being infused with internal energy, and was even more powerful than the female soldiers' blades. Every time he stabbed out quickly, accurately and fiercely, the alien beasts were cut in half like watermelons. His results were not inferior to Ludwig's, and many female soldiers nearby were stunned.
Ludwig turned his head and found that the male insect was not staying still. A strange golden plague totem appeared faintly in his scarlet pupils. His pale cheeks were splattered with blood. Half of his face was hidden in the night, looking strange and gorgeous. His voice was low, but he could not hide his anger: "Get on the starship immediately. You should evacuate to the safe zone like Fang Yunge. It is the job of military females to eliminate alien beasts!"
"Fang Yun?"
Ambers had no intention of putting away her sword. She smiled and asked, "Are you sure he has retreated to the safe zone?"
Fang Yun's tent was not far away. Although a female soldier rushed in to save him when the monsters attacked, it was the first time Fang Yun encountered such a scene. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he crawled out of the tent. Unexpectedly, he accidentally hurt his arm. The smell of human blood attracted a large number of monsters to chase him. Forty or fifty elite female soldiers surrounded him and he was unable to deal with them.
"Help! Help! Someone come and save me!"
Before setting out for the planet Gorga, Fang Yun was full of enthusiasm for fighting, but reality was different from his imagination. He had never seen a spider bigger than a car in his life, and his legs went weak with fear. He frantically dodged the alien beasts that emerged from the ground, and retreated to the starship under the cover of the military female. However, he did not expect that those gluttons seemed to have set their sights on him and kept chasing him all the way.
Fang Yun was about to collapse: "Why do you always chase me!!"
