"Your Highness! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I didn't expect that it would be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Lei Ze who came to rescue us personally!"
The man with golden hair as bright as the sun had just stepped down from his fighter plane when the camp square erupted in waves of overwhelming and enthusiastic cheers!
Some people's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and some people's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. Faced with so many Zergs outside the camp who were eyeing them covetously, they had been suppressed for too long.
"Please don't worry, the Zerg outside the camp are no longer a threat. There are a total of 20,000 mecha warriors from the Dawn Star Legion coming with me this time. They are all mecha masters who can stand on their own. You just need to wait in the camp with peace of mind. After the legion has eliminated this group of Zerg, we will immediately return to the Imperial Capital Star!" Crown Prince Lei Ze is extremely handsome, and his temperament is elegant and gentle. He just stands in the center of the square, and the warm breath like the sun has a soothing effect on people's hearts.
Lei Ze waved his hand, and military doctors in white coats, each with the same flaming golden lion head emblem tattooed on their chests, immediately disembarked from the black and gold fighter planes behind him. Each of them, carrying their first aid kits, headed towards the wounded. Hundreds of them attended to the wounded lying and standing in the center of the square, quickly bringing the critically injured under control.
"As expected of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Lei Ze! He is indeed as calm, reliable, and kind to the people as the rumors say!" Bai Xia's eyes lit up, and he was obviously a die-hard fan of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Ye Wenya glanced at Bai Xia and had a new understanding of the person in front of her.
Ye Wenya was not very interested in who Bai Xia was a fan of. Instead, the fact that he was able to come to the rescue in time made Ye Wenya feel more favorable towards the blond man in front of her.
The military doctors were helping to treat the wounded, so naturally, the uninjured students had to help as well. Ye Wenya glanced at the blond man standing in the center of the crowd in the distance and talking to the bald instructor Mu, then she withdrew her gaze without any curiosity.
However, at this time...
Ye Wenya didn't notice that the little black cat that had been following her closely actually shook its whiskers, flicked its tail twice, and walked directly towards the center of the square.
…………
Center of the square.
Instructor Mu, who had just disembarked from the patrol car, breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the students around him receive medical treatment. God knows how awful he must have felt when he saw so many Zerg in the jungle! Every one of the students participating in the practical assessment on planet K0218 is a future pillar of the empire. Losing any of them would be incredibly heartbreaking.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in time, otherwise this matter would have been really troublesome.
"Instructor Mu, judging from the number of Zerg outside the camp, the number of Zerg that entered the planet K0218 through the wormhole this time is at least 20,000. Even though the Dawn Legion's mecha team just eliminated a large number of Zerg, the casualties on the planet this time are probably not a small number. Have you thought about how to report this to the higher-ups?" The blond young man Lei Ze looked at the injured people in the center of the square, frowned slightly, and his handsome face was full of worry.
"This is all my fault! After returning to the Imperial Capital Star this time, I will take the initiative to apply to my superiors for a transfer to the border mineral star." Instructor Mu lowered his head and bowed slightly, his face full of guilt.
Although he had communicated with the higher-ups long before the large-scale Zerg invasion, he failed to discover in time that there were so many Zerg lurking on the planet due to a detection error, which led to the whole tragedy.
Even though he hadn't counted the number of students, there were at least twenty who had died before him! This was definitely an unprecedented and major mistake!
"Instructor Mu, how can you be blamed for this?" Lei Ze said earnestly, a sigh on his face. "The Zerg appearing on Planet K-0218 through the wormhole is something no one wants to see... But since it has happened, the most important thing now is not to hold anyone responsible, but to think about how to save the situation."
"This...what do you mean?"
Instructor Mu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appeared on his face. He understood the meaning of the prince in front of him too well. He was an ordinary instructor, except for being able to stand
Apart from hunting Zerg on the front line, the only thing they can do is to help others rescue the seriously injured.
But now these two things don’t seem to require him to complete them well. What does the prince mean by this?
"Since so many Zerg were able to instantly flood into the wormhole this time, it's highly likely that Marshal Xiao, who was trapped by the Zerg army, has also arrived here. This possibility is even greater now that I know there's been no news from the northern military. As long as Instructor Mu can find Marshal Xiao's whereabouts... I'm sure he'll be able to make up for his mistake this time."
"Marshal Xiao's whereabouts?" Instructor Mu's face changed slightly, and he shook his head with a wry smile. "Your Highness the Crown Prince thinks too highly of me. I couldn't even find so many Zerg hiding on the planet before, so how could I possibly find any trace of the Marshal? Aside from the wreckage of the Marshal's mecha from earlier, we haven't found any other traces of the Marshal..."
"Really? That's such a pity..."
Upon hearing this, the blond youth's face showed regret, followed by a long sigh. "I thought Marshal Xiao was such a powerful person. If he arrived on Planet K0218, he would definitely come to the camp to contact the military immediately... But now it seems that the Marshal may be in more danger than I thought. If the Marshal's mental strength is severely damaged and he can no longer transform into a beast, and can only fight with human nature, he will be in a very bad situation against the swarm of insects outside..."
In the center of the square, behind the statue of a flaming golden lion, a black cat was squatting silently in the shadow of the statue, its deep blue cat eyes staring intently at the front with a flickering gaze.
Seeing that the blond young man and the bald man in front were no longer talking, the black cat shook his whiskers, turned around and ran towards Ye Wenya.
…
This new group of mecha warriors spent about seven hours carpet-hunting the remaining Zerg and searching for the test takers.
"Your Highness, the detection equipment shows that all Zerg on the planet have been annihilated. Of the remaining 47,681 candidates, we have found a total of 43,912... As for the remaining ones, we have not yet been able to find them."
A mecha warrior in black and gold combat uniform jumped down from the mecha and saluted Lei Ze respectfully, saying, "The battleship is ready and can begin the return voyage. May I ask, Your Highness, shall we set off for the Imperial Capital Star now?"
As soon as the mecha warriors said this, the atmosphere around them became silent, and Instructor Mu's eyes were red on the spot. It went without saying that these candidates who were not found by the mecha warriors must have lost their lives in the battle with the Zerg, otherwise there would be no reason for the mecha warriors holding life detection instruments to pass by these people.
"The students were all frightened this time. We really should return to the Imperial Capital Star as soon as possible."
The blond Crown Prince pondered for a moment, nodded, sighed, patted Instructor Mu's shoulder, and turned to the mecha warrior and said, "We have a total of sixteen warships this time. Leave two ships and five thousand mecha warriors to continue searching here. The remaining fourteen warships will return to the Imperial Capital with us... Also, have someone inform the military that there's no need to send any more people. We've already dealt with things here, and it would be a waste of time. Marshal Xiao's First and Second Legions have come too far from the north to the south. It's just as good as asking them to wait for us on the Imperial Capital Star until we return."
The Imperial Army was a self-contained yet independently managed military, comprising eight legions, each commanded by one of the four Imperial Marshals. With Marshal Xiao's disappearance, the First and Second Legions were naturally the most anxious, and the first to request redeployment were also from these two legions.
But one of them is in the south and the other is in the north.
The distance was too far. Even with the use of space jump, the First Legion and the Second Legion were unable to arrive. It was the Dawn Star Legion, which was closer, that arrived in time.
"Your Highness, please be merciful. I will send someone to notify everyone and prepare to return." The mecha warrior saluted respectfully again, stood up, and hurriedly used the communicator to contact everyone and start the return message.
Following the order from the mecha warrior, the entire legion became busy.
10 minutes later.
The intelligent brain has allocated corresponding seats for all the candidates in the square. Ye Wenya looked at the number 1 displayed on the intelligent brain.
Number 2-02237-D391 followed Bai Xia and Pan Mu and boarded a black and gold space battleship together.
The black cat beside Ye Wenya jumped up nimbly and got into her backpack, leaving only its furry little head and a pair of beautiful cat eyes like sapphires exposed.
This black and gold battleship is a burly steel fortress. The height and length of the entire battleship are even larger than the size of the rest camp. At a glance, you can't even see the boundary in the distance.
The steel battleship seen in reality was far more shocking than what he had seen in his memory. Ye Wenya, who had never seen such a powerful alchemical product in her previous life, even held her breath for a moment, but was then filled with curiosity about new things.
This is probably the spirit of exploration that is deeply rooted in every mage.
Military spaceships and ordinary commercial spaceships have different uses, and the structures inside are naturally very different. In order to ensure the weapons supply of the warships, military warships directly compress the soldiers' rest areas.
therefore……
When Ye Wenya boarded the warship, she saw rows of semi-vertical, translucent sleep pods, like capsules. Each pod was small, only able to accommodate one person. This was also the resting place equipped by the military on weekdays.
"Hurry, hurry! Let's put down our luggage and lie down in the hibernation capsule. If we don't have the protection of this hibernation capsule when we make the space jump later, we will definitely vomit all over the place! We might even be seriously ill for two months after returning to the Imperial Capital Star!"
As Bai Xia put away his luggage, he complained with lingering fear, "For this kind of interstellar travel, ordinary civilian spaceships are much more comfortable. On civilian spaceships, as long as you're willing to pay, everyone can have their own room. It's not like us now, confined to a small, enclosed hibernation capsule."
"Hmm? Aren't there any extra hibernation pods here?" Ye Wenya frowned in embarrassment as she looked at the crowds of people in the lounge. "Or maybe a place for pets?"
There is no hibernation chamber for Xiao Hei. What should she do if her cat gets sick?
