Chapter 147: The Indelible General is so handsome, I am completely fascinated by him...
Bang--
"Useless! All useless! I arranged everything, and yet something went wrong..." The superior's eyes flickered with gloomy anger, and his gaze upon the kneeling male insect before him was like a hidden knife. "You've been living too comfortably, have you forgotten who gave you your rights? How dare you disobey me..."
"Your Majesty, calm down..."
The kneeling male insect, Occam, lowered his head even lower. Blood gushed out from his head, which had been hit by the heavy teacup, and quickly soaked the exquisite handmade carpet on the ground. However, he did not dare to cover his head, and endured the pain with an even more humble and respectful attitude:
"Your Majesty, how dare I! It's true, it's true that the Admiral changed his route at the last minute. It seems he knew that interstellar pirates were ambushing him along his original route. There's nothing I can do!"
"I have considered remedying the situation and trying to find a new route through various channels. I even went to Fengshengheli Tower to buy information. But, you know Fengshengheli Tower's rule is not to get involved in international disputes. They won't share any information with me. I, I really have no other choice."
Occam groaned in his heart. He dared to betray the Insect King because he discovered that the Insect King intended to use him as a scapegoat when his crime was exposed in the future.
This operation is an international joint operation. If the interstellar pirates are really ambushed successfully, the losses will definitely not be limited to the Empire. If other countries make trouble, the Empire will definitely give an explanation, because the Empire is the proposer and commander of the joint anti-bandit operation.
If it is not handled properly, the empire's international reputation will become "a top despicable country that will do anything to weaken the military strength of other countries."
The empire was indeed powerful, but not powerful enough to confront the entire world.
By then, the empire would be facing a situation where it was surrounded by enemies. In order to appease the anger of various countries, the empire would inevitably have to come up with a scapegoat.
The status of this scapegoat cannot be too low, otherwise everyone will know that it is a scapegoat. Not only will it fail to calm the anger of various countries, but it will also reveal the arrogance of a powerful country. The result can be imagined.
So he became the unlucky guy selected by the Insect King.
Of course, the Empire will certainly lodge a protest at the international conference. The content of the protest is that the route map was jointly drawn up by representatives of 12 countries. How can it be certain that it was leaked from the Empire?
But this would not save the life of the scapegoat. Who would care who leaked the information? They just wanted to find an excuse to jointly weaken the empire or even erode it.
Therefore, the final result of the international conference ended with the destruction of the scapegoat and the scapegoat's family.
But he was unwilling to let himself and his family become victims of the Insect King's conspiracy, so he, who had always been cautious and showed his useless side, made an act of betrayal.
After deciding to betray, he thought of using other insects to divert the Insect King's attention to protect his own safety, so in the document he gave to Bai, he mentioned a new type of weapon that was enough to equip 20,000 military females.
He wanted to send Lalov Cecil into the water and let Bai and Love face off. These two were thorns in the eyes of the Insect King and would definitely attract the Insect King's attention, and he would be much safer.
But even so, he still couldn't sleep every night, fearing that the Insect King would find out.
He knew too well the power and cruelty of the Insect King and wanted to remedy the situation, but before his remedial actions could yield any results, news of Bai's victory in suppressing the bandits came back frequently, which directly touched the Insect King's reverse scale and put himself in trouble.
The Insect King didn't even want to show the most basic respect for the aristocratic family, and directly summoned him into the palace and scolded him.
The wound on his head caused by the teacup must be quite big. The blood flowed into his eyes and nasal cavity, choking Occam and causing him to cough uncontrollably, and his vision became blurred.
No, I can’t faint now!
Ockham gritted his teeth, forcing himself to steel himself, and continued to profess his loyalty. "Your Majesty, I would never dare to disobey you, or have two hearts. My son, May, is already your concubine and is pregnant with a prince. The honor and disgrace of the Leslie family are already tied to you. How could I be so foolish as to do anything that would harm you?"
"I'm going to say something truly treasonous. Your Majesty, you are in your prime. If my son gives birth to a prince, he might have a chance to inherit the throne in the future if you favor him. Even for this, I will pursue you to the death. How could I not take your instructions seriously and even disobey you in secret? Please understand, Your Majesty!"
Occam looked sincere, but the blood all over his head and face made him look more ferocious than sincere.
Perhaps it was because Occam's image as a fool and coward was too well established, the Insect King felt that he might not have the ability and courage to do unnecessary things, and actually believed Occam's "loyalty".
Seeing Occam on the verge of swearing, Hoover Walker stood up and helped him up. His expression changed from a savage desire to a genial one. "It was my fault that I accidentally hurt you. I will summon the imperial physician to treat you."
"No, no, no, it's my fault that I didn't fulfill your majesty's trust. I'm ashamed of myself. I was not careful when I walked and that's why I got hurt. It has nothing to do with your majesty." Ockham smiled flatteringly. "Your majesty, if you don't blame me, it's a blessing from heaven."
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault." Hoover Walker walked back to his desk, pressed the bell to summon the insect servant, and said nonchalantly:
"After you've taken care of the wound, you can go see Mei Congjun. He's pregnant now and should probably enjoy seeing more relatives. But I don't need to waste my breath on explaining what to say and what not to say."
"I understand, I understand everything. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration." Ockham hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
The Insect King didn't want to waste any more words, so he waved his hand and told the insect servant who came in to take Occam down to bandage him.
After Occam left, Hoover Walker was the only one left in the huge study.
His hand tightened slightly on the document containing the victory report.
The rustling sound of paper being crumpled was particularly harsh in the quiet study. Hoover Walker did not stop until the very textured paper became a wrinkled ball.
The study once again sank into a night-like silence. After an unknown amount of time, a cold laugh broke the silence, and Hoover Walker's greasy voice rang out: "It seems that we can't keep him any longer. Don't you think so, Milne Smith, my Third Archon?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Milne Smith, who was hidden in the secret room of the study, came out and knelt on one knee and kowtowed. "I will remove all obstacles for Your Majesty."
"Good, very good." Hoover Walker laughed. "It's worthy of being my best knife. Go ahead and make it happen. I want him to no longer be the one in charge of the military after he returns. I will allow you to use any means you want."
"Your Majesty, obeys your command." Milne Smith kowtowed again and walked out of the study step by step. The last time he looked up, a strange, mocking look flashed in his gray-blue eyes.
On the other side, Bai commanded the joint forces to once again severely damage the base of an interstellar thieves group.
Unfortunately, the leader of the bandit gang led a small group of desperadoes to escape at a desperate moment in the chaos.
Bai understood the principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy. After issuing the retreat order, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Turning to look at the representatives of various countries whose eyes were filled with excitement, he said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission. This attack will prevent the interstellar pirates from recovering in the short term."
The generous cyborg general, Lieutenant General Murphy, laughed and slapped his thigh. The slapping sound was painful, but he seemed to have no sense of pain.
"Admiral Smellid is too modest. I, LaVar Murphy, am truly impressed. He truly lives up to his title of God of War. His ability to mobilize troops and command generals is truly divinely inspired. I hope that after this collaboration, our two countries can continue to exchange ideas and establish several joint training camps!"
The human race has only reappeared in the public eye in the past five years, but their expansion speed is very fast, and their combat capabilities have only just begun to show this time, so Bai did not reject Lieutenant General Murphy's request. Having a way to understand the human race is always better than them blindly bumping into it.
When the representatives from other countries heard this, they hurried forward and proposed to cooperate with the empire to set up a training camp. Bai accepted all the offers and agreed to them all. However, Bai did not say which country to cooperate with, how to cooperate, or where the training camp would be built.
Representatives from various countries also know that Bai cannot make all the decisions. It is enough to get a "letter of intent" from Bai, and the follow-up depends on their operations.
The representatives looked at each other and tacitly changed the subject, starting to compliment Bai on his beautiful command. Bai spoke in a formal and official tone with the representatives, and it took a long time before he was able to send the representatives away.
The human representative who left last came over mysteriously and asked Bai if he planned to change his nationality. He said he could become a general here among the cyborgs and they would definitely welcome him.
He also said that their human race believed in equality for all and despised class oppression, and that it was definitely a better place to go than the empire.
Bai didn't know whether Lieutenant General Murphy was too straightforward or had other motives, as he actually slandered the Empire in front of her, a female soldier of the Empire.
Although what he said was indeed correct, Bai still felt speechless when he said it so casually.
He flatly rejected Lieutenant General Murphy's offer: "Thank you for your kindness, Lieutenant General Murphy. I was born and raised in the Empire. The Empire is our Zerg's eternal home and the greatest female father. It is true that many aspects of the Empire seem to you to be seriously ill, but if it were you, would you abandon your sick female father?"
"Perhaps you'd understand better if I called her mother," Bai said in a resounding voice. "Would you abandon your terminally ill mother and walk away?"
Lieutenant General Murphy was stunned, clearly not having considered this. After a moment, he sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I took it for granted. After hearing your story, we all admire you. We humans respect the strong the most, so I rashly proposed changing my nationality, completely forgetting the saying that a son will never dislike his mother's ugliness."
Bai: "Lieutenant General Murphy, there is no need to apologize. I just want you to understand that our empire will only get better and better. We are all working hard."
Lieutenant General Murphy: "I'll wait and see."
After seeing off the last Lieutenant General Murphy, Bai rubbed his forehead and slowly walked out of the command room, just in time to meet the eyes of Nan Qi who came to pick him up.
Nan Qi's appearance has changed, but his deep black eyes have not changed at all, which makes him feel at ease at the first sight.
"The general is so handsome that I can't help myself!" Nan Qi spoke in a low and pleasant voice with an obvious smile.
Bai did not answer, but stared at Nan Qi's eyes infatuatedly, trying to find out why he felt at ease as soon as he saw Nan Qi's eyes.
After looking for a long time, Bai still didn't find the answer he wanted.
He thought about it. He and Nan Qi still had many years to spend together. Maybe in his old age, he would understand why. But now...
Now he just wanted to hold Nan Qi tightly and make him the most important and indelible part of his life.
