Chapter 83
"Your Highness—"
Eric looked up from downstairs at the male insect that had appeared on the terrace, his eyes burning with an irrepressible fervor and infatuation as he gazed intently at the male insect high above.
Princess Hilgard was even more beautiful and attractive than she had been half a month ago, making it impossible for him to control his gaze.
The male insect on the platform gave only a dismissive glance. Then, the stained glass was closed, swallowing the beautiful male insect's figure. Eric was still unable to recover.
"Dick was sent to the frontier star system, and Celt went on a two-week honeymoon after being completely out of contact. This gave Eric an opportunity to discover the research base controlled by Celt. His research has now shifted from the planet Dicas to planet 791 on the edge of the Moroccan star system. We have now completely taken control of this planet."
Bright began to recount the progress Hill was unaware of over the past two weeks: "The research direction must be very important. We confronted the other side for three days, and in the end, because we were unwilling to damage our research results, the other side chose to surrender on their own initiative, demanding that the existing results be preserved."
Bright glanced at Sirius beside him: "His Highness Sirius has already agreed."
Hill stood before the stained-glass window and nodded slightly. It was understandable that his brother made the decisions for him when he wasn't around.
The research findings must be guaranteed, and these are all evidence of Celtic's crimes.
Bright hesitated slightly: "Eric..."
He was still waiting downstairs.
“There’s no need to see a female insect that has betrayed its master,” Hill said softly, her voice indifferent.
He said to Eric by the bathtub, "You like me? Then would you be willing to do something for me?"
For example, searching for evidence of Marshal Celtic's crimes.
Celtic had promoted Eric from colonel to brigadier general and then to major general, but Eric betrayed Celtic, showing that Eric was fickle and that Celtic did not have much affection for him.
not to mention.......
Wasn't the one he admired also Hilgard, who was a prince?
“Celt, is it under control?” Hill frowned slightly.
It is very difficult to control a 3S-class female insect, but he is the male lord of Celt and can use pheromones to make him submit or even kneel down.
At this point, Sirius frowned, but remained silent.
"Marshal Celt's situation is very strange. After you successfully advanced, Hill, he seems to be stuck in a 'greening' phase. So far, he has become half-beast, and the forced injection of pheromones has gone out of control. He is currently being held in solitary confinement."
The process of two insects going through the budding stage together should be a mutually beneficial one. The male insect advances, and the female insect, nourished by pheromones, will also have its mental problems calmed and reach its best state.
No one could have foreseen that Celtic's situation would spiral out of control, but his loss of control would only be more advantageous to the judgment against him than to control the clear-headed and rational Marshal Celtic.
"By the way, before he lost control, he sent an encrypted message to His Majesty the Insect Emperor."
Hill slightly raised his eyes, as if asking a question; his eyes were so captivating that even Bright was momentarily drawn in.
"It's an image of the attacker, the attacker is—Hessen."
——
Outside Nuka, the shielding of the entire galaxy had failed by the time Cyrus arrived, and various messages converged and were transmitted in the universe in an instant. At a certain moment, the hatch was suddenly kicked open.
The male insect had dazzling golden hair, making him look like a proud lion. His white boots were tightly bound, and his slightly raised chin gave him an air of nobility and arrogance.
"Herson—"
The enraged lion's golden eyes widened suddenly the moment it saw Hessen, and it hesitated for almost a second.
Hesen was a beautiful female insect. Because her combat strength as a single insect was not high, her body was not as tall and mighty as that of ordinary female soldiers. Instead, she had well-proportioned muscles with clean lines. But at this moment, a hideous wound appeared on her handsome face, winding from her left brow bone to the side of her face.
Ordinary wounds can be healed quickly with a treatment chamber, so the fact that Nathaniel has seen them now indicates that they are difficult to heal.
It comes from the claws of the Celts, carrying the deadly venom of the 3S Army's female insectoid race.
“My lord,” Hesen immediately raised his hand to cover his face with a handkerchief, revealing only the undamaged half of his face, “Don’t worry, I will recover soon. It just takes a while to develop an antidote.”
"You—" Nathaniel suddenly hesitated, causing Hessen's eyes to darken sharply. If there was something wrong with his face, he might be rejected by the lord.
Nathaniel originally wanted to severely whip the damned female insect that disobeyed his orders, but he was now so badly injured, with his body covered in unhealable wounds that were bleeding, that he was unable to do so.
He had intended to raise his hand to ask about the female insect's injury, but then he immediately remembered that his purpose in coming here was not to care about the female insect! So he quickly put his hand down.
He angrily shouted, "Why didn't you obey my orders! You attacked Hill without permission—"
I never gave such an order!
“My Lord,” Hessen bowed and knelt, his wound reopening as a result, his voice slightly hoarse, “I have discovered that His Highness Hilgard and His Highness Sirius are controlling the Moroccan system, one of the Empire’s most important resource planets and also the heartland of the First Army.”
Nathaniel's pupils widened slightly, his eyes instantly filled with disbelief and anger. He bit his lip: "He's messing around with that damned Sirius again! He promised me he would help me if I helped him wrest the Celtic rights from Sirius!"
He lied to me!
"Transfer me to Hill! Why did he lie to me!" Nathaniel lunged at the command console. Before the communication could even be sent, a golden connection was already established, impossible to refuse.
On the screen, the figure of Emperor Cyrus, the Insect Emperor, slowly appeared. He had the same blond hair as Nathaniel and the same eyes, like a lion ready to pounce. He possessed the majesty accumulated over the years, but his eyes were sharp and cold.
He probably thought the other side would be Hesen, but when the first male insect offspring appeared in front of him, His Majesty the Insect Emperor's gaze softened considerably.
If Nathaniel was also involved in the attack, things would become even more complicated.
His Majesty Cyrus frowned, but his voice was gentle: "My darling, don't be so willful anymore. You've gone too far this time. Take your queen back to the capital planet, and your queen father will guarantee—"
Before he could finish speaking, an angry Nathaniel interrupted him: "Why are you saying I'm being willful again! Why don't you blame Hill! I haven't done anything wrong!"
"Little one, stop fooling around." A touch of ethereal blue appeared in the scene; it was His Majesty the Insect King, as serene and otherworldly as a blue moon fallen to earth.
Cyrus frowned, feeling powerless against the ruffled lion cub. He could tolerate any of Nathaniel's capricious demands, except when Nathaniel wanted to harm his other cub.
Hill and Nathaniel were both his beloved little bugs. As the female father, he could not favor either of them. He was happy to see the adult bugs competing and showing their excellence, but he could never allow any harm to their lives.
Nathaniel's pupils widened again, an overwhelming surge of anger and resentment welling up within him: "Father, you think so too!"
He pressed the hang-up button with rapid breathing, and after discovering that he did not have permission to disconnect, he angrily smashed the power button.
Tears streamed uncontrollably from his golden eyes the moment he hung up. In a fit of rage, he overturned and smashed everything on the command platform, like a little lion who had truly lost his mind.
Until a warm embrace caught him, the lion angrily charged at the female insect's chest, ignoring her wounds, until her blood soaked his face.
He buried his face tightly in the female insect's arms, his scalding tears soaking her white military uniform.
"It's always like this! Always thinking I'm wrong! It was Hill who wronged me! Why blame me! That damned Sirius even stole Hill away!"
"It's clearly Sirius's fault! Hill betrayed me too! The male and female fathers always believe him!"
He choked up, almost unable to breathe, and Hesen tightened his embrace, gently patting the male insect's undulating back again and again.
The birth of Cyrus marked the loss of Nathaniel's status as the only male insect prince. In some matters, Cyrus was more intelligent and quick-witted than Nathaniel, which greatly angered the young Nathaniel.
He had smashed everything in the manor in his anger. When Hessen returned home, Nathaniel was smashing the last vase, and the ground was covered with shards. He walked over without looking at him and calmed the agitated and angry male insect.
And he was promised, "No insects will be able to steal your things."
The sounds from many years ago overlap with the sounds of this moment.
"No insect can steal your things."
Sirius won't work, and neither will Hilgard.
"boom--"
"Bang--"
A tremendous roar resounded, and the entire building began to shake violently. Debris fell from the starry dome, and the ground shook so much that the insects could not stand.
“Hill—” Sirius strode forward and stood protectively beside Hill. He had just passed through an advancement stage and his health had never been very good, so he needed to be taken care of.
Hill braced himself against the wall with one hand, held firmly in Sirius's arms, while Bright stepped over the swaying wall.
"Beep beep—beep beep—Powerful attack detected, shield breached! Massive destructive energy is predicted to be gathering. Master bug, please leave immediately!"
The cold, mechanical sound repeated rapidly.
“Damn it, didn’t Hesen already leave Nuk?” Sirius cursed.
“The fact that Hessen attacked has been revealed, and he did not choose to return to the Empire to face trial,” Bright said, also surprised. “He chose to take a desperate gamble!”
This is insane! A crazy madman with guts!
He returned to Nukk Star as quickly as possible, gathering strength to launch a counterattack. Since the conspiracy had already been exposed, he no longer concealed his identity and strength, having already staked everything on it.
"In short, we must leave as soon as possible!"
"Walk--"
The blood rain of thorns representing the empire drifted and rose amidst the real blood rain. Eric and a group of female insects had already taken to the air and begun their battle. The densely packed female insects rushed ahead of the aircraft, using their bodies as shields to clear a path for the male insects.
Large-scale destructive energy descended at unpredictable speeds, each impact causing female insects to fall, their blood splattering onto the surface of the aircraft and blurring the transparent metal.
"Warning! Warning! The aircraft's left wing has been hit—"
The aircraft began to veer, and although its good performance prevented it from crashing immediately, it was still hanging by a thread.
"Herson has gone mad!"
They can enter the starship once they leave Nuka, but the problem now is that with such strong firepower, they may have a hard time escaping Nuka.
A blinding white light suddenly magnified before their eyes. If the right wing were destroyed again this time, the aircraft would surely crash.
"......"
Sirius held Hill in his arms, waiting for the protective pod to automatically deploy after the spacecraft crashed, but Hill in his arms did not close her eyes.
Before the white light faded, a dark shadow shot straight up from the ruins of the building.
That is—
