Behind the battlefield, August was resting with Lan Huaili and others.
Herbert was holding a bag of nutrient solution in his hand, drinking it while listening to Auguste arranging the follow-up plan. There were several empty bags beside him.
Milje was fiddling with his laptop, paying attention to the situation on the battlefield with Lan Huaili.
"Are Chongyue and the others really not tired at all?"
Milje stared in amazement at the Zerg on the battlefield.
Lan Huaili, holding the throat lozenge the military doctor had given her, mumbled, "The Zerg have a record: the longest continuous combat time ever achieved by a Zerg supreme commander was 370 interstellar days."
This was the Zerg information that Pruno gave him permission to view when they were in the Zerg.
The record holder is Ji Wu's direct superior, Sipul, a Zerg who is good at stealth assassination.
Lan Huaili put the candy between his teeth and bit it, feeling the sound of the candy breaking through his bones and into his brain.
The information didn't mention what Sipple, who was obviously an explosive player, used to maintain his physical strength for more than a year of continuous fighting.
Lan Huaili thought about the time when he asked Pruno this question. Pruno, who always answered his questions, did not answer the question for the first time and just smiled.
Looking at the Zerg on the screen that were constantly devouring the surrounding enemies, he felt that he might have found the answer.
Eating - A way for Zerg to replenish energy.
Although there are no food such as crystals on the battlefield, there are plenty of enemies' and even companions' bodies... full of energy.
"Tsk tsk, they really have the guts to do it. I remember those creatures' shells were so hard that even our mechas had to use their full strength to break them, right?"
Milje watched Pruno bite a creature covered with bone spurs into pieces with one bite, smacked his lips, and felt a dull pain in his mouth.
Isn't this annoying?!
August rolled up the information in his hand and tapped it on Milger's head. "The mouth and digestive tract are also common weapons of all Zerg. This should have been mentioned in the military academy's information."
Milje covered the big bump on his head: QAQ "Woo"
Herbert swallowed the last mouthful of nutrient solution with a gulp, silently reducing his presence. He didn't dare say that he had forgotten this.
Lan Huaili squinted his eyes and smiled beside him.
"Knock knock"
There was a knock on the door outside the lounge, and the Crown Prince's voice sounded at the same time: "August, the meeting is about to start."
August looked up and answered loudly: "Right away."
Milje tutted again, lowered his head and whispered to his friends, "Why does it feel like he comes to meet with August every day?"
Lan Huaili shook his head helplessly and rubbed the whimpering Milje's head as a way to comfort him.
The Crown Prince completely regards August as his future chief of staff, and August seems to have the same idea.
Lan Huaili glanced at Herbert, who was concentrating on the battle plan. Perhaps in the future, one of them would become a chief of staff or a general...
But as for the future, no one knows what it will be like.
After Lan Huaili withdrew his gaze, he focused all his attention on the battlefield.
Milje had fallen asleep on the table. He had been driving the mecha for a long time in the past few days, and his mental energy was greatly consumed.
Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Herbert looked at Lan Huaili, turned off the computer, and together they lifted him onto a cushion beside them and covered him with a blanket.
Herbert looked at the sleeping Miljie and suddenly whispered in a voice that only Lan Huaili could hear: "I wonder how Jingxia is doing now?"
To be honest, apart from that quick glance on the battlefield, they hadn't seen Jing Xia for a long time.
Lan Huaili stood up and patted Herbert on the shoulder, and whispered back to him: "When we meet next time, Xiaoxia should be an adult, right?"
Herbert nodded, stopped talking, and turned back to continue looking at the information August gave him.
They had to end the war quickly and return to the empire as soon as possible.
"This battle will soon be over."
After the meeting, the Crown Prince stopped August and said this without any context.
August stopped, turned to look at the Crown Prince, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, nodded and gave a knowing smile.
This battle, controlled by an unknown hand, will be the stepping stone for the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne, and also the first act for them to show their prowess in the interstellar space.
…………
Inside the empire, three "old men" also held a small meeting in the palace.
The emperor was delighted to see the crown prince's growing reputation on the Star Network, and he elbowed Di Xiu, who was drinking tea nearby, in the waist.
Di Xiu held the teacup steadily in his hand, and with his other big hand, he blocked the emperor's elbow, almost pushing him to stagger.
Military Academy Principal Yan Ye looked at the two men with a frown on his face, feeling that he should have brought some quick-acting heart pills. These two guys had caused trouble in the empire, and someone had reported them to him!
And isn't the Emperor only slightly younger than me? How come I have white hair, but he still looks like a man in his prime?
After the emperor steadied himself, he moved to Yan Ye's side, put one hand around his old friend's neck, and smiled to himself: "Relax and don't be nervous. Nothing will happen to those kids in your school."
Yan Ye: ...
These two heartless guys!
That's war, not playing house, how could it be okay?!
Di Xiu finished his tea before putting it down to comfort the former Chief of Staff's heart, which was about to break. "In a few days, I will go to the border and send the invading creatures back to their original world."
The former chief of staff Yan Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of the tea poured by the emperor. However, the emperor's next words made the tea slide in a graceful arc in the air.
"Those guys are the collaborators I found, so there won't be any casualties on the Empire's side."
Yan Ye didn't even have time to wipe off the water he had sprayed. He looked up at Shang Di Xiu with an embarrassed look and an innocent look, with veins throbbing on his forehead.
What did you say? You brought those creatures that are causing such panic among the people at the border?!
Yan Ye took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and tried to make his tone sound calmer: "Can you really guarantee that those creatures are under your control? They won't cause any harm to people?"
Di Xiu nodded, and in his blue eyes was a determination and indifference that Yan Ye could not understand.
Yan Ye and Di Xiu exchanged glances, then glanced at the still-smiling emperor beside him. After taking a few deep breaths, he chuckled bitterly, "You guys really are..."
However, as Emperor Xiu is at the top of the cosmic pyramid, he does have the qualifications to be arrogant.
Yan Ye lowered his head and turned the teacup in his hand, watching the cool tea swaying in the cup. The surface of the water swept over the rim of the cup and slid back into the cup without spilling a drop.
He was very grateful that the Emperor Xiu was not so arrogant as to ignore everything, and that even though the Emperor Xiu had the power to transcend the world, he still watched over and protected the creatures in this world that were as tiny as grains of sand.
Yan Ye raised his head and drank the remaining tea in the cup. He slammed the cup down on the table and glared at Di Xiu. "My Qi boy is also in this team. I'll ask him about it when he comes back."
Yan Ye gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to bite the two guys, and said through gritted teeth: "It's better if you say so!"
It was a battle in which no one suffered casualties.
