Chapter 98: Insufficient manpower, requesting... support!

Those people were clearly incited.

Heras no longer bothered about this matter. He gave an order and sent a group of female soldiers to lure those angry and indignant insects over.

Then he moved his fists and feet slightly, and the insects fell down.

Most of the ones that came out were young worms, and there were a few young worms that had not undergone secondary differentiation. The old worms were nowhere to be seen.

The female soldiers tied up the captured insects one by one and placed them on the aircraft. If a large explosion occurred again, they would immediately drive the aircraft and take them away from the planet.

There was a lot of cursing below.

"Why on earth would the Empire want to kill us all? We are clearly not a hindrance to any insects!"

"We protest!"

"Why blow up our bugs!"

"No insect nature!"

"running dog!"

"I'm going to kill you!

The military females were well-trained and stood in a row. No one paid any attention to the snow tribe members, but the cries were still loud.

It doesn't seem like I'm right, but rather like there's some bug creating the rhythm.

Limp's gaze fell on the young male insects that were shouting the loudest, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

There seem to be more male insects here than in other places.

Although the male-to-female ratio is not balanced, excluding the small insects, the female-to-male ratio reaches 15 to 1, which is completely different from the situation in other places where there are only one male insect in a hundred.

Heras flapped his wings and flew towards the direction of the explosion.

Before taking off, he winked at Xie Si, who understood immediately. Just as Limp took a step forward and tried to catch up with him, Xie Si pulled him back.

"The colonel is on a business trip. You'd better not make trouble."

Limp didn't quite understand his strange desire to win: "Yeah, okay, don't be angry, I won't follow you."

He now almost always gives Xie whatever he asks.

Heras knew this well, so he asked Xie Si to watch him. It was simply unethical. Otherwise, how could anyone keep him under control? As long as he wanted to escape, he would have endless ways to do it.

Although he had some doubts about the truthfulness of what Limp said, since he was so sincere, Xie Si couldn't say anything else.

But his eyes were still fixed on him. It was obvious that he had received orders from the colonel to keep a close eye on this male insect who would run around from time to time, lest he not only fail to help but also cause trouble for the colonel.

After the tied-up snow bugs were tired of scolding, Limp walked over and asked curiously, "I see you are not injured, why are you so angry? Are there any bugs missing among you?"

"There are a dozen missing!"

"The elders are all gone."

"A running dog is a running dog. Do you still need to find a good reason to kill us?"

Limp looked around and found that, indeed, not only was the elder missing, but Xiyang was not among the insect swarm either.

Could these be the means left behind by the Insect Emperor?

Even with this, it seems like we can't kill them? They don't have much fighting power.

Even the ordinary bugs basically escaped, unharmed, and were still able to fight and kill with weapons in hand. Only a few disappeared. It didn't look like a plan that could kill Heras.

"Who said we were going to kill you?"

Limp looked at all the bugs and patted the female soldier next to him: "Please do me a favor and pick out these bugs and put them aside."

Military female: “?”

Since when will the colonel's family be able to come to the barracks and give orders?

But for the colonel's sake, he decided to do this favor first and then report to the colonel later.

Limp didn't care about his shocked look. He looked at the swarm of insects and found that their cursing was getting quieter and quieter.

Originally, these insects were evenly distributed around the ordinary insects. As long as they shouted loudly enough, the ordinary insects would move their mouths, and it would look like all the insects were protesting and rebelling.

And they usually put the baby insects in front of themselves to block them so that they don't become the first to stand out.

The young bugs are very deceptive, and at the age of imitating others, their voices are louder than anyone else's.

But if he was singled out... with his accomplice sitting next to him, he would have been exposed no matter how you looked at it.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Seeing the pair of purple wings growing bigger and bigger in the sky, Heras should be coming back soon.

"Your elders should be safe as well."

The insects were skeptical.

But in the end, I stopped speculating about them with such malicious intent.

"Then I'll wait a while!"

"If you killed the elders, why not help us kill them too!"

Limp immediately looked at the male insect who had spoken: "Do you want us to kill you? When I see your elders, don't change your words."

Soon, Heras came back with a large string of ropes, on which were hung dozens of insects like carrots.

Xiyang was so excited that he waved his hands and feet: "It's fun! I want to do it again!"

The elder looked at the Snow Tribe members who were tied up on the ground, looking bewildered: "What? Are we moving away now?"

He told him about the explosion that had just occurred, and then asked him to count the number of Snow Tribe members present.

"Not a single one is missing. Who said there were dead bugs? You are the one who is dead!" The elder cursed directly into the air, and the Snow Clan members below did not dare to say a word.

The elder digested this for a while, and suddenly realized: "Are you saying that you almost came to blows just now?"

If Heras was a cruel officer, then what would be lying before him now would be a pile of corpses.

Explanation is no longer necessary.

If the younger generation of the family were all killed, the first thing the elders would do after coming out of the meeting room would be to find Heras and fight him to the death, without asking why.

"Why didn't you come out just now?"

"We were in a meeting and didn't hear anything. A beast wave is coming. We have to take countermeasures to avoid a few deaths."

Just as he said, in the distance, the roars of beasts could be heard one after another. In the part that did not belong to their territory, thousands of beasts were leaping forward, trying to expand their territory.

All of this indicates that a beast tide is coming.

Heras and Limp looked at each other.

Limp didn't dare to speak ill of the Insect Emperor in front of Heras, and hinted: "I think this is a coincidence, it seems that the Insect Emperor is plotting."

Heras thought for a moment, "But so far, everything seems like an accident, but it's really a coincidence that one thing leads to another."

If they follow this line of thought, if they fail to do any one of the steps well, they will be dragged into the battlefield involuntarily.

Xie Si suddenly touched his head and said, "I remember now. A bug named Eastman told me before that His Majesty the Bug Emperor wanted to kill us."

If they had killed the insects that rushed over first, they would have turned against the remaining Snow Clan and killed each other.

No matter which side has the upper hand, the final result is that both sides suffer losses, with a huge loss of insect power, material resources, and financial resources.

And at this time, a wave of beasts suddenly appeared, trampled the insects under their feet, and killed them all. Isn't it reasonable?

For Heras, doubting the Insect Emperor was tantamount to the collapse of faith, because he had been working for the Insect Emperor for so many years.

But with Xie Si's statement and Limp's guess, the truth of the matter was already before him.

"Do you want to verify it?"

Limp looked expectant.

【Finally I have waited until this day. 】

Heras felt a little dizzy, but he still tried to find the truth: "How can I verify it?"

"You just pretend to be seriously injured and dying, and then ask for help from the main star. If they help immediately, it means it's just a coincidence. But if they make excuses and keep delaying..."

Under Limp's gaze, Heras left a message in a trembling and weak voice: We are short of troops, please... support!
