Chapter 99: Coaxed into a placenta
The message popped up for a moment and displayed "Sent successfully".
Heras waited for a response, his hands clenched so tightly that he didn't even notice the marks his fingertips left on his skin.
The recovery of this planet is a first-level mission of the main planet. Logically, the main planet should receive the message within three minutes and give a timely response.
But three minutes passed.
Five minutes passed.
The message seemed to have failed to be sent and there was no response.
Heras did not wait any longer and exchanged a vigilant and sharp look with Xie Si.
"Go prepare for the beast tide, notify the Snow Tribe and the female soldiers below to enter the first level of alert."
The beast tide was so powerful that it was impossible to predict whether it would come today or half a month later. We could only do our best and leave it to fate. We began to store supplies and be on guard at all times.
The elders also understood.
The Empire not only wanted to use them to destroy Hellas, but also wanted to destroy them all in this beast tide.
What a satisfying way of killing the insect by borrowing a knife!
"We also need to go back and prepare. Please hand over those traitors to us for handling."
The elder rolled up his sleeves, revealing a very explosive muscle, and smiled kindly, making the insect feel like a spring breeze: "I will treat them well."
Those brainwashed and controlled bugs couldn't help but shudder.
Heras only caught those disturbing insects for safety reasons and had no interest in punishing or torturing them.
What's more, for a small group like this, the rules and punishments set by themselves are even more painful to the insects.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Elder."
Heras thanked him sincerely, and then whispered something to Xie Si.
Limp stretched his neck, trying to listen to what they were talking about. He got closer and closer, until his face was almost touching the back of Heras' head.
[…What are you talking about that my noble NPC cannot listen to? ]
Just as he was about to hear the shocking secret, Heras's face suddenly turned back.
The female insect's lips brushed across his cheek, and then immediately took a step back.
Limp was unable to react in time, but he didn't dodge when he did. He even moved forward a little due to inertia, which seemed quite deliberate.
"What are you doing? Are you interrupting official business? Colonel, you don't care about this?"
Xie Si took a mouthful of dog food with his eyes wide open, and was almost choked to death because he was caught off guard.
【Comfortable! 】
Limp was about to run away, but he still felt the gentle touch on his cheek.
But Heras grabbed his wrist and said, "Thanks, go ahead and make sure everything is ready. I'll go teach him a lesson."
"Okay." Xie Si looked at the two insects' holding hands sadly.
It doesn't look like he's going to teach Limp a lesson at all, but rather like he's going to do something incredible.
Limp let Horas lead him.
"You've come to see me. The living environment here is pretty good, right?"
"Yeah, it's okay." Although the wind was strong and the snow was heavy, the warmth conditions were good, and he was not particularly picky about food.
[The most important thing is, what if Heras sends me back because the environment is bad? ]
Heras became more gentle: "Do you think I will be injured in the beast tide?"
"Of course not. Stop talking nonsense, Horus. Let's spit!"
"My Lord, you trust me so much."
Heras looked at Limp with a half-smile.
"Of course," said Limp, trying to prove his close relationship with Horus. "Call me Limp."
[It would be even better if I could call you husband. ]
"Then will the Lord agree to my request? No matter what it is?"
Heras approached slowly, tilting his head slightly, and the two insects' breaths met. The warm water vapor brought a burst of moisture, which then turned cold.
[Do you want to kiss me? ]
It was rare for Heras to take such initiative, and Limp said "hmm" without hesitation.
Such a gentle voice almost coaxed Limp into becoming a placenta.
[Anything is fine, come down quickly! ]
"Then please go back to the main planet, tell him you have never left, and stay there well."
Even with his hands held behind his back, Limp did not resist until a slight clicking sound was heard.
His hands were pinned behind his back.
"ah?"
As he was stunned, the long-awaited kiss finally came, going straight in, gently yet firmly blocking Limp's voice.
"No... um... don't..." Limp was reluctant to bite Heras, so he had to use his tongue to protest against this behavior of not letting him speak.
After a while of commotion, the taste of blood filled his mouth: "I don't agree!"
Heras wiped the corner of his lips and said, "You just agreed, Lord."
"Untie it, Heras, I don't agree! I have practiced my mental strength well, I am obedient, I can help!"
Heras squatted down apologetically and looked him in the eye: "But if His Majesty wants to kill me, he will not sit idly by. If he finds out that I still have the strength to fight, he will definitely find a way to destroy all the insects on this planet."
"You're not safe here."
"Then it will still be unsafe for you to return to the main planet! What are you going to do? Are you going to never see me again?"
[I told you to rebel, so what on earth does this Broken Insect Emperor have that is worthy of your protection? He has a large army and Wuchong can fight him, what are you waiting for? 】
Limp didn't know what he was worried about. He would be the safest, and he believed that Heras would return safely.
Heras lowered his voice, but Limp heard it clearly: "I will go back. When I have enough power to overthrow the Insect Emperor, I will come back to find you."
[What? Did I hear you right? So sudden?]
The thing he had been looking forward to for so long suddenly appeared before him, and Limp was still a little bit in disbelief.
"Herath," Limp felt his heart beating fast, "you decided..."
"I have decided to resist." Heras was a little nervous. Although he knew what Limp thought of the Insect Emperor, he didn't know whether Limp would have any different thoughts about his behavior which was equivalent to "disloyalty".
Limp had never thought of this and was upset about being sent away.
"Then why are you sending me away?"
[Am I a despicable bug? Why don't you take me with you? 】
"My Lord is a male insect. It is inconvenient for you to be in the army. It is not safe enough. When you charge into the battlefield, you may not have a place to stay. My Lord should go to the main planet and wait for me to attack the palace. Then I will reunite with you."
"My Lord, don't you believe me?"
As Limp said, the Insect Emperor knew better than them how strong the army under Heras was.
The reason why he wanted to destroy Heras so deliberately was because once Heras was out of control, the position of the Insect Emperor would be completely unstable.
It was just that Heras had always been loyal and had never done anything disobedient, so the Insect Emperor did not take any drastic actions.
Heras's strength is unquestionable.
"I believe it." Limp said decisively, then turned to begging, "But on the main planet, they will force me to accept other female insects. I can't handle those families and nobles, Heras."
"I will be here soon. Besides, I also need you to pass on some news for me. I don't trust anyone except you."
Heras stuck close to Limp, trying to act coquettishly in a stiff manner: "My Lord is so kind, he will help me, right?"
