Chapter 1 Mingmei

Mingmei hadn't expected that the person Hu Mingli had sent to keep watch ahead of time would actually be the previously missing Wang Wenfei.

Wang Wenfei and the others also hadn't expected that the Liuying they had captured would be a fake?!

Not only did it transform into a living insect in front of them, but in the end, it was actually a humanoid insect!

After being captured and locked up in a special cage by Doron, they, a group of people, flew towards Hua Lan Star in mecha marked with the Fifth Army Corps.

On the way, the group watched the live broadcast about Hua Lan Star. The broadcast perspective switched from Mei Qiu to Mei Qiu's parents. Seeing the insect mother, who was also in human form, the group vaguely felt that they seemed to have gotten into big trouble.

"Speaking of which, the one we caught… wouldn't it be a royal insect?"

Since the one in the live broadcast was the royal insect mother, then wouldn't that guy who looked similar to the royal insect mother and eventually transformed into a human also be related to the royal insect mother?

Hearing others say this, Wang Wenfei, who had been concentrating on watching the live broadcast, was distracted and looked at the others, expressing her own opinion: "What do you think is the reason we're taking this thing to see the royal insect mother?"

"To blackmail her," Mingmei said, turning her head to look at Wang Wenfei, and said quietly, "Perhaps, the thing we caught is her child? Otherwise, why would we send it over?"

Mingmei's words were followed by silence.

That's right, the insect race, aren't all the members of a clan basically nurtured by the insect mother?

The royal insect mother, wouldn't she also have to nurture royal insects?

They hadn't heard of anything like royal insects before, only that the leader of the insect race was the royal insect mother, but now that they thought about it, it wasn't that there were no royal insects, but that these royal insects didn't show their true faces every day. How would they know anything about it?

"I'll be damned…"

The scene was filled with gasps.

"My god, are these royal insects so awesome?"

"Otherwise, how could she be the boss?"

"I want to know what flaw such a powerful royal insect has that Hua Lan Star caught?"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd rekindled their gossipy hearts, turning everyone's attention back to the live broadcast, but at this moment, the live broadcast was suddenly turned off.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

A burst of dissatisfied exclamations erupted from the crowd. Just then, Rui'an walked over and said to the commander, who was also enjoying the gossip on the command platform, "We are about to perform a wormhole jump. This time the location is at the position guarded by the Second Army Corps."

"Yes!"

The path they were taking was exactly the path that Mei Shi and Ming Yi had taken before.

However, Ming Yi and Mei Shi's strength was there, so their speed was faster.

However, it was already very fast for Mingmei and the others to reach here in a short time by taking a large starship through continuous wormhole jumps.

After all, the boundary between the Empire and the Hua Lan Star System was at the border between the Second and Third Army Corps.

It was just that the Second Army Corps and the First Army Corps were directly under the Central Star, and they directly obeyed His Majesty.

They had no personal relationship with the Sixth Army Corps.

To put it more bluntly, His Majesty would not allow them to do so.

It could be seen from the previous battles. His Majesty didn't seem very active in supporting the Sixth Army and rescuing Qi Lan Star. Afterwards, his attitude towards Hua Lan Star seemed even stranger compared to the Federation.

In addition, the few wormholes that Mingmei and the others had passed through earlier were more or less obstructed after passing through them.

It was just that the areas they had just passed through were either within the Third Army Corps or the Fifth Army Corps. Fortunately, everyone was considered "one of us," and the mark on the starship was from the Fifth Army Corps rather than the Sixth Army Corps, so they managed to pass.

However, these things also made Mingmei and Wang Wenfei realize that there were actually quite a few "internal spies" in their army corps.

At least, these people did not belong to the forces controlled by their corps commander himself.

As for who these soldiers were loyal to? Everyone had a good idea.

The next wormhole they had to cross would lead to the Second Army Corps on the other side, which would not be as easy to fool as the previous two army corps.

It was understandable that the Fifth Army Corps supported the Sixth Army Corps and suffered heavy losses, then passed by the Third Army Corps and returned to the area guarded by the Fifth Army Corps.

However, it was different if they detoured to the Second Army Corps.

His Majesty would definitely know about their arrival here, and they would definitely not be allowed to pass immediately. They might even be taken away for investigation.

However, the more they thought about it, the more their hearts turned cold, and they felt even more dissatisfied with His Majesty.

If they hadn't experienced it personally, who would have thought that His Majesty's attitude towards this matter would be so outrageous?

It was simply forcing everyone to their deaths!

If he treated the Sixth Army Corps like this today, who knew if it would be another army corps next time?

The key was that everyone didn't know what reason His Majesty had for not caring about these things.

This made people speculate even more.

"Brothers, next, we're going to have a tough battle. Has anyone thought about what we should do if we are blocked or intercepted by the Second Army Corps after we exit the wormhole? Does everyone have a rough idea?"

Rui'an never expected that the commander of the Fifth Army Corps would ask such a question at this time. Everyone present was stunned.

It was as if he hadn't thought about it at all and was actually asking them?

Everyone was incredulous and incomprehensible, making the other party blush with embarrassment, but Mu Chen could see that the calmness in the other party's eyes was completely different from the flustered appearance he was showing.

An old fox!

Mu Chen cursed inwardly. He looked up at Rui'an and Doron. The siblings were clearly unexpected that the other party would say such a thing.

Rui'an and Doron's expressions were extremely complicated.

What was wrong with this person? When their Major General explained it to him before, he looked confident that he could handle it, but now that they were almost at Hua Lan Star, what was he doing?

"Well, isn't there only fighting?" A soldier with a simple mind was asked this question and only said, "If he stops us, we'll fight him."

"Idiot, that's fighting our own people, what are you doing?" Someone next to him disagreed, saying, "Are our cannons meant to be aimed at our own people?"

"If he doesn't hit us, we won't hit him, right? We just want to go to Hua Lan Star. The key is that he wants to stop us and not let us go to Hua Lan Star."

Mingmei and Mu Chen exchanged glances in the air, both seeing the speechless look in each other's eyes.

Was it necessary to argue about this at this time?

In fact, based on the current situation, the probability of friction occurring when they rushed over was ninety percent.

Even Mingmei felt that the commander's reaction just now was not right.

Could this be a scene of "the internal spy is actually one of our own"?

"There is a way to run faster."

At this time, Wang Wenfei suddenly raised her hand. She looked at her senior, and when she saw the expression on her senior's face as if he had an eye disease, she sneered inwardly.

Her senior was doing it on purpose this time, she knew.

It was just that time was precious now.

Seeing Wang Wenfei raising her hand, the other party was also caught off guard.

After all, although their Fifth Army Corps came to help the Sixth Army Corps this time, this kind of major event, don't look at them being hot-blooded and full of energy at the moment, once the event is over and they start to review and settle accounts, their Fifth Army Corps will definitely be implicated.

But how much would they be implicated?

That would depend on whether the things they did were of their own free will or listening to others.

Did he not know that they would fight with the Second Army Corps?

But these words could not be spoken by the people of their Fifth Army Corps. How could they always be helping the Sixth Army Corps?

Thinking like this, he secretly winked at Wang Wenfei, but unfortunately, this junior of his didn't understand his good intentions at all and continued to say to herself, "This method is actually very simple…"
