Xiao Fei Bai felt a sense of passivity he had never experienced before.
He was using an immense amount of mental energy.
His body felt as though it were being roasted on a fire, hovering on the edge of boiling over, and his head also began to throb with pain.
Another irritable female soldier cursed, “The lives of the imperial star and those nobles matter, but what about us? They treat us and other planets like cattle!”
“Especially that useless royal insect sent here, strutting around and can’t even operate a mech!”
“I really miss General Bai Xingluo…”
As soon as he said this, all the female soldiers fell silent.
In the past, under Bai Xingluo’s leadership, their strategic deployments were clear, and there had been no need for continuous and overburdened combat.
Bai Xingluo often neglected his own health while caring for them, engaging in high-intensity battles, which led to this severe mental turmoil.
Xiao Fei Bai sighed.
“Alright, let’s board the ship. The orders from above cannot be disobeyed.”
In order to save time, they could only treat their wounds in a rudimentary manner on the warship.
The medic bandaged the injured parts on their wings and said, “Commander, we’re running low on our advanced medicine.”
There are two ways for female soldiers to engage in combat.
One is to operate mechs, requiring a high level of mental strength; most female soldiers are unable to achieve the fusion with the mechs.
The other way is to use weapons along with their wings.
Wings have varying strengths based on the level of mental power, and if the injuries are too severe, they might even need to be amputated.
Losing their wings would mean becoming useless insects, which is worse than death for female soldiers.
Xiao Fei Bai and his team rushed back to the military encampment on the imperial star.
As soon as they landed, he went to the logistics department, hoping to request some better medicinal supplies.
But as he was collecting the items, a arrogant voice rang out from behind him.
“Wait, who allowed you to take these?”
Xiao Fei Bai frowned and put down the pen he was using to sign for the items.
He turned around, trying to keep his tone respectful.
“Officer Harvey, do you have any objections?”
Harvey was the replacement for Bai Xingluo, an officer with substantial connections.
He was a male insect, and his nose seemed to be pointing towards the sky as he looked down on everyone.
He glanced at the quantity being requisitioned and sarcastically remarked, “You need this much advanced medicine to reclaim a border planet? Do you know how expensive these things are?”
He told the female workers in the logistics department, “Don’t approve any of these.”
Xiao Fei Bai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists at his sides.
One of Xiao Fei Bai’s subordinates could no longer hold back, “Officer Harvey, what you’re doing is bullying us! The military has an annual budget, how could we not afford these medicines? When General Bai Xingluo was here, he never cut back on these supplies!”
“Huh? What did you say?”
Harvey squinted his small eyes, making his appearance even more grotesque and ridiculous. “Then you can go find your General Bai Xingluo! He’s probably sitting with the pirate group right now, plotting rebellion.”
“Harvey,”
Xiao Fei Bai finally couldn’t contain his anger any longer and said sharply, “You have no evidence, stop talking nonsense! If you refuse to approve this medicine, I’ll buy it myself.”
“Fine, I’ll see how long you can keep that up.” Harvey tossed out casually, “Gather in an hour, we’re heading to the front lines.”
With that, he strutted away.
Xiao Fei Bai opened his personal terminal and used his account balance to pay for the medicine.
One of his subordinates said, “That Harvey is clearly targeting you because you served as an aide under General Bai Xingluo.”
“Do you think I can’t see that?” Xiao Fei Bai replied, taking the heavy basket of medicine. “Alright, we don’t have much time, let’s get these injuries treated quickly; a tough battle is ahead.”
Once all his subordinates had left, Xiao Fei Bai looked at Bai Xingluo’s name in his contacts.
The depths of his eyes were heavy.
The General must be utterly disappointed with the empire now.
Regarding the turmoil involving the pirate group, the wave of unrest could no longer be hidden; a panic-stricken atmosphere spread across the star network.
【The pirate group is back again!】
【My relatives who live in the border systems told me they have all fled. Most insects couldn’t escape; they were stripped of all their possessions and locked up together. Who can save them! I take responsibility for what I said!】
【The imperial star is about to fall! What should we do? Where should we escape to?】
These posts floated on the homepage.
The insects, accustomed to a life of ease, initially failed to grasp the severity of the situation until more posts appeared, with increasingly bloody and extreme content and images.
[No way? Isn’t the imperial star the central circle? How could it fall? Am I dreaming?!]
[I’ve paid so many taxes; are you military folks just sitting around? Hurry up and drive those filthy things out!]
[Good! I’ve long looked down upon the misdeeds of the imperial royal family. Go pirate group! Overthrow the empire!]
[Is someone upstairs sick? You kneel. Licking the pirate group, when they really break in, you’ll be the first to be sacrificed.]
[It must be because Bai Xingluo sided with the pirate group, betraying the military’s secrets. That traitor!]
[Are we really doomed?]
[Don’t be so pessimistic; maybe there’s still a turnaround?]
“Turnaround?”
Yu Guangji glanced at the comments on his terminal, “That bunch of useless insects thinks they can stop us? Today, I will take the imperial star.”
“Boss, should we clarify that Bai Xingluo isn’t even with us?”
“Clarify what? I’d rather he be misunderstood more deeply. Once he sees the true colors of these insects, he naturally won’t help them and ruin my good plans.”
Yu Guangji sat into the mech.
Although his mental strength wasn’t as strong as Bai Xingluo’s, he was more than capable of operating the mech.
