EROS [Zerg]

Eros distributed the prepared documents to the officers in the conference room.

To minimize the unwanted attention his face caused, Eros tied his long hair up, trying to reduce any resemblance between himself and Lieutenant General Evanson.

The assistant's daily work involves setting up the venue in advance, preparing various meeting documents, and conveying the instructions from the command center to the heads of various departments—simple yet tedious.

After finishing his own tasks, Eros stood quietly at the door of the command room, listening to the meeting proceedings.

He always got firsthand information from the command center. Eros stood quietly to the side and listened. Unlike other female insects who needed to take notes on the meeting content, he could record everything he saw and heard in his mind.

"Given the visit of Grand Duke Cavon and other matters, the military must be on high alert for the possibility of extraterrestrial pirates launching a surprise attack. Therefore, all female soldiers of the Sixth Legion will be on combat readiness starting today, ready to conduct a thorough cleanup of any emerging interstellar criminal organizations in the vicinity." Rand raised his paw and pointed to several locations on the map displayed on the screen in front of him.

“These pirate groups’ bases will be under close surveillance. This task is assigned to you, Lieutenant General Shudan.” Rand’s gaze swept over the dozen or so lieutenant generals sitting in front of him, finally settling on the youngest-looking silver-haired female soldier.

"I will not fail in my mission, General." Upon receiving the appointment, Shu Dan immediately stood up and saluted.

Shudan is one of the very few female soldiers who can rise from commoners to high positions. At the age of fifty, she was able to become a lieutenant general. In addition to her own efforts, she was also able to become the female servant of a male insect in the Eastlan family, the second largest noble family in the empire.

His lord was Joan Eastland, who was also the younger brother of Evanson Eastland.

Eros saw all of this. If he really wanted to break through the limitations of social class and remove obstacles to his future, seducing a noble male insect with a powerful family background would be an effective shortcut.

The reason Rand is holding this meeting is that Grand Duke Kavenau, the principal of the Male Insect Academy on the main star, is coming to the Sixth Star System to pick up Luo Lan so that he can live and study in the First Star System.

As an S-class male insect, Grand Duke Kavenor could have avoided the arduous journey across interstellar space to the Sixth Star System. However, Grand Duke Kavenor declared that the Empire's return of such a high-ranking male insect offspring was a cause for universal celebration, and as the dean of the Male Insect Academy, he insisted on personally welcoming this invaluable insect offspring, Luo Lan, back into the embrace of the insect race.

The welcoming ceremony was to be organized by local government officials in the Sixth Star System, while the military's main task was to ensure the male insect's safety along the way.

Eros was sent to photocopy the notification documents to be sent to the various military districts of the Sixth Star System. His eyes lingered on the documents for a few seconds, and then his brow furrowed involuntarily.

"Are Kossi and Kenyan sons coming too?"

"Grand Duke Caveno is a male insect, so why would he come alone to the military headquarters, which is full of female insects? He must have a male insect accompanying him."

Eros's mood plummeted.

He truly never expected that even after traveling all the way to the Sixth Star System, he would still be able to meet Kenyan male here.

This male insect must be very bored.

Eros rolled his eyes inwardly. He suspected that the Kenyan male knew he was there, but then he thought to himself that he really did have paranoia.

But no matter what, avoiding male insects is always the right thing to do.

Eros's idea was good, but things didn't go as planned. When he saw the task assigned to him, Eros's temples throbbed uncontrollably.

That damn guy is in charge of arranging security for the male insects' habitat.

Grand Duke Cavon and Lord Kos were one thing, but Eros felt uncomfortable at the thought of having to meet with the Kenyan prince every day for the next few days.

In fact, he has made a lot of progress. At least he no longer trembles when he sees the shadow of a male insect while kneeling on the ground like before.

The female soldier assigned to work alongside Eros was named Goli, a rare sub-female in the military. Sub-females are better at dealing with male insects.

Erros and Golly were already waiting at the airport, ready to welcome the three males.

Eros and Goli stood side by side. The spaceship carrying the male had not yet entered the orbit of Themirel Star. Goli gently turned her head and asked Eros, "Your prosthetic eye is really beautiful. Where did you buy it?"

"?" Eros thought he had misheard.

"Sigh, there are really very few female insects who like to dress up like you. I usually don't have anything to talk about with insects." Gori sighed again, "Alas, what can we do when there are so few sub-females in the military?"

"Your hair is beautiful too. If you let it grow a little longer, you can cut it off and exchange it with those equally beautiful sub-females for their pretty parts. You know, the armor plates of sub-females are very popular with male insects. You can use them to win the favor of male insects."

Eros felt embarrassed by Gori's enthusiastic gaze: "I never thought I would see a sub-female in the military. Oh, I don't mean that sub-females are not suitable for working in the military, it's just that it's really rare to see a sub-female who is willing to become a military female."

“However, I don’t wear prosthetics.” Eros smiled and pointed to his eyes, somewhat proudly: “They’re naturally beautiful.”

"Really? My God, born with purple eyes?" Goli exclaimed in surprise. "Recently, Lieutenant General Shudan and his team seized a rescued 'bug' among the stolen goods from space pirates. I heard that the space pirates are planning to sell him for 15 million."

"This is an astronomical price!" Eros exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise as he listened to Gori continue.

"The reason that insect was auctioned at such an expensive price is because both of its eyes are pure purple-gray. In recent years, the sale of female insect organs has been very popular on the black market, and the military has repeatedly cracked down on it but has been unable to eradicate it."

"If they see your eyes, no, whatever you do, don't let them see them. You'd better buy a pair of prosthetic eyes. The Sixth Star System is not safe."

Eros felt that Goli's storytelling was a bit too contrived: "This is the military headquarters, after all."

Goli smirked: "Don't be fooled by the peaceful atmosphere in the military. Who knows if there are spies lurking in the shadows? If your eyes are seen, you might already be on their radar."

"If it were truly that safe, why would General Rand have ordered Lieutenant General Shudan to lead the army in a thorough search for the space pirates? Besides the deterrent purpose, it was also to ensure that even if there were spies within the military, those criminals could not launch large-scale military operations."

"You know so much, I can't believe you can do that." Eros nodded as if he had been taught a lesson.

Gori grinned: "You'll understand once you spend more time at the military headquarters."

“I see…” Eros chuckled, looking down. “The military headquarters is truly a magical place.”
