EROS [Zerg]

"Ah, I am about to die a heroic death."

Rioli, with a bitter face, followed Eros's advice, immediately maximizing his defensive shield while lowering his pain level to the minimum, and then charged straight at his three teammates.

Eros's gaze remained fixed on the flickering red dots on the radar screen:

"Right now, at three o'clock."

As soon as Eros finished speaking, Annie and Damifia piloted their mechs toward the three o'clock position, flanking and grabbing Parili from both sides.

"Come on, you poor little bitches." Seeing the two black mechs charging towards him, Parili didn't use the missiles equipped in his mech. He didn't want to waste the few missiles he had left, so he directly used the honeycomb-shaped long blades that came with his mech to fight the two black mechs.

The little female insect, with little combat experience, was no match for the battle-hardened Parili.

"what!"

"Uh!"

Eros sat in the driver's seat, the speakers clearly audible the two screams of his teammates.

The screen showed that Annie and Damifia's mechs were deeply pierced by the long blades on Pariri's left and right mech arms.

Eros gripped the control stick tightly, his mind racing to calculate Rioli's speed as he charged toward Pariri.

"Another little female insect is coming." Parili had a mech attached to each of his mechanical arms. He looked at the charging mechs and thought they were getting in the way. Just as he was about to shake them off, a barrage of laser bullets shot at his mechs.

Eros did not rush up, but kept a certain distance from him and attacked Parili with the mech's built-in firepower.

"Tch, this generation of little bugs is so boring." Just as Parili was about to activate the defense system, the white mech of the annoying bug in front of her suddenly changed its attack method and rushed towards her for close combat.

Parri manipulated the mechanical arm to shake off the black mechs attached to both arms. He was trying to quickly eliminate Eros when he saw that the white mech in front of him showed no intention of fighting him. Instead, it seemed to be turning itself into a weapon and engaging in a physical self-destruction.

Based on this?

Parili felt that these little bugs didn't even have a basic understanding of their own mechs.

With her arms forming long blades, she prepared to pierce the white mecha once more, but as Chang Ren pierced the white mecha's body, Parili realized she had made a serious mistake.

His live display showed another mech charging at him at very close range.

Eros didn't have time to lower the parameters of his pain system. The feeling of his chest being pierced through was incredibly realistic, except that no blood was flowing out.

The white mech completely blocked the display screen of the silver mech piloted by Pariri.

This is a very distracting move.

By the time Pariri realized what was happening and deduced from the red dot on the screen that something was crashing into her from behind Eros's blocked view, it was too late.

A tremendous explosion resounded, and dazzling interstellar light intertwined, overwhelming the insectoids.

A few stars later, the smoke cleared, and the battle was over.

Number One team wins!

When Eros opened his eyes again, he found himself in the initial virtual space. Before he could calm himself down, he heard the little female insect's unwilling cries coming from the cockpit.

"Ugh, seriously, why can't we even beat the last place team now?!" Rioli almost collapsed onto the control panel and burst into tears.

Annie comforted her, "Don't be like that, we've already become the last place."

Upon hearing that they were now in last place, Rioli cried even harder, and Annie's attempts to comfort him seemed to only add fuel to the fire.

Eros clutched his chest; the intense pain from before had vanished without a trace, leaving only a lingering ache.

Just now... it failed.

Eros looked at the opposing team's score on the screen: [0 deaths], and felt somewhat disappointed.

"How could they not even beat the bottom-ranked team?"

The four little insects couldn't help but feel discouraged. Were they really so vulnerable?

"Hiss—" Parili held his waist. The blast had really shaken his exoskeleton. Luckily, the mech's defense was high enough, otherwise he would have been offline too: "These little bugs are really reckless."

Rubbing his now-melted exoskeleton, he was about to mock the little female insects when he discovered that the opposing team had sent them a friend request link.

? ?

Xiude clicked on the link and found it was sent by the white mech in the opposing team. He raised an eyebrow.

"They can't beat us, so they want to come and seek refuge?"

"Let's hear what he wants to do." Jessica smiled and clicked on the approval request.

I apologize for any offense I may have caused, senior.

[Are the mechs you've created modified versions of the Beewing Legion's A-star model?]

A clear voice came from the speaker. Jessica and the others were somewhat surprised. They knew that the Beewing Legion had been disbanded and retired after the Battle of Saljuan. The once glorious ace team of the Fifth Star System, the Beewing Legion, had now become a mere ink stain in the history books.

The five retired female soldiers fell silent upon hearing the name of the legion that had once brought them honor and pride.

【You actually know about the Beewing Legion?】 Jessica typed a string of text and sent it over.

The predecessors' mechs, from their wings and honeycomb thrusters to their bee-wing arm swords, all bear the mark of the A-star model. Currently, the Empire's mechs, configured by legion, have replaced the A-star model with the Bate-star model. The legions that used the A-star model, besides the Mad Butterfly Legion which disbanded 150 years ago, are the Bee-Wing Legion, which replaced the Mad Butterfly Legion.

Eros replied immediately.

"This little female insect knows quite a lot." After hearing the other party's explanation, Parili's anger, which had been ignited by the explosion, subsided considerably.

We are retired female soldiers from the former Beewing Legion.

Which military unit's female soldiers are you from?

Eros glanced at the three small female insects beside him and said directly: "[First Military Academy of the Insect Star Empire, Beginner Star Class, Comet Class.]"

"The First Star Class and the Comet Class? The immature female insects and... the disabled female insects?" Several retired female soldiers looked at each other, feeling a little guilty. Had they just bullied the little insects and the disabled female insects?

These tiny insects, just trying to finish their homework, were brutally abused like this?!

Eros was also quite agitated. The Insect Empire's Military Service Law stipulated that female soldiers could only retire at the age of 265. With an average lifespan of 300 years, retired military ranks were mostly held by elderly and frail female insects.

"So we were fighting a bunch of old female insects... and we still lost??" Rioli was even more shocked.

This result is simply too difficult for the insect to accept.

Parili felt the heaviest guilt; she hadn't felt this way at all when Gaga was indiscriminately killing people.

Just then, another message came through: "Senior...you weren't injured, were you?"

Pariri: ...
