A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

Who's so clueless? Lan picked up the communicator and looked at it. Oh, it's Bi Shen.

Okay, I knew it couldn't be anyone else.

Lan connected the communication, and Bishen's holographic projection appeared.

"What is it?"

"I have to go out right away, just wanted to let you know."

In the holographic projection, General Bi Shen's ceremonial uniform revealed a bit of the collar of his training uniform, and his unusually askew military cap pressed down on his black hair. He had clearly just rushed over from the training ground and was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to change his clothes, simply putting on his military uniform over his training uniform.

"That bastard Orion has made some moves again. The undercover agent reported that he supposedly kidnapped a high-ranking male insect. The Male Protection Association has already included the rescue of the kidnapped male insect in the 'Military Female Obligation Regulations' overnight."

A single sentence stirred up anxiety again. Blue unconsciously rubbed the scale-like patterns on the communicator with his thumb, and shark teeth reappeared.

Bishen was on his starship, and Lan could see from the images that outside the crystal dome of his starship, three council surveillance ships were flashing in synchronized orbits, like the Sword of Damocles hanging overhead.

"They're going to add more clauses to the regulations regarding female soldiers' obligations?" Lan suppressed her anxiety, her fingertips tracing sharp lines on the porcelain surface. "Wasn't adding three clauses in last year's amendment enough? Why don't we just turn the Imperial Legion into their private army, and let them sit on my throne?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. These days, male insects are all precious treasures," Bishen grinned, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Male insects are all treasures, female insects are just cheap—what are military females anyway, right?"

He was also annoyed, as his large jaws, which belonged to his true form, were almost exposed.

These idiots.

Blue: "What trash got kidnapped again? Aren't all the male insects concentrated on the inner planet? Could Orion be a male insect that went to the inner planet to be kidnapped?"

"The kidnapped creature is said to be an unrecorded high-level male insect." Bishen pulled up the encrypted file, and the pale face of the young man appeared above the projection. "Oh, he's quite good-looking. From the abandoned far southern border planet Champs-Élysées—the place you last inspected (picked up the blond guy)."

Champs-Élysées was the former name of the planet Qili 65 in the Zerg Empire.

Lan's pretty nails suddenly grew uncontrollably, and she stabbed them into the porcelain surface of the countertop like a steel chisel, causing the porcelain to shatter with a crack.

Gao Tian turned around when he heard the sound. Lan quickly wiped away the porcelain shards guiltily, smiled at him to indicate that it was nothing, and then looked down at the young man in the holographic image.

It’s over.

Black hair and black eyes; he appeared to be a member of Takagi's clan. Okay, he roughly understood what was going on.

Orion must have tracked down the coordinates of the remaining small starship wreckage, and by chance encountered Gao Tian's people, then mistook him for a high-level male insect and kidnapped him.

Oh my goodness.

"The Xiongbao Association's surveillance ship is already outside my starship," Bishen said in a low, breathy voice. "They're demanding real-time monitoring of the rescue operation, ostensibly to 'ensure the female soldiers fulfill their obligations.' But we still haven't figured out where Orion's hideout is..."

"Intercept Orion before he returns. Prepare two warp starships." Feeling inexplicably guilty, Lan lowered his voice. "Have Bambo pilot my Prince Ship along the official route to draw the attention of the Xiongbao Association's surveillance team. You lead the Blade Fleet through the wormhole to take a shortcut, remembering to bypass the Xiongbao Association's surveillance, and quietly bring the hostages back. Make sure, make sure the hostages are safe."

"Why are you acting guilty?" Bishon narrowed his dark green eyes at him. "You know this male insect? Is this strange behavior in Orion related to you?"

"No. What does the Orion Raider have to do with me? I don't know any male Raiders, of course I don't know." Lan looked away.

Bishen looked at him suspiciously.

Lan dared not meet his gaze, feeling increasingly guilty, and was about to lose her composure.

Suddenly, the alarm blared, and on Bishen's side, a blinding blue light suddenly burst out from outside the dome of his starship.

Bishen looked up and saw the main cannon of the surveillance ship charging, with the muzzle pointing in his direction. The emblem of the Xiongbao Association was twisting and contorting menacingly in the energy flow.

Bi Shen squinted his dark green eyes.

These idiots.

Bishen slammed his hand on the table, completely ignoring the threat from the cannons outside, and sat down in the driver's seat in his command room. He turned on the external communications and then focused on checking the cleanliness of his fingernails.

Looking down closely, I saw a trace of blood between my fingers.

Sigh, sure enough, he rushed over from the training field without even washing his hands.

He slowly pulled a decorative white handkerchief from the breast pocket of his uniform to wipe his hands clean, then tossed the blood-stained handkerchief toward the flashing alarm holographic screen.

External communications are now connected.

"What's with the rush? Are you trying to kill me?" Bishen stood up, the hard soles of his military boots crunching over the handkerchief that had fallen to the ground, the sound mingling with his sarcastic laugh. He steadied the microphone for the external communication, leaning close to the screen, his emerald green eyes gleaming: "Try rushing me again and see?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the alarm went off.

It's something that doesn't appreciate kindness and insists on being rejected.

Bishen sneered: "I'll say it once: if you point your cannons at my starship again, I'll retaliate. You're really showing off. Your shot might not be enough to blow a hole in my starship, but I'd like to see if Xiongbao dares to fight me."

He was the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, the most arrogant mantis patriarch of the Zerg, who would flip a table at the slightest disagreement. He was a notorious mad dog among the princelings of the Legion faction, and no Zerg dared to mess with him.

The communication channel remained silent; the insects from the Xiongbao Association on the other end didn't even dare to talk to him.

"..." The guns of the Xiongbao Association's surveillance ship flashed for a moment before falling silent.

"Hmph." Bishen let out a mocking laugh and disconnected the external communication.

fool.

If they really dared to fight him, he would respect them as fierce women.

As a result, they chickened out after just a little scare, they were incredibly cowardly.

Save the male insect, save the male insect, it's always about saving the male insect.

bother.

Being a female soldier is fucking annoying.

That bastard Orion is so despicable. Can't he survive without males? He's always robbing males.

Mantises are naturally not very active, and they have to fight a bunch of ugly half-insects.

Bishen strolled back to the private communications area.

Lan asked him, "When are you coming back?"

Bishen looked at him: "Come back after you're done fighting. What's up? Something wrong?"

Lan: "I reckon you'll have to be at my engagement banquet with Gao Tian sometime this month, right? I also need to formally introduce Gao Tian to the people of the empire."

"..." Bi Shen rolled his eyes at Tian very obviously.

Despite my repeated advice to break up with her, this is the kind of friend who's always been the unfortunate one sitting at the head table at my wedding.

Lan pointed and criticized him: "Gao Tian is the future Crown Princess, General Shen, your attitude is very problematic."

Bi Shen: "Pah, pah, pah, you're just spouting nonsense."

Blue: "I'm going to block you."

"I'm hanging up," Bishon said to him irritably, looking down at him.

A flash of blue light, and his projection disappeared.

Lan pouted when the call was disconnected.

I don't know where Bi Shen got such a magnanimous attitude.

Gao Tian didn't do anything, he just wanted a small planet, is it really necessary to be angry like this now?

After Gao Tian saw that he had finished his call, he sat down next to him: "Shall we compare Shen Ge's communication skills?"

Lan looked at him: "? Why are you calling him 'brother'?"

"Because he really has the aura of a big brother." Gao Tianyi clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I'm convinced."

"You're crazy." Lan grabbed a spoon from the table and threw it at him.

Gao Tian caught the spoon.

Oops, I didn't throw it.
