Now the Federation is struggling alone. Faced with the horrific insect plague, it seems impossible for it to clear out the surging swarm of killer bees with its own strength alone.

At this time, we can only seek help from other forces.

The closest power to Akulina's troops at the moment is naturally the Empire.

"But..." When some female soldiers heard this, their facial muscles twitched involuntarily.

"The relationship between the Federation and the Empire isn't very good either."

In fact, the officer had already said it very implicitly.

The war between the Federation and the Empire lasted for countless rounds. The two sides fought back and forth, stabbing each other mentally and fighting each other physically.

"I admit that the Empire is stronger than the Federation. Borrowing troops from the Empire seems to be a feasible solution."

"But they may not be willing to help us."

"And it seems we can't afford the military expenses."

The heart of the Federation has been destroyed, and their own logistics may not be able to hold up, so how can they spare the energy to seek help from the Empire?

"Hmph." Akulina snorted.

"Military expenditure?"

"It should be the Empire that gives us the military funds!"

"???"

The insect people in the conference room looked at each other, all of them confused.

What does Marshal mean?

If we don't ask the empire to lend us troops, then what is it for?

Is it a loan?

Or do you want supplies?

"Borrowing the Empire's military might doesn't necessarily mean we need to ask them for help—" Akulina explained to everyone.

"Everyone has always seen and remembered the Empire's ambitions for the Federation."

"They have always wanted to swallow up the Federation and turn it into their own territory."

"And to be honest..."

"The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Fleet is simply stronger than that of our Federation," Akulina said bluntly.

"But the Empire's overly arrogant attack from all sides dispersed their combat power, leading to a stalemate on several fronts."

"The commanders of the empire's various fronts are all seeking to find a breakthrough."

"If at this time——"

"Let the Empire know that the Federation is in imminent danger and on the verge of collapse under the attack of the Killer Bee Swarm. Do you think they will miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"If there is even a moment of hesitation, the Empire has coveted this territory for so many years, fought this long war with the Federation, and invested all the manpower and materials..."

"Wouldn't that be a waste of money for the killer bees?"

"so-

"Let's pretend to surrender first and ask for some military supplies."

"Wait for the Empire's fleet to charge in and fight the Swarm of Killer Bees until both are equally defeated, and then we'll come out and clean up the mess."

"Ah, this..." The insects were doubtful.

"Can you do that?"

"It's possible." Akulina looked at the dark universe.

"You have to trust people's greed."

"Send a distress signal to the Empire." She instructed the officer beside her.

"Remember to be sincere in your words."

empire.

"Fake!!"

“This is a fake surrender!!”

At the imperial meeting, a minister's saliva was flying everywhere, and the elytra behind him were trembling, obviously he was extremely excited.

"His Majesty."

"It's clear that the Federation has suffered a crushing defeat, and they're trying to take advantage of this opportunity to drag us down with them!"

"This Akulina clearly wants to use us to fight the Swarm of Killer Bees, and then she'll follow behind and reap the benefits."

"I can guarantee with my life that there is absolutely no truth in the so-called surrender."

"We absolutely cannot send troops!"

"How can you guarantee it with your life?" another minister immediately retorted.

"Our intelligence officers have investigated it clearly."

"Akulina is telling the truth."

"The entire Federation is plagued by insects. The Federation army has suffered repeated defeats. Even the capital has been occupied. They are on the verge of destruction."

"Although Akulina still has a fleet, she has no more supplies and logistics, and is in a desperate situation."

"Is it difficult to understand why she surrendered to the Empire under such circumstances?"

"Besides, this insect plague is simply a godsend."

"Previous expeditions have all been hampered by the Federation's resistance."

"Even if we dispatch 100,000 warships, we may not be able to capture a few star systems."

"And this time, Akulina is willing to cooperate, and the passage to the Federation is unobstructed—"

"Without losing a single soldier, we can obtain the entire Federation."

"If we don't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we don't know when we'll be able to seize the Federation again!"

"Nonsense!!" The minister who was refuted immediately shouted back.

"Without a single soldier?"

"It's clear that once we go, we'll be facing a fierce battle!"

"Even if Akulina truly surrendered, the Star Devourer that devoured the bee swarm clearly saw the Federation as meat in its mouth."

"And according to the information sent back by the intelligence officers from the Federation."

"The new insect swarm called the Killer Bee Swarm is definitely not an ordinary weak primitive insect swarm."

"They are a group of ferocious beasts!"

"If we want to occupy the Federation, we will have to send an expeditionary force to engage in a brutal battle with the Killer Bee Swarm."

"The outcome will be unpredictable. We don't need to devote the Empire's might to such a situation..."

"What do you mean!? Do you think the warriors of the Empire will be defeated by a bunch of ridiculous bugs!?"

Unexpectedly, the voice on the other side was louder than hers.

"Your Majesty, this fellow is spreading rumors and stirring up trouble. He's cowardly before the battle even begins, and he's shaking the morale of the army. If he's not punished, I'm afraid all the subjects of the empire will be disheartened!"

"you!!"

Soon, the faction that supported allowing Akulina to surrender and accept the federation and the faction that did not want to get involved in this matter had a quarrel in the imperial court meeting.

And it soon evolved from discussing the matter at hand to personal attacks.

This scene made the Empress of the Empire sitting on the throne feel helpless.

It was always like this. The ministers under her command formed cliques, ganged up on those who were against her, opposed just for the sake of opposing, and had completely different opinions on everything.

They quarreled and quarreled, and then completely forgot the original purpose.

People who don’t know the situation might think that the main job of these ministers is to quarrel.

The Queen knew that if she continued to ask these nobles for their opinions, it would be like talking to a cow.

So she shifted her gaze to a woman next to her who was wearing a gorgeous military uniform and had her long golden hair meticulously combed.

"Sir Alexis, what are your thoughts?"

In an instant, all the quarreling sounds stopped.

The ministers held their breath, wanting to hear what Alexis had to say—

Everyone knows how important she is to the Queen.

Her opinion is likely to determine the final outcome of this meeting.

Alexis looked up and looked around at everyone.

"My opinion, Your Majesty, is—"

"Accept her surrender."

"but……"

"We need to make some minor changes to the specific surrender process."

Chapter 565 - So-called Support

"marshal!"

The communicator reported to Akulina excitedly.

"I agree!"

"The Empire agreed!"

"It's just as you said, they accepted our surrender!"

"The empire's envoy is ready."

"The spacecraft will soon jump over and read us the Queen's will."

"I heard that the Empire has sent two legions, the Shadow Moon Wolves and the Snow Forest Falcon, to support us."

"Hu, hu——" Akulina breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's really nice."

"Let's go and meet the empire's envoy."

Soon, Akulina arrived at the starport with her officers.

Amid the twinkling starlight, an extremely gorgeously decorated spaceship leaped out of the subspace.

Then, Akulina led her troops to hold a grand welcome ceremony and accepted the imperial title.

However, during the banquet, when asking the envoy when the various supports and supplies from the empire would arrive, Akulina received an unexpected answer.

"This is it."

The envoy smiled slightly.

"General, please don't worry."

"Your Majesty is very pleased with your decision to abandon evil and join the light."

"The Empire will not treat you warriors unfairly."

"But you also know that the Empire's legion organization is different from yours."

"Providing military supplies is also a cumbersome process."

"So——" The envoy's face showed a smile.

"Let's wait until you have completed the reorganization before collecting the supplies from the Imperial Quartermaster's Office."

"But..." A little cold sweat broke out on Akulina's head.

"The killer bees are attacking us."
