Chapter 1617 - 521: Nothing But a Horde of Bugs, an Attack
Chapter 1617: Chapter 521: Nothing But a Horde of Bugs, an Attack
Of course, there is another important reason.
That is, according to the experience recorded within the military, these Insect Swarms without a Mother Insect and not forming any scale pose little threat.
At most, they just harass the planet’s interior, and even if ignored, they won’t cause too much calamity.
This isn’t him being careless, it’s based on the experience accumulated by the Gemini Civilization in dealing with those Insect Swarms during their calamitous times.
Even if he did go to those planets to help, he wouldn’t gain much merit.
If that’s the case, why should he go for the rescue anyway? As long as he doesn’t make any extra moves and guards the duty handed to him by His Majesty the Emperor, he won’t go wrong!
"Major General, the Insect Swarm has been discovered on Colonization Star 102..."
The soldier reminded, and the Major General immediately raised an eyebrow, halting his action of tossing the tablet back, retrieving it before him again.
After examining the intelligence on the tablet carefully, he muttered to himself:
"Trouble again from that side...
Alright, I know, I’ll handle it, you may go first."
With an impatient wave of his hand, he understood why these two reported to him proactively, considering he is also a Major General and thus understands the ins and outs within the fleet.
But the two soldiers were still somewhat uneasy, cautiously asking:
"So this report... how should we reply?"
"Isn’t it stated above? Since the owner of that planet plans to handle those Insect Clan themselves, not allowing us to intervene, it should only require a notification.
We are the stationed troops of the Gemini Civilization, not some private military of a planet, should we really proactively interfere?
If anything happens, I will explain; just reply normally."
After sending the two soldiers away, the Major General shook his head and sighed.
The owner of that planet is considered a wealthy and influential figure in this Magic Array Star System, possessing Tier Six Transcendent strength, and is a relative of his current superior, a lieutenant general.
This lieutenant general once privately mobilized the fleet to intervene, resolving quite a few matters for that planet’s owner.
Even the patrol routes of the stationed troops were concentrated more towards that direction without any concealment.
The soldiers below naturally pay extra attention to that planet.
Even though that lieutenant general has now taken the main fleet to participate in the war at the New Star Zone, he still has to give some extra attention to such privilege.
Thinking about this, the Major General felt somewhat frustrated, sighing as he muttered:
"When did the military start to have so much scheming...
How can the army function well and protect the Empire when among such a group?
Should I find a chance to suggest father issue an order to rectify things..."
The Major General pondered in his heart, suddenly froze, eyes brightening, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it could be maneuvered.
Exactly, what’s the merit of merely guarding with the fleet?
Trying to do extra things is liable to backfire.
There must be some noise to draw attention!
If he can spot the army’s flaws, it is a good opportunity to showcase himself.
Even if only proposing, unable to solve independently, it could still increase his favor in front of father!
Perhaps more authority might be gained! At least can free from the situation of having to take orders from a lieutenant general currently!
"Now that these Insect Swarms have been discovered, sufficient attack records have accumulated to consider it a major issue, providing a reason for reporting.
Just say, due to the discovery of a large number of Insect Clan, suspecting it’s the work of those Believers, ask father to decide!
Then additionally propose his findings.
Yes, exactly this!"
The Major General recalled the intelligence he had recently pushed aside, eagerly pressed a special device on his desk, establishing communication directly to the home planet.
The projection quickly formed in front of him, and the Major General promptly put away his prior excitement, adopting a slightly solemn expression.
"Father..."
"I’ve told you many times, you are now a Major General of my Gemini Civilization, you should call me Your Majesty the Emperor."
The Emperor in the projection taught sternly, the Major General immediately comprehended and promptly changed his form of address.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor."
Hearing his child correct himself, the Emperor’s expression became kind once more, nodding with satisfaction.
"Remember, keep public and private matters separate; now that you’re approaching me as a Major General, you must comply with the protocol.
So what happened?"
Breathing a silent sigh of relief, the Major General quickly adjusted his mood, earnestly stating:
"Reporting Your Majesty, there is an emergency military situation in the Magic Array Star System.
Within the Magic Array Star System, several planets are experiencing Insect Swarm attacks, according to current observations, confirmed as the Insect Clan that appeared not long ago on the battlefield with those Believers.
But the attacks aren’t severe, and no trace of Mother Insect has been found.
We suspect a Mother Insect may be roaming the Starry Sky, spreading those Insect Clan.
It’s still uncertain whether it’s a remnant of the war or intentionally released by those Believers; currently, the fleet’s combat power is insufficient for searching.
Please father... please, Your Majesty, decide."
Briefly described the situation, sending the information he just reviewed to the Emperor.
But before the data had been sent, the Emperor already displayed a "just as expected" expression.
"Sure enough, it’s the Insect Clan again."
"Again? Are there other places...
Oh, sorry, Your Majesty..."
The Major General instinctively asked but immediately realized his mistake, quickly apologizing.
"Now that there are no outsiders, just this time."
The Emperor waved, did not dwell deeply, facing his child, the Emperor had nothing to keep secret, and explained:
