Chapter 193
After Roy finished speaking, he did not force Locke to do anything else and turned and left.
Perhaps, not only his parents, but even he, had imagined that Locke could grow up innocently and without worries.
I don't have to bear the burden of generations of Zerg, and my hands don't have to be stained with blood.
Unfortunately...his parents passed away too early, and his health deteriorated, so this fantasy was ultimately shattered.
The more cruel secrets will be told to Locke after he gets used to the brutal war.
While he could still hold on, he wanted to do everything he could...
Under the dark sky, the stars are sparse, like the unclear future of the Zerg.
Roy took out a handkerchief, suppressed the fishy and sweet taste rising in his throat, and summoned the Minister of the Palace.
With drooping eyelashes, Roy said in a low voice: "Open the national treasury to build tombstones for those soldiers who cannot return home and comfort their families."
"Also, gather more insect troops and prepare for the next battle..."
Roy knew that the next battle would be even more brutal.
But the future of the Zerg may lie in the next war...
He had to fight!
At the same time, in the imperial palace, the queen sat on a luxurious high seat. After listening to the report from the palace servants, she was so angry that she threw the treasures to the ground.
The palace maids whose heads were broken and bleeding from being hit by objects could only kowtow and beg the queen to calm down, even though they were trembling with fear.
"Get out of here!"
The queen dismissed the palace maids with a gloomy face.
These days, the empire has been plagued by internal and external troubles.
The Zerg's reckless and large-scale war this time was not a good sign.
Not only is there no clue as to why females are disappearing so frequently, but the increasing number of males losing control and injuring people is causing panic among the people of the capital, the Fifth Star.
The storm is coming, but she doesn't know who is controlling it all...
When the captain of the guard came in with the battle report from the front line, what he saw was the mess on the ground.
After the palace maid who was waiting on the side presented the battle report, the queen skipped over the previous tragic descriptions and only saw the two words "tragic victory".
She seemed to have no idea what a miserable victory was. She curled her lips and said sarcastically, "You're not such a loser."
The captain of the guard knelt on one knee, lowered his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Queen, too many soldiers have been sacrificed on the front line in this war. The troops on the front line are no longer enough to resist the next attack of the Zerg..."
The queen said nonchalantly, "If he's dead, then he's dead. Can't we just have someone else replace him?"
"They are just some lowly males. Aren't the males in the Imperial Military Academy going to graduate soon? Let them prepare and go to support the frontline tomorrow."
"By the way, tell them that those who perform well will have a chance to apply for a match with an outstanding female."
The high and mighty female queen felt that for these people, the so-called matching application was already a great blessing.
But she never thought that people who went to the front line always had a life-and-death experience.
Even if they managed to survive, most of them were physically disabled and could only be fitted with mechanical limbs.
As disabled women, they not only do not receive any due respect and financial subsidies, but according to the Female Act, they will not even get any chance to apply for a match in their lifetime, and can only die alone and in agony...
In the eyes of the queen, living people are just chess pieces and tools that she can control.
"By the way, is the pacification team that went to the front line useful?"
The captain of the guard was silent for a moment before saying, "Shen Yinyin comforted most of the male soldiers who were on the verge of collapse, and even comforted them to the point where they fainted due to exhaustion of their mental strength. As for the others, she comforted them less."
"She is very good and kind, and she has lived up to your trust, Queen."
Hearing this, the queen sneered, "Is that all?"
“Why don’t you say that now, not only the military of the Eighth Star, but even the untouchables of the Seventh Star are praising her?!”
Faced with the queen's anger, the captain of the guard pursed his lips and said nothing.
He concealed these deliberately because he didn't want the queen to attack the girl.
But the girl was too outstanding, and the news eventually reached the ears of the queen.
"Oh, what a compliment!"
"She represents this queen! This queen was the one who made this decision. Why do those lowly soldiers and untouchables praise that bitch Shen Yinyin?!"
"Today it's praise, will it turn into support tomorrow? Will she be satisfied only if she surpasses me, the queen?!"
The queen had a ferocious expression, her fingertips dug deep into her palms, and for the first time she felt fear and murderous intent towards Shen Yinyin.
But she knew that now was not the time.
Even if she dies, that bitch Shen Yinyin should die after she is no longer of any use!
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the queen said with a smile: "Since she is so capable, let her do more work."
"The order after the transmission is that the inhibitor is too expensive and the national treasury is in deficit, so the medical team does not need to rush the work, just make sure it is enough..."
The captain of the guard frowned: "But, inhibitors are not good for frontline soldiers..."
"That's enough! You are just my dog. What qualifications do you have to question my decision?!"
"Or do you also want to betray me and support that bitch Shen Yinyin?!"
Outside the silent hall, Louis, who came to convey His Majesty's order, heard all this, especially when the other party kept calling his little wife a bitch, the veins on the back of his hands bulged and his delicate eyebrows were extremely cold.
But he finally suppressed the anger in his chest.
With a sneer, Louis found it too ironic.
Although he knew that his mother was selfish, her cruelty and cold-bloodedness always exceeded his expectations.
Such a huge empire and the lives of countless innocent people were actually in the hands of such a vicious and selfish queen.
She really doesn't deserve to be a queen!
If it weren't for his young wife, he might have just endured it all in disappointment and accepted it all, but now, he also wants to change it all!
He wants to fight for power!
We must try to pave the way for her before she comes back...
After leaving a verbal message from His Majesty to the palace servants outside the palace, Louis turned and left.
As a king, Edward noticed Louis' sudden active actions, but said nothing and acquiesced to his power struggle.
Although he didn't like Louis, it was impossible for him to hand over the empire to a leader of interstellar pirates!
His Asus had died three years ago.
Since you are already dead, then die with glory forever, instead of living in darkness and becoming a disgrace to the royal family!
"My son, I have met my father."
When Louis knelt below, Edward raised his head. His violet eyes, which were deeper and colder than those of his two brothers, were gloomy and indifferent.
The fine lines left by the years on his handsome face are not enough to conceal his outstanding looks and powerful aura.
He said expressionlessly: "Louis, I will give you my death warrior, you help me do something."
"My son is willing to serve my father."
As Louis finished speaking, a complicated death token was thrown at his feet.
From his high position, his father's voice was cold and emotionless: "I want you to kill the leader of those interstellar pirates!"
"As long as you can do this, you will be the next crown prince..."
