Chapter 575 - 250 Natural Enemy_3
In the holographic projection, an old man wearing a light golden nightgown furrowed his brows tightly as he listened to an elderly general beside him reporting on the military situation.
This was the Emperor of the Empire.
Clearly, the Emperor, too, was surprised by the sudden appearance of the Sixth Rank Insect Swarm, his customary smile nowhere to be seen. At that moment, he even asked, "Has the Empire ever encountered the Sixth Rank Insect Swarm in its history?"
"There have been over a dozen direct confrontations," reported the head of the Military Department, Vice Admiral Thomas, the old superior of Levi Sherman, as he stood to one side with his legs together, meticulously presenting his briefing.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, our military strength is more than enough to repel this Insect Swarm! According to data comparisons, this Swarm tried to stealthily attack Emperor Star a millennium ago but was ultimately repelled by the brave soldiers of the Empire!"
"Repelled?"
The Emperor was clearly displeased, "Can we not just kill the queen directly? Oh, this queen has quite a nice figure."
"Uh, Your Majesty, her lower body is still that of an insect."
"Wow, is this a new aesthetic? Isn’t that even more exciting?" the Emperor asked, squinting his eyes.
A minister standing by laughed and said, "Your Majesty is trying to use such jokes to lessen our tension."
"Indeed I am," the Emperor chuckled and then continued, "I believe our soldiers will firmly resist the second Natural Disaster."
A minister spoke up, "Your Majesty, the current situation is not optimistic. The New Federation has detonated all the bug-laying sites, seemingly intending to draw this high-rank Insect Swarm to us. If we lose too much military power in this battle, we could well find ourselves encircled by the combined forces of the Federation’s political structure."
