Chapter 175：Beautiful Creatures by Jex Lane

Chelman's students were surprised to find that after they participated in the field survival training, General Osborne and Cecil's atmosphere completely changed. They spent almost every day together, even in class, Osborne also didn't forget to look frequently through the crowd for Cecil, as if afraid he would disappear if he took his eyes off him for a second.

If Cecil winked at him or raised his eyebrows, he would laugh like a child who'd just received candy.

In contrast, the Kyle that Cecil was very close to before was suddenly very attentive to Joshua, in every possible way.

What are these two silly pairs doing? Exchanging partners? There was no time to speculate on the mystery, because another big event attracted everyone's attention. Old Aldrich was jointly sued in military court by several powerful families for obstructing Chelman Military Academy's rescue of candidates.

In the last enrollment examination, the rescue team Osborne had led was able to rescue the candidates trapped by the phantom spiders in time, but they were delayed for half an hour because the starship's energy converter was inexplicably damaged. If Cecil had not resolved the crisis, the candidates would have been killed by the phantom spiders.

Afterwards, Osborne carried out a thorough investigation of the matter, seizing a few mentors bribed by the Aldrich family, gathering key evidence. He sent the evidence to the parents of the candidates who were trapped at the time, letting them choose how to handle it.

The Aldrich family's practices simply attracted public outrage, they wantonly trampled on their subordinates, hindering them with no scruples, even if they were comrades, they could easily sell them if it benefited their own interests. Such a family was not a pillar of the Empire, but a cancer, it was necessary to eradicate them as quickly as possible.

Under the combined impetus of several families, the Aldrich family collapsed and the Fifth Army was suddenly rudderless. Several leaders of various smaller families scrambled for control of the regiment, making the situation more confusing.

While the others were fighting, Cecil quietly followed Osborne to the battlefield, after several major battles, he established a firm foothold in the army, accumulating a large number of loyal subordinates.

It took him only three years to subdue the Fifth Army by fearless means, leading them to the battlefield's front line. He repeatedly built outstanding achievements, directly promoting the rank of his army to the Second Army, which became very friendly with Osborne's First Army.

Kyle introduced Joshua into the royal family, and since the Lennon royal family was related by marriage to the Third Army, their growth was also very admirable.

Over the years, the Lennon Empire, the Freedom Federation and the Ballou Republic repeatedly generated friction, after several armed conflicts, just as a Star War was about to erupt, the Ballou Republic's scouts received shocking news, a new Queen was born among the Zerg.

This was undoubtedly bad news for mankind. There were a variety of Zerg, mutant high-level Zerg would produce wisdom, but they were mostly fragmented, it was difficult for them to form a colony. However, every few hundred years, the Zerg would birth a Queen, which had the ability to command all the Zerg, multiplying the accumulation rate of high level Zerg by tens of thousands per minute.

It was also very greedy, it needed to eat a lot of energy cores and precious metals every day, so it needed as much teams of Zerg as possible to plunder the universe for resources. It would order the Zerg to sweep all the universe's planets, trying to make them its lair.

Its birth meant insane Zerg and mankind's demise.

So the turf wars were being put on the back burner in the face of extinction, the various forces of mankind banded together to try and kill the Queen. The Queen had very high spiritual power, but because it needed to continue breeding, it had extreme ovarian development, becoming a defenseless meat ball. It was not difficult to kill it, but surrounding it, at every moment, there were hundreds of millions of high level Zerg guards, not to mention the soldiers, even the spaceships couldn't get close.

The human coalition spent several months before finalizing the battle plan, dividing into several teams to attack from all directions in order to disperse the Zerg Army, then letting the strongest army enter the underground Zerg Nest to kill the Queen.

There was no doubt that the highly fertile Zerg would occupy this galaxy.

"So this mission can only be successful, no failure allowed!" Osborne said decisively to his men. He was the strongest in the galaxy, the vanguard army was naturally led by him.

Zhou Yun Sheng, as the second strongest, was also incorporated in the team. He knew that Osborne had died in this battle, that he had killed the Queen, but also paid with his life, so he couldn't resist an expression of disgust at the sight of Joshua and Kyle, who were also incorporated into the army.

This time, no one could drag Osborne down, if these two couldn't retreat in time, they would be buried with the Queen.

"What's wrong?" Osborne dismissed his men and pulled his frowning lover into his arms for a kiss.

"We either come back alive together, or die together in the Zerg Nest. We should never leave each other alone, can you promise me that?" Zhou Yun Sheng asked in a low voice.

"My love, that's exactly what I wanted to say to you." Osborne smiled cheerfully, without the slightest sense of tension for the upcoming war. He had integrity on the surface, but in fact, he didn't actually care about the survival of mankind. If Cecil was alive, he was alive, if Cecil died, he wouldn't hesitate to leave the world.

He was delighted that his lover had the same feelings as he did, they really were the perfect match. He pushed his lover into a cubicle, nibbling his slender neck and graceful collarbone, then released his spiritual power to hook into his.

The two men eagerly made out, they didn't have the slightest sense of tension on the battlefield. Whether it was the original Cecil, or the current Zhou Yun Sheng, dying with Osborne was the best ending.

After three days of recuperation, the Star Coalition fleet headed to the Queen's hidden planet. All of mankind was concerned about this battle, if the battle was a loss, the remaining troops would escort the rest of humanity to other galaxies to seek life.

The Zerg had hollowed out the planet and built a huge underground maze, the vanguard was flocked by the Zerg Army and scattered as soon as they entered the maze, only Zhou Yun Sheng and Osborne stayed together from beginning to end. Their ultra-mechs had long been scarred, they needed to find the Queen's hiding place before they died of energy depletion.

"I felt an unusual spiritual force." Zhou Yun Sheng communicated with Osborne through the contact channel.

"I also felt it, straight ahead." Osborne killed the group of Zerg in his way with a particle shot. The more forward they moved, that sharp spiritual force, as if it was a collection of howling evil spirits, became even more powerful, and the Zerg that came out to attack was like a tide.

There was no doubt that the Queen's lair was in front of them.

The two were in tacit understanding, they courageously fought, and finally entered a huge underground palace. Lying in the middle of the underground palace was the Zerg Queen, which was the size of a star cruise ship. Its translucent skin was squirming slightly, the next bundle of grain-sized pale yellow eggs could be clearly seen.

Zhou Yun Sheng and Osborne couldn't help but reveal astonished expressions, not because of the ugly Zerg Queen, but because a human was standing next to it, the man was pressing his palm on the Queen's skin and seemed to be stroking the eggs.

His mech was quietly parked next to him, he was also a member of the vanguard.

Zhou Yun Sheng and Osborne had no time to think, they quickly maneuvered their armor and ran toward the man. Hearing the sound, the man seemed to be startled, he immediately turned around to look, and no doubt, that man was Joshua.

"Marshal, I found the Queen, come here!" He waved his arms, shouting excitedly.

"Hurry back to your mech!" Zhou Yun Sheng snapped angrily. In the end, he really was the fate of the world's son, he'd discarded his mech in the middle of the battle and unexpectedly didn't suffer from a Zerg attack, he was even the first to find the Queen in the complex nest.

Joshua woke up from his excitement and ran towards his mech, hurriedly informing his comrades through the contact channel to immediately come support them.

The three placed the prepared bombs in the Queen's belly, the Queen knew what they were doing, but it was powerless to stop them, it could only emit whining hisses. Numerous Zerg rushed over to try to rescue it, but they were stopped by Osborne's men stationed outside the channel.

After the bomb was activated, Osborne immediately informed the coalition to evacuate the planet. When the Zerg guards chewed off the thick PU34 wrapped around the bomb, the explosion would occur.

Zhou Yun Sheng originally thought that the evacuation would be hundreds of times more difficult than the break-in, but he was wrong. The Zerg didn't even try to stop them, they just gathered around their Queen to gnaw at the bomb. The bomb was placed under the Queen's body, because its skin was too fragile, it would be punctured every time a sharp limb accidentally touched it, making yellow undeveloped eggs pour out. The chewing Zerg were afraid to get too close, they could only gather around and screech mournfully.

The last batch of coalition forces withdrew, and a few minutes later, the minor planet fell apart in a violent explosion, becoming a meteorite belt.

Whether it was the soldiers on warships, or the ordinary people on planets, they raised their arms and issued deafening cheers. They'd once again destroyed a Queen, they'd preserved the sparks of mankind's continuation, they were worthy of all the martyrs that'd died in the battle.

On this day, crystal tears rained around the stars, the people abandoned race, class, gender and other prejudices, freely embracing their neighbor.

The triumphant return of the coalition was greeted with the warmest welcomes, especially the ones with the most outstanding exploits, Osborne and Cecil, they almost became interstellar legends.

The Lennon Empire held a grand celebration feast for the soldiers, awarding military medals to the heroes at the banquet. Old Bernard and Old Matthew, respectively, were seated at the king's left and right, raking each other with contemptuous glares. In their hearts, their own grandson was the best.

The king scratched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, and when he was almost unable to sit still, the ceremony began, and he fled to the stage to honor the soldiers.
