Fast Wear’s Face Punching Frenzy 11.12

Chelman’s cadets were surprised to find that it was only after attending a wilderness survival training session that the atmosphere between Brigadier General Osborne and Cecil had completely changed. They stayed together almost every day, and even in class, Osborne didn’t forget to look at Cecil frequently through the crowd, as if he was afraid that he would disappear if he looked at him less.

If Cecil squeezed his eyes or raised an eyebrow at him, he would smile happily like a child who had gotten candy.

On the contrary, Kyle, who had previously been very close to Cecil, suddenly shushed Joshua in every possible way.

What are these two doing? Swapping couples? Before anyone could speculate on the mystery, their attention was drawn to another major event. Old Aldrich had been court-martialed by a coalition of several powerful families for intentionally obstructing the rescue of candidates at the Chelman Military Academy.

During the last enrollment exam, the rescue team led by Osborne was able to save the several candidates besieged by the Ghost Spider in time, but was delayed for half an hour due to the damage to the starship’s energy converter. If Cecil hadn’t neutralized the crisis, the several candidates would have been killed by the ghost spiders.

Osborne investigated the matter thoroughly afterward, catching several tutors who had been bribed by the Aldrich family and getting crucial evidence. He sent the evidence to the parents of the few candidates who were trapped at the time and let them choose what to do with it.

The various practices of the Aldrich family simply violated the wrath of the people, they recklessly trampled on the people who were dependent on them, and had no qualms about maiming the people who were in their way, and even if they were comrades in arms, they were able to simply sell them out under the motivation of profit. Such a family is not a pillar of the empire, but a tumor that needs to be eradicated as fast as possible.

The Aldrich family collapsed under the combined weight of several families, and the Fifth Legion was left without a leader. The situation was made worse by several deputy commanders vying for control of the legion with the support of various families.

While others were at war, Cecil followed Osborne to the battlefield without a word, and after several major battles, he completely stabilized himself in the army and had a large number of loyal subordinates.

It took him only three years to thunderbolt the Fifth Legion into submission and lead them to the front lines of battle. His repeated successes had pulled the legion’s ranking straight up to the Second Legion, becoming close friends with the First Legion led by Osborne.

Joshua was introduced by Kyle to the Third Legion, which had an alliance with the Lennon royal family, and thrived.

Over the years, the Lenon Empire had repeatedly generated friction with the Free Federation and the Barrow Republic, and after several armed conflicts, it looked like an interstellar war was about to break out, and at this exact moment, the scouts of the Barrow Republic got the exact news that the Bug Race had given birth to a new empress.

This was undoubtedly bad news for humanity. There were many different kinds of bugs, and the mutated higher bugs and beasts could also produce intelligence, but most of them worked separately, making it difficult for them to form a climate. However, every few hundred years, the insect race would give birth to a queen, which had the ability to command the entire insect race, and reproduced the higher insect beasts at a rate of tens of thousands per minute.

It is greedy by nature and needs to feed on large quantities of energy stones and heavy metals every day, so it needs the bug beasts to plunder as many of the universe’s resources as possible. It will order the bugbears to sweep the entire interstellar space and try to turn it into its lair.

Its birth meant the madness of the bug beasts and the demise of mankind.

The greatest of conflicts dissolved in the face of a catastrophe, and the various forces formed by the human race united in an attempt to strangle the Empress. The Empress possessed superhigh spiritual power, but because of its need to constantly reproduce, it had overdeveloped its ovaries and turned into a meatball with no offensive power. It wasn’t difficult to kill her, but she was surrounded by hundreds of millions of high level bug beasts protecting her at all times, not to mention the army, and I’m afraid that even starships couldn’t get close to her.

It took several months for the human allied forces to finalize their battle plan, they split into several groups to attack from all directions in order to spread out the insect and beast armies, and then allowed the strongest army to enter the underground wormhole to kill the Queen.

This battle plan was very effective, but if the execution was unsuccessful, the human allied forces would pay an extremely painful price. Most of the young and able-bodied will be sacrificed in the battle, and the remaining old, weak, women and children will become food for the insect beasts.

There is no doubt that the superbly reproducing bug beasts will take over this starfield.

“That’s why this mission is all about success and no failure!” Osborn said firmly to his men. He was the strongest man in the stars, and the vanguard was naturally led by him.

Zhou Yunsheng, as an existence second only to him in terms of strength, was also enrolled in the ranks. He was well aware that Osborne had died in this battle, he had killed the Queen but had also paid with his life, so he couldn’t help but show an expression of revulsion when he saw Joshua and Kyle, who had also been enlisted in the army.

No one is going to hold Osborne back this time, and if these two can’t retreat in time, they’ll be good for the Queen’s funeral.

“What’s wrong?” Osborne dismissed his men and took his frowning lover in his arms and kissed him.

“We will either come back alive together or die together in the wormhole, never leaving each other alone, can you do that?” Zhou Yunsheng lowered his voice to inquire.

“That, my dear, is exactly what I wanted to say to you.” Osborne smiled pleasantly, half nervous about the great war to come. He was outwardly upright and unselfish, but in reality he didn’t care about the survival of mankind. If Cecil lived, he lived, and if Cecil died, he would leave this world without hesitation.

He was glad that his lover shared the same mood as he did, they were truly a match made in heaven. He pushed his lover into the cubicle, nibbling delicately on his slender neck and graceful collarbone, and letting out his mental energy to hook him.

The two of them forgot to kiss, without the slightest bit of nervousness that they were about to go to war. Whether it was for the once Cecil or the current Zhou Yunsheng, being able to die with Osborne was the best ending.

After three days of rest and recuperation, the allied forces flew in starships towards the planet where the Queen was hiding. All of humanity was watching the battle, and in the event that the battle was lost, the armies responsible for staying behind would escort a portion of the human race to other starfields in search of survival.

The Bugs had dug up the planet and built a huge underground labyrinth, and as soon as the vanguard entered the labyrinth, they were scattered by the swarming army of Bugs and Beasts, and the only ones who stayed together from the beginning to the end were Zhou Yunsheng and Osborne. Their super-powered mechs had long been scarred, and if they couldn’t find the Queen’s hiding place again, they would die due to energy depletion.

“I sensed a trace of unusual spiritual power.” Zhou Yunsheng conversed with Osborne through the contact channel.

“I feel it too, right in front of us.” Osborne used his particle cannon to kill a bug beast that was in the way. The further they went, the more powerful the mental power that shrilled as if evil spirits were howling became, and the bugbeasts that rushed to snipe were like a tidal wave.

There was no doubt that the Queen’s lair lay ahead.

The two of them cooperated well and fought bravely, finally stepping into a huge dungeon, and in the center of the dungeon, the bug queen, which was the size of a cruising starship, was lying there, her translucent skin slightly writhing, under which was wrapped a grain of yellowish bug eggs.

Zhou Yunsheng and Osborne couldn’t help but show surprised expressions, not because of the insect queen’s ugliness, but because a human was standing beside it, and that person had covered the queen’s skin with his palms, seemingly stroking those insect eggs.

His mech was silently placed next to him, obviously part of the Vanguard as well.

Zhou Yunsheng and Osborne couldn’t think too much and maneuvered their mechs to quickly run towards the man. Hearing the noise, the man seemed startled and immediately turned his head to look over, but it was undoubtedly Joshua.

“Marshal, I’ve found the Queen, come over here you guys!” He shouted excitedly as he waved his arms.

“Hurry back to your mech!” Zhou Yunsheng scolded sternly. In the end, he was the world’s Destiny Child, discarding his mech and standing here was surprisingly not even attacked by the bug beasts, and he was also the first to find the Empress in the intricate lair.

Joshua then snapped out of his excitement and rushed towards his own mech, using the contact channel to inform his comrades to come over immediately for support.

The trio planted the pre-prepared bombs under the Queen’s belly, who knew exactly what they were doing but could do nothing about it, only letting out grunts and hisses. Countless bug beasts swarmed over in an attempt to rescue them, but they were all stopped by Osborne’s subordinates outside the passageway.

Once the bomb was planted, Osborne immediately informed the coalition forces to evacuate the planet. By the time the bug beasts gnawed away at the thick PU34 wrapped around the outer layer of the bomb, the time for the explosion should also be up.

Zhou Yunsheng originally thought that evacuating would be hundreds of times more difficult than breaking out, but he was wrong, the bug beasts didn’t catch up at all, but instead surrounded the Empress to nibble on the bomb. The bomb was placed underneath the empress because her skin was too fragile, and when touched slightly by the sharp limbs, it would break open a hole and bleed out yellowish colored eggs that were not yet fully developed, resulting in the bug beasts not daring to come closer after a few bites, and could only squeak and wow and yell around her.

The last of the coalition forces withdrew without incident, and a few minutes later the asteroid fell apart in a violent explosion, becoming a belt of meteorites floating in the universe.

Both the soldiers on the battleships and the ordinary people on the planet raised their arms and let out deafening cheers. They had once again achieved victory by destroying the Empress, they had preserved the spark of human reproduction, and they were worthy of all the martyrs who had died in the battle.

It was a day when crystalline tears were sprinkled across the stars, and people embraced without prejudice, eschewing prejudice of race, class, and gender.

The triumphant return of the allied forces was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm, and Osborne and Cecil, in particular, the most decorated men of the war, became almost interstellar legends.

The Lenon Empire held a grand celebration banquet for the warriors, during which all the meritorious soldiers were awarded military medals. Old Bernard and Old Matthew sat on the king’s right and left hands respectively, looking at each other askance with contempt. In their hearts, their grandsons were the best.

The king rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, and just as he was about to sit down, the awards ceremony began, and he immediately ran up to the stage to honor the warriors.

Rows and rows of shining military medals were laid out on the long table, and the two most conspicuous of the special military medals undoubtedly belonged to Osborne and Cecil. The King pinned the military medals to the chests of both men and asked them to make a speech.

The two men remembered their fallen comrades and said that it was their honor to defend the Empire, and the audience stood up and applauded enthusiastically, then stared with round-eyed expressions of surprise.

Only to see Osborne suddenly hugging Cecil, his big hand covering the back of his head, giving him a solid kiss, and said in a mute voice, “Before we set out, we had promised each other that we would either come back alive together, or we would die together in the Worm’s Den. Now that we have returned alive, we hope to walk hand in hand every day of the future with the same determination and lack of remorse that we felt then. Cecil, will you?”

What the fuck? This is a marriage proposal? The audience at the scene boiled over, and the netizens watching the live broadcast on the Star Network also went crazy with joy, I don’t know who shouted ‘together’, followed by a flood of ‘together’ that drowned the two.

Old Matthew and Old Bernard’s faces were very ugly, and they glared viciously at each other before turning their heads away with cold grunts in unison. All of Interstellar wanted the two to be united, and they couldn’t say anything.

Only the king’s face was somewhat subtle. With the First and Second Legions united, they were bound to become the most powerful presence in the empire, and the position of the royal family would be even more precarious. But he obviously wouldn’t show his mind and could only gracefully applaud.

When the kiss ended, Zhou Yunsheng did not give a reply, but grabbed the hair on the back of the man’s head and bit him hard on the lips, the happy and joyful expression shining brighter than the sun.

No doubt that’s a yes.

————————————————————————-

Following the overthrow of the Bug Queen, the two Marshals were united, and they were known as the most compatible husband and wife ever, inseparable wherever they went, and Marshal Osborne’s eyes looking at Marshal Cecil were forever filled with faint smiles and strong warmth.

Joshua also received the First Class Military Medal of Merit and was married in a grand ceremony to Kyle, becoming the Second Imperial Consort of the Empire. The Grand Prince married the daughter of the Marshal of the Third Legion and became the helmsman of the Third Legion, and was also made Crown Prince by the old King.

But soon, he and his consort were killed by interstellar pirates during a trip, causing the Third Legion to fall into disarray. While Joshua was not able to take control of the First Legion as fate had set out to do, he quickly conquered the Third Legion and became one of the Five Marshals of the Empire.

He was severely injured in a battle and woke up with a steep increase in mental power to rank 3S and a physique of 2S, making him one of the top interstellar powerhouses. He won many battles and his status was soon equal to Osborne and Cecil.

Meanwhile, Kyle inherits the throne of the Lennon Empire and suppresses several other legions without a trace.

Although their destinies were slightly off track, Joshua and Kyle were, after all, the sons of destiny and still climbed to the heights they were supposed to reach. Every time Zhou Yunsheng received news of Joshua’s another battle success, he could only sigh at the world’s consciousness’ favoritism towards him.

After only a year of such comfort, the Lennon Empire’s scouts brought back news that shocked all the stars, the Bugs had given birth to another empress.

How is this possible! The bug race would only give birth to a queen every two to three hundred years, and this was caused by the evolutionary laws of the bug race. A bug beast that is lucky enough to become a queen needs to go through at least a few thousand evolutions and molts, which is a very long process, and it will secrete a scent when it has evolved to a certain level, which can lure males and at the same time inhibit the female’s evolution.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and even bugs understand this. Female bugs that have been inhibited from evolving will need at least 50 or 60 years to completely get rid of this odor.

So it was simply impossible for a queen to appear in the current bug race, at least there had never been one in interstellar history. However, the credibility of the intelligence was confirmed by a bug egg brought back by the scouts, which was accidentally left behind by a male bug during the carrying process.

The egg was fully developed and fresh, and after being examined by a special instrument, it was found to have been laid in the last week, and was stained with the odor that belonged uniquely to the Queen of the Bugs.

The recently ended interstellar war started again, the human alliance sent troops to sweep the planet where the bug eggs were found, but no trace of the Queen was found, just when they thought that the intelligence was wrong, an army of bugs plundered several planets inhabited by humans and robbed all the mineral resources.

One can guess that it was all used to feed the queen to nurse the bug eggs. The Queen had evacuated early before the allied forces attacked, and it was feared that its intelligence was higher than any previous Queen.

The allied forces began to search for the Empress in the starfield, which was destined to be a protracted war. The third legion led by Joshua managed to successfully complete the task of strangling the bug beasts every time, on the contrary, the first and second legions suffered repeated ambushes from the bug beast army and suffered heavy casualties.

Gradually, Joshua’s prestige in the army began to override that of Osborne and Cecil, and the legion he led gained the reputation of being ‘the strongest fighting force’.

Scouts from the Free Federation find the Queen’s trail, and they make the same battle plan as last time, but make Joshua the leader of the vanguard.

The first and second legions led by Zhou Yunsheng and Osborne were responsible for holding back the bug beast army in the southeast direction. They had scouted the distribution of the army in advance and formulated a detailed battle plan, however, during the execution, the distribution of the bug beast army was the complete opposite of what they had scouted, their weakest ring of troops crashed into the most powerful group of bug beasts, while the mecha team led by Osborne and Zhou Yunsheng pounced on the situation.

Because of an intelligence error, a huge gap is torn in the human coalition’s defenses, and when they are nearly on the verge of total annihilation, Joshua finds the Queen in time and plants the bomb, ordering the coalition to evacuate immediately.

After half an hour had passed, another planet was reduced to dust, and the survivors were ecstatic, but also extremely tired. This time the casualties were heavier than any before, with nearly three-fifths of the fighters sacrificed on the battlefield.

Back at their quarters, the Union Army did not hold a celebration party, but instead liquidated the marshals of the First and Second Corps. They believed that it was because of Osborne’s and Cecil’s blunders that so many soldiers’ lives had been buried, and that they were guilty as sin.

Ordinary people were also incited to demand that the two men be tried by military tribunals, especially those who had lost loved ones in the war and were deeply resentful of the two men.

The military court stripped the two men of their authority and ordered them not to leave the Empire Star, and if the investigation was true, the death penalty awaited them.

Zhou Yunsheng sat on the sofa, cupping a goblet in his hand and gently shaking it, his face filled with a contemplative expression. The scouting team was led by him personally, and the intelligence was recorded by him personally, no one knew the distribution of the insect beast army better than he did. Although they had intelligence, it was not to a high degree, and there was simply no possibility of temporarily changing the platoon without discovering the scouts.

Yet not only did they change, they also happened to collide with their weakest link with their most powerful force, which led to the collapse of the defenses, as if they had known the Legion’s battle plan and formulated their countermeasures accordingly.

This was definitely not a coincidence, and what’s more, it was possible that they had planted a mole in the allied forces. But which human would sell out the interests of their fellow countrymen for the sake of the insect race? After thousands of years of humans fighting the bug race and repeatedly being on the verge of extinction, it was impossible for all humans to do something as stupid as that.

And the two most speculative points: one, what does he gain by betraying his compatriots? Two, how does he communicate with the Bugs?

So it was impossible for there to be a mole amongst the humans, unless the other party was a worm in human skin.

As soon as this thought popped up, Zhou Yunsheng crushed the wine glass in his hand.

Joshua stood alone in the Worm Cave dungeon and caressed the Queen, when not a single worm beast rushed to attack him; his suddenly growing mental strength and physical fitness; his great success in every siege of the worms and seemingly knowing the distribution of the worms like the back of his hand; his taking over of all the military forces except for the First and Second Legions, and his becoming a supreme being who could overthrow the empire with a backhand …… His achievements had long exceeded everything that fate had arranged for him.

These suspicions were laid out in front of them, but Zhou Yunsheng was so blinded by Joshua’s established splendor that he surprisingly never paid attention to them. Could the so-called newborn Empress be Joshua? More precisely, he wasn’t a newborn, but a parasite of the original insect queen?

For the Bug Queen, who could copy all the genes and special abilities of bug beasts, getting a parasite was a breeze.

Zhou Yunsheng tapped the desktop with his fingertips and was already seventy to eighty percent sure.

Osborne finishes his day’s training program and walks in with a head full of sweat.

“Baby, what’s wrong with you?” He cupped his lover’s cheek and kissed him passionately. Death wasn’t something to be feared for him, quite the contrary, it was a gift to go to his death with Cecil.

That’s why he’s been eating and sleeping well lately, and of course, his need for eroticism has become stronger. At the moment, he covered his lover’s neck with his large hand, gently kneading the warm nape of his neck.

“Stop it.” Zhou Yunsheng slapped him away and detailed his guesses, asking, “What do you think we should do?”

“Kill him, of course.” Osborne sneered. He wasn’t afraid of death, but extremely hated being counted.

“That’s right, it’s time to kill him, and to dig the empress out of his body in front of all the interstellar people.” Zhou Yunsheng appreciatively kissed his lover’s brow bone and laughed, “If my guess is wrong, let’s go become interstellar pirates. I’m not willing to be executed for a trumped up offense.” He couldn’t kill Joshua, but his lover could, and he could easily integrate into this world without being ostracized.

Osborne rubbed his jaw, thinking that the idea of being a star pirate was a very good one, and that without the strict discipline of the military, he would be able to get mushy with Cecil every minute of the day.

“Baby, whether he is the Queen or not, I will help you kill him, but I need some reward.” His ambiguous voice disappeared into Zhou Yunsheng’s wild kisses.
