The Zonghuang gave Asir half a month to recuperate, which meant that Muai had to take him back to the empire after half a month.

This half month has been the busiest and calmest half month since the imperial army came to the Bandit Nation. The boundary between the two parties seems to be blurred. They tacitly ignore the issue of the camp, and the division of tasks assigned by the above no longer takes into account the previous ones. With Mu Ling's acquiescence, these army females are gradually infiltrating the various tasks of the bandit state.

They went to the southern new city together, built infrastructure together, ate and slept together, had normal skill exchanges, and started chatting, which was a bit difficult for most taciturn females, but they also began to chat with each other Confidentially...

Countless trifles are happening, and these trifles make the imperial females start to go into a trance, as if they have never been hostile.

Half a month later:

When Mu Pass finally saw the light of day again, the first thing he did was to run to Asir, bury himself in his chest and cry bitterly.

Asir neither comforted him nor pushed him away, standing there like a piece of wood, Muai cried for a while, but found that there was no response, raised his head sadly, but saw Aru next to him, His face immediately became ugly.

He didn't know that the two of them almost went in and out at the same time under the instigation of Mu Ling and Tang Luosi in the past half month, otherwise they would faint on the spot.

"Your Highness, please board the ship." Asir said calmly.

"Aren't you... not with me? Are you still angry? I... I didn't mean to, I won't do that again in the future, shall we start over?"

Muai looked at him flatteringly.

"Your Highness, please board the ship." Asir repeated.

"What did my third brother say? Is it because of the spiritual mark? I am not unwilling, but he has no way to guarantee success. I, I am also worried about you..." Muai was a little hesitant.

Asir glanced at his deputy, and the female walked up to Muai: "Your Highness, you can get on the boat. General Asir has some work to hand over to His Royal Highness and the others."

Muai wanted to say something, but saw that humble female actually holding his arm, his expression changed, there were no other females around him scolding him, as if it was only natural for him to do this.

He couldn't help releasing a trace of pheromone, and the females' eyes flickered, but they quickly stabilized their emotions and repeated again, this time with an undeniable emotion in their voice: "Your Highness, please don't embarrass General Asir. "

On the eve of their return, Mu Ling added anti-pheromone training to the daily training of all females. This was originally one of the daily trainings of the military, but the highest level of pheromones trained by the military is only B-level, and A-level males are rare. And it is difficult to imitate, the possibility of the enemy mastering it is almost zero, but this time Mu Ling came up and stimulated their own pheromones, which made the bandit females miserable.

The pheromone was invalid, and Muai was a little flustered. Seeing that his female was indifferent, he forced a smile, and quietly followed the female to board the spaceship.

As soon as Muai left, Mu Ling and Tang Luosi came out, and they looked at Asier: "It will be very dangerous for you to go back this time, or do you want to go?"

"If we don't go, the empire will definitely take more radical measures, and we have to go."

Asir said calmly, he knew that the danger Mu Ling reminded was mainly aimed at himself, but he was not afraid.

"As soon as you go back, I will enter the Imperial Network, and the Emperor of Zombies will definitely scold you. You have to figure out how to deal with it."

"I know, if I go back, I'll just ask questions, but if I don't go back, it's not as simple as asking questions."

After Asir finished speaking, he took a step back suddenly and knelt down on one knee. A female beside him offered his sword to Don Ross. Don Ross looked at Mu Ling and then at Asir. Bow your head respectfully: "Please accept."

It is a female's instinct to submit to the king worm, but it is his own choice to be loyal to Don Ross.

Don Ross took the sword solemnly, and handed it to Asier. Asir took the sword with both hands, and the female behind her knelt down, receding slowly like a tide, all of which was silent.

"Get up," said Don Ross:

"Bandit didn't kneel to salute, and no one will kneel in the future."

Asir pinned the long sword around his waist neatly, stood up, and all the females followed him to stand up

"This is the last time." He turned and walked towards the ship.

Tang Luosi and Mu Ling looked at Alu, and clicked their tongues secretly. This stubborn female was really ruthless, and she didn't even look at Alu.

Alu Rumang was on his back, but he pretended not to notice it, and only watched the spaceship take off silently and politely, but Qi Fei couldn't help but nudged him on the back: "Why didn't you even kiss him goodbye?"

Alu glared at her, but said nothing.

Qi Fei shook her head:

"Sure enough, arranged marriages are not happy..."

Her eyeballs couldn't help drifting towards Mu Ling and Don Los, as if she was looking at some patriarch in the feudal society.

Alu choked in anger, what was arranged, where did the marriage come from?

"You're right. I was ordered to fall in love, and I have no time to work recently. You can take my share first. Maybe next time I will kiss you goodbye."

He flicked his sleeves and walked away angrily, leaving Qi Fei petrified in place, and then looked at Mu Ling begging for help: "Director Mu...this is against the rules...isn't it?"

Mu Ling had fled away with Tang Luosi in his arms, and the answering voice came from afar:

"His department has the final say. It's in the 'Other' section of the regulations. You can go back and look."

Three hours after takeoff, the central control room of the spacecraft:

"General, are you sure you want to side with Bandits?"

Asir's thoughts were interrupted by his deputy, and when he turned his head, he saw a solemn face.

This question is understandable. After all, this is a choice that affects the fate of many insects. Asir said in a low voice: "Yes."

His yes, which represents many worms, is that there is no free choice. He and the worms under him are a bound community of destiny. His deputy bent down: "Understood."

Asir sighed and explained:

"I originally planned that if... His Royal Highness the fourth prince can successfully ascend the throne, we can persuade him to amend the laws of the empire based on the relationship between us, but in fact, His Royal Highness Wang Chong is right, so what if the laws are changed?"

"Then how can you be sure that the bandits will be different from the empire?"

The deputy asked softly, after all, the king worm is also a male worm, and every voice of his is naturally spiritually intimidating. He only needs to give the female worm a look, and the female worm can instinctively worship him, trust him, and follow him. In this case, What is the difference between him and His Majesty the Zonghuang.

Asir glanced at him lightly:

"I believe in Don Ross."

[Don Ross came to him alone when he was parting last night, and gave him three golden capsules, saying that they were transformed by Mu Ling's spiritual power, and asked him to swallow them when he was in danger, so as to use the power of the king worm to stop the disaster.

Also warn him:

"We can't guess what will happen when we go back to the empire this time. The only thing that is certain is that the Zonghuang will no longer trust you."

Just as the Zonghuang no longer believed in Muai, their relationship was not as simple as a couple breaking up, but their spiritual connection was disturbed by external forces in a territory outside the empire.

"You will become a general in name only. I know you have your own plans, but be careful."

Asir glanced at him:

"Judging from your tone, it seems that you are sure that I will definitely come back?"

"Why don't you come back?" Don Ross smiled casually.

"Maybe it's because even if the empire can't give me anything, I'm not sure what the bandits can give me. His Royal Highness King Chong, everything belongs to him."

Asir stared at him:

"Including you."

Don Los nodded and opened up his spiritual realm to him:

"look by youself."

After watching it, Asir was silent for a long time:

"Your mental body is whole."

Mu Ling did not lie, he did not mark Don Los, Asir took a deep breath, his expression was unpredictable, Don Los continued: "The Bandit is the bandit of the female insect, it doesn't matter whether there is a king insect or not. You Maybe I don't know, there are females who have settled here before me."

It's just that they are not as arrogant as him, and they have never raised the banner to fight against the empire.

"Then can you guarantee that His Highness King Chong will remove the spiritual mark for me?" Asir asked.

"Even if I say yes, you won't believe it, right?"

Don Ross shook his head, then stretched out his spiritual tentacles:

"It's better to make a contract. If I can't, I will die with you, can I?"

Asir stared at him for a long time, stretched out his tentacles to wrap around him:

"Are you sure? If you fall out of favor with the king worm, you will die in the end without a burial place."

He was clearly asking a question, but he clung to Don Ross's mental tentacles, as if he would strangle him as soon as he showed any remorse.

"Yes, or not, you just need to answer this." The response from the other side was loud and loud.

"Yes." Asir let go of the tentacles, and two dark lights flashed across their eyes respectively.

This is the ancient spiritual contract of the Zerg, and once it is established, it cannot be repented. 】"Besides the king worm and the leader, the bandits and swarms are far more united than the intricate factions within the empire. The fate of the empire has already been written, and I have to plan ahead for your future."

Asir patted his deputy on the shoulder and stood up:

"The empire did not give me anything, except you."

If what Don Los said was true, then the rebellion had happened long ago, and a lot of information was buried in the dust of history, so he had to look for it when he went back.

"Get out, I..." Asir's words were interrupted by an outside voice

"General, His Royal Highness insists on seeing you." The messenger outside the door reported.

Muai still hasn't given up on reconciling with Asir. Although the current situation is not much better from being under house arrest by the gangsters to being under house arrest by Asir's cronies, but now that he has left the sphere of influence of the king worm, everything will be fine. turnaround.

He carefully planned an apology ceremony, cooked the thick soup with his own hands, heated up the cans, mixed the salad, lit candles in the room, and prepared to have dinner with his female worms.

But these females actually said that General Asir was at work and couldn't come over. He almost got angry, and finally managed to stabilize his emotions and asked again and again. Finally, he used mental deterrence to let these females deliver the message for him.

Compared with the adventures in the bandit country, this kind of gap in his own situation made him more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Asir is here.

When Asir came in, he saw a male wearing only thin clothes stepping on the ground with bare feet, his white face was full of embarrassment, and there was a carefully prepared candlelight feast beside him, this familiar scene made him feel very strange a feeling of.

As before, he silently walked to the male, squatted down and lifted his feet, and put the scattered socks and shoes on him.

Suddenly a bean-sized tear broke on his shoulder strap. Asir paused and said softly, "Although there is heating, the ground is very cold. You shouldn't walk around barefoot."

Muai watched his female raise her head and smiled at him, tried hard to return a smiling face, but suddenly a hole appeared in his heart, blowing cold wind, he held Asir tightly as if he would be blown away by the wind life-saving straw, and he can go back to the past as long as he holds on to everything.

"I... made you dinner." He heard his voice choked up.

Asir put on his shoes and socks for him, nodded and walked to the dining table, looking at him strangely: "Isn't Your Highness coming together?"

Muai was about to pass by, but suddenly found that his expression was unusually calm, and suddenly had an illusion——his female hated him.

But there was nothing he could do.

Lorgar, August 1341th, 8, a day the Imperial Bugs will never forget.

One and a half years ago, in order to welcome the King Chong's birth, Admiral Asir and the Fourth Prince Muai led a mighty army to Tianmu Star Bandits, and the entire empire was looking forward to the King Chong's birth.

But that time the troops were dispatched like a squib, and there was no response. The upper echelons kept the news tightly covered, and ordinary people in the empire wondered, always worrying about something wrong with His Royal Highness Wang Chong.

And a week ago, General Asir and the fourth prince came back, and the people who got the gossip spread it to hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands... Formed a huge welcome team and gathered near the Royal Port, wanting to see the King Worm elegant demeanor.

But the royal family ordered that stay in the port was prohibited, and the welcoming procession was dispersed.

It was raining that day, and through the mist, the reluctant people saw Asir's straight back and the somewhat rickety male beside him, full of anger and suspicion, unable to express themselves under the high-handed policy of the empire.

The fire could not be covered by paper, and the news that the fourth prince had failed to advance to King Chong finally spread.

Ordinary worms are full of regrets, but they are full of hope when they think that the fourth prince is still only 19 years old and still have a chance.

The only thing I don't understand is that there is nothing to say about it. It is worth the empire to keep silent. King Chong is not a canned food sold in the market.

However, at eleven o'clock in the evening on August 8th, an anonymous post appeared on the Imperial Army website, with a concise title and only five characters

【The king worm is born】

The content is also brief:

【It's the third prince Mu Ling, who lives in the bandit state. 】

There are quite a few worms surfing the Internet in the middle of the night, and some worms seem to be illiterate for a moment. They stare at the page for a while, and then report rumors.

Everyone said it had failed, why suddenly...

The worm who had just clicked on the report suddenly widened his eyes, and hurriedly opened the military website again. Fortunately, the administrator ignored his report, and the post was placed on the top of the website like Mount Tai.

Wang Chong is the third prince.

These few words were finally read out by him smoothly. He suddenly fell off the bed and slammed open every door in the house: "The king worm is born! Male father, female father... younger brother... king worm..."

"I saw it, I saw it!"

Similarly, Ye Chongzi's younger brother didn't even look at his crazy elder brother, who was typing something on the keyboard with his fingers flying like flying.

"Eight questions to the Imperial Army:

[-]. Has the authenticity of the post been verified?

[-]. Why didn't the king worm be announced?

[-]. Why did the king worm appear in the bandits?

[-]. Why only bring back the fourth prince and not His Royal Highness King Chong?

[-]. Is His Royal Highness King Chong safe?

[-]. Is the military department suspected of dereliction of duty?

[-]. Why does the royal family only promote the four princes and treat His Royal Highness Wang Chong as nothing?

[-]. How can the poster return it to His Royal Highness? "

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a red box popped up on the page to warn: [The content you posted contains sensitive words and has been blocked. 】

That insect-like slap cracked the table:

"The censors are going to eat shit, the safety of His Royal Highness Wang Chong is such a big matter, can the people of the empire not even ask?!"

But soon, the blue box prompt appeared again:

[The content you posted has been reviewed, please pay attention to the civilized language on the Internet. 】The worm put its eyeballs in the light, and was amazed:

"There is a reason for this. The military network has never been so fast."

"Hey brother, you come to see...brother?"

The insect looked at the door, and he was so excited that his crazy brother had rushed out of the house and started knocking on the door of the next room.

He walked to the window, and found that the eternally dark night of the Empire suddenly brightened, every house turned on lights, and troublemakers hacked into the city's traffic system to light up street lights.

The curfew tradition of the empire was broken on this day, and suddenly there were insect shadows on the road, and they slowly gathered into a vast ocean, rushing unswervingly towards the military headquarters.

The worm standing at the window turned off his own lamp, put on his coat and followed him out, watching the excitement is no big deal, what if the king worm is at the military headquarters.

As for the sentence in the bandit country - it is not a day or two for the military to throw the pot away.

From the early morning of the 15th, except for the males, not many insects are willing to live at home. The streets and alleys are full of insects. Those who cannot reach the military headquarters sit on the ground in the central square of the city or at the gate of the government, asking the empire to give an explanation. Is there any? King worm, where is the king worm?

Because of the characteristics of the Zerg race, there has never been any civil strife since the establishment of the empire. Most of the people gathered on the road are females, and most of them have military backgrounds. They behave well and are silent and orderly, but the large number makes the upper echelon worry.

The Senate ordered the deletion of the post, but the military department ignored it for the first time, and the Senate did not persecute it any longer. They also knew that this order was not justified, and an agreement was reached at the previous meeting with Mu Ling. This is a predictable scene , but no amount of psychological preparation is vulnerable to reality.

The next one to give the order was the Zonghuang. He didn't ask to delete the post, and deleting it didn't help, because in just a few hours, the reading volume of this post has exceeded 40 billion, which means that half of the Zong people including the expeditionary army are Knowing the news, deleting it would intensify the conflict, and he asked the military to continue posting to answer the public's questions.

But this should not be explained by them. According to their agreement with Bandit Bang, this is His Royal Highness Wang Chong's own plan. If the military department speaks out rashly, there will inevitably be conflicts with Mu Ling afterwards.

And in order to avoid conflicts, stopping Mu Ling from speaking is the only option.

Judging from this order, His Majesty the Zonghuang has already begun to regret what he promised the King Zong that day.

The army is now in a dilemma, they have to choose between the worm emperor and the king worm.

But is it still an option?

According to Asir's report, His Royal Highness is a ruthless character.He concealed his identity and went to the bandit country alone, and won the favor of Don Ross. Although he was very lucky, he climbed to the top of the bandit country all the way from scratch, and even dared to risk his life to advance to the battlefield in the later stage. What he had to do for himself must be very clear.

Perhaps this is the leader they need more than most males in the empire.

At the same time, the bandits far away on the Tianmu star are also ready for battle.

The Department of Information was brightly lit. After the emergency reorganization, the department expanded thirty-fold, and all the human resources on Earth were mobilized. King Chong issued a death order.

Kahn served as the deputy leader of the counterattack team. He survived for three days with drugs and excitement. Now at the last moment, he was so excited that it seemed that the brain cells in the entire skull had become shiny. The big light bulb made his thoughts clearer than ever, and his hand and speech speed also reached an unprecedented level, and countless complicated instructions flowed from his team.

The recording studio was exceptionally quiet, and the human beings were very nervous, to the point of being in a state of emptiness.

Now everything has been rehearsed, the post sent to the military website yesterday is the signal for the official start, their every move seems to be out of instinct, but also seems to have been well thought out, everything continues smoothly.

Mu Ling and Don Ross were resting back to back in the waiting room. They intertwined their fingers and did not speak. There was only the click of the second hand between them.

"His Royal Highness, it's fine."

Mu Ling opened his eyes, pulled Don Ross together and walked to the studio:

"Is the channel stable?"

"Stablize."

"Is the empire's broadcast channel unblocked?"

"General Asir replied that seven core cities have been captured, and some diehards cannot interfere with the work of the Technology Department."

"Then let's begin."

Don Ross let go of his hand, straightened his already neat collar, and smiled at him: "I'll go to the Information Department to have a look."

"it is good."

Mu Ling kissed his forehead. It was his only regret that he could not appear in front of the people of the empire with him.

They then posted a second post on the Imperial Army website, telling the public that Wang Chong will meet you online, and that they can see Wang Chong with their own eyes as long as they download the live broadcast platform software called "Tianxia".

During the rehearsal session, they estimated that the download volume would be calculated in units of one hundred million. Bandits’ equipment could not afford such data operation at all, and they had to rely on imperial equipment for support. Some of these equipments had been hacked by the Ministry of Information, but some of them had to be Relying on the surrender of forces within the empire.

Maybe it was Asir's guarantee, or maybe it was the terrible appeal of the king worm. Before ten o'clock in the evening on the 14th, they had already taken down all the core equipment areas.

The release of the second post blew the war horn of the Ministry of Information. Their first task was to ensure that the huge data flow would not paralyze the equipment. This could have been diverted by AI, but AI was easily countered by the empire. They Had to choose to do it myself.

Mu Ling was waiting in the studio, and the news kept coming:

10 minutes, 1000 million downloads;

Three 10 minutes, one hundred million;

One hour, three hundred million;

……

Two hours, 35 billion.

Human beings are shocked by the rising data. The Zerg is a relatively backward race in the network life. Watching videos and live broadcasts online is only the interest of a few high-level Zerg. Most of them are males. For ordinary Zergs, this is the first time .

For them, the Internet is a tool for meeting and arranging work. They never thought that the king worm would come to them in this form, which is both unreal and curious.

"Okay."

Afterwards, there will be replays of recordings and broadcasts. If you wait too long, the first batch of traffic may ebb, and the gains will not be worth the losses. Mu Ling asked the staff in charge of video delivery to start.

In fact, the two-hour wait was nothing to the ordinary Zerg who were eager to see the king worm, and Mu Ling's excessive caution was really caring.

So the imperial worms who were squatting hard on this platform found that the black screen suddenly lit up, and they held their breath

A gorgeous soft light flashed, and a bug egg appeared in the light and shadow. The eggshell slowly cracked, and a soft, soft bug poked its head out of it. crawl out.

After some hard work, he raised his face and smiled at the audience, and the narration sounded—his name is Mu Ling.

He's not the king worm yet, he's just Mu Ling, the third prince of the empire.

The camera zoomed out, and the audience realized that this bug egg was actually staying on the empty and desolate battlefield.

Not far away is a rusty metal machine with its ferocious edges exposed in the wind. "Mu Ling" hugged his shell, and a drop of scarlet rain suddenly dripped on the snow-white eggshell. The female worm on the arm staggered past him.

The female didn't notice the male cub, because he was also walking at the end of the road, and the continuous loss of blood took his life away, and the intermittent bursts of mental pain made him suddenly kneel down and scream.

This scene is so familiar, for a moment the audience almost forgot whether they were on this platform to watch the king worm or their familiar fate.

The spotless cubs are incompatible with this scorched earth, and the impact of the huge contrast makes the audience speechless.

In fact, regardless of whether it is the king worm or not, they all want to rush in and take him away from that place, instead of watching his ignorant eyes helplessly, touching the blood that is gradually congealing on the eggshell, and tears flowing from his eyes without warning. slide out.

"Mu Ling" hugged his shell and walked slowly, like a newborn snail crawling cowardly in the drowsy world.

No worms tried to harm him, but not many worms spotted him, until a bloody female stood in front of him, the first worm to spot him.

The female wraps the milk fruit that the young male likes to eat in a huge leaf and hands it to him.

Mu Ling let go of his shell and stretched out his hands to pick up the food. The female's blood-stained hands stained his white and soft little hands. He didn't notice it, and hugged the leaf that was more than half of him to thank the female. .

But the first word "thank you" came out, and the sound of metal rubbing against air occupied his ears. He opened his eyes blankly, and saw the body of the female worm who gave him food separated, and the surging blood splashed on his face. The innocence is gone.

There is only one cub covered in blood all alone in the empty world.

The audience frowned distressedly, not understanding who put the delicate male cubs on the battlefield, where the females were. To mention one more word would be to tarnish the ears of the males.

But the camera gave the dead female a close-up, with a contented smile on the corner of his mouth, looking warm and clean

The watching females were stunned. They seldom paid attention to the expressions of the dead comrades. When they died, they were dead. But is it like this?

Memories overruled the content of the anime...not so.

The female worm had a murderous look on her face until she died, she didn't even show fear, let alone such a smile.

They were heartbroken, and the little male wept in the story, throwing away the milk nuts and staggering to the dead female, clasped his hands and wailed.

The delicate mournful cry resounded on the battlefield, causing all the insects to worry about it.

Then spring and winter come, and the cubs in the picture become teenagers.

He no longer wore Shengxue's white clothes, but put on a scarlet coat, and his brows and eyes changed from childish to resolute. Holding a weapon, he began to search for survivors in the wilderness, and began to trek thousands of miles, looking for a non-war place.

He crossed mountains and ridges, overcame thorns and thorns, and finally stopped at a place that was not affected by the flames of war, and began to forge swords into plows along the river basin like some ancient creature...

There are more and more insects around him. They sing and dance in spring, sneak away and be lazy in summer, harvest wheat and fruit in autumn, and talk at night around the stove in winter.

Every frame of the picture is filled with the breath of new life.

It is a life of laying down weapons, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and harvesting happiness through labor and cooperation...

The wheel of time is turning faster and faster, and the days have changed from ancient times to modern times:

In the first round of technological explosion, they built tall buildings, manufactured power machines, built bridges and repaired roads, and connected the entire land together.

The next round of technological explosion, they build spacecraft, look at the stars, and start sailing far away...

The audience is lost in the indescribably beautiful spring, autumn, winter and summer in the picture, and is trapped in this world where there is no gunpowder and war, and everything is bright and bright.

When the film ended, the name of the story appeared on the black screen - Homecoming.

It's not so much a story as some sort of quaint prophecy.The gods came to the mortal world in person, and led the survivors to a peaceful land, where they began a peaceful life, a life that no worm dared to imagine.

A certain gear in the bugs' brains began to actively bite into another, and their rusty brains began to dream. A question that had never been mentioned was suddenly stuffed into their minds. Why is the fighting endless?

A never-before-seen vision quietly sprouted in my heart, which was the imagination of a fertile and affluent land without war.

Just like the seeds of civilization fell on the dry and cracked earth, a tender sprout took root, chiseling out a space for softness in the cold and hard cosmic order.

When the gentle melody titled "Homecoming" at the end of the film sounded on the two planets at the same time, Mu Ling stood up and walked under the spotlight, and all the cameras were turned on together.

The red eyes of the information department were burning with fire, and they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

The seven core cities far away in the empire:

The ground lamp in the central square suddenly lit up, and a towering phantom appeared in mid-air. He was covered in golden light, as light as clouds and as thick as the earth. He slowly opened his eyes, as if some ancient god Waking up, a gentle comfort from far away fell on the hearts of every bugman, and they looked up to him.

As if he walked out of the painting just now, he was so beautiful and solemn, he said: "I am Mu Ling, your king."

"This is a bandit state—a state that is not fighting, it is my hometown."

A kind of ecstasy swept over all the worms like a tsunami, and when they were about to welcome the king worm, the video from Celestial Eye was suddenly interrupted.

The imperial worms were furious when they saw the prompt popping up on the light screen:
