The male insect adores it! The female general, envious, begs for a kiss.

Amory spent the entire morning in a state of subtle excitement, eager to spar with Heamis; his excitement surged like an undercurrent within his chest.

He couldn't wait!

Emory wasn't one to hide anything.

His personality is like the internalization of his red hair—bold and flamboyant.

The news of his challenge to Hermes spread throughout the military in just a few hours.

In the afternoon, the female insects, having received the news, surrounded the arena completely.

Looking out, it was a dark, dense mass.

The clock struck four in the afternoon, and Emory, dressed in combat gear, was already standing in the arena.

However, the other main character, the insect, has yet to appear.

When the clock struck one minute, and Emory looked at the entrance but didn't see the figure he expected, he realized he had been stood up.

Emory always sparred with Heamis and had long since figured out Heamis's personality; if he intended to come, he would never be late.

Amory's face darkened; Heemis dared to completely ignore him!

Emory braced himself on the railing, flipped over, and jumped down.

He's going straight to Hermes!

He questioned him about why he stood him up.

Amory absolutely has to compete with Heamis today!

The female insects, who had originally planned to watch the spectacle, realized that they probably wouldn't see them fight today after seeing that Emory had left and the other insect hadn't arrived yet.

"Oh, what a pity."

"I heard that Emory and the general had a really fierce fight. They even left a two-meter-deep crater on the hard surface of Training Field No. 3."

"Did Emory go to see the general?"

"I think so too. Major General Emory has always been the type to never give up until he achieves his goal. I reckon the general will be racking his brains for a while now."

They were right; Emory stormed off to the First Legion to find Heamis.

Rhett ran right into the energetic Emory.

Just as Rett was about to go to the printing room, he noticed the angry look on Emory's face and felt something was wrong. Could it be that Major General Emory was here to see the General again?

Previously, Emory would send letters of request to the general every now and then to request to fight, but Rhett had rejected Emory's requests on behalf of Heamis many times.

Therefore, he knew Emery all too well.

Emory doesn't usually come to Heamis with anything important.

For the sake of the general, Rhett decided to step forward. He resolutely stopped Emory, "Major General Emory, are you going to see the general?"

Emory frowned as he looked at the female insect blocking his way, then recognized it and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Heamis's lieutenant, I remember you."

When Rhett heard that the other party still remembered him, his expression became more serious.

He was somewhat flattered by Emory's sudden smile.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Emory's eyes suddenly turned sinister, "Once when I came to see Hemires, you told me that he had been urgently sent to Planet M."

"As it turned out, he was at the First Army Headquarters. I happened to run into the general on my way home from get off work. He was being sent to Planet M."

Emory's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Do you think Heamis can teleport?"

Rhett was so anxious that sweat was beading on his forehead.

No, Major General Emory knew about it?!

"Are you stopping me this time to tell me that Heamis isn't here?"

Rhett silently moved aside; the other party had already seen through his intentions, so there was no need to stop him any longer.

"Please go ahead." Rhett stepped aside.

Emory snorted and banged loudly on Hermione's admiral's office.

He wanted to see what reason Heamis, now caught red-handed, would have to evade his request to fight.

Rhett watched helplessly as Emory pushed open the door. He covered his eyes with his hands and sighed inwardly.

General, this time it's not that I'm not going to help you...

Rett declares that from this day forward, Emory is the military's most fearsome bug!

none of them!

The commotion outside had already reached Heamis's ears, so he wasn't surprised at all when he saw the female insect entering.

Amory walked all the way to Heamis's table before stopping. He looked at the insect he hadn't seen in a long time, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"General, it's been a long time."

Heamis's cold gaze swept over them. "Emory, you're not here simply to catch up, are you?"

Emory's smile faded. "I've been waiting for you at the training ground for a long time, and you've been hiding here."

Heamis frowned. "I don't think I agreed to your declaration of war."

Emory raised an eyebrow, a hint of slyness in his eyes. "No, I think you just didn't see the message I sent."

"And now, General, you have accepted my challenge. I think you won't refuse me."

Heamis's voice deepened, "Emory."

Emory remained unmoved and calm. "General, I am here."

He glanced down at his personal terminal and reminded Heemis of the time, "It's 4:30 now. If we hurry, we can finish before we leave work."

Heamis was really having a headache when she saw Emory.

Upon hearing the time, Heemis frowned even more deeply.

The first thing that flashed through his mind was Gu Heng's exquisite face. He wondered what the powerful ruler was doing right now.

Heamis knew perfectly well that Emory was indispensable; otherwise, he would have pestered him until the end of the workday.

It might even delay his departure time.

Heamis, a man of few words, said, "A swift and decisive battle."

Emory was about to say something more when he suddenly heard Heamis's reply. He paused for a moment, and then his eyes turned strange.

Why did Heamis agree so readily today?

Quickly, Emory subconsciously thought that the insect in front of him had a different core.
