D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

Fred's expression changed slightly when he heard Rhein mention Corinville Military Academy.

Coranville Military Academy is located on Erakol, which, although not within the Arach defense line, is very close by.

From the 10th Army's base to Arraco, a military spaceship traveling at full speed can reach the planet in as little as an hour, so Coranville Military Academy is indeed the closest military academy to the 10th Army.

However, the reputation of Coranville Military Academy is not good. It ranks last among all military academies in the Empire, and its graduates are known for being arrogant, unreasonable, and ignorant.

To date, graduates of the Coranville Military Academy have only been able to obtain the highest rank of junior officer in the Empire. There are no Coranville graduates among the mid- to high-ranking officers, which seems to indirectly prove that the Coranville Military Academy is not good.

"Commander, the students at Coranville Military Academy aren't very capable. We're seriously going to fight the Arach insectoids. Recruiting insectoids from Coranville Military Academy would just be dragging us down," Fred said.

After thinking for a moment, Fred came up with another idea.

"Commander, how about we go to Austin Military Academy to recruit bugs?"

Although the planet where Austin Military Academy is located is a bit far from the Tenth Army's base, taking about half a month for a spaceship to reach, it is considered close compared to other military academies. Moreover, Austin Military Academy is ranked much higher than Coranville Military Academy.

Fred felt that since their Tenth Army had finally gained the right to independently recruit high-level female insects, they should naturally recruit some good seedlings. Austin Military Academy was far away, but it was still better than recruiting a bunch of useless people from Coranville Military Academy.

Rhine smiled after hearing Fred's words.

"Fred, Austin Military Academy is practically the Fifth Army's backyard. Most of its graduates go on to join the Fifth Army. Do you think our Tenth Army can compare to the Fifth Army right now?"

Fred was speechless for a moment. The corps commander was right. Even if they tried to recruit, graduates of Austin Military Academy might not be willing to come to their Tenth Army.

The Zerg Empire doesn't have many military academies, and after years of development, graduates from each academy generally have stable employment options. (P.S.: Except for Coranville Military Academy.)

For example, graduates of the St. Cyr Military Academy, which Rhine graduated from, mostly went to the First or Third Army; while the Austin Military Academy, which Fred just mentioned, mostly went to the Fifth Army.

Of course, there are precedents of graduates breaking with convention and going to other army groups, but their 10th Army Group can't compare with other army groups.

Because the 10th Army Group is stationed at the Alaqi defense line year-round, it has never been the first choice for graduates of major military academies. In the past, the high-ranking female soldiers of the 10th Army Group were all forcibly assigned by the military headquarters and had to be rotated out when their terms expired.

Why would graduates of the Austin Military Academy abandon the Fifth Army and choose the Tenth Army?

Fred felt he understood why Rhein had gone to the Collinville Military Academy to recruit scoundrels. Only a military academy like Collinville, which was disliked by all the army groups, would have a relatively high chance of its graduates joining the Tenth Army.

Fred was still somewhat reluctant. He himself was a graduate of St. Cyr Military Academy, so he naturally didn't think much of Coranville Military Academy.

More importantly, the battle against the Araqi insectoids cannot tolerate the slightest negligence, and Fred is genuinely worried that recruiting a bunch of useless people will lower their own combat strength.

Looking at Fred's conflicted face, Rhein could easily understand what Fred was thinking.

Rhine was in a good mood today and didn't mind explaining the ins and outs to his trusted subordinate.

"Fred, have you actually had any contact with graduates of the Coranville Military Academy?" Rhine asked.

Fred looked up and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Insects from other military academies rarely interact with those from Coranville Military Academy. Furthermore, when assigning missions, the military typically assigns Coranville graduates to teams of their own. As a result, there are even fewer opportunities for other military academy graduates to come into contact with Coranville graduates.

"I've met one, and in my opinion, that guy is just as capable and qualified as any other outstanding graduate from a military academy," Rhein said.

Rhine admired the bug who was already a captain. At that time, Rhine had been promoted to major general and had some power, so he wanted to promote the bug and then bring him to his side to cultivate him into his confidant.

Rhine failed because the higher-ups wouldn't allow Rhine to promote that bug, even though the bug's military achievements would have been enough to warrant a two-rank promotion.

"Why?" Fred asked, puzzled.

"Because he graduated from Corinville Military Academy."

Fred's eyes widened. What kind of reason was that?

Fred is now completely bewildered, just as Rhine was back then and didn't understand why the higher-ups would stop him.

However, Rhine could sense the seriousness of those above, so he decisively gave up on that insect. Although he valued talent, he would never sacrifice his own interests for other insects.

But afterwards, Rhine still investigated the reason behind it, because he didn't want to unknowingly fall into the same trap again in the future.

After much investigation, Rhine finally figured out the reason behind it all, which was related to the insect that established the Coranville Military Academy.

"Fred, do you know who founded the Coranville Military Academy?" Rhine asked.

Fred shook his head again. They looked down on Coranville Military Academy, so how could they possibly care about who its founder was?

"He is a female insect named Coranville. He is an S-class female insect and once served as the commander-in-chief of the military."

Fred was shocked again; he felt that he had been surprised more times in one day than he usually had in a month.

While S-grade females are not as rare as S-grade males, they are not common either.

Every S-class female insect has made outstanding contributions to the Empire, so they are insects that can leave their mark on history, not to mention that they have served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Military, which is the highest position in the Military.

Fred remembered the name of every S-class female insect that had ever appeared in the Empire, but after repeatedly recalling the name in his mind, he finally confirmed that he had never heard of Coranville.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of him, because almost all traces of Coranville's existence have been erased, even though he once led the counterattack against the Araqi insectoids and saved the entire insectoid empire," Rhine said.

Fred then remembered that when the history textbook mentioned the Empire's counterattack against the Arach insectoids, it only briefly stated that, through the combined efforts of countless insectoids, the Empire finally drove the Arach insectoids back to the Arach system.

However, it does not mention which bugs played a key role in the battle, or who led the army in the counterattack.

"But, but if Mr. Coranville made such a significant contribution to the Empire, why would the Empire erase his traces?" Fred stammered.

"Because he was a commoner, and he refused the nobility's attempts to win him over, he tried to build a force that represented the common people," Rhine said.
