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

After removing the locator from his arm, Rhine did not immediately take any action, nor did he publicly announce that he had become an S-class female insect.

He waited quietly, waiting for the bait he had cast earlier to hook the fish.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal. Rhine handled the affairs of the army group every day, and incidentally, he also got Feynman to form an army.

Research institute for military equipment.

Rhein also made a request to Feynman: that Feynman's institute should catch up with the Imperial Academy of Sciences within five years.

Feynman was nearly driven mad after hearing this, exclaiming that Rhein was being unreasonable.

When he has free time, Rhine will video chat with Lu Yuan, who is still on Golan Star.

Because the assassination attempt on Fies and his group had passed its most intense phase and the situation had gradually stabilized and was under control, Rhine was able to rest assured that Lu Yuan could continue to stay on Golan Star.

Two months later, Rhine received a call from the Crown Prince, who hadn't spoken to her in a long time.

The call connected, and the amiable version of the First Prince, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, appeared before Rhine, as if the subtle tension between them had never existed.

"Rhine, I heard you've become an S-class female insect," the Crown Prince asked with a smile.

"Yes, I don't know why the Insect God would be so kind to me and bestow this good fortune upon me."

After saying that, Rhine revealed his two pairs of wings.

Seeing this irrefutable evidence, the eldest prince smiled even more warmly.

"This is truly a blessing from the Insect God, Rhine. This is not only good news for you, but also good news for the entire Empire. Those researchers whose research levels have been upgraded must be ecstatic."

"But why haven't you announced this to the public yet? We haven't received any official news from the capital planet. I almost thought I was hearing fake news," the eldest prince asked.

"After all, I am still Your Highness's subordinate. I have always kept in mind Your Highness's kindness in recognizing my talent. I think it is better to discuss such a big matter with Your Highness before making it public," Rhine said respectfully.

If they are willing to admit that they are still subordinates and talk about the gratitude they owe the prince, it means that they are still willing to stand on the side of the eldest prince.

However, the Crown Prince also knew that with his current Rhine S-rank status, he would definitely not be able to command Rhine in this Zerg Empire where strength reigns supreme.

Rhine was willing to stand by his side, mainly because he saw the Queen of Insects and the Crown Prince behind him.

Furthermore, Rhine said they needed to discuss it further, which meant they had conditions to discuss it.

"So, Rhine, what are your plans for the future?" the Crown Prince asked.

The eldest prince was prepared to first hear what Rhine's conditions were.

Even after Rhine left the capital planet, the Crown Prince's faction and Duke Norton's faction continued their fierce struggle.

Furthermore, the situation has become even more delicate because the Crown Prince still doesn't have a single insect offspring.

Moreover, the Queen recently learned that Duke Norton, somehow, secretly obtained the support of an S-class female insect.

This made the Queen Insect extremely anxious, and she was also eager to win over the support of S-class female insects for the Crown Prince.

If Rhine were willing to stand by their side, it would be a relief for them in their immediate predicament.

The Crown Prince made up his mind that as long as Rhine's conditions were not too unreasonable, he would agree to them. Even if he couldn't do it, the Queen of Insects behind him would find a way to help him.

"I hope my master will stay on Golan Star and learn from Professor Samuel how to appease me. I've only just become an S-rank, and my mental state is still a bit unstable. I need my master's appeasement as soon as possible. It's not appropriate for my master to go to the capital star at this time," Rhine said calmly, even though his mental state was actually in excellent condition.

"Of course, the methods are the same no matter where you learn them. The important thing is to appease you as soon as possible," the eldest prince said with a smile.

The Crown Prince had previously gone to great lengths to bring Lu Yuan back to the capital planet in order to control Rhine.

But now Rhine's status is different. She's too busy praising S-class female insects to even think about controlling them.

The Crown Prince believed that if he continued to insist on bringing Lu Yuan back to the capital planet, even if he did manage to bring him back, Duke Norton would likely try to send Lu Yuan back to Rhine in order to gain Rhine's support.

So why bother? You might as well just agree.

"Also, I think the Tenth Army is very good. I get along well with the soldiers here. Since other insects complain about the toughness of the Arach defense line and are unwilling to come, I am willing to step forward and take on this responsibility for the Empire, and stay here for a long time," Rhine continued.

This means taking over the entire Tenth Army Group.

The eldest prince did not immediately agree.

Although the Empire also granted the other S-class females a dozen or so planets, making them the de facto rulers of these planets and allowing them to keep private armies there.

But handing over an entire army group is something that has never happened before.

Seeing that the Crown Prince had fallen silent, Rhine's eyes flashed, and he changed the subject to something else.

"By the way, Your Highness, I've been having a minor health problem lately."

"Oh, what's wrong?" the eldest prince asked curiously.

You should know that female insects are generally very healthy. Apart from the possibility of problems with their mental sea, they don't get sick at all. Not to mention that Rhine has already become an S-class female insect, so her body should be in excellent condition. How could she have any problems?

"During my recent physical exam, I discovered a small growth on my left arm for some reason," Rhine said casually.

Upon hearing Rhine's words, the Crown Prince's smile froze on his face. He naturally knew what the little thing Rhine was referring to.

Rhine's earlier guess was correct; the locator on his arm was indeed provided by the royal family.

The royal family basically uses three methods to supervise its generals stationed abroad.

The first method is to use the male rulers who leave the generals on the capital planet to control the generals' actions. This is very simple to achieve because the male insects will basically take the initiative to stay on the capital planet, so the royal family does not need to do anything extra.

The second method involved using spies planted within the army to monitor the actions of the generals.

The third method involved using locators to pinpoint the generals' locations and movements, making it easier for the royal family to take action against them.

However, the locator is usually only activated in urgent situations, such as when it is confirmed that the generals have the intention to betray, because frequent activation would make it easy to be discovered.

After all, attaching tracking devices to generals is not a good thing; if the public finds out, it could severely damage the royal family's reputation.

The Crown Prince had no choice but to activate the locator on Rhine this time.

Rhine had eliminated all the royal family's spies within the 10th Army Group. Since the powerful ruler wasn't on the capital planet, the royal family had no other means of dealing with the situation except for the locator, which could only be used as a last resort.

As Rhine's operations become increasingly dangerous, the Crown Prince is eager to bring Rhine's powerful leader back to the capital planet.

To everyone's surprise, after arriving on Golan Star, his subordinates couldn't even find the real location of Lu Yuan. With no other option, the Crown Prince had to request permission from the Queen of Insects to risk checking Rhine's location.

I thought that opening it only once wouldn't attract Rhine's attention.

But who would have thought that Rhine would suddenly become an S-class female insect and discover the existence of the locator?

"Your Highness, do you think I should remind my colleagues to get a medical check-up as well? It wouldn't be good if they had the same problem as me."

Rhine said this with a smile, but the Crown Prince felt that Rhine's smile, no matter how you looked at it, had a somewhat malicious meaning.
