A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

Oh well, never mind, he really does have some skills after all.

The Insect King took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He still needs Orion; he can't let the bugs drag him out and chop him up.

It's alright. A great emperor should forgive the minor flaws of his capable ministers.

"The problem lies at its root! Those alien races! Those humans!" the Insect King roared. "They brought the evil wind that bewitches the females! Humans, those alien races, the influence they brought has made the females forget their place! They have diluted the noble bloodline of the males!!"

"Your Majesty is right," Orion said respectfully, his head bowed.

A faint blush quickly spread across the Insect King's pale face. He seemed extremely angry, and exclaimed, "The Crown Prince's agreement to establish diplomatic relations with humans! What a joke! He's letting a wolf into the house! Only by nipping this in the bud can the dignity of male insects be restored to its peak!"

"Your subject is dull-witted."

Orion still didn't respond to his comment.

Having said all that, the Insect King stopped beating around the bush.

He stared at Orion, his eyes burning, and directly ordered, "Orion, I need you to sabotage the Crown Prince's relations with the foreign race! Destroy their so-called diplomatic ties! If possible, it would be even better if those lowly humans were completely wiped out!"

If humans disappear, those lowly female insects will completely lose their will to live!

"Destroy the Federation of Humanity?" Orion raised his head.

He calmly met the Insect King's excited gaze, which contained no shock, no doubt, only a hint of confusion.

The Insect King looked at his calm face and his submissive posture, just as he looked at the submissive Atticus.

My mood instantly improved, and I no longer wanted to pursue the matter of him kicking the ball around.

He leaned back in his chair, his fingers casually tracing the tiny pearls embedded in his cuff, and repeated, "Yes! Destroy the Federation of Humanity."

"But the Crown Prince is with the Human Federation, which makes things difficult."

"Use your power. I know you're always eloquent, and no matter what method you use, I only care about the result."

What was the result?

That's incredibly audacious of them to think of destroying the Federation of Humanity.

Orion lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the fleeting sarcasm deep within them.

A silent, cold laugh.

That old man really has a wild imagination.

The medicine hasn't been made yet, and the Crown Prince is still with the Human Federation.

All the legions were in the hands of the Crown Prince.

You're a useless piece of trash, and I'm just a lone commander. What can we use to destroy this? Our lives?

I originally thought this old man just wanted me to kill the people within the Zerg Empire, but I didn't expect him to actually order me to destroy the Human Federation.

Black-boned chicken and mackerel.

"Your Majesty, you're really putting me in a difficult position."

"I haven't finished speaking. I will restore your status, grant you an official position, and send you as my envoy to the Human Federation. Once you arrive there, act according to the circumstances and sabotage the establishment of diplomatic relations without giving anyone grounds for criticism. The specific plan is up to you. I have faith in your abilities, you were once the most famous and intelligent second prince of the empire."

"But the Crown Prince is there..."

"He dares not do anything to my envoy."

Orion fell into thought.

Regardless of what happens in private, on the surface, the Crown Prince is indeed not allowed to disobey the Insect Emperor's orders.

So, it seems that humans might actually have some chance.

He could even swagger around in front of his little nephew.

Killing two birds with one stone, let's do it!

Orion bowed again, his movements so precise they seemed measured with a ruler, and he even managed a respectful banter:

"Your Majesty, I obey your decree. However, this task is quite difficult to complete. If I make any mistakes or fail to achieve the goal, Your Majesty must not blame me."

He knew that the old man was most susceptible to this kind of thing.

The Insect King looked down at the respectful Orion with satisfaction.

He's useful, pragmatic, and far better than his unfilial crown prince.

Unfortunately, a former space pirate can never be a queen again. Otherwise, if he married her and made her queen again, they might have been able to have another child...

"Won't."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty must grant me a higher position, otherwise I will probably be killed by the Crown Prince at will."

The request is reasonable.

"Can."

"Then I shall take my leave now and go back to make preparations." Orion bowed and took his leave.

The Insect King gave a satisfied "hmm".

......

After Orion left, only the Insect King remained in the hall.

The Insect King leaned back on his high golden throne, his fingertips unconsciously twirling the fine down on the velvet armrests.

He looked at the majestic ancestors depicted on the ceiling murals and began to imagine the future.

If Orion really has the ability to destroy diplomatic relations, then the path to the Human Federation will be completely cut off.

With his path cut off, the crown prince, who had sought refuge with a foreign tribe and grown powerful, had no choice but to return.

The Insect King laughed.

By then, the medicine should have been completed.

The laboratory operates day and night, producing daily, and will soon be able to produce a sufficient quantity.

A drug powerful enough to transform a lowly life into a powerful race.

They would seep into the soul of every weak race struggling to survive in the cracks of the empire, like the sweetest honey.

Give power-hungry ants a stepping stone that can leverage racial disparities, and they will become the most loyal and fearless dogs.

Legions, councils, those deeply entrenched old noble families... no matter what kind of insect they are, they will all become vulnerable in the face of a raging insect tsunami.

They will all turn into withered branches and fallen leaves on the road, things that can be crushed.

By the time Orion gets the results from the humans, the situation in the Empire should be mostly under control.

When the Crown Prince returns, we will be able to control him.

perfect.

If the Crown Prince can be controlled, then he is still his good son.

He was willing to set aside past grievances and continue to let him be the crown prince.

We will pass the throne to him after he passes away.

It wasn't that his fatherly love suddenly erupted; rather, he could only maintain his position as the Insect Emperor if the Crown Prince was his son.

His position as the Insect King was entirely dependent on the Crown Prince and the First Insect Queen. The Insect Queen died early, the Crown Prince was still young, and the Heir Insect was still alive, which is why he was able to seize power.

If the crown prince dies, there will be no heir, and the throne will be contested again.

If a new insect were to become the royal family, and the other insects were not his sons, his position as the insect king would not be secure.

......

An imperial edict was suddenly proclaimed throughout the entire territory.

Effective immediately, the title of Second Prince of the Orion Skywell Empire is restored, the stigma of his past as a wanted space pirate is stripped away, the injustice of his exile is cleared, he is reinstated to the royal family lineage, and he enjoys all the privileges and responsibilities of a prince.
