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

......

The intelligence team simulated the three-dimensional structure of the coastal highway on a virtual sand table.

The undercover agent kept reporting his real-time location.

On the semi-transparent blue model, only a single red dot is slowly moving, gradually approaching the ambush point.

— Orion.

Binhai Avenue is a single main road with no forks, so there's no need to worry about it suddenly turning onto another road.

The real-time map model was projected onto the Crown Prince's sand table and also onto the visual goggles of the ambush troops.

A dozen or so blue dots representing their elite assault team lay silently in ambush within an encirclement spanning several kilometers, watching the red dot representing him slowly approach.

Once Orion enters the encirclement, the blue dot can block all of the red dot's escape routes, closing in and trapping him.

Eliminating him is the first step in eradicating the empire's cancer, charge!

The energy response in front of the target was stable, showing no signs of abnormal movement. The point of light continued to move at a constant speed towards the encirclement. He seemed unaware; excellent, just a hair's breadth away!

He is about to enter the ten-kilometer radius of the encirclement.

Lan took a deep breath, raised his hand, and gave the order to prepare for the encirclement.

The entire female assault team was placed on high alert, held their breath, and gripped their weapons.

Ten kilometers, at the speed of a hovercar, would only take a few minutes.

Preparation—

Once he's inside the encirclement, make your move immediately!

However, just as he was waiting for Orion to enter the circle, he swung his hand down.

Suddenly, the transparent blue virtual sandbox began flashing red, and an alarm blared: "Beep beep—! Beep beep—! Beep beep—! Beep beep—! Beep beep—!..."

【ERROR! 】【ERROR! 】【ERROR! 】【ERROR! 】......

Heavy, abrupt red notification boxes with beeping alarms kept appearing and overlapping, completely covering the coastal highway model on the virtual sand table.

The hovercar, carrying the red dot representing Orion, turned around without warning and gradually moved away from their ambush zone.

Time seemed to have been paused, I felt like I was hallucinating, and something seemed to shatter.

The numerous assault team members, who were already prepared for the surprise attack, suddenly froze, their hearts almost stopping. Their weapons hovered in mid-air as they stared intently at the warning alarm that suddenly popped up on their visual screens, flashing red.

After flashing for a moment, Orion's blinding red dot changed direction and headed directly towards the airport.

The air seemed to freeze.

"What's going on?" the Crown Prince immediately asked the intelligence team.

What happened?! How did Orion find out?! Where was it leaked?!

"Your Highness, we didn't leak it!!! Look at the information on the Imperial Administration's official website!!!" The intelligence team was furious.

Lan opened the Empire's official website and looked at the latest news update.

[Latest Information: His Highness Orion, a member of the Royal Family, has confirmed that he will depart from his mission ship at 1:15 AM Standard Time to return to the central planet of Liernia via the Human Federation's exclusive shipping route. He is expected to arrive at the central planet 8 hours after Imperial Standard Time and at the Grand Palace 36 hours after Imperial Standard Time to attend the New Year's celebrations.]

It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over my head.

This is terrible!

Ah? ? ?

Just as he was about to enter the encirclement, he received a message ordering him to return for the celebration and turn back to Starport?

He just ran away like that?!

The Crown Prince, in a fit of rage, slammed his head down, yelling, "Damn it!!!"

Those incompetent and utterly useless bastards in the Imperial Administration! What idiot sent him this message?! They really know how to pick their timing! Couldn't they have sent it a little later?!

Grass.

What kind of shitty luck did Orion have?

It was so close, just a tiny bit more!

The operation to clear out the enemy failed.

The Crown Prince slammed his fist on the table.

Frustrated, he ruffled his hair and watched as the point of light representing Orion turned and slowly moved away from the encirclement in the opposite direction.

At this point, it would be too late for the lurking female soldiers to ambush him on their way to the airport. If they pursued him, Orion would discover them.

Once he discovers this, he will become desperate and act recklessly. After all, this is Earth. Orion is one of the fastest Nocturnal Moths among the Zerg, and his combat strength is similar to that of his female parent. If he escapes to human settlements and becomes desperate, he will pose a significant threat to humans. Only in uninhabited areas can we ambush him.

Ugh, I'm so angry, so angry, so angry!

The Crown Prince slammed his head on the table.

Ugh, it's still so frustrating. Such a foolproof operation, and the result... damn it.

It's all that old trash, the Insect Emperor's, fault.

The Crown Prince slammed his fist on the table again.

The Crown Prince grew angrier the more he thought about it.

But on second thought, this is good too. With Orion back in Lyrnia, it's a good opportunity to wipe him out, the Insect King, and all those nobles in one fell swoop.

I closed my eyes and shook my head vigorously.

I took a deep breath, opened my eyes again, and had already adjusted my mindset!

It's okay, it's not a big problem.

They can still fight.

Plans changed.

"Target location updated!" the Crown Prince declared decisively, "The Grand Palace of Liernia! New Year's Celebration!"

Since we're going to have a New Year's celebration, let's make it a big one.

Just in time for the new year and a fresh start, let's celebrate the future of Liernia with a grand celebration.

Weren't we going to have a celebration? Then let's have a grand New Year's celebration!

All of you! Die! To! Father!

......

Because this was a secret operation, it would be useless for anyone else to go down, and there was also a risk of leaks, so only the Crown Prince went down to command.

Gao Tian and the others were waiting for the results in the living room when the Crown Prince came running up.

Gao Tian noticed something was off about his expression: "What's wrong, baby?"

The little butterfly stopped in his tracks, standing in the center of the living room, his chest heaving. He took a deep breath.

"Orion ran away—!!!!!"

I'm so angry, so incredibly wronged!

"What?! How did it get away?" Gao Tian exclaimed in surprise.

Didn't they call up all the female soldiers? Nearly five thousand high-level female soldiers. Is Orion really that strong?

"The Empire called him back to attend the New Year's celebration, but he turned around on the way and went directly to the airport back to Liernia!" The little emperor went crazy, hitting a sofa cushion with it!

I'm so angry! I'm so angry! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!

His luck was just too coincidental, and Gao Tian couldn't say anything else: "Oh, well, there's nothing I can do about it..."

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh—" The Crown Prince punched the pillow a few more times with a ferocious expression, finally calming down.

It's alright, stay calm, it's a small matter, we can still fight back.

The Crown Prince is preparing to return to Liernia.

The Crown Princess and Bampo were given a pre-battle pep talk.

The Crown Princess and Bambo sat in a row, listening to his instructions.

The legions on Bishen's side are ready and prepared to launch a general offensive against the Council of Nobles.

They planned to wait together until the New Year's celebration at the Grand Palace of Liernia, when the Insect King and the nobles gathered, and then overthrow the royalists, the Insect King, and Orion.
