116. The Gay Little Prince, Part 5

Will was very surprised when he saw Gary, and he wanted to run over and talk to Gary. In the end, because his leg was lame after being bitten by the marching ants, he ran very slow, and before he came near Gary, Gary was already seizing Green and beating him up.

It looked very wonderful, so Will stood on the side and watched it with pleasure. He waited until Gary finished fighting to say hello.

　　

As a result . . . what's the matter with Colonel Mund?

　　

Will actually admired Green very much before; after all, Green was really remarkable. But even then, he still felt that there were more excellent men in this world than Green, such as Colonel Mund.

　　

Ludwig looked more handsome than Green, had a higher military rank than Green, and was younger than Green . . . . He was practically better than Green everywhere. It was a pity that he did not like sub-beastmen and liked beastmen instead . . . .

　　

When Colonel Mund first admitted this, he was sad for a long time and also went to Gary to complain. At that time, Gary's expression was strange, but he did not think much then. Now though . . . .

　　

Gary and Colonel Mund seemed to use couple mechs, ah! Could it be that the man Colonel Mund liked was Gary? Will suddenly came up with such an idea.

　　

Will would think so, but Green and others had not thought about it yet. Right now, they were still shocked.

　　

As for Ludwig’s subordinates from the First Corps . . . .

　　

"Is the boss' face a bit red? How can the boss' face be a bit red?"

　　

"Is this our boss? Why does he look a bit like a sub-beastman seeing the beastman he likes?"

　　

"I'm sure that man is definitely the one the boss fancies!"

　　

. . . . . .

Some people of the First Corps had already arrived on the deck, and they looked towards Gary admiringly. This man was actually able to make their boss show such an expression. They absolutely couldn’t underestimate him.

　　

"What the hell is going on, Gary?" Green could not help shouting. He never imagined that one day, he was actually beaten up by Gary until he could not get up . . . . And there was still Colonel Mund. What was the relationship between Gary and Colonel Mund?

"It has nothing to do with you. I decided to make a clean break from you, and starting from today, we have no relationship with each other anymore." Gary said directly.

　　

"!!" Ludwig, hearing Gary's words, could not be more excited and unconsciously stuck his chest out and pulled his belly in. Gary did not want this Green; did it mean he might look at him now? He really, really liked Gary!

　　

"What did you say?" Green looked at Gary in disbelief and abruptly thought of something. "Is it because of him?" Gary's mech was actually exactly the same as Colonel Mund’s . . . . Green suddenly had a feeling of being deceived, and right now, he no longer wanted to lay his eyes on his mech, which was previously treasured by him. His mech was apparently just a counterfeit object?

　　

"Gary, you actually betrayed Green!" Green's aide-de-camp looked at Gary with hatred across his whole face.

　　

"Gary, Green has been supporting you and giving you spending money. Not to mention that you didn't save others when you saw them in trouble, now you even tore apart his mech and injured him. How could you do this?" Emir also spoke and then glanced at Ludwig. He did not know why Colonel Mund's attitude toward Gary was so strange, but now he hoped that Colonel Mund would be able to clearly see Gary’s true colors quicker.

　　

Hearing the words of these people, Gary smiled again, "In the end, who betrayed who, you yourself are clear about it. As for him supporting me . . . . This is the best joke I’ve ever heard in my life. So what if I tore apart the mech? It’s my thing. If I want to tear it apart, then I’ll tear it apart."

　　

"Yeah, what nonsense are you talking about? Elder Brother Gary . . . . How is it possible that Senior Brother Gary asks for this guy to support him?" Ludwig said right away. He had always called Gary Elder Brother, but unfortunately, Gary later didn’t allow him to call Elder Brother and made him call Senior Brother.

　　

Did Gary like him less and less because he was not as soft and cute as he had been in his childhood? In the past, Gary was obviously very good to him and especially loved to make him turn into his white tiger form and then hold him in his arms . . . .

　　

"Green gives you two-thirds of his income every month, and we all know this!" Green's aide-de-camp said with a sneer. This was one of the reasons why they were dissatisfied with Gary. Green's income nowadays was quite high, but he often had less cash in hand than his subordinates because he gave two-thirds of his income to Gary.

　　

"That bit of money isn’t even enough to repair his own mech." Gary sneered. The military had standard mechs for mech soldiers to use in accordance with their military ranks, but standard mechs were very ordinary, so many mech soldiers would prepare a better one for themselves. And if such mechs were damaged, the military department was not responsible for the repair cost.

　　

Even if it was a standard mech issued by the military department, there was still a credit limit if it needed to be repaired for unwarranted damage during peacetime. The military department could not always let you repair it free of charge.

　　

And this man Green . . . he could become a lieutenant colonel at a young age naturally because he had real skills, and his real skills were basically based on the skills he perfected with great effort.

　　

It was only through repeated battles that he could become a mech fighting expert, and those repeated battles were inevitably accompanied by damages to the mech.

　　

Gary did take Green's money, but after helping him repair the mech and replenish its power source, there was basically nothing left. In the past, when he modified Green's mech, it was him who paid for it.

　　

Mechs were money-burning toys. Generally, only rich people could play them. Solely relying on that bit of Green's pay to play with a mech unrestrictedly was impossible.

　　

"What nonsense you’re talking about! Green is a lieutenant colonel; how’s it possible that his income isn’t even enough to repair the mech?!" Emir absolutely didn't believe it. The lieutenant colonels of the Beastman Empire had a high income. How was it possible that Green’s money was barely enough to repair the mech?

　　

Emir did not believe it, but Green froze. He was aware of his own shortcomings, and he understood thoroughly that his general wear and tear on the mech was indeed a lot. Moreover, he always liked to modify his mech too . . . .

　　

When he was studying, he once had to borrow money to live because of this. Until he met Gary later . . . . 

In the past ten years, he never needed to worry about his mech, so he became more and more fond of finding people to fight. Every time he saw  something that could be added to the mech, he would want to try it on his own mech . . . .

　　

"This is his previous mech. You can ask someone to check how many parts of this mech have been modified and assess the cost required to do it." Gary threw out Green's old mech from his space button.

　　

Ludwig was eager to support Gary at the moment. Now that he finally had a chance, he immediately inspected the mech in his hand.

　　

He was a mech soldier, and he often watched his mother and Gary study mechs, so he was very familiar with mechs. After inspecting the mech to his heart’s content, he said, "This mech has been completely modified and already has nothing in common with the original model. The parts and materials inside are also still very good to use. Even if it’s ten-years pay of a lieutenant colonel, I estimate it’s barely enough to buy such a mech. Well, if you don’t believe my words, you can find others to take a look at it again later. At that time, if it actually costs less than the amount I’ve calculated, I’ll compensate for the difference."

　　

"It hasn’t been long since he became a lieutenant colonel." Gary said.

　　

So, this man was obviously spending Gary's money! Ludwig gave Green a disdainful glance and said, "I’ve only calculated the materials and haven’t calculated the modifying and repair costs yet. Senior Brother Gary is my mother's best student. In the past, when others looked for him for repair, at which time they didn’t offer him a lot of money? Senior Brother Gary won’t give a glance at your monthly income!"

　　

Gary looked briefly at Ludwig. He did not like to modify mechs for strangers, so he had never modified for anyone other than his acquaintances. However, with his skills and his reputation as Myer’s student, his repair cost could indeed be extremely expensive.

　　

Thinking so, he did not refute.

　　

Gary was actually Master Myer’s student?

　　

No wonder he used exactly the same mech as Ludwig. No wonder Ludwig would behave like that in front of him . . . . The people of the Third Corps suddenly realized and were somewhat embarrassed.

　　

Most of them used to regard Gary as Green’s vassal.

　　

Although they all knew that Gary’s skills were very good, Gary always followed after Green, showing that he was not very outstanding in reality. Things like Gary repairing their mechs as new or making some small changes to make their mechs better to use and so on . . . . They became accustomed to it over time.

　　

Gary, a beastman, wandered around following another beastman all day long, so they always felt that he clearly had no ability to show. But now . . . .

　　

Gary was Master Myer’s student, and his strength itself was also great and even surpassed Green’s . . . . All this thoroughly smashed their original impression of Gary to pieces and also reminded them of many previous things, which actually made them not know how to face Gary.

　　

"Gary, you’re actually Master Myer's student!" Will finally chimed in. "Master Myer is my idol! Can you help me get his signature?"

　　

"The signature on the book I gave you last time is one that Teacher Myer signed personally." Gary replied.

　　

"You actually lied to me saying that you signed it!" Will, who had always been very calm, could not be more excited. He took out a book from his space button and showed a very annoyed expression after seeing the worn appearance of the book. "If I had known earlier about this book, I wouldn’t have read it!"

　　

Gary’s mood finally got better after he saw Will’s antics.

　　

Ludwig saw that Gary was in a better mood and immediately said, "Senior Brother, do you want to take a rest? You can rest assured that I’ll definitely kill off those marching ants." He did not want to see Gary talk to Green again . . . .

　　

"I’ll stay a little longer." Gary replied.

　　

"Senior Brother, you just go to rest. You’re a technical staff. What do you do on the battlefield? The military department certainly doesn’t require the maintenance staff to take the field to kill the enemy." Ludwig spoke while glancing at those who had criticized Gary for not coming to the rescue when seeing others in trouble.

　　

The expressions of Green’s subordinates were ever-changing. They criticized Gary for not coming to the rescue when seeing others in trouble in just and forceful manner, but in fact they also had a guilty conscience. At that time, they too did not save Gary when seeing him in trouble . . . . Moreover, as a technical staff, Gary was basically allowed to not go to the battlefield.

　　

They all fell silent, but Green still couldn’t accept everything before his eyes.

　　

"You never told me these, Gary!" Green could not help but say.

　　

"You never asked." Gary was a little impatient. "I asked you to go back with me to meet my family and friends, but you didn't want to."

　　

Gary looked so detached that Green had the feeling that he was about to lose this person, and he could not stop himself from getting panicked.

TL's note: 

- Ludwig used to call Gary 哥哥 (gē ge) = older brother, but Gary told him to call 师兄 (shī xiōng) = senior male fellow student or apprentice

115. The Gay Little Prince, Part 4


Gary made that mech with his own hands, so he was very familiar with every part of it. Being able to tear down the mech so quickly was normal, and there were also reasons why he would do such a thing.

One of the reasons was that he naturally didn’t want the mech he made with his own hands to be ridden by Green and Emir. The second reason was that this mech used some technology that he could not explain to the outside world.
　　
For the sake of the mech pilot inside, he put in spirit stones and arranged a spirit gathering formation when making the mech . . . . If Green continued to be his lover, and the mech continued to be repaired by him, there was of course no problem to do such things. But now the situation was already different.

Green was in an intimate relationship with Emir now and might hand over the mech to Emir for repair and study any time. He absolutely couldn’t let Emir get the technology he worked out with much toil, right? What’s more, he could not let others know about the spirit gathering formation.
　　
This mech was the result of his hard work, and he was also a bit reluctant to destroy it like this. But if he did not destroy it . . . . He certainly didn't want to keep this mech to remind himself again and again of the stupid things he had done.
　　
The mech under his feet had become fragments. Seeing this thoroughly destroyed mech, he only felt light all over and even had a sense of freedom.
　　
When a person had not encountered a few scums in his life, he only needed to keep his eyes open in the future.
　　
"You, come out! I must take you to the military court! Damn it!" Green glared at the red mech with gnashed teeth.
　　
"What do you mean with this, you First Corps?!" Green's aide-de-camp also stood up.
　　
"Why did you damage our lieutenant colonel’s mech?" Another man spoke.
　　
Some people even put on mechs, itching to fight with Gary. "The First Corps is intolerably bullying! If you have the ability, then fight with us!"
　　
These people . . . did not know that the person in the red mech was Gary? Ludwig was somewhat amazed seeing the scene before his eyes. He always thought that Gary had taken the initiative to stay behind to guard the rear, but he was wrong, wasn’t he?
　　
Gary did not have a good impression of Green's men. These guys all had no conscience nor gratitude. They asked him to repair their mechs while having a bad attitude and being unfriendly to him. He himself also had brain problems before, willing to endure it for Green's sake.
　　
And earlier, these people could have taken him along when they retreated, but they all ignored him . . . .
　　
Suddenly rushing towards a few people who had entered the mechs, Gary directly knocked them down and also moved the key parts of the limbs of those men's mechs, causing their mechs to lose their ability to move and collapse with a loud bang. It felt really good to use the best mech to deal with some tattered mechs whose every part was familiar to him.
　　
"Is the First Corps going to do right by us the Third Corps?" Green shouted loudly. "I’ll inform Marshal Mullen about this!" Mullen was the marshal of the Third Corps and had always appreciated Green. Green’s accomplishment in becoming a lieutenant colonel at a young age was also related to Mullen's appreciation.
　　
"Huh . . ." A soft huff floated out of the red mech. At the same time, the cockpit of the mech was opened, revealing Gary inside. "This has nothing to do with the First Corps. I’m not a man of the First Corps!"
　　
"Gary?" Green looked at Gary in shock, and then his face showed a happy expression. "Are you alright? It’s really great that you're alright!"
　　
"Gary?" The Third Corps’ mech soldiers around Green were all startled. How could the person in this red mech be Gary? How was it possible for Gary to be so powerful? He was clearly just a shameless beastman who insisted on clinging to Green!
　　
"How could it be you? Impossible! How can you pilot a mech?" Green's aide-de-camp stared at Gary in disbelief.
　　
"Why can't I pilot a mech?" Gary sneered. His family had nothing but a lot of money, so he could play expensive mechs as toys since he was a child. It was naturally impossible if he could not pilot a mech.
　　
"What the hell is going on here, Gary? How can you be so strong? You . . ." Green looked at Gary with a wounded expression across his whole face. He and Gary had known each other for such a long time, but he never knew that Gary was actually so strong and also had such a powerful mech.
　　
Green suddenly felt that he did not know the person he liked at all. This feeling of being deceived made him feel very, very uncomfortable.
　　
"Gary, you’re obviously so strong, so why didn't you save us before?" At this moment, Emir, who had always been at Green’s side, suddenly spoke.
　　
As soon as Emir said these words, the eyes of Green and the mech soldiers beside Green turned red.
　　
Their battle with the marching ants earlier could be said to be bitter. Many of their comrades were bitten by the marching ants and the mechs eaten clean. Now, thinking that Gary could actually have saved them but had not . . . .
　　
These mech soldiers who originally had opinions on Gary immediately hated him very much.
　　
Gary, watching these people, could not help but sneer at them. At that time, with so many marching ants, how big of an impact could he made by himself? Even if he had been on the battlefield, he most likely would’ve only ended up being surrounded by the marching ants.
　　
What's more, he had saved many people at the rear, but these people actually turned a blind eye to it.
　　
"Gary, even if you don't like us, you also can't just look on unfeelingly as we die, ah!" Emir said.
　　
Green froze and then looked at Gary disappointedly. "Do you hate me so much, Gary?"
　　
"You’re too much, Gary!"
　　
"I didn't expect that you’re actually so malicious!"
　　
"Fortunately, the lieutenant colonel isn’t with you! "
　　
. . . . . .

The people around Green one by one criticized Gary.
　　
Gary smiled and suddenly jumped down from the mech before Emir and then sent a kick towards Emir.
　　
Emir was a sub-beastman and also caught off guard. He was directly kicked out by Gary and fell to the ground with his face up. Only after he fell down, did his startled shout finally come out.
　　
"What’re you doing?!" Green was stupefied and immediately went up to grab Gary's hand. Gary dodged while kicking out at Green.
　　
Green was shocked and promptly blocked Gary's attack with his hand, but Gary changed his trick and still managed to kick him on the leg in the end. Green stumbled back a few steps and started to get angry. He at once threw a punch at Gary, and the two of them fought then and there.
　　
Gary’s spiritual power was almost used up, but his physical strength was not worse than that of ordinary beastmen, and his sparring partners since he was a child were strong men such as Edgar, Fred, and Ludwig. All this made his fighting skills extraordinarily good.
　　
Gary did not like to fight with people, so he never hit people first. However, he and his mother Shu Shu were the same; he did not shoot, but once he shot, it was astonishing . . . .
　　
In the end, Green was beaten down by Gary, who was actually shorter than him by half and a little chubby too!
　　
Gary beat up people heartily, and everyone around Green was stunned. How could this be? How was Green unable to defeat Gary? This was not normal!
　　
Gary controlled the strength of the kick he sent just now, so Emir soon got up from the ground. As a result, he barely got up and at once saw the scene of Green being beaten.
　　
"Gary, Green’s going easy on you, yet you still beat him like this. You’re really too much!" Emir, covering his belly with the hand, shouted. He did not believe that Gary had beaten Green and only thought that Green was going easy on Gary.
　　
Hearing Emir’s words, Green’s subordinates suddenly realized—they had been wondering how Green could fall into a disadvantageous position; as it turned out, it was because he was going easy on Gary?
　　
"Don't go too far, Gary!" One of Green's subordinates yelled at Gary and stepped forward to fight Gary. Upon seeing this, the others also gathered around.
　　
However, before they rushed forward to attack Gary from all sides, someone suddenly appeared in front of them and threw punches towards them.
　　
Green's aide-de-camp, who rushed ahead foremost, was punched in the face, and his mouth and nose were badly damaged. He yelled in pain and suddenly turned into his beast form.
　　
The man behind him was startled, and at the same time, he saw the appearance of the person who was blocking their way clearly—the man was taller than Green, and his face was grave and stern; he looked very handsome, but he simply made people not dare to give him more than a glance . . . . Who was this but Colonel Mund?
　　
Why would Colonel Mund suddenly come to block them?
　　
All the people who were initially going to rush up stopped. Ludwig, however, did not stop but rushed towards them, punching and kicking them . . . .
　　
These people had just gone through a battle, and their nerves had been stretched taut all along. Now, they suffered another beating . . . . At this moment, they, as might be expected, were unable to endure it anymore and ultimately turned into their beast forms one after another.
　　
These beast-shaped beastmen were frantic, and a good deal of them immediately rushed towards Ludwig. Ludwig laughed grimly and met them directly without dodging or fleeing.
　　
It was very disadvantageous to use the human form when doing battle with other beastmen in their beast forms, but Ludwig did not mean to turn into his beast form.
　
Gary did not like to turn into his beast form, but he was still able to crush Ludwig’s beast form directly using his human form. This made Ludwig gradually dislike to turn into his beast form to fight against people. And there were still many people with the same habit as him. Fred, for example, also didn't like to turn into his beast form.
　　
They were beastmen, not manbeasts, and they could always maintain their human forms. This was what being really capable was!
　　
Ludwig, maintaining his human form, picked up the beastman in front of him who had transformed into a beast and, using this man’s body as a weapon, began to smash the surrounding beastmen.
　　
Listening to the conversation between these people and Gary just now, he already had a rough guess.
　　
The man Gary liked actually strayed, and these people before his eyes actually dared to treat Gary badly!
　　
Since Ludwig’s illness was cured by the empress, his body became particularly good, and his recovery ability was very strong. He, carrying a beast in his hands, smashed all the surrounding beasts flat on the ground.
　
Gary was already a step ahead after beating Green down. Seeing Ludwig finished, he smiled and said, "You’ve improved, ah."
　　
Suddenly praised by the person he admired and liked most, Ludwig could not be more excited. He unconsciously stuck his chest out and sucked his belly in and then performed a military salute. "Yes!"
　　
Just after he had finished speaking, he felt that this seemed a bit wrong. Responding like this to Gary's praise to him, would Gary think that he was proud and arrogant?
　　
Thinking this way, he was suddenly a bit anxious. "No, it's not . . . . I . . . uh . . ." Facing Gary, Ludwig could not speak smoothly.
　　
Gary saw him like this and smiled again, "Long time no see, Ludwig."
　　
"Long time no see, long time no see." Ludwig stared at Gary in pleasant surprise, looking very flattered. He also couldn’t help but look at Gary's hand with regret—why didn't Gary shake hands with him?
　　
The people of the Third Corps were already stupefied. How could Gary know Colonel Mund? Why did Colonel Mund look like this in front of Gary?

114. The Gay Little Prince, Part 3


When fighting with the marching ants, the spaceship could not be near them because once they climbed onto the spaceship, those damn cosmic creatures would swarm until they were as difficult to remove as gangrene that had set in the bone.

In the present situation, the First Corps men should arrange a defensive line far from the battlefield area and then bomb the marching ants in that area along with the Third Corps’ spaceship, which was nearly eaten up.
　　
As for the red mech trapped among the marching ants, they should order him to retreat as quickly as possible instead of going ahead to rescue him.
　　
Yet now, Colonel Mund himself was actually going to the rescue.
　　
Green as well as the people around him were very puzzled after seeing Colonel Mund’s behavior on the opposite spaceship. Meanwhile, on the other side, after the people in the main control room of the First Corps' spaceship looked at each other in dismay, they had a feeling of suddenly seeing the light.
　　
"Is it him?"
　　
"It should be him."
　　
"Definitely!"
　　
"No doubt about it!"
　　
. . . . . .
　
These people nodded one after another, faces full of excitement, and they stared at the red mech on the screen with glowing eyes.
　　
"What’re you talking about?" A major who had just been transferred to the First Corps looked perplexed—he was unable to make sense of what these people were talking about.
　　
"You should’ve seen the boss' mech, right?" Someone turned to face the major who had asked the question.
　　　　
"Yes, what's the matter with it?" The major was very puzzled.
　　
"Haven’t you discovered? Other than the color, that red mech is exactly the same as our boss' mech!"
　　
"So? What's wrong with this?" The major was still at a loss somewhat. Many mechs looked the same, ah!
　　
"You’re stupid, ah! Don’t you know that our boss’ mother is the greatest mech master in the Beastman Empire? The boss’ mech was made by him personally. According to reason, it should be unique and unmatched, but now an identical mech suddenly appears. There must be something, ah!"
　　
"Exactly! It’s nothing much if it’s only the outward appearance that looks the same. But the powerful firepower configuration of that mech is also the same as that of the boss’ mech . . . . He he he, there must be an inside story."
　　
“Boss always says that he likes a strong beastman, but he never tells us who the man is. This time we should be able to get acquainted with him!”
　　
"Really, the couple mech has been given to the other party. Why does the boss still tell us that he has no chance whatsoever to date that man? Is he playing with us?”
　　
“I’ll say! I’ve even treated the boss to a drink several times in order to comfort him . . . . The boss should return my money back!”
　　
“No wonder the boss would bring us here. It turns out that the man he falls for is here!"
　　
. . . . . .
　
While having a spirited discussion, these people also put the defensive line in order. Once the boss came back, they would launch an attack on those marching ants.
　　
The newly-arrived major, however, was still quite at a loss. He was stupid for a long time before he suddenly said, "You mean, Colonel Mund likes beastmen?" The man who piloted the mech was obviously a beastman, ah!
　　
"Don't you know? I thought this matter was already known by everyone." The chief of staff of the White Tiger Force, Archie, glanced at the major. "A few years ago, the sub-beastmen voted for ten most eligible beastmen. When the colonel won second place, didn’t he say that he liked beastmen in front of everyone?”
　　
Colonel Ludwig of Mund’s father was the Duke of Mund, aka General Calvin of the First Corps, and his mother was the Duke of Grote, aka Mech Master Myer. Out of the three Grand Dukes in the Empire who were second only to the imperial family, there were two in his family. It could be said that he was absolutely rich and powerful. Naturally, he was elected as the second most eligible beastman with hardly any exception, and his number of votes were just . . . three times less than the first place.
　　
Imperial Crown Prince Fred became the most eligible beastman in the whole empire with a number of votes that no one could surpass.
　　
It was a pity that after the election, Imperial Crown Prince Fred announced right away that he was about to marry his childhood sweetheart. Soon after, Ludwig also stated in public that he actually liked beastmen.
　　
These two men’s attitudes instantly hurt the hearts of countless sub-beastmen. Afterwards, the man whom sub-beastmen most wanted to marry became the second prince of the imperial family, whose name had not even been made public.
　　
Although the little prince was very mysterious and never showed his face in front of the public, his parents and older brother's genes were extremely good, so he surely wouldn’t look bad, would he?
　　
It was said that the emperor and the empress loved him more than the crown prince!
　　
"I thought the colonel was lying at that time . . ." The major looked depressed. Although Colonel Mund said in public that he liked beastmen, after several years, they still hadn’t seen any beastmen approaching him. Thus, many netizens now thought that he was lying at that time.
　　
"How was it lying? Colonel, he’s already had a beastman he likes. It’s just that we don’t know what that beastman looks like . . ." Archie went to look at the screen again. At this time on the battlefield, besides the red mech and numerous marching ants, there was also a blue mech, which was Ludwig's mech.
　　
Gary killed the marching ants brutally, venting the anger and unwillingness in his heart on those marching ants.
　　
The man he loved dearly betrayed him, not to mention abandoning him at the moment of crisis and running away . . . . He was spoiled by his family from childhood until he grew up and had never suffered such grievances!
　　
The carcasses of marching ants floating around Gary had almost shrouded him completely. Meanwhile, those marching ants at the rear attacked Gary incessantly while eating the carcasses of their kin in front.
　　
Spiritual power almost exhausted, Gary finally calmed down and was planning to leave this place.
　　
In fact, he dared to stay among the marching ants because he had a few things to rely on—not to mention that his mech was very powerful, he also carried a lot of weapons and bombs with him. It was difficult for people who wanted to protect a ship to escape, but if he alone wanted to escape, it could not be easier.
　　
With a wave of his hand, a round bomb was thrown from the fiery red mech and promptly exploded in the distance, killing countless marching ants in that area.
　　
Borrowing the blast from the explosion, Gary flew backwards, intending to break away from the battlefield.
　　
Halfway through, Gary was suddenly grabbed by someone and then caught and evacuated at a faster rate.
　　
Who was it? Gary turned his gaze to the display screen in front of him and saw a very, very familiar blue mech.
　　
At that time, his teacher Myer made a red mech for him, but he also made an identical mech with blue color for his son . . . . Not only were the internals of the two mechs the same, the externals were also completely the same. This made him feel weird somewhat, and he initially didn't want to accept the mech, but . . . .
　　
The design of this mech was really too exquisite and too perfect!
　　
No one who liked mechs could refuse such a mech. Naturally, he could not either!
　　
In the end, he still accepted the mech, but he was embarrassed to use it. Later, when he found out that Ludwig, whom he regarded as his younger brother, was actually interested in him, he was even more embarrassed to use this mech.
　　
In the past, he would only take the mech out when he discussed mech technology with Myer each year.
　　
He finally used this mech again after having just been abandoned by a man and immediately encountered Ludwig. This made Gary feel a little uncomfortable, and he unconsciously broke free from Ludwig's hold and started running ahead alone.
　　
The blue mech saw the red mech run like this, but instead of chasing it, he turned back to face the pursuing marching ants and made a few big moves.
　　
Many of those marching ants died, and the marching ants in the back started to concentrate on gnawing the carcasses of the marching ants in front and no longer continued to chase on . . . . Only then did the blue mech turn round to chase after the red mech.
　　
Two mechs, one red and one blue, quickly arrived within the defensive line arranged by the First Corps. At the same time, the spaceship of the First Corps opened fire and began to attack the pursuing marching ants.
　　
Neither of the mechs returned to the spaceship. The number of marching ants was very large, and the bombs on the spaceship were not necessarily able to kill all the marching ants. Therefore, some mech soldiers were required to stay outside to clear up the fish that escaped the net.
　　
Two mechs, one red and one blue, quickly cleared up the surrounding marching ants. At the same time, the mech soldiers of the First Corps also filed out and began to help strangle and kill the marching ants near the spaceship.
　　
The number of marching ants that could survive the artillery attack was very small, so Gary's work was very easy. With a slash of his knife, a marching ant was split in half, and Gary breathed out the anger in his heart.
　　
Those who forsook me, yesterday was irreversible. From this moment on, he and Green were completely separated and had nothing to do with each other anymore.
　　
"Gary, everyone else has run away; why did you still stay among those marching ants?" Ludwig's voice was suddenly heard, and Gary realized that the other party had actually connected the communication between the two mechs.
　　
He was abandoned by someone . . . . Gary felt a little embarrassed and simply used silence to answer.
　　
"Sorry, I asked too much." Ludwig, seeing Gary not speaking, was a bit dispirited. He had liked Gary since he was a child, but he never knew how to please Gary.
　　
He was in poor health when he was a child. When he was two years old, his mother spent a lot of money to buy a chance to get the empress to treat him. After he was brought to the hospital built by the empress, he met Gary, whom was four years older than him, there.
　　
Gary was amazing. He could always come up with all kinds of interesting ways to have fun and would also take out various kinds of snacks for him to eat.
　　
Because of his poor health, his mother managed him very strictly. Although he was a beastman, when he was a child, he rarely had the opportunity to run and jump and were also not allowed to eat even one bite of snacks and so on. His life was very dull and boring, but after he met Gary, all this changed.
　　
He followed after Gary to play wild, and he would eat anything Gary gave him . . . .
　　
Although he would feel unwell when he ran too much, have a stomachache when he ate too much, and occasionally gasp for air, Gary and Gary’s mother were always there to help him heal right away.
　　
A few months later, his body was completely restored to health, but his serendipitous relationship with Gary was not broken.
　　
His father was going to war at that time, and his mother was also very busy. He could only live alone in a large manor in the capital star.
　　
His mother did not allow him to go out, but Gary would often come to see him. Gary said that his older brother went to play with his wife, and he was bored, so he came to find him.
　
He was thinking then, it turned out that becoming someone’s wife could make that someone come find him. So, would it be better for him to become Gary’s wife?
　　
Um . . .  Gary came to find him often and maybe had already regarded him as his wife!
　　
He inwardly thought so and was secretly proud of himself for a long time, until he suddenly realized one thing—he and Gary were both beastmen, and two beastmen normally couldn’t be together.
　　
He lived in the capital star until he was eight years old and spent six years with Gary. Then he left the capital star to reunite with his parents. Six years later, at the age of fourteen, he returned to the capital star to receive education.
　　
He had been living in the barracks for the past six years. He grew so fast that when he saw "Older Brother Gary", who was omnipotent in his eyes, again later, he suddenly found that Gary now was actually shorter than him!
　　
Then his feelings for Gary inexplicably changed.
　　
He liked a beastman, a very high-status and powerful one to boot—although Gary was shorter than him, he was no match for Gary.
　　
At the age of sixteen, he confessed this matter to his parents, hoping that they would not stop him from pursuing Gary nor force him to marry others.
　　
After that . . . he was mercilessly beaten up by his father and sent to a remote planet. His father said that he could not let him continue to stay at Gary’s side and lead Gary astray. It was not until two years later that he was brought back to the capital star from that remote planet by his father.
　　
He learned a lot of skills on that remote planet, and when he reappeared in the capital star, he was much more self-aware and remarkable. However, even before he went to find Gary, he discovered that his parents’ expressions were very abnormal.
　　
His father worried that he would lead Gary astray and thus sent him away. As a result, Gary was led astray by someone else—Gary, whom he liked, liked another beastman.
　　
Gary and that beastman joined the military together after graduating from the Imperial College, and he could do nothing else besides asking his mother to make a present of the mech he made to Gary.
　　
Both his father and mother did not want him to be with Gary, yet he kept insisting on it. They finally softened and no longer stopped him, but Gary became someone else’s . . . .
　　
In the same year, he also joined the military, and his mother gave him a mech too, which was exactly the same as the one he gave to Gary.
　　
During the past ten years, he worked hard and thrived in the military, and his performance in all respects was better than that of the beastman Gary liked. That beastman had just become a lieutenant colonel, while he had a chance to become a major general, yet Gary still didn't like him.
　　
Did Gary stay behind to become a rearguard for that man?
　　
If he was the one Gary liked, he was certainly reluctant to let Gary stay behind to become a rearguard. That guy was really not a good person!
　　
Ludwig scolded Green fiercely in his heart, but he did not dare to talk to Gary again.
　　
He thought he had hid his feeling for Gary very well, but it was still discovered by Gary five years ago. Afterwards, Gary, who previously had been very nice and affectionate to him, was no longer willing to see him alone. Thus, when his mother went to find Gary to discuss mech problems, he could only stand on the side and watch Gary silently . . . .
　　
Gary was really amazing. Not to mention his great strength, his mech technology was also good. There was no one more amazing than him in this world!
　　
Others say that the crown prince was entirely worthy to be the strongest among the younger generation, but he always thought that Gary was the strongest. Even if the crown prince fought more powerfully, what was there to show off with mere brute force? He was pretty sure that the crown prince definitely didn’t know how the mech was made!
　　
Ludwig stopped talking, and of course Gary would not take the initiative to start talking, so the two were silent.
　　
At this time, the spaceship of the First Corps had already received all the survivors of the Third Corps onto their spaceship.
　　
Will had been staring at Green with hatred, and the people of the maintenance department were far away from those mech soldiers. Besides Emir, who originally stood together with those mech soldiers, no one was willing to step forward to repair the mechs of those mech soldiers.
　　
Emir was actually willing to help these people repair their mechs, but his skills were so poor that he was simply unable to repair those heavily damaged mechs.
　　
"You sort yourself out. Let the robots get what you need." The First Corps person responsible for the placement hurriedly said and then left—the battle outside was still going on; they were certainly very busy.
　　
Green stopped him at this moment. "I'm the mech division of the Third Corps. I want to participate in the battle."
　　
The atmosphere in the spaceship’s hold was too weird; he felt he could not stay here anymore. Moreover, Gary . . . . Could his Gary survive? Was there any possibility that the red mech had rescued Gary?
　　
Green urgently wanted to go to take a look.
　　
"Then you follow me." The First Corps man replied.
　　
"We’ll go too!" Some soldiers of the Third Corps said.
　　
"Injured or severely damaged mechs can’t go to the battlefield. Everyone else can go!" The man added, "Also, the maintenance engineers can go to the hold door to help." He looked at Will and others while he was talking. The maintenance engineers were very important in the war—if the spaceship broke down in the course of battle and no one repaired it, the people on the spaceship, even if they were a strong military force, could only be shut in and starved to death in the universe.
　　
The Third Corps originally came with ten thousand people, but now there were only five or six thousand left. Many people who once fought side by side with them had died under the mouth of those marching ants. They were full of hatred for the marching ants, so they all wished to help now.
　　
A large platform was extended out of the First Corps’ spaceship to provide a resting place for those mech soldiers fighting outside, and the men of the Third Corps whose conditions were still fine all came here now.
　　
After getting onto the platform, Green immediately climbed into his golden mech. As a result, he was just about to go out to fight, and he saw that invincible red mech fly toward the platform, followed by Colonel Mund's blue mech.
　　
Close up, Green discovered that the outward appearance of the two mechs was actually exactly the same and also very, very similar to his golden mech.
　　
Green discovered this, so of course Ludwig discovered it too.
　　
This guy’s mech was made by Gary, right? A mech that was so similar to his and Gary’s mech was actually the third party who forcibly came between his and Gary's "couple" mechs.
　　
No, this guy was not the third party; it was himself who might be the third party.
　　
Realizing this, Ludwig was extremely dejected, but unexpectedly, something that shocked him happened in the next second.
　　
The red mech beside him suddenly pounced on the golden mech and then directly tore off one arm of the golden mech!
　　
After that, the red mech continued to move. The golden mech was unable to guard against its own maker and was eventually dismantled completely in a very short time!
　　
The red mech not only dismantled the golden mech but also smashed it to pieces. Before long, only the cockpit in the middle was left of the golden mech.
　　
What was this all about? Was the man piloting the red mech insane? Internecine strife within the military would be subjected to severe disciplinary action!
　　
Everyone around was stunned. At this time, the red mech had pulled apart the barely remaining cockpit roughly.
　　
Green fell out of the cockpit with mortification. He quickly got up and turned towards the red mech resentfully. "Who’re you? What do you think you’re doing?" The mech that Gary made for him painstakingly was actually torn apart by this guy!
　　
In the case of the spaceship already being gnawed away, this might have been the last thing Gary left him . . . . Green, overcome with grief, simply wished he could kill the person before his eyes.
　　
Ludwig too was quite shocked seeing this scene. What was wrong with Gary? Why did he suddenly attack? And attacking his lover to boot . . . .
　　
Anyway, Gary was really amazing! His posture of dismantling the mech simply couldn’t be more handsome! Ludwig stared at Gary with adoration across his whole face. Having recorded all of Gary's actions, he planned to review and practice them after he returned.
　　
Well, incidentally, he could also enjoy the mortified appearance of his love rival.

113. The Gay Little Prince, Part 2


Along with the shaking of the spaceship, a loud "bang" was heard. Gary turned his head and found that the framed photo of him and Green that he placed on the table had been shaken and fallen to the ground. The crystal vase on the bedside table also fell to the ground and was broken into pieces, and the bunch of flowers inside it that Green had sent him the day before yesterday were twisted and scattered.

These were all the proofs of his relationship with Green . . . . Gary could not help but stare blankly but soon came to himself. He opened the door of the room while using his communication device to contact the main control room. " What happened? How’s the condition of the spaceship?"
　　
The door swiftly opened, and he quickly rushed outside—such a sudden shaking of the spaceship definitely meant that it had suffered violent hits. As a maintenance department worker, he should go and take a look.
　　
However, before Gary even ran to the hallway, the spaceship shook violently again, and it was even more violent than before. He was unprepared and almost thrown to the ground.
　　
Circulating his spiritual power, Gary was just about to stabilize his body, and Green behind him suddenly rushed up and hugged him, “Be careful, Gary!"
　　
Green's hug was still so warm. Gary felt his eyes sting, but shortly, he could not help opening his eyes wide.
　　
He smelled Emir’s scent on Green’s body!
　　
The scent was very weak, and it spread out from Green's body and not from Green's clothes!
　　
Gary at once pushed Green away. Seeing Green look at himself with concern, he nearly vomited.
　　
This man actually had intimate contact with Emir!
　　
They had never done the last step because they were both beastmen who, unlike sub-beastmen, did not have organs that could particularly receive the other party’s entry easily. Moreover, even if they wanted to do it, doing it in the military was very inconvenient. There were still some kisses and hugs, though, and he also liked to lie down on the bed side by side with Green while holding hands and talking . . . .
　　
However, Green had not come to find him in his dorm room for quite a long time. At first, it was because he himself was very busy making mech, and later Green also used the same excuse of being busy . . . .
　　
Green was indeed very busy, busy being intimate with Emir!
　　
"Gary!" Being pushed away, Green looked very anxious.
　　
Gary did not even want to give him a glance now. He directly left and ran to the hallway. When he found that Emir was standing at the hallway, his stomach rolled even more, and he felt utterly disgusted.
　　
He never wanted to see these two people again in all his life! As soon as this mission was over, he would immediately apply for retirement!
　　
His youth for more than ten years was actually wasted on such a man!
　　
Gary could not say what he was feeling. Green was clearly not like this before. At that time, the young Green’s whole heart and eyes were full of him. If he said he was hungry and wanted to eat food from a no-takeout store, Green would run out and buy it for him even when it was late at night.
　　
When they had just joined the military, Green's training task was very heavy, but no matter how tired he was, he would come to see him every night before going to bed. The soldiers all had a night curfew, so Green could not stay with him for long. Sometimes Green just barely saw him and had to go back again, but he still enjoyed it and was never tired of it.
　　
When did such a Green change?
　　
Thinking of the past, Gary’s eyes were inevitably moist, and he also blamed himself a little—perhaps everything now was because he did not tell Green about his physical condition.
　　
If Green had known that he was more or less the same as sub-beastmen and could have children, would they have already been married long ago? Once they were married and had a child, Gary probably wouldn’t stray . . . .
　　
All sorts of negative emotions almost drowned Gary. Wiping the corners of his eyes, he eventually suppressed all these emotions.
　　
He was very serious about wanting to make his relationship with Green work. His father and older brother initially disapproved of him choosing Green, such an unremarkable beastman, as his partner, but he argued strongly to get their consent. At one time, he even discussed with them to bring Green back for them to see.
　　
In the end, it was Green who refused. Green's parents had always disapproved of them, so Green felt that the time was not yet ripe and refused to meet his parents.
　　
Actually . . . Green might not have planned to walk with him to the end.

Nowadays, there were a lot of gay beastmen, but gay couples who could walk together to the end were just a few.
　　
In any case, because of today's situation, it was impossible for him to continue with Green. He had his own pride.
　　
Gary finally calmed down, and his communication device also received the report of the actual situation of the spaceship.
　　
Their warship ran into trouble; they encountered one of the big killers in the universe—the cosmic marching ants.
　　　　
Marching ants were a kind of dreadful creatures. Although they were ants and rather small in size, when they gathered together to act in groups, they could eat up everything along the way. Even huge creatures like elephants would become a plate of Chinese food for them.
　　
Cosmic marching ants were of course different from marching ants living on ordinary planets. Their looks were completely different, but their habits were exactly the same.
　　
Cosmic marching ants were only about the size of a human head. Countless of them would gather together and roll into a ball. Then they would drift across the starry sky, and any spaceship or meteorite they encountered would always be eaten thoroughly.
　
If they chose to land on a certain planet, that planet would definitely be eaten with no dregs left in the end.
　　
This cosmic creature was really terrible. Fortunately, with the current state of science and technology of the Beastman Empire, they could blow these creatures to death with weapons.
　　
They could use weapons to blow the cosmic marching ants to death, but when these creatures bumped into a spaceship and even started to gnaw and devour the spaceship, they would also feel helpless in the face of a crisis.
　　
"Those damn cosmic marching ants have already gnawed off the outer layer of the spaceship!" The monitoring staff in the main control room shouted, and the sound passed through the loudspeakers and rang out in the whole spaceship.
　　
Just three minutes ago, a small meteorite collided with their spaceship. The meteorite was very small, so they did not take it seriously at all. They did not expect that after the meteorite collided with their spaceship, it dispersed and actually became a group of cosmic marching ants!
　　
Immediately afterwards, a larger meteorite composed of cosmic marching ants knocked against them!
　　
"Get ready, mech soldiers! Follow me out to fight!" Green's voice also sounded. Obviously, he had fully understood the specific situation and took over the command.
　　
The marching ants were already attached to the spaceship, so many offensive weapons could not be used. Consequently, the mech soldiers had no choice but go out and fight them. As for others . . . .
　　
"Ordinary soldiers will use KS009 to shoot from the window. All maintenance personnel and medical personnel are on standby, ready to support the mech soldiers . . ." Green's voice resounded through the spaceship, making Gary feel very uncomfortable, but he did not forget his proper job and began to gather the maintenance engineers of the maintenance department.
　　
The mech soldiers quickly went outside the spaceship and fought the cosmic marching ants. They could easily kill these cosmic creatures, but the number of cosmic marching ants was too large, and it was clearly impossible to kill them all in a short time.
　　
They could not kill these marching ants in a short time, but these marching ants quickly gnawed a hole in the spaceship. Not only that, but some marching ants also drifted over following the scent issued by their kin.
　　
The number of marching ants hidden in this star field was unexpectedly large!
　　
Marching ants liked to eat metal the most. The better the metal was, the more they liked it. This warship had clearly become a big meal they would not give up easily. The attacking power of a single marching ant was so-so, but if many of them got together . . . .
　　
Watching the scene outside through the surveillance cameras, Gary finally knew why there was a merchant ship missing here—running into such a group of marching ants, even a warship would not necessarily be able to escape, let alone a merchant ship!
　　
"The marching ants got into the power cabin! Mech squadron, quickly go there to support! Maintenance engineers, go there, too! Don’t let those ants destroy the power cabin!" Green shouted again.
　
Gary immediately left for the power cabin with his men.
　　
The spaceship's power source was located there, and maintaining the spaceship's internal stability as well as its aerobic state required power.
　　
If the spaceship’s power system was normal, the people in the spaceship would still be safe even if some holes appeared in certain places. But if the power cabin was damaged, all of them might be completely exposed to the universe!
　　
When Gary rushed to the vicinity of the power cabin, there were already a few holes appearing there, and the mech soldiers were fighting the marching ants next to the holes.
　　
Some of the marching ants were as big as a human head, but the small ones were only as big as a fist. A good deal of the small marching ants stealthily passed through the defensive line formed by the mech soldiers. At this time, they were already crawling around the cabin and had bitten holes in most of the equipment . . . . After Gary entered, he trampled a marching ant that was trying to bite him to death and then called out to the maintenance engineers behind him to start the rush repair.
　　
"Gary, you can actually trample these disgusting things to death!" A commander on the spaceship looked at Gary with some surprise. The marching ants possessed very hard outer shells and certainly couldn’t be trampled to death so easily!
　　
"My innate skill is amazing." Gary responded casually and started working.
　　
Although he did not like to fight with people like his mother, he was actually very strong. His father and big brother were recognized as the strongest fighters of the Beastman Empire, but when he faced them, he only took a little beating . . . .
　　
Fine, they actually went easy on him. But he was really only a little bit weaker than them.
　　
The maintenance department personnel had to ensure that the power cabin could function normally, and they also had to help repair the mechs after some mech fighters returned with their mechs damaged. They were very, very busy, and Gary was undoubtedly the busiest among them.
　　
Repairing a mech quickly, Gary went to direct others’ work.
　　
Many people in the maintenance department were brought out by Gary himself, and each one followed him blindly. Sometimes he did not even need to explain his orders clearly, and they already knew what to do just by looking at his expression.

Emir stood aside watching this scene and inevitably felt jealous. He had just been here for half a year, and his skills were not good at all, so he could only play second fiddle to others. Gary, however, was a major . . . .
　　
Emir bit his lip and could not help looking through the holes at the situation outside.
　　
Outside, the mech soldiers were fighting with the cosmic marching ants, and the most eye-catching among them was a golden mech.
　　
Other mechs were gnawed by the marching ants to some extent, but this mech was completely unharmed, and there were many marching ants carcasses floating around it, far more than others.
　　
The man driving the mech was Green. He loved Green, whom would become his husband in the future.
　　
Emir stared at Green, looking distracted, and his hands stopped moving.
　　
"If you don't want to work, just fuck off!" Gary trampled another two marching ants to death. While lifting Will, who was occupied with repairing and almost bitten by the marching ants, he caught a glimpse of Emir who was in a daze, and his heart suddenly could not cope with it.
　　
Emir, who was abruptly reprimanded by him, felt wronged.
　　
However, Gary had no time to pay attention to him, and others also had no time to comfort him.
　　
"Retreat! Abandon the power cabin!" A voice suddenly rang out. Gary looked up in surprise and suddenly found that there were many marching ants crowding in and rushing towards this side. Among these marching ants, Green in a golden mech was like a killing machine, harvesting the marching ants’ lives at lightning speed.
　　
That mech was made by his own hands. It used a lot of precious materials and even used the spirit stones that his mother brought back from Fallen Beast Planet. The hard work poured into it was incalculable.
　　
If he had known earlier that this man would betray himself, he would not have gifted him with such a mech no matter what . . . . Anyway, it was completely meaningless to think about it now. They were currently in big trouble; maybe everyone would eventually become a Chinese food in the marching ants’ stomachs.
　　
The marching ants rushed forth toward them as fast as the tide. A good deal of mech soldiers were surrounded by them and then gnawed clean. All that remained were their miserable shrieks echoing from the communication devices.
　　
Gary had a mind to go out to support, but the situation on the spaceship was not better than on the outside.
　　
Countless marching ants broke through the defense lines held up by the mech soldiers outside and entered the spaceship. The maintenance personnel and medical personnel guarding the front line on the spaceship faced a life-threatening situation.
　　
Grabbing two sub-beastmen beside him, Gary immediately threw them behind and then went to save the next one.
　　
"Gary!" As Will, whose leg had been bitten off a large chunk of flesh, was thrown into the protective circle made of soldiers by Gary, he shouted, "Quickly retreat!"
　　
As a maintenance engineer, although Gary was a beastman, he also had the right to retreat in advance, but the situation now . . . . Gary did not retreat; rather, he saved people while fighting those marching ants that had broken in.
　　
"Help!" A familiar voice sounded. Gary raised his head and saw Emir, whom he loathed.
　　
The maintenance personnel were usually in the innermost area, but this Emir, with no rhyme or reason, actually ran to the outermost of the spaceship and was now crying for help while holding onto a metal pillar.
　　
There were originally several hundred soldiers killing the marching ants, but many of those soldiers had been eaten up  now, leaving a dozen or so. It was the nature of beastmen to protect sub-beastmen, so these dozen or so beastmen were surrounding Emir to protect him.
　　
Surrounding these people everywhere were the marching ants. If they were not rescued, they would undoubtedly die . . . . Gary ran over there, grabbed a soldier, and threw him to the rear, and then the second one, the third one . . . .
　　
"Save me! Save me!" Emil's call for help was even sadder and shriller.
　　
Gary finally threw the last soldier to the rear at this time. Although he was a little unwilling, he still stretched out his hand towards Emir in the end. But unexpectedly, the pillar this man holding onto was gnawed off by the marching ants at this time.
　　
Gary originally wanted to grab his collar, but in the end, he only managed to grab his hand. And he did not know why, but Emir actually shook him off.
　　
Wasn't this person still calling for help a moment ago? Why did he get rid of him now? Gary was a little puzzled and suddenly found that there were artillery shells killing many marching ants near him, and at the same time, a golden mech appeared in front of him.
　　
"Green!" Gary subconsciously felt pleasantly surprised.
　　
He thought that Green would extend his hand to him like before and then pick him up and put him into his mech. He did not expect that after Green controlled the mechanical arm to reach out, the one he picked up was actually Emir.

The army of marching ants could not be held back anymore. They all had to retreat into various small spaceships or lifepods allocated within the warship to split up and escape. Therefore, Green along with his mech soldiers also retreated and returned to the spaceship.
　　
These mechs were already in tatters, and even Green's golden mech was full of holes. They fled in a big panic, but Green did not forget to grab Emil and put him into his cockpit.
　　
Yet he did not take Gary into consideration.
　　
Before being loaded into the cockpit by Green, Emir glanced at Gary proudly. At this moment, he was the victor, and Gary was the loser.
　　
Gary could not tell what he felt. He was still looking for a justification for Green before and felt that Green should still love him. But now, he was ruthlessly given a slap on the face by reality.
　　
Green did not care about him at all!
　　
At the critical moment, Green saved that sub-beastman but abandoned him and ran away!
　　
Watching the golden mech escape towards the rear, Gary was stiff all over until he felt a pain on his leg. A marching ant passed through the protective shield made of his spiritual power and bit his leg, making him finally clear headed.
　　
The people behind had already retreated. He heard Will and some maintenance department personnel calling him, obviously very worried about him, but they had no capability to rebel after all and were ultimately coerced into leaving by the soldiers.
　　
Gary kicked a marching ant out. As far as his eyes could see, he was alone now. Everyone was gone, and what remained were countless marching ants.

Gary's spiritual power had been lost by more than half after saving a lot of people just now, but the marching ants around him were more and more, surrounding him into a huge cocoon.
　　　　
"Huh . . ." With a chuckle, Gary took out a mech from his space button.
　　
Although he was a mech maintenance engineer, he rarely piloted mechs. Others also didn’t know that his level of mech piloting was actually pretty good. In addition, he even possessed one of the strongest mechs in the Beastman Empire.
　　
Myer, the greatest mech master in the Beastman Empire, had once collected countless materials and spent ten years personally designing and producing a unique and unmatched mech in the world. Ten years ago, he gave this mech as a present to his disciple Gary.
　　
Not only this, but during those ten years, every time Gary left the military and returned to the capital star to reunite with his family, Myer would also come to visit him and teach him knowledge of the mech while helping him improve the mech.
　　
There were thousands upon thousands of mechs in the Beastman Empire, and there were countless custom-made mechs, but Gary was very certain that his own mech was absolutely the strongest in the entire empire. Even when he only imitated this mech to make Green's golden mech, the result was enough to shock people.
　　
Of course, now was not the time to think about it . . . .
　　
The mech Gary let out was fiery red, like a ball of fire, and when Gary jumped into the mech, it really became a ball of fire—the surrounding marching ants in the vicinity of the mech were burned to ashes almost instantly.
　　
The surrounding marching ants could not approach Gary’s mech at all, and at this moment, Gary started to move . . . . 　　

The fiery red mech killed and beheaded the surrounding marching ants at lightning speed. This scene looked supremely beautiful, making people can not help but feel worshipful.
　　
Green and others, who had fled into a small scout spaceship attached to the warship, saw the mech and were all dumbfounded.
　　
"Who’s that?" Green's aide-de-camp blurted. That person was really too strong! Or that mech was too strong! He always felt that Green was already very strong, but that person’s fighting strength was perhaps a hundredfold stronger than Green’s.
　　
"I don't know." Green looked utterly shocked. When he used the mech Gary made for him just now, he had the sense of being carefree and unrestrained and thought that his mech simply couldn’t be stronger. But now . . . that red mech was much stronger than his mech!
　　
He looked a little stupid—when would he be able to become this strong?
　　
"Green, you actually deserted Gary, you bastard!" A limping sub-beastman suddenly rushed out and threw a hard helmet at Green.
　　
Green managed to catch the helmet, and his face changed. "Gary didn't come back? How could it be?"
　　
"So many marching ants! How could he come back after you deserted him?" Will looked at Green with hate across his whole face. “You bastard! You’ll definitely get your retribution!"
　　
"Are you crazy? The situation was so urgent at that time; how could we have time to save him?"
　　
"He ran out himself and even tried to murder a sub-beastman. Why should we save him?"
　　
"Serve him right!"

. . . . . .

The mech soldiers at Green’s side started to talk one after another.
　　
"Enough! Stop talking!" Green put a stop to them. Although Gary was going to do harm to Emir at that time, which made him hard to accept and very resentful, he felt like he was hollowed out from head to foot when he learned that Gary actually didn’t come back. Gary . . . did not come back?
　　
"You didn't save Gary?" Green turned his gaze to the soldiers beside him. Except for the pilot himself, only one more person could enter the cockpit of the mech, so he could not take care of Gary after he had pulled Emir in.
　　
Gary was his lover and the most capable maintenance engineer on the spaceship, and he also held the rank of a major, which belonged to categories of people who had to be saved . . . . He thought his comrade-in-arms behind him would definitely save Gary. As a result . . . these people actually didn’t save Gary?
　　
The few remaining mech soldiers at Green’s side looked extremely angry, and some even said, "Why would we save him?" They were all Green's friends, and they always hated Gary, a beastman who entangled Green.
　　
Green, whom they admired, could obviously marry a gentle and soft sub-beastman. Unfortunately, he was entangled by Gary, and even his pay every month had to be handed over to him.
　　
"Exactly! He was even going to hurt Emir!" Some people spoke again. When they fled back then, they saw that Gary clearly could pull Emir from falling out, yet he let go of his hold.
　　
"Bullshit! Gary obviously went to save people!" Will shouted. At the same time, several beastman soldiers who were covered with cuts and bruises all over also came beside Will. "Yes, that’s right. Major Gary went to save us!"
　　
"He obviously pushed Emir out!" Green's aide-de-camp said.
　　
As the two sides were about to argue opinionatedly, the pilot suddenly shouted, "The reinforcements have arrived! We’re saved!"
　　
They had sent out a distress signal, but they did not expect the rescue spaceship to really come!
　　
The spaceship behind them had been almost gnawed up, and the marching ants might catch up at any time . . . . At this moment, the fact that the reinforcements could come was simply the most wonderful thing for them.
　　
Green subconsciously looked over and saw three huge spaceships heading towards their side. All three spaceships had the First Corps logo on them, and in addition to this, every spaceship was also imprinted with a majestic white tiger.
　　
"It's the White Tiger Force of the First Corps! Such a configuration . . . . Could it be Colonel Mund?" A mech soldier stared at the spaceships not far away, looking pleasantly surprised.
　　
Thirty years ago, Calvin, the only son of the Duke of Mund, admitted responsibility and resigned from his post as Capital Star Police Department Bureau Chief to join the First Corps because his mother Jonathan struck at the imperial family and even kidnapped the empress and a few others.
　　
He was brave and good at fighting, unafraid of life and death. In the first year, he caught those fleeing subordinates of his mother Jonathan, and later, he also made many military achievements. In the end, he even brought the White Tiger Force belonging to him into the First Corps!
　　
Now, Calvin had inherited the title of Duke of Mund and held the military rank of general. And because he had redeemed his mother’s crimes, he was revered by people. Ten years ago, his only son Ludwig also joined the military.
　　
Ludwig had just grown to adulthood when he joined the military. He was only eighteen years old, but he was more resolute and determined than everyone else. During the past ten years, he had completed so many tasks, to the extent that he had already taken up duty as a colonel before he was even thirty years old. There were even rumors that he might become a major general before the age of thirty.
　　
The high status and powerful Colonel Mund was an idol of many people. Green admired him very much. If it was a normal situation, he would definitely go to say hello to Colonel Mund right away, but now . . . . Gary’s matter put a strain on his heart, making his whole person look a bit stupid.
　　
The pilot quickly connected the communication, and the image of Colonel Mund appeared on their screen.
　　
After sweeping his eyes over them through the screen, Colonel Mund, who was younger than most of them, frowned, seemingly a little unhappy. "How's the situation?"
　　
"Colonel, we’ve suffered heavy casualties . . ." Green had not finished speaking yet when he suddenly found the opposite Colonel Mund turned his body aside.

The colonel turned his gaze toward the position next to him, and it was unknown what he was looking at.
　　　　
"There’s a red mech among those marching ants?" Colonel Mund seemed to be asking the people around him, but his voice was also transmitted to their side.
　　
"Yes." Someone answered Colonel Mund.
　　
"Advance at full speed! Let the mech squadron prepare for the rescue! No, I’ll go in person!" Colonel Mund stated, turning round and leaving at once. He even started to run before long.
