Chapter 107 Clues

The two agreed to Marshal Ye's plan, since they couldn't think of any other good methods for the time being.

Princess Mingyue was meeting with Marshal Drake at this moment. She had heard of him before, and he was considered a rising star in recent years, second only to Marshal Ye.

Drake's family, the Atlas, is a minor noble family on a second-tier planet in the Empire, primarily responsible for the animal feed business.

It's also related to the Zerg, since the Zerg that are killed are recycled and reused by the Empire, usually processed into feed or fertilizer.

It's big news that a small family on a second-class planet has produced a person with exceptional talent.

Princess Mingyue was concerned about hearing about this because someone on the StarNet claimed that he was the second Marshal Ye.

She had to go and see for herself. To be honest, Drake was indeed a handsome and capable man, but he was still a bit inferior to her Marshal Ye.

"Your Highness, are you well?"

"Greetings, Marshal Drake. I've come here regarding the Zerg and Marshal Ye." Mingyue skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"The Zerg have not made any moves yet. I have deployed troops on the defensive line. As for Marshal Ye, unfortunately, there is still no news of him."

"Marshal Drake, you've worked hard. The defense still needs your continued attention. As for Marshal Ye, I'll send some more people to scout things out."

"Does the princess have news of Marshal Ye?" Drake exclaimed excitedly.

Mingyue sensed something was amiss. "Not yet. Marshal Drake seems quite concerned about Marshal Ye?"

“We’re all colleagues, it’s only right!” Drake calmed down again.

"Marshal Drake, rest assured, I will inform you if there is any news about Marshal Ye!"

"Very well, Your Highness, I shall take my leave!"

"Marshal Drake, take care!"

Princess Mingyue was somewhat puzzled, so she had someone summon Lieutenant Li and inquire about Drake.

"Well, he's a pretty good guy. He's commanded several battles and is quite brave and resourceful. Yesterday, he even led a squad to wipe out a Zerg force that was trying to sneak in. He's also very kind to his subordinates, and the soldiers of the Fourth Legion all respect him."

Unexpectedly, Lieutenant Li started praising Drake.

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

"If you really want to say something's not right, there is something there," Lieutenant Li said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

"I've heard from people in the Fourth Army that Marshal Drake is, after all, as young as Marshal Ye, and he used to be quite cheerful. But after arriving on the battlefield and being wounded, he became more composed, like a veteran who has experienced many wars, and his attacks on the Zerg became more precise. But that's normal; the battlefield changes people."

Mingyue seemed to be deep in thought, "After being injured, it's like you've become a different person?"

She began to speculate boldly, but her immediate priority was to find Marshal Ye.

Several days later, Princess Mingyue still hadn't received any reports, and she couldn't stand it any longer, so she summoned Lieutenant Li.

"Lieutenant Li, is there still no news of Marshal Ye? Continue to send more men to search for him. We must find him alive or dead!"

Just as Lieutenant Li was about to say that there was still no progress, a message came through the personal terminal.

"We've found Marshal Ye's mecha fragments!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"What! Where was it found?" Mingyue was a little worried. How could it be a piece of mecha?

"It drifted out from the Zerg." Lieutenant Li was also somewhat saddened; even the Marshal's mech was in pieces, and he himself was still unknown.

Mingyue was silent for a moment, then turned to look out the window. "Now that we have news, let's continue sending people to search."

After Lieutenant Li left, Mingyue immediately summoned her personal guard captain and ordered him to keep an eye on Lieutenant Li's search party.

Sure enough, after Lieutenant Li's search team set off, another group of people quietly followed them.

"As expected, I knew Drake wasn't innocent!"

The news about Marshal Ye's mecha fragments was just a temporary fabrication she released to see if Drake would make a move; now it seems he did indeed have ulterior motives.

However, Princess Mingyue didn't have time to pay attention to him at the moment. Her team had indeed found news about Marshal Ye, but it was a fragment of his teammate's mecha, and the direction was the opposite of the false news.

This time, she planned to lead the team to search for them personally. The longer they were delayed, the more dangerous Marshal Ye and his group would become.

"Phoenix, plan your route forward!"

"Planned, area ahead marked as Zerg! Cloaking mode activated for you!"

Marshal Ye and his companions were indeed in a bad situation. Their plan was good, but they overlooked the fact that they were too close to the Zerg's main camp and there were far too many Zerg outside the cave.

They tried every means to kill some Zerg, but compared to the Zerg on this planet, it was negligible.

"Captain, why don't we just fight our way out!" Xiao Fei said anxiously. They had killed a lot of Zerg these past few days, but everyone had been injured quite a bit.

"Don't talk nonsense. You've seen the number of Zerg outside. We have no way of escaping!"

"Then this won't help! Our Zerg pheromones are almost used up, and they'll find us sooner or later if we keep going like this."

This is also a headache for Marshal Ye. Xiao Fei is right; they are truly in dire straits.

"Let's wait a bit longer, I'll think of another way!" But Ye Yuan wouldn't give up so easily.

Phoenix rapidly traversed the Zerg territory in its search, and Mingyue grew increasingly anxious.

"Princess, we need to leave here as soon as possible. The Zerg soldiers seem to have spotted us," her team urged her.

"Wait a little longer, Phoenix is ​​releasing Zerg pheromones!"

"Yes! Zerg pheromones have been released!"

Zerg pheromones can help them buy some time, but this is Zerg territory after all, and they can't stay here for too long.

"Phoenix, detect everything related to the Empire!"

"Princess, you mustn't! Detecting energy will quickly reveal our presence!"

"Never mind, let's give it our all! Be prepared to evacuate at any time!"

Phoenix detection was activated, and the powerful energy fluctuations quickly attracted the attention of the Zerg.

"Princess, we must evacuate. This time, a large Zerg force is heading our way."

"Wait a little longer, Phoenix will be finished testing soon!" Princess Mingyue told herself to stay calm.

"Mech fragments detected, human blood detected, human clothing detected, and the same insectoid pheromones as those from the Empire detected!"

"Pheromone? Turn off the detection, go to the pheromone!" Princess Mingyue immediately realized that someone was releasing pheromones to confuse the insectoids, just like her, which meant that someone was still alive.

Just as the Zerg army was about to arrive, Princess Mingyue shut down the power source in time and flew towards Marshal Ye's location.
