Chapter 1107: 17.34 Fourth Violet Star – Headquarters
At the Headquarters…
When the troops who had gone with Lieutenant General Zephyr von Gretel returned with the children but without the commander. Seeing the crimson eyes of the youngsters who had been rescued from the Zergs’ nest made everyone realize that someone had been sacrificed for the protection of these children.
“Reporting to the General… The Nest of the Zergs was found at the South Cliff. No one knows how deep that Cliff is but there should be at least a million Zergs in that area!”
“Where is Zephyr?” General Nimbus asked.
When the soldiers and students did not reply immediately. He realized what had happened right away. Yet, this man just closed his eyes for a moment and took a big breath. As he opened his eyes, the warmth within had dissipated and appeared bland. General Nimbus began issuing orders as if the sentences were scripted and he was simply reading them. Those who knew about his true connection with Lieutenant General Zephyr von Gretel, on the other hand, understood his reaction. After all, the one he had killed was the General’s Wife.
General Nimbus commanded, “Prepare the spaceship. The students must be returned to the Main Star alive. Unit 3 will escort them back together with the teachers of First Military Imperial School. As for the rest of my soldiers, are you willing to stay on this planet to clean up these bugs?”
“Yes, Your Excellency!” The Soldiers all saluted. For them, the Zerg is their nemesis. The kind where only one of them can exist and the other must be completely destroyed.
Dean Frey von Gregory was about to inform them that the Grand Marshal himself was on his way here but a soldier suddenly came running to report with urgency.
“General! Young Lord Titus had arrived in headquarters and said he wanted to tell something to the General personally.”
Sigh~
“Let him inside.” General Nimbus said.
Titus von Chrysalis’ jovial manner vanished as he noticed the amount of injured in the headquarters. He may not care about the students and faculty of the First Military Imperial Academy, but the troops are a different story. They are the troops that protect his family. He didn’t hold back and began mending the troops first, knowing that they would need to engage the combat once his younger brother began.
He stopped before the General and saluted, “Greetings, Granduncle Nimbus.”
“…Um. No longer trying to hide? If so, help this old man treat our comrades.” General Nimbus von Gretel said.
Titus von Chrysalis said, “This one had already finished curing the ones outside. I will now begin treating those who were fatally injured.”
“Okay.” General Nimbus agreed. Suddenly he asked, “Have you met Xiao Ya?”
“Yes. He is already on his way to the South.” Titus von Chrysalis replied.
The General frowned when he smelled the fragrance of mint and snow coming from Titus and asked, “This fragrance… were you injured?”
“There is a fallen… a foreign variable. Just a bit of injury but Xiao Ya already healed it. Be bumpy on the way. He asked me to come here and help heal the injured. By the way, Granduncle, where is Granduncle Ze?” Titus von Chrysalis asked.
General Nimbus von Gretel answered, “Out of commission for now.”
Titus von Chrysalis’s expression turned ugly and worried. He seems to be nervous about something and this is a thing only their family can understand.
“This is not good. He will completely lose his temper. We should move the injured and children to the ship and leave the Planet’s surface as soon as possible.” Titus von Chrysalis said with a face that looked anxious.
Megan Shelley, who was standing beside him asked, “What’s wrong?”
“We should take off as soon as possible.” Titus von Chrysalis said.
General Nimbus responded, “Preparations had been made.” He looked at one of the soldiers overlooking his command.
The soldier speaks up, “Reporting to the General. Those who were fatally injured had been transferred. We are not letting the student in the spaceship.”
“Ah! Before I forget. Granduncle, separate that student named Silvan von Rosegard. That Fallen… I mean Foreign variables had hosted in his body. He will bring danger to the other students if they are together.” Titus von Chrysalis said.
Megan Shelley added, “Silvan von Rosegard is the Second Prince’s Fiance. If you are going to separate them then it is impossible.”
“I understand.”
General Nimbus von Gretel nodded and ordered his troops to remove Silvan von Rosegard and Christopher Klein von Imperlian from the rest of the pupils and bring them here. Dean Frey von Gregory and the other instructors there were perplexed as to why the military was attempting to take away some of their children. The Dean is expected to speak out for the students at this point, but Frey von Gregory did not. He was already perplexed when Titus spoke the words “Fallen” or “Foreign Variable.” He had the impression that these sentences contained information that none of the mortals should have.
When they learn that two of their kids would be detained by the military, some instructors begin to speak out. Furthermore, one is a member of the Royal Family, while the other is a member of the Noble Family. This is a slap on the face to the Aristocrats, and those of modest background have long feared such a dilemma.
“You cannot take away the Second Prince and Young Master Rosegard! They are of the Royal Clan. This is treason!”
“That’s right. Why is there a need to detain them? They haven’t done anything at all!”
“You better stop this! Or we will have to file a complaint and report it to the Palace when we return to the Main Star!”
General Nimbus simply needs to glance coldly at these loudmouth instructors to get them to stop talking. But he knew the institution would undoubtedly speak up if the two students were detained. The presence of the monster in Silvan’s mind, on the other hand, is exceedingly perilous. Only the Butterfly Emperor, Argus Blues von Chrysalis, and Yara von Chrysalis are capable of settling divinity-related problems in the Chrysalis Clan.
“Dean Frey, doesn’t even have a problem with this General taking two of your students?” General Nimbus asked.
Dean Frey von Gregory responded, “I will need to see the two students before you take them away and I shall stay here to watch over them. Is that alright?”
“It’s good that the Dean isn’t unreasonable. Of course, you are free to stay as you wish. But the rest must return to the Main Star, especially the students.” General Nimbus said.
Dean Frey von Gregory said, “Of course, we shall follow the arrangements of the General. I would first like to inform the General that the Grand Marshal is also on his way here. I have explained the rough details about the situation here to them.”
General Nimbus and Titus von Chrysalis as well as the rest of the people who heard the Dean’s words were all dumbfounded. The existence and position of the Grand Marshal is sometimes even above the Royal Family.
“Why would the Grand Marshal come here? He usually doesn’t leave the Main Star (Imperium).” Titus von Chrysalis mumbled which was overheard by everyone in the area. .
The one who answered was unexpectedly the new arrivals. The Second Prince who is still carrying his sleeping fiance who is frowning in his sleep.
Christopher Klein von Imperlian said, “Because the Imperial Uncle had a close relationship with Student Yara. Student Yara was helping him cure his mania.”
General Nimbus and Titus were so shocked that they exclaimed unexpectedly of themselves.
Nimbus von Gretel questioned, “What did you say!?”
“Impossible! Xiao Ya’s mental Abilities are so strong that they hardly complement other people’s mental waves. Except for his family, he could hardly use them on others!” Titus von Chrysalis stated.
Then he spotted the young guy in the Second Prince’s arms and scowled as he realized his predicament. He shifts the subject of the talk because this is a family matter. They can continue when all of the persons involved are there.
“Hm. Your fiance’s state is not good. He is directly fighting with that thing inside his head but he is no match for it. If this continues his soul would be badly injured and he would be sickly.”
The Second prince panicked, “W-What should we do? Can you help Silvie? I’m begging you, please. Please save him!”
The General and Titus von Chrysalis exchanged glances as if they didn’t know what to do. Because they were Mediators, their qi would be perceived as a danger by the body if it entered someone’s head. That would just exacerbate the situation.
Just when they were about to give up, Dean Frey von Gregory stepped in and said, “I cannot remove it but I can protect Silvan von Rosegard’s soul.”
Indeed, if he had his original strength as a God, he can remove it. After all, the alien entity appears to be an Illegal System or a Nether Prison escapee. Yet in this realm, his talents as a warden were limited, and all he could do was confine it rather than catch it.
“Do you want me to do it? I’m saying this now. I can’t remove or the restrictions would only prevent whatever is inside from escaping and protecting the child’s soul.” Dean Frey von Gregory explained.
Everyone was taken aback as the Second Prince abruptly dropped his head towards the Dean. After all, this is a Royal Family youngster. Such activities could not be carried out simply because he felt like it. Yet this move demonstrates how much he loves Silvan von Rosegard in his arms. He is prepared to give up even his Royalty status in order to save him.
“Please save Silvie, Dean!”
“Okay. I will do my best.” 𝘦𝑎.𝒸ℴ
Dean Frey von Gregory used his qi to isolate the system in Silvan’s mind. This caught the system that was fighting with his host off guard.
[W-What… what? What the hell is this qi? How does it capture me!? Who the hell is it?! Let me out!]
Meanwhile, Silvan’s spirit is so exhausted that he falls asleep when he senses that the pressure on his soul has decreased and that the system in his mind has been taken by an unseen force. He felt a gentle qi wrap about him as if he were in someone’s hug. Warm and inviting. Once Frey von Gregory assists him in isolating the system in his mind, Silvan’s frown vanishes. This enabled his spirit to slumber soundly and repair itself.
Dean Frey von Gregory said, “He should be okay for now. But he still needs some sleep to heal. I suggest you ask a healer to help him. He will wake up on his own when he has rested enough.”
“Thank you, Dean. Thank you!” The Second Prince said.
RUMBLES~ Rumbles!
“What the hell is happening!?”
Titus von Chrysalis who turned pale at the disaster they were in and was about to run around in fear. “Ah! Earthquake!!!”
“Stop running around!” Megan Shelley grabbed the panicking Titus von Chrysalis who doesn’t fear heights but the shaking of earth.
“Urgh! I feel sick!”
Rumbles~ cracks~
The entire earth suddenly shook, almost trapping everyone inside. They were fortunate that the Headquarters’ foundations were designed to endure such a tremendous shaking of the earth. Fortunately, the other injured had departed Planet Terra and were on their way back to the Main Star with the other students and instructors. The only survivors on the Planet that is from the First Military Imperial Academy were Dean Frey, Megan Shelley, the Second Prince, Silvan von Rosegard, and Yara von Chrysalis. The remainder of the group was already on their way back.
General Nimbus commanded, “Get out of the building!!!”
Everyone raced out of the building as directed, stunned at the sight that awaited them beyond the horizon. As if all trees were linked by a single brain and were all part of the same thing, they all extended their roots and branches toward the sky. As the trees began to shift, the soil beneath them began to split, and that strange pressure that scared the hell out of them was coming from the south. Even the global temperature has decreased substantially.
The individuals who were observing the event expel white fog with their own breath. Only those who knew Yara’s power comprehended what was going on.
Titus von Chrysalis said, “Hah~ I told you he will be pissed.”
“Don’t be arrogant! Ride on your mecha and leave the land. These trees had lost their senses and started attacking anything on sight!” General Nimbus ordered.
Everyone had brought out their own mecha. Because they were all awakened warriors, the majority of them had their own mecha. Only Silvan von Rosegard, who was sleeping, was transported in his mecha by the second prince. They all flew and saw the land beneath them disintegrate, revealing innumerable tree roots of various sizes. It moved as though it had gone insane. Only then did everyone learn how many Sentient Trees exist on Earth.
“How can there be these many Sentient Beings on this Planet!?”
