Chapter 2256: 25.146 Lone Black Star - Back to Camp

As everyone at the camp was looking after the big cocoon in the middle of their territory, there was news that someone had attacked the main territory where the Zerg race on the Empire Star reside. This news was spread by the surviving humans who had escaped from the Zerg Ant Hill where they were imprisoned and treated as livestock that the insect race could kill and eat anytime. What made it worse was that the Ant Race liked to use them as healing medicines. With the devouring ability of the insect race, eating something that is full of life can help regenerate their missing limbs or heal their wounds. For the zerg race, humans were the most nutritious and delectable.

However, the ones that attacked them despite being humans were divinities with Immortal Laws on them. A high tier law that was beyond this world, this cosmos. Something that had come from beyond the norms they are used to. They are under the control and protection of an immortal so even though the Zerg Race had mutated thanks to the help of an Fallen Ancient God, it still cannot be compared to what was given by an Immortal God to Ye Caoyun and Ye Qinya. Though theirs is more of a force buy and sell where they had no choice but to follow orders while wielding the powers they have.

At the camp, those from the intelligence division whose task was to keep track of all the changes in the Empire Star, had suddenly come running to report to the Lieutenant, the temporary commander in the camp while the royal family members were currently not present.

"Lieutenant! Latest news!"

"What is it this time?"

"Someone had attacked Ant Hill and it was said that half of it was destroyed!"

"Who was so awesome that he did that?!"

"According to the news the ones who destroyed it were only two people!"

"Did you learn who it was?"

"No! No one had recognized them but according to those who had seen them, it seems that they were human yet not at the same time."

"What do you mean by that!?"

"According to the witnesses, they were under someone’s control. They do not look like they are in control."

"Who would be able to control two powerful beings that fight against a whole zerg tribe like that?"

"That’s the scary thing!"

Seeing the soldiers gathering talking about something depressing, the lieutenant didn’t like seeing them like this meant that the atmosphere in the camp would get worse. He can only change the subject and kick them all out making sure that no one is allowed to talk about this topic anymore or they would be punished.

The Lieutenant said, "Have you guys gossip enough? It’s not like you are aunts at the market, what are you whispering about? You are forbidden to talk about this topic any longer. If I heard a hint about this subject, your daily training would be tripled!"

"TRIPLED!?"

"NO!!"

"Since you don’t want that then stop talking about it! If you have nothing to report, return to our original positions!" The Lieutenant commanded.

All the soldiers in the tent saluted before running out of the tent. No one wanted to have that tripled training as going through training three times would lead them to missing their lunch and that is not someone wanted to miss. The cooking in their military cafeteria is one of the best after all. Moreover, they all wanted to visit the big cocoon at the center of the camp to check on their mascot’s situation. However, aside from stable heartbeats and wiggling from time to time, the cocoon remained as it is.

Then suddenly one afternoon the spaceship of the Crown Prince had finally returned to the camp. The soldiers were all delighted by such good news and they were all cheering for the return of this group. Not only this ship carries back their surviving Imperial Emperor and Imperial Empress, the Grand Duke and his Duchess had also returned safely. Everything was good except for the fact that their crown prince and crown princess hadn’t returned yet.

The current situation of the Imperial Emperor hasn’t returned to its peak state. He can only remain bedridden until the duchess completely heals and undergo a treatment that will restore his body slowly. There is also the second prince, a newly born baby that would require a lot of things for his growth. It’s been a while since the people in this camp had seen a baby. In an instant, the baby second princess becomes the most favorite one in the camp after the sentient anteater who is still undergoing evolution.

On the second day the royal family had returned to the camp, the grand duke would daily ask the information department about any possible news about their missing crown prince and crown princess. Lord Ye Jie had come to the tent of the division that gathers intelligence.

The grand duke asked, "Have you found any news about them?"

"Answering to the great general! There is still no news of the crown prince and the crown princess!" A soldier from the intelligence division answered.

Upon hearing his response, the grand duke realized that something must have happened to Ye Caoyun and Ye Qinya after they had separated. They were either captured by the Zerg race or something else happened that made them unable to return to the camp before them.

Sigh~

"Please continue to find any of their traces," the grand duke said.

The soldiers all agreed to this request. Actually even without the command of the grand duke, the whole division had already decided to find the two missing highness not only because that couple was the strongest in their group, but also because they wanted them to be safe.

"Please leave it to us! We will do our best to find them!" The intelligence division said.

The grand duke asked, "By the way, the last time you’ve seen the ancestors is on the day they had brought back the little one outside didn’t they?"

"Yes, but we weren’t the one the ancestors had met last. It was the soldier chef who is also the caretaker of Qiuqiu who had last met the ancestors," a soldier explained to the Grand Duke.

Lord Ye Jie said, "I would like to meet this chef."

"Then I will have someone to call him for his highness!" The Lieutenant said as he gestured to a soldier to call the person.

Not long after the Soldier Chef had come together with the soldier who had left just now to pick him up. As soon as the soldier chef saw Lord Ye Jie he immediately saluted him. After all, the person before him was an ordinary person but not only one of the generals of the military but also the younger brother of the current emperor. He has a noble identity and aloof position in the military. Soldiers like him that can only remain in the barrack’s kitchen seeing the Grand Duke was a shocking experience for him, an ordinary soldier.

"This soldier greets the great general!" The soldier chef saluted.

The Grand Duke said, "There is no need to be nervous. I didn’t think of anything else when requesting you. I would like to ask a few things if you don’t mind. For now, have a seat." After taking a seat on the opposite side, the Soldier Chef was nervously fidgeting.

"I would just like to ask about the ancestors whom you had met. What did they say when they passed the little one to your side?" asked Lord Ye Jie.

The soldier chef said, "Answering to the grand duke, the ancestors said they will not be back for a while. They didn’t say where they were going but it most likely had something to do with the chains that appeared on their bodies whenever they appeared in the Empire Star. They said these chains prevent them from using their full ability and using it would have bad effects on the world. They were saying something like the world seems to be rejecting them for being overly powerful. That is what the little one had said before."

Everyone couldn’t help but glance at the huge cocoon not too far from them. They realized that if there is someone else who might know what is happening with their ancestor can only be answered by the beast king of their camp. It’s just that the little guy was busy evolving so that it might take a while before the little one comes out of his cocoon.

Sigh~

"I had a lot of things to ask my ancestors. Since there is no way to contact them, then the only choice was to go through things." The Grand Duke said. "Pass me a copy of all reports about the information which regards supernatural events."

"Yes, Sir!" The soldiers collectively responded.

While he and the others resumed their daily routine, only the grand duke checked all the reports about the supernatural events that happened on the Empire star and the result was quite astonishing as well. Something they had never noticed before is now being noticed by them.
