A Guide to Raising Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 113

Chapter 113

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.
