Patrick, Malcolm, and Taron discussed briefly accepting the surrender of the Zerg, sending troops to the ground of the Zerg planet, and avoiding the counterattack from them. Almost an hour passed after the discussion. After they walked out of the meeting room, the communication officer in the commanding center ran to them,” Commander, the President requested to talk to you. The messenger of the Zerg Queen wants to meet you alone, and this is the preliminary report about the damage of our warships.” Patrick only took the report and said, “let them wait.” Then he marched away. Taron was a little surprised, “what does the Admiral hurry to do?” Malcolm just smiled, “Marshall, he is going to meet his wife.”In the Armand space fortress of Malcolm, Emerald had already taken off the uniform, which was covered by blood and dust, and changed into a pilot vest and a pair of camouflage pants. She stood on the deck and leaned on a row of tool stands since her feet were still wounded. She was calm now. After taking Malcolm’s plane, she first let Malcolm send people to pick up Rosalind and others in the stone belt, told the fortress’s vice chief about the labor camp on the ground, and then went to the pilot restroom to change into clean clothes and even washed. She knew that Patrick must be very busy now, and maybe he wouldn’t have time to see her until night. However, she was not in a hurry because she knew the war was more important, and she just stayed there to wait for Rosalind. The Cheetahs and the Snowbergs landed on the deck one by one, and the pilots all jumped out of the fighters in excitement. “Hey, did you see that stone array? They just surrounded the Zerg space fortresses and made them unable to move!”“That must be the secret weapon of the Commander!” Another one answered, “Long live the Commander!” “I saw a person on our side sit on one stone. I don’t know who that is. That’s really mysterious.” “That seems to be a woman, but I couldn’t see clearly since the distance was too long.” They passed Emerald, talking and laughing. Emerald saw several familiar people jump out of a Cheetah, and she immediately waved to them. “Lieutenant!” Rosalind seemed to be very excited and nervous and rushed to her, “It’s so great! We were really worried about you! How did you do it?” All the others crowded around them, and others also supported Henry, smiling, “You are really good. Who on earth sent you here?” Emerald just shrugged and said with a smile, “I used to come to the stone belt a lot. I think maybe that stone man has consciousness and a spirit. Maybe it is a kind of species that we don’t know yet...” While she was talking, the people in front of her seemed very surprised, and Henry was smiling weirdly. Before she turned around, someone held her forcibly by her waist, and then she was suddenly lifted up and put down on a wide, warm shoulder. After being nervous for a few seconds, she immediately recognized that familiar tactility and smell, and she felt that her heart was racing. That man didn’t wear a coat, and he just wore an ordinary mercenary shirt. He simply nodded to others, patted on Henry’s order, and then went back carrying her on his shoulder. Someone around them recognized him and was very excited, while others didn’t recognize him and thought he was just an ordinary soldier and smiled kindly and admiringly to him. He ignored all these people and strode to a Cheetah. “Man, be gentle!” Henry said with a sportive voice, “she’s got wounds all over her body.”His hands are on her waist were suddenly loose, but he walked faster. “Put me down!” She suddenly grabbed his shirt. “I’ll never let you go.” He said with a smile. Then he sat in the pilot’s seat, put her between his legs, circling her inside his arms, and launched the Cheetah. **** Stars outside the cabinet were like tiny jades, decorating the space, making the white cabinet wall more tranquil and peaceful. Queen Veronica stood beside the window and let out a deep sigh. “Williams, you should be really happy now.” She smiled, “I lost. This is God’s will. I cannot believe that I finally lost to the stone arrays.” Zach did not say a word, but his fingers were clenched.“You did not see that Emerald Wilson was sitting on the stone array.” She mocked herself, “She was sitting high above, like a princess favored by God, while I am a loser, who lets down my citizens. I...was disrespected by the royalty from my childhood for my foreign blood; I took pains to take the throne, but the Zerg encountered harsher and harsher climates. To expand the Zerg’s living space, I’ve prepared for ten years to start the war, but I lost at the last minute, I...” “Enough.” Zach interrupted her suddenly. He looked up to her, and his face was filled with wretchedness in the white bandages, “Veronica, you will lose the war even without the stone circle. Patrick’s reinforcement troops have arrived; your force cannot escape at all. The current situation is actually more favorable to the Zerg.” Anger surfaced on Veronica’s face. She stared at Zach for a moment but turned around in the end. “Someone will pick you up later.” She said, “They asked us to return all human captives, especially you.” Zach felt a little uneasy, “what about you?” “They didn’t dare to do anything to the Queen of the Zerg.” Veronica’s face was cold, “And I’m not afraid of death either---my death will only encourage the Zergs to fight, and the humans should face the desperate war of Zergs if I am not in this world anymore.” “Are you crying?” Zach’s voice lowered. Veronica’s eyes were wet, but she tried to refrain herself. When he suddenly worried about her, her tears rolled down immediately. “Skip this nonsense.” She said strictly, “I admit that I’m not lucky. You can go now.” But Zach seemed to be ignited by her words and said coldly, “Veronica, do you really attribute all these to luck? Must you crucify yourself on the throne?” Veronica’s body trembled. Her dark eyes were glittered with purple light, “How dare you!” Zach stood up immediately and walked to her. Although he couldn’t see anything, he grabbed her face just with his hands reaching out to her. She pushed him away painfully, which made him almost fall. She went forward to hold him up. Although Zach could not see, he pressed her onto the cabinet wall.
