I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot-Chapter 1123: 17.50 Fourth Violet Star - Night Invasion

One silent evening...

The Imperium Star's citizens were all able to have a good night's sleep in their own homes because the night was so quiet. A few days have passed since the Planet Terra's Incident. The Crown Prince abruptly lost communication with the Royal Family when he traveled to Planet Terra. The Nova Clan members wanted to send assistance, but the Queen Mother stopped them all.

Even Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian was surprised by her choice; he had not anticipated it. Because Cain Nova von Imperlian was the Queen Mother's prized possession, her unexpected lack of concern for her son made her clan members uneased. She was exceptionally harsh and unconcerned about her son's life or death. In order to save the Crown Prince, the plan to send troops was postponed.

At the youngest prince's place, in the First Military Imperial School...

Concerned for his friend, Yara von Chrysalis, who had been left behind on Planet Terra, was Jace Green von Imperlian. He was aware that Yara had to have stayed behind to defend the stars from the Zergs. He had no idea how resilient his friend was, but he had the impression that he wouldn't have too much trouble. At least he thinks a man who can command many S-ranked and higher Sentient Beings would not have any trouble eliminating a small nest of Zergs, even if it were led by a Royal Pair Zerg.

He was accompanied by his other three subordinates after being warned not to go back to the Imperial Main Palace because of the threat posed by parasitic zergs. There are teachers to defend the children in case of emergency, and at least the entire Academy was protected by a formation.

The youngest prince has a sad look on his face as he surveys the landscape outside the window. After passing out without even saying goodbye to his friend, who was cut off from them as a result of that tragedy, he had always been depressed.

Once they were split up, one of his minions who had been present during that incident on Planet Terra eventually learned where Yara von Chrysalis was.

"Your Highness, we found where Lord Yara is right now. He is safe and the Grand Marshal is with him. The Zergs on Planet Terra had all been killed but according to the report it was the Grand Marshal who did it."

"Did you believe that it was the Imperial Uncle who killed those Zergs?" Jace Green asked his three close subordinates who were with him at that event.

"No." All three of them answered at the same time.

They have seen the true power of Lord Yara von Chrysalis and seen the servility displayed by those strong Sentient Beings that can even turn human thanks to their friendship with the youngest prince. A Zerg King will be deemed completed if a Zerg Queen is not yet born. Both support and troops to lead will be absent. There wouldn't be enough power to combat someone like Yara, who is adored by nature, with the few soldiers under their command.

Planet Terra also has a lot of greenery, and having someone with that star's blessing and the capacity to plant something there is their biggest benefit. The Grand Marshal was obviously late, as there were no longer any adversaries. That day, Yara was the one who eliminated every Zerg.

Jace Green von Imperlian said, "The news was obviously altered to protect Yara. This must be the doing of the Imperial Uncle. So did you find out where they went instead of going back here?"

"Yes, according to the information gathered. It seems that after the Zergs were cleaned up, the Grand Marshal sent Lord Yara home. They are currently at the edge star owned by the Chrysalis Clan."

"That means they would be there for the whole vacation. Sigh~ then there's nothing we can do now. The coordinates of one's own home cannot be found unless the owner personally gave it to you. We can only wait for Yara to return to school. I can't go to the palace and can't leave Imperium without permission. How boring~" mumbled Jace Green von Imperlian.

Rumbles~ rumble. Rumbles~

Suddenly the whole land shakes and rumbles. It wasn't a powerful earthquake but the land was shaking for too long that it made others wonder what was happening.

Jace Green von Imperlian exclaims, "What the hell is happening? Earthquake?"

"Your Highness we need to go out of the building for safety!"

"Let's go, I will secure the exit."

"Your Highness, come this way, please!"

All residents of Imperium Star fled their homes as soon as they sensed the protracted earthquake. Even if the foundation of a house today is sturdy considering how long the ground has been moving, it wouldn't be unexpected for the foundation to give way under such ground movement. The whole sight was alarming because there was some cracks on the ground and the road.

The First Military Imperial School teachers were gathering the students to transport them to safety as Jace Green von Imperlian and his subordinates arrived. They desired to transport all of them to a secure location. Due to the tragedy, there are only a few kids remaining at the academy, but there are still a hundred or more students who decide to stay there.

A teacher was shouting at the wide road, "Students, Gather here. Stop running everywhere, it's dangerous!"

"Has anyone checked all the dormitories? Don't miss a student. We need to bring them all away!"

"Teacher Xun was checking it right now. Most students should be here now."

"Just what is wrong with this earthquake? How come it continues to come as it's endless? If this continues, the foundations of the formation around the school will be destroyed and the barrier will be gone."

"I hope this is only an earthquake. I have a bad feeling about this. Tell the students to carry a weapon out. We are moving as soon as the rest are here!"

Cries can be heard suddenly coming from the students who were with them. Evidently, based on the tone of their voices, astonishment and incredulity are present. The teacher's eyes were drawn to the students' direction of gaze, which was upward, and they turned their attention to that area.

A student exclaims, "Teacher! Look at the barrier of the school. There's a crack on it!"

"What we feared had happened. Where should we go now? Run out of the school?"

"No. NO! Don't go out! Don't go out!" A teacher with Clairvoyance Skills started trembling all of a sudden as he looked in the direction of the school gates. "It's dangerous outside. So many bugs. Ants. No! So many Zergs! We cannot go that way!"

He employed his expertise to scan the area beyond the school's gates and barrier, where he discovered some school security personnel being devoured alive by a massive swarm of Black Ant Zergs. There were too many people on the road, and they were all large enough to devour an alive person. Even though each ant is just at the E-ranked level of the monster, their numbers are too numerous to count.

What they heard surprised everyone. Zerg in the Capital indicated that Imperium Star was being attacked. Additionally, they had excellent timing, and the majority of people living in the Imperium Star were taken off guard.

"Zergs? Ant Zergs Invasion! How come they were able to enter the mainland without the. Military noticed it!!!"

"Don't shout! We need to run away! We have to protect the students!"

"Where should we go? Once the barrier breaks they would swarm inside the academy and... and..."

"Shut up! Don't just give up like that. Protect the students! Since it's an Ant Zerg Invasion the underground tunnels cannot be used. Those areas must be full of them. Tch! No wonder the land is shaking. This is not an earthquake but them running in towards the capital in numbers!"

"T-Teacher. We can't contact anyone outside. The signal is jammed. What should we do? Where should we go? I'm scared. Teacher, I don't want to die!"

"Where can we run in this place? The road must be full of these Ant Zergs. Are we going to die here?"

"Enough! Who told you we are going to die?! I know a place where we can be protected!"

Jace Green von Imperlian finally lost his temper and yelled at the terrified students who had given up trying to fight. Even after trying their best to persuade them, the professors found it difficult because they themselves were unsure of what to do. Zergs are everywhere on the road, even in the tunnels below the surface. The sky is the only way to travel, but would the Zergs ignore such a clear flaw? There must be Zergs that can fly that are even more powerful. They genuinely had no idea of a hiding place.

The only thing keeping them alive turns out to be the words of the youngest prince. He is about to talk, and every instructor and student are waiting.

A teacher asked, "Your Highness, do you truly know a place that can keep us safe until the military arrives? Where is it?"

"Teachers knew where it was as well. It's that Greenhouse that Yara used to tend to." Jace Green von Imperlian said.

Yet the teachers all scowled when he stated it. They were aware of the life forms that inhabited that greenhouse. There are creatures there that are much more powerful than they are. They were unsure about those Sentient Beings' willingness to defend them as well.

"We also know about that but... would they be willing to protect us, humans? Those lords are Sentient Beings of S-ranked and above, I don't think they would be willing to save us."

"They will. I mean Yara told me the real reason they stay in the school. He planted them there to protect the school in case something happens when he is not around. But even so, we might need to do something in exchange for their protection. Like helping them water, trim leaves and kill termites. I at least know how to do it. We've watched Yara do it multiple times." Jace Green von Imperlian said.

"As long as they are willing to protect us, we can help plant, water, and dig soil!" The students declared.

They all believed they would be able to survive, therefore their eyes were filled with hope.

If they can escape, nobody wants to die. But an unexpected event occurred; as they were conversing, they heard sounds of something shattering, and the configuration that was protecting the school eventually dispersed. The instructors and students immediately froze when they saw this.

"AHHH! BARRIER BROKES!!"

"Run towards the Greenhouse!"

"Don't look back! We will block them for you. Run! Hurry!!!"

To defend the students, some of the instructors decided to block the Zergs and were willing to die in the process. Swarms of Ant Zergs flooded the academy grounds and were all moving toward where the humans were. The youngest prince and his followers begged while knelt before them as they entered the Greenhouse under the leadership of Jace Green von Imperlian. Everyone joined them in kneeling as they did so.

Jace Green von Imperlian said, "We plead with all the seniors in the area to please save us. The barrier around the school had been broken and the whole capital was under the attack of the Zergs. We are helpless and can only ask the Seniors for help. We beg you to please help us."

"Please help us. We are willing to do anything!"

"Wuwuwu~ teachers had sacrificed their lives for us. We don't want their sacrifice to be wasted. We are willing to do anything. Anything!"

"We beg you please save us. No matter who you are, if you can hear our voice, I hope you save us."

Children's cries resound throughout the entire Greenhouse, yet nothing in the garden seems to be in response. The students believed they were abandoned and could feel a swarm of ants pursuing them. Fear filled their eyes, and the only solace they could find was in each other's arms. Only one of them, Jace Green von Imperlian, the youngest prince of the Imperlian Royal Family, heroically fought to survive.

Jace Green von Imperlian declared, "If I'm going to die in the end then I will die standing and trying!"

Other students got up and took up their weapons after observing this scene. Instead of pleading for help, they intended to attempt battling all the way to the end. They smiled at their friends and classmates for the first time as their fear of dying subsided.They only had to perish in the process of surviving since they would ultimately perish.

Huge tree branches pulled everyone back collectively just as the children and the few teachers were preparing to emerge from the greenhouse once more to fight for their lives. Eventually, particularly around the biggest Pine Tree in the garden, a voice of an elderly man may be heard coming from the greenhouse.

{How longeth art thee guys going to turneth a blindeth eye on this? If 't be true these children all kicketh the bucket and the king learn'd about t, t wast us who is't shall beest did punish. Waketh up, th're is nay needeth to protecteth the whole capital, just this academy shall suffice.}

Translation: [How long are you guys going to turn a blind eye to this? If these children all die and the King learns about it, it is we who will be punished. Wake up, there is no need to protect the whole capital, just this Academy will suffice.]
