“Hmm, this guy seems to be in a daze.”
Looking at his face, Xia Jin couldn't help but wonder if she was currently using a beauty trap.
With a body modified by the Zerg and dressed so adorably, any guy with normal orientations and tastes would definitely feel their heart skip a beat.
She would just have to see if this legion commander's willpower was strong enough.
As she was thinking this, Legion Commander Mir immediately dropped to one knee: “Princess.”
“So, Mir, I’ve given you the opportunity. I am now the Overlord of the Swarm. Don't be fooled by their terrifying appearance; they are actually very kind hearted.”
Xia Jin spoke with a straight face, without missing a beat.
Mir’s heart was in extreme turmoil.
Reason told him that his duty as a soldier was to stand with the kingdom.
However, the Princess was right there before him. That one distant glimpse of her ethereal beauty when she was younger had been so breathtaking that he had never been able to forget it to this day.
Seeing the girl personally invite him now made him feel as if he were in a dream.
Indeed, they were all people of the kingdom. What was the difference between serving the Princess and serving the King?
With such powerful monsters, if she were willing to take back the capital for herself, and if he, as her subject, could serve this perfect girl up close...
Though there was some wishful thinking involved, the stirring of his heart from the past ultimately defeated his reason.
“Princess, I am willing to serve you.”
“Good. I knew I wasn't wrong about you.”
A faint smile appeared on the girl’s face.
Yet, for some reason, Mir felt a pang of heartache.
The Princess of the past had been high and mighty, the sole heir to the kingdom.
But now, this girl was in this remote northern territory, forced to go to war with her former family just to return to the home that rightfully belonged to her.
...
Xia Jin persuaded the man to undergo transformation.
Of course, to prevent any resistance, an infestor gave him a shot beforehand.
A mere Tier 6 infestor couldn't completely control a Tier 8 powerhouse, but it could at least make him temporarily lose the ability to resist.
Once the transformation was complete, Xia Jin discovered that a new presence had appeared in the Swarm network—one that was in love with her.
“Damn.”
This guy is lusting after me.
“I’d better just send him out as cannon fodder to fight.”
Xia Jin scanned his mind and found that he had been secretly crushing on her for many years.
Back then, when she was the Princess, she was only eight years old.
“God, that’s crossing the line.”
Of course, he was simply attracted by her pure charm; his mind hadn't conjured up anything filthy.
Yes, at least it wasn't filthy back then.
But now, when this guy looked at her, there was a tiny hint of impurity.
“I need to find a way to have this guy take the group that surrendered with him and go back to fight the kingdom’s own troops.”
The surrender of a legion commander would be a massive blow to the morale of the kingdom's officials.
Moreover, the kingdom still wasn't entirely sure about the origins of the Zerg.
Having a guy who liked her appearing in the Swarm... although it seemed okay, she was a girl now, and it was quite uncomfortable.
Even having the insects thinking random things about her in their heads would be better than this guy.
While she was thinking, Xia Jin noticed a nearby zergling suddenly getting excited.
“Scram!”
Xia Jin kicked it away, causing the creature to lower its head dejectedly.
It gave off a strong sense of “It’s only because the Queen is too cute.”
With the legion commander’s surrender, the battle had ended.
In truth, not many soldiers of the Kingdom Army surrendered in the end.
This was a unit with high morale. Out of over twenty thousand men plus several thousand logistics troops, only about 3,000 eventually gave up their resistance, and most of them were from the logistics unit.
Within the mage unit, the last dozen or so people surrendered after seeing that resistance was futile and learning that their opponent's leader was actually Xia Jin.
The Queen’s personal charm had produced a significant effect.
In this battle, the Swarm lost 35,000 main units, which was more than the number of enemies killed.
“I’ll leave the rest of the fighting to the brain bugs.”
Xia Jin felt that the brain bugs should be able to gain a lot of experience from this.
Furthermore, capturing Legion Commander Mir would be of great use.
...
After the 12th Legion was destroyed, the entire Kingdom Army was shaken.
At the final moment, the messenger who received the magical communication looked at the document in his hand with trembling hands and muttered, “How is this possible?”
A main legion had been surrounded and annihilated; their breakout attempt had completely failed.
The legion commander was missing, and not a single soldier had successfully escaped.
Clutching the document, the messenger ran quickly through the palace.
He passed by a room.
“Sir, why are you running in such a hurry?” a girl dressed as a head maid suddenly asked.
Seeing her, the soldier immediately stopped and cleared his throat. “Miss Wei Ya, it’s nothing. I just received a battle report from the front, and I must inform His Majesty the King.”
“Oh?” The head maid’s eyes flashed. “Did something bad happen?”
“It’s a huge problem. The 12th Legion was completely wiped out by the enemy. Furthermore, news has surfaced everywhere that the enemy this time is actually the Princess.”
“What?” Wei Ya’s heart trembled. “Princess Xia Jin?”
“Yes. Isn't that ridiculous?”
“It is a bit ridiculous.”
