A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 308 The Death of the Rat King Was Too Natural

The Prinkian woman named Nasulin is dead, just as Lu Shang said, she died in an accident caused by operational error.

As the Rat King who built a vast power on Macor through her own abilities, Nassullin's talent is undeniable. She even quietly created a private fleet that belonged only to her.

However, she didn't have much influence in the military, mainly because she wasn't very willing to get involved with the military in the first place, as that would make some things very complicated, such as the formation of a private fleet.

No high-ranking official in the military would accept a private armed fleet operating outside the military system, even if that fleet is far smaller than a military fleet with a scale of trillions.

The Pulinka civilization has a unified political system and a unified military. In fact, the military manages the entire Pulinka civilization's space fleet.

You can form a private legion, but not a private fleet. From the military's perspective, this constitutes a decentralization, taking away their power to manage all military ships throughout the entire Pulinka civilization.

Once discovered, it should be eliminated immediately. On a grand scale, this is to prevent the mother civilization from splitting apart; on a smaller scale, it is to eliminate a force that attempts to undermine the military's monopoly on military power.

However, in order to bring down the two powerful families of Nasu and Fuwa on Mikkel, Nasuling decided to take the risk of finding a strong and powerful military backer.

As long as she ensures that her military backer is unaware of the secrets of her independent business association, then it is a safe and exploitable advantage.

Even if things were to be exposed in the end, Nasuling could still escape to an unknown region of the universe.

It is wartime now, and the military's main forces are fighting against other civilizations. If she really wanted to escape, the military simply didn't have enough power to stop her.

In order to find a powerful backer in the military as soon as possible, Nasuling performed exceptionally well in all subjects as soon as she entered the academy. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, which was considered exceptional among the Plinka people, she immediately became the most eye-catching person in the academy.

In contrast, Lu Shang, the student who was recommended for admission, performed rather unremarkable and kept a low profile, maintaining an above-average level in all subjects.

Seeing that the fourth young master of the Fuwa family, who was her thorn in the side, only achieved an above-average level in various subjects, Nasu Ling was naturally extremely proud. Not long after that, she came into contact with some military families.

Firstly, because of her talent, and secondly, because of her beauty, so much so that the Prinkians from military families all flocked to Nasuling like wolves eyeing a piece of meat.

Just as Nasu Ling was feeling triumphant and thinking about which military family to choose as the backer of her independent business association, she suddenly slipped during a mecha landing exercise and... died.

It happened quite suddenly, in full view of everyone.

Nasu Ling's mecha was preparing to land. She originally planned to show off her extreme landing skills, only activating the deceleration propulsion at the last moment to land perfectly on the landing platform and become the center of attention in the academy. However, she suddenly slipped, causing the deceleration propulsion to be activated a few seconds late. The entire mecha crashed headfirst into the landing platform of the academy's space base and was smashed to pieces. As for Nasu Ling, the pilot inside, she was naturally not alive, and not even a complete body could be found.

That day was a sad one for the male students of the Prinkia Academy. Their beloved campus belle, whom they adored, suddenly passed away, resulting in a forced collective heartbreak.

When Lu Shang learned of this news, he had no reaction. In the end, all of this was the result of his instructions, and the other party was now a dead man.

When he was still alive, Lu Shang didn't care, but after he died, he became even less inclined to pay attention.

In the weeks following Nasuling's death, two high-ranking military figures from the General Command arrived at the Academy, just as Lu Shang had anticipated, because of his presence.

The General Headquarters is the central hub for military decision-making in the Pulinka civilization. As long as Lu Shang can make contact with and influence this hub, he can achieve his goals without necessarily climbing to the position of Commander-in-Chief.

Therefore, after entering the academy, Lu Shang's performance became mediocre. The reason was that he did not want to get too entangled with those military families. There were conflicts of interest among the various military families, and getting involved would be very troublesome to deal with. After all, the Beehive side could not be exposed too obviously.

While a certain Rat King, who was already dead, was still gloating over his favor with various military families and his superior military talent compared to the fourth son of the Fuwa family, little did he know that these things were nothing but trouble in the eyes of the other party, a pile of things that not only did not help him but also hindered his normal work, and he did not want to deal with them at all.

Lu Shang was summoned to the office of the dean of an academy, but the person sitting in the main seat was not the dean, but two soldiers in military uniforms.

At the soldier's signal, Lu Shang sat down in the chair opposite them.

Seeing Lu Shang sit down, the soldier to his left picked up a file from the table and asked as he looked at it, "You're Fuwahu?"

Lu Shang asked in confusion, "You specifically called me here, but you don't know who I am?"

"No, you misunderstand. He just didn't expect you to be so young," the soldier on the right said, trying to smooth things over.

Holding a file containing information about me, then pretending to be learning about me for the first time?

Are you interrogating me?

Lu Shang was puzzled, somewhat confused about the intentions of the two soldiers who had come from headquarters, so he tentatively asked, "Sirs, why did you call me here?"

"We just want to get some information from you," the soldier on the right replied.

At this moment, the soldier on the left, who was looking at the Fuwahu file, said, "Last week on the home planet, headquarters received an email. The sender was listed as Fuwahu. I'd like to know, did you really send that email?"

"Email? Oh, I sent that email." Lu Shang was taken aback at first, then replied as if he had just remembered something.

The soldier on the left suddenly asked sternly, "Who told you to send the email to headquarters? How do you have the headquarters' email coordinates?"

"..."

Lu Shang fell silent, and the room fell silent for a moment.

Seeing this, the soldier on the right immediately pressed, "Why aren't you answering our questions? What are you trying to hide from us?"

The two soldiers' gazes were fixed on Lu Shang's body, that of a Plinka, as if they wanted to see right through him!

However, if they could actually see through it, they would probably see a human laughing gleefully, and behind him a swarm of bizarre bee-like creatures.

The two soldiers had no idea that their presence and their questions were part of another civilization's plan!
