“What are you doing here?” Felix frowned, putting down the cup. “Where’s Theon? Did he bring you here?”
“I missed you so much that I came to see you,” Nyx said, sitting close to him. “Aurelius agreed, and Theon is outside”
“Are you mad at me?” she glanced at Felix’s face.
Even though Nyx was wearing Adjutant’s face right now, Felix couldn’t bring himself to be angry with her.
He sighed helplessly, “Alright, you’ve seen me, so now go home. It’s dangerous here.
Honestly, it wasn’t that dangerous.
This was the imperial army’s base, not the front lines of the battlefield. Otherwise, Aurelius wouldn’t have let Nyx come here. But Felix still urged Nyx to go home quickly.
He thought that females should stay on the Advanced Planet; the conditions at military bases are tough and not suitable for females to stay for too long.
“I just got here; don’t rush me off,” Nyx said with a smile, wiggling a finger in front of Felix. “I’ll calm down the out–of–control soldiers first, and then head back.”
Since she was already here, she was definitely going to do something.
Nyx was very determWas
Felix couldn’t argue with her, so he nodded and agreed to arrange things for her.
The war had been ongoing for a while, and there were indeed many out–of–control soldiers. There weren’t enough resources to send them back, and the base didn’t have enough holding cells, so they had to temporarily group the out–of–control males by their species.
Onflicts often broke out.

Nyx’s help actually solved problem.
“You still haven’t answered my question,” Nyx pressed, “How did you know it was me?”
She was wearing the latest visual distortion device, so she should look like Adjutant to anyone. She was wondering what gave her away.
Felix pressed his lips together, his ears turning slightly red.
After a long pause, he confessed, “The smell. I could smell you.”
Nyx had a sweet scent. Though it was faint and subtle, to a male who loved her, it was incredibly alluring.
Lovers pick up on each other’s hormones and find each other’s scent irresistible.
Nyx coughed lightly. “Alright.”
“Did
you discuss dressing up like this with Will?” Felix asked, though he knew it was Nyx, he couldn’t shake the strange feeling of seeing Adjutant’s face.
Will was Adjutant’s name.
Nyx was calm and composed. “Yep, I wanted to surprise you.”
“So, how’s the surprise?”

Nyx was so eager. Felix didn’t dare to spoil the mood, so he reluctantly agreed, “A very big surprise.”
This worked out well. With Will as cover, Nyx’s movements wouldn’t be widely known, greatly improving her safety.
Thinking of security, Nyx stayed obediently in Felix’s office and didn’t wander outside.
Fortunately, Felix’s lounge was connected to his office, so it was very convenient.
Nyx didn’t need to go out; she could just rest in his lounge.

At midnight, the enemy attack alert suddenly blared.
Felix had just settled down, but he jumped up in a rush. He thought, ‘Has the enemy attacked the base?‘
He quickly opened a hidden door and shoved Nyx inside, urgently saying, “Stay here; don’t come out.”
For the enemy to break through the frontlines and attack here, the Koganor Federation had clearly invested a lot.
‘Why has they suddenly become so reckless? Could Nyx’s presence here have been leaked?‘ Felix frowned at the thought.
Behind the hidden door, there was a secure room with full surveillance equipment, where he could observe the outside battle.
Nyx didn’t understand the equipment much at first, but after practicing with mechs, she got the hang of it. Plus, being influenced by her male had made her more familiar with it.
After fiddling with it a bit, she tuned the equipment and saw the most intense area of the battlefield.
The Koganor Federation’s combat power didn’t seem as strong as she’d imagined. In just a few minutes, several starships had been shot down.
Soldiers tasked with cleaning up the battlefield rushed in and surrounded the fallen starships.
The hatches opened. It was like opening Pandora’s box.
At first, Nyx was confused when the first soldier lost control, but as she watched one soldier after another go berserk, she suddenly realized it was a conspiracy.
The Koganor Federation had used poison this way.
A huge amount of AeroMist spread throughout the imperial military base. Even though the soldiers wore gas masks, they couldn’t block it all.
If it were just a regular poison, Male Beastmen could still resist it to some extent thanks to their physique. But this AeroMist, specifically targeting Male Beastmen’s weaknesses, would cause endless trouble with even the slightest exposure.
Even if the dose was small and didn’t cause immediate loss of control, after this battle, the Imperial Army would inevitably have a large number of soldiers out of control, significantly reducing their combat ability.
Nyx nervously adjusted the equipment, scanning her surroundings.
The battlefield in the distance seemed relatively stable for now, with little effect from the AeroMist.
Just then, she watched in horror as a familiar Scarlet Python fell from the sky, clearly going into a frenzy.
Nyx’s face turned pale in shock, as she thought, ‘Jaws?‘

He was already struggling on the edge of losing control, barely maintaining his composure with the help of the drugs. The time spent on the battlefield had accelerated his Loss of Control Index.
The starship he was on had only been lightly contaminated, and the others seemed unaffected, at least for now. But he could no longer handle it and lost control, flying out of the starship.
Even an SS–level male with a strong physique would certainly die from such a fall to the ground.
Among his subordinates, Kian reacted the fastest and immediately went after him, but the out–of–control giant serpent mistook him for an enemy.
The giant serpent tightly coiled around the mech, the hard metal making a horrendous screeching sound as it was torn
apart.
Kian dared not force the mech to break free, fearing they would both be destroyed.
Seeing this, the general of the Koganor Federation couldn’t help but laugh, patting Edmund on the shoulder and praising him, “Good job. I couldn’t have done it without you.”
There was actually a mocking look in his eyes. He thought, ‘With such a useful thing, why didn’t he use it sooner? It seems that Edmund has big ambitions, unwilling to be controlled by the Koganor Federation, and unwilling to remain a mere puppet.‘
Edmund’s expression was far from pleasant.
The effect of AeroMist was just too effective. In the hands of the Koganor Federation, it would undoubtedly bring disaster to
the entire Beastmen race.
The Imperial Army had made several precautions, but they still couldn’t fully resist the interference of the AeroMist. Seeing the current state of the Imperial Army, Edmund felt like he was seeing his own future, his emotions complex.
But when his gaze fell on the monitoring screen and he saw the doomed giant serpent, he once again felt that his choice had been the right one.
No matter what happens later, at least for now, he was sure to win.
A small, agile mech suddenly appeared, rushing up to Jaws in midair and grabbing him.
Edmund squinted, thinking it was another soldier attempting a rescue, and sneered, thinking, ‘What’s the use? It’s just sending one more life to die.
