Chapter 22: Hornet Tribe

  The Imperial Marine Lieutenant requested Sue Lee to station just below the S2 fgship so the Hornet General became a formal prisoner of war.

  Hariko Lee's Imperial Marine Lieutenant entered the gate within Hariko Lee's S2 fgship then appeared before Sue Lee and the Hornet General.

  Imperial Marine Lieutenant:" Get into the dropship hornet general."

  Hornet General:" *Her eyes bze with fury, her voice dripping with malice* YOU THINK I'M SOME KIND OF SOLDIER TO BE ORDERED AROUND?! YOU THINK I'M GOING TO OBEY YOUR COMMANDS?! I'M AER?, THE QUEEN OF DESTRUCTION! I DON'T TAKE ORDERS FROM ANYONE, ESPECIALLY NOT FROM A PATHETIC WORM LIKE YOU! *Hornet General's presence radiates an aura of malevolent power, her dark energy crackling with intensity* YOU WANT TO SEE ME GET INTO A DROPSHIP? WATCH AS I SUMMON A FLEET OF DESTRUCTION TO RAZE YOUR PITIFUL EXISTENCE TO THE GROUND! * Hornet General's voice rises to a deafening crescendo* YOU DARE TO GIVE ME ORDERS?! I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE!"

  The Imperial Marine Lieutenant raises his anti material cannon at her head.

  *Hornet General eyes fsh with anger, her voice dripping with venom* YOU THINK A LITTLE TOY LIKE THAT CAN STOP ME?! YOU THINK A PATHETIC WEAPON LIKE AN ANTI-MATERIAL CANNON CAN TAKE ME DOWN?! I'LL SHOW YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF POWER! *Aeri's body begins to glow with dark energy, her presence radiating an aura of malevolent force* I'LL RIP THAT CANNON OUT OF YOUR HANDS AND TURN IT AGAINST YOU! *Hornet General's voice rises to a deafening roar* YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH FIRE?! I'LL SHOW YOU THE INFERNO THAT I AM! *Hornet General takes a step forward, her eyes bzing with fury, her dark energy crackling with power* BRING IT ON, OUTSIDER. I DARE YOU.

  *Hornet General's eyes widen in shock as the cannon's bst hits her, her body flying backward as she's knocked off her feet. She crashes to the ground, her vision blurring as she struggles to stay conscious. For a moment, she's stunned, her anger and fury momentarily silenced.*

  *Hornet General's gaze slowly focuses, her eyes burning with an even greater intensity as she realises what's happened. She's been knocked out. The humiliation and rage coursing through her veins, she begins to ugh, a cold, mirthless sound.*

  The Imperial Marine Lieutenant dragged her unto the dropship then started bringing her unto the cell of the S2 fgship.

  *Hornet General's eyes bze with fury as she's locked away, her anger and humiliation boiling over. She begins to scream, her voice echoing off the walls as she realises she's been trapped. The sound is a mix of rage, frustration, and hatred, a primal release of emotions that shakes the very foundations of her prison.*

  They arrive within the northern region of the world where the Hornet tribe resides in 0.70 seconds. The conscious system offered the Jager Kropp's from the Orbital Legion with 480,000 soldiers , 700 K3 Lee tanks and 120 Bi pnes for the final battle at the cost of one million points to start the final battle.

  Hariko Lee agreed so the conscious system deducted 1,000,000 points totaling 9,447,162 points.

  The tension escates as Hariko Lee's forces prepare for the final confrontation with the Hornet Tribe.

  The S2 fgship hovers ominously over the northern region, casting its shadow upon the vast, buzzing nds of the Hornet Tribe. Below, Hariko Lee surveys the ndscape from the command bridge, observing the chaotic swarm of hornet warriors preparing for battle. A holographic projection of the Conscious System materialises before him, dispying the massive reinforcements about to be deployed: 480,000 soldiers of the Jager Kropp's Orbital Legion, 700 K3 Lee tanks rumbling with power, and 120 Bi pnes soaring into formation above.

  The atmosphere on the S2 fgship is tense, the hum of machinery and the distant roars of the battlefield seeping into the halls. Imperial Marine Lieutenant stands vigint near the prison cell, where Hornet General, the Hornet General, continues her furious outbursts. Her screams of rage echo through the metallic walls, each one filled with malice and humiliation from her earlier defeat. Despite her imprisonment, she vows vengeance, the dark energy within her still crackling menacingly.

  Back on the ground, the soldiers of the Jager Kropp's Orbital Legion, in their power armor, nd with precision, their boots sinking into the foreign soil as they secure their positions. The tanks, K3 Lee behemoths, rumble into formation, their massive cannons aimed at the heart of the Hornet Tribe’s stronghold. Above, the Bi pnes sweep across the sky, creating a synchronized pattern as they prepare for aerial assaults.

  As Hariko Lee reviews the tactical dispy, the Conscious System sends another notification:

  Conscious System: "Reinforcements deployed. Preparing for the final assault. Would you like to execute a preemptive strike with orbital bombardment before your forces engage directly?"

  Hariko contemptes his next move carefully, knowing that every decision now could mean the difference between victory and defeat. He looks toward his allies—Imperial Marine Lieutenant, Sue Lee, and the rest of his elite force—knowing they await his command. With a flick of his wrist, he signals for the final battle to commence.

  Hariko Lee: "No mercy. Let’s end this."

  The battlefield begins to tremble as the forces of the Orbital Legion advance, the sound of artillery shells exploding in the distance marking the beginning of the st stand against the Hornet Tribe. The final battle looms, the fate of the region hanging in the bance as both sides prepare to unleash their full fury.

  Hariko Lee stood over the battlefield, watching the remnants of the Hornet Tribe being escorted to the prison camps by his Marines. His S2 fgship loomed high in the sky, casting an imposing shadow over the fallen stronghold. The orbital bombardment had done its work, but the victory was not without cost. The terrain was scarred with craters, trees charred to stumps, and the air still heavy with the scent of smoke.

  Hariko took a deep breath, the adrenaline of battle slowly fading. Beside him, Morrigan gave a curt nod, signaling the regroup of forces.

  Morrigan: "Our troops are ready for the final push. The Hornet stronghold was a significant blow to their morale. They’ll be retreating to their northern bastions now."

  Hariko Lee: "Good. Let them run. We'll catch up soon enough."

  The sky was slowly turning a pale pink, the sun beginning to rise after a long night of fighting. Despite the victory, there was no celebration among Hariko’s troops. This was only one step in the rger campaign. They had to press their advantage before the Hornets could regroup.

  Sue Lee nded beside Hariko, her wings folding neatly as she brushed some dust from her armor. Her expression was one of satisfaction but also of caution.

  Sue Lee: "The Wasp Queen will be pleased. But make no mistake, Hariko, she’s watching closely. She’ll want to see how we handle the northern tribes before committing fully."

  Hariko nodded, his thoughts aligning with Sue’s words. The Wasp Queen, Lue Wang, had made it clear that any alliance would be contingent on their ability to crush the Hornet resistance and stabilise the region. This was as much a test of their military might as it was of their ability to command loyalty.

  Hariko Lee: "We’re not done yet. Sue, I want you to prepare your aerial units for reconnaissance. We’ll need to scout the northern terrain before the final assault. Morrigan, have the Sisters of Faith on standby—if the Hornets have reinforcements, they’ll hit us hard up there."

  Morrigan: "Understood. I’ll also prepare the power-armored squads for heavy combat. The final advance won’t be as simple as this one."

  Hariko Lee's eyes hardened as he turned to his fgship. The orbital bombardment had decimated much of the Hornet Tribe’s defenses, but the northern nds were more fortified, and intelligence suggested that the Hornet Queen herself was rallying the remaining forces there. The final battle would determine not only the fate of the Hornet Tribe but also the future of the alliance with the Wasps.

  Hariko Lee: "Let’s finish this. We strike at dusk."

  As night fell, Hariko’s forces were once again aboard the dropships, their engines roaring to life as they flew north toward the st bastion of the Hornet Tribe. Below, the dark forests gave way to open pins, the perfect battleground for the final confrontation.

  In the lead dropship, Hariko Lee checked the tactical dispy, his mind racing with the strategy for the assault. The Hornet Queen’s forces would be desperate, but that made them dangerous. They would fight with everything they had to defend their homend.

  Morrigan stood beside him, adjusting her weapon. "We’ll give them no quarter this time. Once we break their line, the battle is ours."

  Hariko Lee: "Agreed. But we’ll give them the same offer we gave the General. Surrender, or be destroyed."

  The dropships nded just outside the enemy’s final fortress, their heavy thrusters kicking up dust and dirt. The Imperial Marines poured out, taking up defensive positions as the Sisters of Faith began setting up their forward base. The atmosphere was tense, every soldier knowing the importance of this st push.

  Sue Lee flew overhead, scouting the Hornet positions. Her voice crackled over the comms. "I see movement up ahead. Their forces are gathering in front of the main gate. It looks like they’re preparing for a st stand."

  Hariko’s lips tightened into a grim line. This was it.

  Hariko Lee: "All units, advance. Let's end this."

  With a roar, his forces surged forward, their weapons lighting up the night as they cshed with the remaining Hornet soldiers. The air was thick with the sound of gunfire, the buzzing of wings, and the cries of warriors on both sides. Hariko led the charge, his bde cutting through the enemy ranks as he pushed toward the fortress gate.

  The Hornet Queen, a towering figure with golden wings and piercing eyes, stood atop the gate, watching the battle unfold. She raised her staff, sending a pulse of energy toward Hariko’s forces, but the Sisters of Faith were ready. Their shields absorbed the attack, deflecting it harmlessly into the sky.

  Hariko Lee: "This is your st chance! Surrender now, or face complete annihition!"

  The Hornet Queen’s eyes bzed with defiance as she shouted down to him. "We will never bow to invaders! We will fight until the st of us falls!"

  Hariko’s expression hardened. "So be it."

  With a final command, he ordered the S2 fgship to unleash one st barrage. The sky lit up as the ship’s cannons fired down on the fortress, reducing the walls to rubble. The Hornet Queen screamed in rage, her forces scattering in terror as the fortress colpsed around them.

  In the aftermath, Hariko stood before the broken remnants of the Hornet Tribe. The Queen, battered and defeated, knelt before him, her golden wings tattered and torn.

  Hornet Queen: "You… have won. The Hornet Tribe… is no more."

  Hariko Lee sheathed his bde, his expression unreadable. "You fought with honour. Your people will be spared, as promised. But this war is over."

  The Hornet Queen lowered her head, her wings folding in submission. "We… surrender."

  Hariko turned to his forces, his voice carrying over the battlefield.

  Hariko Lee: "The Hornet Tribe has fallen."

  As the dawn broke over the northern pins, Hariko’s forces began the long march back to their base, the weight of victory settling on their shoulders. The alliance with the Wasp Queen was secure, but the cost had been high.

  Hariko Lee knew that this was only the beginning. The stars awaited, and with the tribes united under his banner, they would be ready to conquer them.

  Commander Sue Lee:" Let's head to the Celestial Wasps domain so we can discuss the surrender terms with the hornet tribe and the other domains around the domain since this is about a major war where there are moderate to heavy casualties, we can go there now."

  A signal from the Celestial Wasp's shrine began to reach each insect queen and the notice to arrive at the Celestial wasp domain is one day away. The queen of the spider tribe answered while the mantis tribe elders pnned on founding a nation or moving from their home world to another world while the bee tribes totaling 45 tribes started selecting their generals as their representatives due to needing to give birth to more bees. The beetle tribe queen began preparing to travel to the Celestial Wasp Tribe. The dragonfly tribe agreed due to taking a break from giving birth to soldier dragonflies and worker dragonflies while the local dragonflies gave birth to dragonflies.
