A week after that incident, Altair and General Vega had been fully recovered from their wounds. They were now preparing for the war by tuning their mechs. Altair was fixing some part of his SSS Boxer, and General Vega replaced the machine gun on his Man Drill mech with saw blade again.

They knew the war was near, though it was inevitable because they decided to defect from the Kingdom and started a new kingdom with Sweren as its main capital. Altair and General Vega had been preparing everything since the first day after that incident anyway.

General Vega Satellarnus' soldiers were loyal to the General, whom they witnessed had fought valiantly against the Zergs for years. Sometimes, the nobles and royal family would like to sabotage the General by sending him lesser supply. This happened because they wanted to take some for themselves like the corrupt officials always did.

But General Vega stayed loyal with the Kingdom, and perhaps, this was the end of his patience. Especially when this was about his fated pair, Altair Roderick.

"How about the General Lieutenants?" Altair asked while fixing his SSS Boxer's arms.

"Two left us and joined side with the royal family, four stayed, and of course, some old generals also secretly support us because they have been fed up with royal family's overcontrolling nature and their scepticism with Prince Rigel," General Vega replied.

"I see…" Altair, who was done fixing his mech and jumped. He landed in front of General Vega and smiled, "I'm glad that we have many people siding with us. At least, our chance of winning is higher."

General Vega scoffed, "Altair, are you scared?"

Being looked down on by his omega, Altair reacted strongly, "Scared? Who is scared?! I will take them all down if it's needed! You don't need to move an inch! I will kill them all before they can even reach you!"

General Vega chuckled at Altair's overreaction. His stubbornness and pride were still there, "We will be fine. I love you. You love me. We are a happy family..."

[With a great big hug. And a kiss from me to you…]

[Pupa:…]

[Continue, Pupa~]

[Pupa:… Won't you say you love me too?]

[Ehehe~ Come on, system. Cheer up a bit. Everything will be alright.]

[Pupa: I know everything will be alright. I'm just worried about the aftermath.]

[What do you mean?]

[Pupa: Do you want to get pregnant?]

[… I will think about that later.]

Pupa rolled its eyes. As expected, Yunyu might have fallen in love with Altair, but he still refused to get pregnant in the end. Pupa just hoped that no trouble would emerge after the war ended.

"General, General Vega!" one soldier rushed towards General Vega and handed a letter to the General, "T—This is an official letter from Prince Rigel! The Kingdom is declaring war against us, and they will come soon!"

General Vega frowned and opened the official letter by pressing a button. The holographic face of Prince Rigel was shown, and he started talking, 'General Vega Satellarnus, since you refused to give my alpha back, then I will kill you and exterminate your soldiers. Sweren and Altair are mine and shall be mine!'

General Vega stared at the message coldly before crushing the holographic machine, "How long until they arrive?"

"Reporting, General! It should be one day before their arrival!"

"I see, then, prepare everything. Don't let the civilians join us. They should be protected after the devastating Zergs invasion. Our soldiers are enough to handle them.

"Yes, General!" the soldier left General Vega and Altair.

Altair stared at his omega and asked, "Are you sure we don't need more soldiers?"

"I'm sure. What you don't know is that I've recruited almost all the strongest soldiers in the Kingdom. Even the B+ ranked soldiers are top of their game. We might have a small amount compared to them, but it's like an elephant stomping bunch of ants."

"But of course, I will never do unnecessary kill," General Vega said, "I just want them to surrender, that's it."

Altair watched how his usually stern General turned colder when the war was about to begin, like a majestic king that was about to lead a fight. And the only thing that came into his imagination was…

'I want him to bear my babies.'

***

The gloomy day was finally here. General Vega was ready inside his mech, standing side by side with Altair Roderick in his mech. He told his soldier first, "My fellow comrade, we are here today to fight against our own brother. No matter who commands them, they are still our fellow comrades!"

"Thus, I know that we are stronger than them, but that doesn't mean that we can massacre them. We only shed the blood of the Zergs!"

"My fellow comrade, once you go into the battlefield, keep it in your heart that you are playing a fight against your own brother! Once you disarm them out of their weapon, you should spare them if they surrendered. Do not kill unnecessarily!"

"THIS IS FOR FREEDOM! FOR HUMANITY! FREE THE COUNTRY FROM TYRANT RULER!"

"FOR HUMANITY!"

Altair watched how everyone was riled up to fight against Prince Rigel. Though the royal family had been ruling by iron fist for so long, nobody ever dared to stand up against them because they were too scared fighting against the cruel tyrant.

Who would've expected, the one that would stand against them was their most loyal dog, General Vega Satellarnus.

'Ah, I want him to be mine, in bed, and fill him with my seed. Then he will bear my baby, and we are going to have more and more and more until we have a lot of offspring…'

General Vega glanced at Altair, who was dazed for a while.

[Pupa, why did I think Altair has been a bit wrong since two days ago? I feel like… he has been staring at me for too long, with that nasty, perverted gaze.]

[Pupa: He is going in his rut soon.]

[HE IS WHAT?! RUT?! WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WAR!!]

[Pupa: Sssh! Don't scream in your head. You know I can hear you clearly.]

[Pupa: And yes, he is in a rut. Unlike you, who has been experimented and will not go in heat unless Altair initiated first. Altair is a normal alpha, and when he meets his fated pair, of course, he will get in a rut sooner or later.]

Yunyu gulped. He looked at Altair, and Altair showed a meaningful smile at him, which crept Yunyu out. He hurriedly turned on his mech and flew away first, "Get ready, everyone!"

Altair watched General Vega's mech flying farther, and he clicked his tongue, 'Tch, why did he need to go far? This war is just so troublesome… I want this to be finished soon.' Altair thought.

Pupa watched how Altair's aura had changed in just two days. He became a lot more erratic and impatient. It was obvious that Altair was in a rut. Pupa wanted to say something to Yunyu. But Pupa had another thing in its mind.

Pupa knew that the war would be easy with Altair going in a rut. When an alpha went in a rut, he could be ten times weaker or stronger, depending on his omega. As long as Yunyu could incite him during the war, then it was a guaranteed success.

'Well, I will just hold it until it is time. Spicy Chicken Yunyu will definitely mess it up if I said it too early.'
