The elves have lagged behind other races for more than a hundred years, and now they can’t catch up even if they try their best. The elves’ currency has no purchasing power in the interstellar space.

However, when it comes to buying weapons and technology, the Zerg is the first choice. Their weapons are good and of high quality, and one is worth ten from other races.

The only drawback is that it is expensive, but the elves are poor and would like to break one insect coin into ten to spend.

This battle with the orcs almost emptied the elves' wealth. Coupled with the application to become a subsidiary of the Zerg, their future resources will not be enough for the elves.

At this time, Qio didn't know that because of his actions, the elves were in debt again.

You know, he could cry out loud on the spot.

After much persuasion, Qio finally agreed to take the money first. It was quite risky to let the elves live in the Zerg tribe permanently. He didn't know whether the Elf King would agree.

Qio was confident. After all, with the temptation of 50,000 elf coins, there would definitely be an elf willing to do so. If he could keep doing this, his brother's food would be taken care of in the future.

But staying on the desolate planet would more or less allow them to get along with the orcs... Even Qio himself couldn't accept it, let alone other members of the tribe.

I wish I could fly back to discuss this with my father right now.

Chio fell into deep thought.

Qi Shan quickly put the things away, not giving Qiao a chance to regret.

"Let's go back tomorrow." We can't stay here for long now, let's make arrangements slowly after we get back.

"Have you found a way to go back? Great." Mil didn't want to go back with him, so he continued to stay and wasted time.

Qio was anxious, and Qi Shan was anxious too. Although the probability of Qio changing his mind was low, it would be better to take the things back quickly.

The female soldiers nearby were waiting, and as soon as Qi Shan said he was leaving, they immediately started to prepare.

At night, Qio quietly called Mil out and showed off the things he bought to him.

“These were bought by my brother.”

Mir waited for him to finish with a blank expression.

Qio didn't get the reaction he wanted, and it was hard for him to laugh: "Mil?"

"Why don't you leave yet?"

Qio's hand holding the things froze, "Do you want your brother to leave?"

Mir did not answer, but asked: "The bugs on Xiaojing are jumping bugs, right? It's the first time I've seen this kind of bugs. I didn't react at first."

Qio didn't say anything. The book had detailed instructions on how to capture and use the jumping insects, which were a powerful weapon against orcs.

Elves don't like it, but are good at catching it.

How could Mir, who spent all his time in the palace reading books, not know this?

"I don't need your stuff, please leave now." Mir pushed the things in front of him next to Qio.

"Mil" Chio felt a little pain in his chest, "Are you angry because of that orc? Do you really like her?"

Mir sighed, "Brother, what are you thinking about? Now is not the time to be concerned about such things, especially when the elves and orcs are at war."

"How do you know?" he asked in surprise. Before Mir disappeared, the elves had been oppressed by the orcs for thousands of years and had never intended to go to war. How could Mir, who had been staying on the desolate planet, know that they had started a war?

Mir looked at him helplessly: "This place is very close to the border. This planet is one of the garrisons of the First Army. The news of the war has spread everywhere."

Chio didn't know what to say.

Mir: "You shouldn't have delayed. During the war, the prince's disappearance would cause panic, and the elves can't beat the orcs. It's been delayed until now. Did the Zerg intervene? What did father do to let the Zerg help us?"

"...We will submit an application for affiliation to the Zerg." Qio was a little afraid to look at his brother's eyes. The elves had persisted for so long just because they did not want to become a subsidiary of the orcs, but now they took the initiative to submit an application for affiliation to the Zerg.

Not only him, but all young elves basically couldn't accept it.

"So that's how it is," Mir relaxed, "I'm glad that father has figured it out."

Qio looked at him in disbelief: "Father had the idea of ​​applying for annexation from the Zerg from the beginning? How did you know?"

Mir said nothing, just looked at him quietly, which made Qio unable to help but step back.

"You should go back, brother. I won't go back," Mir said calmly, "The Elf Star doesn't need incomplete elves, but the elves need elves who are looking for new ways out."

Qio felt as if his lips were glued shut, and it was difficult to open them: "Mil...was your disappearance an accident?"

Mir didn't look at him and turned around: "Father Bersha is a very good insect. He has saved enough insect coins to enter the city. He will let me go to school after a while. I will study hard."

"In the future, I will stay with my female father to repay him." He paused and continued, "Father knows."

After saying this, he strode away, leaving Qio standing there in a trance, as if he was caught in a whirlpool of thoughts and felt dizzy.

Qi Shan, who was eavesdropping, looked at Qi Ao with pity and whispered, "No wonder you are so confident, did you know this a long time ago?"

Bersha folded his hands and smiled:

"I found Mil a few days ago. He said so himself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let a strange sub-adult elf stay here. Although he is small in size, he is older than Xiaojing."

He said with a look of disdain: "Relying on your small size, you are quite good at pretending to be a cub."

Xiao Jing was the cub he raised with his own hands. If he didn't know the details, how could he let a sub-adult elf stay with Xiao Jing?

Or the orcs' mortal enemy.

"He suddenly appeared in the forest. Commander Li contacted me and asked me to keep him." Bersha smiled foolishly. "I thought the commander didn't know that I had been hiding for so long. Who would have thought that the commander knew and indulged me for so long."

"Although he was seriously injured at the time, he deliberately avoided rescue, so it is not too much to be convicted of desertion."

Qi Shan glanced at him and said: "You are so brave. You dare to hide from rescue even though you are so seriously injured."

There were still severe scars on his body. To say that his injuries were serious would be an understatement. With scars like these, he was probably on the verge of death.

Bersha touched his nose guiltily, "My shell is broken, I will be a useless insect if I go back, and I have no home, so I might as well find a place to wait for death. But when I woke up, I found that the wound had been treated, and I didn't know who treated it at that time."

"Later, I heard that some insects were also rescued when they were about to die. I think I was saved by the mysterious insect god in the rumors. In this case, maybe the mysterious insect god was arranged by the commander."

As he said this, his face was filled with admiration, "Ah~ the commander is very foresighted."

It’s not him, Qi Shan answered in his heart. He was less than one year old at the time. He hid in a tree hole every day and dared not go out. He lived on system loans.

Bosha thanked the wrong insect. It should be General Cheng Li who did it. When he saw Bosha hiding and waiting to die, he knew that he was determined to die, so he did not take him back by force, but treated his wounds properly.

"You are an informed person, no wonder..." No wonder he spent so much energy to raise the elves. He really thought it was a kind gesture at first.

But it makes sense. Raising an elf is more difficult than raising a bug. It cannot eat meat, and vegetables and fruits are rare among the Zerg.

Usually, I can only pick some sour fruits in the forest and occasionally spend a lot of money to buy them.

"The commander gave me some money, otherwise I wouldn't be able to support him." Bersha laughed and said, "I said, Mir will not leave."

Of course he won’t leave. His goal is to stay on Insect Star to study.
