Are the insects who raise little trash in their home male insects?

After a few pleasantries, they got down to business. When the matter of the one billion soldiers was mentioned, Avery's face suddenly darkened.

"For the sake of our former friendship, I will give you a chance to explain, Great Elder."

The commander was a little nervous. Why did the atmosphere suddenly change?

"Of course, sir," the great elder said with a wry smile, "our king is addicted to hatred. The previous king died in an accident. The king has always wanted to start a war, but we are well aware of the greatness of the Zerg and have never agreed."

He sighed, "I never thought that the king would hide it from us and launch an attack with his soldiers. From the beginning to the end, we and the soldiers were innocent. We only blamed ourselves for trusting the king too much."

"The former mermaid king," Avery tapped the table with his fingers, "Ah, now I remember, he was killed by our military commander because he was disrespectful to you, sir?"

"I'm so sorry, I was too young and impulsive," Avery laughed.

"You're exaggerating. The previous king's death was his own fault. We all know that the previous king was an arrogant king since a long time ago." The great elder felt as cold as if he was entangled by a snake.

"But your surprise attack on the Rose Pavilion is not easy to handle. The soldiers below are very angry. Although we are friends, you know that when you are in this position, you will inevitably be influenced by the opinions of the masses."

"Regarding this, we will compensate for the losses as much as possible."

"Although I also want to agree, after all, we are old friends, but this is not enough to appease the government's anger," Avery said with difficulty, seeming to really care about the other party.

The elder felt numb with cold all over. He knew what the other party wanted: "We will give all the test crystals stored in the palace to you."

Hearing this, Avery was satisfied. Of course, the compensation besides this should not be less.

He calmly handed over the list of losses incurred during the war, which was actually compensation for ceding territory.

"If only you had come earlier, your soldiers wouldn't have died in vain accompanying the foolish king," Avery said regretfully, feeling extremely sad about the loss of money. "I'm so sorry, because the Rose Pavilion was almost attacked, the soldiers down there got a little excited, and accidentally left no one alive."

"They were at fault first. Even if you don't deal with it, we will deal with it later." The elder lowered his posture very low, and his hand holding the list trembled constantly. "I will explain to the people after I go back. As for the king, times have changed, and we will re-elect a suitable king."

"Choose carefully. It would be terrible if you meet a king with such a mental disorder again."

"Of course, you are right."

The commander and soldiers who walked out of the army breathed a sigh of relief and thankfully said, "Fortunately, the Zerg can still speak."

"What can you say?" The elder shook his head. "He has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for us to come to him."

"Eh? He did it on purpose? Then why should we pay compensation?" The soldier didn't understand, "So many mermaids died."

The great elder glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It was the king who started the war. The king represents the will of a race. Even if we say we are innocent, the Zerg must be willing to believe it."

The commander nodded and said guiltily: "The mermaid is too weak, and the elder has to be humble."

The soldier also looked at the elder with guilt.

The great elder shook his head: "As long as we can keep the mermaids alive, everything is worth it. The rise of the Zerg is unstoppable. What we have to do is not to be dragged into the undercurrent by this big ship."

The next day, Avery received a box of test crystals from the mermaids. He picked them up and examined them with satisfaction: "It looks flawless. Whether it can be used depends on you."

Li leaned on the table and said, "The government has received the news. We can keep one third of the spoils."

Avery decisively picked out one-third of them and placed them in the box one by one. "Send the worms to Blue Cub."

"all?"

"It's useless for us to keep it. This thing can only be most useful in the hands of a male insect."

Li nodded, and he looked at Avery with some guilt: "Is there anything you want?"

The Crystal Test Stone is a rare mineral in the hands of a few races. It is very useful in improving mental strength. Moreover, only specific races can sense the location of this mineral and pick it. Its value is unimaginable.

Avery laughed: "Why, I have your salary card in my hands, what else do you want to make up to me?"

The beginning of the calendar is: "One code is one code"

Avery rubbed against Li and said, "I'm sorry, okay, this is a gift for my little male cub, I don't need you to compensate me."

Li coughed twice and stopped talking.

After appreciating Li's embarrassed look, before Li got angry, Avery happily handed the packed gift to his subordinates, and the fatigue from being on the front line for a long time disappeared.

After Qi Shan sent Ao Meng and the others away, he was in a bad mood. He felt that he had no motivation to do anything. Even his browsing of the Star Network was intermittent.

(The Mermaids openly declared war on the Zerg? Oh, it's a reversal. It was the King's impulsive behavior. Now he surrenders unconditionally and compensates the Zerg for huge losses.)

(System: Guess what I saw. From the time the mermaids declared war to the time they surrendered, it took less than three hours. The mermaids reacted really quickly.)

(An alternative explanation is that the Zerg is still very strong)

(System: If it weren’t for the female Zerg’s mental strength problem, the Zerg would have long since conquered the universe, and there would be no superficial peace. However, the Zerg now seem to be particular about not killing them all, perhaps because they are afraid of the suicidal revenge that occurred 150 years ago.)

(Ah, the ghost disaster, the culprit that caused male insects to become a rare species)

Kata knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, Mr. Avery sent a box of gifts, would you like to come and take a look?"

"Come!" Qi Shan threw away his helmet and ran to the door barefoot.

Kata gently stopped him and said, "Sir, please put on your shoes to avoid catching a cold."

"Oh." Qi Shan turned around to get his shoes, put them on while walking, and without waiting to put them on, he hurried to the living room.

Kata followed reluctantly.

Seeing the female soldier guarding the box, Qi Shan grinned and said, "Thank you."

The female soldier blushed to her ears and replied in a muffled voice: "It should be done."

Qi Shan couldn't wait to open the box. Under the light, the gems in the box reflected colorful light.

"So beautiful, is this a gem?"

"Yes, sir, it's called the Test Crystal Stone, and it's very helpful in improving mental strength," the female soldier replied.

Qi Shan exclaimed in amazement: "Isn't that very rare?" Items that can enhance mental strength have always been rare and expensive.

The female soldier continued to answer: "The crystal stone is the spoils of the battle of the acting commander. As the supreme leader of this battle, the acting commander has the right to distribute one third of it. The remaining two thirds have been sent to the government."

"Wow, Mr. Avery is awesome."

The female soldiers shared the same honor and puffed out their chests with pride.

Qi Shan picked up a piece of yellow crystal. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but in the sunlight, it seemed that something was flowing inside the crystal.

(System: Ah Shan, there is a strong mental reaction inside, and the amount is very large. Grind this amount into powder and put a little into the cup, and it will be a limited special nutrient solution)
