At the entrance of the Palace of Alitus, twelve white tiger riders flapped their huge white wings and landed one after another, leaving a series of dents in the newly poured ground.

Tokar looked at the mess on the ground, his heart clenched painfully, and he was heartbroken!

It wasn't that he was stingy; it's just that during the years of their uprising, their expenses were basically covered by Yalta's personal assets. They used it for insect-related business, bribing officials, and procuring weapons. Later, due to internal strife, they fought for almost half a year. After the male insects fell, a large number of female servants, slaves, and offspring were displaced. They had to build special shelters, nurseries, and relief stations, and money just kept flowing out like water. They finally managed to save money and survive until the end of the uprising. They thought they could finally enjoy a few days of peace, but they got nothing. The central square was blown up on the spot, leaving not even a usable brick.

Tokar and Dela almost wore themselves out trying to raise funds for this matter. In the end, it was the Toslia Merchant Guild that generously donated. Otherwise, they would have been prepared to steal some old items from the palace and send them to the auction house.

"That damn cartel..."

Tokar gritted his teeth, wishing he could slaughter those beasts on the spot!

Elke patted the female insect's shoulder helplessly, signaling her to accept the loss.

Tokar is basically in charge of everything inside and outside the palace, and he has indeed been working hard these days on the reconstruction of the central square.

In fact, barriers and fences had been set up everywhere to keep the ground level, but just twenty minutes earlier, Elke received an unexpected last-minute notification from the Cartel that they had reached the border of the Far North Sea, so they hurriedly removed them.

I originally thought they would fly in on their own, so the open space in front of the palace would be enough for them to land. Who would have thought they would be so cheeky, bringing so many mounts on a journey of just over twenty minutes!

"My heart is bleeding..."

Tokar glared at the group of female insects opposite him, his eyes blazing with fury. They were all winged races, so who was superior to whom? They just had to put on airs.

"It's on me this time."

As he spoke, Elke touched the hem of his suit jacket, his lips curling into a smile as his expression instantly changed. He walked up to the man, his voice gentle and his attitude humble: "Respected General Carter, welcome to the white snowfield—Lonkoda. I am Clarence Elke."

Carter stood with his arms crossed, his back ramrod straight, wearing a white military uniform with gold trim. His flowing cape featured a shield pattern with a sword inserted horizontally in the center.

It is the totem emblem of Morbis.

Even though the female insect is over 180 years old and her temples are gray, her brows are unusually sharp due to the signs of her long-term presence. She exudes an aura of authority without anger and is quite intimidating.

He looked down at Elke, his face revealing little emotion, but his arrogant and haughty demeanor said it all.

Elke didn't mind and gestured to them, "The climate in the far north is not as pleasant as elsewhere. You have come from afar and may feel unwell. I have prepared some wine and food. Have a drink to warm yourself up."

Carter remained motionless atop the white tiger, as if Elke didn't exist at all. The warriors behind him were the same, expressionless, like statues.

Tokar couldn't stand their attitude and, gripping his gun, tried to step forward, but Elke grabbed him and held him down.

Carter's thick eyebrows were filled with sarcasm: "I have come here on the orders of His Majesty the Insect King, representing the entire Prisket royal family, and yet you dare to be so disrespectful!"

Where is your leader?

"Send him here quickly!"

Tokar was furious at the tone of his voice. There was someone even more arrogant than Yalta!

Elke stepped forward and explained, "General Cartel's arrival was sudden, and the Chief is extremely busy and cannot spare the time."

"There are many excuses."

Tokar was so angry he almost laughed. He couldn't help but say, "General Carter is a highly decorated and renowned warrior, known as the Shield of Morbis. He must be an excellent soldier. You should know very well that punctuality is also a very important thing."

Carter, with his nose in the air: "Adaptability is just as important."

"you!"

Tokar was about to argue when he was suddenly interrupted by another voice: "General Carter, my Longkoda doesn't have as many rules as your Morbis. If you want, go in and sit down. If you don't want to, then take your flying cavalry and leave here immediately, lest you ruin the square I just renovated."

Yalta strolled out slowly, now dressed in a formal uniform—black with gold trim—and sporting a neat short haircut that exuded sharpness and arrogance.

Harvick and Arya followed behind, their faces equally calm and collected.

Carter looked at Yalta's nonchalant attitude and became even more disdainful: "Ignorant brat!"

Yalta was too lazy to waste words with him. He quickly leaped up and landed steadily on the white tiger's head.

Whether it was due to the overwhelming aura of the beastmen or some other reason, the beastmen's overlord did not resist at all after his head was stepped on. Instead, he did not dare to move at all, as if he was afraid that the female insect would fall down.

Yalta squatted down with satisfaction. Their eyes met, both displaying extremely arrogant attitudes.

He said, "General Carter, now that you're on Lonkorda's soil, you have to abide by my rules. Didn't your Insect King teach you that?"

As soon as the female insect finished speaking, she kicked the white tiger's head, causing its massive body to crash to the ground and die instantly.

Carter never expected that he would actually make a move at his own doorstep. After catching his balance with two side rolls, he glanced at the lifeless White Tiger and made a cracking sound as he clenched his fists.

living room.

Yalta touched the raised texture on the cup and winked at Della, who was standing to the side.

The female insect understood, took out the dossier she had prepared earlier, and laid it out on Carter's desk: "General, please take a look."

Carter remained arrogant, not even glancing at Yalta, and stared straight at him without any respect: "I am old and cannot see clearly. I would be grateful if the chief could explain something to me."

Cartel, born into nobility, had the utmost contempt for these barbarian tribes, who were backward and feudal in their thinking, possessing only muscular limbs but no brains.

Della clenched her fingers and took a few steps back indifferently.

Yalta stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly curled his lips into a smile, slapped down the cup in his hand, leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and slowly said, "These are the 572 male insects from Longkoda's trial this time, with clear records and surveillance videos of their crimes."

The first one: Alex Kurard, the former leader, roughly estimated to have murdered more than 39,800 female insects, of which 120 female queens were recorded, 85 died and 35 were maimed; 1,320 female servants, 1,250 died and 215 were maimed; countless female slaves; 172 insect eggs were crushed and 68 female insect offspring were killed.

Regardless of the crime of murdering a female insect, according to the Law of Morbis, anyone who plots to harm insect eggs or offspring, regardless of whether they are male or female, shall be executed immediately.

The second one: Kratos Torres, former cabinet minister, roughly estimated that he murdered 16,800 female insects, including 85 female queens, 36 of whom died and 20 were maimed; 2,560 female servants, more than 1,300 of whom died and 121 were maimed; and he crushed more than 60 insect eggs and maimed 26 insect offspring.

The charges are the same as above.

The third: Harriman Pope, former Home Secretary, roughly estimated that he murdered 16,800 insects, including 36 female rulers, 12 of whom died and 10 were maimed; and 1,276 female servants, 119 of whom died and more than 1,000 were maimed, and 40 insect eggs were destroyed.

The charges are the same as above.

……

Yalta knew the numbers in these archives by heart.

Over the past century, countless female insects have been killed by male insects.

Carter's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened, and he finally raised his hand to interrupt, speaking again with an unexpectedly restrained tone: "Take this file and come with me to Morbis."

Yalta lowered his crossed legs, his military boots hitting the ground with a crisp sound.

"Right on my mind."

After having his blood drawn, Yan Kai, with the help of Wender, found the place Knox had prepared for him.

Are you sure you haven't gone to the wrong place?

Wender handed over the electric key: "The fingerprint has been entered. Press and hold the black button in the middle for three seconds to unlock all the functions of the villa. I have some business to attend to at the research institute, so I'll be going now."

"sorry to bother you."

"Of course, please contact me immediately if you encounter any problems."

Wendell tapped his wrist.

"it is good."

Yan Kai touched the quantum computer in his hand; finally, he also possessed a high-tech device.

After Wendell left, I tried pressing the switch, and the originally dimly lit villa was immediately brightly lit.

He suppressed the urge to smile and looked with satisfaction at the 500-square-meter detached villa. It not only had a swimming pool and a large garden, but also a small private flying vehicle parked on the lawn. Inside were two high-tech insect-based AIs, one responsible for daily life and the other for cleaning and sanitation, making it convenient and efficient.

night.

Yan Kai lay on the soft and warm three-meter-long bed, smelling the faint fragrance on the sheets, and only one word filled his mind: awesome!
