StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

The roundtable meeting was in full swing, with questions raised and revisions made from time to time by several clans, ultimately leading to a preliminary draft.

"By the way, didn't Lord Gatana mention that the Queen Insect also came to the King Star? Since she is the real Queen Insect, her pheromones must have a very strong calming effect. Why don't we bring the esteemed Queen Insect along? It can also reassure the soldiers on the front lines..."

The Third Elder offered his opinion, "Moreover, for over two hundred years, the Zerg have relied on inhibitors and bio-based pheromones developed by the research institute to survive, suppressing their true nature too much, which is not conducive to sustainable combat. I wonder what Lord Gatana thinks?"

Gatana knew, of course, that they were deliberately trying to embarrass him.

He was the one who announced the return of the Queen and invited the clan to go, but unexpectedly, Desk took the Queen away without permission and has not returned to this day.

If the Queen Insect were to get into trouble while she was away, it would be difficult for him to truly seize power.

However... if something really happens, it can't be blamed on him.

With a forced smile, he said, "Of course, but the Queen Mother is delicate and needs to rest for a while. It would be better to send Alex and Nordlin to the front lines to provide support first."

Alex nodded in agreement, his expressionless face remaining impassive.

Mother insect?

Desk rushed to the entrance of the palace in the core area just before the roundtable meeting ended. He hurriedly picked up Shen Qingqing and was about to walk inside when he was stopped.

"Why are you stopping me? I am the Grand Elder's son!"

Desk held Shen Qingqing and shouted.

"I'm sorry, but the elders are in a meeting and no one else is allowed to enter. Please wait a moment, young master."

On the steps outside the palace gate, attendants holding long swords resolutely refused to let them enter, lest they disturb the meeting of the thirteen clans.

Desk waited and waited outside, and finally couldn't resist sending a message to his brother, whom he had little contact with.

[Brother, are you there? Your brother has urgent business in the main hall.]

Alex, who was in the middle of the meeting, glanced at the optical computer and his expression changed slightly.

Why is his good-for-nothing brother messaging him now, even using an internal line?

However, interruptions were not permitted during the meeting, so Alex did not respond.

Desker was furious when he saw the message that was rejected shortly after it was sent.

Why is his brother still so rigid and inflexible in his work?

Shen Qingqing was held in someone's arms and glanced at the personal terminal.

The message Desk sent was bounced back, and above the bounced message was a sentence:

[Incorrect specifications, returned]

It seems his brother is a meticulous person; he even rejects formatting errors.

It's a bit like when your supervisor points out a formatting error during the review of your graduation thesis, and you have to redo it.

"How about we wait a bit longer? There shouldn't be any rush."

"Come on, this is a roundtable meeting! How can we not be anxious? On the contrary, we are very anxious! Extremely urgent!"

Desker could only pray that his brother was busy and would leave as soon as the meeting was over.

He didn't want to be lectured by him.

It's important to know that Alex is notoriously ruthless; familial ties are no match for military orders.

“That’s Alex, I don’t want to get a lecture from him…” Desk muttered, clearly reluctant to see him.

Upon hearing an unfamiliar name, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but ask curiously, "You're so afraid of your brother, has he ever bullied you?"

“No, it’s just that I can’t stand his expression,” Deske said, wandering around from the entrance of the hall to the steps and then down the steps. “Although he doesn’t have any expression on his face, I’m just scared.”

"That cold face is even colder than Sarnster's; you'll see when you meet him."

Hearing Deske describe his brother as so terrifying, Shen Qingqing didn't really believe it.

Was his face even colder than Sannster's?

Please, Saenster's face has never been cold!

During this time, Shen Qingqing repeatedly stated that she had legs and could walk on her own, but her claims were ignored.

Desk would hug her whenever he had nothing to do, as if he were asserting his ownership.

He would occasionally toss her high into the air when she wasn't looking and catch her, causing a gasp of surprise.

This is what Alex saw when he came out with the elders and others.

Desk was playing a game of lifting a female high in the air, completely unaware of the elder behind him whose face was growing increasingly gloomy.

Shen Qingqing poked Desk's shoulder with her finger, signaling him to stop playing around because someone was coming.

However, Desker only glanced back, then caught Shen Qingqing steadily and ran away without looking back!

Everyone was stunned by the scene.

What's the situation?

Desk not only ran by himself, but also took Shen Qingqing with him.

"We share the good times and the bad. This whole thing started because of me. Qingqing, seize the opportunity and run!"

It was as if he were giving his last words, making arrangements for his affairs.

Desker had never felt so fast before.

He used to fly spaceships or aircraft, and it had been a long time since he had enjoyed the feeling of flying freely.

The last time he ran this fast was because his insect body was exposed and his father chased him away.

Alex, standing at the edge of the crowd, reacted quickly enough to disappear from the spot like an arrow before Kavid could speak.

Desker was still congratulating himself on running fast enough to catch those old guys off guard before they could react.

They probably won't be able to catch up now.

Thinking this way, I felt as if the moving grass and trees around me were frozen in place.

When speed reaches its limit, it can transcend the river of time and space to achieve a state of eternal stillness.

But he overlooked an uncontrollable factor—Alex.

Alex's speed is undeniable. Wang Xing had heard of Saenster's formidable strength and also praised Alex's extreme speed.

So when a hand landed on his shoulder, it was all over.

In just a few seconds, Descar was forced to stop and nearly crashed to his death due to his inability to brake in time.

As for Shen Qingqing?

The moment she was thrown out, a long arm grabbed her arm and pulled her back, landing her in a cold, hard embrace.

Desker was also grabbed by the collar and carried back.

When Gatana saw that Shen Qingqing was also there, he rubbed his temples with a headache.

What an inopportune time!

If they had arrived earlier or later, the roundtable meeting wouldn't have ended up in such a deadlock.

Fortunately, the matter was settled, and the outcome after discussion was acceptable, so he introduced her to them, "This is the Insect Queen, Shen Qingqing."

The Grand Elder was slightly taken aback when he saw her face clearly.

Isn't this the female that his youngest son flirted with the other day?

Upon hearing this, Alex turned to look at Shen Qingqing and put her down from his arms.

He released his grip on Shen Qingqing's hand and carefully examined the petite female in front of him.

Is she the Insect Queen?

Unlike previous insect queens, it was unusually small and delicate, and appeared to have no aggressiveness whatsoever.

I caught a whiff of pheromones that were almost blown away by the night breeze; they smelled quite sweet, but very faint.

Shen Qingqing stood up, looked at the people in front of her, extended her hand, and greeted them awkwardly but politely, "Hello."
