Ch24 – [Black Knight XXIV]
Although their king did not retain any racial characteristic, he was undoubtedly a Zerg. There were always outsiders who mistook their own king for a human being, which was certainly not a happy thing for the Zergs. It would be known to all the stars that this was the king of their clan one day.
At this time, the human army was obviously stunned. He represented the Zergs. What kind of position did he have to say this?
Seeing that the high-level Zergs around him had no intention of refuting at all, General Shen Qiu, who had a steady and fierce eye, could not help changing his mind slightly. Before he could find out the answer, he first shook the hand extended to him by the black haired youth in front of his eyes.
The etiquette of meeting and shaking hands was a sign of friendliness in most races, and if the other person had extended his hand and it was not reciprocated, it clearly expressed a sense of neglect.
Being stared at by so many high-level Zergs, General Shen reached out shook the hand very quickly. When he took back his hand, he faced the youth standing in front of him and changed his attitude to caution.
The recent unusual actions of the Zergs had been witnessed by all races across the planet, from the joining of their armies to the feedback on StarNet to the establishment of friendly relations with the Goblins.
The emergence of the Zergs, or the birth of a leader above the four Legion Leaders, were particularly worthy of their attention.
The owner of the strange name may be standing in front of him, aware of this, General Shen Qiu’s mood suddenly became heavy.
The difficulty of solving the problem now was hard. Faced with the rather difficult situation at present, Shen Qiu asked a tentative question, “What is your identity representing the Zerg clan?”
A race could not be represented by a representative, which was valid only if it was spoken by the supreme authority, otherwise it was void. Even with the basic certainty in mind, General Shen still hoped to get a confirmation.
This question did not bother the youth, Aljer next to him, responded, “Your Majesty, as a king, represents me and all others. There is no problem at all.”
There was nothing to hide. The Zergs had the ability to guard their precious treasures.
Was it a Zerg cub…?
From those pale golden vertical pupils, there was a vague sense of pressure, and General Shen suddenly felt a little uncertain about his idea.
Golden vertical pupils were very symbolic in the Zerg clan, especially when combined with a silver tail, only one Zerg had such a combination. But it was not clear to the humans who did not have a thorough understanding of the Zergs.
If they knew the true identity of the Zerg cub in front of them, the human forces would definitely raise their highest defence, but at this moment, they had no idea what kind of terror they were facing.
Gu Huai took the round Zerg cub from his shoulder and held it in his arms. Then his voice was quiet and clear. He said to the other, “The guests mentioned just now. This is a misunderstanding.” The Zerg did not mean to regard the two officers as captives. To be exact, they were now the Zergs’ guests.
Gu Huai added a little more emphasis on the word “guest”. He left some time for the humans to digest. Then he said, “At first, we found two officers on the warship of the Penn Empire. At that time, they were imprisoned in the warship’s interrogation room. After discovering them, we rescued them and brought them to Tuther.”
??? Why did this sound wrong?
The two officers who were listening stayed together. They thought over the youth’s words for a while. Now they had a complex feeling of wanting to say something but can’t.
They were indeed captured by the minority goblins of the Penn Empire. Yes, they were imprisoned on that warship, but the Zergs rescued them…?
Rescue.
Clearly there was something wrong with the feeling, but the two humans could not refute this statement, because in a sense, the Zerg were really ‘rescuing’ them at that time.
And after listening to the words of their own king, the Zergs were also having similar issues.
They … save people?
It seemed not, but the fleet of the Penn Empire were too bold to attack them, and was crushed by their attack, and then they harvested a pile of trophies free of charge, including the two humans. During the period when they had just returned to Tuther, they were still holding the humans in prison…
But later, because of their king’s wishes, the two became Zerg guests, at this time they naturally treat them with courtesy.
Compared with the entanglement of the two humans, the Zergs finished thinking simply after a few seconds. What our king said was right. To conclude with this idea, the high level Zergs continued to look expressionless.
General Shen Qiu looked at his son and companion with questioning eyes and they nodded at him unanimously. For a moment, the brilliant General of the Earth Federation was silent.
If it was true, this time they really misunderstood the Zergs…
“I apologize for my misjudgement.” Taking off his military cap, General Shen Qiu apologized to the young black haired man who was looking down slightly.
Language was an art. Even if the same thing was described in different ways, it would make the listener feel and understand differently.
Gu Huai nodded to the other. “We didn’t really want to keep them in custody, but the Zerg team was ordered to protect the two guests. Without a second order from their superior, it is impossible for them to give them to you. The Zerg are a very disciplined race, which I think you also also know”
Reasonable and justified… There was no refutation. Not only the General, but the human forces were silent for a few seconds.
No one doubted the discipline of the Zerg army, because it was determined by their racial instinct.
The Zerg soldiers would obey the orders of their superior unconditionally and carry them out to the end. The execution process would not be shaken at all.
“If the general wants to take them back, it’s not a difficult thing either. It’s okay to take them away now. But three days later, at the Seiser auction, we got a good seat. We wanted to invite two guests to join us.” After that, Gu Huai looked at the two people not far away and gave them a look.
Now and three days after the auction, how did you think there was no difference? The two humans thought. After all, if the Zergs didn’t want to let them go, they couldn’t choose to leave. On the contrary, it was okay for them to stay a few days longer.
The main reason Gu Huai mentioned the Seiser auction, Mino star only held the famous intergalactic auction every ten years, to be able to get a good seat was a very attractive thing. Although the youth only said ‘good’, the goblin as the organizer specially prepared for the Zerg VIP area, think about how good the location would be.
“Then we’ll go in a few days. Shen, what do you say?” Hammer put his hand over the waist of the man next to him.
Shen Mu looked at his father. After staying with the Zergs for a period of time, he actually thought that the Zergs would not do anything. This was determined by his own eyes during this period.
There were people who stayed with the Zergs and didn’t want to return home for the time being. No race in the whole Star World would believe it, but it happened just in front of them.
This kind of thing had to be asked. Receiving his son’s gaze, General Shen Qiu straightened out his thoughts. He calmed down again. “You decide for yourselves.”
If the Zerg really wanted to take someone away, it would be the same now or later. Just looking at the fact that the two younger generations would consider staying with the Zergz for a few more days, General Shen Qiu thought it might be necessary to adjust his views on the Zerg.
It was a very foolish thing to see things that has changed and to persist in the old way. But besides that, General Shen Qiu was also thinking about another issue.
The Zergs were going to attend the Seiser Auction. Could his mission be successfully completed? If the Zergs were willing to bid for the finalized treasure at that time. Considering this, the human thought of a fact that he had to admit.
When it came to financial resources, the Zergs were not lacking in that aspect.
