"Come on! Put away your victim face," Green's cold sarcasm interjected appropriately. He was, at this moment, unusually expressionless, his voice, baring only the irony, which accentuated his unusual indifference. "Without knowing the stance and political conditions of a nation, you used those disloyal people you didn't want to deal with as a testing ground, even ready to discard them at any moment. You've already found an excuse, whether it's war or a pretext for shirking responsibility, and finally, you even reached out to children. You don't really think you're innocent, do you?"

"Madman?" Green repeated the other person's words, looking at the other person's increasingly ugly expression, without any intention of saving any mercy.

Chunchun also shut his mouth appropriately.

After all, it has never been as good as Green in using words to bully others or even make them angry to death.

"You call us crazy. In fact, you are a madman yourself, just not as crazy as us. This is the price you should pay. Don't think you can get away with it with a so-called insignificant test. Once you discover the emptiness of this dynasty, you will launch a ruthless attack."

Green took a scorching step forward, forcing the opponent to step back.

"Your so-called madness is based on the premise that you directly charged in with a large number of manpower without even probing us, without knowing our position or strength. But in fact, I don't think you can organize an effective counterattack. Your defeat is completely predictable."

"I quite like some of these quotes. Ants always think they can challenge the dragon's authority, but because they are so small, they never get a complete glimpse of its appearance. The dragon can't see the whole ant either, because the ant is so tiny that it can't tell the difference. All it needs to do is gently crush it, and that's enough."

When he said this, Green laughed nervously again, not in a hysterical way, but rather in a light and cheerful way.

"Okay, come on, say your last words, leave them for this country. Even if everything becomes history and you are completely forgotten, maybe as long as your words are interesting enough, there will always be people who will remember you."

In Green's view, the other country is lighter than a sentence, weightless and meaningless.

340 It's all over

The Queen was no fool, she could sense the naked humiliation in these words, which was a naked trampling on her who had always been proud.

But she could do nothing, her resistance had been exhausted in this war.

"You win." Her voice suddenly sounded tired, and if it weren't for the silence, it would have been inaudible. "We surrender unconditionally, even if it means you take my life. I only ask that you preserve my country and allow me to choose the next emperor. If you find her a nuisance, I will relocate my entire clan, taking the surviving members, to a place where we can no longer see her."

"Are you kidding me? Or do you think you can still make any demands?" Green's tone wasn't as aggressive as it had been at the beginning, but it certainly wasn't any better. "Listen, you have no right to make any demands. You can only passively accept your fate, and destruction will be your only destination."

The growth of the nightmare flame requires nourishment, and he doesn't need a kingdom filled with hatred to survive. Eradicating the roots is the most common requirement. What's more, the other party has offended his father, so there is no room for negotiation from the beginning.

Even if his father himself didn't care, Green didn't mind teaching these idiots a lesson. It was already annoying enough to face that bastard Chunchun and those disgusting nobles, but the other party actually dared to attack his father. Even if he was cut into pieces, it would not be enough to erase their disrespect.

"Forget about the nation or individuals. Your entire race has no reason to exist. Do you understand? You ignorant fool."

Such unscrupulous ridicule made the other party completely collapse, especially when there was no hope at all, then no matter what they did, they would always have a desperate attitude.

But perhaps she had said everything she needed to say before, and no matter what she said now, it would only lead to an even sharper counterattack. So she could only stare at the ruins beneath her feet in despair, wondering how high her chances of success were in committing suicide. At least this way she might be able to leave in a more dignified manner and with less pain.

Little Red Riding Hood yawned. She didn't quite understand this kind of negotiation and had no interest in it. She just wanted to go back quickly and continue looking for the truth, but unfortunately, the task bar showed that it was not completed, so she still needed to wait here for a while.

Maybe there is a chance to ask group members for help, which may be a better prospect than being so reckless.

Little Red Riding Hood watched the war, recalled all the easy times, and looked at the knights whose armor was stained with transparent milky white blood, and her opinion changed a lot involuntarily.

Maybe a little trust wouldn't be such a bad thing?

But the next moment, she had to shout to Green who was about to take action, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't do it yet."

Green turned around in confusion and frowned with some annoyance. He didn't have much impression of this guy, neither good nor bad. Anyway, as long as he didn't come to disturb his father, he didn't bother to pay attention to such a nobody.

But the other party's commanding tone made him feel very uncomfortable. No one except his father could give him orders, so he snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction, but still withdrew his hand.

Although he didn't know how his father found so many strange friends, it didn't prevent him from making his own judgment.

Her father pays great attention to those annoying friends, so he naturally has to be careful. He doesn't want to make his father unhappy, but he won't stop for too long. If his father still doesn't express his attitude, then Green will naturally take this as a tacit agreement and continue to wave his hand to chop it off.

[withdraw troops]

The ghost looking in the distance calmly raised the sign. These two words were so conspicuous in the eyes of Chunchun and Green that no matter how unwilling Green was, he would not do anything unnecessary.

Following a pure command, they left in unison without saying a word.

Green was too lazy to say anything more to the queen who had lost all her fighting spirit and was determined to die. Saying anything would just be a waste of time.

As for the ghost's sudden decision to withdraw the troops, it was naturally not its own idea. If it simply wanted to kill, then it would kill. The ghost itself had no ill will or goodwill towards this country. It did not care about the life or death of this country at all, so it just calmly watched the turbulent excitement.

So the idea of ​​withdrawing the troops was actually Tony Stark's request.

Tony Stark, who was watching the live broadcast the entire time, couldn't help but stand up when he saw Green asking the other party to leave a last message.

He absolutely could not accept the wanton slaughter of a country's lives with such a capricious reason. Tony Stark, who had barely pieced together all the clues and the truth based on their words, believed that this country had already paid a sufficient price and should not continue to implicate innocent people.

He also understood that ghosts didn't care about such things, but as long as someone in the chat group begged, the ghost would definitely not refuse or ignore it.

Of course, when discussing this matter with the ghost, Tony Stark did have some tentative thoughts.

He was eager to know the status of the ghost, and also wanted to use this method to create a gap between the ghost and the so-called God of the Void.

After all, their two orders were completely conflicting at this moment. No, not completely, because he didn't know what kind of instructions the so-called God of the Void had issued. Maybe it was just a vague lesson for them.

In the end, just as he expected, the ghost did not reject his request at all, and did not even think about it or give it any more thought, which made Tony Stark feel a little guilty.

Even if you are doing it for the good of your friend, you should not give opinions on your own.

But no matter what, he also learned a lot of things. Perhaps the status of the ghost is even higher than that of Purity and Green. Then, the God of the Void may have begun to fear it and want to use this power to bind the other party firmly to his side.

However, ghosts themselves are creatures without desires, or their desires are extremely limited. Ghosts may not care about the so-called authority like the Pope above their heads. Otherwise, the other party probably would not resort to such a desperate measure to let Green and Pure slowly erode the ghosts.

Tony Stark was writing furiously as he took notes. If he could see this diary again one day in the future, he would probably be so ashamed that he would throw it into the fire.

The war ended, and the whole place was in ruins. The queen, who had prepared herself for death, looked at herself intact and found it incredible and unreasonable. But the next moment she no longer thought about it. She just wanted to take the few remaining tribesmen and migrate quickly, as far away from those lunatics as possible.

341 Where Should They Go? (Part )

"There's nothing here anymore."

The once graceful and elegant queen now sat on the ruins, covered in dust, muttering to herself in a daze.

This place was a prosperous country a day ago, but now only some ruins remain.

"No, there are still surviving members of our tribe here, and there is still hope that our tribe still exists."

A familiar voice came from behind her, and she turned around with some surprise.

"tutor!"

"Are you surprised I'm still alive?"

An old-looking bug slowly walked out from the shadow of the ruins. Its long white beard was twisted into uneven shapes by something unknown, and several pieces of white silk were entangled in its tightly clenched old and bony knuckles.

It seems that his heart is far less calm than he appears.

"Yes, I'm also quite surprised I'm still alive. I almost thought I was doomed along with this kingdom. White or red spikes pierced through the ground, the walls began to shatter with strange crackling sounds, and the buildings collapsed one after another. The guards who were guarding me were all trapped under the rubble, but it was an old man like me who crawled out. Don't you think so?"

"how come?"

The Queen subconsciously denied it. She still respected this so-called mentor. In her mind, he would always be her elder.

"Of course I'm happy that you're still alive, mentor. After all, you're one of the few relatives I have left."

When hearing the word "relatives", the old insect looked at the other party and sighed deeply.

"Then why didn't you listen to me?"

There are not many complaints, only a deep tiredness.

The country has fallen to this state today, half of which is the other party's responsibility, and half of which is my own. If I had not failed to teach the other party well, how could it have ended up like this?

"Mentor..." The Queen wanted to say something, but when she saw the mentor raised his hand and swayed weakly in the wind, she stopped talking.

This was simply unimaginable in the past. An emperor who was always self-centered and no one dared to refute or disobey him would inevitably go down the path of tyranny no matter how wise he was. In addition, the area was closed and there was no foreign traffic, which further encouraged this unscrupulous arrogance. Therefore, those who disobeyed her would cause her great disgust. Therefore, her mentor was thrown into prison before he could even finish a complete piece of advice.

But who could be so arrogant towards such a ruin now? She had lost all her arrogance.

"What are you going to do next?"

The old bug asked slowly, loosening his clenched fist and letting the broken pale beard slide completely off his hand.

When the queen heard this question, she couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.

She seemed to be back to that day.

At that time, the city was not that big, and it was not even here. Everything was terrible, not much better than it is now. Famine and panic about seeing no hope in life filled the tribe. There was no betrayal by the tribe members, but there were tribe members who would hang themselves to death at any time. Faced with a hopeless life, they decisively chose to end it and escape.

At that time, the kingdom was on the verge of collapse and dissolution at any time, and the throne was a hot potato. At that time, her mentor stood beside the throne and looked at her gently.

Her mentor personally put a crown on her head. It was not the luxurious one she was wearing now, but a tattered crown made of iron covered with mottled rust. The strong smell of rust even drifted into her nostrils. As for where the crown was now, she herself could not remember, as if it had been forgotten along with those arduous years.

At that time, the other party asked the same question as now.

"What are you going to do next?"

She was still a little uneasy at the time, but the heavy responsibility on her shoulders told her that she had no time to hesitate or think. The kingdom was already standing on the edge of a cliff in an extremely dangerous situation. Just one more gust of wind would cause it to collapse completely.

So she quickly calmed down, holding the broken sword tightly, wearing the broken armor, and then answered firmly.

"Migration."

She was leaving the land where they had lived for generations but which was now barren and uninhabitable. This was an extremely bold change.

Without knowing the situation, the direction, or the destination, they rushed into the surging sandstorm and paid a bloody price. At least half of the tribe members were left on the migration road forever, but the price they paid was worth it.

They finally found a fertile land, which was here, and finally took root here. However, even the most fertile land will lose its fertility due to poor management. They were almost about to completely squeeze out the value of the land, otherwise they would not have set their sights on the new kingdom.

What was unexpected was that before the next plan could be made, a painful price had already been paid.

She looked at her mentor hesitantly. Too much comfort had almost eroded her wisdom, so she ultimately gave the same answer. "Migration?"

But this time the answer obviously did not satisfy the tutor. She looked at the tutor's face and saw visible disappointment instead of the appreciative smile she had shown before.

"No." The mentor shook his head again. "We seek peace. We seek peace with that prosperous kingdom."

However, this statement made the queen tremble uncontrollably.

"No, no, no!" She screamed at the top of her lungs without any dignity, filled with lingering fear. Her rationality, which had been close to calming, collapsed completely again. Those scenes had completely devastated her.

"We can go now. Let's go. If we had come here, we would have found a better land! Right? We can definitely find a better land. We don't need to fight monsters like that. We will definitely be killed! We will definitely be killed! Then it will be completely over, everything is over, everything is over."

The mentor looked at the screaming girl. Perhaps she was too old to be that girl, but he still couldn't help but look at her with the same eyes as before, looking at the well-behaved yet courageous girl.

He had hoped countless times that a bug would come to curb her arrogance, to let her know that not everything could go according to her wishes, and that the obedience of her race was because she deserved it, not because it was a matter of course. But now he saw that she had completely lost her arrogance and even become cowardly.

He could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

He watched the other person screaming and crying hysterically without any intention of comforting her.

He could not comfort her, nor should he comfort her. After all, she was still the queen of this country, a queen who was responsible for the rise and fall of a country and the survival of a race. She had to overcome this hurdle on her own, because what she carried on her shoulders did not allow her to be weak.

342 Where Should They Go? (Part )

The crying didn't last long, and even stopped very quickly.

She ignored the tears on her face, as if she had vented all the grievances and distress, and regained her composure.

Of course, only she herself knew that the despair in her heart was almost overflowing, but what was the use of despair? The facts that had happened would not be diminished in the slightest.

So she forced herself to calm down and looked at her mentor.

"what should I do?"

The Queen knew very well that her mentor probably had his own thoughts in mind for asking this question. He had always been the wisest one in the tribe, but due to his status, he had never been able to obtain any rights. Even his noble status was a powerless noble promoted by the Queen as an exception. Apart from allowing him to refuse the orders of any other nobles, it was meaningless. He could not command any commoner, so he placed all his hopes on her.

What's more, the other party has already expressed his or her thoughts, and what I said only means that I will obey the other party's instructions and no longer resist.

The mentor was silent for a moment, thinking back to the argument that had happened this morning. He always felt the irony was so funny, but he truly loved this tribe, and this girl who was standing still. "I told you to go find them. You should understand."

He stroked his beard out of habit, and felt even more melancholy when he found that his beard was shorter.

Ouch, my beard.

To be honest, he still cherishes his beard and feels sorry for it, but now is not the time to feel sorry for it.

So he began to tell the story slowly again.

"We've already groped our way through this barren land. Where else can we go? We've already explored the land over there, and it's so barren that it can barely grow any food. How can we continue on into the unknown? We've sent soldiers to explore before, but they were always driven back by the increasingly violent sandstorms. The winds completely stopped us in our tracks, and the only place with weaker winds is through that country's territory."

"Migrate from that kingdom's territory." He paused, his tone a little more emphatically, gesturing at the Zerg huddled together for warmth. "Do you think they'll allow us to lead our Zerg out of their territory? Even if we're just remnants, even if we're so weak they wouldn't even take us seriously, they won't allow it."

"Because this is a provocation, a naked provocation. I don't think we can escape their pursuit unless we are willing to abandon the vast majority of our race. If that happens, this race may be completely dispersed."

When the queen heard this, she did not refute anything. She just lowered her head in silence. After a moment, she raised her head and continued what the other party had not finished.

"So we need to surrender to them, or rather, completely submit. Whether it's seeking a way to escape or allowing us to continue to survive in this difficult place, we must obtain their consent. Otherwise, there is only one way out, which is death."

When she said this, the Queen's voice trembled a little, as if she was sad about her miserable future.
