Although Lieutenant General Anderson had thought that the other party might ask for an exorbitant amount of money, the amount of money Tilia asked for exceeded his expectations.

Five hundred thousand tons of element zero!

If it was five tons, Lieutenant General Anderson might be able to consider it, but five hundred thousand... this is simply impossible!

Element zero is the scarcest, most expensive, and most indispensable precious element in the universe. If calculated in star coins, the price of one gram of element zero is around tens of thousands of star coins.

The reason is simple. Element zero is the most important raw material that is indispensable for the development of technology by all current civilizations. However, this raw material is quite rare. Sometimes, only a small amount of element zero can be found on a planet in a galaxy. Because of this, all civilizations attach great importance to element zero.

Anderson was only a lieutenant general, and he had no idea how much element zero the Star Alliance had, but no matter how much, it couldn't be 500,000 tons...

"So how much can you give?"

Facing Anderson's roar, Tilia did not change at all, still smiling and looking at the black uncle in front of her. In fact, the reason why she asked for such a high price was because of the instruction given to her by Fang Zheng before she left, which was - the resource exchange support plan!

You have to know that in order to fight against the Reapers, Fang Zheng sent out ten full-strength flagship fleets at once, and these fleets consume resources to maintain. At present, Fang Zheng's dimensional points have not been replenished, which can be said to be a little less, and the loss inside the embankment is compensated outside the embankment. Fang Zheng must find a new source of dimensional points exchange. Fortunately, he really found it!

The element zero in this world, like the spirit crystal in the main world, can satisfy Fang Zheng's requirement to exchange for dimensional points!

So the next step was easy. Indeed, the production of element zero was extremely scarce, but was this difficult for Fang Zheng?

If we can't find it ourselves, we can get it from others.

Of course, as a lawful good paladin, Fang Zheng would not rob, but there should always be rewards for bravery. This is not extortion, it is promoting social customs, maintaining social order, and advocating justice!

Otherwise, you see, the brave men sacrificed so much, but there was no compensation at all, how can this be justified? A lawful good paladin cannot sit idly by and watch this evil trend grow!

Promoting justice is everyone’s responsibility, let’s start with me!

Besides, is 500,000 tons a lot? Fang Zheng used the Whispering Volume to investigate, and the entire Star Alliance currently has a million tons of element zero in stock! It's already very conscientious for me to only take half of it!

Originally, Fang Zheng was planning to take all of them, but then he thought that if the Star Alliance suspected how he knew the detailed inventory figures, it would be troublesome. After all, Element Zero was a very high-end strategic resource, and the inventory of this kind of thing was a secret to all forces.

After thinking it over, Fang Zheng reluctantly reduced it by half. First, the Star Alliance was also human, so he had to give them some face and discount for the sake of their fellow countrymen. Second, the Star Alliance entered the universe relatively late, so the amount of element zero they collected was not that much. Even if they wanted to ask for a lot, they had to find those races that entered the universe earlier and collected more element zero.

For example, the Smurfs, the Asari, etc...

"Well...if it's fifty kilograms..."

Fortunately, Anderson is also a lieutenant general and knows a little information about this. He knows that there is a warehouse near the Star Alliance headquarters that specializes in storing element zero. Of course, logically speaking, he is not qualified to interfere with such materials, but what period is it now? The entire Star Alliance headquarters is destroyed. Does Anderson still care about this?

Not to mention the Star Alliance, I'm afraid the entire human race is going to be doomed. There's no use keeping this element zero. If we don't use it now, are we going to save it for the New Year?

"Fifty kilograms... Then, we can only help you conquer this city."

After hearing Anderson's answer, Tilia thought about it for a moment and then gave her answer. After hearing Tilia's answer, Anderson couldn't help but curl his lips.

Conquer this city? Don't you see how many zombies and reapers there are in this city?

"If you can help us retake the city, then of course we will reward you."

Anderson is a soldier, but not a fool, so he added a small prerequisite when he spoke. After all, it's okay for the other party to ask for a huge amount of money, but at least they have to show enough strength. If this weird Tiandao Palace can really help them retake the city, then let alone fifty kilograms of element zero, he can even get fifty tons!

Of course, 500,000 tons...it depends on the situation.

"That's certainly no problem."

Tilia agreed immediately, but soon she smiled again.

"So... we need to build a base here, is that ok?"

"Of course you can!"

This time Anderson nodded without hesitation. After all, in his opinion, it was normal to have a base. Moreover, if Tiandao Palace built a base, it would mean that they could also be stationed here. At least... they could find a place to live!

However, what Anderson did not notice was that when the girls standing not far away heard his answer, they all showed a desperate expression.

"It's over. This old man has no idea what he said."

Eriri helplessly put her hand to her forehead and sighed, while Kuroneko shrugged.

"Foolish humans... They don't even know what kind of decision they have made..."

“Huff, huff, huff…”

And Kuang San just stood not far away with a smile on her face, not saying a word.

"In that case, time is running out, so let's get started now."

After getting Anderson's answer, Tilia's smile became even brighter. Then she turned around and whistled. Then Anderson and Shepard saw the strange monster's big mouth begin to wriggle again, and then a tall, weird-looking queen worm walked out of it!

"What kind of monster is this!"

Anderson, Shepard and other soldiers were shocked when they saw the Queen of Bugs in front of them. They raised their guns and aimed at the other party. Tilia stood by and looked at them with a smile.

"Like your Star Alliance, we in the Tiandao Palace also have specialized combat race units. These insect swarms are Brother's most powerful warriors. As long as they are here, the mere harvesters are no problem at all..."

Having said that, Tilia looked towards the Queen of Insects.

"You know what to do, don't you?"

"Of course...hiss..."

Hearing Tilia's order, the Queen of Insects nodded.

"The swarm... obey the orders of the Overmind... destroy... the enemy...!!"

Following the Queen's reply, the purple-red fungal carpet began to spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, all kinds of Zerg creatures poured out of the wormholes like a flood. The strangely shaped worker bees immediately began to hatch into various buildings, while the hydralisks and springtails turned into tides, covering every area in all directions.

“This… this is…”

Anderson and Shepard's scalps tingled as they watched the swarm of insects before them. They saw with their own eyes that a bug was hatching at a speed that they could never imagine, and it turned into a tall monster of flesh and blood. Then, a bunch of larvae swarmed out from the cavities around the monster, and these larvae immediately began to hatch into worker bees as soon as they appeared. Afterwards, they each found their own position and began to transform once again...

Seeing this, Shepard finally understood why Fang Zheng said this was Pandora's Box when he gave it to her... She thought it was a joke at the time!

"Report!"

Just as everyone was stunned, a soldier stumbled in.

"Corpse puppets and reapers appear again!"

"I see!!"

After hearing the report, Anderson nodded, and then he looked at Tilia.

"Miss Tilia, then..."

"Of course, since we have decided to cooperate, just leave the rest to us."

As she spoke, Tilia snapped her fingers, and at the same time, the Queen of Insects raised her head, looked forward, and gave orders.

"The swarm...attack!"
