Chapter 63
Wood Hill has been the patriarch of the royal insect clan for nearly fifty years.
His departure has caused the royal female and male insects to lose their backbone and become chaotic.
Therefore, Reese threw the young insects to Gaka early this morning and urged the male insects to go to the royal territory.
He Qin was reluctant and dragged his feet. He was dragged to the destination by Ryan, who was sent by the chief to "monitor".
"Everyone has learned about what Wood did through various channels. Now, only His Highness Green has the qualifications of the patriarch. Do you have any objections?" He Qin was not good at speaking and was too lazy to act, so Ryan had to act as his representative.
This meeting was an internal family meeting for all members of the royal family.
The position of the head of the royal family is not only an empty title, but also controls the military power of the royal family. Therefore, Patton may not trust any male insect to take up this position except for the simple-minded Green.
It was Patton's instruction to let Ryan, who has more social experience, represent He Qin to suppress the old-timers.
"But Green has just become an adult not long ago? There are many members of the royal family and the relationships are complicated. Can he take on the role?"
A petite male insect sat in his original position and discussed quietly with his male insect companions on the left and right for a while. He was pushed by two insect tribes to be the representative and stupidly raised such a sharp question.
Ryan could tell at a glance that this was the question the other two insects wanted to ask, and this guy was just a shield.
"His Highness Green has His Highness Allen's blood flowing in his veins, and he just took over the Eagle Dog Unit that His Highness Allen left for him. Doesn't he have the qualifications?" Ryan's eyes flickered over the other two male insects who were stirring up trouble.
In addition to the bloodline issue that the male insects present could not compare to or ignore, there was another thing that shocked the male insects.
That was that Green, who was in his twenties, could actually make the Eagle Dog Unit return to the Empire.
The Eagle-Dog Force is an invincible private army organized by His Highness Allen. As long as it is a mission assigned by His Highness Allen, no matter how difficult the mission is, they can complete it. And under the leadership of His Highness Allen, this force has maintained an excellent record of one against a hundred and ten wins on the battlefield.
In the hearts of the Empire's insect race, the appearance of this force has always represented victory.
But since His Highness Allen suffered an accident, the Eagle-Dog Force disappeared in the Empire except for appearing once at His Highness's funeral.
No trace has been left, and no one knows where this group of warriors forgotten by life and death have gone.
Later, there was a legend that this force was born because of His Highness Allen, and died because of His Highness Allen.
"What? Didn't the Eagle-Dog Force disband long ago? How is it possible?"
There was a commotion in the room.
"Rice, go and call Ling in." He Qin, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
Hearing the male insect's voice, the female insect standing in the corner, holding a saber and exuding a cold aura, only nodded her head to her male master, and there was no place for other male insects in her eyes.
"His Highness Green asked you to come in, Mr. Ling." Reese walked up to the female insect leaning against the wall, puffing smoke from her mouth.
Regardless of his status, Mr. Ling has led a dozen troops to infiltrate the enemy many times, destroying important weapons of the enemy army, and successfully turning the situation of the war many times.
Reese respects this senior who has made many military achievements.
The female insect pinched off the cigarette in her hand and carefully tidied her appearance.
It must be those old and pedantic male insects who are not dead, and they have evil intentions again. After not seeing each other for many years, they are still the same, used to ganging up to bully the kind male insects.
With him around, how can I let His Highness Green suffer injustice.
The female insect raised her eyebrows and pushed the door open with murderous intent.
With a "bang", the male insect who was making trouble was frightened and shrank under the table at the same time.
"Who said that my young master is not qualified to take over as the patriarch? He is not qualified, do you have the qualifications?" The leader of the Eagle Dog Corps is known to be irritable.
He pulled out the rifle on his waist, buckled the safety bolt, and swept 360 degrees.
"Zero, Mr. Zero, we are old acquaintances, why don't we sit down and have a chat? You should put this guy away first."
"Yes, you should put away your weapon first, it would be bad if it accidentally fired and hurt His Highness Green."
The male insects were extremely frightened, and they restrained their momentum of not stopping until they got an answer, and spoke up to persuade him.
There is probably only this female insect in the whole empire who can shoot at male insects at will and no one can punish her.
But this person only obeys His Highness Allen's orders, and now probably only obeys His Highness Green.
"Mr. Zero, put away your guns. They will say that I asked someone to hold a gun to force them to admit it. That's not good."
Under the stiff smiles of the crowd, the female insect with a fierce look put away her weapon and returned to the little male insect, obviously looking like a supporter.
Some people will only think that you are easy to bully if you persuade them with kind words. Once they meet a fierce person, they will be honest and dare not cause trouble.
"If everyone has no questions, please sign your names on these documents. I will make multiple copies of the documents and keep them in the chief's private safe. From this moment on, Green Hill is the patriarch leading the royal family. I hope you will cooperate with me in the future." Ryan handed a thick stack of documents to the male insects present in batches.
A few male insects were still unwilling to give up and seemed to want to raise objections, but they were glared at by the leader of the Hawk-Dog Force with a murderous look, and their tongues instantly became tied, and they signed the agreement quietly.
Ryan needed to report the results of today's meeting to Patton, and left in a hurry after the meeting.
"Mr. Ling, do you think the royal family has too many 'idle people'?" He Qin flipped through the list of royal positions in his hand, and his brows furrowed more and more.
Now is a peaceful time, and many positions from the war era are still retained, and there is more than one female insect in those positions. This is obviously a random excuse to provide the royal children with generous living expenses.
During the time when Wood was the patriarch, the royal family seemed to be calm, but it was all smoothed out with the funds that Wood had embezzled from other places.
These idle nobles would not cause trouble for Wood as long as they had money and could do what they wanted.
"What do you mean?" Ling respected He Qin very much. His former master, His Highness Allen, had told him that if His Highness was gone, the Eagle Dog Corps would belong only to the little male insect. Ling regarded the little male insect who inherited His Highness Allen's bloodline as his current master.
"I want to reduce the positions within the royal family and send these idle female insects to various legions or other positions in the empire that are short of people."
He Qin would not go to great lengths to please these nobles like Wood did.
They have enjoyed themselves for decades, and it is time for them to step up and make some contributions to the people.
"These useless positions are indeed more than when His Highness Allen was in office. I think you are right. It doesn't matter, just do it. If there is any non-cooperation, leave it to me to solve it."
Ling is loyal and stubborn. If he recognizes his master, he will not doubt his master's decision. Even if He Qin said that he wanted Ling to kill the current chief, he would probably do it seriously.
"Reese, what do you think?"
He Qin could not judge whether his decision was good or bad from the mouth of Ling who blindly followed his orders.
"I think your decision is correct, Lord. If you want to carry it out, the Starry Night Army will definitely support you strongly."
He Qin supported his forehead. He forgot that the person in front of him was also his "die-hard fan" from another perspective.
It happened that many of the items that Uncle Lin left for him had not been sorted out. He Qin thought that today he would move the valuable and necessary items to the house in Area A, and find a way to deal with the others later.
"What is this?"
"Lord, this is the most valuable metal craft in the empire. I didn't expect it to be in Uncle Lin's room."
Is this ugly sculpture with no visible features still a valuable work of art? He Qin's head was full of question marks.
"What is this?" He Qin picked up a small notebook with many pictures scribbled on it, and there were also insect star characters next to the pictures.
"This is the combat skills and military formations of various planets? It must be something from your paternal father."
Reese held the book in his hands and carefully put it in his arms.
"What about this? It looks useless. Can I sell it for money?"
"My lord, this is one of the favorite accessories of His Highness Allen in the legend. It is also unique in the entire empire."
He Qin worked hard for a long time. My goodness, there is not a single item in this room that ordinary people would have. They are all precious items that are hard to find in the empire and even the entire universe.
In addition to a unit that the Zerg race is terrified of, there are also these rare treasures in the world.
How much inheritance did his dear fathers leave him?
"Forget it. These things are all treasures. I don't know how big a sensation they will cause if they are circulated in the market. Let's move them all home and put them away."
He Qin piled the things all over the floor. He accidentally stepped on a round bracelet. He Qin lost his balance and fell backwards.
Reese was a distance away from him. No matter how fast he ran, he couldn't catch up with the male insect.
"Bang", the body of the 1.80-meter-tall guy fell to the floor, and the sound was not small.
"Ugh, it hurts."
"Master Xiong, are you okay? Move your elbow. Is there any sign of bone fracture?"
He Qin subconsciously propped his elbow on the ground. If it was an ordinary male insect, the bones in his hand would be either broken or comminuted.
Reese was afraid that the male insect had other injuries, so he only let He Qin twist his wrist.
Fortunately, his wrists were flexible and it looked like there was no big problem.
"Master Xiong, can you stand up?"
"Well, my butt hurts." He Qin tried to move, but maybe he fell too hard and couldn't stand up for a while.
"Did you hurt your tailbone?" Reese was worried. Master Xiong hadn't suffered any injuries since he returned to the Zerg Clan.
It was all his fault for not taking good care of Master Xiong.
"Well, it's not a bone injury, it seems like something is pressed?"
Reese must have been scared. He Qin endured the pain and hurriedly explained. As
he spoke, He Qin took out a piece of emerald green stone from under his butt. There was a round hole on the stone.
But, does the shape of the hole look familiar?
