"You...what do you mean?"
The regent moved his body to let Bai Yuzhi out of the way, completely exposed to the sight of the three drones in front of him.
She didn't care, but it was obvious that Vol'Arthur was frightened.
Vole Arthur also deliberately avoided looking into the eyes of the Regent. His handsome face turned as red as an apple under Bai Yuzhi's gaze. He avoided Bai Yuzhi's gaze and asked the Regent in a panic.
He didn't use any honorific title, and Bai Yuzhi just realized that he hadn't asked that person's name for such a long time.
Compared to Vol'Arthur, Ogus and another Danqie Bee elder named Hoss were considered steady, but they were also shocked by the Regent's straightforward answer.
In their view, such a solemn introduction represented the Regent's approval.
Huos didn't see Bai Yuzhi's appearance clearly. He was filled with indignation because of Fei Ji—
"Your Excellency, Regent, are you planning to give up Feiji? Give up the queen bee we've cultivated for so long?"
This is not to say that Huos has pledged his loyalty to Fei Ji. Huos is a very rational person. He was once called a "freak" because of his excessive rationality.
As early as when the previous generation of queen bee was in office, Hoss had often "disobeyed" the queen bee's orders, and all his decisions were for the future of the entire bee clan.
To be fair, if the Regent was not much more powerful than him, perhaps Hoss would be more suitable to be a decision-maker of the Bee Tribe.
The reason why he reacted so strongly was simply because he didn't think highly of Bai Yuzhi, the queen bee who had once been exiled.
"No," the Regent said, his lips slightly parted. Without a trace of hesitation, he directly denied Huos's doubts in a cold voice: "I have not denied any of His Highness, nor do I have the qualifications to do so."
Hoss was silent.
Indeed, even the regent does not have the authority to directly decide the queen bee's succession rights.
"So what should we do?"
Ogus looked at the Regent. He was more perceptive than anyone else. A person might be able to control his expression and language, but it was difficult to control his subconscious body movements.
From the very beginning, Ogus doubted whether the seemingly fair and just Regent could still maintain his objectivity and calmness.
Because more than once, his body tilted slightly backward, and this unnatural arc allowed him to get closer to the person behind him.
Bai Yuzhi also noticed this, but she did not notice any clues from the body movements. Instead, she once again caught the fragrance that she had once felt in her spiritual sea from the distance between her and the person in front of her getting closer and closer.
And the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger.
She took a deep breath, and after confirming that her feeling was correct, she felt a little surprised.
However, apart from Bai Yuzhi himself, it seemed that no one else present noticed this subtle sweetness.
Including the owner of this smell.
He was still confronting the three elders in a serious manner.
"Survival of the fittest."
These four words subtly revealed his decision.
Now it is impossible to change the fact that the two female eggs matured and were born at the same time. Therefore, in order to ensure the unity of the bee colony, one must be selected from them as the queen bee. The selected one should naturally have stronger strength.
The definition of "stronger" is also very simple. The loyalty of the bee clan is the best way for a queen bee to prove her strength.
The three of them understood the regent's implication.
Huos regained his initial composure. "Your Excellency is saying that we should choose for ourselves? That sounds fair, but it would take too long."
This is not a peaceful time. The Zerg are eyeing us covetously. It can be seen from the last surprise attack that the Zerg have already known the news that the bee tribe has welcomed a new queen, and it is hard to say when they will send troops to attack.
If no results were reached before the Zerg invasion, the split in the hive population caused by having two queens would likely lead to huge consequences.
This statement was supported by Vol'Arthur and Ogus.
Ogus added: "And it's hard not to cause premature divisions in this way."
After all, once a bee pledges his loyalty, it cannot be easily changed. No matter who wins or loses, at least half of the losses will be incurred.
As for the possibility that one of the queen bees would achieve an overwhelming victory, they never considered it.
How is that possible?
Seeing that the "negotiation" had reached a stalemate, Bai Yuzhi finally spoke slowly.
She had long known that the bees who had experienced the oppression of the Zerg would more or less have a desire for stability, and they would definitely hesitate as to whether or not to take the risk.
But she had already thought of a coping strategy.
Since everyone is worried about causing losses, then take a method that will definitely not cause any harm.
There is a method that is beneficial to any bee species and has no harm.
Bai Yuzhi was about to speak when he heard a sudden alert roar from afar.
"Vol Arthur? Ogus? What are you doing?! Princess Feiji's situation has changed, return immediately!"
It was the chief elder of the Noth Bee Clan who had waited for a long time but still saw the other three people not return.
