Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Orcs attracted by male insects?

The blond man was struggling desperately on the ground, wailing in pain. Perhaps because he was an orc, his human palms turned into the huge claws of a lion, and a thick tail appeared behind him.

The tip of the tail with a ball of fur kept swinging in the air, occasionally hitting the ground, making a loud noise.

Seeing the man's condition getting worse, Gal was so anxious that he was running around in the room, "Ah Mo, Ah Mo, what happened to him?"

The artificial intelligence, which appeared in the form of a small robot, scanned the man on the ground again.

"Your Highness, you seem to have opened a kind of contract with this beastman, a slave contract."

A-Mo's way of addressing the blond man changed from "a strange life form" to "Mr. Beast".

As the origin of this battleship, everything in this room is under its attention. Amo also knows that the orcs and his master have reached some kind of cooperation agreement.

"What contract?" Gal was completely confused.

He had just accepted the reality that he had become an alien, with high technology he had never seen before and other cosmic races he had never heard of. At least these concepts had appeared in the research and speculation of humans on Earth.

What kind of magical story would the slave contract appear in?

"The slave contract is a contract that can only be opened by the spiritual power stored in the male insect's insect pattern. It is a special case for male insects. In the exclusive school for male insects on the capital star of the empire, male insects can learn how to use insect patterns from their predecessors."

"Depending on the male insect's mental strength, the species that can be contracted with it will vary. Many immature male insects will use minerals that store energy to increase the success rate of the contract."

"However, Your Highness, you are able to tame the naturally proud beastmen, and your potential is unlimited."

"Your Highness, losing you is a great loss to the empire. I believe that if His Majesty the Insect Emperor knew this news, he would regret his decision."

Artificial intelligence is also good at flattering people. The continuous compliments gave Gal a headache.

It seems that sometimes it is not good for machines to be too intelligent.

Gal ordered, "Okay, shut up and don't pass the news here to the Zerg."

"Yes, your highness."

The little robot was frightened by the angry male insect and trembled with its two mechanical arms covering its mouth tightly.

Although that's not where the robot makes its voice.

"Now, tell me how to fix this... slave contract."

As a child who grew up in a country that had long since gotten rid of slavery, Gal felt a strong sense of shame when he uttered the term "slave indenture."

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, Amo doesn't know." The little robot lowered its head like a child who had made a mistake.

"How could you not know?"

Isn't this guy an artificial intelligence created by an advanced civilization? Isn't he a mobile encyclopedia that claims to know everything about the Zerg?

"Your Highness, during the cosmic turbulence that the Reda experienced last time, Amo was affected and lost some of his data."

The surface damage to the battleship Reda can be restored by the battleship's repair function, but the damage to the origin is irreversible, and the loss of files is considered a small loss.

"Well, let's put the matter of cancelling the contract aside for now." Gal, "He looks quite painful, will anything happen to him?"

If he keeps struggling like this, the wounds on the man's body will surely be torn again. And if he keeps wailing like this, won't he get dehydrated?

Amo was still confident about this topic. "No, it's just that the slave contract has a greater effect on the slaves, and Mr. Beastman is also a little resistant. After about half a cycle, the contract will calm down."

A slave contract is a mental bond that a master uses on a slave.

Most male insects target female insects, so they don't have to worry about being hurt by the powerful attacking power of female insects, and male insects are more willing to approach female insects with strong fighting power.

From the perspective of higher insects whose goal is reproduction, this kind of contract is a good thing because it can increase the birth rate of larvae.

The country even opened a special course to teach male insects how to use their mental power to imprint slave contracts of different effects on female insects.

As Amo said, as time went by, the orcs gradually calmed down.

The skin no longer turned red, and the lion's claws, tail, and mane gradually retracted.

Gal, squatting on the plush carpet, shook his numb calves and moved forward cautiously.

"Angus, are you, are you okay?" Gal asked tentatively.

The orc paralyzed on the ground was gasping for breath. He was tall and muscular, and looked like a small mountain from a distance.

"A-Mr. Angus?"

Thinking that the man's miserable condition was not caused by him, Gal felt guilty and his voice became softer.

Angus felt all the strength being drained from his body, and after a while he opened his mouth, "You, what did you do to me?" The voice that should have been as domineering as a king was now filled with fatigue.

His beastly intuition told him that his recent experience seemed to be a turning point in his long life.

Gal didn't know how to tell the man he had just met the truth, and he looked embarrassed. "Uh, sorry, it seems like we have reached some kind of agreement."

Contract, yes, when Angus was confused, he seemed to have vaguely heard the conversation between the male insect and the robot.

"Slave contract!!!" A strong sense of humiliation penetrated the proud Lion King.

Angus found that his body could no longer move according to his thoughts.

He now wanted nothing more than to pounce forward and use his sharp claws to pierce the male insect that had dared to deceive him.

But this thought just flashed through his mind and flew back to where it was. His hands and feet seemed to be tied up by a pair of handcuffs and he couldn't move.

This method is a special case for the males of the higher Zerg. Except for the females, most of the males who are bound by the contract are interstellar criminals or prisoners of war captured by the Zerg on the battlefield.

This method is a contempt and insult to one's personality.

He, Angus, could die on the battlefield, could die under artillery fire, but he could never become an appendage of life and live in the universe.

"You, just kill me. No matter what you want to use me for, I won't do as you wish." Angus talked about his own death calmly, his beastly eyes full of determination to die bravely.

"Angus, don't be so radical."

"Sit down first." Gal waved his hand and asked the small robot to move two chairs. The orc, who was still shivering all over, finally had a place to rest.

Perhaps due to the influence of the slave contract, Angus' muscles reacted almost instantly. He followed the male insect's instructions and sat obediently on the chair behind him.

"What are you doing?" The beastman's pupils shrank visibly, which is a sign that cats show when they are nervous.

Gal forced a smile helplessly.

It is normal for others to misunderstand what I do. If I put myself in their shoes, and think about it, if I were the unlucky one who became a slave to others for no reason...

"First of all, I really didn't intend to open this contract." Gal caught the orc's sneer, "Originally, I didn't want to tell this secret. It involves my personal safety..."

"I suffered a blow to the head during the space shock and lost my memory. All the information I know is from the artificial intelligence on this battleship. I only learned about the fact that the male insect's mental power can activate the slave contract not long ago."

"Mr. Angus, I will take responsibility for the effort contract that I accidentally opened. I will definitely find a way to help you unlock the contract."

But Angus could no longer trust the beautiful male insect in front of him. "You can say whatever you want."

Gal, "Amo, show my scan report to Mr. Angus."

Even if the words in the report were not credible, Angus, who had learned basic medical knowledge in the military, could analyze it himself and find out that the male insect's brain had indeed suffered a severe blow.

"Amo, is there any way to cancel the contract?"

The little robot's body emitted the sound of a computer running. "Only the senior professors of the Capital Star Male Insect School know how to cancel the contract. However, you have been expelled from the Capital Star by the Insect King."

It seems that there is no way to resolve the slave contract for the time being.

Cal and Angus' faces turned as black as the bottom of the pot.

"I would never treat Mr. Angus as an unequal party."

Gal put his thumb inward, put his four fingers together, and pointed his fingers upward, posing an oath, "I will find a way to resolve the contract and set Mr. Angus free as soon as possible."

Gal took the initiative to walk in front of the orc and put the orc's sharp claws on his vulnerable neck, as if to show his sincerity and determination with this action.

"Words mean nothing. Angus, just wait and see what I do next."

The pretty and delicate little deer held its head high in the sun, its black eyes dotted with sparkling spots of light.

Angus' heart was pounding.

This must be the effect of the contract. How could the orcs be attracted to the male insects?

As he thought this, his eyes could not move away from the male insect for a long time.
