The King's Game

Chapter 18 – [Black Knight XVIII]

Not all Zergs knew what their first Legion leader’s cub form looked like, but the combination of a silver tail and pale golden pupils were obvious.

Seeing these two signs clearly, there was silence in the large office space of the military building at this time.

“What’s the matter?” In view of the fact that the silver-haired Zerg, who should have responded, was still a cub, and did not seem to want to change back for the time being, Gu Huai spoke instead of the other.

The round cub held by the young zerg was very safe, and now nested in his arms as if he did not want to move. But after the young man spoke out, the cub also took a look at the communication image.

With a silver tail trailing behind him and golden vertical pupils looking at the communication device in his bedroom, the Chief of Staff quickly responded to the identity of the white plush creature in front of him.

But because of his reaction, he couldn’t speak now. The Zergs in the office room of the military headquarters were all the high-level Zergs of Tuther. Besides the personnel of the First Legion, there were now additional personnel from three other Legions, which was a phenomenon only after the end of the division.

While his colleagues were still in silence, the Chief of Staff paused and picked up the papers on his desk. “Well, ten minutes ago, we received an encrypted letter from the Suttasha Empire, which was basically an expression of their desire to continue expanding trade channels with us, with emphasis on the Thurton Ore. I was going to report this to you but my subordinates thought you were still asleep.”

“Several documents also need to be looked at by Lord Alvis.” Speaking of the name, the Chief of Staff’s expression changed slightly.

The high-ranking Zergs around were now looking at their Chief of staff with an implicit admiration. Facts have proven that it made sense for the other party to sit in the right hand position.

In this case, they really couldn’t keep their expressions on the right track.——

“Chirp.” A crisp, soft chirp came from the other end of the virtual screen. In the virtual image, all the Tuther executives in the office saw the cub in the arms of their king twisted his head back and refused to look at them. He leaned on the young king, leaving them with a slight waggling tail tip. Silver tail.

Their leader??

In addition to the Chief of Staff, the expression of Tuther’s high-level Zergs on the 19th floor of the military building was somewhat difficult to describe when they saw the round cub’s movements.

No doubt they were shocked by the fact that their leaders went back to his infancy stage. They were not surprised that he had such abilities, but they could not accept it calmly.

Gu Huai lowered his head to look at the white fur ball in his arms. Obviously, the other party did not consider the feelings of his subordinates at all, the Zerg was unwilling to change back. Gu Huai did not want to insist, “That would be good to report to me in detail.”

Speaking of Thurton ore, Gu Huai remembered that it was a unique resource in Tuther, which when smelted, a special black metal was extracted. The box used to hold energy crystals was made from it, but later it became a container for eggshell powder...

“Thurton ore, many races actually want it.”

Holding a plush cub, Gu Huai stroked his

the cub’s back, occasionally touching the cold silver tail.

It was not known how many ethnic groups were envious of this mineral, which was only found in one of the core areas of the Zergs. If the metal extracted from it was used to make warships, the defensive performance of the warships could be easily improved.

“Do you want me to raise you up?” It was funny that Gu Huai was now helpless and reluctant to leave the situation when the silver-haired zerg was stuck to their cub form. Unwilling to push the cub away, Gu Huai had to explore the other’s structure of small wings, while teasing him.

But when he heard the joke of the young zerg, the cold silver little tail behind the round pup suddenly shook aggressively, and the tip of the tail rose upward.

“Chirp! Chirp – “Apparently not taking the youth’s words as a joke, the cub was very enthusiastic, fluttering in the arms of the youth.

Gu Huai looked at this reaction a little stunned, this reaction... What was this expression of expectation?

In fact, there was no psychological barrier to such a cub. After a little hesitation, Gu Huai picked up the furball in his arms and looked around for a few seconds. Finally, he chose to kiss the round cub on its forehead.

But after the kiss, his lips were moist.

“Chirp.” At this height, the cub could lick the lips of the young zerg in front of him. After licking, it squinted its pupils like a cat.

Almost elevated.

“Is it tall enough?” Holding it in both hands, Gu Huai raised the ball above his head and put it down on his head after it chirped.

So when the Chief of Staff arrived at the Council Hall of the mansion, he saw this scene.

“Your Majesty...” The chief of staff looked over the young man’s head and lowered his head again when he saw the white plush Cub with its tail dangling slightly over the young king’s head.

The subordinate came to report on important things. Although reluctantly, Alves returned to his human form after jumping to the ground.

In human form, the silver-haired zerg’s eyes were cold, but his first action after changing back was to use his tail to circle the young zerg next to him. Unlike the cub form, after completing the first stage of growth, Alvis had long been in control of his tail.

Looking at the appearance, the contrast was too big. As a person who had directly seen the zerg’s two forms, Gu Huai feels the huge gap between them.

The Chief of Staff meticulously reported the contents of the encrypted letter, no matter what he had just seen and how much impact it had had on him.

“Wait for the other party to offer enough coins, as for the invitation...” Looking at the word “Gu Huai” appearing on the encrypted letter, Alves narrowed his vertical pupils slightly.

When he woke up, he became the richest in the whole planet and the most heated topic of discussion among the people on StarNet. However, Gu Huai did not know what happened after he fell asleep. He didn’t know what he was worth or what he had.

“Inviting me?” In the encrypted letter, he saw the words `Your Excellency Gu Huai’. Gu Huai asked with interest.

Mino, the capital of the Suttasha Empire founded by the goblins. It was said that the goblins were born smart businessmen. Gu Huai was curious about the Empire built by such a race.

“During your sleep, several leaders transfered ownership of their planet to your name, and then your subordinate entered the handover agreement into the StarNet. According to one of the lists, you are now the richest person on the planet.” The Chief of Staff gave a mild expression and then said, “Because of this, many people will know your name.”

As shrewd businessmen, the goblin race had always been flexible enough. Although they had never heard of the name ‘Gu Huai’ before, after gathering all kinds of information, they undoubtedly knew that the other party must occupy a very high position among the Zergs.

“This race is very smart.” Alvis lifted his eyelids and his voice showed a calm, undulating tone, which he said by looking at a line in the letter.

The chief of staff would hardly praise people, let alone other races, but he nodded along the line of sight of the silver-haired Zerg.

Your Excellency Gu Huai. This race’s attitude towards their King was indeed commendable, which could be regarded as clever and correct.

Gu Huai, the richest man in the intergalactic world, was confused. So how much was his family’s property now?

There were thousands of planets occupied by the Zergs, which were nothing else. The value of these thousands of planets was measured by the stars’ coins. When Gu Huai saw them, he felt as if he had seen countless zeros in front of his eyes.

“The formation of the escort, notify the other legions.” Just now, an expression of interest was seen on the youth’s face. Alves nodded to his Chief of staff and gave orders.

“Is that all right?” Gu Huai opened his mouth immediately afterwards. It was only a preliminary friendship with the Suttasha Empire. If accepting an invitation would embarrass the Zergs, it was better not to go.

“Chirp.” As he lowered his head and rubbed down the young man’s cheeks, the silver-haired Zerg showed his attitude.

The feeling of rubbing cheeks and the low chirps heard, Gu Huai said that he did not know which one to pay attention to first. From the chirp to the round cub who fluttered in his arms not long ago, Gu Huai unconsciously raised his hand to touch the zerg’s silver hair after being rubbed on his cheek.

Regardless of the subordinate’s whose expressions had changed, Alves further pecked the young man on the cheek, “Chirp.”

The chirp was so confusing that it didn’t even feel wrong to be pecked on the cheek. Gu Huai only stroked the silver hair a few more times.

“...” In silence, the Chief of Staff began to execute orders and contact the other legions.

The other three legion leaders were temporarily returning to their former capital stars, because they needed to consolidate their forces on their original capital stars and move all elite troops to Tuther.

Ending the split, the Zergs now had only one capital star, Tuther. The King lived on this planet, and the planet must have the strongest military power, no hesitation at all. The other three leaders of the Legions undoubtedly chose to bring all their elite troops over and settle down together in Tuther.

“By the way, when we go, take Shen Mu and Hammer with us.” He didn’t know what the two humans had been observing these days. Gu Huai wanted to take them to the Suttasha Empire so that they could clearly see how the Zergs and other races acted together.

“Ok.” Alves responded to the young man’s wishes in a low voice.

A letter was sent to the Suttasha Empire from the side of Tuther. It was a matter of no neglect to form a convoy, so the departure was pushed to the next day.

The mood of the two human officers was still very complicated. They were free to move in the core of the Zerg and were not attacked. It was totally unthinkable before.

They found that the ruthless race in their innate impression was not much different from the ordinary human race in its daily activities. The lower-class Zergs were different, at least they found that the high-level Zergs living on the planet were like this.

But life was too dull, there was no entertainment. If personal training with holographic equipment could be recreational... right.

“Running out again? Do these Zergs even care about its own children?!!” ____

Hammer bent down and picked up a young Zerg cub who jumped down from an unfinished window ledge and trembled. He felt tired. For the first time, Hammer picked up children for the Zerg family.

The baby in hand was like a rabbit and likes to jump around. However, the Zerg jumped from two stories without any injury. It could only be said that the Zergs were indeed a fighting race.

“...” Shen Mu could not speak.

Before that, of course, neither of them had ever seen the high-level Zergs in their cub forms. He told them that the high-level Zergs were like fluffy little animals in their cub forms, which was absolutely unbelievable when they killed.

After the blonde human officer made his exhausting remarks, a high-ranking Zerg in military uniform approached, “Your Majesty has invited the two of you to go to the Suttasha Empire with him.”

After saying this, the high-ranking Zerg looked at the cub held by the human in front of him. “Many cubs like to move freely. They know how to go home. You don’t have to worry about it.”

The Two: “...”

They felt the difference between raising children of humans and Zergs.

There was no objection to going to the Suttasha Empire, and the two humans arrived at Tuther’s largest airport.

“The fleet will be here in a minute.” Kapalia bowed her head to the young zerg at the other end of the screen.

“The fleet of the Third and Fourth legions will come soon.” The Chief of Staff reported on the situation.

The fleet on Tuther was assembled early in the morning. After all, it was in its own territory and could not be said to be fast enough.

“A little... Too much.” Looking at the number of fleets gathered, Gu Huai raised his hand to cover his eyes.

More than that. The humans stood nearby and could not help gaping.

This team, this situation... People who don’t know would think you’re going to invade, okay?
