The King’s Game

Chapter 9 – [Black Knight IX]

The differences of food between the Zergs and humans were not very big, but Zergs had a wider range of choices. What the humans could eat, the Zerg could eat, and what the humans could not eat, the Zergs were still able to eat.

But the Zergs were not a materialistic race. For them, eating was only a physiological need, some Zergs even used nutrients to solve their daily hunger problems.

Gu Huai drank a small tube of nutrient, which could keep him full for most of the day. He never wanted to try a second one, because the taste was a bit too hard to describe.

“Eran, Tamir and Coria, which one is closer to Tuther?” Although he didn’t know where the nutritional recipes came from, Gu Huai had been happily eating normal food these days, although some of them were unknown to him.

As the silver-haired Zerg could not see a simple and crude way to solve three meals with nutrients every day, Gu Huai recently pulled him to eat with him.

“Not much difference.” The dishes touched by the young zerg would be put into the youth’s bowl one by one, and the silver-haired zerg continued to stare at the young zerg eating.

That meant the three Legion leaders should come together. On the second day after the meeting, Gu Huai set up a spiritual link covering a wide range of areas. Now almost all the Zergs knew that he was in Tuther.

“The military headquarters has received many communications requests from the three other legions since yesterday, and has not stopped until now.” Looking at the piles of requests for communications from the staff, Aljer smiled, the recent events were all very interesting.

Hearing the young man’s inquiry, Aljer coughed and straightened up his military posture. “There are many Zerg soldiers who want to transfer to our army because they want to get a residence permit in Tuther.”

As for why they wanted to live in Tuther, that was something everyone wanted now.

Job… Job hopping? In a flash, Gu Huai was a little dazed when he thought of the word.

Was it possible to play like this between the four Zerg Armies who split up or even had become enemies?

“Ka.” The sound of teeth cracking a hard shell.

Couldn’t bite it. Giving up on thinking about the problem, Gu Huai lowered his head to study the food.

This unknown food looked a little like the leg of a king crab, but its shell was hard to bite.

Instead of letting the young man bite it a second time, Alvis silently moved the food to his side and began to peel the shell carefully before putting it back on the young man’s plate.

This hard shelled creature could only be captured on a few planets. It happened to be found in Tuther, the meat in its hard crust was very delicious and had high nutritional value.

It was difficult for humans to eat, but in the case of Zergs, eating meat and shells was not a problem at all.

“Don’t have too much hard food in your diet in the future.” Alves frowned slightly when he thought about the problem of the young zerg having teeth pain. “If you have a shell, I’ll peel it off and give it to you.”

The two men who formulated the nutritional diet were not careful enough, thinking about this, the silver-haired Zerg’s pupils dilated.

In fact, the two humans who were being guarded in a duplex house were quite innocent. How could they have imagined that a Zerg could not bite hard food?

After peeling all the shelled food and wiping off his fingers, Alves pushed it close to the young man and continued to look at him. But knowing that it would worry young zerg if he did not eat, Alves began to eat slowly and methodically.

It was confirmed that the young zerg had fully completed his feeding. Only when the silver-haired Zerg wrapped its tail around the young zerg’s waist, could the young zerg get out of his seat and into his arms. Reaching for the young man’s waist and abdomen, he quickly checked whether he needed to eat more.

Faced with this kind of intimate scene, Aljer standing next to him was very sensitive. Although his leader was cold to others that even one look may not necessarily be given to them, he was totally different to the young zerg.

Active intimacy, patience and tolerance so deep it’s bottom line could not be seen, a beloved treasure carefully guarded, with the tail wrapped protectively around him.

Hearing these two syllables, the silver-haired Zerg paused, then lowered his head and gently rubbed the young zerg’s cheeks.

Feeling the low body temperature for a moment, Gu Huai was dumbstruck for a little while, with his face being rubbed .

His treasure was in his territory and he was happy, rubbing his cheeks was not rejected, so the silver-haired Zerg pecked him carefully and gently.

It was as soft as feathers.

He liked it, he was not rejected, he wanted more. It was in line with the zerg’s predatory instinct to take what they saw for themselves, but this method was not applicable to his beloved treasure. The silver-haired Zerg could only use the method he understood to entertain the young zerg clumsily.

Before he was asleep, he didn’t know the situation, now he was pecked on his cheek when he was awake. Gu Huai obviously didn’t respond.

Although there were many people in his original world who expressed their good feelings like that, Gu Huai had been living a single life in his house, with himself and his housekeeping robots, and the reason for his works was that he often travelled around the world looking for inspiration…

There was no such thing as falling in love.

-“Ring -” he liked the stunned look of the young zerg in his arms, but a virtual panel popped up from the desktop communication device. Alves glanced at the information and had to put the young zerg in his arms back to his original seat. He stood up and said, “Here they are.”

It referred to the heads of the other three legions. There would be discussions, but for this meeting, Alvis did not intend to involve Gu Huai.

“The leader wants to give you a satisfactory result.” Receiving the signal from his leader, after the other party got up and left, Aljer continued to stay beside the youth, explaining in a gentle voice, “If they can’t talk together, there’s no need for those guys to see you.”

He could still feel the cool soft touch on his cheek, Gu Huai stretched out his finger to poke his cheek, and then nodded.

“By the way, Al…” Gu Huai turned his head and said, “Where did your leader’s nickname come from?”

The nickname of the silver-haired Zerg was what the Deputy secretly learnt. He did not mention the reason at that time, now Gu Huai was curious about it.

In a moment, his expression changed subtlety. The Zerg, as a deputy, hung his head down, “If you want to know, your subordinate will certainly tell you.”

The zerg learnt of the name while working on the warship, and then Aljer had received a cold look from his leader. When his back was cold, he thought that he would be dragged away by the other zerg to practice with him or something.

But, after all these days, he was still alive and well.

Looking back on the past, Alger simply extracted the part from his memories into an image and projected it directly. This kind of memory extraction could only be carried out when the person recalled the specified event and was completely willing.

“Is it this one…?” There were several Zerg cubs in the hologram, Gu Huai reached for the one enclosed in the middle.

It was the kind of pups whose villi hadn’t shed yet. The shape of the Zerg varied greatly between juvenile and adult stages. In addition, it was not easy for high-level Zerg to recognize which pup they were when they enter adulthood.

Despite the tone of questioning, the writer basically confirmed his choice.

A fluffy cub, if it didn’t move, it would look like a white ball, but obviously with a small silver tail behind it.

Aljer nodded. ‘In his infancy, several of his current commanders lived on the same planet, the other ones in the image.”

“Normally, when a Zerg cub calls, it hisses, but the leader was different.” Alger continued, “Because it chirped… So…”

Following this verbal description, Gu Huai imagined the next scene, and unconsciously his eyebrows squeezed slightly.

It looked round, with a small silver tail and a chirp.

“Boss, he has been very ferocious since then. Several other commanders of the Legion were beaten by Boss in their childhood, especially when they shouted the nickname, they were beaten very badly.” Speaking of this matter, the Zerg Deputy changed his title naturally, and his face showed a little pride.

“But the leader didn’t mind you calling him like that.” That’s why Aljer said up that he was still alive and not beaten up.

Of course, Gu Huai couldn’t feel nonchalant about it.

“It will take some time for the meeting to end. Do you need any entertainment during this period?” He asked aloud, Alger quickly thought about several recreational options in his mind.

“No.” To curb his frustration after eating, Gu Huai shook his head. “Go do your own thing, don’t follow me, I and the Taks will be walking around in the yard.”

Instinctively, he did not want to disobey the instructions of the young zerg, then he thought that the young zerg only lived in an area of the mansion, and there was a group of Tak Zerg guards beside each other. After a moment of hesitation, Aljer nodded and answered, “Yes.”

The so-called courtyard, the courtyard of this private territory, was a vast forest.

Standing in front of the Tak Zerg, whose body was several times bigger than him, Gu Huai held out his hands to the one closest to him.

The youth, if compared with the low-class Zerg without a human form, suddenly appeared very young, as was the case with the black-haired youth in the eyes of these Tak zergs. It was recognized that the young zerg in front of them had only just broken from his shells. Each of these Tak Zergs had taken care of the young zerg as their pups. Of course, even when he grew up, they would still maintain the same degree of love.

There was no need to establish spiritual links. The “hug” gesture, which the youth did, had been understood by the first Tak Zerg.

Responding with a low hiss, the Tak Zerg held the young man up on his left shoulder and then moved slowly in the direction indicated by the young man, while the rest followed around.

Playing with a glass ball slightly larger than a marble, Gu Huai’s body tilted, leaning against the head of the Tak Zerg who placed him on it’s left shoulder, and then drooped his eyes.

Because he could feel that if they didn’t see him for a long time, they would be worried. For example, the mood of parents who lost their children. So Gu Huai often ran to the Tak Zergs to brush his sense of existence, so that the other party knew that he was very safe jumping around.

“It’s all black.” Relying on his height, he reached out and pulled down a leaf. Gu Huai looked around the scene and could not see any other color except black.

Not only was the color of the trees in the forest black, but Gu Huai had looked around at the top of the military building before, and all the small woods he could see were also black. The black tree called Tamu seemed to be the only plant species on Tuther.

It seemed that because of the soil, flowers and other things could not survive on this planet at all, only the Tamu tree had a very strong vitality, so it survived.

Thinking about this, Gu Huai accidentally dropped the glass ball on the ground and it rolled down a slope, and then continued to roll down.

Gu Huai was silent. He liked the glass ball inexplicably. He didn’t want it to disappear like that.

“Wait for me.” Seeing that the area under the slope was not spacious, Gu Huai let the Tak Zerg carry him down and walked down the slope.

The Tak Zergs, who received the instructions, bowed and then stayed in place obediently.

Trees grew more densely in the area below . Gu Huai looked down as he walked along the direction of the glass ball he had seen falling.

After more than a dozen steps, Gu Huai successfully found the glass ball he had dropped. As he approached, he bent down, but just as his fingers touched him, Gu Huai was forced to stand by a dagger was near his throat.

“… Human?!” The dagger across the young man’s throat loosened, and the expressions of the two human officers who had just escaped were both surprised and questioning.

His pupils were round, and he had no Zerg features . It was true.

“Ordinary human.” With a tight eyebrow, Shen Mu pushed the dagger in his colleague’s hand away from the young man’s throat.

Meeting people on this planet, one of the core Zerg domains, was not a pleasure at all, because the chances of survival and escape was very low for both themselves and the black-haired youth they just met.

“…” Gu Huai kept silent. It was the first time he had seen any human since he crossed the world, but he never expected it to be this way.

There were very few human beings with powers, but they did exist. Shen Mu was one of them. Before, when he was in prison, he was directly interrogated causing fatigue. He was so mentally exhausted that he could not use his ability at all. Recently, it was difficult for them to have a rest time to seize such a chance to escape.

Fortunately, it was a lucky move to a place where no Zerg could be seen around. Now it was time to race against the clock, because the Zergs guarding the house might find them out at any time.

“There’s no time to care about other people. Now the most important thing is to get a button on the armor.” Hammer told his colleague about the fact that they could leave the planet with only one armour.

“No… We can’t save an ordinary citizen from death.” It was very clear that he is facing the current situation of his own security, but the military’s sense of honor made Shen Mu unable to give up rescuing an ordinary person who was in danger and had no self-help ability.

“You were captured on this planet, too.” Shen Mu did not use interrogative sentences. Although it was not known how the other party escaped from prison, human beings could only be captured on this planet.

It was obvious that the other side treated him as a compatriot. He was safe now. Gu Huai blinked his eyes quickly and responded vaguely, although he was a bit eager to answer honestly.

After the response, his right hand was pulled up by the blonde,blue-eyed human commander.

“Energy Crystal…” Holding something like a glass ball, in the hands of a young man was an energy crystal, and the human general suddenly lost his voice when his eyes saw it.

Where did the other party steal this? With this rare grade of energy crystal, you could even buy a Class A planet, which was not something ordinary citizens could get.

Energy Crystals? Wasn’t it just a glass ball? Gu Huai looked at the human general who was watching him with a doubtful look.

When he was still on the warship Yula, he was inexplicably attracted to look at the glass ball twice more, and then the silver-haired zerg put the glass ball in his hands without saying a word.

“So you didn’t know what it was and stole it.” The blonde blue-eyed officer raised his head and sighed. He took the energy crystal from the young man’s hand and looked at it twice. Despite being the treasure of a planet, there was really no desire for money at this time of life and death, but his reluctancd could be seen at a glance.

For a long time, they could not wait for the young king to come back. The Tak Zergs, who had been on standby for a long time, started a riot, and finally violated the instructions of the young King to wait for him. When they found the figure they had been looking for, they saw the scene just now.

“Hiss-!”

The sudden hissing of the Zergs raised the eyes of the two humans, who saw a group of scarlet pupiled Zergs who were staring at them with fierce eyes.

Humans were not only close to their king, but also dared to steal the toy ball that their king liked.——

At this time, in the minds of these Tak Zergs, only crushing and tearing the two enemies in front of them into pieces would calm them down.
