"Could it be that I have to stand up to control these monsters?!"

"Yes."

"Wait! You can freaking talk!"

Hearing the voice from below, Lin Yi was completely dumbfounded. This had completely exceeded his understanding.

A whatchamacallit! Actually had its own consciousness???

And could communicate with its master!

Using the most basic form of verbal communication!

"I can't sense your thoughts. The Queen said it was to protect your privacy, so let's just communicate like this."

"Oh, and one more thing, remember to put it in neutral from now on. I don't like being restricted."

"Disrespectful to the Queen!"

At that moment, it felt like something had shattered, and a hazy image of a kind old man, who seemed to be his great-grandmother, smiled and extended his arms towards him…

Like scrambling fried eggs into tiny pieces, then frying them in hot oil, and finally grinding them into juice in a pulverizer.

You call that not reading my mind?? You call that privacy?? I privacy you %￥#*%……￥%!!

"Is this… hell…"

Lin Yi was about to cry. How come he felt like it would have been better to die?

He had no personal freedom, and not even his own children!

What was he even doing this for!

Picking up shoes for the Queen??

Hmm… maybe he could consider it…

After a while, after praising Lin Mo to the heavens, this ancestral being finally stopped hurting.

"Roar!"

The infected seemed to have understood the Queen's order. The human in front of them was now their temporary leader.

He came to the city wall.

He immediately saw the angelic Queen, her white dress stained with traces of blood, like a Valkyrie guarding her people.

Like an angel fighting for her subjects!

A gentle breeze lifted her white hair.

Lin Mo turned her head and smiled, golden light behind her, casting a sacred glow.

Crap! It's the feeling of being smitten!

Queen!

Lin Yi will forever pledge his loyalty to you!

He came before Lin Mo, following the direction she pointed, and that first-love atmosphere was instantly defiled by several burly men.

What the…?

The big meatball in front of him was splitting under the Kacha's command. It wasn't just a simple split.

Lin Yi's eyes were blank, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

This really matched the Queen's beaming smile!

Lin Mo looked strange. She pointed to his nether region, "It's a little impolite of you to be like this."

"… I'm sorry, Queen! But I don't seem to be able to control this anymore…"

He swallowed, tugged at his tattered bedsheet, and pointed to the things below the city, "This wouldn't be something Your Majesty prepared for me, would it!"

Those round meatball things seemed to be fighting over the various limbs and minced meat that had fallen on the ground because the distribution wasn't even enough.

Like tangled masses of horsehair worms, moving around like tumbleweeds.

Fierce, disgusting, and yellow!

"Hmm, are you not satisfied? Don't worry, you'll be able to control them soon. They're still in the process of being modified. They're all very lively little ones."

A tattered cloak caught Lin Yi's attention. Why did that thing look a little familiar? It seemed… it seemed to be the uniform of those reinforcements?

Combined with the limbs scattered all over the ground, it was hard not to imagine the worst!

But how had they turned into this ghostly state??

"Queen, if I may be so bold, could this be those soldiers…"

"Hmm, it seems so, but I didn't do it. It was that guy in black armor from your Earth Dragon Legion. I've forgotten his name…"

"…" The Queen is starting to pass the buck again…

Felt familiar.

"Hmm, this time it's true. Oh, I have another question. Where is that town that produces the Huolin Fruit?"

Lin Yi was stunned.

What was the Queen asking that for? Could it be that there was some treasure there? Or had the Queen discovered something incredible in the Huolin Fruit?

Indeed, what could be hidden from the Queen?

Thinking this, he pondered for a moment.

"Queen, that place is heavily guarded by the Empire, not really for the Huolin Fruit, but for the minerals below."

"Continue."

"That's the hardest material among all the minerals discovered by the Great Empire so far. Only the Empire's Sage, Mr. Marin, has ever used forbidden magic to melt a small piece of it, and most of it was used in the royal family."

"Oh, and my dagger was made from that metal, but it seems to have been lost… cough."

Why did he stop talking? Because Lin Mo was playing with Lin Yi's dagger!

"Hmm, is it this?" Lin Mo asked as she played with it.

"Yes!"

"This is what you call the most solid metal?"

Lin Mo watched and waved her hand, and a Thunder Beast cub happily trotted over, like a three-hundred-ton child.

The cub stood on its hind legs, its front paws resting on the city wall, its two scythes right in front of Lin Mo.

Ding—

A crisp sound.

"Seems not bad."

"Yes, that's the Empire's…"

Hearing the Queen's praise, Lin Yi immediately raised his head, intending to curry favor with the Queen.

And then… what did he see?

A nick on the dagger?

The clean break meant that the Queen hadn't used any force at all. It had been cut off cleanly.

"But, that's about it."

What a joke, this was a Thunder Beast cub, an alien insect that could go head-to-head with mechs. If it wasn't for Lin Mo's desire to ride and gallop with lightning, the Thunder Beast cub wouldn't have come to such a backward civilization.
