She first got up to accept Han Qianqian’s wine, followed by drinking it straight down in one go.
When the wine was finished, she smiled, “Didn’t Night Sky City win?”
“Yes!”
“How much credit did the ants take?”
“It is fair to say that without the anthros there would be no victory for Night Sky City today.”
“I want to know what happened, is that okay?”
Han Qianqian nodded and followed up by telling the Ant Queen exactly what happened in the final battle.
After hearing this, the Ant Queen was once again silent for a moment, and immediately afterwards, she slowly spoke.
“Before they left, I had given orders that they would either help you win and return again or die with you, but the ending was somewhat beyond my expectation. They did not return, but yet they helped you win.”
”
It was a surprise, but in any case, they did their job brilliantly, behind the ant queen, and I am proud of them.”
“As for you, my benefactor, please also rise.”
Han Qianqian did not get up, and the Ant Queen got up and gently held Han Qianqian’s hand to help him up.
“Your Grace, there’s really no need for that.”
Han Qianqian had some guilt on his face, “From now on, just call me Qianqian, I can’t afford to be called a benefactor, if you have to call me that, it should be me calling you.”
“You never owe us anything, but since you’ve said so, then I’ll call you three thousand.”
The queen gently smiled at Han Qianqian and Su Yingxia, and then lifted her glass of wine, “Come, let us toast all our dead brothers with this glass of wine.”
Han San
Qian and Su Yingxia both picked up their wine cups and toasted with them to the heavens, before drinking to them together.
Once they had been toasted, the three of them returned to their seats.
“Three thousand, in the letter you asked us to come to Night Sky City, is it mainly because you want to compensate us? You tell the truth.” The Ant Queen asked as she sat down.
Han Qianqian nodded, but then shook her head, “There is indeed such a reason in it, but again, not all of it.”
“What does that mean?”
“Although Night Sky City is safe for the time being, it doesn’t mean it will always be safe. You are not only here to enjoy the taxes here, but also to face the possibility of extinction at any time.” Han Qianqian let out a bitter laugh, “So, this isn’t as much of a benefit as you seem to think.”
“Calling you all here is also because you
Your size is suitable for the underground passageway’s arming and resistance.”
“So, complement each other, I guess.”
The Ant Queen smiled gently, “So that’s how it is, if you were to simply make up for us, I’m afraid we would have a hard time accepting this favor from you.”
“Although the Ant-Man clan is not doing well now, it doesn’t mean that we always need to rely on the charity of others to survive. We still prefer to rely on our own abilities.”
“You can say it’s our backbone, but conversely you can also say we just want to prove ourselves.”
“So, you are willing to relocate your people here, Queen Ant?” Su Yingxia said.
The Ant Queen smiled bitterly, “Actually, before we came, we had already found a new place to survive, and although the environment there is not too good, it is better than
compared to the unseen underground at the beginning, it is obviously much better there.”
“We have also done a lot of construction there, and now the basic facilities are quite good, so in theory we don’t want to move.”
“However, water flows downhill and people move upwards, Night Sky City is a fat city, if we can get the tax revenue from here, it will naturally be more beneficial to the development of my Ant Clan, although as Three Thousand just said, it could be dangerous at any time, but what I want to say is that in the land of the Demons, where is there absolute safety? If you die and bury it in a grave, it’s not likely to be dug up, and the only way to be absolutely safe is for you to be strong enough so that others don’t dare to come and mess with you.”
The queen ant said and looked at Han Qianqian: “So, I’ve decided ……”
