Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

They did not offer a single word of defense for themselves, nor did they shirk any responsibility.

If the Queen is in danger, it is a dereliction of duty by the entire nation, and they would be guilty beyond redemption.

Looking at her people kneeling before her, weeping bitterly, Miya felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

She stepped forward, her eyes glistening with tears, yet filled with a resolute determination.

"Get up, all of you." Her voice clearly reached the ears of every bee-man present. "This is not your fault. You have done very well! It's just that the enemy is too powerful."

The bees still refused to get up.

Mia sighed softly, "The enemies who attacked are extraordinary. They come from a higher-level region, their strength far exceeds our understanding, and their methods are unpredictable. Freya, Vayne, and everyone else, you have all done your best."

Her gaze slowly swept over all her people: "Today's calamity is not a fault of our own. It is simply that the enemy is too powerful and their plans are too meticulous. Everyone... has suffered."

These words, like warm honeydew, flowed into the cold, desperate hearts of the bees.

The Queen offered no reprimands or punishments, only understanding, comfort, and affirmation.

The immense grievance, lingering fear, and the relief of regaining what they had lost instantly broke down their defenses, and many of the bees could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

But what Mia said next brought their crying to an abrupt halt, replaced by a deeper shock and fear.

"However," Mia's voice calmed, tinged with seriousness, "the crisis is not over. Those who captured me are alien assassins known as the 'Mistborn.' And behind them is a bug king called the 'Gorgon.' The bug king covets me, intending to use me as food for his advancement. He will not let this failure go unpunished."

The nascent relief was quickly overshadowed by an even greater shadow. Freya and the others turned deathly pale. They had personally experienced the terror of the Mistborn assassins; how terrifying must the Insect King behind them, capable of commanding such killers, be? Could their tribe... truly withstand the next attack?

Despair is spreading quietly once again.

Just as the atmosphere froze again, Miya suddenly changed the subject, her gaze falling on Liu Nian beside her, her eyes regaining their light.

"Fortunately, I met Liu Nian when I was in my most dangerous moment." Miya'er's voice was filled with gratitude. "It was he who saw through the Mistborn's conspiracy, rescued me from the brink of death, and personally killed those two Mistborn assassins!"

Those two terrifying assassins are dead?!

All the bees' eyes instantly focused on Liu Nian, filled with disbelief.

The terrifying assassin who easily killed Commander Lucini, instantly subdued Captain Rex of the Royal Guard, and kidnapped the Queen like a nightmare... was killed by this unassuming human player?

Faced with numerous shocked gazes, Liu Nian simply nodded calmly, acknowledging the situation.

He didn't say much; letting Miya take the lead was the best option at this moment.

Miya took a deep breath. Having finished her preamble, she then delivered the decision that would change the fate of the tribe: "Liu Nian not only saved me, but also brought us new hope. He possesses a 'floating city' that can fly and leap, a powerful aerial fortress. He is willing to offer us this floating city as our new 'nest capital' home!"

This is yet another shocking piece of news.

The way all the bees looked at Liu Nian changed, filled with a complex mix of emotions including disbelief, doubt, and gratitude.

But undeniably, given the Queen's recent ordeal and fear of the future, this proposal became their lifeline!

"However, we belong to different regions and cannot join the human camp through an alliance... Therefore, I have decided to swear allegiance to Liu Nian and become a vassal race under Lord Liu Nian!"

Subordinate races...

This word made some beekeepers hesitate instinctively, but the reaction was not very intense, contrary to Liu Nian's expectations.

Miya continued, "If it weren't for Lord Liu Nian, I might already be a puppet, and our entire tribe might have become food for the higher insectoid race! Lord Liu Nian has given our tribe a second life, and his strength is equally unfathomable, with such a powerful creation as the Floating City! Therefore, I believe that becoming a vassal would be our chance for rebirth!"

But after a brief silence, Freya was the first to raise her head: "Your Majesty! Whatever decision you make, I will defend it to the death!"

"We swear to defend the Queen to the death! We are willing to follow Lord Liu Nian!" Vayne followed closely behind.

"We swear to defend the Queen to the death! We are willing to follow Lord Liu Nian!"

"We swear to defend the Queen to the death! We are willing to follow Lord Liu Nian!"

The oaths, as loud as a mountain roaring and as powerful as a tsunami, resounded through the mist.

The bees no longer had the confusion they had before.

There were no questions, no objections. As mentioned before, the Abe bees, a highly centralized and obedient race, would immediately unify the will of the entire race once the queen made up her mind. Moreover, the decision itself carried an irresistible allure.

Tears welled in Miya'er's eyes as she turned to Liu Nian and bowed deeply: "Lord Liu Nian, as you can see, my clan... is willing to follow you."

Liu Nian breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed everything was going smoothly. He had risked offending the Mistfolk and that Insect King, all for the sake of taking down the Abe Bee-men, hadn't he?

He nodded. "Very good. Well then, without further ado, let's leave here and head to my floating city. I'll show you your future new home with your own eyes."

With a thought, he issued a summoning command to the "Jumbo".

A moment later, the fog was pushed aside by an invisible force.

A massive, suffocating shadow slowly descended.

Its entire body is a deep dark blue, and its size is comparable to a moving small mountain.

The bees had never seen such a huge creature before. They stared in disbelief at the colossal shadow that blotted out the sky, forgetting even to gasp in surprise.

"Don't be afraid, this is my partner, the Giant," Liu Nian explained, then ordered the Giant, "Open the chamber, bring all these friends in, and we're heading back."

The colossal head nodded slightly, and its abyss-like maw slowly opened.

A soft, stable pale blue light enveloped them, gently enveloping and guiding all the bee-people, including Liu Nian and Mi Ya'er. The next moment, everyone felt a blur before their eyes and found themselves in a strange space.

It wasn't dark here. All around were flowing, pale blue energy walls that resembled nebulae. Underfoot was a soft, springy ground. The air was fresh, the temperature was pleasant, and you could even vaguely see the outside world rushing by through the semi-transparent space walls.

"This...this is inside the belly of a giant beast?" Freya looked around in surprise and doubt.

"It's a biological space transport platform!" Shadow-rank commander Vayne instantly understood the behemoth's value, her silver-gray compound eyes filled with shock. "This is simply... a strategic weapon!"
