How Am I Still Alive?

"Long time no see, my friend, time seems to have left no trace on you."

When the guest landed on the boat, the whole boat even shook slightly.

This is a huge monster, with a carapace like armor and sharp blades that bring a deadly luster. Just the existence caused panic among the sailors.

".Mudar? Oh, it's really been a long time since I last saw you in your senses, but only a few months for me. Friend, are you okay?"

After the surprise at the first meeting, Lu Ping'an naturally recalled who this person was after feeling this familiar spiritual language.

"Ancient Hero" and "Great Educator" Mudar, who is like a war machine, has always defined himself as a spiritual technician and educator.

At the beginning, when he was just awakened from his slumber, the object of his alliance was the then unknown Rebirth Chamber of Commerce and Lu.

But later, when he heard that the blood of his people, the original people who were called the Abyss Zerg, had returned, he naturally focused on that side.

It is said that he seemed to have participated in the liberation of the awakened swarm.

"Do you represent the awakened Zerg?"

"Zerg. We now call ourselves the Free Helmet Horns."

"Oh, sorry, I didn't know about this before. Can you tell me more?"

This time, against those Abyss Zerg, the expeditionary forces on his side are somewhat insufficient in terms of intelligence and actual combat experience.

The Helmet Horns came over, most of them took the initiative to help.

"Of course, we still need your help to fight for a place for us in the new country."

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an's expression was a little subtle. It was not that he was surprised that the other party had something to ask for, but that he put forward his needs as soon as he met, which was obviously too "unpolitical".

"Come in and talk in detail. No matter what, I am very grateful for your help."

It is obvious that Mudar is definitely not the only ancient hero among the awakened Zerg. It is precisely because he came to communicate with him that he naturally looked at the past relationship.

In a sense, with the collapse of the West Hill Mountain Front, at the moment when the Dawn Country is being built, assisting the front line has become a political correctness.

Lu Ping'an and other Easterners were the first to see it, and the generals of the Salvation Army who woke up later were also on the way. This was still the main branch of the new country.

For some existences with subtle identities, they need to prove their value even more.

"My tribe has gained absolute freedom. Please let us do our best in this war."

Existences like the awakened Zerg are the remnants of the old era. As Zerg, they are naturally feared and guarded by other tribes.

In fact, if the war with the Abyss Zerg is not still going on, and there are opponents who are far more dangerous than them, the new country may have begun to consider exterminating them.

No reason is needed, just the appearance and the name of the Zerg, no other tribe will object.

The founding ceremony this time is the most obvious. Most tribes have been invited. The free fishmen who are also "betrayers" not only have many representatives, but also take seats. In the end, they will definitely become the authority configuration of the big tribe.

And the awakened Zerg, these communities that call themselves the Free Helmet Horns, let alone invitations, have not even received any news.

After so many wars, their numbers are few, but their combat power is not bad. This has become one of the main reasons why other ethnic groups are afraid of them. The best outcome for them is to become a minority in the new country. If the new country does not play with them, it is only a matter of time before they are regarded as a threat and dealt with.

"Sometimes, appearance prejudice is really a subtle thing. The new country even gave human rights to those who defected from the Lava Tribe, but did not invite us at all."

Mudar said this with a sigh. The identity of "Zerg" is a barrier at this level. Humanoid creatures and Zerg are treated completely differently.

". We brought special weapons for the Abyss Helmet Horns. Please let us try."

Lu Ping'an naturally had no reason to refuse this kind of combat power that took the initiative.

"Why me?"

"Because I heard that Marshal Lu is here, and you are here too. Moreover, the Dongguo people are also a minority in the new country."

The insect mouthparts did not move, but the words of the heart were very frank.

In the new country, the largest tribe in terms of numbers may be the free fishmen. After all, although the reproduction rate of these elder hand tribes is also amazing, the number of fishmen has already spread all over the world, and they are the most adapted tribe to this water world.

But these fishmen are not a race. The octopus tribe is a gathering of countless water worlds. Those who are known as "fishmen" range from short gray phosphorus fishmen (about 70 cm tall) to upright killer whale-like sand fishmen.

Their blood is mixed, and there are hundreds of internal characters and languages. It is quite a stretch to say that they are a tribe. In fact, at the civil affairs level of the new country, the biggest dispute is to re-divide the "fishmen".

That will divide the entire free fishmen into hundreds of tribes, and redefine them according to their appearance, culture, and abilities. Even the weakest tribe with only a few hundred people will be given a new name as long as it exists.

This matter has been agreed by everyone except a very small number of fishmen tribes.

Some things are tacitly understood. In a country with many ethnic groups and no dominant ethnic group, if the minority ethnic groups want to get along well, they naturally have to create "ethnic division" and "ethnic awakening".

In this regard, the more detailed the fish people are divided, the better. Lu Ping'an knows it very well, because the biggest promoter of this matter is not the second largest tribe, the Long Hand Tribe, but the Dongguo people with the smallest population.

They are the actual "wealth owners" and "power holders", and will be the actual controllers of the new country in the future. Naturally, they do not expect the ethnic groups under their command to be too unified.

Even for the Long Hand Tribe, they plan to divide the tribe according to "skin color", "language" and "customs", but Lu Ping'an estimates that the possibility of success is not high.

Do the fish people not object? Most of the fish people agree. On the one hand, they themselves do not think that the fish people with huge differences are really the same tribe. On the other hand, it is also because "independent ethnic groups" will receive a series of preferential treatments, including self-reserved residences, military service support, tax exemptions, etc.

Only those wise fishmen with a long-term vision oppose it. But among the fishmen who have graduated from prenatal education, "wisdom" and "foresight" are destined to be a minority, and they have to ignore their own personal interests.

Even in the new civil policy, there are obvious preferential policies for minority ethnic groups. Lu Pingan estimated that this is more or less a taste of creating conflicts and fanning the flames.

Lu actually knows that even if the new country is established, it will be a divided country with internal multi-ethnic disputes. This also makes it easier for the Dong people, who have the smallest number of people, to gain benefits in this world.

"If you perform well, I will support you to become a minority in the new country."

After thinking for a while, Lu Pingan made a promise.

From the perspective of the Dong people, this is what they are happy to see. The awakened Zerg, who are hostile and guarded, become a member of the new country, which is convenient for attracting internal hostility.

"Great!"

At this moment, Mudar was overjoyed.

Lu Pingan himself was a little curious, why didn't you join the Long-Handed Clan and the Free Fishmen? They should have more say in this regard.

"We have tried, and they are afraid of us."

The words of the heart that were transmitted were helpless and bitter.

For the Long-Handed Clan and the Murlocs, the awakened Zerg are dangerous nightmare races. They did not immediately eliminate them only because they were not capable enough.

For the Easterners, there are too many dangerous races in the multiverse, and you little bugs really don't rank among them.

The gap in strength and vision made them have only this choice in the end.

"We will prove our worth."

"Yes. We Easterners will look forward to it."
