Yu Lian rubbed his temples and frowned. "Isn't this way too fast?"
"It can't really be called fast. Count Lamute spent over a week evaluating these allied forces."
"Damn, I knew those green-haired turtles were useless! You can't count on green-haired turtles to wake up to reality, no matter what you're doing these days." Yu Lian couldn't help slapping the table.
"Strictly speaking, most Cherk's manes are warm-toned, and turn white with age. Calling them green-haired turtles should be a sign of some calcium-deficiency disorder." Feifei made this rather meticulous distinction, then added, "Besides, they lasted much longer than the main force of the Ring of Miracles' expeditionary fleet."
Who would've thought that even a year after the Ring of Miracles' expeditionary fleet had been wiped out, it would still be getting insulted!
"So you're saying I'm not actually entitled to make fun of them. Is that it?"
Feifei nodded solemnly.
"You're overthinking it, Adjutant Fei. I actually can't even laugh anymore." Yu Lian sighed, then promptly burst into hearty laughter, laughing so hard that tears nearly came to his eyes.
To be fair, when he first heard that the various Cherk Kingdom warlords were preparing to unite and pledge their loyalty to their country, he'd been somewhat hopeful.
After all, Cherk was a medium-sized military power. In terms of population, national strength, and military strength on paper, it could absolutely sit in the second or third row of the Galactic Civilization Council.
This species also had pretty good potential for development.
Its territory wasn't very large in absolute terms, but it had plenty of habitable planets that could be developed. Cherks looked like upright-walking crocodilian tortoises, but their species also came with the advantages of physical strength and adaptability. They adjusted to new planetary environments much better than humans
