It’s late autumn in the southern hemisphere.
The cold wind from Antarctica howls and whines.
The rolling waves crashed against the black cliffs, making rapid and chaotic rumbling sounds.
The ice boat sailed against the wind and waves, approaching Shizheshan Fortress little by little.
——Low-key!
——Low-key!
——Low-key!
——The insects in the United Kingdom of Boshuwan are mixed together, and I don’t know how many of them are secretly colluding with Blue Island.
——Talk less. Don't talk.
——The more you talk, the more you expose.
Long Bai waved his tentacles to lecture, and finally warned Cui Bai and Yin Bai again and again.
Of course, it was mainly for the two kings who were beside me to listen happily.
Mo Lan was looking at the cutting-like vertical cliff in the distance with a novel look. Her wings were opening and closing, as if she was about to take off at any moment. Suddenly, with a shudder, the little Mo Lan above her head turned into a nine-color stream of light and rushed out.
“Molan!”
Long Bai shouted.
"Oops. Ant. Are you annoyed?"
Mo Lan was impatient.
In the sky ahead, a translucent butterfly appeared, suspended in the air, staring at the colorful mantis rushing towards it.
"Hello~"
Little Molan volleyed and turned around, leading Lu Fei ahead.
"Are you the Trans-Wing Butterfly Warrior responsible for reconnaissance and communication?"
"...Yes."
The Trans-Wing Butterfly Warrior was so frightened that he quickly reacted and followed the flight Behind Xiao Molan, she asked:
“Is this the Hongdao Ant Kingdom, Longbai Ant King?”
“Exactly!”
"Then you are..."
"King Mo Lanmang. The second king of Hongdao Ant Kingdom."
"What is your... ability?"
"One A bionic ability"
"Oh——"
"I haven't asked yet, what do you call me?"
"Wulan."
"Wulan Butterfly King!"
"Longbai Ant King should know me, go up This time he followed the richest man in Xedong to visit Yanqingshan, and we met..."
...
The Wulan Butterfly King stared at the ice ship approaching slowly in the distance, shocked and stunned.
King Melanchorus is as huge as King Longbai Ant and the richest man in Snow Velvet.
The accompanying ant army is more than three meters long, which is no less than the average Zerg warrior.
Xiao Molan explained: "Don't be surprised by the Wulan Butterfly King. This is a power-type divine fruit sent by the Edelweiss Spider King. Its strength and speed double, and its size increases dramatically. This This kind of enhancement can be passed on to the fighting soldier ants through the ant king.”
“It’s so powerful!”
The Wulan Butterfly King was envious and asked doubtfully: "Is the yield very low? Why didn't the richest man in Xedong provide it for other powerful ant kings?"
Mo Lan: "I heard that it is a sacred tree that only appeared in the past hundred years. The price of a single flower and fruit for a seed given by the gods is more than 30 years, and the price is 50 million, and only the divine fruits will be exchanged." Mo Lan repeated the lies he had told many times on the road. Smooth and neat.
Thirty years? A fruit?
The Wulan Butterfly King's thoughts changed rapidly and he asked: "A wild god-given seed? It has not reached the king level yet?"
Xiao Molan: "This is the only explanation."
As he spoke, he was already approaching the ice ship.
Little Mo Lan flashed and flew back to Mo Lan's head.
“King Melancholy!”
“King Longbai Ant, nice to see you on the battlefield!”
The Black Lantern Butterfly King hovered over the bow of the ship, flew backwards, formally greeted Long Bai and Mo Lan, and looked at the Cui Bai and Yin Bai in the back row.
"Wulan Butterfly King."
Long Bai also recognized the other party. He turned sideways, raised his paw to point, and introduced: "My two unlucky kings, Cuibai and Yinbai . ”
Not a good idea?
Close sensing, the force fluctuations on these two Zuowangs are stronger than many complete Zerg warriors. They must have eaten a lot of God-given force food!
The rich and powerful ant kingdom!
No wonder the richest man in Xuerong recommended him personally, and the leader Anma personally received him.
"Green cypress. Silver cypress. Hello."
The Wulan Butterfly King was secretly surprised and said sternly: "We have informed the two leaders Anma and Jinzhe. They should now On the way to greet you.”
“Okay——”
Long Bai said politely: "Thank you for your hard work."
As they approached Shizhe Mountain, the team deliberately slowed down to give them time to deliver the news and make preparations.
As the leader, King Anmaxiao certainly cannot come to greet him in person.
A golden figure is already waiting on the cliff.
The Black Lantern Butterfly King pointed out the path, and Cui Bai and Yin Bai led the ant army, marching along the cliff ant path.
Long Bai and Mo Lan flapped their wings and took off, landing on the cliff.
“Chief Jin Zhe!”
“I’ve seen leader Jin Zhe!”
“This is King Molanjiang.”
Long Bai Greet and introduce Mo Lan.
"Deputy leader..."
King Jin Zhejia corrected him and said enthusiastically: "King Longbai Ant, King Melanji, you have worked hard all the way. Thank you for your help."
Long Bai tilted his head and said displeasedly: "King Jin Zhejia, you are out of touch when you say this. Our Hongdao Ant Nation has officially joined the Boshuwan United Kingdom. It is our obligation to send troops to participate in the war."
King Jin Zhejia hurriedly said: "Yes! I said something wrong. King Longbai Ant, please don't mind."
......
Around him, various bee tribe ant tribe princes and all kinds of warriors gathered around.
Long Bai saw some of them and knew them when he came here last time. There are also many strange insects.
After a few polite words, King Jin Zhejia introduced Long Bai and Mo Lan to each other and briefly introduced their positions.
The fifth group army number starts with the universal character 5, and the second number distinguishes different positions.
At the head of the line of 50 is the elite combat corps.
The first ranks of 51, 52, and 53 are ordinary combat regiments.
Number 54, 55, and 56 are led by the logistics and transportation team.
The 57th and 58th engineering construction teams lead the way.
59 At the head of the queue is the investigation and interrogation team.
The soldiers stationed in Shizhe Mountain are the 52nd, 54th, 58th Legion and some soldiers of the 59th Legion.
As usual, King Jin Zhejia explained to Long Bai in detail the numbering rules of the group army, the affairs each was responsible for, and the general situation of Shizhe Mountain.
"Longbai Ant King!"
"Longbai Ant King!"
Cuibai and Yinbai led the ant army to the top of the cliff, following Longbai's instructions , greet them politely.
Long Bai shook his tentacles and shouted: "Cuibai! Yinbai! Come here quickly, this is King Jin Zhejia, the deputy leader of our fifth group army, come here and meet him."
"I've seen King Jin Zhejia!"
Cuibai and Yinbai stepped forward and greeted them respectfully.
“Okay!”
“The powerful King Zuo! The mighty ant army! No wonder the richest man in Xuerong wants to personally recommend it!”
King Jin Zhejia exclaimed Again and again.
The surrounding Zerg warriors and ant and bee clan kings all marveled in astonishment.
It is obvious to the naked eye that the ant army brought by Long Bai is much more powerful than other ant tribes and bee tribes. It is better than those wandering ants, poisonous needle ants, and fierce ants that are brave and good at fighting and known for their powerful single combat power. Ants are even tougher.
Mutated giant-headed blind leaf-cutter ants?
Isn’t this change too exaggerated?
Obviously, it is not the race that is powerful, but the Dragon Cypress Ant King!
This time we really found super foreign aid!
Have you officially joined the United Kingdom of Pau Shuewan?
Great!
The United Kingdom of Bo Shuwan is stronger!
……
The insects were talking a lot.
“Is the White Crystal Butterfly King coming?”
Suddenly a bug shouted. There was a sudden silence, and everyone turned around to look at the distant sea.
A colorful butterfly flashed over and landed lightly.
White Crystal Butterfly King!
It can be seen that the White Crystal Butterfly King has a high prestige among the insects.
The insects greeted each other one after another.
Long Bai brought Mo Lan, Cui Bai and Yin Bai up to introduce them to each other.
Another round of pleasantries.
"Okay."
"It's okay. The war is about to begin. Everyone goes back to their respective posts and goes about their own business."
King Jin Zhejia knew that there was something to talk about, so he The elytra flapped up and down and shouted.
The insects dispersed sparsely.
The White Crystal Butterfly King waved its wings and activated its night power, forming a barrier to isolate mental power detection, covering Long Cypress, Mo Lan, Golden Zhejia King, Cui Bai, and Silver Cypress.
"On behalf of King Longbai Ant, King Jinzhejia, and leader Anma, the Hongdao Ant Kingdom team will be organized into an elite team, numbered 5025. The Anma Dragon King will directly command and arrange some raids, ambushes, beheadings and other tasks. . Under special battle conditions, Longbai Ant King, you can also wait for the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Ishikari Blue Ant clan's Zuo King and Ant King."
This is the tactical arrangement of the conventional elite combat army. .
King Jin Zhejia: "..."
Long Bai: "Listen to the command of leader Anma!"
White Crystal Butterfly King lowered his mental power and asked : "Longbai Ant King, I heard from the Edelweiss Spider King that you now have the strength to compete with the Beast Ant King on your own?"
Long Bai: "Single-on-one will definitely be no problem. If its body length is still no more than 800 meters, and the number of troops it carries does not exceed 200,000, I am sure that I can defeat it."
White Crystal Butterfly King : "Okay!"
The White Crystal Butterfly King warned: "Longbai Ant King, then you don't have to do anything else, just watch, don't show your strength easily, wait, wait for news, wait for opportunities."
Long Bai: "I understand."
The White Crystal Butterfly King looked at the Golden Zhejia King.
King Jin Zhejia reacted very quickly and immediately said: "King Longbai Ant, the ant army you brought should not be exposed too much. I will arrange a secluded ant nest for you to rest."
"Okay. !”
“I’m sorry, King Jin Zhejia.”
Long Bai said, “I will communicate directly with King Anmai about the battle.”
< br>White Crystal Butterfly King: "Of course."
Long Bai: "Under my command, King Mo Lan is responsible for delivering the message. In this way, Mo Lan and I will go to Yucai Island to visit King Anma and the other four leaders of Boshu Bay. Cui Bai, Yin Bai, you lead the ants Qun, follow King Jin Zhejia and find a place to stay."
"Okay!"
The insects agreed.
……
Yucai Island is directly west of Shizhe Mountain, and the straight-line distance is only a little over a hundred kilometers away.
With an area of approximately 13,000 square kilometers, it is by no means a small island.
It is nearly elliptical in shape, has a flat terrain, and is less than 30 meters above the sea. There are no high mountains or dangerous peaks, making it difficult for the Posehu Bay coalition forces to defend.
But if it were the Ishikari Blue Ants who were good at naval warfare and good at manipulating seawater to create tsunamis, this island could be easily transformed into a strategic stronghold that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Of course,
The Bo Shuwan Alliance also mobilized races specializing in earth abilities and carried out a large number of transformations on the island.
The outer and middle defenses, each garrison stronghold, are pyramids with heights ranging from thirty to forty meters to one hundred meters, connected into a piece.
The inner defense is composed of oval hills, rising and falling, and surrounding them twice.
The central area of the island is also dotted with many hills built with earth-based abilities, where the most elite regiments of the coalition are stationed.
In the center, there is a magnificent palace built with earth and stone, the main nest of war command.
Pentagon, five entrances, respectively, are the halls where the five chiefs handle affairs.
A large number of dragonflies, bees, butterflies, locusts and other Zerg warriors who are good at flying are either waiting outside the palace, hovering in the sky, or flying around to deliver messages.
The Alliance's fifteen million army operates in an orderly manner under the command of five leaders.
......
Long Bai and Mo Lan visited the Dark Maple Dragon King, and the White Crystal Butterfly King invited the other four leaders over to introduce them and conspire.
The main thing is planning, how to find an opportunity to kill the most threatening beast, the Ant King.
It seems that there is no opportunity for the time being.
According to frontline observation reports, the Ishikari blue ant army has been mobilized frequently and has begun to prepare for war. However, as always, the King of Ants starts at dawn and ends at dusk every day, focusing on training his 'Qi'. There is no trace of any accompanying troops participating in the war. meaning.
You will definitely not encounter it on the battlefield.
A sneak attack will not work either.
Even if the King of Beast Ants goes to sea, the farthest point is more than a hundred kilometers north of Bafangzhou, and will not leave the sight of the main nest reconnaissance king.
Moreover, at any time, there is a powerful ant king who also understands the devouring power of sea beasts, leading an elite ant army to follow and protect him.
At present, there is no opportunity to move the claws.
Dark Maple Dragon King: "I have observed and judged over the years that the Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom has placed all its hopes on the King of Ants, and will not easily arrange to participate in the war. I estimate that it will have to wait until the body of the Ants is fully grown. One thousand meters, it will only take action when it reaches the invincible state of the King of Fish Ants."
The White Crystal Butterfly King: "Currently, according to our observation, the body length of the King of Fish is only over 600 meters."
< br>
Zesheng Queen Bee: "It's impossible to progress so slowly. It must be suppressed and hidden."
Long Bai couldn't help but question: "Every move of Blue Island is under the gaze of Sunshine's ability. It's impossible. If King Kuoyu succeeds in a sneak attack like that back then, why is there any need to hide his strength?”
Queen Zesheng: “Blue Island must be planning a big, all-out attack, probably because they don’t want us to speculate? A specific time has been announced.”
Long Bai, Blood Vine Queen, Indigo Ant King, and Sanshou Ant King all shook their tentacles without saying a word to refute.
What’s the difference between knowing or not knowing? A large-scale outbreak of troops requires organizing a large army, frequently going to sea, and traveling far away to hunt for prey. It is impossible to hide it from reconnaissance.
The Dark Maple Dragon King asked: "Long Bai Ant King, are you sure you can deal with the thousand-meter-long beast in its peak state?"
Long Bai: "You can deal with it, but I'm not 100% sure. I There is still a lot of room for improvement, and I will definitely improve faster than it."
The Qingdai Ant King solemnly said: "The most terrifying thing about the Beast Ant King is its willpower. Whether it’s a violent storm or a scorching heat and snowstorm, my ability training never stops for a day.”
Long Bai: “I have been training hard for hundreds of years. Before I was promoted to the Insect King, I have been thinking about how to go. Deal with the Fish Ant King"
"...That's good!"
The Indigo Ant King obviously didn't believe that Long Bai could deal with the Beast Ant King on his own. He lowered his tentacles and murmured:
"I don't know why, I always have an uneasy premonition about this Beast Ant King. The instinctive panic originating from the depths of the soul cannot be calmed down no matter what."
The Blood Vine Queen Bee said indifferently: "The treacherous bearded ant, as its name suggests, is full of conspiracies and tricks, and is measured with the same mentality. The other insects seemed to be scheming against themselves, so they naturally felt uneasy."
The Indigo Ant King suddenly raised his head and raised his antennae.
Queen Zesheng stood up in a hurry and said: "Queen Blood Vine, this is your fault. Queen Indigo Ant is carefully analyzing the situation. Don't attack without any reason."
Blood Vine Queen Bee: "What has been analyzed?"
Zesheng Queen Bee: "When I was two hundred years old, I followed the Erguo Queen Bee to fight, and I have been fighting against Blue Island for more than two hundred years. I recognize the Indigo Ant Queen. According to the statement, the Beast Ant King must be brewing some conspiracy, but we have not been able to understand it."
The White Crystal Butterfly King also said: "I have been involved in the war for more than a hundred years, Ishikari Blue Ant. The clan's tricks are coming out one after another, and they are changing frequently. They may be planning something again, and they have to be on guard!"
After all, I can't tell what the beast ant king wants.
Long Bai listened silently and made a judgment in his mind: the five leaders of Bo Shuwan are of limited skill, and what’s more terrible is that they are not united internally.
However,
Long Bai thought for himself and couldn't figure out what other tricks Blue Island could play under the round-the-clock surveillance of Sunshine's ability.
After talking for a while,
the four leaders dispersed. Long Bai and Mo Lan also said goodbye to King Anma and returned to Shizhe Mountain.
……
Cuibai and Yinbai arranged for the accompanying 30,000 specialized blue soldiers.
Long Bai was carried by the sunset power and floated high in the sky, allowing the two of them to look at it with the sunburn power and familiarize themselves with the defenses of Yucai Island.
We can learn from it and build some similar fortifications on Hongdao later.
Fighting the Ishikari blue ants, the pyramid-shaped station can more effectively resist the impact of the tsunami.
At the same time, facing the attack of the Ishikari blue ants landing on the island, whether it is a long-range bombardment or a melee fight, occupying the high ground is a geographical advantage.
...
There are many ants and bees from the northern tropics in Bo Shue Bay.
Ishikari blue ants usually choose to start their wars in the coldest mid-winter season, taking full advantage of the climate.
There is still more than a month of waiting time.
With nothing to do every day, a large group of insects lie in the square on the top of the cliff and bask in the sun.
Long Bai and Mo Lan quickly became familiar with the environment and got acquainted with the resident Zerg warriors. They gathered together to chat, and it wasn't exactly chatting. Listening to what they said, you could hear many things about various kingdoms in Wanglan Continent. Interesting things, cryptic news.
To the north of Shizhe Mountain, 200 kilometers away, there is a fortress called Shark Bay.
To the south of Shizhe Mountain, about 150 kilometers away, there is a fortress called Qianli Mountain.
They are all garrisoned by the Fifth Army.
Wu Lan, the butterfly warrior, led Long Bai and Mo Lan to visit.
Mo Lan was the happiest, getting to know all kinds of weird insects. (End of this chapter)
