Astral Ant Tribe

A colorful butterfly flew over, hovering and looking at the Edelweiss Spider King from four to five hundred meters away.

"The richest man in Edelweiss?"

"Edelweiss Spider King."

"Aren't you spying on me?"

"It's me. But it's not peeping. I accidentally saw you while watching the battle. The Flame Spider Kingdom does not participate in the war, but it does not mean that it is indifferent. Many old spider kings in Shanglu are waiting for me to go back and report the war situation."

"New ability? Super long-distance visual reconnaissance ability?"

"Who are you……"

"Ying Mutian, Zi Ying, I have seen the richest man in Xue Rong."

"Edelweiss Spider King!"

The Edelweiss Spider King emphasized the correction. He hated it when other insects called him the richest man. It was too vulgar. This was a blasphemy against his holy character and lofty ideals.

"Edelweiss...Spider King..."

The Purple Butterfly King asked eagerly: "Edelweiss Spider King, has a new divine product been released in the mainland? Super long-distance reconnaissance capabilities?"

The Edelweiss Spider King said indifferently: "Yes. The divine Snow Orchid Seed was bred into a god-given seed of life. The warrior who bred it is still a lord. The flower and fruit cycle is long and the yield is extremely low. The first batch was produced. It’s gone. The next batch will be produced 30 years later. It’s too late for the war with Blue Island this time. If there is another war, it should be useful.”

Purple Butterfly King: "..."

Ziying Butterfly King: "What about the abilities given to me? Can you introduce me to them?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Nothing. As you said, it's just a super long-distance vision ability."

"oh--"

The Purple Jacaranda Butterfly King was suspicious, and his eyes fell on the towering water column that held up the Edelweiss Spider King.

Everyone knows that the planet under our feet is round and the sea surface is curved. If we only rely on pure visual ability, it is impossible to see more than two hundred kilometers away from this height.

——Because he is flying in the sky?

The Purple Butterfly King looked back, unsure.

The Edelweiss Spider King controls the trading channels for almost all divine fruits in the entire continent. He has eaten countless of them and has countless abilities.

The Purple Butterfly King did not hesitate and said enthusiastically: "Edelweiss Spider King, why don't you go to the rear of our coalition to watch the battle? We will inform you of the battlefield situation at any time."

Edelweiss Spider King: "No need. Flame Spider Travelers will not participate in the war. I don't want to cause misunderstandings or cause trouble. I just want to take a look here."

"OK--"

The Purple Butterfly King took the initiative to explain: "Currently both sides are testing and waiting. Ishikari Blue Ant is trying to lure us to fight deep into the island. The combat order issued by Sanguo Queen Bee is to seize the outer island, establish a defensive base, and form a comprehensive encirclement of Blue Island. The current battle to land on the island is a feint."

"Oh——" The Edelweiss Spider King understood the intentions of the Bo Shuwan coalition forces as soon as he heard this.

The west side of Blue Island is adjacent to the divine barrier, and there are islands of various sizes scattered on the east, south and north sides. There are as many as 34 islands covering tens or hundreds of square kilometers, and there are another 8 large islands covering an area of ​​thousands or tens of thousands of square kilometers. island.

The Bo Shuwan coalition forces must be planning to capture the islands and use the large and small islands as strongholds to besiege the Ishikari blue ants and cut off their source of food at sea.

Blue Island is just a deep-sea island of more than 300,000 square kilometers, and it cannot support the explosion of tens of millions of soldier ants.

Behind the Bo Shuwan coalition is the Wanglan Continent with an area of ​​40 million square kilometers, and behind it is the Zhibai Continent for long-range support. Logistics supplies are sufficient, and the coalition forces have no worries about food.

The two sides have been facing off across the sea for three to four months. If the siege continues for another two to three months, Blue Island's food reserves will definitely be exhausted.

From time to time, bee swarms with fire abilities are sent to the island to burn the orchards, cutting off the island's food output...

——It’s a good idea, but will the Ishikari Blue Ant just sit there and wait for death?

The Edelweiss Spider King asked without commenting: "Where is the One-Fruit Queen Bee? I need to visit her now that I have time. A war is a war, and we cannot slack off in the production of our territory."

Ziying Butterfly King: "Uh..."

——Damn profiteer!

The Ziying Butterfly King secretly cursed and explained politely: "The Bo Shuwan coalition forces are divided into five armies. The Yiguo Queen, the Shanke Ant King, and the Penang Blue Butterfly King command the first, second, and third armies respectively, starting from the due east. To launch an attack. At this time, Queen Yiguo is commanding the coalition forces to capture Haisong Island."

Edelweiss Spider King: "... Got it."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Then I'd better go to Muxian Peak to visit it in early summer next year."

Purple Butterfly King: "Do you need me to inform the Yiguo Queen Bee?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "If you encounter one, you can tell us, but there is no need to report it specifically."

Ziying Butterfly King: "Okay."

Ziying Butterfly King: "The war is still going on, so I will go back and monitor the battlefield first..."

The purple jacaranda butterfly king flickers away.

After a while,

Long Bai controlled the throne, emerged from the sea, and approached slowly.

"Edelweiss Spider King, have you heard any useful information?" Mo Lan asked.

Edelweiss Spider King: "No——"

The Edelweiss Spider King said briefly: "The general battle plan of the Bo Shuwan coalition is to first capture the islands surrounding Blue Island, form an encirclement, and cut off Blue Island's sea hunting channel."

The Edelweiss Spider King commented: "There are no new tactics. As far as I know, in the past battles of the coalition forces attacking Blue Island, the same tactics were used no less than three times, and they all ended in failure."

Edelweiss Spider King: "This time, I don't know what new tricks Yiguo Queen Bee and the others have come up with, but I'm not optimistic about it."

Molan's thoughts changed rapidly and she said worriedly: "This is not a wise move. If the blue island stone hunting blue ants unite and activate the tsunami power, wouldn't these islands be submerged in an instant? Those ants who can't swim or fly , isn’t it gone?”

Edelweiss Spider King: "Water comes with earth as a barrier. After occupying the island, immediately activate the earth ability and build fortifications. This time, there should be new earth ability or a new defense design. Let's wait and see. .”

The Edelweiss Spider King looked at Mo Lan and said, "Lord Mo Lan, you don't seem to be neutral? You are looking forward to the victory of the Bo Shuwan coalition."

Mo Lan said honestly: "Of course. The Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom occupies the scepter of the God of the Ocean, but cannot communicate. On the contrary, if the Boshuwan side wins and the Holy Butterfly tribe takes its place, perhaps, as long as they pay a certain price, You will be able to obtain the permission to use the Scepter of the God of the Ocean."

Mo Lan: "Edelweiss Spider King, you have also awakened your water talent..."

Edelweiss Spider King: "If possible, of course it would be best..."

Mo Lan looked at Long Bai.

Long Bai: "May the world be peaceful."

Cymbidium:"……"

Edelweiss Spider King: "..."

Mo Lan had a sudden thought and asked: "Long Bai, the Edelweiss Spider King, do you think it is possible that the throne of rulership and the scepter of the God of the Ocean come from the same civilization?"

——This question is so stupid~

——Can’t you see that the Ishikari blue ants are being attacked by a group?

——It’s too late to clear up the relationship, yet you still ask this question~

Long Bai shook his tentacles and said, "It's different. A very obvious difference. It's not a power system."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Longbai Ant King, don't be nervous, Xianglan Mountain is far away in Yunji Continent, no insect will go that far to attack you."

The Edelweiss Spider King put on a solemn tone and said, "I happen to know one thing about this issue. According to legend, the first ant king of the Ishikari Blue Ant Tribe to awaken the 'Sea Soul' ability came into contact with the Scepter of the God of the Ocean. At that time, I got a piece of information. The thing came from a barbaric civilization called '牉', which was destroyed by a civilization called 'human race'. They used starships to transport loot to a certain planet, but were intercepted by the true god of nature on the way. Grabbed it."

Mo Lan: "Uh..."

Long Bai: "I'm sure it doesn't come from a civilization."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Then your throne of dominance comes from..."

Long Bai: "The creator civilization. It was a peace-loving civilization that didn't like fighting. It was also destroyed by human civilization."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Oh——"

The Edelweiss Spider King was silent for a few seconds and muttered: "That's quite a coincidence. They were all plundered by human civilization and then taken away by the true god of nature."

Mo Lan: "It seems that every time the Force reincarnates, starships will fall from the sky. Does the true god of nature have a grudge against human civilization? Is he staring at human civilization to rob him?"

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "This human civilization is not weak!"

Edelweiss Spider King: "With our knowledge, we can't understand it, and we can't speculate..."

…

After a few discussions,

The throne of dominance ascended vertically into the sky.

Black Birch adjusted, locked on the distant sea area, activated the sunburn ability, and continued to observe the battlefield.

as expected,

On the island captured by the Bo Shuwan coalition, tens of thousands of termite soldiers landed on the island on ice ships. Under the command of King Zuo, they quickly occupied the highlands, moved mountains and stones, and built spire fortresses one after another.

There is not much intrigue in a war of this scale. It is an incredible skill to be able to command and coordinate teams from hundreds of different kingdoms so that they can play the unique role of their race in an orderly manner.

Black Birch paused and rested, constantly adjusting his perspective to observe the warring parties.

At present,

On the Poshuwan coalition side, all ethnic groups cooperated in an orderly manner, and there was no sign of disorder.

The Blue Island Ishikari Blue Ants seem to be retreating steadily. If you look closely, the intention of luring them is too obvious. They are trying to lead the coalition forces attacking the island into the depths of the main island.

But the Pau Shue Wan coalition side was not fooled at all...

…

In the western sky, the setting sun looks like blood.

The battle is becoming more and more fierce, but no substantial progress can be seen. The only ones killed and injured in the fighting are soldier ants and worker bees. To the queen ant and queen bee, they are just a number.

The throne of domination falls.

"Anything new?"

The Edelweiss Spider King asked.

"No."

Long Bai replied: "Looking at the situation, there won't be any big moves within two or three days."

Black Birch took the initiative and said: "I made a simple observation and statistics. There are about 80,000 to 100,000 Ishikari blue ants fighting on about 50 kilometers of coastline."

Hei Hua: "We can do another calculation. Blue Island has a sudden increase of 10 million soldier ants. What is the original number of soldier ants on the island? There are at least 10 million, right? Blue Island's military strength should be more than 20 million. They are distributed all over the island. For a thousand kilometers of coastline, there should be an average of 20,000 troops per kilometer, and for a 50-kilometer coastline, there should be one million troops. Only one-tenth of the troops are deployed now, and they are the ones who are old, disabled or congenitally weak."

Black Birch concluded: "The war has just begun."

"A king who has inherited the wisdom of the ant king."

The Edelweiss Spider King praised, controlled the sky-high water column to slowly descend, and said: "No one in the war is in a hurry, and we don't have to be impatient. Eat and drink enough, rest well, and watch slowly."

"yes--"

"good--"

Long Bai and Mo Lan agreed.

Return to the sea.

Activate the freezing ability to form an ice floe with a radius of 100 meters.

Heihua went to the sea to fish, and everyone sat together, eating, talking, and resting late at night.

The next morning,

The throne of domination took off early...

Black Birch activates the sunburn ability to observe and report.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the four islands within our observation range have all been captured by the Bo Shuwan coalition forces. A large number of termites and ants are cooperating to build spire fortresses."

Long Bai asked: "Is there anything special about these fortresses?"

Hei Hua: "It's just piled up with ordinary soil and rocks, and then solidified with earth-type abilities. If you look closely, you can't see anything special."

Long Bai: "Where is the direction of the coastline?"

Hei Hua: "I'll see again..."

Black Birch rests for a while, activates the sunburn ability and looks again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there seems to be a truce on the coastline. The Allied Forces from the Hashima Bay side have occupied the coastal highlands. There is no trace of the Ishikari Blue Ant side."

Hei Hua: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, this is not normal..."

Long Bai: "Perhaps a war is brewing. Don't guess! Both sides are commanded by the experienced old queen bee and old ant queen. And what have we experienced? We can't guess. We are the audience. , just watch with peace of mind, watch more and learn more."

Black Birch: "I understand, Your Majesty!"

Mo Lan kicked off the throne, swooped down, and reported to the Edelweiss Spider King.

Keep observing,

There was no big movement all day.

The Edelweiss Spider King was too lazy to hold up the water column and climb up to have a distant view. He simply waited on the sea surface for Mo Lan to come down and report.

Continue to observe,

For four consecutive days, defenses continued to be built on the islands around Blue Island, and ice ships were intermittently carrying ant soldiers to the island in kingdom units. After landing on the island, he immediately disappeared into the steeple fortress.

On the Blue Island, Occasionally, the Bo Shuwan team would send a team to explore the depths of the island; and from time to time, a team of blue soldiers would emerge from the forest and attack the Bo Shuwan team.

Small-scale conflicts continued, but there was no movement of large troops.

without warning,

Late at night on the fifth day, the Snow Spider King and Mo Lan, who were resting on the ice floe, woke up at the same time.

Mo Lan jumped up, shaking her mental energy and shouting:

"Long Bai! Black Birch! Get up! It's starting!"

Long Bai and Black Birch woke up.

Mo Lan raised her paw and pointed towards the south, and said in horror: "What a terrifying force fluctuation!"

How does a little lord-level mantis sense fluctuations in the force? The Edelweiss Spider King was surprised, but didn't think much about it. He stared at the south and said in a heavy tone:

"In the end, it was the Ishikari Blue Ants who couldn't hold back anymore and took the lead in launching the attack."

Without waiting for Long Bai and Mo Lan to ask,

The Edelweiss Spider King added: "I guess this time is still just a test."

"..."

Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Hei Hua were speechless, and at the same time they didn't quite understand.

What are you trying again and again? Should we fight or not?

next moment,

The rumbling roar of the waves rolled in like the earth was shattering.

What followed was a huge wave of forty to fifty meters high.

The Snow Spider King activated his ability, and the floating ice under the feet of the insects turned into snow-white color. The cold air expanded in all directions, like snakes flying around, and the surrounding seawater froze, turning into a white ice network with a radius of more than a thousand meters.

Click~click~click~

The ice is broken,

The surging waves lifted the ice floe we were standing on dozens of meters high, and then fell heavily.

The Snow Velvet Spider King continues to output its force, forming a spider web of ice around the ice floe to withstand the impact of waves and reduce turbulence.

Wave after wave.

In the vast sea, snow-white ice floes rise and fall with the huge waves.

The night raid on Blue Island activated the tsunami ability, which must have used tsunamis to hit the islands occupied by Bo Shuwan.

More than two hundred kilometers away, the waves reached a height of forty or fifty meters. How violent was the tsunami that hit the island?

Long Bai, Mo Lan and Hei Hua were inexplicably shocked.

The word 'terrible' is no longer enough to describe the strength of the Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom.

"careful!"

The Edelweiss Spider King suddenly warned, his original energy exploded, and the ice floe carrying everyone suddenly collapsed, leaving only the two pointed ship shapes. Under the control of the majestic water force, it rode the wind and waves, speeding among the waves.

At the same time, Mo Lan also noticed something unusual and warned in a low voice: "Underwater! There are ants chasing us!"

Long Bai subconsciously activated his soul-fixing ability to scan the deep sea, but suppressed it in time. His soul-fixing ability must not be exposed.

"Ishikari Blue Ant?"

Long Bai asked.

"Ishikari Blue Ant."

The Edelweiss Spider King answered and added: "The leader is a Poseidon warrior. It is activating the 'Sea Soul' ability to sense and lock our position."

Long Bai was puzzled, "How did they find it here? It's more than two hundred kilometers away."

Edelweiss Spider King: "I don't understand either."

Edelweiss Spider King: "This is a battlefield. If we don't conflict with them, we will retreat."
