Void Overlord: Ten Thousand Races Struggle For Hegemony

Ye Fei discovered that this void creature did not attack the territory barrier. It was just staring at the territory with its large eyes, as if the invisibility effect of the territory barrier did not exist in front of it.

[Exploration Eye Worm: Void Worm, Rank Two, a creature evolved for observing everything, a member of the worm swarm.]

"Exploration Eye Worm? A scout."

Upon seeing this, Ye Fei immediately understood why this exploration eye worm did not attack the territory barrier. It was specifically used for reconnaissance, and the units responsible for attacking had not arrived yet.

"The worm swarm is not good news. I just don't know how far this eye worm is from the main force of the swarm and when the swarm's troops will arrive. What will be the scale?" Ye Fei speculated with a heavy heart.

Ye Fei also understood that since this eye worm had already detected the vicinity of the territory, the swarm should not be too far from the Absolute Beginning.

However, he still hoped that the swarm's troops would arrive later. Every day that passed, he would become stronger and have a better chance of dealing with the swarm's attacks.

When Ye Fei arrived, Wang Qing hurriedly approached him. He also had a backbone now. "Big brother, you finally came."

"Aqing, you handled it well. I'll take care of things here. You can go back and reassure the fishing team. Wang Zhan will take care of things here." Ye Fei asked Wang Qing, who was waiting on the side, to return first.

"Okay, big brother." Wang Qing obediently agreed. He had grown a lot now and knew that he couldn't help much here. He would only bring trouble to his big brother. Managing the fishing team was what he should do now.

Ye Fei was somewhat surprised by Wang Qing's reaction. He didn't expect Wang Qing to agree so readily.

"This kid is growing up so fast. He's no longer as foolish as before," Ye Fei thought as he watched Wang Qing's departing figure.

Not long after, Wang Zhan led the combat team to arrive.

A team of twenty-three people, dressed in neat black armor, equipped with nothing lower than Rank Two, and all with at least Rank Two initial strength. This was Ye Fei's confidence.

Ye Fei and Wang Zhan stayed at the border, observing the outside situation. The exploration eye worm outside remained in its observing state without any changes, and there were no new members of the worm swarm appearing.

After guarding for half a day and seeing no changes, Ye Fei decided to change his approach.

"It won't work to just keep waiting. Since the swarm can't arrive immediately, the production and life in the territory must continue. We can't keep stopping and wasting time."

Ye Fei made up his mind and called Wang Zhan to give orders.

"The combat team will be divided into two parts. One part with ten people, and then five groups of two people each will be assigned to guard the territory in five directions. The two parts will take turns to be on guard duty throughout the day and be ready for combat immediately if there is any situation."

Ye Fei planned to continue developing the territory while maintaining vigilance. With the barrier in place, even if the swarm arrived, they could defend against it and have time to prepare.

Ye Fei also arranged for Liu Si to stay at Wang Qing's fishing spot permanently to provide protection for Wang Qing's fishing team.

After making the arrangements, Ye Fei returned to the Overlord Mansion and called Zhou Heng.

"Manager Zhou, the territory is now on high alert, but production and life in the territory cannot stop. Arrange the small teams to continue their production work."

"I understand, sir. But won't there be some risks in doing so?" Zhou Heng was worried about any unexpected incidents.

"In special times, not developing is a slow death. So development cannot stop. However, your concerns are valid, which is why I need you to take care of the defense preparations. Once an invasion occurs, you can start the evacuation work directly without having to consult me."

Ye Fei was unsure when the insect swarm would arrive. It could take a long time or it could invade in the next moment. This was unpredictable. During this time, Ye Fei had to do everything he could to strengthen the territory.

Zhou Heng went back to organize the resumption of work and production in the territory. Wang Qing was also arranged by Ye Fei to continue organizing fishing.

After arranging all the affairs of the territory, Ye Fei rubbed his throbbing head. His current mentality was a bit restless and urgent, but he didn't show it to Zhou Heng and the others. As the Overlord, he was not alone now and couldn't casually show his emotions.

"Mount Tai collapses in front without changing color, the deer rises to the left without blinking. I still need to continue working hard!"

Feeling the change in his mentality, Ye Fei sighed with emotion.

Ye Fei opened the Ten Thousand Worlds Channel to search for information on the Void Insect Race. Countless information flooded his vision.

The insect swarm was a disaster in the void, with countless numbers and endless varieties. Whether it was life or vegetation, they would devour and convert them into nourishment to expand the size of the insect swarm.

They had powerful evolutionary and adaptive abilities. They could quickly mutate according to changes in the environment, evolving new abilities to adapt to new environments in just one or two generations.

From the size of a grain of rice to covering the sky and stretching endlessly, the individual strength ranged from Rank One insects to the leaders of Rank Nine insect swarms.

"Have these other races encountered the Insect Race? The number is so large." Looking at the numerous types of insect swarm information, Ye Fei gained a visual understanding of the Void Insect Race. There was very little information about the insect swarm in the Blue Star Channel, and he didn't expect the insect swarm to be so active in the Ten Thousand Worlds Channel.

By searching for keywords, Ye Fei collected a lot of useful information in the Ten Thousand Worlds Channel.

"The level of the nest explored by Rank Two Scout Eye Insects will not exceed Rank Three. Most of the insect swarms that come out of Rank Three nests are led by Rank Two insects commanded by Rank Three insects..."

Looking at the key information, Ye Fei silently compared it. According to the current strength of Absolute Beginning, if the opponent was a Rank Three Late Stage nest, he would have no problem dealing with it. But if it was a Rank Three Peak nest, he would be in trouble.

"If it's a Rank Four nest, the insect army that goes out to forage would have the ability to completely destroy Absolute Beginning. It's annoying to rely on luck and the unpredictable void for one's fate!"

Ye Fei closed the Ten Thousand Worlds Channel and opened the Blue Star Channel to start editing the information about the Insect Race. He planned to carefully record the entire process of the insect swarm invasion and later edit it into a guide to deal with the Insect Race.

He had previously edited his battles with the Orcs and Devourers into separate books, and in the future, he would compile them into a guide to deal with all races.

"The territory's battle team, along with several other Rank Two residents, has a total of thirty people. The rest are at Rank One. The newly recruited farmers are still at Rank One Initial Stage. It seems that I need to expand the army again."

Ye Fei calculated that he could still arm thirty warriors with the current reserves of pills and other supplies. He used the remaining Origin Points to purchase thirty Rank One warriors and urgently trained them, using pills to quickly reach Rank Two.

After that, he used the remaining Origin Points to purchase some disposable special arrows. The territory currently couldn't produce these special crossbow arrows, so they had to rely on the mall to purchase them. In addition to Li Letian's procurement and Wang Qing's collection, Ye Fei's reserve of military supplies was quite abundant.

The Void Crossbows in the territory were initially fixed at the border, regardless of how the territory expanded. The Void Crossbows would always be at the border, and in order to better utilize them, Ye Fei had tried to separate their positions as much as possible when initially determining their locations, evenly fixing them along the territory's border.

As the territory expanded, the practicality of the Void Crossbows against enemies also rapidly decreased. However, Ye Fei didn't plan to rely on the Void Crossbows for long-range suppression firepower.

He now had five Rank Two ballistas, which were obtained by Wang Qing from the storage box. In fact, there were more Rank One ballistas opened by Wang Qing, but after testing, Ye Fei found that the power of the Rank One ballistas was negligible, so he sold them all and only kept the Rank Two ones.

"I hope I have a few more days, then I'll be more confident." Ye Fei looked at the endless void in the territory's sky, not knowing where the insect swarm's forces were now.

Ye Fei took out a few recently cherished items. Originally, he didn't plan to use them now. The territory expanded rapidly, and the current distribution of buildings was not reasonable. He planned to expand the territory a bit more and properly plan the first town of Absolute Beginning.

"It seems that reality doesn't allow me to plan slowly. Well, it's the same whether I use them now or later. After all, they are all low-level buildings. If necessary, I can just put in some effort to demolish and rebuild them."
