Dragonfly Warriors are the kings of the skies. Not only do they fly fast and see far, but their ability to dive and strike from above is also number one in the Insect Clan.
White Willow was very confident, thinking that with a sudden air raid, neither Dragon Cypress nor Ink Orchid would have time to react.
How did a mere Assistant King manage to react? Not only did it respond, but it instantly released powerful Earth System Abilities as well.
White Willow hovered high in the sky, figure flickering, and landed directly on Ghost Fan's carapace, head turned back, facing Spruce, speaking in a rapid-fire tone:
"I've discovered the enemy's Lord-Level Assistant King!"
"I've figured out the distribution of Assistant Kings in the Termite Kingdom!"
"About five or six Mountain Lord-Level Assistant Kings are guarding the Life Seed Gardens where the White Poplar Ant King is planting Life Seed Plants. The Lord-Level Assistant Kings guard the garden where the Red Phellodendron Ant Queen is planting Life Seeds."
"The one I found is called 'Red Top', an Assistant King who is a confidant of the Red Phellodendron Ant Queen!"
"That one called 'White Thousand' is stationed at the Royal Palace, defending the Ant King and Ant Queen's evolution!"
"Spruce, report the news to the Dragon Cypress Ant King immediately!"
Spruce: "!!!"
Spruce: "Understood!"
White Willow raised a claw to indicate the direction and said, "Over there! I've locked onto the tracks of 'Red Top Assistant King', it's just on the road to the Royal Palace. Should we rush over and kill it?"
Ghost Fan raised its forelimbs, and the charging team halted abruptly.
Ghost Fan said sternly, "Don't act on your own! Listen to the Dragon Cypress Ant King's orders. Don't create complications."
Snakebark Maple raised a claw, proposing: "The battlefield changes rapidly. We ought to adapt flexibly. I actually think White Willow's proposal is good. By beheading 'Red Top Assistant King', we can lure out that 'White Thousand Assistant King' and give Ink Orchid an opportunity."
Blue Catalpa: "Snakebark Maple's analysis makes sense."
White Rice: "Snakebark Maple is right!"
Black Rice echoed: "Snakebark Maple is right!"
Mulberry hesitated: "I think... maybe not?"
At the rear of the team, Mountain Persimmon couldn't endure it and suggested: "Everyone, don't act rashly. Contact the Dragon Cypress Ant King and wait for its instructions."
...
Southern Stone Bridge, on both banks.
At this moment, the various Assistant Kings of the Termite Kingdom had already reacted. They swiftly called back the scattered Soldier Ants and Worker Ants, quickly organizing them into standardized Ant Armies, and in a methodical manner, launched attacks against the Giant-Headed Ant army entrenched along the riverbank.
Termite Soldier Ants were at the front, separated by a distance of 40 to 50 meters, Earth System Abilities condensed sharp stone thorns, launching them from afar.
Dragon Cypress swung its tentacles, and the vanguard Soldier Ants charged forward.
The Termite army immediately responded. Worker Ants from the rear moved up, engaging the Giant-Headed Ant Soldiers.
Spiked Cypress issued the order, and the First Legion's Blue Soldiers charged forward carrying Water Spheres.
In an instant,
fierce pheromones filled the air.
On the ground, pitch-black Soldier Ants and black-and-white Worker Ants fought in a chaotic melee.
In the low air, thousands upon thousands of Ice Cones and Stone Thorns fired at each other in a barrage.
The Dominating Throne hovered overhead, the Hydrology Shield glowing with a dim blue light. Dragon Cypress looked down over the battlefield, and the tentacles it had been waving suddenly went rigid.
The Soul-Setting Ability communicated with Spruce, receiving three succinct messages:
[White Willow has discovered the enemy 'Red Top Assistant King', it is leading troops south as reinforcements]
[It is inferred that 'White Thousand Assistant King' is guarding the Royal Palace]
[White Willow suggests intercepting and killing 'Red Top Assistant King', to lure out 'White Thousand Assistant King', creating conditions for Ink Orchid's assassination]
Dragon Cypress's eyes flashed with light, thoughts turning at lightning speed, and it responded: "Kill!"
...
"Order from the Dragon Cypress Ant King: Kill!"
The opportunity was fleeting. Spruce dared not delay for an instant, flapped its wings hard to signal there should be no more debate, lifted its forelimb and pointed, saying:
"Soul-Setting Ability has locked onto it. Over there! Charge!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Electrocute it!"
"White Willow, lead the way from above!"
Ghost Fan lowered its head and charged forward.
White Willow beat its wings and took off.
Ghost Fan surveyed all directions, and at the same time called back: "Snakebark Maple, Mulberry, use your strongest abilities to attack. Spruce and White Rice, defend the rear. Black Rice, use attack abilities for cover."
—Kill!
—Kill!
—Kill!
All the insects quickly fell into step, murderous intent boiling over as they dashed straight for Assistant King Red Top's position.
At this moment, Assistant King Red Top was still standing in place, pacing back and forth.
Upon receiving enemy attack information, its first reaction was that the Barley Bug Warriors had revolted.
Those Barley Bug Warriors had always been up to tricks.
Assistant King Red Top was dismissive, proceeding to investigate at an unhurried pace.
However, on the way it was suddenly attacked by a mysterious black Dragonfly Warrior. Only then did Assistant King Red Top realize the gravity of the situation.
But—
How could there be Insect Clan Warriors in the Termite Kingdom besides Barley Bugs? And at Mountain Lord Level!
Not a Termite Kingdom insect?
Then where did it come from?
How did it get in?
How many are there?
Assistant King Red Top was at a loss.
Instinctively, it wanted to head to the Royal Palace to report to the Ant Queen and Ant King, but they were currently asleep in evolution...
Should it go to support the White Poplar Ant King's Life Seed Garden?
Or return to the Red Phellodendron Ant Queen's Life Seed Garden and focus on its own duties?
The air was thick with intense pheromones, suggesting that over by the Southern Stone Bridge, the battle was fierce and the Termite Kingdom was facing an unprecedentedly strong enemy.
Assistant King Red Top became even more worried about the Life Seed Garden of the Red and White Ant Queens under its protection. Pacing anxiously, it finally decided to run back.
But just as it was about to issue commands, the Worker Ants scattered around its perimeter began to stir restlessly.
—Enemy attack!
—Enemy attack!
—Enemy attack!
The alarm signals were urgent and intense.
Charge! Charge! Charge!
Ghost Fan's carapace was covered by a Metal Primordial Energy Shield, wind veils swirled all around, charging madly at the front of the team, smashing through everything in its way.
The Elite Combat Team members closed ranks and followed closely.
Black Rice constantly manipulated the surrounding grasses and branches, turning them into blades to kill any desperate Termite Worker Ants that leapt at them.
The scattered Termite squads rapidly contracted, surrounding them.
