Chapter 25 General vigilance
Triselle has been helping their "Pope" hide his true identity and whereabouts, so he must know where the Pope is now.
The Mother Worm immediately ordered the infected to interrogate him intensively, and soon dug out of his mind the image of the last time he saw the Pope and cast spells on him.
Through this information, the swarm found out hundreds of footholds and temporary hideouts of the "Pope" in various parts of the Macatata Kingdom, and to the surprise of the Bug Mothers, several of these temporary hideouts were actually located in the capital of the Macatata Kingdom!
The Mother of Worms, Aranoda, immediately ordered the swarm units near these hideouts to immediately raid and encircle all the locations that had been marked, and even notified the Second Fleet that they hoped to receive air support and cooperation.
However, unfortunately, the "Pope" of the Sect of Extermination of Insects has apparently learned the information that the high-level strongholds in the White Wind Castle have been destroyed by the swarm through some channel, and he seems to be very familiar with the ability of the swarm to obtain information from the captives, so after receiving this information, he immediately abandoned all the hiding places he had used, and once again escaped from the round-up of the swarm.
However, even so, the destruction of the advanced organization of the Exterminator Sect still greatly affected the plan he wanted to implement next.
Although the current "Pope" is not a lonely person, the Sect of Extermination has also degenerated from a large, fast-growing rebel organization to a third-rate underground organization that can barely muster even a thousand people.
The power he has in his hands is completely insufficient to support his ambitions, so if he is to continue to disguise himself as a "prophet" in front of others, then he needs greater support from the will of the world.
In order to achieve this goal, the "Pope" took all the remaining men under his command, including the "reserve exterminators" in the remaining training sites that had not yet been wiped out by the swarm, and very decisively abandoned the remaining inheritance of the Makatata Kingdom and fled into the vast, endless, cold, ice-covered plains of the northern part of the giant continent.
It is said that it was there that the "Pope" received the "divine revelation" of the "true God", and now in this time of crisis, he needs to receive another "divine revelation" to determine the next path of the sect of extermination.
The Pope did not tell anyone about the purpose of the expedition, and he ordered the few remaining psionic users under his command to take care of the ordinary cultists and the townspeople he had previously taken captive from the town.
He kept this trip secret, eliminating almost all possible leaks, and even commissioned the last of his "deputy teachers" to lead a small group of men and horses in the other direction as soon as they entered the ice plains, in order to mislead the swarm into possible tracking.
I have to say that he has indeed done a very good job of secrecy, especially when the will of the world is still on his side, all kinds of situations that are beneficial to him will happen to him very frequently.
For example, not long after the group stepped into the ice plain, a huge snowstorm immediately blew behind them.
The blizzard obscured all tracks, and the clouds gathered high in the sky also affected the sight of the King Bug to monitor the area.
However, although the "Pope" of the Sect of Extermination concealed his tracks almost seamlessly, the colony commander of the insect swarm sensed that something was wrong in the suddenly calm atmosphere of the kingdom.
In the past, no matter how brutal the swarm was to the Sect of Extermination, those who were more tenacious than the cockroach would always return the favor later in the future - although under normal circumstances, this kind of retaliation would have no meaning other than to send more heads and prisoners to the swarm, but even so, they had to make a show anyway as a response to the swarm eradication.
But this time, when the insect swarm overthrew the high-level stronghold of the Extermination Sect in the White Wind Castle, the Extermination Sect calmed down at once, which was extremely abnormal.
Aranoda also guessed that maybe the wounds caused by this operation were too deep for the other party to have to hide and lick the wounds first, or maybe the current trend of the people in the Makatata Kingdom was too clear, and they had no intention of carrying out that kind of action that was only symbolic.
Both possibilities existed, but Aranoda was not convinced.
As the supreme commander of the swarm stationed on this colonized planet, it knows its own jurisdiction very well.
It has a very deep understanding of the characteristics of the only resistance force in the jurisdiction, the Sect of Extermination.
It is well aware of the habits of these rats, who used to be active in the shadows, and although they are difficult to trace, they will not disappear as completely as they do now.
And if they do, it's a sign that they're planning a big deal!
In addition, according to the information sent by the Guardian King Worm all over the world, the activity of those underground veins and psionic gathering points is becoming more and more intense, and if this state continues, the so-called "Judgment Day" in the mouth of the so-called "Pope" may explode within five Giant Continent World Days.
At this time, those guys suddenly disappeared, and it was obvious that they were plotting something related to this!
After Aranoda deduced this conclusion, he immediately increased the overall monitoring of the entire Giant Continent by the Surveillance King Worm Network, and at the same time, it also made the "Shadow Legion" in the Makatata Kingdom, that is, the shadow insects and mimic chicks that infiltrated various areas, active, and collected all the information about the movements of the Sect of Extermination.
After that, it wanted to send a request for reinforcements from the Second Fleet anchored in outer space of this world, so that the fleet could send a branch force to help the ground forces monitor the towns of the Makatata Kingdom that were about to be attacked by underground water veins in real time.
Finally, Aranoda sends a battle warning to the Worm Mother who commands the fleet, asking the flagship Leviathan to remain active, ready to deal with the final struggle from the will of the world of this world.
All of these orders were quickly enforced, and the hives around the continent began to enter a state of wartime alert.
The worker bees' resource collection work was temporarily reduced to 30%, and only required to maintain the daily consumption of the swarm, while the other worker bees were recalled to the hive and retreated into a dormant state to avoid unnecessary losses in the upcoming war.
All swarm units are rezoned into war zones, and each war zone is led by a worm mother to prepare for war.
The hive began to hatch a large number of spinal needle reptiles and spore reptiles as fortifications, and the fungus blanket began to expand wildly with the help of king insects, mother worms, and toadstools.
At the same time, Aranoda also summoned the king of the kingdom of Makatata and a group of high-ranking members of the kingdom who had the status of "Priests of the Worm God", and asked them to immediately start mobilizing for war and gather soldiers to prepare for the upcoming war.
