His Majesty the Emperor, in the end, did not have the opportunity to receive letters from Genghe.

Holy Gu Calendar, March 9, 107.

In the Crouching Beast Desert, the Emperor's troops are marching on the Gobi Stone Beach. The long-legged war Gu worms are like war horses running on the ancient road.

Carnivores have short legs, which are conducive to low prostrate and explosive culling; Herbivores have long legs, which are conducive to maintaining momentum and running long distances. These are all specialized needs for 'survival of the fittest'. But these Gu worms, the first time Zhou You saw these baggage bugs, I felt that it was really an eye-opener.

The baggage insect has two sets of legs, and in wartime it is in an assault form, and its short and thick legs are as powerful as the legs of a jumping spider.

And now these six are slender legs. It is usually like a tentacle, shrinking into one's own body, and when it is needed, the nutrient solution in the body will be quickly injected into the flexible bone tube, hardening it and forming a running structure.

Of course, if they are not needed, these long poles and six-legged legs will fall off. The detached structure can be devoured and recovered by the mouth, reducing material loss.

This double-legged mechanism is comparable to a wheel gear lever.

Now this golden corps in the state of the army is moving towards the north. And in the sky, dozens of wyverns monitor the earth and probe the surrounding situation.

However, these large wyverns with wings spread out fifty meters, their rows of eyes scanning the land, it is difficult to notice some ultra-small beetles. The beetles rose into the air in the light of a transparent balloon, circled in the sky, and flew away.

Fifty-three kilometers away, in a sand dune.

A certain concubine attendant under the command of the fourth prince looked at the imperial heavy beetle in the hive through the shared perspective of the beetle, and the pupils flashed with conspiracy.

Night.

When the corps returning to the imperial capital broke through to a dry river. The sound of the swarm's metal limbs and feet rubbing against the ground has changed significantly from before.

His Majesty the Emperor whipped his whip and stopped to look at the rugged river that had been washed out in the era of the Dilu Rainstorm in the early days of the Great Creation Era, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly flashed in his heart.

He looked at the protruding volcanic cone-like dunes with a diameter of 100 meters in the distance. These dunes average 500 meters each, making the area look like a large mass of graves. At the tops of these dunes, there are thermals that writhe the light.

He hurriedly asked the attendant on the side. After the attendant took out the paper book, he said, "Your Majesty, this is the nest of the Imperial Tomb Worms. ”

The emperor shouted: "What worm!?" ”

Frightened by the emperor's suddenly increased voice, the attendant hurriedly and cautiously said, "Yes, the Imperial Tomb Worms, the seventh-level worms, they are usually very quiet. Survive by devouring underground metals. ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "This place is ominous to me, leave quickly." ”

However, at this moment, there was an explosion underground, and with a terrifying tremor, a large number of worms poured out from the top of the volcanic cone. This brownish worm gives the visual impression of a column of feces erupting.

When the worm springs out, it emits an unpleasant odor, which is the odor pheromone.

Then, frantically search for targets that are not of the same kind.

Most Gu worms are usually low-level and subordinate to high-level. - This obedience mechanism usually depends on which side has a strong electromagnetic information field.

However, there are some special situations, when some high-level female worms sense the threat of death, they will order all low-level Gu worms to distinguish friend from foe according to pheromones.

At that time, different nests of the same species of bugs would fight each other. However, it will give priority to the individual with the biggest gap between the pheromone and himself. That is, the alien zerg.

And under the command of this chemical pheromone, although the worm has no tactics, it does not shy away from higher-level Gu worms, which is the mechanism for low-level female Gu to fight back.

When a mound erupts in the distance.

The emperor was shocked in his heart, but his face was resolute, and he ordered the war Gu worms under his command to form a battle array. The sparkling golden armor Gu worm suddenly formed a metal city wall,

And the emperor called his own golden-armored horned dragon and tried to take to the air to command the war. The four-winged wings were ordered to dive downward, and in an instant only the shadows of the wings were left on the ground.

Looking down on the earth from the sky, the emperor's corps was effectively commanded for the first time, and it was quickly arranged as a golden ring protective belt, blocking the surprise attack of the dung-colored "earthworms" who were pouring in from all directions.

However, although the Emperor of Heaven can easily and quickly issue orders to all the corps, he also has a significant goal.

In less than two minutes, there was a lot of flapping wings in the sky. Dozens of white flying Gu worms were flying towards the golden armor dragon in the sky, and it seemed that they had been waiting in the sky for a long time.

The emperor looked into the distance, and his face was horrified!

With the emperor's final unwillingness and angry rebuke: "Feathered locusts! The locusts, carrying nitroglycerin, crashed into the emperor's sun-like mount. The firelight gave the empire's great man a grand funeral.

Golden Beetle Empire, II, Collapse.

Twenty minutes later, the desert worm swarm, repulsed by the generals on the ground, hurried towards the place where the emperor had fallen, only to see the remains of the broken golden-armored dragon, and the emperor's torn armor and bones. The generals of these empires were in the dust.

……

And two thousand kilometers away, at sunset.

In a pavilion, the four princes who were boiling tea, after getting the news from their cronies, Huo Ran stood up, walked to the wall and picked up a chess piece, blocking a big dragon in the chess game on the wall.

The troubled times have come once and for all.

……

Today, most aristocratic families are watching and trying to fish in troubled waters. But these nobles didn't expect that they would be dragged into this muddy water.

That's how unlucky the Feathered Locust family is. His family's characteristic self-detonating Gu worm, the prince who was nominally supported by himself, just risked the world's condemnation to assassinate the Holy Gu II. All the princes of the empire were in an uproar, and they all rebuked the winged locusts for doing this in the midst of the national mourning.

The Feather-winged Flame Locust family is now speechless, and probably the most hated thing is why the fourth child who is allied with him is so confused, and why he is dancing this kind of big rebellion and making such a big death at this time. And from the perspective of the fourth prince, if you don't jump now, you won't have to jump in the future.

This royal family knows very well about the frontier officials like the Feather-winged Flame Locust Family.

Recently, the Flame Locust has connected most of the nobles in the north, and it has a tendency to create an independent kingdom. - There's also the reason for the voyage of the universe. The industrial center of Ranlun in Xiahong has promoted the exchange of materials along the northern coastline to a certain extent. And Huangyi City, which endorses Xia Hongdao politically, has also achieved great benefits in this kind of communication.

The fourth prince must not allow the winged locust to fly alone, if the winged locust is full-fledged, he will not be allowed to change the host and guest. Moreover, the cooperation between Zeyou and His Majesty the Emperor has led to the fact that some of the factions of the Feathered Flame Locust have now become the Emperor faction. If this faction is allowed to maintain its position within the Locust, the Feathered Locust may use the Four Princes as bargaining chips to trade with the Hub.

Therefore, this is also the reason why the four princes united with the Flying Locust family's own mother's faction to plan to go alone.

The Feather-winged Flame Locust family is already jumping chickens and dogs.

Externally, it must be consistent with the outside, but internally, the entire family was originally good, but it was dragged into the water by a few people...... The head of the family wants to rebel internally, but he is afraid of damaging the foundation of the family.

……

And the burning wheel is here.

Zhou You: "Political Qingming, Qingming...... With the chaos of this 'inner house' struggle as a counterexample, I finally know the meaning of the word. ”

Burning Wheel has always regarded the Burning Locust as a stable chain of interests. Minerals, talents, based on these chains of interests, the burning wheel obeys some of the orders of the locust, and when necessary, heeds the strong advice of the locust to strike at the common enemy of both sides. For example, the Floating Family.

If the Flame Locust does not hesitate to damage its reputation and threaten with the material chain, Zeyou will really have to destroy the floating family on the island. But after it is destroyed, it will definitely work harder to develop independently, and it will become more and more cautious in its cooperation with the locusts.

This kind of 'hand-holding' is very valuable in order to allow other subordinate forces to fight a war. The biggest effect of the button to start a war is like a nuclear bomb mounted on a launch pad, which can achieve great benefits through deterrence.

The Lie Locust family is enough to do it on its own, making it very difficult for the subordinate forces one by one.

For example, Zhou You has now resolutely condemned this behavior of the Burning Locust family.

Because it is impossible to continue, even if it will cause a great impact on the industrial chain of Xia Hongdao, the human resource potential in the market in the land bridge area is far greater than the trade volume provided by the Lie Locust family.

Moreover, the north has just made a strategic alliance with the Emperor's faction on the Genghe, and even the armored forces have been passed. If you don't make your statement clear...... Thinking about it from another perspective, Genghe must have lingering feelings about this kind of behavior.

Now that the remnants of the military are here, they obviously can't take revenge on the Burning Locust family, but if they 'indignantly' plunder the shipping lanes and trade points of the burning ships, the damage caused will be great.

Nominally, you can't give your mouth to the enemy, and at the same time, you have to make sure that others don't take advantage of this matter!

Twelve hours after the fall of the Emperor. At the military meeting of Xishui Port and Ranlun, Zeyou proposed to enter a state of readiness and use a wave of large-scale battles within two months to carry out a major blow to the second prince, who is now breathing for a wave, to ensure military deterrence.

The telegram has been sent to the side of Xia Hong Island, and a large amount of military supplies are being transported towards Xishui Port.

On the wharf, the crane lifts down a group of containers, due to the shortage of metal materials, these containers are made of metal except for the skeleton and the upper and lower chassis, and the other four sides are all wooden planks.

In Xishui Harbor, the tank assembly factory is working around the clock to assemble armaments. And the air power is to take advantage of the fact that there is no interception force on the ocean and fly over quickly.

……

The degree of chaos in the "Qiang" continent region is even more abrupt and abnormal. The burning wheel that was affected is only the tip of the iceberg in this turmoil.

Because the forces of all parties are feudal organizations, their reaction speed is much slower than that of the Celestial Tour, and now all parties are still trying to smooth out the clues of this series of events.

And the "clue" is the imperial capital, Huangyi City, and several other princes, the center of these major events.

And these actors are very capable of acting, and they really absorb the attention of the world.

The six princes who occupy the royal capital, that is the real six. After confirming the death of the eldest brother, the national mourning was immediately carried out, and then dozens of people who had spread the rumors that their eldest brother was not in the right position were all killed.

These dozens of "slanderers" were tied to a rocky torture platform, gagged and shot directly on the head with two-ton torture worms, and the scene was very bad.

and spoke, it was precisely because he found out that there was a traitor around his eldest brother that he entered the giant horn to exterminate the rebel party.

Recently, he only waited for the royal brother to return, and he bowed the whip at the gate of the city to plead guilty, but he didn't know that he was cunning against the party, and he actually separated himself from the eldest brother forever.

After making this gesture, he hurriedly appointed the eldest brother's son as the new emperor and became the regent himself. It means that it is very clear that they want to accept the surrender of the generals in the south. As for whether the southern general will believe it? Only fools will believe it, but there is no shortage of weak generals who will 'believe' it in order to protect themselves.

As for the fifth prince who withdrew from the imperial city, he must be in a bad mood when he found that the big bargain in the capital was picked up by the stupid sixth child. Although there is no direct reverse. But simply setting up a royal flag in his own fiefdom seems to be a faction of its own. This behavior is the same as that of the second prince. It's just that the second prince jumped prematurely and was beaten violently, and he didn't have anything to do with this.

Well, it's not nothing, under the control of the regent, the young Jinjia Dynasty III made wishes to all officials, including the fifth prince. - But to the north of the five princes, a much larger official was sealed.

……

To the north, in the mountains of huge crystals.

Black broods sit in the mountains, and mushrooms that resemble giant banyan trees spread their black canopies, absorbing the sun's energy.

Here is the Northern Army of the Empire. The role of this legion is to expel the "remnants" of the Fenglong Empire in the north.

In fact, the Hong Leong Empire has long ceased to exist. The so-called remnants expelled by the Northern Legion over millions of square kilometers are a completely insect barbarian race.

Compared to the Golden Beetle Empire, this is a kind of "symbiotic" failed branch of the human race.

Insectification is an extremely malignant side effect, and the nobles of the golden beetle are generally pure human beings and larvae parasitized, in which at least the gonads are not contaminated.

And a hundred years ago, the remnants of the Fenglong Empire were very pitiful, forced to fuse with some broken adults in order to survive, and the side effects of insectification were almost uncontrollable, and now they have been completely embedded in the sequence of Gu worms, and perhaps only the traces of human origin can be seen in the tissues of the brain.

These groups are groups of about seven or eight, and they have a variety of appearances: some are gigantic multi-armed giants, some are flyers with membrane wings outstretched, and some are giant pythons entrenched in caves...... These barbarian races pose no threat to the rule of the Golden Beetle Empire. Only one or two leaks out once in a while are easy to cause huge economic losses to the prosperous areas of the empire. Therefore, the first emperor will deploy in the north, leaving this Gu nest force behind and expelling these barbaric Gu groups.

The general of the empire here is the eldest princess of the first emperor of the golden beetle, Jue Ying.

In the hall carved in the rocks, the woman who was in good shape, but carapaceed all over, twisted the letter presented by the messenger of the giant horned capital, and the hardened corners of her mouth remained curved upward. Her strange smile made the messenger tremble slightly, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Jue Hotaru accepted the letter with a 'smile' and accepted the canonization of the royal capital. This relieved the messenger and returned to his life safely.

Six hours later.

The female general, on the other hand, walked down the granite steps and came to an empty grotto, where layers of slime matter adhered to the walls, and this mucosal system filtered the place into a bacteria-free environment.

In the center of the hall are rows of cultivation nests, and in the slimy nests, there is a glass tank that allows you to see through the inside of the slime cultivation nests.

Upon the arrival of the fireflies, the neural chain tentacles of each nest began to coalesce into a cluster to dock their palms. It then enveloped its entire body.

'Genetic data' - to be precise, the Gu Nest transmitted the process of generating tissues and secreting hormones of genetic material to Jue Ying in the form of feelings.

She caught a large number of samples of savage groups in the north, and through cultivation, she experienced the various sensations when each species grew.

Based on this feeling, the firefly is deploying species. This is the ability that she has when she hibernates for a long time after birth, the ability to directly modify the species.

Now, in the tentacle cocoon, she is frowning, trying to take on something.
