Chapter 555: Enthusiastic Audience
A colorful butterfly staggered in, four or five hundred meters away, hovering to look at the Edelweiss Spider King.
"The richest man in Edelweiss?"
"Edelweiss Spider."
"Aren't you spying on me?"
"It's me. But it's not peeping, it's watching the battle and accidentally seeing you. The Flame Spider Kingdom does not participate in the war, but it does not mean that it is indifferent, and many old Spider Kings in Shanglu are waiting for me to go back and report the situation of the war. β
"New abilities? Visual reconnaissance capabilities at ultra-long ranges? β
"You ......"
"Yingmutian, Ziying, the richest man in Edelweiss."
"Edelweiss Spider King!"
Edelweiss Spider King emphasized correction, and hated that other insects called themselves the richest man, too vulgar, which was a blasphemy against his holy qualities and lofty ideals.
"Edelweiss...... Spider ......"
The Purple Butterfly King asked eagerly, "Edelweiss Spider King, is there a new god product on the mainland?" Reconnaissance capabilities at ultra-long ranges? β
The Edelweiss Spider King said indifferently, "Yes." The god Xue Lanzi was conceived to become the seed of the god of life, and the warrior who gave birth to it is still a lord, with a long flower and fruit cycle and a very low yield. The first batch of output is gone, and the next batch is 30 years later. It's too late for this war with Blue Island, and if there is another big war, it should come in handy. β
Purple Butterfly King: "......"
Purple Butterfly King: "What about the bestowed abilities?" Can you give us an introduction? β
Edelweiss Spider: "Nothing, as you said, just a long-range visual ability. β
"Oh-"
The Purple Butterfly King was suspicious, and his eyes fell on the sky-high water column that held up the Edelweiss Spider King.
As we all know, the planet under our feet is round, and the sea surface has an arc, if it is just a simple visual ability, it is impossible to see more than 200 kilometers away at this height.
- Because you are flying in the sky?
The Purple Butterfly King looked back, not too convinced.
The Edelweiss Spider King has mastered the trading channels of almost all the divine fruits in the whole continent, and he has eaten an unknown number of them, and his various abilities are too many to describe.
The Purple Butterfly King didn't bother much, and said enthusiastically: "Edelweiss Spider King, you might as well go to the rear of our coalition army to watch the battle, and we will inform you of the battlefield situation at any time." β
Edelweiss: "No. The Flame Spider Merchant does not participate in the war. I don't want to cause misunderstanding and get into trouble, so I'll just take a look here. β
"Okayβ"
The Purple Butterfly King took the initiative to explain: "At present, both sides are testing and waiting, and the Ishikari Blue Ant is trying to lure us into fighting deep into the island. The combat order issued by the three-fruit queen bee is to seize the outer islands, establish a defensive base, and form a comprehensive encirclement of the blue island. The current landing battles are all feints. β
"Oh-" The Edelweiss Spider understood the intentions of the Boshu Bay coalition as soon as he heard it.
The west side of the Blue Island is immediately adjacent to the Divine Power Barrier, and there are large and small islands on the east, south, and north sides, with as many as 34 tens of hundreds of square kilometers, and 8 large islands with an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers.
The Boshuwan coalition must have wanted to capture the islands, using the islands and islands as strongholds, besieging the Ishikari blue ants and cutting off their food sources at sea.
Blue Island is only a deep-sea island of more than 300,000 square kilometers, which cannot support the surge of tens of millions of soldiers.
Behind the Boshuwan coalition is the Wanglan Continent, which covers an area of 40 million square kilometers, and then there is the long-range support of the Zhibai Continent in the rear. The logistics were well supplied, and the coalition forces had no food concerns.
The two sides have been facing each other across the sea for three or four months, and if they are besieged for another two or three months, the grain stock on Blue Island will surely run out.
From time to time, a swarm of bees with fire-based abilities was sent to the island to burn down the orchards, cutting off the island's food production......
- That's a good idea, but will the Ishikari Blue Ant sit still?
The Edelweiss Spider King didn't make an evaluation and asked, "What about the One Fruit Queen Bee?" I need to visit it when I have time. Wars are wars, and we can't slack off in the production of our territory. β
Purple Butterfly King: "Forehead ......"
- Dead profiteers!
The Purple Butterfly King scolded secretly and politely explained: "The Boshuwan Coalition Army is divided into five major group armies. The first fruit queen bee, the Yamashina ant king, and the Penang green butterfly king, respectively commanded the first, second, and third armies and launched an attack from the east. At this time, the queen bee was commanding the coalition forces to capture Haisong Island. β
Edelweiss Spider: "...... Got it. β
Edelweiss Spider King: "Then I'll go to Muxi Peak to visit it in early summer." β
Purple Butterfly King: "Do you need me to report the Queen Bee?" β
Edelweiss Spider King: If you run into it, you can let it know, but there's no need to tell you. β
Butterfly King: "Okay. β
Purple Butterfly King: "The war is still going on, then I'll go back to monitor the battlefield first......"
The Purple Butterfly King flickered away.
After a while,
The dragon cypress controls the throne and rises from the sea, slowly approaching.
"Edelweiss Spider King, do you hear any useful news?" Mo Lan asked.
Edelweiss Spider: "Noβ"
The Edelweiss Spider King said briefly: "The general battle plan of the Boshu Bay coalition is to first capture the islands around Blue Island, form a siege, and cut off the sea hunting channel of Blue Island. β
Edelweiss commented: "There are no new tactics. As far as I know, in previous coalition campaigns against Blue Island, the same tactic has been used no less than three times, all of which have ended in failure. β
Edelweiss Spider: "This time, I don't know what new tricks they have come up with, but I'm not optimistic." β
Mo Lan's mind changed sharply, and he said worriedly: "This is not a wise move. If the Blue Island Ishikari Blue Ants unite and unleash the tsunami ability, wouldn't these islands be flooded in an instant? Those ant tribes who can't water and can't fly, aren't they gone? β
Edelweiss Spider King: "Water comes to the earth." After occupying the island, activate the earth ability as soon as possible to build fortifications. This time, it should be a new earth-based ability, or a new defensive design. Let's see. β
The Edelweiss Spider King looked at Mo Lan and said, "Lord Mo Lan, you don't seem to be neutral?" You're looking forward to a victory for the Boshu Bay coalition. β
Mo Lan said honestly: "Of course. The Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom occupies the scepter of the god of the sea, but it can't communicate, can't communicate. On the contrary, if the Wave Tree Bay side wins, and the Holy Butterfly Tribe takes its place, perhaps, for a certain price, they will be able to gain access to the Scepter of the God of the Sea. β
Mo Lan: "Edelweiss Spider King, you have also awakened the water talent......"
Edelweiss Spider: "If you can, then of course it's best ......"
Mo Lan looked at the dragon cypress.
Long Bai: "May there be peace in the world." β
Mo Lan: "......"
Edelweiss Spider: "......"
Mo Lan had a whim and asked, "Long Bai, Edelweiss Spider King, you say, could it be that the Dominion Throne and the Scepter of the Sea God come from the same civilization?" β
- This question is too stupid~
- Can't you see that the Ishikari blue ants are being beaten by a swarm?
ββIt's too late to clear up the relationship, and you still ask this kind of question~
Long Bai shook his tentacles, "It's different. The big difference is very obvious, not a system of power. β
Edelweiss Spider King: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, don't be nervous, Xianglan Mountain is far away in the Cloud Trace Continent, and no insect will run so far to attack you." β
The Edelweiss Spider King changed into a solemn and solemn tone, and said: "Regarding this issue, I happen to know a little bit, according to legend, the first ant king of the Ishikari Blue Ant Clan to awaken the ability of the 'Sea Soul' obtained a piece of information when he came into contact with the scepter of the god of the sea. The thing came from a barbarian civilization called 'Otters', which was destroyed by a civilization called 'Terrans', who used starships to transport loot to a certain planet, and were intercepted by the true gods of nature and snatched up on the way. β
Mo Lan: "Uh......"
Cypress: "I'm sure it's not from a civilization. β
Edelweiss Spider: "Then your throne is from ......"
Long Bai: "Creator civilization." It is a peace-loving civilization that does not like to fight, and it has also been destroyed by human civilization. β
Edelweiss Spider: "Oh-"
The Edelweiss Spider King was silent for a few seconds, and muttered, "That's quite a coincidence, they were all looted by human civilization, and then they were taken by the true gods of nature." β
Mo Lan: "It seems that every time the Force is reincarnated, a starship will fall from the sky." Does the true God of nature have an enmity with human civilization? Staring at human civilization to rob? β
Long Bai: "......"
Long Bai: "This human civilization is not weak! β
Edelweiss Spider King: "With our knowledge, we can't understand it, and we can't guess it......"
β¦β¦
After a few sentences,
The Throne of Dominion rises vertically.
Black Birch adjusts, locks on the distant sea, activates the Sunburn ability, and continues to observe the battlefield.
Sure enough,
On the island captured by the Boshuwan coalition army, tens of thousands of termite soldiers and ants landed on the island on iceboats, and under the command of King Zuo, they quickly occupied the high ground, moved mountains and stones, and built a spire fortress.
There is not much intrigue to speak of in a war of this scale, and it is a great skill to be able to command and coordinate teams from hundreds or thousands of different kingdoms to make them play the characteristic role of their own race in an orderly manner.
The black birch paused, constantly adjusting its perspective to observe the warring sides.
At present,
On the side of the Boshuwan coalition forces, all ethnic groups cooperated in an orderly manner, and there was no sign of disorder.
The Blue Island Ishikari Blue Ant side seemed to be retreating, and on closer inspection, the intention to lure was too obvious, and they tried to draw the coalition forces attacking the island into the depths of the main island.
But the Boshuwan coalition side was not fooled at all......
β¦β¦
In the western sky, the remnant sun is like blood.
The battle became more and more fierce, but there was no real progress in sight, and the soldiers killed and injured were all soldier ants and professional bees, which was just a number for the queen bee.
The Throne of Dominion Falls.
"What's new?"
Edelweiss asked.
"Nope."
Long Bai replied: "Depending on the situation, there will be no major action in two or three days. β
Black Birch took the initiative to say: "I made a simple observation and statistics, about 80,000 to 100,000 Ishikari blue ants are fighting on the coastline of about 50 kilometers. β
Black Birch: "Let's do the math again, Blue Island is a surge of 10 million soldier ants, what is the original number of soldier ants on the island?" At least 10 million, right? The Blue Island military force should have exceeded 20 million. Spread over a thousand kilometers of coastline, the average should be 20,000 per kilometer, and 50 kilometers of coastline should have one million troops. Today, only one-tenth of them are dispatched, and they are old, disabled, or congenitally weak. β
Black Birch concluded: "The war has just begun. β
"A king who has inherited the wisdom of the ant king."
The Edelweiss Spider King praised it, controlled the water column to descend slowly, and said: "Those who are fighting are not in a hurry, let's not be in a hurry, eat and drink enough, rest well, and watch slowly." β
"Yesβ"
"Okayβ"
Long Bai and Mo Lan agreed.
Return to the surface.
Activate the Freeze ability to form ice floes with a radius of 100 meters.
Black Birch goes fishing in the sea, everyone sits together, eats, talks, and rests late at night.
The next morning,
The Throne of Dominion rises early......
Black Birch activates the sunburn ability to observe, report.
"Great King, Second Great King, all the four islands within our observation range have been captured by the Boshuwan Alliance, and a large number of termites and ants are working together to build a spire fortress."
Long Bai asked, "Is there anything special about these forts?" β
Black Birch: "It's just an ordinary pile of soil and rocks, and then solidified with the ability of the soil system, and when you look at it, you can't see anything special." β
Long Bai: "What about the coastline?" β
Black Birch: "I'll look at ...... again"
The black birch rested for a while, and then activated the sunburn ability to see.
"The king, the second king, there seems to be a truce on the coastline. The coalition forces on the side of Boshu Bay occupied the coastal heights. There is no trace of the Ishikari blue ants. β
Black Birch: "The king, the second king, this is not normal......"
Long Bai: "Maybe there's a big war brewing. Don't guess! Both sides are the battle-hardened old queen bee and the old ant queen in overall command. And what have we been through? We can't guess it. We are the audience, just watch with peace of mind, watch more, learn more. β
Black Birch: "Understood, King! β
Merlan stomped off the throne and swooped down, reporting to the Edelweiss Spider King.
continuous observation,
There was no big movement for the whole day.
The Edelweiss Spider King was too lazy to support the water column to climb high and look into the distance, so he simply waited on the surface of the sea for Mo Lan to come down and report.
Keep watching,
For four consecutive days, the islands around the Blue Island, the fortifications continued to be built, and there were intermittent iceboats, taking the kingdom as a unit, carrying ant soldiers and ants to the island. Immediately after landing on the island, he went into the spire fortress and disappeared.
On the Blue Island, occasionally, on the side of Boshu Bay, a team is sent to explore the depths of the island; From time to time, a group of blue soldiers appeared in the mountains and forests to attack the Boshuwan team.
Skirmishes continued, but there was no movement of large forces.
Without warning,
Late at night on the fifth day, Edelweiss Spider King and Mo Lan, who were resting on the ice floe, woke up at the same time.
Mo Lan jumped up, and shouted with concussive spiritual power:
"Dragon cypress! Black Birch! Get up! Here we go! β
The dragon cypress and the black birch wake up.
Mo Lan raised his claws and pointed to the south, and said in shock: "What a terrifying Force fluctuation! β
How does a lord-level little praying mantis sense Force fluctuations? The Edelweiss Spider King was surprised, but he didn't think much about it, his eyes were fixed on the south, his tone was heavy, and he said:
"In the end, it was the Ishikari Blue Ants who couldn't hold back and took the lead in attacking."
Without waiting for Long Bai and Mo Lan to ask,
Edelweiss added, "I guess this time it's just a temptation. β
ββ¦β¦β
Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Black Birch were speechless, and at the same time they didn't understand too much.
What to try? To fight or not?
The next moment,
The roar of the crashing waves rolled in.
It was followed by a monstrous wave forty or fifty meters high.
The Edelweiss Spider King activated his ability, and the ice floes under the feet of the insects turned into a snow-white color, and the cold air of the forest expanded in all directions, like a swimming snake flying, and the surrounding sea water froze, turning into a white ice web with a radius of more than 1,000 meters.
Click~click~click~
Ice breaking,
The surging waves lifted the ice floe on which everyone was standing dozens of meters high and fell down heavily.
Edelweiss continues to output the Force, forming a cobweb-like ice around the ice floes, resisting the impact of the waves and reducing bumps.
Wave after wave.
In the vast sea, snow-white ice floes rise and fall with the huge waves.
The Blue Isle Night Raid unleashed a tsunami capability, and it must have been used to impact the islands occupied by Boshu Bay.
More than 200 kilometers away, the waves reached a height of forty or fifty meters, and how fierce was the tsunami that hit the island?
Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Black Birch were shocked inexplicably.
The word 'terrifying' is no longer enough to describe the strength of the Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom.
"Be careful!"
The Edelweiss Spider King suddenly warned, the original energy exploded, and the ice floe carrying everyone suddenly shattered, leaving only two pointed boats, and under the control of the majestic water system, they rode the wind and waves, and galloped among the waves.
At the same time, Mo Lan also noticed the anomaly, and gave a low warning: "Underwater! There's an ant clan chasing us! β
Long Bai subconsciously wanted to activate his soul-fixing ability to scan the deep sea, and pressed it in time, but his soul-fixing ability must not be exposed.
"Ishikari blue ants?"
Long Bai asked.
"Ishikari Blue Ant."
The Edelweiss Spider King replied, adding, "The leader of the team is a Poseidon Worm Warrior. It's activating the 'Sea Soul' ability to sense and lock our position. β
Long Bai was puzzled, "How did they find here?" It's more than 200 kilometers away. β
Edelweiss: "I don't understand. β
Edelweiss Spider: "This is the battlefield. Without conflicting with them, let's retreat. β
