Chapter 644 Retreating
Reinforcements led by the Dark Maple Dragon King arrived, and the Fourth and Fifth Group Armies led by the four leaders of Sanshou, Xueteng, Zesheng, and Qingdai advanced from the east and west to orderly clear out the remaining Ishikari Blue Ants on the island.
It was an unprecedentedly dangerous battle that exceeded all expectations.
The Blue Island army came with ferocious force, but ended abruptly with the death of a 700-meter-long beast.
Zerg warriors who are good at flying communicate back and forth and count the battle casualties of each legion.
The first, second, and third group armies retreated from the middle and inner defense lines, redistributed defense tasks, and repaired and prepared for war.
There is another army of termites responsible for logistical work cleaning the battlefield.
They cut off the heads of the corpses of Ishikari blue ants and piled them into twenty-two mountains on the beach on the east side of the island.
The stone pillars are interspersed, hanging three heads of the Ant King, five heads of the Poseidon Big Insect warriors, and fourteen heads of the Zuo King.
Hang your head in protest.
Ants, bees, and termites all have a warlike and cruel side in their nature.
Ishikari blue ants will feed on other insects.
There were six more shield-spotted warriors whose carapace was covered with bright sea-blue rings, flying busily, constantly rising and falling on the bodies of the coalition forces.
They are poisoning.
The venom of the Scutellaria warriors is colorless, odorless, and deadly...
…
The vortex beast transformed into a dark night cloud, suspended high in the sky.
Mo Lan regrouped a small Mo Lan, and she tried her best to restore her original strength, preparing for the next war that was uncertain whether it would break out.
Dragon cypress, emerald cypress, and silver cypress take turns activating the sunburn ability, overlooking the sea area to the east of the island.
The army of Ishikari blue ants, headed by the thousand-meter-long beast, gathered on the island and remained motionless, not knowing what they were planning.
Long Bai was also thinking and reviewing the previous battles.
Practicing hard a hundred thousand times and deducing a million times are not as good as competing once in actual combat.
In the actual battle with the 700-meter beast, Long Bai discovered a lot of problems:
First, the beast is directly immune to the hallucinogenic effects of the Sky Frost Remnant and the Bite Remnant.
After thinking for a long time, I figured out the reason. The hallucinogenic ability is a kind of water energy field, and the beast itself has a super strong water energy field. The two energy fields confront each other, and the sky frost residual realm and the chewing residual realm are strongly suppressed. Doesn't play any role.
These two abilities, which Long Bai had high hopes for, had very unsatisfactory actual results in the battle against the beasts.
On the contrary, the blasting jet, which has always been ignored, has miraculous effects.
Second, the beast has super strong defense in the ice state, and can even resist the induction of the soul-fixing ability. In other forms, there is also a defensive body protection similar to a 'hydrological shield'. Although it is vulnerable, it can at least block it.
On the other hand, the Vortex Beast's defense is not strong in the ice state, and it does not have the ability to integrate defense, so it suffers a bit in close combat.
The vortex beast still needs to be further improved.
Incorporate hydrological shield into vortex beast devouring? It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the improvement is very limited.
Long Bai needs a strong water defense ability.
Third, close combat, devouring ability and spray, the thousand-meter vortex beast versus the seven-hundred-meter beast, it was barely a tie, and even a bit unable to spray~
This is the most powerful skill of vortex beast devouring and sea beast devouring, and it needs to be optimized and improved!
Fourth, the thousand-meter beast is integrated with some kind of flying wind ability, and it can run really fast...
Long Bai's third-instar insect king also focuses on its flying ability.
The first wind divine pattern ability is a combination of the four abilities of wind wings, wind knowledge, air flow control, and breathless wind, which builds a stronger flying ability covering the four wings.
The name is still ‘Wind Wing’.
First, condense a divine pattern alone to ensure the inheritance to the wind-type air soldiers and flying ants, and then combine it into the vortex beast to increase the speed of the cloud-type vortex beast...
"Longbai Ant King!"
A twelve-spotted dragonfly rose vertically into the sky and flashed in the clouds.
The crony around King Anma is named ‘Blue Wing’, who is responsible for delivering confidential information.
Long Bai's tentacles swung slightly, activating the night ability to shroud it in.
The Blue Wings report said: "The losses in this battle have been calculated. On the coalition side, eleven insect kings and nineteen assistant kings unfortunately died. The ant tribe and the bee tribe lost nearly six million troops. Mainly led by two beasts. The main force suddenly landed on the island from the east coast. Caught off guard, almost all the coastal defense strongholds were destroyed, causing heavy losses."
"But Lan Dao didn't get any benefits either. He lost three ant kings, five Poseidon Insect Warriors, and fourteen King Zuo. He lost more than four million troops."
Blue Wings said, excitedly saying: "Longbai Ant King, you killed an ant king who understood the ability of sea beasts to devour the sea beast. This is an unprecedented achievement in the battle between Boshu Bay and Blue Island. Yes. With the precedent of 'King of Fish and Ants', everyone has always thought that 'King of Fish' is invincible. King Longbai Ant, you have broken the inherent perception."
Long Bai calmly moved his tentacles without making any comments.
Mo Lan asked: "The Ishikari blue ant army is still refusing to retreat. Are they planning to organize a second round of attack?"
Blue Wings: "Not sure. This war is different from any other one before. Ishikari Blue Ant has been carefully planning for countless years. The original plan was to wipe out all the coalition forces stationed on Hacai Island, including the five leaders. However, Now, their plan went bankrupt, and a King of Ants was killed in the battle, and the hidden King of Ants was also exposed. They should be angry, sad, confused now, and don't know where to go. When attacking the island, first of all, be afraid The extraordinary strength of Long Bai Ant King. But if you retreat..."
Blue Wings shook its tentacles, and there was some joy in his tone. Due to the brutality of the war, our own side also suffered heavy casualties, so it was difficult to show it. He changed the topic and said:
"The five leaders briefly discussed it. The ant king who controls the thousand-meter beast in Landao is code-named 'King Beast Ant', and the Poseidon warrior who controls the four-hundred-meter beast is code-named 'King Beast Armor'. .”
Blue Wing carefully observed Long Bai's reaction.
Long Bai still touched his tentacles, paused, and asked: "What instructions does King Dark Maple Dragon have?"
Blue Wing: "The five leaders invite Long Bai Ant King to come to discuss matters."
"good--"
Long Bai thought about it for a moment, then the giant ant flapped its wings, circled, swooped, landed in a low-lying area, shrank suddenly, transformed into a living water state, and turned into a pool of clear water.
Green cypresses and silver cypresses sink into the water and lurk.
Mo Lan stood alone on the water, activating the sunset and sunrise abilities to cover up.
Now, Long Bai is the core force that deters the beast ant king.
The insects who knew that Long Bai only brought 30,000 specialized blue soldiers on this trip were silenced. Only the five leaders knew that the number of troops under his command was less than 20,000.
Long Bai is strong on the outside but dry on the inside.
It should not be known to other insects in the coalition, let alone detected by Blue Island.
Long Bai went to the palace alone.
In the main hall where the Sanshou Ant King handles affairs, more than twenty insects form a semicircle, and in the middle is a topographic map of Hacalyx Island made with earth-type abilities.
"Longbai Ant King!"
The Dark Maple Dragon King greeted him warmly and motioned to Long Bai to stand next to the White Crystal Butterfly King.
"This is the Longbai Ant King who was personally introduced by the richest man in Xuedong. He has officially joined the United Kingdom of Boshuwan. He is currently the strongest ant king in the mainland. Many insects have seen him. He has the terrifying strength to kill 'Xiao'."
"Longbai Ant King officially joins our fifth group army, numbered 5025, and fights independently..."
Introduced by Dark Maple Dragon King.
Before, Long Bai's existence had been kept semi-secret, but now that he has shown his strength on the battlefield, there is no need to hide it anymore.
All the insects touched their tentacles to say hello.
"Longbai Ant King, let me introduce to you the leaders of the elite legions of our Fifth Army." The White Crystal Butterfly King gently raised his paw and pointed at a carapace opposite him that was covered with emerald green spikes, with scarlet eyes and a body that was over four meters long. The strong katydid warrior introduced:
"This is Zhibai Continent, Jianmu Mountain, the Red-eyed Katyta Tribe, the Sickle Leaf Insect King, the leader of the 5002 Legion..."
"Longbai Ant King~!"
"The Sickle King!"
Touch the tentacles to get to know each other.
The White Crystal Butterfly King pointed at a strange-looking beetle that was completely gray and black, with a bumpy carapace covered with large and small knobs, and granular antennae.
"Zhibai Continent, Golden Alder Mountain, Demon Iron Youjia Tribe, Liang Alder King, leader of Legion 5003..."
…
The Fifth Army, with numbers starting with 50, is an elite team that performs beheading missions.
The Holy Butterfly Tribe was the first race to participate in the war in the Zhibai Continent, so it was numbered 5001. The team was mainly composed of Holy Butterfly warriors, mixed with some miscellaneous Zerg warriors from the United Kingdom of Boshuwan.
Legion numbers 5002 and 5003 are the most powerful.
They were selected from the major tribes of the Zhibai Continent a hundred years ago when the King of Ants was born and disrupted the continent. They were jointly formed by the warlike, good at fighting, and powerful insect kings. They can be regarded as the gathering of the top combat forces of the Zhibai Continent. .
Each of the two legions has hundreds of insect kings, and there are also brave ant and bee legions to cooperate.
Their lives are left in an absolutely safe place in Zhibai Continent, with no worries.
He is stationed on Hacae Island and practices various cooperative combat tactics in a targeted manner.
In this battle, the 5002 and 5003 legions worked together to kill two ant kings, one Poseidon, and one Zuo Wang who had understood the devouring power of sea beasts in Blue Island.
These two legions are currently the strongest combat force in the Boshuwan Alliance besides Long Bai.
…
Those summoned for discussion were all the elites of each army group.
The White Crystal Butterfly King introduced each other one by one, and when the introduction was completed, all the insects arrived.
The Sanshou Ant King spoke with some fear: "Thanks to the presence of the Longbai Ant King in this battle, the dangerous situation of defeat was resolved. Thank you Longbai Ant King!"
The other bugs all agreed and were polite.
The Sansho Ant King continued: "Looking at the situation, the Ishikari Blue Ant army is unwilling to retreat! However, the first wave of the strongest offensive failed to succeed, and we are not afraid of another attack. Our five leaders discussed and formulated tactics to deal with the enemy. .”
The Sansho Ant King pointed with its tentacles and said: "The Ishikari Blue Ants only have about 6 million troops left. Due to the threat of the Longbai Ant King, if they attack the island again, they will probably concentrate all their strength and attack from the east of the island."
"Once the war begins, my suggestion is that the Dragon Cypress Ant King will hold back the Beast Ant King, and the White Crystal Butterfly King's 5001 legion; the Delphinium King's 4001 legion; and the Sharp-tailed King's 3001 legion will assist in the battle. Other insects, with The 5002 legion led by the Sickle Leaf Insect King and the 5003 legion led by the Liangzhujia King gathered all their elite forces to besiege the Liangzhujia King and try to kill him."
The Sanshou Ant King looked at Long Bai and added: "Long Bai Ant King bears the greatest responsibility and danger. It's done. One-third of the battle merit will be recorded. The other two-thirds will be divided equally between 5002 and 5003."
The Dark Maple Dragon King looked at Long Bai, and all eyes followed him.
Long Bai said briefly: "Yes!"
All eyes turned to the sickle leaf insect king.
Sickle Leaf Insect King: "Listen to the arrangements of the five leaders."
All eyes turned to King Liang Jia.
The inherited memory records that the Demonic Iron Nether Armor is one of the Zerg races with the strongest carapace defense.
Usually, insects who are good at defense tend to be stable and conservative in character.
King Liang Jia was hesitant and asked: "King Sansho Ant, can you confirm that the Ishikari Blue Ants are attacking from the east of the island? What is the specific battle plan?"
Sanshou Ant King: "I can't be 100% sure, but all the outer and inner defenses on the east coast have been destroyed, and reconstruction cannot be completed in a short time..."
…
Just as they were arranging tactics, there was a noise outside, and Blue Wings rushed in in a flash.
"Dark Maple Dragon King, leaders, Ziying Butterfly King has brought reconnaissance news, and the Ishikari blue ant army has retreated."
"???"
The breath of the insects in the hall stagnated slightly.
--Return?
——We are discussing the arrangements for the battle.
The White Crystal Butterfly King was the first to react and asked, "Should I go to sea and see for myself?"
Dark Maple Dragon King: "Be careful!"
The White Crystal Butterfly King flew away.
"..."
All the insects looked at the Sanshou Ant King.
Sanshou Ant King: "The Ishikari Blue Ants are very cunning, don't relax! I will continue to arrange tactics..."
The Sansho Ant King continued to explain the various formations and tactics that might be used if the Ishikari Blue Ant army concentrated its forces to attack the island, and analyzed the coalition's countermeasures...
Speak faster and finish.
Everyone is busy organizing their teams to prepare for the battle.
Long Bai returned to the low-lying area and activated his whirlpool beast ability. The pool of water rose into the sky, turning into giant ants in clouds and mist, soaring into the sky.
"King?"
Yinbai questioned.
"Long Bai? What's going on? I just heard that the Ishikari blue ant army retreated?"
Mo Lan asked.
"Don't worry. Prepare for war. Wait for news."
Long Bai responded briefly, subconsciously preparing to activate his sunburn ability to observe, but found that his field of vision was completely blocked by wind and snow.
The biting cold wind roared.
The dark clouds that covered Hacae Island turned into snowflakes and fell.
The red-ringed wasp army lined up in a line, covered in blazing flames, burning away the thick clouds.
Only the situation inside the island can be seen clearly. Outside, the blizzard is dancing with the strong wind, and the vision is completely blocked.
Led by the White Crystal Butterfly King, five warriors of the Holy Butterfly Tribe who were not afraid of death disappeared into the snow.
Late at night,
The white crystal butterfly king led a butterfly king out of the wind and snow.
The news soon reached Long Bai: reconnaissance confirmed that the Ishikari blue ant army had retreated.
The Purple Jacaranda, Rainbow Jacaranda, and Binyu King Butterflies will follow and observe them from a high altitude, biting them, and any news will be reported back as soon as possible.
The news spread throughout the island.
The tense and heavy atmosphere relaxed.
The next morning,
The wind weakened and the snow stopped.
The Purple Butterfly King returned alone, bringing news that the Ishikari blue ant army had returned to Blue Island.
The war is over.
An air of celebration permeates the island.
Long Bai didn't dare to waste a moment. The giant cloud ants swooped down and led Mo Lan straight to the palace of King Anma Dragonfly.
"Longbai Ant King, Melanji King..."
"King Dark Maple Dragon, Mo Lan and I are here to say goodbye. We killed a beast ant king, and we are afraid of retaliation. Return to Hong Island as soon as possible and be prepared to deal with it."
"understand……"
The Dark Maple Dragon King activated his night ability, held up the shield to isolate mental power detection, and said:
"Longbai Ant King, if Blue Island wants to take revenge on you, then it must dispatch the Beast Ant King, or else secretly assemble a group of elite warriors and set up an ambush on Hong Island..."
Long Bai shook his tentacles and said: "Every move in Bo Shuwan can hardly avoid Blue Island's intelligence channels."
Dark Maple Dragon King: "..."
Long Bai: "King Dark Maple Dragonfly, keep an eye on the large army of Blue Island. If there is any change, just send the fastest dragonfly warriors to notify me in time. As long as it is not besieged by millions of blue ants, I'm still capable of dealing with a beast ant king alone."
Dark Maple Dragon King: "Okay——"
Dark Maple Dragon King: "Longbai Ant King, there is one more thing. Our United Kingdom of Boshuwan previously placed a reward of 1 billion rough stones on the Dragon Beast Ant King, plus an additional purchase share of 6 divine fruits..."
--Yes!
--1000000000?
Mo Lan's antennae twitched, and her eyes gradually shone.
I almost forgot about this!
A long time ago, Morpho Warrior Zi once mentioned that the United Kingdom of Boshuwan raised a lot of funds as rewards for participating in the war. If you kill the Ant King, Zuo King, and Poseidon Big Bug warriors on the battlefield, you can get generous rewards.
The rough stone that is rewarded is not ordinary. It is a special letter scroll from the Spider King. You can find any flame spider caravan to exchange it for God-given force food.
Prices in the southern hemisphere are high, but if they were in the northern hemisphere, they would be worth 7 to 8 billion, right?
Get rich!
Mo Lan looked around: Where is the original stone?
Dark Maple Dragon King: "The rewards are distributed in the form of a special Spider King's letter. Because the amount is too huge, it is deposited with the richest man in Snow Velvet. The richest man in Snow White distributes it. Including the share of divine fruits. If you need anything, please book directly with Snow King Spider That’s it.”
It is the early summer of the next year in the southern hemisphere and the early winter of the current year in the northern hemisphere.
Mo Lan moved the tentacles vigorously and praised: "That's just right, very convenient!"
Long Bai also agreed: "No problem!"
Long Bai hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Dark Maple Dragon King, one billion is not a small amount. This amount is enough to reward one beast, but this time there are three, and there are two left. , reward funds..."
The Dark Maple Dragon King said happily: "There is no need to worry about this at all. In this battle, our Boshuwan Alliance won a great victory, especially by killing a beast. This unprecedented record effectively proved the strength of the alliance. If you have the strength, you can talk about anything. The news immediately spread throughout Zhibai and Wanglan Continent, and some tribes and kingdoms were willing to invest."
——This is true!
Long Bai and Mo Lan moved their tentacles together.
There are seven thousand kingdoms in Wanglan Continent.
There are ten thousand tribes in Zhibai Continent.
If a few hundred thousand or millions of raw stones are given to insects to work for them, and the crisis threatening the continent can be solved, I believe that most normal insects would be very happy.
Long Bai thought for a moment and said: "Then I will accept the 1 billion bounty with peace of mind. King Anma Dragonfly, you are busy. Mo Lan and I will leave first!"
…
The giant ants flap their wings and fly above the sea of clouds.
Cymbidium:"……"
Mo Lan said worriedly: "Ant, Hongdao is in danger! The beast ant king is coming, are you sure you can handle it?"
Long Bai: "It's hard to say... Cui Bai, you tell me."
Cui Bai was puzzled, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"
Long Bai: "Yin Bai, tell me."
Yinbai: "The king is powerful! The king will win!"
Long Bai sighed and said: "If the giant cypress or black birch were there, they would know that the beast ant king would not attack Hong Island."
"First, I used the stagnant water vortex beast and the ant king's head to successfully scare away the beast ant king. It even forgot to take away the head of its companion, which shows that it is not brave enough and has a weak will to fight. Or, you can Take it as caution.”
"Secondly, after the first round of island attack failed, they gathered their forces and were unwilling to retreat, but hesitated to move forward. This shows that their internal decision-makers were not decisive enough. Or, it can still be understood as caution."
"Thirdly, the King of Beast Ants has been aware of '潆' for about a hundred years, and it has been perfectly hidden. Even this king did not see any flaws. This shows that it is very capable of disguise and forbearance, and it can still be understood as being cautious."
Long Bai: "Think again from the perspective of a cautious and tolerant worm. They are definitely wondering in panic at this time, what kind of ant tribe are we? How can we imitate a 'sea beast' with devouring properties that can compete with '潆'?" If the ant king can do it, can his subordinate king also do it? What about the other ant kings of the same clan? Did it appear by chance, or has a certain ant clan mutated?"
"Also, the three flying sea beasts above the sea of clouds clearly saw it. It was not me who killed the 700-meter Ant King on the battlefield, but the two kings who suddenly appeared. What kind of insect is this? What ability? How could it be possible? Strong? The two kings directly destroyed the beast and accurately targeted and decapitated the ant king. This is what scares the beast and ant king the most."
Long Bai: "These are fatal questions. Before all the questions are clarified, Lan Dao dare not act rashly."
Cymbidium:"……"
Cui Bai: "..."
Yinbai: "Your Majesty is right, but, Your Majesty, what if the beast ant king brings a few sea beasts and attacks Hongdao together, how should we deal with it?"
Long Bai: "It will be a fierce battle. It won't happen in the short term. In the next few years, the two kings and I will be stationed on Hong Island and cannot leave easily. During this period, there must be all kinds of Zerg, either coming to visit, or They are peeping in secret. Those who are visiting openly are not allowed to come within 30 kilometers of the island. Those who are peeping in secret must have ulterior motives and cannot stay!" (End of this chapter)
