Chapter 667 The Way of Nature
Blue Island no longer has the combat power to compete head-on with the vortex beast.
According to the plan, the Bo Shuwan coalition attacked from the southernmost tip of the main island.
Long Bai charged at the forefront, leading a million-strong army to attack the island first, charging left and right, knocking down the island's defenses and destroying the garrisoned ant nests.
The coalition's 5 million advance troops successfully landed on the island one after another and quickly gathered. Under the leadership of Long Bai, they pushed forward and acted rampantly.
rear,
An army of five million led by the Sanshou Ant King and the Blood Vine Queen followed closely behind.
The Ishikari blue ants have managed the island for three thousand years, digging a large network of underground water veins and countless hidden entrances and exits.
They did not fight head-on, but relied on underground fortifications and familiarity with the geographical environment to engage in guerrilla warfare with the coalition forces.
Long Bai did not dare to advance rashly. After occupying enough land on the island to station troops, he immediately organized Zerg warriors and ant troops who were good at earth-based abilities to find and block the underground water veins.
Take a day off,
An army of 10 million led by Queen Zesheng and Queen Qingdai Ant landed on the island. Most of these ant and bee armies came from the southern tropics and were not well adapted to fighting in ice and snow environments. They organized themselves, transformed the terrain, and built habitat nests and defenses.
Long Bai commanded all the armies, spread out the front line, and continued to advance north. The whirlpool beasts charged at the front, pulling out the Ishikari blue ant nests one by one...
noon.
An important garrison nest had just been captured, and the coalition forces were cleaning up the mess. The Blue Butterfly King, who was responsible for battlefield reconnaissance and communication work from the rear, rushed over.
"Chief Longbai! There is news from Longmai Mountain. The five leaders ask you to go back to discuss matters!"
"oh--"
Long Bai guessed what was going on and ordered the army to rest on the spot. The frost vortex beast changed its form, and the white mist rose and turned into a giant ant that flapped its wings and took off into the sky.
The King Blue Butterfly follows closely behind.
Among the mountains, five leaders gathered in the temporary command main nest.
The Dark Map Dragon King, who is responsible for information transmission and logistics transportation on Hacai Island, also rushed over.
As soon as Long Bai and Lan Ying Butterfly King entered the main hall, Dark Maple Dragon King activated his night power and propped up a shield that blocked out the detection of mental power.
The Sanjiao Ant King excitedly and helplessly said: "The Baiyun Queen Bee of Longmai Mountain rushed to Yucai Island in person to bring important news. King Mo Lanmang succeeded in ambush and killed the Kuyu Ant King. Chief Longbai, never expected that, You still left such a claw and didn’t reveal any information to us.”
Long Bai said calmly: "I just arranged for King Mo Lan to try his luck. There is no guarantee of success. There is no need to speak out about things that are not sure."
The Blood Vine Queen Bee was impatient and asked: "Chief Longbai, I heard that according to your request, Longmai Mountain blocked the news and blocked the passage between the two realms?"
"Yes--"
Long Bai said briefly: "Two years from now will be the year of the expedition, and we are not sure that we will win the Blue Island within two years. So, don't push too hard, be careful that the Ishikari blue ants run away with the wild god-given seeds on the island."
--really!
The Lan Ying Butterfly King and the five leaders all moved their tentacles in agreement and understood.
Everyone fought so hard against Blue Island, firstly for the safety of the mainland, and secondly, because they also considered the various benefits of capturing Blue Island.
The first big benefit is of course the control of the Ocean God's Scepter, and the second is the huge number of wild god-given seeds that the Ishikari Blue Ant clan has accumulated over the past three thousand years.
King Anma and Dragonfly asked: "Chief Longbai, what's your plan?"
Long Bai: "It was announced to the outside world that the Koyu Ant King was invincible. The ambush failed, Zhibai Continent suffered heavy losses, Feng Yuan Mountain was penetrated, and the Rainbow Scarab tribe was almost wiped out. The army that attacked the island retreated in an orderly manner, and five hundred people were urgently organized. Reinforce Longmai Mountain with tens of thousands of troops, strengthen the defenses of the passage between the two realms, and beware of being killed by the King of Fish Ants!"
"Of course, we can't give Blue Island time to breathe. It's just a two-year delay. After two years, when the expedition year ends, we will reorganize our forces to attack Blue Island and besiege Bafangzhou."
Dark Maple Dragon King: "It makes sense!"
King Sanshou Ant: "Agree!"
Queen Zesheng slowly shook her tentacles and said: "The Ishikari blue ants have been frightened to death. I am afraid that withdrawing troops will not calm their emotions."
The Blood Vine Queen Bee immediately retorted: "If the Ishikari Blue Ants could be scared off so easily, there would be no need to fight the war for three thousand years."
The Indigo Ant King said leisurely: "If we continue to attack, there is a high probability that the Ishikari Blue Ants will run away with their wealth. On the contrary, if we withdraw now and spread false news to show weakness, with their fierce nature, they will probably stay. Slow down. In two years, we can reorganize our logistics, gather more troops, and capture Blue Island in one fell swoop in two years."
——That's right!
——The Indigo Ant King has a clear mind.
All the insects clicked their tentacles in agreement.
The Dark Maple Dragon King hesitated and said: "The leader of Longbai, Baiyun Bee Queen, also brought news. I heard from King Molanji that the King of Fish Ants obtained the magical fruit, including the Touch of Silver Light, the Triple Original At least six abilities, including power and night curtain. Especially the 'night curtain' ability, which directly led to the failure of the first round of raid and beheading by King Melan. If the ant king hadn't been stupid and ran into the swamp, he would have been killed by Mo Lan. King Mantis is trapped, and it is hard to say whether we will win or lose this battle."
The upright and fiery Blood Vine Queen Bee also became cautious and analyzed: "How could the divine three-color original fruit and the divine silver leaf fruit flow into Blue Island? Zhibai and Wanglan Continent, if it weren't for the emergence of many traitors, would they have Isn't there a traitor who has mastered a large number of divine fruits? The second possibility is more likely, and the one who is more qualified is... the Flame Spider Traveling Merchant?"
"..."
No insect after insect.
Don't say such nonsense...
There was a long silence.
Blue Butterfly King: "Big Chief, I think there is no need to discuss this matter. Let's skip it. In two months, the Edelweiss Spider King will come over and let's ask for his opinion."
Long Bai moved his tentacles in recognition.
The Dark Maple Dragon King suggested: "This news can also be released. It is said that because the Fish Ant King ate a large number of divine fruits, gained many powerful abilities, and his strength skyrocketed beyond prediction, which led to the failure of the ambush."
Blood Vine Queen Bee agreed: "That's right! Put it this way, it's very credible."
The King of Mountain Pepper Ants said: "We have to make a good appearance and seal the passage between the two realms. Chief Longbai, why don't you personally lead the army to station at Longmai Mountain."
Long Bai shook his tentacles and said: "I can lead the army there, show my face, and even enter the Zhibai Continent to show off, but I am not permanently stationed in Longmai Mountain. I have other things to be busy with."
Long Bai looked at the Blood Vine Queen Bee and said, "I plan to reclaim the Thousand Reef Islands. I haven't asked yet whether the Green Stem Queen Bee of the Mori Wasp Kingdom has moved to the Boshu Bay United Kingdom to settle down?"
The Blood Vine Queen Bee said: "I heard that in the Forest Wasp Kingdom, a little queen bee named 'Green Castanopsis' has been promoted to the rank of king. One kingdom cannot accommodate two kings. The Green Stem Queen Bee of the Forest Wasp Kingdom has moved away a long time ago. This time During the war, he also sent two assistant kings to fight."
"good--"
Long Bai: "Then I'll go directly and take over!"
The Queen Bee of the Blood Vine said in confusion: "Chief Longbai, it is understandable that you look down upon the land of the United Kingdom of Boshuwan. But do you also look down upon the land of the Blue Island under your feet? If you take down the Blue Island, you will share 20,000 , 30,000 square kilometers of fertile land, this is not too much, right? What use are the scattered pieces of land in the Thousand Reef Islands?"
Long Bai: "I want the land on Blue Island, and I can't give up the land on Thousand Reef Islands."
Long Bai briefly explained: "We need food. In the entire Wanglan Continent's waters, the fishing and hunting resources near the Thousands of Reef Islands are the most abundant."
——Are there few fish in the waters near Hongdao and Blue Island?
——Do you need so much food?
The insects still don't understand.
We are all smart people and don’t dwell on this issue.
Lan Ying Butterfly King said jokingly: "Long Bai Ant King, kill the Koo Fish Ant King, and the alliance owes you another 1 billion bounty. I'm afraid that if you conquer Blue Island in the future, the island's raw stone veins will not be enough to clear the account."
Queen Bee Zesheng said seriously: "It just so happens that during the two years of the truce, we took turns traveling around the mainland to recruit troops to participate in the war, and at the same time, we were able to donate a large amount of resources."
The Dark Maple Dragon King suggested: "The news of the execution of the King of Fish Ants must have spread in the Zhibai Continent by now. If the leader of Longbai or King Mo Lanyu goes to collect donations in person, there will definitely be a rich harvest."
"Not necessarily?"
The Indigo Ant King shook his tentacles in denial and asked: "A hundred years ago, before the King of Fish Ants caused trouble, what was the situation of donations from Zhibai Continent? Very few. In the past hundred years, Zhibai Continent has donated a lot, and that is because of the threat of the King of Fish Ants. Now Now that the King of Fish Ants is dead and the threat is gone, I’m afraid they won’t be so active.”
Zesheng Queen Bee retorted: "Blue Island has not been destroyed yet. The next activation time of the Ocean God's Scepter will be sixteen years later. According to the rules, it will be another beast."
"..."
All the insects fell into deep thought.
The crisis is only temporarily lifted. If Bafangzhou cannot be conquered in the next sixteen years...
The topic jumps automatically,
The Sanshou Ant King said solemnly: "It is estimated that there are more than 15 remaining sea beasts on Blue Island. Fighting with the scepter of the God of the Ocean on their backs, each of them has the strength of a thousand-meter beast. We, the Boshuwan Alliance, can compete with them. The only ones competing are Chief Long Bai and King Melanji."
Blood Vine Queen Bee: "Haven't the tactics been planned a long time ago? First, besiege them for ten years and starve their soldier ants to death, then launch over 50 million troops at once, attack in an orderly manner, continue to consume them, and consume them to death."
Qingdai Ant King: "I'm afraid, fifty million is not enough..."
…
To destroy Blue Island, we still face many problems such as troop strength, food, logistics and transportation.
It boils down to a core problem of not enough food.
Long Bai remained silent.
After a heated discussion, the insects suddenly came to their senses, and the temporary leader remained silent.
The Sanjiao Ant King asked: "Chief Longbai, do you think 50 million troops are enough to attack Bafangzhou?"
"Not enough! Doubling it may not be enough."
Long Bai said calmly: "I will find a way to solve the problem of troops and food."
Long Bai paused, and then said: "My talent is poor, and in just 16 years, it is difficult for me to improve my strength. King Molanyu has high elemental talent, evolves and grows quickly, and his combat power increases rapidly. Molanyu The king can also evolve to the 7th age, making a qualitative leap in strength."
"Looking back, the five leaders will help to say hello to all the insects. The territory has harvested top-level god-given seeds. You can help keep some. In the future, I will also repay with top-level god-given seeds, plus an additional share of the god-grade fruit, as well as the necessary purchase requirements. The rough stone is 30 million."
"Alternatively, after conquering Bafangzhou, you can repay it with a king-level top-level wild god-given seed. The additional conditions remain unchanged."
"this……"
"The evolution level of King Melanji is less than 7 years old?"
"OK--"
"Can--"
"Little things——"
After a brief moment of shock, confusion, and silence, the five leaders reluctantly agreed.
Long Bai clicked his antennae, immersed himself in thought, raised his head, pondered, and asked:
"Sansho, Blood Vine, Zesheng, Indigo, Dark Maple, including the Blue Butterfly King, have you ever considered where the Hashima Bay Alliance will go after capturing Happozhou and successfully destroying the Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom?"
The five leaders all focused their tentacles.
Lan Ying Butterfly King: "There is another key question, what to do with the scepter of the God of the Ocean."
Long Bai: "Have you considered it? How to deal with it?"
Lan Ying Butterfly King considered it carefully and said after a sentence:
"Try to transport it back to Wanglan Continent!"
"The scepter of the Ocean God is most powerful when placed in the ocean."
"We will never allow another 'Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom' to appear again."
"There happens to be a semi-arid rocky wasteland in the United Kingdom of Boshuwan. The scepter of the God of the Ocean is transferred to an arid wasteland rich in the original force. It prevents insects from using the scepter's divine power to cause trouble, and it also makes it easier for everyone to understand the water system through the scepter. ability."
Lan Ying Butterfly King spoke frankly, saying: "In the past two hundred years of war, the number of butterfly kings in our Holy Butterfly Tribe has never been less than 30, and the highest number has reached 60. We have also provided sacred fruits, including Massive resources are used to finance the war. We, the Holy Butterfly tribe, are here for the scepter of the God of the Ocean, and we want the control and use rights of the scepter."
The five leaders moved their tentacles frequently.
This was a condition negotiated as early as the time of Yiguo Queen Bee.
Blood Vine Queen Bee: "Those other large tribes in Zhibai Continent that provide both resources and warriors do not come to help for no reason. After this is completed, the United Kingdom of Boshuwan will add two more leader positions. From the current five The number of leaders has been increased to seven. One position is fixed as the 'White Crystal Butterfly King' of the Holy Butterfly Tribe, and the other position is selected from the other five major tribes."
"In addition, on Wanglan Continent, the quota of the five leaders of the United Kingdom of Boshuwan remains unchanged, and the rules remain unchanged. The leaders of the older generation will nominate them, and the insects will discuss and recommend them."
Queen Bee Zesheng added: "The number of deputy leaders has increased from 17 to 27, and 10 new places have been added to Zhibai Continent."
The Sanjiao Ant King said: "Longbai Ant King, you are the first and last leader of the United Kingdom of Boshuwan. After that, seven leaders and twenty-seven deputy leaders jointly manage the Scepter of the God of the Ocean."
"More reasonable..."
Long Bai pondered and said: "I don't know if you feel the same way. From my understanding of natural god civilization, there are two core values: first, balance and diversity; second, prosperity and development."
"The war has been going on for more than three thousand years, especially in the past one or two hundred years. Due to the emergence of the 'Beast', the entire southern hemisphere has been disturbed. Many kingdoms and tribes have had to spend more time and strength preparing for the war. , in order to improve combat power, thereby delaying development. This is contrary to the purpose of the natural god's civilization, and is not what normal insects want."
"Since our generation has the ability to end war and confrontation, let's end it completely. Try our best to avoid the recurrence of such turmoil sweeping the continent."
Long Bai paused and then said:
"My suggestion is to appropriately liberalize the scope of use of the Ocean God's Scepter. Especially on the Zhibai Continent, open the use rights to more tribes and try to disperse and balance the sudden increase in strength brought by the Ocean God's Scepter."
"Of course, this permission cannot be given away for free. Isn't there a shortage of money in the war? Whoever wants it can buy it with God-given force food and divine fruits. The price is clearly marked, a permanent quota, 300 million? 500 million? God-given Force food is priced normally, and divine fruits can be calculated at two or three times the caravan purchase price."
"For the sake of fairness, let's go back two hundred years. In the past two hundred years, which kingdoms or tribes donated resources to help the war? How much was donated? Do statistics and ask if it is necessary to purchase quotas for the descendants of the same clan. If so, the more will be refunded and the less will be supplemented. If No, we will return the previous donation with interest."
"According to this algorithm, if fifty or one hundred places are released, how many resources can be recovered? Twenty billion? Thirty billion?"
"Isn't there a shortage of money for the war? By doing this, we don't have to go around the world to collect donations. On the contrary, I think if the news gets out, there will be many insects begging us and fawning over us."
"Also, the wild god-given seeds of the Ishikari Blue Ant tribe, the original stone veins and fertile land of Blue Island, these are all the wealth income from victory in the war."
"The income should be divided among everyone. Eat what you can eat and take away what you can take away. What kind of insects can be divided? Of course, those who have directly participated in the war and have been actively participating in the war are the bee tribe, the ant tribe kingdom, and the Zerg warriors. .”
"Five leaders, have you all participated in the war for more than three hundred years? At the lord level, you began to participate in the war and logistics transportation. After the king level, you entered the frontline battlefield. It is no exaggeration to say that you have spent most of your life fighting against Blue Island. confrontation."
"All the bugs in the United Kingdom of Boshuwan, as well as many allies, permanent participants in the war, and allies from Zhibai Continent like the Holy Butterfly Tribe. Everyone fought bloody battles, made contributions, made sacrifices, and won the war, they all deserve Enjoy the fruits of victory.”
"A rough calculation shows that the corresponding number of ant queens, bee queens, and insect kings is over a thousand, right? Therefore, the fruits of victory must be large enough, otherwise, they will be unevenly distributed."
Long Bai's meaning is very clear. Everyone should realize all the benefits of destroying Blue Island and divide them up together, so as not to leave too much to the descendants of the United Kingdom of Bo Shuwan.
Balance the power of the mainland to prevent the Boshuwan United Kingdom from becoming too strong and one day evolving into the next 'Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom', which will once again set off a tragic war sweeping the mainland.
While balancing the power, everyone can receive very generous rewards.
It sounds like a perfect solution to all problems.
"..."
A long silence.
at last,
The Sanjiao Ant King said: "Chief Longbai is right. The war has been going on for three thousand years. Yucai Island is fifty meters above the sea level, and forty meters of it are piled up by the corpses of our Zerg. Such a disaster can happen to us. It is a blessing that this generation has ended. Tracing back to the root, all this was caused by the scepter of the God of the Ocean. Since it is going to end, let it end completely."
Zesheng Queen Bee raised her claws and said: "Second the proposal! We cannot let our descendants make the same mistake as Blue Island."
The Dark Maple Dragon King touched his tentacles and said: "I agree with the decision of Chief Longbai."
The blood vine queen bee and the indigo ant king moved their tentacles heavily.
Seeing this, Long Bai said: "Okay, that's the decision. This matter needs to be coordinated by the Flame Spider Traveler. When the Snow Spider King comes, we will discuss the details together."
"Queen Zesheng Bee, King Dark Maple Dragonfly, you are in charge of the alliance's finances, right? Tell me the details of your nearly two hundred years of fundraising in a moment."
Long Bai added: "Don't spread the news to Wanglan Continent yet. As for Zhibai Continent, I'll go there and give it a try first. I'll test it out with a few quotas and observe the reactions of various races."
"Based on the reactions of each race, decide whether to sell it for 300 million, 500 million, or one billion? There is no rush to determine the final price. We need to find out how many Zerg warriors can comprehend each time the Scepter of the God of the Sea is opened. "
"A deposit can be collected appropriately as operating funds for the next final battle." (End of Chapter)
