Astral Ant Tribe

Long Bai and Mo Lan were not stupid and had been guarding the purple linden country.

At night, they go back to the deserted plains, either for training or hunting in the mountains. At dawn, they go to the peaks near the purple linden country and find a shady place to hide and rest.

Time passes day by day.

A sudden night of cool wind and cold rain brought an end to the blazing sunshine of early autumn.

The long rain is getting colder day by day, the maple trees in the mountains are covered with yellow leaves, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and it is a bleak late autumn.

Suddenly there was a strong wind that lasted for several days, and the fallen leaves were falling in late autumn.

Time is passing by, but there is still no movement in the purple linden country.

Long Bai's tense heart relaxed day by day.

From the north, there is a constant cold wind, and it rains one after another.

There is snow on the top of the mountain.

The temperatures are getting colder and it's winter.

No northern bug would choose to evolve while sleeping in the cold winter.

Long Bai was completely relieved, but he didn't dare to be careless. As always, he waited patiently until the snow fell...

There will absolutely be no insects evolving in the cold winter covered by ice and snow. This is the law of nature and the nature of the Zerg race. The lord-level life level is not enough to completely change the nature.

The giant-headed ants are afraid of the cold, so the ant army training is suspended, and the ant colony retreats deep into the nest to spend the winter.

All the Zerg warriors who were nervously waiting for the battle also breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone still has one year to prepare.

There is a 40-day break in winter.

The mountain persimmon talks about its persimmon every day, and the dragon cypress sends it back to Yinbai Mountain.

Send Green Maple and Red Maple back to Kiwi Mountain, and send White Rice and Black Rice back to White Rice Mountain. Their territory has been completely empty in the past few months, so take this time to go back and take care of it.

Bailiu's territory is also empty, but it is not good at managing it. Long Bai and Mo Lan went over to help clean it up. They also checked other Force places along the way to make sure it was correct.

…

The king of white barberry ants and the queen of red barberry ants are accustomed to sleeping and evolving in autumn, but we do not rule out the possibility of suddenly changing to evolve in spring or summer.

After a short period of repairs and supplies, Long Bai hurriedly brought the scattered insects back to the desolate plain and assembled them for preparation.

When the weather warmed up a little, Long Bai and Mo Lan went to the hilltop near the Purple Lime Worm Kingdom to squat during the day.

Time flies, the ice and snow melt, and it’s a new year.

The ants came out of the nest and continued to practice battle formations.

The elite team headed by Gui Fan also resumed daily training.

After a long period of running-in, everyone has been able to communicate with each other, adjust the steps in unison, and change the formation at will.

…

Early summer.

White rice, black rice, green maple, red maple, juniper, giant cypress, and emerald cypress, pinching the gaps, completed a sleeping evolution one after another.

The age evolution of all key combat forces has reached expectations.

Mo Lan and Gui Fan have the highest level of evolution and are 4th-year-old mountain masters.

Baifan followed, the 3rd-year-old mountain master.

The other warriors and command ants participating in the battle are all 2-year-old mountain masters.

The expeditionary army is fully prepared and ready to go to war at any time.

…

Late summer.

The number of mountain master-level specialized soldier ants and large soldier ants reached 1,350, and the complete fourth legion was formed.

Soldier ants eat meat.

Food has always been a big issue.

Long Bai and Mo Lan kept watch every day during the day, wandered in the mountains and forests to hunt at dusk, and returned to the deserted plains late at night to train the ant army.

Every now and then, I have to spend a whole day hunting far away.

…

The red sun is high.

The autumn wind kills.

20 kilometers to the west of the purple linden kingdom, on an inconspicuous hilltop, under a big pine tree, on the ruler's throne, lying on his back with six legs in the sky, Mo Lan, who was half asleep and half awake, was suddenly startled, his wings flapped, and his body rolled sideways and fell to the ground. .

"Longbai!"

"Longbai!"

"Longbai!"

Mo Lan jumped up, jumped on the throne, flapped her wings and shouted: "Don't sleep! Wake up! The war has begun!"

Long Bai woke up with a start and was confused for half a second. The whole ant suddenly regained consciousness and concentrated on sensing.

Mo Lan retracted her wings, waited for two seconds, and said firmly: "It's the force fluctuation of sleeping evolution! I know it! It can't be wrong!"

Mo Lan's induction is never wrong!

Without much hesitation, Long Bai controlled the throne to take off, flying slowly and at low altitude close to the mountains and forests.

Prop up the hydrological shield, cover the throne of control, and cover up the fluctuations of the flying force.

No mistakes can be made at the last moment.

Carefully approach the edge of the Land of Force, stop at the throne, sneak in on foot, and arrive at the preset hilltop where the army is gathering.

At close range, Long Bai could also clearly sense the regular fluctuations of the Force in the center of the Land of Force.

And there are two strands, one falling and one rising, rising and falling alternately, gently absorbing the force of nature.

That’s right!

You can’t go wrong!

It is the king of white barberry ants and the queen of red barberry ants who are sleeping and evolving simultaneously.

Unleash the soul-fixing ability and scan the surroundings.

Make sure there are no bugs.

"Mo Lan, follow the plan! You stay, lurk and wait."

"good!"

"Don't act rashly. If you find other Zerg warriors or patrolling termite teams, be careful to avoid them. Don't show your face."

"I know!"

"Okay. Just wait here."

After repeated instructions, Long Bai returned to the throne of control, took off in a low-key manner, stayed away from the land of the Force, and flew back to the desolate plains.

…

It's half afternoon.

One after another, everyone woke up and were chatting and eating around a big iron pot. When they saw Long Bai returning in the daytime, they all jumped up.

As the ruler's throne approached, he saw that Mo Lan was not on the throne, and he immediately knew that the time had come for the war to begin.

Long Bai encouraged his spirit, "It's begun!

Dragon Cypress: "Juniper, giant cypress, and emerald cypress, arrange for the ant army to eat. After eating, they will line up and wait."

"yes!"

Juniper, giant cypress, and emerald cypress agreed sonorously and returned to their nest to organize the team.

Long Bai relaxed his mental strength and said to the insects: "Don't worry, everyone is full and on the way."

--I am full!

——Stop eating it!

——Let’s go quickly!

——My thunder and lightning is ready to go! I want to charge 10,000!

——Hongmae, please be quiet!

A mountain lord-level Zerg warrior who has used the god-given fruit pandan seeds can last ten and a half months with one meal.

Long Bai was not too polite, loaded up ghost fans, mountain persimmons, spruce trees, and rice, and set off at full speed.

The purple linden insect country merges with Molan.

Yunshan has also eaten the soul-fixing fruit and has the ability to fix souls. Together with Mo Lan, they alternately use their abilities to sense the situation within a 4-kilometer radius around them and be on alert at all times.

Long Bai then returned to the desolate plain.

The second trip was to transport mulberry, green maple, red maple, and black rice to the purple linden country, where they met up with the team and lurked to wait.

Long Bai returned along the planned marching path. Along the way, every time he passed a supply point, he would release pheromones when he landed, leaving guide marks.

Return to the barren plains.

The throne of domination carries juniper, giant cypress, emerald cypress, and white willow.

Long Bai sat on the top of the throne's backrest, waving his tentacles and giving orders.

The fourth soldier ant army went first, jogging and marching according to the guidance of pheromones.

The first, second, and third blue soldier groups set off in sequence.

The army gradually spread out, crossing mountains and ridges, winding for five or six kilometers.

Long Bai drove the throne of control to accelerate, flying at the front of the team, and gave the order: Accelerate!

The team speeds up and runs quickly.

There is a supply point every 3 kilometers. The passing soldier ants swallow a rough stone, dip it with their tentacles, and take a mouthful of ant honey.

Replenish your strength and keep running.

Under Long Bai's control, the ant army was marching quickly and orderly.

The ground journey is more than 400 kilometers, and we arrive at our destination late at night.

The ant army occupied the entire hilltop, forming arrays to repair and restore their original strength.

The dragon cypress ice plate simulates the terrain of the purple linden country, and gathers the main players such as juniper, giant cypress, emerald cypress, ghost fan, spruce, white rice, etc. to discuss together.

"Bai Liu, you fly higher, conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, and first confirm whether our map has any errors."

"OK--"

Bailiu rose straight into the sky, blinked into the darkness and disappeared.

Returned soon.

"Longbai Ant King, there are no big problems with the map, but there are many small problems with details..."

Long Bai pointed with his tentacles, charted the marching path, and said: "Bai Liu, please give me some guidance on what problems may affect our marching and fighting."

Bai Liu thought and thought, and stared at the ice plate map for a while, then raised his paw and said: "The western slope of this mountain range is steep and not suitable for marching."

"good!"

"It's a problem, but it doesn't affect it."

Cypress controls the deformation of the mountain slopes on the ice plate, and its tentacles carve slightly modified routes.

Bai Liu raised his paw and pointed at the center of the ice plate, saying: "I discovered that every Force plant is surrounded by a stone wall about 5 meters high. There is no mark on your map, Dragon Cypress Ant King..." "

Long Bai asked: "Wall?"

Bailiu: "Yes. There is a large circle around each tree. It is quite wide, and there are termites guarding the walls."

Long Bai: "Oh!"

Long Bai: "What's the approximate diameter?"

Bai Liu: "..."

Bailiu: "It's different. It depends on the size of the plant."

Long Bai: "Does that mean the plants are planted very close to each other? Or relatively close?"

Bai Liu: "Yes."

Long Bai: "High walls are not conducive to ventilation and are not conducive to the growth of plants. The White Barberry Ant King and the Red Barberry Ant Queen are indeed defensive. This should be temporarily added before they sleep and evolve. Master the soil ability and then sleep and evolve. Just dismantle it..."

Long Bai analyzed and put walls around all the plants on the ice tray, "White Willow, are there any more?"

Bai Liu: "The terrain problem is gone, but..."

Long Bai: "What about the distribution of troops?"

Bai Liu: "I saw 6 of the 10 princes, but they were too far away and I couldn't tell whether they were lords or mountain lords."

Long Bai: "What about the soldier ants and worker ants? How many soldier ants are hidden inside and outside the fence for each plant?"

Bailiu: "The situation inside the wall cannot be seen clearly because of the branches."

Bailiu: "Outside the wall...surrounding the palace, there are about 1,000 soldier ants guarding. In two large gardens planted with life plants, soldier ants can be vaguely seen patrolling. According to my estimate, there are about 1,000 soldier ants guarding each. And then there are a few more Worker ants, patrolling in groups of five, are very numerous.”

Bai Liu: "As for the nesting points, I didn't see any termite activity, probably because they sleep at night."

This is very detailed!

Long Bai praised: "Bai Liu, you have done a good job. The current situation is almost consistent with our prediction. However, we cannot take it lightly. Go out and take a closer look, focusing on the various nests."

Long Bai: "I suspect that the soldier ants scattered in various nests have been transferred back to the palace to guard the evolution of the ant king and queen."

Bai Liu: "It's very possible! I think there must be a lot of soldier ants hidden inside the palace."

Mo Lan raised her paw and said: "Shall I sneak closer and go to the branch nests No. 1 and No. 2 to take a look?"

"No! Be careful of disturbing them."

Long Bai shook his tentacles to deny, tapped the ice plate map with his forefoot, and said: "Bai Liu, conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, make two more turns, and then take a closer look. Think about other problems that may affect our march and battle."

"good!"

Bai Liu flew straight into the sky.

Long Bai greeted Ghost Fan, Spruce, Ink Orchid, Juniper, Giant Cypress, and Green Cypress, and once again explained to them the marching route and battle plan.

Almost finished speaking once.

Bai Liu returned again.

There is no big problem with the terrain map.

The distribution of soldier ants did not change.

Still haven't seen any soldier ant activity in the branch nest.

Long Bai: Let’s explore again!
