Chapter 945 - 670: Rainbow Tea
The five leaders of Wave Tree Bay didn’t stay idle either, lobbying various kingdoms on the Wanglan Continent and securing another batch of reinforcements.
Dragon Cypress is tallying all the members currently participating in the allied forces.
The total number of King-level Ant Kings and Bee Kings exceeds eight hundred.
They can be roughly divided into three categories:
The first category comprises official members of the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom, with over fifty individuals who have evolved beyond King level.
The second category consists of covenant nations along the northern and southern coasts of Wave Tree Bay, which have stable cooperative relationships with the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom, numbering around eighty.
The third category is from other parts of the continent, coming to support the expedition war, with numerous kingdoms.
The composition of the third category of insects is complex,
some have been actively participating in the war, like the Hawk Wasps, Forest Beard Bees, and Fish Cutting Leaf Ant Kingdom. One of the five leaders, the Mountain Pepper Ant King, comes from the Fish Cutting Leaf Ant Kingdom.
Some participate depending on the tide; when Wave Tree Bay is at a disadvantage in the war, they send troops to participate. Similarly, when Wave Tree Bay gains the upper hand, they withdraw.
There are also speculators who see the alliance at Wave Tree Bay as an opportunity to destroy Blue Island and try to gain benefits from it.
A small part might not intend to fight at all. They are sent by other Ant Clan and Bee Clan forces from the Wanglan Continent to gather intelligence.
Dragon Cypress convened the five leaders, seventeen deputy leaders, leaders of the elite combat teams, and a group of Spider Kings led by the Snow Velvet Spider King to discuss and distinguish each of the third category’s participants in detail.
Additionally, they need to assess these Ant Kings and Bee Kings’ strengths, including whether apart from racial talent, they have awakened any additional elemental talents through Divine-Grade fruits in their evolution and growth, whether they’ve mastered formidable abilities or condensed powerful Divine Marks, etc.
In this regard, the Flame Spider Roving Merchant has clearer insights.
After detailed inquiries, Dragon Cypress gained a relatively deep understanding of the internal situation of the Wave Tree Bay allied forces, preliminarily drafting a list in his mind.
As for the participating Insect Clan Warriors, they are also roughly divided into three categories.
Dragon Cypress thoroughly understood the situation and drafted a list for the suicide squad, preparing to make simple adjustments to the elite combat teams of the fifth group army afterwards.
There’s also the matter of the Ocean God’s Scepter and the "Sea God Trust Scroll," which requires coordination with the Flame Spider Roving Merchant. Dragon Cypress led the management team from the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom and negotiated details with the group led by the Snow Velvet Spider King.
After spending seven or eight days, all matters were settled.
Dragon Cypress returned to the Thousand Reef Archipelago, stationed at Rift Leaf Island.
Not idle either,
continued attempting to integrate the Water System "Moon Spots" ability into the Whirl Beast, intensively training the Flash Strike ability.
In the evening, he allotted time to attempt to combine two Divine Mark abilities, the Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm and the Nosh Remnants Realm, with the newly realized Ice Crystal ability to construct a stronger "Frost Nourishing Remnant Realm."
In a short time, these three abilities are most likely to succeed, and moreover, they provide the greatest enhancement to the Whirl Beast and Specialized Blue Soldiers.
...
In the early winter of the Northern Hemisphere, Dragon Cypress entered the Zhibai Continent to inspect, personally guiding the team to fish in the far sea.
In midwinter, under the initiative of the twelve top-level tribes, nearly a thousand tribes participated, and a million warriors swarmed into the mountains and forests to hunt for food.
The harvested food was first concentrated in the twelve top-level tribes, later transported to Dragon Cypress’s three sub-nest bases through the Hawk Wasps Army and other means.
After refinement, they were ultimately sent to the cold storage on Golden Scale Island.
With a lot of insects bringing strength, this one-time harvest equaled Dragon Cypress’s ten years’ income from distant sea fishing.
...
Silver Cypress Year 188.
Northern Hemisphere spring.
The Flame Spider Caravan sends another Divine-Grade One-Glimpse Fruit.
It was arranged for Silver Cypress to use.
Specifically prepared for the Divine-Given Seed that could substantially enhance the understanding of Sea Beast Devouring and Kirin Beast.
The production cycle of the Divine-Grade One-Glimpse Fruit is six years, still time to manage to obtain two or three more, maybe even four.
The life seeds left by the deceased Stone Hunt Blue Ants and Sea God Horn Beetle warriors should be able to secure two or three top-level Divine-Given Seeds to serve as life seeds.
...
The Snow Velvet Spider King helped by using its spatial ability to first transfer some of the White Refining Beads stored at the Snow Cedar Mountain cold storage on Cloud Trace Continent to Rainbow Island.
Rainbow Island also urgently constructed a large batch of cold storage facilities, to temporarily store them.
...
Early summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Early winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
Dragon Cypress returned to Rainbow Island, hibernating in caves together with other insects, waiting silently.
Law Divine Power arrived as expected, glanced swiftly past.
Based on experiences from multiple occurrences, Law Divine Power would not sweep back.
Successfully, avoided the summoning by the Natural God once again.
All insects gathered under the White Poplar Divine Seed tree. Round Cypress, Black Cory, Black Leaf, and Black Peach busily organized a grand celebration banquet.
Yellow Stem inquired, "Dragon Cypress, with the Expedition Year gone, are we about to counterattack Blue Island?"
Dragon Cypress replied, "Wave Tree Bay should be gathering armies, preparing to set out now."
Ink Orchid came over excitedly, "Am I joining the battle too?"
"Of course!"
Dragon Cypress simply explained, "During the winter cross-sea expedition, Ink Orchid will be the vanguard. I won’t bring the Ant Army over; I’ll be stationed in the rear to command the battle."
Ink Orchid happily agreed, "Alright!"
Red Moonseed raised a claw asking, "Great King, Second King, if you’re both gone, what about the safety on Rainbow Island...?"
Dragon Cypress said, "Cypress and Silver Cypress will lead troops back to Rainbow Island to assist in defense."
Ink Orchid, "Won’t that delay the food collection work?"
Dragon Cypress replied, "There’s no choice; this year will be delayed. After conquering Blue Island, spring, summer, and fall seasons, Ink Orchid, you stay on Blue Island to help seal off the eight directions. During winter, return to Rainbow Island to garrison."
