Ant Lord in the Star Realm
Chapter 854 - 640: 5025 Legion (Part 2)
"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"
"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"
Cypress and Silver Cypress led the Ant Army to the top of the cliff, greeting according to Dragon Cypress's instructions.
Dragon Cypress shook its tentacles and shouted: "Cypress! Silver Cypress! Come over quickly, this is the Golden Maclura Longhorn Beetle King, our fifth army group's deputy leader, come meet him."
"Greetings, Golden Maclura Longhorn Beetle King!"
Cypress and Silver Cypress stepped forward steadily and greeted respectfully.
"Good!"
"A powerful Assistant King! A mighty Ant Army! No wonder Snow Velvet Tycoon introduced you personally!"
The Golden Maclura Longhorn Beetle King exclaimed repeatedly.
The surrounding Insect Clan Warriors, Ant Clan, and Bee Clan Assistant Kings were amazed and praised.
It was evident that the Ant Army brought by Dragon Cypress was much more formidable than other Ant Clan and Bee Clan members, surpassing those fierce warriors known for their robust individual combat, like the Roving Ants, Venom Sting Ants, and Fierce Ants.
A mutated Giant-Headed Blind Leaf-Cutting Ant?
This change is too exaggerated, right?
Obviously, it's not the species that's powerful; it's the Dragon Cypress Ant King that's formidable!
This time, they truly found extraordinary reinforcements!
Officially joined the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom?
That's great!
The Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom's strength is even greater now!

The insects discussed lively.
"Is the White Crystal Butterfly King coming?"
Suddenly, an insect shouted.
Instant quietness, they all turned to look at the distant sea.
A Colorful Butterfly glimmered as it arrived and gently landed.
White Crystal Butterfly King!
It was evident that the White Crystal Butterfly King held high prestige among the insect swarm.
The insects all greeted in turn.
Dragon Cypress, along with Ink Orchid, Cypress, and Silver Cypress, moved forward to introduce themselves.
Another round of pleasantries.
"Alright."
"That's enough. The battle is approaching. Everyone return to their posts and focus on your tasks."
The Golden Maclura Longhorn Beetle King understood there were matters to discuss, flared its elytra, and shouted.
The insects gradually dispersed.
White Crystal Butterfly King spread its wings and activated the Nightfall Ability, creating a barrier that isolates spiritual power detection, enveloping Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, Golden Maclura Longhorn Beetle King, Cypress, and Silver Cypress.
"Dragon Cypress Ant King, Golden Maclura Longhorn Beetle King, the Dark Maple Leader's intention is to integrate the Rainbow Island Ant Nation team into the Elite Combat Team, numbered as the 5025 Corps. It is directly commanded by the Dark Maple Dragonfly King, designated for tasks like raids, ambushes, and decapitation strikes. In special battle situations, Dragon Cypress Ant King can also act opportunistically, targeting the Assistant Kings and Ant Kings of the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Clan for surprise attacks."
This is the tactical layout of the regular elite combat corps.
Golden Maclura Longhorn Beetle King: "..."
Dragon Cypress: "Following the Dark Maple Leader's command!"
White Crystal Butterfly King lowered spiritual power thoughts again, asking: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, as told by the Snow Velvet Spider King, you now have the strength to single-handedly compete with the Kirin Beast Ant King?"
Dragon Cypress: "One-on-one is definitely not a problem. If its Kirin Beast body length still does not exceed 800 meters, with a force of less than 200,000, I have confidence in defeating it."
White Crystal Butterfly King: "Good!"
White Crystal Butterfly King instructed: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, then you don't need to do anything else; just observe, don't easily reveal your strength, wait for news, wait for an opportunity."
Dragon Cypress: "I understand."
White Crystal Butterfly King glanced at the Golden Maclura Longhorn Beetle King.
The Golden Maclura Longhorn Beetle King reacted swiftly, immediately saying: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, the Ant Army you brought should not show too much either, I will arrange a secluded Ant Nest for you to rest."
"Good!"
"Thank you, Golden Maclura Longhorn Beetle King."
Dragon Cypress said: "Then for the battle issues, I will directly communicate with the Dark Maple Dragonfly King?"
White Crystal Butterfly King: "Of course."
Dragon Cypress: "Under me, Mantis King Ink Orchid is responsible for delivering messages. Then Ink Orchid and I will go to Yu'e Island, visiting the Dark Maple Dragonfly King and the other four leaders of the Wave Tree Bay. Cypress and Silver Cypress, you lead the ants, follow the Golden Maclura Longhorn Beetle King, and find a place to settle."
"Alright!"
"Good!"
The insects agreed one after another.
...
Yu'e Island is located just to the west of Shizhi Mountain, with a direct line distance of just over a hundred kilometers.
The area is about 13,000 square kilometers, definitely not a small island.
Nearly oval-shaped, flat terrain, and overall elevates less than 30 meters above the sea level, with no towering peaks, hard to defend for the Wave Tree Bay Allied Forces.
But if exchanged for the Stone Hunt Blue Ants skilled in naval warfare, adept at handling sea water and launching tsunamis, the island can be easily transformed into a strategically defensible stronghold.
Of course,
The Wave Tree Bay Alliance also deployed specialized earth system ability species to carry out extensive transformations on the island.
Exterior and mid-layer defenses, stationed at one after another defense points, were pyramids of varying heights between thirty or a hundred meters, linked into patches.
Inner layer defenses were undulating oval-shaped hills, arranged in two circles.
In the island's central region, many earth system ability constructed mounds were stationed with the most elite corps of the Allied Forces.
At the very center, a magnificent palace built with earth-stone abilities, the main nest for war command.
Pentagon-shaped, five entrances serving as halls for the leaders to handle affairs.
A large number of dragonflies, bees, butterflies, locusts, and other flight-capable insect clan warriors were either waiting outside the palace, hovering in the sky, or passing between, delivering messages.
The Alliance's fifteen million strong army was orderly operating under the command of the five leaders.
...
Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid visited the Dark Maple Dragonfly King, and White Crystal Butterfly King invited the other four leaders to come and introduce themselves, planning and discussing secretly.
The main focus was to plan how to find an opportunity to eliminate the greatest threat, the Kirin Beast Ant King.
Seems no opportunity for now.
According to frontline observations reported back, the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army is frequently mobilizing, already starting war preparations, while the Kirin Beast Ant King is, as always, starting at dawn, ending at dusk, focused on training 'Kirin', showing no intention to join the army in battle.
Definitely won't encounter it on the battlefield.
Initiating an attack is not possible either.
Even if the Kirin Beast Ant King goes to sea, it will not be far from the northern side of Octagon Continent; it would not leave the field of vision of the main nest's scouting Assistant King.
