"The five leaders held a brief discussion. The Ant King of Blue Island, who controls the kilometer-long Kirin Beast, is codenamed 'Kirin Beast Ant King,' and the Sea God Horn Beetle warrior controlling the four-hundred-meter Kirin Beast is codenamed 'Kirin Beast Beetle King.'

Blue Wing carefully observed Dragon Cypress's reaction.

Dragon Cypress moved its tentacles slightly, paused, and asked, "What instructions does the Dark Maple Dragonfly King have?"

Blue Wing replied, "The five leaders request Dragon Cypress Ant King to attend the council."

"Alright—"

Dragon Cypress pondered for a moment, gently flapped the giant ant's wings, spiraled downwards, and landed on a low-lying ground, suddenly contracted, transformed into a Living Water state, and turned into a pool of clear water.

Cypress and Silver Cypress sank into the water to hide.

Ink Orchid stood alone on the water surface, activating the Twilight and Dusk abilities to cover and conceal.

Now, Dragon Cypress is the core force intimidating the Kirin Beast Ant King.

Only the insects in the Insect Capital knew Dragon Cypress brought only thirty thousand Specialized Blue Soldiers, and only the five leaders knew that his subordinates numbered less than twenty thousand.

Dragon Cypress appeared strong but is weak inside.

It shouldn't be known by the other insects in the Allied Army, nor should it be detected by Blue Island's side.

Dragon Cypress proceeded independently to the palace.

Inside the hall where Mountain Pepper Ant King handled affairs, over twenty insects formed a semicircle, with a terrain map of Yu'e Island made using Earth System abilities in the center.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

Dark Maple Dragonfly King warmly greeted, signaling Dragon Cypress to sit by the White Crystal Butterfly King.

"This Ant King of Dragon Cypress has been personally introduced by the Snow Velvet Tycoon and has officially joined the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom. Currently, the strongest Ant King on the continent, many insects have seen, possesses the terrifying power of killing 'Kirin.'

"Dragon Cypress Ant King has officially joined our Fifth Group Army, designated unit 5025, for independent operations..."

Dark Maple Dragonfly King introduced solemnly.

Previously, Dragon Cypress's existence was semi-confidential, and now that he has showcased his strength on the battlefield, there is no need to continue hiding him.

All insects moved their tentacles greetingly.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, let me introduce the leaders of our Fifth Group Army elite regiments." White Crystal Butterfly King lightly raised a claw, pointing at a strong Grasshopper warrior on the opposite side, covered with green spikes, scarlet eyes, and over four meters in length, introduced:

This is the Zhibai Continent, from Firm Wood Mountain, Red Eye Hunter Grasshopper Tribe, Reaper Leaf Insect King, leader of the 5002 regiment..."

"Dragon Cypress Ant King~!"

"Reaper Leaf Insect King!"

They greeted each other with tentacle movements.

White Crystal Butterfly King pointed at a beetle with a completely gray-black body, uneven carapace, covered with large and small tumorous protuberances, with tentacles in granular form, looking strange. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Zhibai Continent, Gold Oak Mountain, Demon Iron Ghost Beetle Tribe, Shiny Oak Beetle King, leader of the 5003 regiment..."

...

In the Fifth Group Army, units numbered with 50 are elite combat teams tasked with execution missions.

The Saint Butterfly Tribe was the earliest to join the Zhibai Continent's battle, so they are designated as the 5001 regiment, mainly composed of Saint Butterfly Warriors mixed with some miscellaneous insect clan warriors from Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom's natives.

The 5002 and 5003 regiments are the most formidable.

They were meticulously selected a century ago when the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King emerged, wreaking havoc across the continent. Gathered are battle-loving, war-loving, and extraordinarily strong Insect Kings, forming the assemblage of Zhibai Continent's top combat power.

Each regiment consists of a hundred Insect Kings, along with the cooperative ant tribe and bee tribe regiments.

Their Life Seeds are stored in absolutely safe places in the Zhibai Continent, without any worries.

Stationed permanently on Yu'e Island, they specifically practice various cooperative warfare tactics.

In this battle, the 5002 and 5003 regiments cooperated to kill two Ant Kings who comprehended the Sea Beast Devouring ability of Blue Island, one Sea God Horn Beetle, and one Assistant King.

These two regiments, besides Dragon Cypress, are currently the strongest force in the Wave Tree Bay Alliance.

...

The ones summoned for the discussion are all elites from each Group Army.

White Crystal Butterfly King introduced each one, and when the introductions were complete, all insects had arrived.

Mountain Pepper Ant King spoke, somewhat fearful, "Thankfully, we had Dragon Cypress Ant King in this battle to resolve an inevitable defeat crisis. Thank you, Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

The other insects chimed in, with a round of courteousness.

Mountain Pepper Ant King continued, "Judging by the situation, the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army is not willing to withdraw like this! However, since the first wave's strongest offensive has failed, if they attack again, we are not afraid. The five leaders have discussed and formulated a strategy to counter the enemy."

Mountain Pepper Ant King indicated with his tentacles and said, "Stone Hunt Blue Ants only have about six million soldiers remaining. Due to Dragon Cypress Ant King's intimidation, if they attack the island again, they will likely gather all their strength for a frontal assault from the island's west."

"Once the battle commences, my suggestion is for Dragon Cypress Ant King to hold up the Kirin Beast Ant King, and White Crystal Butterfly King's 5001 regiment; Emerald Sparrow Assistant King's 4001 regiment; and Sharp Tail Assistant King's 3001 regiment will assist in the fight. Other insects, led by the Reaper Leaf Insect King's 5002 regiment and Shiny Oak Beetle King's 5003 regiment, will concentrate all elite forces to surround and attempt to kill the Kirin Beast Beetle King."

Mountain Pepper Ant King looked at Dragon Cypress and added, "Dragon Cypress Ant King bears the greatest responsibility and risk; success will be credited with one-third of the combat merit, while the other two-thirds will be equally divided between the 5002 and 5003 regiments."

Dark Maple Dragonfly King looked at Dragon Cypress, and all eyes followed.

Dragon Cypress replied briefly, "Agreed!"

All eyes turned to the Reaper Leaf Insect King.

Reaper Leaf Insect King: "We follow the arrangement of the five leaders."

All eyes turned to Shiny Oak Beetle King.

Inherited Memory records that Demon Iron Ghost Beetle is one of the insect clans with the strongest carapace defense.

Usually, insects proficient in defense tend to have stable and conservative characters.

Shiny Oak Beetle King was hesitant and asked, "Mountain Pepper Ant King, can we confirm that Stone Hunt Blue Ants will attack from the island's west? Is there a specific battle plan?"

Mountain Pepper Ant King: "We cannot be 100% certain; however, the defensive outworks and inner layer on the western coast have been completely destroyed and cannot be rebuilt in a short time..."
