I Can Raze Yin City
Throughout the history of Ruolan Star, there have been many different interpretations of the term "Insect Race".
These ambiguous "definitions" were mostly spread by the Beastfolk themselves.
The purpose was to cover up this allied race that had become a vassal of the Beastfolk.
The term "Insect Race" now refers to the insectoid species within the Orc Beastfolk.
However, a century ago, it also broadly referred to a species that followed certain specific social behaviors.
In short, the so-called special social behavior is that all members follow the will of the "Central Brain".
In addition, they possess extraordinary reproductive capabilities and terrifying average individual strength.
Furthermore, the tribespeople were disciplined and fearless in the face of death.
This is the true "Insect Race," feared by all races.
The sea creatures surging onto both banks of the Spirit Resonance River at this moment, judging from their current appearance, were likely bred with the help of the Insect Race.
However, these artificially modified species have only existed for a few decades so far.
The sea creatures aren't even considered intelligent species; they're ultimately no match for the Insect Race.
"Pfft!"
It is the faint sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh.
A Leafcutter Ants, about 1.6 meters tall, suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
Then, under the cover of the tree canopy, the carcass of the hunted sea monster was quickly dragged into the soil.
Ten minutes later, more Leafcutter Ants crawled out.
In this way, while the sea beasts devoured the forest, they rapidly multiplied and grew stronger amidst the waves of the Sea Race army.
Because their numbers are still relatively small, almost no one has noticed their existence.
Besides the Shisui with their Radiant Feathers scattered throughout the battlefield.
"Um?"
The sudden appearance of the new species caught the attention of Shisui, who was still in the process of Metamorphosis.
Incidentally, now that he has ascended to the Earth Realm, he is able to retain his clarity of mind during the [Metamorphosis].
Let's return to the discovery of Shisui.
The rapidly increasing number of Leafcutter Ants finally entered Radiant Feathers's perception range as they ventured deeper into the sea mammal swarm to hunt.
They are significantly taller than small sea mammals, and although their height is not particularly noticeable among medium-sized sea mammals, their appearance is still quite different.
After all, there are no marine mammals that look like ants.
Shisui projected a wisp of his senses onto the ant through Radiant Feathers.
And so he "saw" ants wielding their serrated, knife-like predatory legs, effortlessly hunting down a group of sea creatures as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
Then, the land of the Lingyun River Rainforest seemed to come alive, quickly swallowing all the corpses present.
This scene immediately made Shisui frown, and he even stopped the process of [Metamorphosis].
"Damn, the food thieves are here!"
The biological cocoon quickly transformed back into Kagune, releasing the Shisui within.
Standing in mid-air, he calmed the chaotic Psychic Energy within his body in just a few breaths, completely calming and assimilating it.
His realm was stabilized at the Early Third Realm of the Earth Realm, Shisui did not continue to [Metamorphosis].
The most urgent task is to figure out what's going on with these suddenly appearing insects before losing more food.
Based on the rate of proliferation he observed, any later and a large number of marine mammals would likely be lost.
Shisui, who made a living by feeding on Flesh Crystals, suddenly realized that his livelihood might be in jeopardy.
With a sudden swipe of its two Ukaku, Shisui charged into the newly opened Space Wormhole and vanished in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, he reappeared in the Lingyun River Rainforest.
His figure flashed by like a ghost, and nearby sea creatures were instantly snapped in half.
Before the Leafcutter Ants could escape, they were suddenly trapped in place by the dense fog that seemed to have no presence around them.
Shisui flew to his front almost at the same time he was imprisoned.
Koukaku suddenly lunged out, completely engulfing the Leafcutter Ants in front of him, and then absorbed it into Alternate Space.
[Spirit Dream Recall] is ready in Alternate Space and will immediately invade the soul of the outsider.
Then, [Spirit Dream Recall] was blocked from the outside for the first time.
The Psychic Energy and Soul Energy emitted by this Leafcutter Ants were not particularly strong.
But it just couldn't break through the barrier on the outside of the ant's soul, and was firmly blocked outside.
Unable to search the memories within the soul, Shisui had no choice but to seek another method.
The Koukaku suddenly contracted, instantly crushing the struggling ants inside.
Since we don't know its origins, let's just leave it at that.
As long as they can all be killed, their origins don't matter.
Half an hour after the conflict began on the Spirit Resonance River, the ferocious Predator finally made its move.
Shisui moved precisely around the different Radiant Feathers Anchor.
While hunting these giant ants, he also casually harvested an entire swarm of marine mammals.
This directly led to a much faster-than-expected rate of Insect Race mortality.
"Something's not right. If it was just sea monsters, how could the children have died so quickly?"
"The Sea Race army has arrived? That shouldn't be the case; they should all be on the coastline right now."
In the middle of the forest, just a few kilometers underground from the battlefield, the Insect Mother received an urgent notification from the Insect Hive.
The rate of death, almost matching the output of the Insect Hive, left her somewhat stunned.
However, the Insect Mother immediately snapped out of her daze and turned to the chief of staff's personal guard beside her.
"I need to inform the Chief of Staff that an unknown situation has arisen on the battlefield; the Leafcutter Ants species is being rapidly wiped out."
The implication was that the situation involved military intelligence and was classified, and that the guards should recuse themselves.
As she spoke, her hands moved constantly, as if she were weaving something with the blood-red threads she produced.
The members of the Royal Guard were unaware of the situation at the front, but they knew that the Insect Mother would not speak without reason.
Their squad leader nodded, then led his team away, retreating to a distance.
Seeing that the surroundings were finally much more open, the Insect Mother stretched her body, which had become even more bloated from consuming large amounts of flesh and blood.
The blood-red flesh then slowly writhed.
After settling into a comfortable position, the Insect Mother Insect Race contacted a liaison Zerg unit left with the Chief of Staff.
"Excuse me, Chief of Staff," the Insect Mother spoke first, quickly recounting the situation at the front.
Only after describing the situation as serious enough did she reveal her true intentions.
"Sir, in order to stabilize the battle situation, I request permission to deploy all remaining Insect Hives."
She didn't specify how many "remaining Insect Hive" Insect Hive, but rather gave rather ambiguous answers.
Just tell me how many more Insect Hives you want to deploy.
Hua Guangqi wasn't stupid; he knew the Insect Mother had no intention of betraying him.
But he also knew that the Insect Race were simply unable to resist the urge to hunt and reproduce.
In the Insect Race mind, deploying only twenty Insect Hives in a war that could provide a large amount of resources would be tantamount to wasting food.
To give an example, it's like receiving free eggs based on the number of people in your household; you can't just not bring everyone in your family to get them together.
What a waste!
When the chief of staff asked so directly, the Insect Mother hesitated for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "Fifty."
"Cough... cough cough cough, fifty?!"
According to what they said when they first met, she had left thirty Insect Hive there, and had just sent out twenty of them.
There should be ten insects remaining around the Insect Mother now.
In other words, in half an hour, this well-fed Insect Mother swiftly wove a total of forty Insect Hive.
"So, can I release them all?"
Hua Guangqi fell silent, weighing the pros and cons.
Currently, most of the Sea Race's forces are on the south bank, but it's hard to say whether there are any soldiers hidden at the Spirit Resonance River as a backup.
The Insect Race Leafcutter Ants are not good at naval warfare, and if these Sea Race in the river escape, they may expose the Insect Race's presence.
Unless, first, troops are deployed to block both ends of the river.
"Insect Mother, are you confident that you can divide your forces and cut off both ends of the river without affecting the main battlefield?"
"Adding the twenty Insect Hives currently on the battlefield, I'm confident I can reach one hundred."
The Insect Mother immediately replied, then added, "With this force, I can also flatten Yin City."
