After defeating the Orc army, the Insect Race had made tremendous strides in military strength. Its ground forces now numbered in the trillions.
The number of warships was also growing rapidly, but Zhang Fan still thought it was too slow. After all, the Orcs deployed tens of millions of ships at a time. Looking at his own fleet of barely a million Insect Race warships, he felt they had utterly failed to exploit their numerical advantage.
Zhang Fan was discussing ways to expand the fleet quickly with Shusha when Nexis contacted him through their mental link.
"Overlord, Princess Domina has requested a million warships from us and asked me to command them personally. It seems Her Highness has begun scheming against our Insect Race."

The {Matriarch} promptly
