Since Ed reached an agreement with the Hive Will, this narrow passage connecting the Second Holy See and the southern Sea of Flowers of the Wilderness of Chaos has been given a new name on the map: [ Verdant Corridor ].
This area also contributed significantly to " Fir City Operation ".
Whether it's Soldier Bee, Worker Bee, or a queen bee, they are ultimately just Incarnation of the Hive Will. Even in death, it's no different than a human clipping their nails.
But even fingernails need nutrients to grow. The main area of Second Holy See, covered by heavy snow, naturally could not provide food for these bees in the cold winter. Therefore, it was the turn of the Verdant Corridor to come in handy.
The rules for this area are Ed's imitation of Willow's invention of the rules for the Sea of Flowers, so even in winter, a large number of flowers still bloom.
The Soldier Bee that help players transport and attack will also come here to replenish their energy after they run out. In other words, although the Verdant Corridor is nominally a passage connecting two factions, it is essentially a canteen for a group of insect-like monsters.
Marba led the elite of Fir City into this area that remained verdant even in the dead of winter, and the warm breeze made many of the Holy Crusaders feel as if they were in a dream.
It looks warm and peaceful here. Apart from the ridiculously large flowers, there's almost nothing wrong with it. You'd almost want to stay here forever.
Just as the Holy Crusaders soldiers were becoming drowsy from the sudden warmth, a piercing scream suddenly came from afar.
The scouts sent by Marba rode swiftly into the Sea of Flowers. The transition from pale to emerald green was rapid, and as the temperature rose, colorful flowers appeared before them.
After exchanging a few common hand signals, the scouts began to disperse and advance to investigate the situation. They were like the tentacles of the main force, constantly on guard for the presence of monsters.
As they passed a giant flower, a scout suddenly heard a somewhat familiar sound.
It was a low, buzzing sound, much like the insects that the rebel madmen rode when they attacked Fir City, only this time the sound was slightly lower and not as piercing as the screech of the Soldier Bee when they swooped down.
The scout looked up and saw a rather plump Worker Bee taking off from a huge flower beside him, its body covered in pollen. It flapped its wings vigorously, pulling some pollen off its body and even creating a smoke bomb-like effect in a small area around it.
Although there were slight differences in appearance, the scouts recognized at a glance that these were the insects that had been tamed by the rebels.
He suddenly raised his right hand, intending to use the Directed Alienation structure that launched the arrow to shoot it down, but after a brief moment of thought, he withdrew his hand.
The most urgent task is to report this matter to the Legion Commander. If this place is full of monsters like these, then we can't continue down this path.
Just as he turned the Hoofed Beast back the way it came, a cry that didn't sound like a human suddenly came from not far away.
He turned his head and saw that another scout had also spotted a Worker Bee covered in pollen, but the other seemed to be more irritable and immediately shot several arrows into the air, knocking it down.
The body structure of Worker Bee is not designed for combat; their chitinous exoskeleton is to Soldier Bee what a decorative wall is to a load-bearing wall.
The Holy Crusaders, who had recently undergone specialized anti-air training, had become accustomed to the body structure of the Soldier Bee, so a few arrows pierced through the Worker Bee's body almost effortlessly.
Its wings trembled erratically, and it finally wobbled to the ground.
The scout stared blankly at his companion's actions, when suddenly he heard a cry he had never heard before.
He looked up to his side and saw the Worker Bee he had released dancing in the air in a strange posture.
It needs to deliver a message!
The scout instantly understood everything. His hands swiftly Alienation, and he fired several arrows, shooting down the Worker Bee that was performing a figure-eight dance.
However, this scene was also seen by another Worker Bee far beyond the range of the shot. The Worker Bee shook off the bloated pollen on its body and then began to make strange noises and dance strangely.
It's all over, it's all over!
The Holy Crusaders inwardly groaned, his only thought being to stab his reckless comrade to death with his sword.
But it was too late to complain now. He suddenly squeezed his Hoofed Beast's belly, turned around, and began to run wildly.
Behind him, the Worker Bee ' mesmerizing calls and dances spread rapidly like a chain reaction. As the spread increased, some Soldier Bee that were consuming honey to replenish their nutrition raised their heads, finished feeding as quickly as possible, and took off.
The scout ran frantically while looking back, and soon saw a small patch of dark cloud rising from the horizon. With his professional ethics in mind, he forced himself to calm down and began to carefully estimate the number of insects.
The scout rushed into the Holy Crusaders's ranks and saw a stern-faced Marba. Without even saluting, he reported:
"Commander, this is the territory of those insects, the mount insects tamed by the rebels."
Marba frowned upon hearing this:
"Approximately how many are there? Is it possible to break through?"
Marba's anxiety at this moment was genuine. Antiya Lisi had only agreed to let him hold out for three days. Anyone who had fought in wars should understand the importance of speed. Furthermore, his professional ethics as Marba prevented him from using his demonic powers here.
If he lingers even a minute longer in this Sea of Flowers, he might face a situation where he never returns.
The Holy Crusaders thought for a moment and said:
"There are many, but not an overwhelming number; there are probably over a thousand."
Marba stroked his chin, quickly making up his mind. He summoned several messengers and said:
"Pass down the order: prepare for a forced march! Everyone in pairs, one with a shield and the other firing. We'll break through the insects' blockade as quickly as possible!"
"Yes!"
After giving the orders, Marba quickly arrived at the forefront of the Holy Crusaders. Once the long formation had slightly tightened, he took the lead and charged into the narrow Sea of Flowers.
Meanwhile, in the sky not far ahead of him, the Soldier Bee were already able to make a thunderous sound by flapping their wings, as if intimidating these enemies who could not fly.
With Marba leading the charge, the well-trained Holy Crusaders mustered their courage and followed.
However, some enemies cannot be defeated by courage alone. For those Grand Knights and Company Commanders, dealing with a few Soldier Bee is a piece of cake, but it is not the case for most ordinary Holy Crusaders.
