Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 727 - 598 Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King_3

Blue Island's current strength is largely due to its system. Moreover, under this system, it has grown progressively stronger over time, with each generation surpassing the last.

After mulling it over, Dragon Cypress asked, "Snow Velvet Spider King, how many kingdoms from the Wanglan Continent are participating in the war?"

Snow Velvet Spider King replied, "Currently, about three thousand kingdoms have responded, with roughly one thousand sending troops into battle."

Dragon Cypress remarked, "That's at least fifty million in military strength, isn't it? Wouldn't a small place like Yu'e Island be completely overwhelmed?"

Snow Velvet Spider King explained, "Ninety percent are Inland Kingdoms. They lack Water System Talents and are not adept at naval warfare. While they can handle land defense and air combat, they're not very effective in overseas island assault missions. For now, coastal defense is our priority. We must wait for Ant Kings and Bee Kings with Awakened Water System Talent to train more forces. Additionally, we need more powerful Insect Kings from the Zhibai Continent who are skilled in water combat to join us."

Snow Velvet Spider King continued, "Thunder System Talent is also crucial. It's needed to counter the Stone Hunt Blue Ants hiding in underwater channels, as Thunder System Abilities are particularly effective against them. Furthermore, it's the only effective counter against that Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King."

Snow Velvet Spider King added, "The most troublesome is still that Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King—a deadly nuisance."

Snow Velvet Spider King elaborated, "The 'Eddy' of the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King, from Sea Beast Devouring, fears neither Freezing nor fire and is immune to almost all types of material attacks. It can even block the detection of spiritual power; Soul System Abilities can't affect it. Thunder System Abilities can restrain it, but not absolutely—the Thunder System Ability must be sufficiently powerful. Currently, neither the Wanglan Continent nor the Zhibai Continent has an Insect King proficient enough in Thunder System Abilities to contend with it alone. A special elite team must be organized for a coordinated assault.

"Through its 'Eddy,' the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King can envelop and transport its Assistant Kings and hundreds of thousands of Soldier Ants. It moves silently and stealthily through the deep sea to approach the coast and launch surprise attacks. It can also travel upriver from estuaries, penetrating deep into the mainland for covert raids and plunder.

"This particular Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King has also Awakened Wind System Talent, so its 'Eddy' possesses exceptional aerial flight capabilities. Even when surrounded, it can escape by air, eluding Insect Clans less adept at flying.

"No one can block it; no one can stop it. It comes and goes as it pleases, striking wherever it wishes. It plunders Wild God-Given Seeds and Source Stone Mines, causing panic among all Insects on the continent. Until Yu'e Island is retaken and this Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King is dealt with, the nature of warfare has changed. Instead of a battle every thirty years, we now face the constant threat of surprise attacks, forcing us into a defensive posture. All coastal kingdoms must be extremely vigilant, and all river estuaries must be heavily garrisoned.""

Dragon Cypress remained silent.

Just listening to this is enough to cause a headache.

A sense of unease washed over Dragon Cypress. This is deeply troubling. He then asked, "Snow Velvet Spider King, doesn't that mean Rainbow Island is at risk of being attacked by the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King at any moment?"

Snow Velvet Spider King affirmed, "Precisely!"

Dragon Cypress hesitated. "Then... King Ant Goldna..."

Snow Velvet Spider King seemed somewhat lost for words, pausing for two seconds before replying, "King Ant Goldna spent 40 years and successfully condensed his first Divine Mark. How should I put it... The rate is slow, yes, but it's not entirely without hope. He's unwilling to leave just like that, and I can't very well force him out. Given these times of war, I can only arrange for his relocation to Shanglu to continue his development."

Dragon Cypress was silent again.

Snow Velvet Spider King continued, "King Ant Goldna is currently packing his belongings. As soon as I finish our transaction here, I'll hurry over to assist with his migration. Dragon Cypress Ant King, would you like to come along and bid him farewell?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Dragon Cypress replied, "Of course. We are acquainted, after all, and our relationship is quite good. King Ant Goldna is a fine Insect too. Once we part this time, we may never meet again. I should at least say goodbye."

Snow Velvet Spider King agreed, "Alright. Then we'll go together later."

Dragon Cypress then asked, "Snow Velvet Spider King, what about protecting Rainbow Island...?"

Snow Velvet Spider King responded, "Leave it unguarded for now. That Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King is wreaking havoc across the entire sea. We can't do much about it at the moment. There's a high probability it will find Rainbow Island. To prevent it from discovering anything, the undersea passages need to be sealed. This will temporarily cut off travel between the Southern and Northern Hemispheres."

Dragon Cypress asked, "What about my ant colony on Fragrant Silk Island? Should I withdraw them all to the Cloud Trace Continent?"

Snow Velvet Spider King stated firmly, "Withdraw them! Your presence must not be revealed. Ensure that all Blue Soldiers and Blue Ants are evacuated."

Dragon Cypress acknowledged, "Understood."

Snow Velvet Spider King advised, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, focus on your Evolution. I will contact you once the situation in the Southern Hemisphere stabilizes, or during the Expedition Year after the next."

"Understood," Dragon Cypress confirmed.

Dragon Cypress solemnly nodded his Tentacles and said, "All my Life Seeds have already begun to cease flowering and fruiting. I plan to break through and advance to King-Level in seven to eight years."

Next year, Silver Cypress Year 68, would be the next Expedition Year. That is when Insect Kings of the 9th Age Period in the Origin Force Star Realm would depart together.

The Expedition Year after that would be Silver Cypress Year 98. Dragon Cypress had to migrate to the Southern Hemisphere before then, or he would be forcibly removed from the Origin Force Star Realm by the Law Divine Power.
