Chapter 909: Chapter 658: Dragon Stride Mountain (Part 2)

"Alright—"

Butterfly King Nupur moved his tentacles slightly, then shook them again, saying: "’Eddy’ is still the most skilled in disguise and stealth biomimicry ability. Wind Phoenix Mountain invited three hundred Dragonfly Kings who excel at scouting, grouped in threes, who have surveyed the northern sea territory of Zhibai Continent and the southern ice and snow fields no less than dozens of times. They search for at least once a year and have never found any traces of the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King."

Dragon Cypress knew about this.

Dragon Cypress asked: "Does the Yellow Vine Bee King also dispatch tens of thousands of bee swarms to search every year?"

Butterfly King Nupur: "The Hawk Wasps Army primarily patrols coastal areas, and before this, they are invited every year to help."

Dragon Cypress: "Could the commotion be too much?"

Butterfly King Nupur replied helplessly: "They are indeed making a big issue out of it. Actually, the exaggerated rumors about Dragon Cypress Ant King’s combat prowess are mainly spread deliberately by the coastal kingdoms to intimidate Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King, making him afraid to act recklessly."

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Dragon Cypress: "It seems they’ve achieved their intended effect; for nearly twenty years, there hasn’t been news of anyone being attacked by Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King."

Butterfly King Nupur stated: "Indeed. But it’s understandable; those tribes with insect populations less than a thousand could face annihilation once attacked by Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King..."

...

After discussing for a while, he sent off Butterfly King Nupur.

Dragon Cypress returned to the island to check the Rainbow Island defense layout once more, ensuring there were no flaws.

He calmed his mind and patiently waited.

Silver Cypress Year 186.

Early spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s harvest season, following tradition, it’s also the final preparation stage for war.

Dragon Cypress summoned Cypress and Silver Cypress, leading an army of fifty thousand Specialized Blue Soldiers to set off.

The Whirl Beast transformed into Ice form, breaking waves and marching across the sea, with two raised tentacles holding the Yu’e Red Rose Battle Flag in the wind, fluttering loudly.

Twenty thousand Specialized Blue Soldiers stood atop the Whirl Beast.

Ten thousand soldiers accompanied on each side and behind, running along with it.

The massive army of fifty thousand Specialized Blue Soldiers with a body length exceeding three meters spread flat, majestic and grand.

The mighty army marched aligned along the ocean, a hundred kilometers from the coast, heading straight to Yu’e Island.

Nearing the island,

Dark Maple Dragonfly King, guarded by five Dragonfly Kings, personally went out to sea to welcome them.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King has worked hard! Cypress, Silver Cypress Assistant King, the journey has been arduous."

"Dark Maple Dragonfly King is too polite; as a member of the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom, it’s only right to send troops to join the battle."

"Dragon Cypress Ant King is so righteous!"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, the island’s lakes and food are prepared."

"Great! Just in time! We were in a rush and didn’t have time to hunt for food."

After simple greetings, Dragon Cypress asked: "Dark Maple Dragonfly King, the Kirin Beast Ant King has always been under the watch of White Crystal Butterfly King and others, right?"

"Of course!"

Dark Maple Dragonfly King: "There are monitoring points in both the north and south ends of Blue Island, originally three on the west coast, now increased to four, monitoring points currently scanning the whole island with Scorching Ability, any large-scale troop movement can be detected immediately and reported here."

"Then I am assured."

Dragon Cypress lowered his spiritual power mind, saying: "I will keep a low profile when landing on the island."

Dark Maple Dragonfly King understood Dragon Cypress’s intention.

Together, they waited at sea until nightfall.

The Whirl Beast transformed into Living Water form, with fifty thousand Specialized Blue Soldiers hidden inside, quietly drifting onto the island under the cover of night.

Dark Maple Dragonfly King personally led the way, advising along the route, as the Whirl Beast turned into a calm river, winding and flowing, entering the Central Region of Yu’e Island, quietly lurking within the excavated lake.

A Fish Cutting Leaf Ant Army responsible for logistics brought fresh game and fish carcasses and threw them into the lake.

Dragon Cypress activated the Devouring Ability, digesting and absorbing one by one, assisted by Cypress and Silver Cypress, managing food thrown to the Ant Army.

The Whirl Beast transformed into a lake of Living Water, silently lurking.

Three thousand Stinging Ants guarded the surrounding lake, forbidding any insect from approaching for inquiries.

Such an action could hardly be genuinely hidden from the insects on the island, at least not from those flying in the air specialized in scouting.

News of ’The invincible Dragon Cypress Ant King has already landed and hibernated at Yu’e Island’ quickly spread quietly...

... 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Dragon Cypress calculated the time.

Ten days later,

It was night.

Cypress quietly emerged from the lake, going to the Central Palace to visit Dark Maple Dragonfly King again.

"Assistant King Cypress, does Dragon Cypress Ant King have any requests?"

Dark Maple Dragonfly King routinely inquired.

"There are a few matters—"

Cypress had a thought, Nightfall Ability activated, a barrier isolating spiritual power detection enveloped Dark Maple Dragonfly King.

"Dark Maple Dragonfly King, I am here on behalf of Dragon Cypress Ant King to bid farewell."

"Farewell?"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King suspects that the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King, who has been missing for nearly twenty years, is likely to take advantage of the Yu’e Island battle and jump out to create chaos. Dragon Cypress Ant King plans to secretly infiltrate Zhibai Continent to resolve Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King. Dragon Cypress Ant King came early and kept a low profile primarily to confuse Blue Island."

"!!!"

Dark Maple Dragonfly King’s eyes flickered with green light, his mind swapped rapidly, shaking his tentacles, saying: "Five thousand ants with body lengths over three meters moving cannot be hidden from the insects on the island. Such a large-scale march through the pass of Dragon Stride Mountain, cannot be concealed from the insects there, nor from Blue Island’s eyes."

Cypress: "Please rest assured, Dark Maple Dragonfly King, you just have to arrange the disguise for Yu’e Island, you can find a Butterfly King from the Saint Butterfly Tribe who also possesses the Vortex Beast Divine Inscription to replace. As for Dragon Stride Mountain, Snow Velvet Spider King has a solution."

Dark Maple Dragonfly King considered carefully, reluctantly agreed: "No problem!"

Cypress paused, then reminded: "Dark Maple Dragonfly King, Dragon Cypress Ant King also asked me to remind the five leaders. In the last battle, Blue Island had surplus troops over eleven million, this time increasing soldiers if secretly operated, the quantity could reach seventeen to eighteen million. If they exert themselves fully, three Kirin Beasts can lead a force of up to twelve million strong to attack Yu’e Island..."
