Ant Lord in the Star Realm
Chapter 915 - 660: Bloody Battle on Rainbow Island (Part 2)
The morning of Rainbow Island was deathly silent.
White Willow, as usual, periodically soared into the sky for reconnaissance while all other insects hibernated.
A large number of Specialized Blue Soldiers emerged from the nest, maneuvering along the ant paths, intensifying territorial patrols, all displaying a highly vigilant and battle-ready posture.
Gentle breeze, slight waves.
The usually bustling island was now only accompanied by the faint sound of waves lapping against the cliffs.
"Second King!"
"Coming!"
The Spiked Cypress lurking on the mountaintop triggered its Soul-Setting Ability as a warning.
"Hmm—"
Ink Orchid, hidden under a King Cypress, angrily scolded, "Fool! Don’t recklessly use your Soul-Setting Ability to sense! Be careful, or you’ll ruin everything!"
"I didn’t...what I saw was..."
The Spiked Cypress quickly withdrew its Soul-Setting Ability, waiting patiently.
Rumble~ Rumble~ Rumble~
To the southeast, seven or eight kilometers away, the calm sea suddenly surged with waves twenty to thirty meters high, rolling forward. The waves rapidly grew, transforming into hundred-meter-high tsunamis crashing towards the beach.
The tides instantly crossed the beach, submerging the coastal rainforest, surpassing the pyramid defenses constructed with Earth System Abilities, until they were finally stopped by the natural mountain barrier.
Hundreds of thousands of Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army emerged from the waves, recklessly charging towards the location where the Divine-Given Seed took root.
Among the Ant Army, several dozen Sea God Horn Beetles followed along in the assault.
In the distant ocean, three peculiar sea beasts spread their wings and took to the air, simultaneously, countless Stone Hunt Blue Ants took flight from the sea surface, launching an aerial attack, striking straight toward Rainbow Island.
At the same time,
A hundred-meter-high and several kilometers wide tsunami was forming sequentially in the east, west, and southwest, crashing towards the island.
"Form the ranks!"
"Form the ranks!"
The Spiked Cypress waved its tentacle, issuing commands.
"Charge—"
"Don’t charge!"
Rainbow Parasol Tree hurriedly bit the hind leg of Spiked Cypress, dragging it back strongly, warning, "Spiked Cypress, don’t act recklessly or you’ll ruin everything, and the Second King will kill you."
"..."
The Spiked Cypress was taken aback, its excitement cooled, and it reissued the command: "Prepare the Explosive Jet!"
The mountain peaks connected in pieces, 50,000 Specialized Blue Soldiers formed into formations, occupying the high ground, ready to unleash their power.
The Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army swiftly approached.
"Fire!"
The Spiked Cypress issued the command, and 50,000 ice pillars were initiated.
The dense sounds of explosions echoed throughout the island.
The battle officially commenced.
Immediately,
The east and west coasts simultaneously resonated with the explosion sounds of Explosive Jets.
After three consecutive rounds,
Rainbow Parasol Tree timely reminded, "Spiked Cypress, fight while retreating!"
Seeing the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army about to reach the mountain base.
The Spiked Cypress issued the command: Retreat!
The defending Specialized Blue Soldier Army retreated even faster, quickly ascending the mountain peaks at the rear, preparing for further action.
At the same time,
Unlike Spiked Cypress, there was no space for retreat on the eastern and western sides of the island. Cypress and Silver Cypress each commanded their troops, directly facing the vanguard army of the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army, launching the Explosive Jet and Nosh Remnants steadily.
In close combat, with a strong ’Devouring’ nature, fog rose, connecting thickly, forming an impenetrable defense line.
Explosive Jets specifically targeted the Ant Army flying in the air, and those few who broke through the defense line were struck down by the long-prepared Specialized Air Soldiers under the command of King Cypress.
The first waves of the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army charged forward to die, probing the strength and weaknesses.
In Xianglan Peak’s main nest, the Fourth Group Army led by Giant Cypress was set into motion, at the same time using Soul-Setting Ability to convey informational prompts:
"Second King, the Kirin Beast is attacking from the north."
"How do you know? I’ll warn you again, do not use the Soul-Setting Ability to spy! If you scare them off, I’ll count your heads as replacement!"
Ink Orchid scolded angrily.
"Second King, please don’t be impatient. I did not use the Soul-Setting Ability to detect. I was speculating. Currently, three sides are feigning attacks, and next, sea beasts are likely to land, and simultaneously, the Kirin Beast will lead the main forces in a surprise attack from the north. This is the simplest and most effective island invasion tactic."
Giant Cypress calmly analyzed, while commanding his troops, split into two, sending 20,000 Specialized Blue Soldiers to the south to support Spiked Cypress and Rainbow Parasol Tree, while leading the remaining 30,000 Specialized Blue Soldiers through an underground passage to the north.
King Cypress was suddenly alert, prompting, "The unique tree shape of Azure is too eye-catching, it’s become the main attack target of Blue Island!"
"That’s right~"
"Dragon Cypress overlooked this!"
Under the King Cypress, after much hesitation, Ink Orchid stealthily initiated the Great Ink Orchid’s Wind System guise, invisibly ascending into the sky, quietly approaching the Azure Tree.
"Azure, watch out!"
Ink Orchid prompted, hesitating for another two seconds, striving to activate Super Brain Ability, followed by triggering the Soul-Setting Ability, in an instant sensing clearly the surrounding enemy deployment around the island.
Indeed!
Three Kirin Beasts, loaded with Soldier Ants, transformed into a river, lurking on the northeastern coast, with six additional sea beasts lurking beneath the seafloor in the rear.
Moreover, in the east and west directions of the island, approximately ten kilometers from the coastline under the sea, three sea beasts were lurking, along with numerous Assistant Kings commanding the battle.
In the southern sea region of the island, which was under the fiercest attack, no Ant Army was lurking, only three Flying Sea Beasts circled in the air, seemingly observing the battlefield.
The Flying Sea Beasts did not conceal an Ant King or Assistant King within; they purely possessed Bionic Ability, remotely controlled by insects.
This control distance must be limited.
—Sea Soul? Sea Souls must use water currents as a medium.
—The remote control distance does not exceed a thousand meters. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
—The flight altitude of the three sea beasts is below a thousand meters!
Ink Orchid calmly analyzed, adjusted its focus, and a flash of the Soul-Setting Ability followed.
Sure enough, below the three Flying Sea Beasts, in the rainforest depression formed by the tsunami surging on the island, two Ant Kings and an Assistant King, under the cover of tens of thousands of Ant Army, cautiously exploring forward.
