Lu Yao was inspired by the Black Water Strider invasion.
There was nothing inherently wrong with [Whistle Blower]’s strategy of using a specific species with superb fertility to make a devastating impact on the entire world’s ecological chain.
It was just that Lu Yao was too overdeveloped, causing the Black Water Strider to fall into a new economic species shortly after its appearance.
This time, Lu Yao’s chosen insect was the locust, aiming straight at the rear grain area of the Fifth Dauntless Empire.
He first put the locusts into the experimental area.
A more mature and stable ecological chain had already been formed here, with predators such as the White t*ts and the Mad Inferno Birds, the ground had the Fighting Spade Beetle and the Strange Grass, the two types of Phoenix Butterflies acted as ambassadors for the spread of the plants, and the trees were a world of Pine Crawler Squirrels.
Together with Pinkman sitting in the centre, the ecological structure could be adjusted at any time.
After being busy for a while, Lu Yao named a new transcendental species.
……
[Green Flying Locust LV1]
Life Value: 7/7
Mana Value: 1/1
Damage: 2
Defence: 1
Speed: 7
[Endurance
……
[Swarming]
Gathering together creates more combat power, the more you have, the greater the increase.
……
Next, he opened the Golden Wilderness to further transform it.
Lu Yao clicked on the Tree of Sylvanus, and the creation map of the Tree of Creation was once again revealed.
He selected the species [Green Flying Locust] and the prop [bast*rd Whale Moustache].
After being fused by the Fire Props, the Flying Locust became slightly larger in size, with a slight increase in blood and panels, and more fine white patterns on its body.
Abilities that can be granted include.
Positive Abilities: [Rapid Reproduction], [Diving], [Bleeding] and [Camouflage].
Negative Abilities: [Overeating], [Madness], and [Seasonal Death].
Lu Yao chose one positive and one negative ability.
……
[Rapid Breeding]: can reproduce the next generation at an extremely fast rate.
……
[Overeating]: Irresistible desire to eat, can consume a large amount of food at once.
……
These two abilities were most suitable for Locusts, and with the two initial characteristics of endurance and swarming, they perfectly fit the positioning of a guerrilla behind enemy lines.
Lu Yao named it [Bully Locust].
The simulator displayed.
[Please select the world where you want to drop this species.]
This time, the available options removed the shard world unnamed and added an extra Uzi Kingdom.
Lu Yao chose the latter.
The vast majority of the Wuzhi Kingdom’s area was sand and gravel, with sparse vegetation on the ground, and the Wuzhi people did not cultivate food or rely on it. They themselves were a special kind of elemental creature, and to say that their food was also the underground Wu element and other ores.
So the locusts dropping in here had no effect on them.
Moreover, there weren’t many edible plants here, so once the Bully Locusts had completed their initial reproduction, their next step would inevitably be to migrate towards the Dauntless Empire, which had a lot of farmland.
Lu Yao observed the movements of the Dauntless Empire’s side and waited patiently.
At this time, he noticed that the Imperial Army was beginning to make big movements.
On the ground, a legion advanced further towards the hinterland of the Wuzhi Kingdom. The ability to advance so accurately was thanks to the group of surrendered Uzi who acted as the lead at this point.
The captured Wuzhi warriors had a different fate, as they were tied up and walked at the front as cannon fodder and meat shields.
This made the Uzis’ defence and counter-attack even more constrained.
The Imperial side, on the other hand, was in full force.
The leading officers and generals made conquistador proclamations along the way.
“The duty of the weak is to submit, resisting the Empire is suicide!”
“The Fearless Empire is invincible in battle, and you subterranean worms, who are nothing but mule-like pariahs, actually want to block the iron hooves of the Empire’s advance?”
“The fact that the Empire hasn’t gone on a killing spree against you so far is the benevolence of His Majesty the Emperor. As long as you believe in Lord Glass God and offer your faith and loyalty, you will be saved and you can become glorious Imperial citizens!”
“A backward and barbaric civilisation must be washed and evolved under the light of the Empire.”
“It is our mission and responsibility to transform you, and it is your duty to accept the transformation.”
“All for the faith and glory of the gods!”
……
The surrendering Uzis leading the way were also vocalising in sign language and on stone tablets engraved with their words of persuasion.
“Brothers, both you and we are loyal to this land in our hearts, only our choices are different.”
“Continuing the war any longer will only lead to more deaths, and nothing will make sense. First there were the Uzi people, then there was the Uzi King, which led to the Kingdom of Uzi.”
“We must admit that the Uzi are a backward and inferior race, unable to smelt, plant, write, sing and dance, with bodies heavy as tombstones. This is the original sin of our ignorance and shame.”
“Only embracing the Empire can give us true civilisation!”
“Brothers, don’t be compelled by the King of Uzi any longer, what the Empire has initiated is not war, but liberation!”
“The future of the Uzi people lies in the Empire.”
……
Lu Yao watched coldly.
The Dauntless Empire did have a knack for understanding war.
From physical strikes to mental strikes, annihilating living forces plus creating internal conflicts, it looked like these tricks hadn’t been used much in the past.
……
In the face of the enemy’s heavy attack, the Wuzhi Kingdom was somewhat tired of dealing with it.
The end result was that they could only keep retreating, giving up large swathes of land.
Although the Wuzhi people had come underground, they had also established stone mountains on the ground, which allowed for further expansion and extension of space, and was also a manifestation of the Wuzhi people’s obsession with space.
A stone mountain was destroyed, causing them to shrink back underground.
Soon, the Imperial Legion attacked from all sides and came to the last fortress above ground in the Uzi Kingdom – this was also the place where Isabelle visited the Uzi King.
It was said to be a fortress, but in fact, a conical mountain was piled up on the ground.
The conical mountains were called Earth Arches by the Wuzhi people, and on the outside of the Earth Arches there were stone caves that could be closed to allow the Wuzhi people to move to the ground, and the inside of the mountains were filled with passages in which the Earthwalker Boats could be docked.
It is also the only city in the Uzi Kingdom, and is called [Uda], the place where the Uzi arrive.
From the air, Uda looked like a stretch of rolling hills, except that each one was neatly aligned, with a strange beauty of order.
Imperial forces had surrounded this place, preparing to completely destroy the last line of defence of the Uzi.
If this place fell, the ground would be completely devoid of their hiding places.
The Uzis will hide in their underground burrows and scatter like gophers to escape.
When people are scattered, it’s hard to reunite them.
The imperial generals knew in their hearts that as long as this city of the Wuzhi people was destroyed, it would be the straw that broke the back of the Wuzhi people, causing them to completely lose their confidence and their will to resist.
It would be even better if the King of the Uzi made a move.
Even if the soldiers died for the divine might of this god, it would be a great honour, and the family and children would receive imperial preferences and fiefdoms. The Emperor had always been unstinting in his rewards for warriors who died for their gods, and this was the backbone of the Empire’s soldiers’ frantic fight for their lives.
At that time, the Glass God would be able to strike down this god who had been in hiding and win the war completely.
The first legion arrived outside of Uda City.
The general on the horse raised the iron sword in his hand: ”Soldiers! Capture this city of foreign believers! How many fief rewards you can obtain from the Emperor depends on how much courage and fighting spirit you have!”
“This is the battle to build your career!”
The soldiers put up their shields and spears, and followed the general as he charged into the city against the stones and explosions of the Uzis.
As the city of Uda did not have any decent walls or fortifications, the Imperial Legion easily crossed the stone fence at the edge.
They killed the Uzi warriors with bows and spears, and had the militia dig through the ground arches to salvage the barred or pike-shaped groundwalkers inside, which were valuable trophies.
All the Ujjis were falling back, and all of them converged under one of the earth arches.
The general found it strange.
The conical hill was no different from its surroundings, neither tall nor with any special embellishments or carvings, and the only difference to be said was that there was a crude fence filled with stones piled up.
Could it be that this led straight down to King Uzi’s shrine?
The general’s eyes burned.
He shouted loudly, “Soldiers, listen to my order, form up and take that arch of the earth!”
The originally dispersed soldiers heard the commander’s order and immediately aligned themselves again, holding their shields and lifting their spears to advance towards the front.
The archers at the back fired rounds and rounds of shots, causing the Wu Ji warriors to have to hide behind the rocks, unable to show their heads at all. They could only throw stones in vain, but these stones could not cause any damage to the shield formation of the imperial soldiers.
Just as the soldiers were about to rush through the fence, a group of blue freaks suddenly rushed out from behind the ground arch.
There were about hundreds of blue-skinned people, and they were shot with arrows all over their bodies, but they didn’t seem to be afraid of pain at all. They just madly and easily rushed into the imperial legions, wielding the axes and hammers in their hands, quickly destroying the army formation.
Transcendent power!
The general was shocked in his heart.
King Uzi was surprisingly hiding a powerful elite guard.
The general immediately ordered, “Retreat, retreat!”
He took the lead in tactical shifting on horseback.
The soldiers behind him also immediately retreated at speed.
But after running for a while, the general then realised that the other side wasn’t chasing after them. They seemed to have some sort of restriction that they could not leave the area around the Earth Arch?
The general was a little chagrined, still careless and too gullible towards these barbarians. No matter how far behind they were, they were still sheltered by the gods.
At that moment, a fellow commander with a team next to him arrived as well, and laughed out loud at the general’s team’s woes.
“It seems that the honour of breaking the city is not destined to belong to you.”
“Usually, it’s better to train your troops properly, don’t think about giving gifts and feasts everywhere all day long, that’s the general’s duty.”
The other party was conspiratorial for a while.
The general’s face was a little hard to see.
Shortly after, watching this fellow soldier hesitantly lead a charge, then being killed by the blue-skinned people and holding his head back, made the general feel a lot better.
After some more time, the third legion also arrived, and although the three parties together killed a few of the blueskins, they were still unable to break through the defences.
The bluepeople fought valiantly, conveying an unmistakable determination.
This road will not work.
However, the generals were not in a hurry, once the Sand Lizard Legion from the rear arrived, they were able to use their giant crossbows to carry out a long-range bombardment, and the Blue Skinned Men could not keep this arch of land.
And in the face of such a strong enemy, His Majesty the Emperor, who is the Chief Apostle, should arrive in person, and then it won’t be a problem.
Massive battles, cessation of arrogance.
The generals reorganised their soldiers, set up camp and patiently waited for the Empire’s subsequent orders.
……
The entrance of the Corruptor Legion immediately stabilised the battle line.
But a full-scale counterattack still needed an opportunity.
Lu Yao could see very clearly that the densely packed Bully Locusts had already arrived at the Glass God Realm and began to sweep through the farmlands and woods in great numbers.
He was in no hurry.
Let the swarm fly a little longer.
