In Demonic Ring City, a fleet took to the skies. The leading airship was a far cry from the slender shapes common to the Baltic airships. It had spiky masts that made it look like a flying beast. Anyone with a bit of knowledge would know that this was the flagship of First General Davelyn.
After receiving the report of the attack on Cape City, Davelyn immediately mobilized an army and set off. The garrison in Demonic Ring City was limited, and even she could only mobilize about ten thousand people at a time. Any more and she would have to recruit from other garrisons.
After Davelyn's ship took off, a few transport ships that looked like giant beasts followed suit, followed by a hundred or so frigates that acted as air escorts. These airships formed a fleet and pierced through the sky under the dense night sky.
In the command hall of the flagship, Davelyn had already donned her heavy and sinister-looking armor. She sat on the high seat and placed her hands on the spiky armrests. "What's the situation in Cape City?" she asked in a loud voice.
As soon as she finished speaking, a series of images appeared on the screen of the command hall. From these images, it wasn't hard to see that the entire city had been reduced to rubble, with flames and smoke everywhere. The huge bugs moved slowly through the city, their targets all the energy stations in the city. These bugs were absorbing the city's energy. It didn't look like they were simply eating, but converting it. After the energy passed through their bodies, it would be excreted in the form of crystals and then transported away by other bugs.
The most eye-catching thing in the city was the mountain-sized beehive. It was placed in the center of the city, and the buildings around it had already been demolished. The bugs had cleared out an empty space. There was a circle of strange things around them. They looked like pools, and there was liquid bubbling in them. The giant bees would bring the Baltic corpses and throw them into the pond. The corpses quickly sank. No one knew what they would become in the end, but Davelyn was sure it wouldn't be anything good. At this time, a batch of crystal-transporting bugs arrived near the beehive. A few layers of grids at the bottom of the beehive opened up for the bugs to enter.
Just then, a few giant bees on the ground flew up and rushed straight towards the camera. A moment later, the image disappeared. The scouting robots had probably been discovered and destroyed by the giant bees.
"General, they don't look like wild bugs."
General Ledo said with a frown.
Evelyn nodded. The special life form on Agares determined that the same species had great differences in appearance. Every species of insect like this had almost the same appearance. It was normal on other planets, but it was impossible to exist on Agares. Moreover, the division of labor of the insects was clear, and they cooperated seamlessly. It was not the instinct of the exotic beasts and insects on Agares. These insects were more like biological weapons. If they were weapons, then there would be a leader to coordinate their actions.
The Saber Demon General turned his gaze to the huge beehive.
More than an hour later, Davelyn who was seated in the command hall could already see the flames and smoke rising from Cape City through the tall porthole. Under the light of the fire, the Beehive was very conspicuous. It was already the tallest building in Cape City, it was hard to ignore it even if one wanted to.
Evelyn stood up and said, "You guys are in charge of cleaning up those bugs. I'm going to take a look inside."
Ledo agreed loudly.
Sensing that Evelyn's army was approaching aggressively, the swarm of bees hovering above the city began to move towards the fleet. From afar, it looked like a thick cloud rolling over. The warships escorting the fleet formed a formation to welcome them. Evelyn's ship also opened all the port exits. Warships rushed out of the ship and joined the battle formation in front of them to fight against the swarm of bees.
The ship activated its shield and all the weapon platforms entered a state of operation. A moment later, the fleet and the swarm of bees met in the air, and the sky was immediately filled with fireballs. The Great General's ship opened its full firepower and poured all of its artillery fire onto the swarm of bees. Especially the main cannon of the ship, it fired at a constant rate of one shot every five seconds. Every time the main cannon fired, a passage measured in kilometers would be opened up in the dense swarm of bees.
The fleet did not intend to tangle with the swarm of bees. Under the cover of the ship's firepower, the fleet had already advanced to the sky above Cape City. At this time, the transport ship began to descend. Hatches opened from the bottom of the hull, and then cylindrical emergency landing capsules were continuously thrown down. When these landing capsules approached the ground, they spat out lightning from the bottom to buffer them. As soon as they landed on the ground, the hatch opened and groups of Shadow Army warriors rushed out.
In the blink of an eye, the battle in the sky and on the ground had begun. The army led by Evelyn was powerful, and their equipment was not something the garrison of Cape City could compare to. After dropping the soldiers, a quad-axle tank was also thrown down from the transport ship. It provided cover for the ground forces and could also be used as a temporary cover when needed. The last few imperial generals also joined the battle, and a powerful aura immediately rose up in the city.
Just as the battle was getting intense, several combat airships flew out of the spaceport and flew toward the beehive. These airships immediately attracted the attention of the swarm of bees. A group of bees tried to intercept them but were broken through by the fierce cannonfire of the airships. At this time, the mesh-like passageway opened up, and a few squads of bees flew out to launch an even fiercer attack on the airships.
Evelyn was on the airship in the middle. She personally piloted the warship and blasted the dense swarm of bees in front of her. Under the cover of the surrounding wingmen, she charged out of the swarm of bees. However, her vision darkened. It turned out that the giant energy-absorbing insects had sprung up from the ground and opened their mouths to bite her airship. Evelyn pushed the control stick to the limit and the airship sped up. However, the giant insect still bit the tail and the airship was bitten into two. The tail exploded in the giant insect's mouth, and thick smoke and flames sprayed out from it. The front section was flung out. Evelyn used the emergency disembarkation device to eject from the cockpit. She immediately flew into the air, and dozens of giant bees immediately pounced toward her. Evelyn sneered and unsheathed her saber. An astonishing killing intent immediately appeared in the sky. As a few pitch-black saber arcs flickered, the giant bees were dismembered while they were still in the midst of pouncing.
Evelyn landed on the ground with her saber.
A tremor came from behind. Turning back, she saw that the giant insect that had bitten her airship was smashing toward her like a train. Evelyn turned around and raised her saber. Just as the giant insect was about to collide with her, she raised her saber and slashed it down. A tidal wave of saber light surged out and split the giant insect into two. The giant insect kept moving its feet on both sides. Although it had dismembered Evelyn, it still rushed for a distance before stopping. As a result, Evelyn stood between the two insect corpses. Only then did the insect's blood and organs desperately gush out of the corpse. Evelyn tapped her toes lightly and flew through the air. A moment later, the insect's blood surged past where she was standing, and wisps of green smoke rose into the air.
In midair, Evelyn locked onto a beehive passageway. He stretched out his hand and used his Origin Energy to strike the atmosphere, changing his trajectory and falling towards the passageway. The passageway had yet to open, but she turned a blind eye to it. Black Demon raised his hand and slashed, cutting open the outer wall of the passageway that was comparable to alloy armor. Evelyn rolled into the passageway and bounced up, just as a few giant bees pounced towards her. She raised Black Demon and slashed twice, turning these giant bees into flesh and blood on the ground. Only then did Evelyn stand up and step on the bee corpse with her iron boots as she headed deeper into the passageway.
After killing a few more giant bees along the way, Evelyn arrived at the end of the passageway. There was a flash of light in front of her. She was slightly on guard and walked out with her saber. After coming out, she adapted to the light outside the passageway and discovered that she had arrived inside the beehive. The interior of the beehive was actually hollow. It was a vast space. A deafening sound of wings flapping came from above. She raised her head and saw a swarm of bees gathering on the beehive. There were so many bees that they were innumerable and gathered like thick clouds. Just looking at them was enough to make one tremble with fear. Suddenly, a fluctuation swept across the swarm of bees. Then, the swarm of bees began to descend and surge towards Evelyn like a cloud of war.
Evelyn silently raised the mask of her helmet, leaving only her eyes. As a result, her entire body was wrapped in heavy armor. She squatted down and propped herself up with her long legs. She shot out diagonally like a cannonball towards the beehive. However, the void was quickly replaced by the swarm of bees. It turned out that she had already drilled into the swarm of bees. Looking up, a few giant bees pounced over. Evelyn slashed them open with her saber and stepped on the backs of the other giant bees at the same time. Just like that, she used the giant bees as a foothold and climbed up in the swarm. The thick cloud in the beehive roiled, and the corpses of giant bees continuously fell from the "cloud layer". Within the swarm, Evelyn's armor was already stained with bee blood. She kept looking up at the top of the beehive. There must be a leader behind the swarm of bees. Evelyn could sense its emotions. From the initial complacency, to the hesitation just now, and now to the fear. The leader of the insects was afraid. It had never expected Evelyn to be so troublesome. It was constantly issuing orders. This could be seen from the shrinking of the swarm. It hoped to overwhelm Evelyn with its advantage in numbers. Unfortunately, at her level of battle strength, she was no longer an opponent that could be overwhelmed with numbers.
The Black Demon Saber suddenly shook, and a sharp whistle immediately rang out in the beehive, like the roar of a Black Demon. A black saber gleam shot up from the swarm of bees and cut the cloud layer formed by the swarm into two. Countless giant bees exploded in the saber gleam. After the flying insect fragments, Evelyn saw it.
It was a huge but bloated insect. It was in the air above the beehive. Some root-like things formed a complex structure in the air above the beehive. The fat insect was among these root-like things. It had three pairs of transparent wings on its back. But the wings were so small that they looked ridiculous. Its head was especially large, almost as large as its body. There was a row of eyeballs on that chubby head, and at this moment, every eyeball was shooting out a terrified light.
