Chapter 409: Chapter 218 Queen! I’m Not a Bug Anymore! (6k)_4

Once all these Tier Six are completely cleared out, the remaining soldiers are nothing more than grains of sand on an hourglass to the insect swarm. As time passes, they will eventually be wiped clean.

Unlike magical beasts, the insect swarm can transform the corpses of fallen soldiers into nutrients to replenish themselves!

It might be difficult to spot them in the night sky.

Though the insect swarm fighting outside still seems like the original batch, they have actually swapped out within the short half-hour since the war began.

This time, there are a full 300,000 swarms in battle, divided by Little Tower into three groups: one main fighting group, and two reserve groups waiting for rotation.

Considering the swarm’s current output levels, solely relying on magic power consumption would not hold out for this long.

Moreover, although those soldiers on the ground are targets for the swarm to slaughter, given their vast numbers in the millions, and hidden martial artists among them, some severe injuries have still occurred.

Even if other swarms rescue them to spare their lives, they need to rotate back to recuperate.

With the insect swarm’s mobile capabilities and macro allocation under the cover of night, such rotations are hard for outsiders to notice.

This rotation system, coupled with the swarm’s formidable life force, creates an endless sea of insects from the perspective of the empire’s side.

300,000 seem to fight as though they are much more.

Even though those Tier Six magical beasts held the upper hand earlier and slaughtered a batch of insects, it still seems like a negligible fraction given the number.

In large-scale wars, unless possessing overwhelming combat power, an individual’s strength barely makes any decisive impact.

Even if one can easily excel, the personal consumption is substantial.

Moreover, due to the swarm’s life force, the cost needed to eliminate them is even more daunting.

The empire’s side, lacking effective replenishing methods, facing such an efficient rotation supply mechanism, is doomed to be consumed to death.

The swarm’s updates to its strategic mindset merely accelerated this progression.

It can be said that the Demon Beast Minister’s idea was destined to be meaningless from the start.

In contrast, the swarm originally needed to exhaust the magic power of the Tier Six magical beasts due to insufficient strength.

Now, with the swarm achieving self-segmentation through metalization, this time-consuming tactic is no longer necessary.

On the other hand, those contractors, due to their isolated fights, have been suppressed by the swarm without causing much turmoil.

The remaining ordinary soldiers signal victory for the swarm!

With the death of the first Tier Six magical beast, the battle line composed of these battling Tier Six magical beasts quickly began to collapse.

Though scattered contractors weren’t killed by the swarm due to Bai Yi’s instructions, they were consumed one by one by the Burrowing Worms after being sufficiently weakened.

Only ordinary soldiers, blindly following the crowd, remain unaware of the situation, sending themselves to the swarm’s slaughter.

The battle outcome is already predestined; however, this war doesn’t signify the end but rather the beginning of an imperial invasion.

But that is beyond Bai Yi’s concern.

This war has already decided the future trajectory of this world; the swarm’s march is unstoppable henceforth.

The consciousness concerned with the battlefield has also returned from the noisy, bloody scene to the silence and tranquility of the camp.

"Unexpectedly, the war over here is done, yet my laboratory hasn’t completed its relocation...

Oh well, let’s consider it as taking a break.

Since entering the instance, with several avatars outside, the concept of time was difficult to adjust; this body hasn’t rested in days.

Yes, after separating the souls of all captured contractors and starting their conversion, I’ll take a good day’s rest."

This battle almost "rounded up" all of Paradise’s contractors.

Even if some of the knowledge among them might conflict, these known pieces of information are already a considerable gain, enough to digest for some time.

Especially the Undead Mage, who was swiftly brought back by the swarm after capture, having been returned to the camp by now.

The other contractors are also on their way back soon, arriving shortly.

Just as Bai Yi was about to inspect the Undead Mage and prepare the conversion process, sudden news arrived from outside the camp.

It was from a contractor, bringing people to negotiate.

The message was straightforward, just one sentence:

"O stranger Lord, I’ve come to negotiate terms with you!"

"Interesting..."

Demon Ancestor Inscription: An ancient stone stele, vaguely identifiable with ancient magical beast text, "Ascension is a lie! The Upper Realm Witch feasts on our clan’s genius, serving her emperor! Don’t ascend! Don’t ascend! Don’t ascend!" Unfortunately, few in the demon clan can recognize this script nowadays...

[Note: But, Lord Shang Ji, if this stele gets discovered, won’t it cause trouble? Why deliberately preserve it?]

[Note on the note: No worries, as this way, it provides the "protagonist" with the reality, fueling growth motivation. Only the enriched seasoned filling can become high-end delicacies. If once the protagonist leaves the world, they are no longer the "protagonist"...]
