Transcendent Noble - Chapter 884
Nelson and his party trudged for more than 30 days and finally reached the first assembly point at the southern end of the azolta mountains. Dozens of three-level blood militia have emerged from the corner. They are fully armed and have been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the two of them clearly, bertina, with sharp eyes, could not help waving her small hands to them and cheerfully shouted, “Renault, shack, I’m here, I’m bell… Do you still know me when I grow tall?”
“Miss bell, we know you.” Renault and shack led all the alchemical militia and took the lead in saluting bertina.
Since bertina untied the memory crystal of the mist mountain alchemist, she somehow became the inspection envoy of the alchemy empire. In the eyes of the alchemy militia, Bell’s status is now second only to the master Victor, and she has secondary authority over all alchemy creatures, including but not limited to the alchemy creatures made by Alchemy tower 7.
Even if Lord Nelson and Lady Charlotte ranked higher than bertina in the Randall family, Renault and shack greeted bertina first.
Of course, members of the Randall family understand this as Renault and shack’s preference for bell. Anyway, as a “group pet”, bertina is given preferential treatment. It is common for everyone to think about the meaning behind this detail.
When we met in the wild, Lord Nelson, who was born as a mercenary, didn’t pay attention to the family etiquette system. He strode forward, patted Renault and shack on the shoulder, smiled affectionately and said, “old man, I almost thought I couldn’t see you.”
Renault also smiled and said, “Lord, we have followed our master for more than half a year and have not encountered any danger.”
As the earliest pioneer of Randall’s leadership, Nelson is very close to the alchemy militia such as Renault and shack, but he doesn’t know Renault. In fact, they have been reshaped by the alchemy tower and are no longer the original old guys.
During this expedition, the alchemy unit brought by Victor suffered heavy casualties. They died either in the battle of the temple or in underground tunnels. At present, there are only less than 70 of the more than 200 alchemy militia, but it is precisely because of the desperate cover of the alchemy militia that Nelson and his people have survived until now, and no one has died.
Nelson felt heartfelt happy to see Renault and shack safe and sound. But before he could say a few more words, Mei Wen, the Dragon maid, said coldly, “the Ant King is still behind us. Now is not the time for you to talk nonsense… Renault, shack, take Miss bell to the riverside camp… I will take over the rest, as well as Mr. imosen’s dissimilated violent bear. First lead the pursuers away, and then go to support the king.”
Nelson’s face suddenly changed. As a ferocious warrior of the golden order, he can feel the danger from behind all the time. The war Ant King led thousands of soldier ants to follow Randall’s expedition, more than 400 kilometers away from each other. In just one day, the Ant King and his ant army can appear in front of the expedition.
This ant tribe is equivalent to the close guard army of the war Ant King. There are a large number of high ant tribes and Golden Shield beetles, which are particularly powerful. If Randall’s expedition chose to fight, no matter what tactics they adopted, the whole army would be destroyed. Even if you choose to escape, I’m afraid it’s difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the war Ant King.
If you fight, you can’t fight; Now the only way is to lead the pursuers away. Otherwise, once the war Ant King finds the boarding point of Randall’s expedition, everything will be over.
Dragon maid Mei Wen is not only responsible for leading away the war Ant King, but also supporting victor. With the speed of the Aaron Ripper, she can easily get rid of the war Ant King, but what should the other junior soul warriors do?
The physique of these elite soldiers is comparable to that of bronze knights. Their physical fitness is particularly excellent, but their running speed is very average. Nelson knew very well that they were actually performing a mortal task, acting as bait to lead away the enemy instead of the core members of the family and help the expedition escape safely, just like those blood soldiers who died in temples and underground pits.
At the moment, everyone’s expression is particularly dignified. Bertina, holding her white wood staff, looked left and then again. She wisely chose to close her lips and tried to show her seriousness.
Nelson was upset, but he also knew that the sacrifice of elite soldiers was inevitable. However, he was more concerned about the safety of the family Lord, and secretly decided to follow them and meet victor.
After Meiwen, the Dragon maid, led the team to leave, no one could restrain Nelson and Caligula, the two top fierce soldiers. But how could Victor not have considered this?
Mei Wen sends a message to her master through spiritual connection and tells Victor that the expedition team has joined up with the alchemy militia and is ready to implement the next plan. Around her, the air was surging, vibrating the air, and Victor’s voice came out:
“Nelson, you and Caligula are responsible for protecting the expedition, going to the designated assembly point, and then following the arrangement of Dili, the Dragon maid, board the ship and evacuate… This is my order to you!”
“My Lord! My lord…”
Nelson was surprised and delighted. He shouted several times, but he didn’t get a response from victor.
“My king has no time to talk to you now, and I have no time… Commander Nelson, carry out the king’s order and take them out of here quickly.”
Mei Wen didn’t make any unnecessary explanation, left the people behind, turned and went straight to Grossman’s Mother Ann behind the team, and whispered to her in an ancient language that everyone couldn’t understand.
Knight Charlotte looked at Mei Wen’s slender figure, sighed faintly, turned to Nelson and said, “Lord, we can’t live up to our master’s expectations.”
Nelson nodded and said simply, “Renault, shack, you lead the way, let’s go!”
At the southern end of the azolta mountains, the mountains tend to be gentle, but for ordinary people, it is still a magnificent mountain. Against the backdrop of mountains, Nelson and his party are as small as ants. The rocks exposed to the air are reddish brown with no grass on the surface. People walking on them can effectively hide their footprints.
The team continued to move southward along the edge of the mountain. They lined up in a straight line on the rugged mountain road. Nelson, Renault and shack walked in the front. The three spell casters were in the middle of the team, and Caligula was in charge of the rear of the hall. They walked until evening, when the sun completely sank to the west of the mountain, and the whole team was shrouded in the shadow of the mountain.
Renault stopped first, pointed to the front and said, “around the mountain depression, there is a lake formed by mountains and streams. The area is very large, but the water is not deep. We can wade through it. In this way, our last traces can be submerged by the lake. When we wade through the lake, find a place to go ashore, and then enter the forest belt to hide our traces.”
“OK.” Nelson nodded, turned and shouted, “there’s a lake ahead. Let’s go and have a rest!”
When they heard that they could rest immediately, they were all in high spirits and accelerated the March. To bypass the front of the depression, a long strip-shaped Lake appeared in front of the expedition.
Blood Python Marcy took off her boots, went barefoot into the lake, tried the water, turned back and said, “the water is very clean, but it’s a little cold, but it’s tolerable… Bell sweetheart, I’ll take you there.”
Bertina first wrinkled her nose, then raised her little baby fat chin and snorted, “aka is the tallest. I sit on his shoulder… Aka, come on! Eh, aka, where are you?”
A mountain wind blew, and no one answered Bell’s call. Everyone found out that Caligula was gone!
With Caligula’s strength, he can’t lose the team or disappear for no reason.
There is no doubt that his highness Randall’s most valued squire has left the team and quietly ran to support his master.
**********************
At the same time, the heroic figure of the war Ant King taurminos, like a giant rhinoceros, appeared where the expedition was separated from the Dragon maid. More than a dozen white beetle ants around it spread out automatically and carefully investigated the surrounding traces.
A moment later, a high guard ant returned and reported to the war Ant King: “Wang, bertina’s team is now divided into two teams, moving in two different directions. One team crosses the mountain and runs to the West; the other team continues to go south. We don’t know which team bertina is in. However, we can only track the team heading west now, because the giant violent bear leaves obvious claw marks. While the team heading south has only slight claw marks Human footprints, before long, those human footprints may disappear. If we track them, it will be easy to lose them. ”
Taorminos didn’t speak. The red light in his crystal eyes flickered. His mood was not as calm as it seemed.
A few days ago, the war Ant King received a summons from the ant colony master, asking him to take half of his troops back to the temple nest immediately. But taurminos did not follow the master’s call, but chose to continue to follow bertina’s team.
Taorminos didn’t know why he disobeyed her Majesty’s will. He just had a vague feeling. At this time, he should stay away from the azolta temple, or he might die in the hands of his highness Randall like the former Ant King apolis.
In fact, in the depths of taurminos’ instinct, he had an idea that he could not even think of. He vaguely felt that the ant colony master was in great trouble and expected his highness Randall to kill him.
Of course, taorminos’ reason is reminding himself that this is impossible. The ant queen has gone beyond the life category of the higher ant tribe, at least the great existence that taorminos cannot understand and cannot be eliminated.
Obey the will of the master, lead the guard soldiers and ants, return to the temple nest, surround the terrible demigod, and may be killed by the demigod. But if you disobey the orders of the ant queen, you will be torn to pieces by the ant colony. It’s just a matter of time.
No ant tribe can be separated from the power network of the ant colony, and the war Ant King is no exception. In fact, taurminos has a very strong sense of dependence and belonging to the colony, and this unique emotion always restricts its cognition and behavior.
From the fear of death to the call of the ant colony, taorminos fell into an inner struggle, as if the whole soul had been torn to pieces. He didn’t know what to do. He simply disconnected the psionic connection, separated from the other guard soldiers and ants, and took only a dozen higher guard ants to catch up with Randall’s expedition first. It seemed as long as he continued to follow the tracking instructions previously given by the ant queen So, it’s not betraying the whole ant colony.
Due to the active cutting off of the psychic network with the guard soldier ants, the war Ant King taurminos is in the weakest period. He can not even communicate with the higher guard ants around him through spiritual connection. He can only communicate with each other by speaking. His perception has also fallen to a low point.
“Wang, look! Gross worm mother is installed on it!” A male white beetle ant man found an anomaly on the mountain wall before taorminos.
Gross worm mother’s huge and bulky body, covered with shadows, stood quietly on the hillside, like a huge black rock, showing a heavy sense of oppression. More than a dozen higher guard ants immediately dispersed and took the initiative to surround the past. The compound eyes of the insect mother’s head flashed faint light, and strange purple lines lit up on the shell full of bone spikes. Several invisible power fluctuations swept the whole field. The higher guard ants with a life level close to the gold level could not withstand the power impact from the insect mother gross. They fell one by one on the hillside and fainted.
Taurminos turned to mother gross, strode his strong limbs and walked slowly. More than 200 meters away from the other side, it stopped moving, raised its head and said, “Ann, you are not good at fighting. If the master didn’t order me not to hurt you for the time being, I would kill you now.”
The war Ant King is born with the status of a legendary creature. Even if taorminos is at the lowest point, it is not an opponent that gross worm mother can defeat with its own ability.
Ann stared at taurminos for a moment and said without emotion: “The lower Zerg cannot fight against the higher Zerg. This is the law order of the swarm. Even if the higher guard ants are better at fighting than me, once they leave your psionic network, they have no resistance to my psionic will. I stun them and just hope to avoid the surveillance of the master and have a secret communication with the Ant King.”
Taorminos asked warily, “what do you want to talk about?”
“… the truth.”
“The truth? What truth?”
Gross worm Mother Ann said: “we are the same level of intelligent Zerg, and you should feel… The true face of the ant queen, who is not the real master of the swarm.”
Taorminos asked, “isn’t the queen the master? Is your humble exile mother the master of the ant colony?” As he spoke, he strode forward, smashed the rocks on the ground with the soles of his feet covering his shell, and made an attack posture.
Ann responded faintly: “I once absolutely obeyed the will of the queen ant man. You and the former Ant King apolis absolutely can’t understand the mental state of the high guard ant. Just as I am a guard ant, I can’t understand apolis’s behavior of disobeying the Queen’s orders. That’s because the war Ant King is higher and stronger than the white nail ant family, and can slightly resist the will of the queen ant man.”
“Until the queen kicked me out of the psionic network of the ant colony, I became an exiled Zerg and untied the shackles of my heart. His highness Randall helped me recognize myself and see the truth.”
Of course, the war Ant King won’t scold Grossman as a traitor like humans, but he stopped approaching and stayed where he was. He was very interested in understanding the demigod’s views on ant colony and domination.
Ann continued: “I drank the source blood spring in the secret land of Assyria and promoted the mother of the Gros bug. I found that there was an upper limit on the number of Zerg I could reproduce, which would not exceed 8000. Before that, his highness Randall pointed out to me that the Gros Zerg is not the Gros Zerg in ancient times, and the scale of the swarm is smaller and more flexible. The ant colony controlled by the queen of the ant man is too large, which is not surprising It conforms to the natural rules. His highness Randall also said that each queen ant is actually an independent swarm, but they are controlled by the queen ant man and integrated into a super large population. ”
“Taurminos, the queen ant doesn’t care about me, the mother of the little gross swarm, but he will pay attention to you, the war Ant King. You are still restricted by the ant colony psionic network. Under the control of the queen ant, you can’t accept the truth I see, nor will you admit that the queen ant is actually a fake ant colony master. I only explain two points to you…”
“First, his highness Randall, the demigod, is about to attack the queen ant man. Just like he killed the black blood master, the queen ant man can’t escape from his highness Randall. You just have to wait patiently for a few days. When the queen ant man falls, you can see the truth without me telling you.”
“The second is the distance… His highness Randall came here a few months ago. He captured several termites who followed him and used them to measure the effective distance of the queen ant to control the ant colony. The farther the higher ant tribe is from the temple nest, the weaker the queen ant’s control over them. If the distance is more than 13000 kilometers, the spiritual connection between the queen ant and the higher ant tribe will be interrupted The ant tribe will only be constrained by their instinctive emotions and carry out the last instructions of the ant queen. ”
“I believe you have felt that the queen ant man’s control over you has become very weak. It is precisely because of the distance limit that he needs the war Ant King to command the ant army to attack the human kingdom in the Far East.”
“I suggest you don’t track bertina. It will only annoy the demigod Lord Randall. If you have any questions… I’m going to a place right away and wait for his highness Randall. That position is beyond the control of the ant queen over the high ant tribe. You can follow me far away. I’ll choose the right time and ask his highness Randall to answer your questions…”
As she spoke, gross moved her sharp limbs and quickly backed back. Her huge and bulky figure soon disappeared on the other side of the ridge.
*******************
In Victor’s view, the war Ant King teminos is a major hidden danger.
He sealed the main will of the queen ant man. According to reason, the whole ant colony will become fragmented in a few years, but the war Ant King can replace the queen ant man to a certain extent and become the new master of the ant family.
In fact, the expansion of ant colony led by the war Ant King was originally an initial setting of the queen ant alchemy tower. Unfortunately, the queen ant man replaced the spirit of the queen ant alchemy tower and used the war Ant King as a tool. This man-made contradiction has become a loophole that Victor can take advantage of.
The war Ant King has an instinctive desire to dominate the ant tribe, so the ant queen must guard against taurminos rather than regard it as an heir. Otherwise, the queen ant chose to protect taurminos. Even if Victor successfully sealed the subject consciousness of the queen ant, the large ant tribe is still a whole.
This is undoubtedly the worst situation. Even Victor’s risk of sealing the ant queen will become meaningless.
Therefore, Victor had to seal the ant queen first, and then kill taurminos. His plan to disintegrate the ant tribe from within was a success.
Victor plans to use gross insect Mother Ann to lure the war Ant King to the designated place. When he solves the ant queen first, he will kill taorminos.
Of course, Victor knew that there were limits to his ability, and he couldn’t do everything. If taurminos had not fallen into the deadly trap, Victor would rather go to the oak prairie to join the ant advance corps than return to the ant master’s nest in the Assyrian temple.
After all, azolta temple is the rear and birthplace of ant colony. It is a very difficult task for anyone to destroy a war Ant King in the nest of ant colony. In contrast, it is easy to hunt down the war Ant King on the oak prairie.
First seal the ant queen Angelina, and then kill the war Ant King taorminos. The remaining queen ants will inevitably fall into endless internal friction, and the threat posed by the ant army to the kingdom of Gambis will naturally disappear.
In any case, Victor revealed to the war Ant King taurminos that he was about to attack the queen ant man through Grossi insect Mother Ann.
In order to prevent the possibility that taurminos informs the ant queen, the time for Victor and the ant queen to have a showdown with each other is imminent!
