The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen

Chapter 125: Chapter 41 Bai Sheng: Two-Day Conquest of Crete!

"Minister Yuan, if we mobilize all the factories Zhuchen currently possesses, how many bullets and shells can we produce? And how many various types of weapons do we currently have in the national treasury?"

Zhu Gang looked towards Bai Yi’s direction, but his query was directed at a somewhat corpulent middle-aged man standing behind Bai Yi.

Bai Yi remembered that Yin Hai had mentioned him before; he is the Minister responsible for production and storage in Zhuchen.

"Your Majesty, if we enter war mode, Zhuchen can produce over ten thousand standard shells daily, and ten times more bullets.

In the treasury, there are cannons..."

This Minister Yuan proficiently listed a string of data that somewhat relieved everyone in the grand hall.

With this data as their confidence, everyone felt that even these seemingly terrifying swarms were not invincible. The strategy against the Insect Swarm was hence set:

— That is war.

With this fundamental strategy in place, everyone began to discuss Zhuchen’s various plans and policies during the war, one after another. In the end, Zhu Gang made the final decision and started assigning tasks to everyone.

Even Bai Yi, who had been silent all along, was not left out and was entrusted with tasks regarding the research of new potions and new food crops before everyone dispersed.

After returning to his residence, Bai Yi couldn’t wait to lift the orange cat in front of him and "interrogate" it:

"Ju, did you always know that they had already flattened Emilia?"

The orange cat looked puzzled but still responded:

"Meow? Of course, the cat knew."

"Then why didn’t you tell me? As the queen of the Insect Swarm, am I the last to know?"

"But didn’t you say to let them handle it? Plus, the cat always thought you knew."

The orange cat said it as if it were natural, making Bai Yi feel even more foolish.

"Forget it, that’s not the point.

They just said they plan to organize a counterattack, right? I’m thinking, if we deliberately use those needle erosion insects to stage a play, letting them think they ’barely’ won against the Insect Swarm.

Then, right before we prepare to leave, we’ll call out the entire swarm and put on a big show!

My plan is like this..."

......

The next day, with the Emperor officially announcing that Zhuchen has entered a state of war, the entire Imperial Palace entered a tense atmosphere.

However, all this had nothing to do with Bai Yi.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Bai Yi returned to his own small courtyard, waiting for the maid to deliver two wooden boxes.

These were two relics that Bai Yi had requested from Yin Hai.

The reason Bai Yi gave was for cultivating research on extraordinary plants for potions, and Yin Hai gladly fetched them from the basement of Zhuchen Court for Bai Yi.

Taking out the two relics, in Bai Yi’s mind emerged their corresponding abilities.

Both relics were Level 4 extraordinary, able to adjust the density of spiritual power within a certain area to weaken enemies and enhance oneself.

However, apart from these were some "dark type" spells, which to Bai Yi, seemed more like corrosion and melting of substances.

However, Bai Yi was only interested in their ability to control spiritual power density.

Holding the two relics, he walked to two trees that had already been prepared, burying the relics under their roots.

Based on the experiences summarized over the past few days, although plants could directly fuse with high-tier relics, there was still a significant risk of explosion.

Relatively speaking, starting from low-tier and gradually fusing step by step would significantly increase the success rate, which could even reach 100% if combined with a ritual!

However, there were no prerequisite low-tier relics and corresponding rituals for these two extraordinary plants, making it impossible to cultivate them from a low-tier stage.

If directly fused with the relics, large plants like trees had much better adaptability to the relics compared to herbaceous and vine plants.

This seems to be more related to size rather than species, but currently, the number of experimental samples Bai Yi had was still not voluminous enough to firmly establish this rule.

And these two, were small peach trees grown from two peach seeds Bai Yi picked from the fruit in the meal. Under the nourishment of superpower, their size had already surpassed Bai Yi.

To increase the success rate, Bai Yi also integrated adaptability and autonomous growth into them, then forcefully raised their level using magic power.

With these foundations set, the likelihood of successful fusion had significantly increased.

After confirming everything was correct, Bai Yi activated his superpower and began to induce the growth of the two peach trees, coordinating with their fusion to the relic.

Maybe it was because Bai Yi’s preparation was comprehensive, or perhaps it was just sheer luck, but this time both peach trees achieved transcendence.

However, Bai Yi noticed from his panel that the extraordinary abilities obtained by the two peach trees were starkly different.

One emphasized the accumulation of spiritual power and magic power, greatly improving the concentration of surrounding magic power and spiritual power, and it could also condense fruits that had effects of restoring magic power and spiritual power.

The other focused on another ability inherited from the relic, capable of actively casting a spell named Dark Corrosion on nearby enemies.

The effect was roughly equivalent to being sprayed with Poison Blood by an Erosion Worm, but as a spell, it could be neutralized by consuming a certain amount of magic power or spiritual power.

What excited Bai Yi the most was that part of the abilities of these two peaches could be extracted through gene extraction with corresponding entries.

The former obtained another entry overlying Gathering Spirit, named Spirit Power Vortex.

The latter provided an entry named Spiritual Power Corrosion, which could add a new function to its secretions to erode spiritual power and magic power.

Extracting these two entries brought him one step closer to completing the Tree-man.

However, to achieve the Tree-man, there were numerous genes required for integration into gingko; taking advantage of the abundant magic power available, Bai Yi started by integrating some.

After a quick calculation in his mind, it would take about two days to completely integrate the gingko.

Sun Church Court, Capital Sheen, Ruins

"Acting?"

Bai Sheng, upon hearing the plan recounted by the orange cat, although somewhat puzzled, was ultimately following Bai Yi’s command.

Wasn’t her meaning to fulfill Bai Yi’s ideas?

Moreover, the needle erosion insects arranged by Bai Yi were only for logistics and didn’t affect her subsequent plans to push forward towards Crete, therefore no change to the plan was necessary.

As for those fungus blankets, the main nutrients and flesh had already been harvested and stored; although the remaining fungus blankets still produced some output, the quantity was small and even if entirely eradicated, it wouldn’t be a loss.

Furthermore, whether the people of Zhuchen could destroy those fungus blankets with the abilities cultivated by her master was still questionable.

With this thought, Bai Sheng began to refine Bai Yi’s simple plan in detail, making adjustments and passing the tasks through the Swarm Network to various fungus blanket farms.

Having ensured there were no significant flaws in the plan, Bai Sheng began contemplating the next move.

Just now, the last settlement within the territory of Sun Church Court had been overtaken by the Insect Swarm, transformed into a fungus blanket farm for Insect Swarm, officially erasing the name of Sun Church Court.

While the current number of Insect Swarm was just over one hundred thousand, if one included the accumulated flesh and nutrients from the fungus blankets, the number of Insects could explode to nearly three hundred thousand!

Coupling that with a group of Transcendent Worms, Bai Sheng even felt she currently had the power to wage war on two countries simultaneously!

However, to be prudent, Bai Sheng decided to stick to the original plan and conquer the Crete Republic first!

Looking back at the maps hanging on the wall of the room, which had followed Bai Sheng in the conquest of two countries, she quickly calculated the distance from here to Crete.

With the speed of the Insect Swarm, converting all the reserved flesh and nutrients into Combat Power would allow them to reach the border of Crete by tonight.

It was a perfect timing to initiate the attack tonight!

With the current strength of the Insect Swarm, she conservatively estimated that it would only take two days to seize this nation!

Having confirmed the battle plan, Bai Sheng commanded through the Swarm Network:

"The Insect Swarm starts full-scale reproduction, arrive at the Crete border before sunset today! For the queen!"

"For the queen!"

"Flat Peach": Although it doesn’t require the legendary nine thousand years to bear fruit, its taste is still exceedingly exquisite and praised. Containing an extremely abundant amount of magic power, just one can fully replenish the Magic Power Value of a Level 3 Mage...
