I can find treasures in my dreams.

Just as the first batch of Great Xia troops swiftly entered the spatial labyrinth.

The Pioneer Alliance held an emergency online meeting.

"Boom! Boom!"

Alliance Chairman Yu Changlong tapped the small wooden hammer a few times and said, "You should all already know about the matter of the Northern Island of Sangzhou Kingdom."

He was originally the Great Xia representative at the global network conference, but after the collapse of the Gameni Federation, he was appointed as the chairman of the alliance, which was considered a promotion.

The number of member countries that have joined the Pioneer Alliance has soared to as many as 186.

The first batch of member countries paid a seat fee of 1000 billion yen, and the seat fee for the fourth batch of member countries later rose to 4000 billion yen.

The seat fee has now skyrocketed to 8000 billion yen, yet many countries are still gritting their teeth and paying this huge sum.

After all, everyone in Canglan knows that as Canglan enters its gliding phase, the world is becoming increasingly dangerous, as evidenced by the recent global floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.

Therefore, the 8000 billion Xia Yuan was not just buying a member state qualification, but also the security guarantee promised by Great Xia.

Yu Changlong bluntly stated: "To be honest, the fact that Daxia took over Beidao and then Beidao underwent spatial fusion is not a coincidence."

The phrase "not by chance" was deliberately emphasized.

A noticeable commotion instantly erupted in the online meeting room.

Yu Changlong continued, "Daxia is fulfilling its solemn security commitment to the Pioneer Alliance through its actions."

"If the Great Xia had not taken over the North Island, then hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of Black Sand Sea Poison Ants would have entered Azure Star in a large-scale invasion."

"These terrifying monsters will set off from the North Island and swarm to appear all over the world, and even the South Jingzhou, North Jingzhou, and Yanzhou will not be spared."

"Don't doubt that poisonous ants can cross vast oceans; their flying ability far exceeds the imagination of the Azure People..."

Speaking of it.

The meeting window changed, and a video appeared.

The main character in the video is a bright red ant-like monster with a thick carapace all over its body and two pairs of large, thin membrane wings on its back.

It crawled rapidly across the sand, moving at a speed almost like a car speeding at 80 miles per hour.

It climbed over a sand dune, suddenly flapped its wings and took flight, instantly becoming a blur before disappearing into the vast sandstorm.

This is the end.

The image froze.

Although the video is only a dozen seconds long, it perfectly demonstrates the high-speed movement of this poisonous ant.

Yu Changlong said at the right moment: "These poisonous ants are called 'flying fire ants'. Their flight speed can reach more than 600 kilometers per hour, which is not much slower than that of a commercial airliner."

"Flying fire ants also have the habit of migrating. Every few primordial years, they will undertake a long-distance migration, which can be tens of thousands of kilometers or even hundreds of thousands of kilometers."

The chairman shrugged and said bluntly, "I just saw some representatives from Nanjing Prefecture smiling. Can you still smile now?"

The representatives who were called all lowered their heads.

Yu Changlong said loudly, "This dimensional fusion is expected to last for about a month. This is a disaster for the entire Azure Star, and all countries in the world should face it together."

"On behalf of Great Xia, I propose that each member state of the Pioneer Alliance should dispatch a division of troops to support North Island within 24 hours."

"In addition, each country should prepare a reserve division, ready to go to the war at any time."

"All armed forces of the alliance are under the unified command of the command headquarters established by Great Xia on the front line of North Island."

Yu Changlong looked around and asked, "Does anyone have any opinions?"

Even a fool could see that Chairman Yu's repeated "suggestions" were, in reality, a forced requirement.

The Great Xia mobilized a massive military force of 2 million people, yet you can't even spare 200. If you encounter natural disasters in the future, don't expect the Great Xia to help you.

"I agree!"

"I support!"

Representatives from various countries expressed their views.

Representatives from most countries were willing to send troops to provide support, but some discordant notes emerged during the meeting.

One representative looked troubled: "Your Excellency Chairman, our country has a population of just over 1600 million, and the pressure on our national defense is enormous. It is really difficult to spare 2 troops."

This person comes from the Principality of Ronia, which was originally a member of the Southern Cross Alliance. Now the alliance is fragmented, and some countries have applied to join the Pioneer Alliance in order to find a backer.

The meeting room fell silent immediately.

Yu Changlong frowned and slowly said, "Mr. Hart, the war that is about to take place on North Island will be the first time that the Azure People have officially faced the monsters of the Primordial World."

"The Great Xia military is willing to promise all countries that during the month-long North Island War, the Great Xia army will definitely be at the forefront of the battle."

"Wherever the battlefield is most dangerous, there you will surely see the soldiers of Great Xia. Great Xia will never treat the armies of other countries as cannon fodder."

"We don't know how many Black Sand Sea ants will appear, nor do we know how powerful they are, so we fully anticipate the brutality of the war."

"After discussion, the leaders of Great Xia drew a line for the North Island War: as long as the number of casualties of Great Xia soldiers is within 50, it is an acceptable number."

After Yu Changlong finished speaking, he shut his mouth.

On the surface, not a single word of these words seems to relate to Hart's question, but in reality, they have perfectly answered it.

Representatives from various countries then began to speak.

“Mr. Hart, you should know that there is an old saying in Great Xia: ‘When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.’ The North Island War is a war for all Canglan people; no country can stand aside.”

“Mr. Hart, armies from all countries are willing to go to North Island to fight, but your army is hiding in the rear. I think this is a shameful act.”

"As far as I know, the Duchy of Ronia currently has an army of 50. Great Xia has shown leadership by being willing to sacrifice 50 people for the North Island War, but your country can't even spare 2 troops?"

"If Mr. Hart believes that his country's army is insufficient, then it would be more reasonable to conscript more troops rather than to shirk the responsibilities that the Duchy of Ronia should bear."

Faced with the overwhelming accusations, Mr. Hart was so frightened that he slid to his knees at lightning speed: "Chairman, the Principality of Ronia is willing to fulfill its responsibilities, and our country will send the troops to the North Island as quickly as possible."

Yu Changlong nodded in satisfaction: "Welcome to the Principality of Ronia to join the ranks of those defending Azure Star."

The chairman suddenly changed the subject: "Everyone, the North Island War is not only a crisis, but also a rare strategic opportunity."

"Because many materials on the poisonous ants are of very high value, and in the past, it was quite troublesome for the exploration teams of the Pioneer Alliance to enter the Death Black Sand Sea to find poisonous ants."

"Now that the poisonous ants have taken the initiative to enter Azure Star, isn't this a valuable opportunity to obtain primordial materials?"

A noticeable commotion broke out in the web conference room.

Representatives from various countries, out of habit, were terrified of natural disasters, but now they realized that war is not necessarily a bad thing.

Hart, the representative of the Duchy of Ronia, felt immense regret for his earlier words of excuse.

Even a fool could tell that his country had lost a lot of points at the conference, and most of the spoils would likely be withheld.

Worst of all, no country will speak up for them then. Hart stared at Chairman Yu, inwardly cursing, "The Great Xia people are truly cunning!"

He immediately understood that the Great Xia people had deliberately brought up the topic of sending troops first, and only then brought up the topic of the distribution of spoils.

When the various countries first saw that the Great Xia was willing to send 200 million troops, they were naturally happy to see it happen, but in reality, they had jumped into a huge pit.

The more troops they mobilized, the more spoils they obtained, and the Xia people easily took the biggest piece of the pie.

Yu Changlong smiled and said, "Regarding the distribution of spoils of war, in principle, the spoils of war obtained by each country's army shall be handled by each country itself."

"If the spoils of war are obtained through the cooperation of the armies of multiple countries, the countries can negotiate the distribution themselves, or they can ask Great Xia to help with the distribution."

One representative couldn't help but interject: "Your Excellency Chairman, our country is willing to contribute more to the North Island War. We can send five divisions."

This guy clearly saw the benefits, which is why he took the initiative to propose sending more troops.

Yu Changlong politely but firmly refused the request: "Mr. Mike, North Island is not large enough to accommodate too many troops."

The Great Xia was willing to concede some of its benefits, partly to take care of the member states of the Pioneer Alliance. After all, who would want to work with you if there were no benefits?

On the other hand, the armies of various countries are only willing to fight hard because of the substantial benefits they can gain, so they are less likely to engage in passive or war-avoiding behavior.

He previously said he "would not use the armies of other countries as cannon fodder," but if the armies of other countries are willing to be cannon fodder, Great Xia cannot stop them.

As the chairman, Yu Changlong's resolute refusal silenced the representatives from various countries, and no one dared to raise the request to send more troops.

After all, the representatives knew that this world had long since become the stage for the Great Xia people.

Going against the Xia people will definitely end badly.

North Island.

A spatial maze.

The so-called "maze" is essentially a series of interconnected spatial islands.

Xiao Ya and the World Tree sapling were responsible for building the space island, which Yang Fan managed to turn into a maze.

The two of them, along with Yishu, built more than three hundred space islands, creating a rather complex spatial maze.

Under normal circumstances, even if Xiaoya and Xiaocang give it their all, it would be difficult to achieve this.

However, the merging of planes has made space extremely unstable, making it much easier to divide space and create space islands.

At this time, the vanguard of the Great Xia army had already attempted to enter a space island.

The space island is not empty; it is a mountain range in the northeastern part of the North Island, covering an area of ​​approximately 600 square kilometers, roughly equivalent to the area of ​​a county.

This area is a volcanic active zone, where a small volcano is constantly emitting thick smoke, but no lava is flowing out.

"Whoo~"

Accompanied by a slight whistling sound of airflow.

A standard formation of six Azure Eagles flew into the space island, creating large ripples in its wake.

The ripples disappeared quickly, indicating that the formation had fully entered the space island.

The squadron commander, Lieutenant Colonel Gong Shicheng, said with a serious expression, "Attention all crews, we have entered Theater 104. Please be ready to open fire at any time."

This officer was somewhat well-known in the army because a few years ago he had worked with Mr. Raven to hunt a cunning mutant field mouse and had witnessed Mr. Raven's amazing performance.

At that time, Gong Shicheng was serving in the Sharp Blade Special Forces in Linjiang City with the rank of captain. Later, when the army wanted to form a group of elite troops to fight against mutated creatures, Gong Shicheng took the initiative to apply for transfer to the army. His rank was gradually promoted to lieutenant colonel, and he entered the ranks of senior officers.

Of course, his experience of "working with Mr. Raven" played a key role in his rapid promotion.

Lieutenant Colonel Gong further warned, "We are not dealing with mutated creatures from Azure Star, but with far more dangerous primordial monsters. Any negligence could have fatal consequences."

"Yes!"

"understand!"

A response immediately rang out on the channel.

Gong Shicheng glanced at the field of vision of the smart tactical helmet and carefully observed the three-dimensional holographic terrain map.

After observing for a while, the lieutenant colonel had an idea and decisively ordered, "Kong Bo, release a few whistleblower drones to patrol the woods I marked on the map with my helmet."

The Great Xia military is equipped with two types of exoskeletons: the Tiangong series and the Zhanbi series. The latter is a simplified version of the former, mainly removing the mechanical arm and some high-cost components.

Firstly, this is to control costs. Great Xia currently has an army of 3000 million, and equipping them all with Tiangong exoskeletons is simply unaffordable. Secondly, ordinary soldiers do not have high mental strength, so operating the mechanical arms is a bit difficult.

Kong Bo responded, "Yes!"

He then asked a question with some doubt: "Lieutenant Colonel, I just scanned the woods with paranormal spectral radar, and there were no suspicious signals."

Gong Shicheng frowned and said, "I have worked with Mr. Lingya many times before. What impressed me most about Mr. Lingya is that he always makes the most thorough preparations."

"While hyperspectral radar can detect mutated monsters on Azure Star, it may not be able to detect the poisonous ants of the primordial world. You'd better always remember that it's better to be safe than sorry!"

Kong Bo muttered to himself, "He keeps saying 'I've worked with Mr. Lingya' all the time," and replied aloud, "I understand!"

He connected to four pigeon drones via a metal neural link and controlled them to fly towards the woods from different directions.

The whistle-pigeon drone resembles a pigeon, but is smaller than a regular pigeon, yet has a maximum range of over 80 kilometers.

"Goo~"

As the homing pigeon flew, it emitted extremely realistic pigeon coos.

The supernatural spectrum simulator built into the abdomen released real life fluctuations.

In my supernatural perception, it looked very much like a live pigeon.

This is precisely the greatest advantage of whistling pigeons.

Incidentally, the Whistleblower drone is also a product of Tianzhengxing Company, which is under Yang Fan's name.

Zenith Corporation focuses on small drones. It recently gained fame with its mosquito-hunting drone and has now developed the whistle-pigeon drone.

The Xia military was impressed by the performance of the homing pigeons and purchased ten million of them in one go, which were widely used for various battlefield reconnaissance missions.

soon.

Several whistling pigeons flew over the woods and began to circle around them.

Kong Bo observed for a while and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, it seems like there's something in the woods..."

The words are not finished yet.

His expression suddenly changed: "A signal from a homing pigeon has been lost."

The homing pigeon was still flying in the sky, but the signal inexplicably dropped, which was obviously a big problem.

Gong Shicheng was startled and roared, "Fire!" (End of Chapter)
