Martin Variety in American Comics.

Chapter 569 Opportunity (Please subscribe and read, and recommend with monthly tickets!)

"These little tricks won't work on me."

Martin flapped his wings, blowing away the black venom flying towards him, while simultaneously reaching out to grab Sazara's swung fist, blocking the immense force of the punch in mid-air.

Immediately, he slapped his stomach with his other two hands in turn, spitting out stingers that struck Sazara directly in the face.

He didn't hold back; his defense and counterattack were seamless, each move aimed at Sazara's weaknesses, with the intention of killing her.

Sazara's willingness to engage Martin in close combat was not due to being blinded by anger, nor was it out of arrogance.

As she moved, a large number of worker bees maintained an orderly array, surrounding her at the center of the array to protect her.

As she and Martin engaged in close combat, the worker bees followed her movements, all aiming their spears at Martin and continuously firing energy beams at him.

The energy beam generated by this biomass is only of average power, and there's nothing particularly interesting about repeating it.

If we had to pinpoint a particular characteristic, the most prominent would be the bee venom inherent in the bee species and their sheer numbers.

Sazara is the queen bee, but that doesn't mean she's immune to the energy beams shot from within bees. Her real strength lies in her bodysuit, which can defend against various energy attacks.

What about Martin?
His body today certainly couldn't withstand the attack of the energy beams.

However, he had a strong combat awareness. Even when the beams of light coming from all around were as dense as a rainstorm, he was able to find the gaps in these beams and move freely through them, while also blocking Sazara's attacks.

Sazara is indeed a queen; she is capable of deploying troops, controlling worker bees to create such a large hive, and controlling the surrounding creatures in various ways, but she has no talent in combat.

Even though Martin was surrounded by worker bees, Sazara still couldn't subdue him in hand-to-hand combat.

She relentlessly pursued Martin, flying and weaving through the energy beams, never even managing to touch his shadow, always several steps behind.

Beast Boy, who was battling the worker bees, Dick, who was looking for a sniping opportunity, and Vixen were all startled when they saw Martin surrounded by worker bees, and then reacted differently.

"I'll run you over and kill you all! Get out of my way!"

With a roar, the Beast Boy increased the firing rate of the shoulder cannon on his back, unleashing beams of energy that blasted all the annoying work into charcoal.

As the artillery bombarded him, he also used his legs to plow a deep groove in the ground, while simultaneously knocking away all the enemies who stood in his way.

"Martin is surrounded. We can no longer stand idly by. We must reach out and rescue him."

The vixen was very excited; she couldn't even imagine what might have happened to Martin while he was with them, or how the League would react.

Although she was a model working in the arts and culture scene in the past, due to her family background, she has always been very concerned about things in Africa.

After joining the Justice League, she put her modeling career behind her and focused on her job, wanting to create a better future for her chaotic hometown.

However, she hadn't shifted her mindset and still felt that people like Martin had the authority to act arbitrarily within the organization, failing to see that a relatively mature and well-established organizational structure had already been built.

It is precisely because the female fox failed to see this that she is so concerned about Martin's safety.

She felt that if something happened to Martin while she was around, it would affect the Justice League elders' opinion of her, leading them to consider her unreliable.

"Calm down, you're underestimating Martin. They're just a bunch of unintelligent bees, what can they do to him?"

After being outmaneuvered by Martin, Dick seemed to have attained enlightenment in Longchang, and his abilities in all aspects improved by leaps and bounds.

He rebuked the vixen for her impulsive behavior over the communication channel: "You don't need to worry about Martin's safety, because his orders to us are to find an opportunity to kill Sazara in one fell swoop and prevent her from diverting her power."

"All right!"

After being subtly reprimanded by Dick, the female fox regained her senses and ordered her team to lie in wait again.

What if this opportunity remains unchanged?

The vixen had not received any military training before joining the Justice League, so she did not have the same patience as Dick.

“Of course it’s a good thing. If this opportunity never comes, it means Martin has the whole situation under control and we don’t need to step in anymore.”

Dick was optimistic and had a clear understanding of the situation.

Sazara is clearly entangled with Martin and has no chance to break free.

Such people would never have the idea of ​​sacrificing themselves for the benefit of the group.

Therefore, as long as Sazara is held back by Martin and cannot leave, the core forces of Kolank will not leave.

The Justice League forces are launching a fierce offensive and will be able to surround the area in no time.

When that time comes, both Martin and the military will be able to deal with Sarah, this problem.

But this wasn't a Justice League tactics class, so Dick didn't explain much to Cigu. He simply ordered him to wait quietly for an opportunity and then fell silent.

……

"Boost!"

The observations made by Dick and Vixen's two squads were transmitted to headquarters via the network on their equipment, and then forwarded to Diana.

Diana then issued an order to speed up the assault.

She wasn't worried about Martin's safety. In her opinion, Sazara had nothing to offer. Although she was an alien, she was no different from any other superhuman.

However, she understood Martin's intention from this action: to keep the main force of Sazara's followers in Kranko and prevent them from joining Savage, so as not to affect the subsequent plans.

Sazara's abilities are average, but as the queen bee, she has the ability to build hives and rapidly produce troops using them.

Moreover, she can use the hive to modify the bodies and shapes of worker bees, turning them into various types of soldiers.

This ability is actually quite dangerous.

The Justice League's raid was successful because of its speed.

However, Savage couldn't replicate such a feat with his attacks, because his opponents weren't blind; they must have sensed the Justice League's arrival and were already prepared. At the final moment, Savage would undoubtedly unleash all his trump cards, and if combined with Sazara's massive troop-generating ability, the losses he inflicted on the Justice League were unpredictable.

With such a risk right in front of them, a general as outstanding as Diana would certainly not ignore it. So she made up her mind to cooperate with Martin and nip this risk in the bud.

"I have made progress on the task Martin gave me."

While Diana issued the order to speed up the assault, Martian Manhunter also devised a method to control the large number of worker bees inside Kolank.

"Although you cannot prepare the ritual in advance to amplify my mental power, the Alliance's Technology Department has developed a machine that can expand mental power."

"Although these machines do not extend over a large area, they can influence each other, creating an area within Kolank that isolates Sazara's commands and calms down these restless winds."

"Secondly, headquarters has also developed a pheromone that can prevent Sazara from issuing commands to worker bees using her queen status."

The reason Martian Manhunter was in such a hurry to report to Diana was not only because she was the overall commander of the battlefield, but more importantly because he needed the troops to distribute these things to the battlefield.

Although he could fly, one person's strength was ultimately insufficient. The various assault units, working together, were able to achieve their goals much faster.

"No problem. I'll notify the people at the front lines right now and have them cooperate with your operation."

Diana understood the Martian hunter's meaning and then issued another order.

She distributed the blueprints for the machine that would expand the reach of electricity marketing to various units, allowing them to build and install the machine on-site.

She transmitted the chemical formula that could cover the queen bee's pheromones to the heavy artillery unit's computers, instructing them to allocate a portion of their forces to load this chemical substance into artillery shells and fire them directly as the troops advanced.

You also received these orders from the airborne assault team, but they were flying in the sky and could only help after the Dren firepower strike was completed before they could switch to the new pheromone warfare equipment.

The heavy artillery units were even faster, and the Alliance headquarters not only developed the molecular formula but also manufactured the finished product.

Heavy artillery units can quickly produce large quantities of pheromones simply by following the same pattern, and then fill these pheromones into finished product molds to create new shells.

The rest is simple; all that's needed is to fire those shells.

The heavy artillery, which had been specially designated, did not follow the advance of the field troops, but instead began bombarding the borders of Kolank.

The shell roared out of the cannon and flew to the target in the blink of an eye.

This time, the Justice League's shells didn't land on the worker bee swarm; instead, they exploded in the sky, and green pheromones covered a vast area like a cloud, obscuring the sky.

Despite the breach in their defenses, the worker bees continued to obey Sazara's orders, trying to hold off the advancing coalition forces while chasing after those who had already broken through.

The result of this was that they gained nothing, and their meager forces appeared pitiful and pathetic in the face of the Justice League's attack.

Even so, these controlled worker bees continued to charge forward tirelessly, even though they had no idea what they were doing.

However, as the green pheromones in the sky began to sink, the worker bees on the front lines lost contact with the queen and began to wander around aimlessly like headless flies.

Upon receiving Diana's orders, the frontline troops used the printers that accompanied the troops to quickly assemble machines capable of amplifying psychic powers and install them in suitable locations.

The air force, seeing the slowly dissipating green pheromones, did not rush back. Instead of changing equipment at the makeshift airfield, they launched missiles, creating a downpour that accelerated the descent of the green pheromones.

At the same time, Martian Manhunter began to expand his psychic powers, like a lullaby, echoing among the installed instruments. Combined with the green pheromones falling with the heavy rain, it quickly put the outer worker bees to sleep, ensuring they could no longer attack anything or wander around.

These green pheromone molecules are actually extracted from the plants of Poison Ivy and Swamp Monster.

Poison Ivy has a very deep understanding of pheromones; if she had Kryptonite, she could even encounter Superman.

Swamp Monster's research institute reduced the danger of Poison Ivy's pheromones, since Poison Ivy's research was too crazy, and even after joining the Justice League, she didn't restrain herself much.

To prevent the unique chemical formula you provided from having a greater impact on these centimeter-sized people, the swamp monster remembered the factors that could cause uncontrollable risks.

In any case, the plan was a great success. The outer perimeter of Kolank's position has become completely quiet, and the worker bees covered by green raindrops have all fallen into a deep sleep.

Upon seeing this, the troops that were launching the assault noticed it and immediately recalled the cleanup troops, transforming them into a steel blade that charged forward relentlessly.

……

"I'm the one who has the upper hand now!"

Martin, who was dodging Sazara, suddenly stopped, grabbed Sazara's hands, and headbutted the queen bee directly on the head.

Click!

Martin's forehead instantly became covered in blood, but the helmet on Sadra's head also turned into fragments scattered all over the ground, and her eyes became somewhat unfocused due to dizziness.

The helmet shattered, and Sazara's long hair fell loose, but she was in a state of panic.

She understood what Martin meant, because he had lost his senses of the worker bees on the outer perimeter.

The Justice League has found a way to cut off my control over the bees.

damn it!
Sazara cursed inwardly, abandoning his plan to kill Martin and instead starting to think about how to leave this place.

Just as Martin and Dick had guessed, once Sazara had the idea of ​​leaving, she didn't even plan to take the worker bees she had carefully raised with her; she only planned to escape alone.

"It's too late, too late. Just as I told you at noon, you've lost your last chance to survive."

As Martin spoke, he suddenly kicked out, hitting Sazara squarely in the stomach.

The force of that kick was so great that even though Sazara was wearing a protective bodysuit, he still felt as if he were about to be hit by a speeding train. His internal organs seemed to have shifted, and his flesh felt like it had turned into a puddle of minced meat.

Seeing their queen attacked, the worker bees rushed toward Martin without hesitation, trying to rescue Sazara from him.

But before the worker bees could get close to Martin, Beast Bro rushed out, turned his shoulder cannons around, and generated a huge force that sucked all the bees in.

"goodbye!"
