Chapter 1657: Chapter 531: If You Can’t Beat Fan Mao, Why Not Fight the Plant Legion?
"Based on my current encounters, those Insect Clan members seem to be evolving mainly towards long-range capabilities, without any significant qualitative changes.
However, we can’t be entirely sure.
Because the current warfare is all about long-range bombardment, even if there’s any special evolution, it’s barely noticeable—under the ship cannon, everyone is equal... well, insects are equal.
Moreover, even those ultra-long-range attacks, when mixed with regular artillery fire, strike the Joint Shield, making it impossible to discern their specific power, so we can’t confirm the extent of their evolution.
Thinking about it this way, indeed, even I have somewhat neglected the evolution of these Insect Clan members..."
Realizing her underestimation of those Insect Clan, Bai Yi’s expression gradually became serious.
The so-called underestimation of the enemy only occurs when one is unaware of it.
She has always considered herself familiar with these Insect Clan, viewing them as an ultimate degraded version of her Insect Clan, never paying much attention to their strength and changes.
She is confident that no matter how much they evolve and strengthen, they are far from the level of her own Insect Clan and can be easily dealt with.
And isn’t this the image her Insect Swarm has created in front of the Three Great Civilizations?
Even if they evolve and display greater strength, they still make the Three Great Civilizations underestimate them, considering them manageable targets.
This tactic she herself has employed, and she knows very well its effects and potential consequences.
Although those Believers may not have intentions similar to hers, having discovered this, how could she allow herself to remain unaware of these Insect Clan?
Besides, while these Insect Clan might pose no threat to her, now facing them is the fleet of the Three Great Civilizations.
The Insect Clan that pose no threat to her could very well have evolved to threaten the Three Great Civilizations.
If this truly changes the state of the war, that would be unfavorable.
Whether for her own curiosity or to ensure the war continues smoothly, she now has a compelling reason to investigate.
"Looks like I indeed need to investigate thoroughly...
According to recent intelligence, it seems we can now roughly confirm the existence of at least three different types of Insect Clan.
But based on previous deductions, the actual number might be much greater.
Conservatively estimated, there are at least more than ten types.
The reproduction of these Insect Clan heavily depends on the Mother Insect, and the essence of their evolution is also the evolution of the Mother Insect. At least it can be confirmed that Insect Clan evolving in the same direction should gather together.
Let’s start investigating from every battlefield where Insect Clan have appeared!"
Setting her goal, Bai Yi first looked up at the observation window at the front of the main control cabin.
In the battlefield she was on, there were appearances of the Insect Clan!
And as for the method of investigation, was there anything simpler for her than capturing one and bringing it back?
"Notify the Radiant Civilization for me, say there’s a need for investigation, organize some high-tier powerhouses to launch a raid with me, and ask them to arrange corresponding cover to create an opportunity.
I need some samples to analyze, tell them that, and the Radiant Civilization will figure something out."
Turning to instruct her witch, Bai Yi’s voice suddenly paused.
"Right, the President promised to provide assistance and as much cooperation as possible, so maybe we can directly make some arrangements, deliberately create a special environment, and have them try to cooperate.
Just say it’s to capture Insect Swarm samples, the President wouldn’t possibly refuse.
Or rather, even if he does refuse, it would reveal a lot..."
Bai Yi squinted her eyes with a smile, this plan was indeed feasible, but for now, she’ll pass.
This kind of thing needs to be set up in advance, create enough coincidences, so it won’t be too obvious, making the process reasonable.
She wants to secretly probe, it has to seem like an accidental suggestion, without letting the President sense any probing intent.
Soon, one of the surrounding witches relayed the response.
"Your Highness, the Radiant Civilization has already replied agreeing to this operation.
You are invited to their flagship to discuss the details."
"Very well, draft a plan for me, create a scenario that necessitates the use of large-scale Space Ability by the Radiant Civilization, the reason will be the capture of Insect Swarm!
I will proceed there first."
Leaving the planning to the witch, Bai Yi turned and fixed her gaze in one direction, teleporting out of the warship.
Full-scale war had been ongoing for quite some time, and she had entered the Radiant Civilization’s flagship several times by now.
Unlike the distinctly styled flagships of the other two civilizations, the Radiant Civilization’s flagship emphasized practicality above all.
Externally unremarkable, it resembled a massive artificial satellite, with a thick cylindrical creation as its main body, surrounded by numerous other compartments encircling it in a circular pattern on the cylinder.
But the internal technology had its nuances, having seen more than once the device amplifying forces of the Transcendent, which, when boosted by a Transcendent’s Magic Power, could make the warship unleash different types of enhancements.
Even she was quite envious of such technology.
Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, she hadn’t had the chance to access it yet.
"This is really an amazing technology, completely unlike ordinary technology, it’s of the kind that becomes more grand and complex.
But I have to say, it’s truly effective, I’d love to take it all back..."
Sitting on the Tree-man, Bai Yi curiously surveyed every corner of the warship, not concealing her thoughts.
