Chapter 180: Un-Bee-table Defenses
Belissar watched as the denizens of his Tower prepared themselves for another fight. The burning soldiers gathered by the shortcut to the new Lava Field, the soldier bee army assembled in the sky of the battle meadow. Beero and her battlecasters practiced their dances while bumblebees helped the wounded soldiers to their platforms. The Second of the Sixth arrived early this time, leading the first medicinal soldiers Belissar had ever seen. They hung around at the rear of the soldier bee army rather than integrating into it. The karnuq arrived as well, setting their new shields down in a wall of iron before the battle meadow’s entrance.
With everything ready, Belissar triggered the daily purification.
Just a minute or two later, a bird shade tried to hop over a pit, got doused by the Sticky Honey Trap aimed over it, and fell down inside. Belissar shrugged.
“Fell into a pit again, everyone.”
The bees danced among themselves and this time it was the burning soldier squad that flew into the Dirt Tunnels with the digging soldiers leading the way. The burning hives had been growing all the while and raising more and more soldiers, including a sprayer. The sprayer stopped just before the pit and unleashed her Fire mana-imbued toxic spray.
The entire pit burst into flames as the Fire mana toxins contacted the mana rich honey. And just like that, the purification was over.
After the usual celebration, Belissar gathered with the queens and karnuq leaders once again. He had more than enough DP for another shop purchase. Beyond that, however, they had started gathering after every daily purification even when he didn’t have a purchase to make, just so that everyone could touch base and have a chance to speak.
“How’s everyone doing? Anything we should talk about?”
Chief Rohsuak nodded to Belissar’s surprise. Once he finished jumping, he nodded to her.
