Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Counter-Decapitation Operation
The strongest places are often also the greatest fatal weaknesses; the human brain controls all actions, and an army's command center directs hundreds of thousands of troops. Just a single bullet or a shell can bring down a person or paralyze an army.
Therefore, for Suming's side, the most dangerous and weakest link was actually Suming himself, as the commanding officer.
If the Indigenous Alliance Army was just a bit smarter and directly sent hundreds of thousands of bees to attack Suming himself, Suming wouldn't even have a chance to escape and would immediately be dead as a doornail. Even if the Indigenous Alliance Army wasn't smart enough to think of a decapitation strategy, just like today, with random attacks and a small portion of bees swarming, it was enough trouble for Suming!
"Mother..." The thought of being stung by hundreds of thousands of bees made Suming's skin crawl, and he shivered involuntarily.
"Mother... Mother..."
"So itchy... So itchy..."
The Diamond Parrot not only mimicked speech but also imitated Suming's shivering motion, convincingly trembling a few times while squawking strangely and shaking its feathers. A number of dead bees were sandwiched in its feathers, and they fell like rain showering a large swath of bee corpses as it shook.
"Shut up, are you shaking fleas off!" Suming glared at them, and then his eyes rolled around aimlessly.
Actually, it wasn't entirely without a solution!
The greatest weakness of the Bee Allied Army was their low intelligence; so far, even after being defeated today, there was not the slightest indication that they would deploy their entire force. Hence, they were virtually incapacitating themselves, relinquishing their greatest advantage: numbers.
If Suming was willing to take it slowly, subduing a portion of the bees today, taking out a squad of the Alliance Army tomorrow, gradually wearing down the enemy's strength, the tide would turn in his favor, and he could eventually eliminate the Alliance Army.
The problem was that this approach was too time-consuming; it certainly couldn't be resolved within ten days or half a month. Suming had only taken a few days off, and he had brought out several protected animals from the zoo; if he didn't return after half a month, the zoo would surely file a missing report. The police, accompanied by sniffer dogs, would surely search the mountains, and it would be no good if they stumbled upon this place by mistake.
Not to mention anyone else, after being missing for over ten days, they would definitely notify my mother. My mother is already in poor health; she mustn't get so agitated that she passes away – that would mean gaining a wife while forgetting one's own mother...
Leaving the beehive forest where the Queen Bee's headquarters was located, Suming headed towards the depths of the valley with his three bodyguards. The Diamond Parrots, being too large, hardly flew and hopped along on either side, while Haidong Qing circled overhead, observing the overall situation.
Not far along the way, they neared the territory of the Allied Army, and just by looking from afar, Suming's heart skipped a beat!
It was a vast forest that was almost impossible to see across at first glance. Inside the forest, dense beehives hung like fruit on the branches. From a distance, the forest looked like a witch's dwelling in a magical world's Black Forest, completely shrouded in a black mist, swarming with countless bees.
"How many could there possibly be!" Suming's scalp tingled at the sight, and he didn't dare to get too close, but from such a distance, it was impossible to see where the Allied Army's Queen Bee was.
Fortunately, the world never lacked traitors. Suming lay in the bushes, controlled a few passing Indigenous Bees using spiritual power, and instructed them to scout the forest.
The forest was dozens of times larger than the small woodland where the Su Army was stationed, looking like a small forest itself. After the traitor bees flew in, they casually wandered around and only an hour later did they fly back, lazily.
Even so, they hadn't figured out the positions of all the Queen Bees, only finding four large beehives.
"Four is still four, one less for every one killed!"
Suming lay in the bushes, using a Diamond Parrot as a shield, and gave instructions to Haidong Qing, "Follow the guidance of the traitor bees to perform targeted strikes, behead the Queen Bee!"
The informant returned to the large wooded area and flew about twenty meters into the grove, finally stopping beneath an old elm tree!
On the branches of that elm tree, there hung a beehive the size of a basketball, twice as large as the others – clearly, a Queen Bee resided inside!
"Now's the moment, take it down!" Suming commanded Haidong Qing to carry out the beheading!
Haidong Qing let out a long cry, its wings clamped tightly against its back. It dived at a diagonal angle from mid-air like an arrow, fiercely plunging into the grove towards the large beehive!
