[You have disrupted the stability of nature; Insect Swarm activity in the current area has intensified]

[Triggered Event: Call of the Shadows (Rank 1)]

[Discovered new Insect Swarm species: Nature Race]

[Obtained Achievement: Destroying the Environment is Everyone's Responsibility, command points +2000]

As the giant tree fell, a series of achievements popped up, which surprised Su Yang.

Could it be that the Tyranid Brood Mother was symbiotic with this giant tree, and the tree was the Tyranid Brood Mother itself?

As the giant tree collapsed, the remaining Insect Swarm immediately fell into chaos.

The Crossbowmen unleashed full firepower, spending another ten minutes or so finishing off the remaining poisonous bugs.

The poisonous mist drifted upward and quickly dissipated into the fog above.

The battle ended, and just as the divination had predicted, it was a bit difficult, but victory was achievable.

Moreover, even the debuff provided was utilized perfectly.

Su Yang was very satisfied with the accuracy of the Astrology Tower; it was much more accurate than the blind fortune-telling on the side of the road.

As for the reason this battle was difficult, it was mainly because the Imperial Armor Troops lacked protective measures against poison.

Even while wearing steel Imperial Armor, the soldiers still needed to breathe.

The poisonous mist contained in the air could not be defended against by the Imperial Armor.

Su Yang envisioned two methods to deal with the poisonous mist.

One was to use medicine to enhance the soldiers' Physique or provide resistance to relevant toxins, turning them into monsters like General Meng Tian.

The other was to equip the Imperial Armor with protective gear like gas masks, which could isolate various toxic substances.

The poison this time was not too strong; after quickly leaving the range of the poisonous mist, there would only be some lingering mental fatigue.

If he continued to venture deeper into the Shadow Zone in the future, he would definitely encounter species with stronger toxicity.

At that time, without protection against poisonous mist, the front-line Armored Elite Soldiers would be unable to fight against the Insect Swarm at all.

Although there were setbacks, Su Yang was very satisfied with the loot this time.

The command points from killing enemies were 32,900, which reached 42,700 after the bonus.

The first battle in the new area yielded a significant reward.

It was certain that the Shadow Zone, like the crystal mining area to the north, was also a high-Rank Insect Swarm area.

Exploring these two areas would definitely bring many unexpected gains.

Aside from the loot, the most important gain from this battle was the edible fruit.

Even without planting it, transporting this entire patch back could solve the territory's food storage problem for half a month.

If he could develop reasonable planting techniques in the future, the value brought by these fruits would be even more staggering.

Su Yang ordered the soldiers to load the fruits onto the black iron chariot.

The exploration of the Shadow Zone for today ended here; continuing deeper would involve too many variables.

While the loading was underway, the Lords Hall opened, and Su Yang opened the Lords Hall to check as usual.

After the last battle, the hostile and friendly relationships between the various Alliances were further determined, which led to a significant decrease in the activity level of the Lords Hall.

Everyone was afraid that speaking in the hall would expose relevant information, of course, except for certain people.

[Lord of Spain: "My God, who knows what is going on!"]

["My soldiers are all in the territory and haven't gone out to fight, but the threat Rank has actually increased by 1 today!"]

["Does the threat Rank automatically increase over time? This isn't scientific!"]

[US Lord: "Oh, it seems Brother Su Yang is about to meet up with you."]

[Lord of Spain: "Ah? What does that mean?"]

[Lord of England: "Stop talking, private message!"]

Su Yang's eyes flickered; it seemed he had already entered the Insect Swarm area where Spain was located.

This was good news; allies meeting would undoubtedly provide a lot of help.

Although the help provided by Spain would certainly be limited.

This guy still hadn't figured out that the mysterious person at the Heart of the Hive was him.

And he had even blurted out the news of his approach in the Lords Hall.

This way, other lords could roughly calculate his current exploration range, which counted as exposing a piece of information that was neither too big nor too small.

If it weren't for the fact that they were allies, Su Yang would have already planned to wipe him out first.

A message flashed; the Lord of England established an England Alliance group chat independent of the Lords Hall.

After entering the stage of fighting for supremacy, the chat methods provided by the System to everyone were no longer limited to the Lords Hall and private messages.

If necessary, each lord could arbitrarily select targets to start a group chat.

[Lord of England: "Leader Tang Ji, you are forbidden from speaking in the Lords Hall from now on."]

[Lord of Spain: "Ah, why!"]

[Lord of England: "The one who descended at the Heart of the Hive with you is Su Yang; you have already exposed his current exploration range."]

[Lord of Spain: "Ah, the one with me at the Heart of the Hive is Big Brother? How is that possible! If it were Big Brother, he would have come to save me long ago!"]

Sigh, Su Yang was embarrassed; maybe he should just wipe this guy out.

[Lord of Dragon Kingdom: "Describe the terrain and landscape around your territory; I will send troops to scout."]

[Lord of Spain: "Ah! Big Brother, is it really you? Why didn't you say so earlier? My God, the hard days are finally over!"]

If he had said so earlier, that would have been fine, Su Yang raised an eyebrow.

But whether your hard days are over or not is still hard to say.

Su Yang sending troops over certainly wasn't to act as a nanny for free; he had his eyes on Spain's production resources.

Although Spain could not provide military help, their production facilities were very valuable.

At that time, he would directly adopt a colonial strategy: I will provide you with protection, and you will provide me with cheap labor and various resources.

The Old Ancestors of Spain certainly would never have imagined that Spain, which once had colonies all over the Blue Planet, would one day be colonized by others!

[Lord of Spain: "My place is a depression, surrounded by dense forests on all sides, and I haven't explored any further than that; I don't dare to go out at all!"]

Su Yang smiled; he was still in the most ordinary dense forest area. It seemed this kid really didn't dare to step out of his territory even one step.

It was a pity that Spain didn't have a closed-door policy; otherwise, it would have been perfect for him to use.

[Lord of Dragon Kingdom: "Can you see fog in the sky?"]

[Lord of Spain: "Yes, yes, there is an area in the northeast corner that is always shrouded in fog!"]

If it was indeed the same Shadow Zone, then Spain should still be in the southwest direction.

Su Yang quickly determined the area of Spain in his mind.

The territory of Great Qin could finally expand!
