67: The Forest Empire convoy arrives
Meanwhile, the King of the Magical Beast Empire, upon receiving this shocking news, was naturally ecstatic.
“Hahaha, with our two empires united and working together, how will your Blue Star Troops ever break through?!”
The King of the Magical Beast Empire laughed wildly, even becoming somewhat overconfident, thinking of directly counterattacking the Blue Star Troops, reclaiming all the lost cities, and showing the Chaos Empire, who had surrendered, what true strength was!
As for the Merman Empire, it maintained its usual attitude of being oblivious to outside affairs, minding its own business.
After all, they reasoned that no matter which side ultimately won, they didn't seem to face much of a threat.
If the Magical Beast Empire and its allies won, they would naturally remain one of the Five Great Empires, with their status secure. Even if the Blue Star Troops won, at worst, they would just abandon their interests on land.
Surely the Blue Star Troops couldn't dive into the sea as freely as the merfolk to attack them, could they?
…On the other side, at the outskirts of Adi Forest, the Forest Empire’s massive caravan, after a long journey, finally arrived.
“Is this where the Blue Star Troops are located?”
The Queen of the Forest looked at the lush trees around her, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, her heart full of doubt.
After all, no matter how she looked at it, this didn't resemble a Blue Star Troops' encampment. There wasn't even a single person, let alone any signs of activity.
Unbeknownst to them, a reconnaissance plane on a mission, flying a kilometer above them, spotted their presence.
This reconnaissance plane had been performing routine flights around Adi Forest and happened to discover the Forest Empire’s caravan.
“Report, this is Reconnaissance Plane Three. We’ve discovered a Squad of what appears to be… Forest Empire personnel. Requesting ground troop support!”
The reconnaissance officer on the plane quickly reported the situation.
“Received!”
A concise reply came from the other end of the communicator.
As for how the reconnaissance plane identified them as the Forest Empire’s team… the reason was simple: the Queen of the Forest had conspicuously displayed her empire’s distinctive flag on her carriage.
Just as the Queen of the Forest was about to proceed deeper into the forest, striking red laser beams suddenly shot out from the trees, precisely targeting everyone from the Forest Empire.
Especially the Queen of the Forest; her body was densely covered with red laser dots, clearly marking her as a priority target.
“Danger! Protect Her Majesty the Queen!”
Seeing the dire situation, the Guards behind her were frantic, preparing to rush forward without hesitation to shield the Queen of the Forest with their bodies.
However, before they could act, a bullet whizzed past, accurately striking the ground at their feet and kicking up a cloud of dust.
“Stop, don’t move…”
As the gunshot rang out, the Queen of the Forest quickly waved her hand, stopping the eager Guards behind her.
Upon the Queen of the Forest’s command, despite their anxiety, the Guards could only stand still, unmoving. The group watched the trees with tense expressions.
A short while later, a group of Blue Star Soldiers, clad in advanced special equipment, slowly emerged from the forest with steady steps.
Of course, the lasers from their weapons remained precisely aimed at everyone. If anyone from the Forest Empire dared to make any rash moves, they would absolutely show no mercy or leniency.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?”
One of the Blue Star Soldiers asked in a serious tone.
“Hello, I am the Queen of the Forest Empire. I have come here on behalf of the Forest Empire to surrender to your esteemed side. These supplies, which I heard your side has been collecting, have been specially brought over.”
Hearing this, the Queen of the Forest dared not delay, quickly answering and urgently explaining her intentions.
As for these supplies, the Queen of the Forest had heard about them before. It was said that the Blue Star Troops had been continuously collecting various data and precious magic scrolls, among other things.
To fully express her sincerity, she had specially prepared a full caravan of supplies for this visit.
“Surrender?”
Hearing the Queen of the Forest’s words, the Blue Star Soldier was slightly stunned, clearly somewhat surprised, and then quickly used the communication device to relay the message to headquarters.
“Report, this is Adi Forest Outskirts Squad Two. We have successfully intercepted the intruders. One of them claims to be the Queen of the Forest Empire and has come on behalf of the Forest Empire to surrender. Please await instructions from the Command Center.”
Upon witnessing this, the Forest Empire group’s hearts collectively leaped into their throats. They nervously watched the Blue Star Soldier, knowing that the instructions he was about to receive would directly determine their survival.
After a short while, the Blue Star Soldier nodded repeatedly, seemingly having received orders from his superior.
Suddenly, the Blue Star Soldier cast his gaze towards the Queen of the Forest. Seeing this, the Queen of the Forest gripped her hands tightly, her knuckles turning white from extreme tension, and cold sweat uncontrollably streamed down her face.
She was terrified that the Blue Star Troops would reject their request for surrender.
“The higher-ups have agreed to your request. Please follow me…”
The Blue Star Soldier slowly said.
As he spoke, the Soldiers slowly lowered their weapons, and the laser dots aimed at everyone naturally disappeared.
This allowed the tightly strung nerves of the Queen of the Forest and her group to finally relax a bit, and they couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
