As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared beyond the treetops of Grass Leaf Forest, the night unfolded like a vast black velvet curtain, studded with countless twinkling stars that resembled a multitude of watchful eyes, observing every breath of this ancient forest. Amidst this tranquility, a large group of figures was silently soaring towards Grass Leaf Forest, their delicate wings shimmering under the starlight—these were Hua Hua and the Crimson Eye Bee Special Forces. While Xiao Zhuzi and his companions were making their way towards Baihua Island, Hua Hua and the Crimson Eye Bee Special Forces were also nearing Grass Leaf Forest.
In the Council Square of Grass Leaf Forest, located at the heart of the entire forest, there was an air of tension and anticipation. Mr. Hummingbird and several leaders from his Hummingbird Air Combat Team, Goliath and his deputy, as well as the leaders of the Ladybug Intelligence Team and Ant Logistics Team were quietly waiting for the arrival of the Crimson Eye Bee Special Forces.
As a buzzing sound grew louder from afar, the figures of the Crimson Eye Bee Special Forces gradually came into focus, drawing all eyes in the square towards these new allies. Hua Hua was the first to reach the edge of the square and called out loudly, “Reporting! Intelligence Officer Hua Hua has returned! I have successfully completed my mission and brought the Crimson Eye Bee Special Forces back to Grass Leaf Forest!”
Mr. Hummingbird approached Hua Hua and gently patted her shoulder. “Well done! Intelligence Officer Hua Hua! You’ve worked hard! I heard from Captain Goliath that you were injured before; how is your condition now?”
“Reporting to Mr. Hummingbird, my injury has healed, and I am ready for battle at any time!”
Mr. Hummingbird nodded with a smile and then flew over to Captain Chi Ying, the leader of the Crimson Eye Bee Special Forces. This renowned special forces leader was a true warrior, known for his exceptional combat skills, strict discipline, and quick response capabilities. It was also Captain Chi Ying’s first time meeting Mr. Hummingbird; he had heard many stories about him—a distinguished scholar who stepped forward without hesitation to organize a coalition army in defense of their homeland when it was under threat—a truly remarkable individual!
The two leaders shook hands firmly in mutual respect. Mr. Hummingbird spoke in a deep voice: “Captain Chi Ying, on behalf of all residents of Grass Leaf Forest, I extend our sincerest gratitude for your arrival along with the Crimson Eye Bee Special Forces. Your strength will be our most valuable support in this battle concerning the fate of our homeland.”
Captain Chi Ying responded succinctly yet powerfully: “We, the Crimson Eye Bee Special Forces, will always fight for justice!” Everyone present felt a surge of determination upon hearing these words. On this night, there were no grand speeches or exaggerated ceremonies—only the unwavering light of courage in the eyes of warriors.
Soon after, key members of the Rebel Alliance joined Captain Chi Ying at their secret base—the Great Tree Hollow—an extremely concealed tree hollow where rare bioluminescent mushrooms emitted a soft yellow-green glow, perfect for daily meetings and strategic discussions at this moment.
Captain Chi Ying spoke first: “Time is tight; let’s skip pleasantries and get straight to the point. Before we set off, Dragonfly Elder proposed his strategic ideas; I’ll summarize them briefly for discussion.” Seeing Mr. Hummingbird nod slightly, Captain Chi Ying continued, “Dragonfly Elder’s strategic plan consists of three steps. First, we will adopt a strategy to lure the enemy into our pre-set ambush; next, we will effectively disperse their forces for targeted attacks; finally, we will concentrate all our strength to completely eliminate any remaining enemy forces. The key to this strategy lies in how we lure them in; Dragonfly Elder suggests fully exploiting Giant Moth's weakness—Insect Eggs. We need to organize a Daredevil Squad to infiltrate their lair, steal Giant Moth's Insect Eggs, and scatter them in strategic locations favorable for ambush.”
After Captain Chi Ying finished speaking, he noticed Mr. Hummingbird, Captain Goliath, and the Intelligence Team leader exchanging knowing smiles. Mr. Hummingbird chuckled: “Haha! It seems great minds think alike! I didn’t expect Dragonfly Elder’s idea would align so well with ours!”
Cai Yi, leader of the Ladybug Intelligence Team—small in stature but commanding in presence—added: “Through our long-term reconnaissance, we found that Giant Moths are highly sensitive to light and strong odors; that’s why they build their nests in the northern part of Grass Leaf Forest surrounded by wetlands where vegetation is sparse and terrain is flat with ample light—an environment unsuitable for ambush operations. Therefore, two weeks ago, I initially discussed using Insect Eggs to lure them with Mr. Hummingbird and Captain Goliath. Our Intelligence Team has conducted a series of targeted reconnaissance operations and identified storage locations for Insect Eggs within Giant Moth Nest. However, we currently face difficulties as Giant Moths place great importance on Insect Eggs and guard them very closely.”
“Very good!” Captain Chi Ying was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the Rebel Alliance had acted; he excitedly said, “I’ll take charge of arranging the task to steal Insect Eggs—we Crimson Eye Bee Special Forces have rich combat experience; I’ll select several elite members skilled in stealth operations to form the Daredevil Squad.”
“I agree,” Captain Goliath concurred. “While exploiting enemy weaknesses is essential, we must also leverage our own strengths. Our Spider Guerrilla Team will set traps and ambush points throughout the forest while ensuring that we firmly guard several entrances to Grass Leaf Forest so that when we eliminate any remaining enemies, nothing slips through.”
Next up is discussing strategic locations for setting up ambushes.
