The general reorganized his troops and prepared to march to the coastal city of Ruluo Xizhou. General Stinger stepped forward, called out the sixty long-tailed bees, stood in a queue, and said: "You long-tailed bees have violated the Qin law in Qin, and are initially sentenced to death." First he faced the general, and then faced them , said: "The general has something to say to you." Then the general stood up and swore: "You violated Qin law in Qin land, and you will be sentenced to death according to Qin law. Your Majesty is kind and allows you to go out with the army and make up for your mistakes. If If you die fighting for the country, your family members will enjoy the state's salary and salary without having to pay hard labor like other family members who have made military exploits. Those who behead enemy generals will be knighted according to their military merits. They can be made sergeant-level officers and formally join the Qin army. Follow the general to make great achievements, do you hear clearly?" The sixty long-tailed bees shouted in unison: "Listen clearly." The general faced them and said: "Go with the army." The general gathered the army and sent out troops forever. city. After a motley army of 200,000 cockroaches accompanied the army, they marched outside the coastal city.

King Ruluo gathered his army and watched on the city wall to see what the enemy's movements were. The spider army weaved a large web on the city wall and waited for the enemy to attack. The army and the people defended the city together, and were prepared to face death. The long-tailed bees of the death row convicts who were more than sixty years old began to take off and attack the city. Each bee was issued a sword, fluttered its wings and flew towards the spider web on the city wall, and started a battle with the spider army. The huge web vibrated continuously. A miscellaneous army formed by cockroaches acted as the vanguard and began to attack the city. The wooden rolling stone fell down, and the blood collapsed. The front fell down and the back jumped up, rushed to the city gate to set up a ladder, and climbed up the city wall densely. The battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate. The Hornet Army flapped its wings and flew towards the spider web on the city wall. The spider web broke and fell. The motley army attacked the city wall, and a melee broke out on the city wall. The two armies were of equal strength and both suffered casualties.

The coastal city was about to be captured. King Ruluo Xi fled back to the palace and convened the ministers for discussion. The prince's division and the prince were among them, and they stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty." King Ruluo Xi faced the prince's division and said: "Sir, the capital is about to be captured. You'd better flee to Ruluo Nanzhou. The national strength of Ruluo Nanzhou is Strong, the enemy army has been weakening after a long battle, and they dare not invade Ruluo Nanzhou." The prince's division was worried about King Ruluo Xi, and said: "Your Majesty, you can escape with us to Ruluo Nanzhou." The King of the West refused and said: "I still have a city of people. If I escape to Ruluo Nanzhou, the people will suffer. If I stay, the people can still be saved." Then he took out a letter and said: "This is This is a letter written by Widow Ant to King Ruluo Nan. King Ruluo Nan will definitely take you in after seeing this letter." The Crown Prince accepted the letter, knelt down and stood up. "Sir," a voice came out. The red head walked in and knelt down and said, "Sir, you have saved my life. I am willing to follow you all my life." The prince's master helped the red head and said, "The Prime Minister is in danger. You can stay and protect the Prime Minister." ." Xiangguo stood up and said: "It has resigned from the title, so let it follow you. I have many followers, and they will protect me." The prince's master said goodbye and left.

The prince's division and his ants escaped from the north gate and recruited fishing boats to prepare to cross the sea. King Ruluo Xi looked at the departing figure of the prince's master, turned around and looked at the long sword on the sword stand, stepped forward and stroked the long sword, saying: "It has been fighting with the late king for many years, and it is still very sharp today." After saying that, he was about to draw his sword and kill himself to apologize, but the minister stopped him and said: "Your Majesty, no! The country is ruined and the family is destroyed. How can you face the ancestors and ancestors like this!" Ruluoxi! The king put down the long sword in his hand and said: "What should I do?" Xiangguo knelt down and said: "Surrender." King Ruluo Xi was shocked and said: "You are one of the eight ministers, one of the hundreds of officials. First, surrender. How can the Prime Minister say the word surrender? I would rather die in battle than say the word surrender." The Prime Minister knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, if you die in battle, what will happen to the people in the city?" The enemy captured one city and massacred the people in each city, and the lives of the people were in ruins! Your Majesty." The other ministers knelt down and persuaded: "The Prime Minister is right, if we surrender and endure the humiliation and preserve the legacy of the late king, there will be hope for the restoration of the country. The prince's division has already sent an envoy to Ruluo Nanzhou, and there will be millions of powerful soldiers there, so why worry about restoring the country?" The ministers advised in unison: "Keep the green mountains as long as you don't have to worry about running out of firewood." King Ruluo Xi looked outside the palace gate. The seaside city is already filled with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. The coastal city was breached, and the army entered the royal city in a mighty manner. King Ruluo Xi led all his civil and military officials out of the palace to greet him on their knees and stood in front of the chariot. The general stood on the chariot and said: "If you, King Ruluo, had surrendered as soon as possible, why would there be a river of blood outside the city?" King Ruluo Xi looked up and said, "This is the fault of the few ants, and it has nothing to do with the whole world. The people of the city have nothing to do with it. I ask the general to pardon the people of the city. The people of the city will be grateful to the general." The general looked down at King Ruluo Xizhou among the officials and said: "Then we will see if you, the king of Ruluo Xizhou, You are sincere." King Ruluo Xi pretended to be confused and said: "The ants have surrendered, so what more sincerity does the general need?" The general stepped forward and said: "Please King Ruluo Xi hand over the prince of the termite clan." King Ruluo Xi faced the general directly and said: "If you run away, general send troops to chase him quickly, otherwise you will regret it." The general was frightened and angry, and said: "What crime do you deserve for letting the criminal go?" sword. The King of the Milk Snail stretched his neck and closed his eyes, which actually fulfilled his wish. The Prime Minister raised his head, stepped forward, and said: "General, if you kill my king at this time, the people will despise you. If Ruluo Xizhou is unstable, how will you conquer other countries? General, please think twice." The general accepted. He raised his sword, turned his anger into a smile, and said: "King Ruluo Xi wants to anger this general, but I will not fall for your deception." He got off the car and walked to the Prime Minister's side, bowed down and said in the Prime Minister's ear: " Where is the prince fleeing to?" The prime minister raised his eyes and looked up at the general beside him, and said in horror: "Flee to the Ruluo Nanzhou Islands." He called the general of the Cockroach Army and said: "Hurry up and catch up, or you will see the ants or the corpses. ." The general of the Cockroach Army stood up and said: "I will chase you now." The general looked at King Ruluo behind Xiangguo and said: "Your Majesty, please take this general into the palace."

King Ruluo Xi led the way into the palace of Ruluo Xi, while the army stayed outside the palace. The Western King of Ruluo stood aside and said: "General, please take a seat." At this time, the general was somewhat humble and polite. In the eyes of other countries, Qin was a country of tigers and wolves. It had no faith at all and relied on deception in exchange for it. In the cities of various countries, this move was obviously done to show to the ministers below, so that they could change their views on Qin, so he said: "It is better to invite the king to sit down." King Ruluo Xi climbed up the steps and stood in front of the throne. , turned around and sat down, he just sat down, and said: "The Qin State is determined to destroy the ant tribe in Nanzhan Continent, pacify Nanzhan Continent and return it to our territory of Great Qin, and has no intention of attacking Jiuruluo West Continent. The prince fled to Jiuruluo West Continent and was attacked. Under the protection of the king, this military disaster also caused our army to suffer great losses. I am raising troops in Jiuruluo Xizhou. When raising the army, all the food and grass are supplied by Jiuruluo Xizhou. In case of war, Ruluo Xizhou must use all the country's resources. The soldiers are fighting together." The general first set his sights on the ministers, who were too timid to talk to him, and then he set his sights on King Ruluo Xi. King Ruluo Xi was also helpless and had no choice but to nod in agreement. After that, King Ruluo Xi was imprisoned in a deep palace and was not allowed to leave the palace gate. Anyone who came out would be killed. Ministers who wanted to see their king had to get permission from the general, otherwise they would not be allowed to see the king and fell at the palace gate. The corpse outside is just a lie. All military and political affairs are in the hands of the general, and King Ruluo is just in name only.

The motley crew of cockroaches chased to the coastline to watch. The termite prince, prince division, and red head got on the fishing boat and left. They gathered all the troops and fired arrows at the sea. The red head stood at the stern of the boat and drew his sword to block the arrow feathers. They floated on the water and had to return without success. At this time, the general did not live in the palace, but in the military camp outside the palace. All military and political affairs were handled in this military camp. General Cockroach entered the military camp and said: "General, when the army arrived, the prince had already boarded a fishing boat and fled to the Ruluo Nanzhou Islands." The general overthrew the desk in anger, stepped forward, and pulled out the Sword, said: "Gather the troops and horses to attack Ruluo Nanzhou." The military advisor stepped forward to dissuade him, saying: "General, no!" The general turned around and glared, saying, "Why not?" The military advisor stepped forward to respond to the situation. He made an analysis and said: "General, first of all, we don't know whether Ruluo Nanzhou is strong or weak. If we attack the army rashly, we will suffer losses. We have just gone through several big fierce battles and our morale is low, so it is difficult to go out. Secondly, there are still people behind us. There are ant tribes in Nanzhanbuzhou. If we wait for them to recover and attack the termite tribe behind us, then our army will become a lone army with no return. Winter will begin in another month. , affected by the north wind, the weather is very cold, which is not conducive to our army's combat, so we need to fight quickly." The general then calmed down his anger and asked: "What should we do as a military advisor?" The military advisor offered his advice: "Fight to support war. , so that the soldiers can be cultivated, their morale will be high, and at one go, they will unite the Luo Xizhou, the Cockroach Kingdom, and the Termite Tribe to form a four-nation coalition, and take down the Ant Tribe in one fell swoop. After that, they will withdraw their troops and return to the north, and start hibernating. I can send a letter to the Prince to Ruluo The King of the South has sent an envoy to Ruluo Nanzhou to show his kindness and power, so that we can explore the truth and falsehood, and then discuss the battle against Ruluo Nanzhou." The general obeyed the advice of the military advisor and said: "Everything the military advisor said makes sense, good. Well, just follow what the military advisor says."

The fishing boat floats on the sea, being lifted up and knocked down by the huge waves. The termite prince, prince master, and red head hugged each other and rolled around, neither of them giving up on the other. As the seawater came in, they floated on the water and clung to the side of the ship. The fishing boat also kept bumping and was about to fall apart soon. It hit the rocks and was immediately ejected. This is how they arrived at Xiongnan Reef, which is thrilling! Another life and death disaster.
