having obtained the same genes as the Insect Swarm, they are now also entering a learning phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike the Insect Swarm that can gather together for offline learning, the Tree-men are too large and many need to perform guard duties, so they can only choose “online learning,” absorbing knowledge through the network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi estimated that this round of comprehensive territory study might need to continue at least until the end of the Battle Zone challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rare chance for strengthening all the species within the territory, the contraction of activities brought the whole territory into a sort of silence, and even external communications began to decrease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for a few witch squads left to test new faith weapons, previously active witches outside have become nearly impossible to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even many of the Lords in White Poplar City are surprised, wondering what mischief Fan Mao is up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because of Fan Mao’s lingering influence and the remaining battles in the Battle Zone, few dared approach to inquire about the activities of the witches outside directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for those who openly and covertly showed interest in Bai Yi on the leaderboard, this period has indeed become lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not daring to ask the witches directly, a Tier Three Lord makes a good target for inquiries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Youming was quite happy, being a marginalized Lord yet receiving so much attention, even managing to gather information only known to a 4th Rank in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This eventually led to him knowing that he could exchange Task Settlement Cards to replace certain conditions, thus leaping to a 4th Rank Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this excitement lasted just a few days before Youming could hardly bear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, under the guise of combat, he fled to the front lines of the Battle Zone, accompanying a witch squad to test weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving with the witches, no Lord dared follow, allowing him a period of peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Bai Yi’s involvement, even with less than a thousand witches participating, the progress in the Battle Zone steadily improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the Iron Blood command focuses on stability, avoiding rash actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past week, the front line has advanced to the camps in several regions, with only the final “decisive battle” left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s combat mission for Youming, as well as the weapon testing site, is an outpost on the periphery of a regional camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though called an outpost, due to pressure from the front-line witches and other Lords of White Poplar City, this outpost has more than five hundred people, nearly a small camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, without convenient channel communication in the Battle Zone, if a Lord doesn’t constantly monitor their soldier numbers, an outpost with too few people could be easily swallowed unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The presence of five hundred people is reluctantly necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though in recent times two new 5th Rank Lords have successfully emerged in those regions, several 5th Rank Lords on the White Poplar City side have also grown.\u003C\u002Fp>",954,"2026-06-06T04:11:16.816Z",1,"novelbin.me","c94a056c65255ed90ec6603e4ea788a0ff33f11a3f9db3bf08c5dc599818744c","the-doomsday-lord-starting-as-a-insect-queen-chapter-341","the-doomsday-lord-starting-as-a-insect-queen-chapter-339",1449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-doomsday-lord-starting-as-a-insect-queen-cover.jpg"]
