Advancing to the Killer Bee Kingdom

Lucy-nuna diligently researched the Killer Bee venom afterward.

On the third day, Lucy-nuna finally created a potential antidote.

Lucy-nuna demonstrated the antidote.

I, Winston, Melissa, General Chike, Chidi, and all the other Slimes who helped with the research came.

Lucy-nuna dropped the blue antidote into a bowl of Killer Bee venom.

The Killer Bee venom bubbled.

Afterward, I sprinkled the venom on a volunteer Slime, but nothing happened.

Chike happily shouted while doing a Slime jump.

“Amazing! There’s nothing to fear now!”

Lucy-nuna said.

“We still have clinical trials left. We need to know if this antidote makes Slimes immune to Killer Bee venom when they eat it, and how long the immunity lasts.”

Chike said.

“This antidote alone is already half the battle. I’ll gather volunteers for the clinical trials.”

Chike went around shouting that he was gathering volunteers for the antidote’s clinical trials.

Many adult Slimes volunteered, creating a long line in front of the research building.

All of them were Slimes who came to sacrifice themselves for their comrades.

After spending another three full days, Lucy-nuna figured out the antidote’s performance.

Lucy-nuna said.

“If a Slime eats this antidote, they become immune to Killer Bee venom for up to 24 hours.”

Chike said.

“Now we just need to mass-produce this antidote.”

“But the herbs are rare, so there aren’t enough for all the Slimes to eat.”

“Slimes have their own methods. If adolescent Slimes who don’t have a characteristic yet eat a lot of this antidote, they become Antidote Slimes.”

“Oh my! There’s such a method!”

When Chike sought volunteers to become Antidote Slimes, adolescent Slimes gathered and formed a long line.

We first made one Slime into an Antidote Slime.

We fed the antidote that Slime emitted from its body to another Slime to make another Antidote Slime.

In this way, hundreds of Antidote Slimes were created.

Melissa asked Chike something she was curious about in the meantime.

“Can’t all the Slimes just have the Antidote characteristic?”

“Our Slimes can only have one characteristic. Once it’s decided, the characteristic only gets stronger, and it’s very difficult to change to a different kind of characteristic.”

“So there are no Slimes with two characteristics?”

“I’ve never seen one before, except for our Queen-nim.”

“Heeh~ The Queen-nim is amazing.”

“That’s right. Because she’s the best warrior in the kingdom.”

I, Lucy-nuna, Melissa, Winston, Chike, and Lily discussed how to attack the Killer Bee Kingdom.

Unfortunately, Lily was just a low-ranking Killer Bee soldier, so she didn’t know all the military facilities and shortcuts of the Killer Bee Kingdom.

It’s like how soldiers on Earth only know their own unit and its surroundings when they go to the military.

Lily said that the Killer Bee divisions surrounded the Slime Kingdom in a circle and were located in various places.

Lily said she was in the division that managed the south.

Lily knew where the southern outposts were because she went on patrol every day.

Lily told us the locations of the divisions and outposts.

We made a plan.

Chike summarized the plan as the representative.

“The Queen-nim and half of the Slime army will attack the Killer Bee division in the north of the kingdom. The other divisions will go north to help that division.”

Winston replied.

“That’s right.”

Chike said again.

“When their attention is diverted, the remaining half of the Slime army, me, and Kyle-nim’s party will attack the southern division. And then we’ll advance into the Killer Bee Kingdom.”

Everyone nodded.

Chike explained the operation to the Slime Queen.

The Slime Queen approved the operation.

The operation was set for five days later.

———————–

It’s the morning of the operation day now.

In the north of the Slime Kingdom, the Slime Queen and half of the Slime army waited.

In the south of the Slime Kingdom, Chike, I, Lucy-nuna, the beast-human Winston, the four-legged beast Melissa, and half of the Slime army were lined up.

All adult Slimes could become combat personnel.

A report came that the Slime Queen’s army had departed to the north.

Afterward, a report came that the Slime Queen’s army had begun engaging the Killer Bee division.

How well the Slime Queen’s army draws the aggro of the other Killer Bees is one of the key elements of this battle.

Since there are Antidote Slimes for the Killer Bee venom, we won’t just collapse helplessly like before.

Chike commanded in a deep voice.

“Antidote release!”

All the Slimes followed Chike’s voice and shouted loudly.

“Antidote release!!!!!”

The Antidote Slimes throughout the army emitted antidote smoke from their bodies.

Pshushushushushu

All the Slimes drank the antidote.

Chike commanded.

“Advance!”

All the Slimes shouted in unison.

“Advance!!!!!!”

All the Slimes slid forward at once.

The sound of the Slimes rubbing against the ground as they moved echoed.

Sssssssss ssssssss Kkurrrrrrrrr

The elite Slime teams in the front lines advanced towards the Killer Bee outposts at a faster speed than the main force.

A few minutes later, the screams of the Killer Bees were heard.

When the main force arrived, only the elite Slimes and the Killer Bees, torn to pieces, were visible.

We headed towards the Killer Bee division.

The Killer Bee division is a key military facility that guards a wide area and must be destroyed.

After moving for several hours, the Killer Bee division came into view.

The Killer Bee division was a giant hornet’s nest made of beeswax, stone, and wood that sprang up from the ground.

There were holes that looked like entrances all over the walls of the Killer Bee division.

The Slime army charged towards the division.

The Killer Bees who were guarding in the sky discovered us and rotated in a specific orbit.

It seemed to be a signal that the enemy had appeared.

A tremendous number of Killer Bees came out of the Killer Bee division and flew towards the Slime army.

The Killer Bee mages cast their poison magic and wind magic from that time, and a translucent white fog covered the Slime army.

Soon, Killer Bees with spears rushed at the Slimes, sneering.

One Killer Bee thrust a poison-tipped spear at a yellow Slime.

The Slime extended a Slime tentacle.

The Killer Bee knew that Slimes were slow and tried to dodge slowly, but that Killer Bee’s thoughts could no longer continue.

This was because its abdomen had been hit by a Slime tentacle, and its lower and upper body were already separated.

The screams of Killer Bees who had been attacked by Slimes were heard everywhere.

“Kyaaaaack! My wings!”

“I stabbed it with poison, but it’s not slowing down! Kyaaack!”

The Slimes fired projectiles and Slime cannons at the Killer Bee mages and javelin throwers in the sky.

Shush shush shush Puhuhuhung Puhuhuhung

The Killer Bees summoned giant hexagonal plates to block them.

Some projectiles pierced the plates, while others bounced off.

The Slimes that were fired by the Slime cannons swung their Slime tentacles greatly, broke the plates, and went over.

The Killer Bees stabbed the cannonball Slimes with poison-tipped spears.

The cannonball Slimes didn’t care and quickly swung their tentacles to blow off the Killer Bees’ heads.

The cannonball Slime extended a Slime tentacle, wrapped it around the Killer Bee’s wings, and pulled, using the reaction to fly up.

The Killer Bee whose wings were wrapped was torn and fell down.

The cannonball Slimes slaughtered the Killer Bees without being affected by the poison.

The Slime army charged into the division to kill all the Killer Bees inside.

My party members and I also charged into the division.

Winston flicked away a javelin that flew towards Lucy-nuna with his fingernails.

Chike jumped and deflected a javelin that flew towards me with his hard body.

I shot acidic mucus at the javelin thrower with my tentacle.

The javelin thrower’s leg, which was covered in acidic mucus, melted in an instant.

The javelin thrower screamed.

“Kyaaaaack! My leg! Kyaack!”

The javelin thrower fell down from the pain of his leg melting.

A Slime running from behind body-checked the javelin thrower and destroyed him.

The Slime army poured into the division through the holes.

I went inside with Lucy-nuna, Winston, Melissa, and Chike.

The inside was made of beeswax, and the caves were intricately intertwined.

Armed Killer Bees ran towards us from inside the caves.

Chike rushed straight ahead and knocked the Killer Bees away like bowling balls.

Kwang Kwang Kwagang Kwang

When the Killer Bee mages made hexagonal plates, Chike stopped, hitting the plates with a huge noise.

Kwaaaang

Chike swung his Slime tentacles, broke the plates, and attacked.

I shot my tentacles, pierced the heads of the Killer Bees that flew like bowling balls, and confirmed the kill.

Slimes and Killer Bees were fighting everywhere.

Slimes who died after being stabbed by javelins,

Slimes who died while spewing body fluids after having holes pierced all over their bodies,

Killer Bee pieces that were torn to pieces,

Killer Bees who died with dozens of thorns stuck in their bodies.

Everywhere was a festival of blood and slaughter.

Three Killer Bee spearmen ran towards me.

Melissa passed by me as if brushing past and shot Death Cloud from her mouth.

The three Killer Bee spearmen coughed and trembled after being hit by Death Cloud.

I charged and swung my blunt tentacle, smashing the heads of two of them.

Winston jumped and crunched the head of the remaining one, biting it off.

Chike shouted.

“We have to kill the executives! If we go inside, there will be a division commander!”

We went inside the cave.

Soon, a huge cavity appeared.

All the Killer Bee executives and elite soldiers were gathered there.

The Killer Bee army stood in an orderly manner on a 2m high castle made of beeswax.

Sharp thorns protruded forward from the castle walls.

The Killer Bee captain was wearing full plate armor and holding a giant two-handed hammer.

There were holes in the walls of the cavity everywhere.

Slimes poured out of the holes.

The Killer Bee castle was surrounded by Slimes.

The Killer Bee captain shouted.

“Fire!”

Knowing that poison magic was useless now, they didn’t use poison magic.

The Killer Bee javelin throwers fired javelins.

As the rain of javelins was fired at the Slimes, the hard Slimes stretched out their bodies to block the javelins.

Kwagaagang Kwajijik Kwagang

The javelins that failed to block hit the Slimes and pierced them, causing the Slimes to tremble and die.

Chike blocked us.

When the rain of javelins ended, the ranged Slimes fired fireballs, acidic mucus, poison mucus, horns, and ice thorns at the Killer Bees.

At the same time, the Slime melee soldiers charged at the castle.

A scene of carnage unfolded as the Killer Bee spearmen blocked the Slimes trying to climb over the castle walls.

But the number of Slimes was overwhelmingly large.

The Slimes began to climb onto the castle walls.

Lucy-nuna shouted loudly to me.

“I’ll fire a special Fireball!”

Lucy-nuna’s arm turned into eight tentacles.

Magic circles were drawn at the end of each tentacle, and then they gathered into one, creating a giant magic circle.

Lucy-nuna created a giant Fireball with a diameter of 8m above her head.

The Killer Bee captain saw the Fireball and shouted urgently.

“Magic Second Company! Risk your lives to block that magic!”

Lucy-nuna fired the extra-large Fireball at the Killer Bees on the castle walls.

Several layers of hexagonal plates were created in the path of the extra-large Fireball.

The extra-large Fireball collided with the hexagonal plates, broke them as they were, and moved forward.

Kwaang Kwaang Kwaaang

The size of the extra-large Fireball decreased each time it broke.

Lucy-nuna’s extra-large Fireball was stronger, so it broke all the hexagonal plates and flew as it was, hitting the Killer Bees.

Kwaaaaaaaaang

A fire explosion occurred, and many Killer Bees burned to death, creating an empty space.

The Slimes poured into the empty space and penetrated the Killer Bee army.
