Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

Chapter 278 - 278: It's dangerous to go alone, take this!

The humans had a lot of problems on their hands with the onset of rapid evolution world-wide, and they didn't know it was only a start. The more time passed, the more creatures would evolve.

I could only guess that since the God of Humanity didn't give me extra points for helping humans (so far), he must've been spending them on humans directly. This meant that they would evolve as well.

Slowly. It would take years until this will be noticed at all.

…It was good to be a bee.

It was good for humans that I, their neighborhood benevolent Bee Emperor, decided to conquer them!

Things would've been *much* easier if the High King was easier to brainwash, but the plan "Rebellion of the Messiah" was also acceptable.

While Farini traveled to Hive Supremo, the Empire Council had time to discuss it in detail. Now I only had to tell Farini what to do.

'I will send a legion of my best warriors with you, Farini, to aid your military efforts,' I told him telepathically.

Farini looked at the Warriors that were standing at the ready near the hive entrance. Until now, they just acted as guards… But in reality, they really were an army ready to set off.

I messaged Bloodimina, who was leading them, to approach us a little.

Her forces were all made of Beemarines, many of them pretty young. They were an elite, and although their faces were stoic, their faces were gleaming with excitement at the idea of an anti-human campaign.

They flew out of the hive without a single drum needed, in perfect synchrony, and hovered in a cubical formation. Twenty thousand bees! And many more could be brought forth if necessary.

Farini let out a shocked jaw-click.

'Warriors like these? It would be an honor to fight side by side with them! They must be incredibly powerful, being holy guardians, after all!'

I chuckled.

'Your faith in us is pleasing, but don't be too hasty. Only a tiny part of these Warriors' true divine might can exist in the mortal realm. Individually, they are a hundred times weaker than a human… But their sting is still deadly, and they can act as unseen and unexpected assassins and scouts. They will be a great help for you.'

'Assassins… If I were to target the most loyal supporters of the High King, it would spare a lot of the soldiers and commoners who just couldn't help but to follow their masters.'

'Yes, we knew you possess wisdom that not every mortal does.' I nodded. 'I will also send others with you—those who carry the divine wisdom with them on parchment and in their memories. They will help you fight the illnesses that spread through the land, and to improve the lives of your people in other ways. Right now they aren't here, but you will meet them on your way back to other humans.'

This was a great opportunity to send Re

This was absolutely true. In the last months, after Researchina developed a working model of a steam engine and a usable on a wide scale method to produce steel, we needed more iron and coal than ever!

While we mined coal on our own—not only in Hive Rich, but in several other mines dug near it—other metals were still a problem. People from Krisha traded a lot of metal to us, but the latest war made it hard for them to trade with bigger settlements—and on their own they were poor like church mice.

'Now go, Farini. Take the awaiting Warriors with you and spread the divine will! Whisper will stay your personal guardian and explain to you all the other things you might know.'

Farini nodded and made a step back.

'Didn't you hear us? Our Imperial Majesty told you to *take* the Warriors with you. Open your bag, Farini!'
