Because there is an indelible gap in strength between the upper five clans and the lower thirteen clans, according to the most fair approach, the strongest Atlantic Demon Bee clan among the upper five clans and the largest Kochi Bee clan among the lower thirteen clans were divided into two and assigned to the camps of Bai Yuzhi and Fei Ji respectively.
As the regent who was supposed to remain neutral, He Erlan suddenly changed his mind and personally joined Bai Yuzhi's camp, ignoring the opinions of the crowd.
"I will join the battle, and the rest of the Atlan Demon Bees will be divided into two sides with me."
He looked at Bai Yuzhi and made this surprising decision.
Fei Ji didn't expect him to do this, but if it was really as He Erlan said, he would be in a group and all the other Atlantic magic bees would be in a group, then it would be necessary to carefully consider who was stronger and who was weaker.
Fei Ji hesitated for a while and looked at Bai Yuzhi, wanting to see if she hesitated and what choice she would make.
It's not that she didn't want to take the initiative, but when she first started choosing people, she had already chosen the Noth Bee Tribe in order to keep Karen by her side. At this moment, she no longer had the right to make the decision first.
However, according to Fei Ji, even if the Regent's strength is unfathomable, she does not think that he alone can defeat all the Atlantic Demon Bees.
Bai Yuzhi raised the corner of her lips. She looked at He Erlan, who seemed calm but actually had clenched his hands tightly behind his back.
"In that case, I choose the regent."
The man breathed a sigh of relief, and without hesitation stepped from the middle to the left, standing firmly beside Bai Yuzhi.
The remaining Atlantic Demon Bees naturally had no objection and stood to the right of Fei Ji.
The grouping of the Atlantic Demon Bees was completed, but there was no trouble when dividing the Kochi Bee Clan. They just counted a center line from left to right according to their positions and simply divided the tribe into two.
Bai Yuzhi saw Ya Xi, who was inconspicuous among them, and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
After the division of the camps was completed, Fei Ji seemed very satisfied. Her expression remained calm as she said to Bai Yuzhi, "Now that the camps have been divided, let's begin. The victory or defeat of the competition will be determined by the number of prey caught. The camp with the most prey will be the winner."
It seems fair, but if it's played like this, what does it have to do with the competition between the two of them?
Bai Yuzhi agreed to compete with Fei Ji, not just to test his skills. Since she proposed the way to play, it should be his turn to decide the rules.
"I thought you could come up with some good ideas. Didn't we make a bet yesterday? If the dealer doesn't participate, then this bet is meaningless. The half-season deadline we agreed on is almost here, so why not take advantage of today and have a match in front of all the tribe members?"
Fei Ji was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"It's simple. You and I will personally be the commanders of this faction match. Only then will the victory or loss have meaning."
Bai Yuzhi was right. If this match went according to Fei Ji's suggestion, then wouldn't winning or losing depend entirely on luck? Because, with the exception of He Erlan, the division of the camps in this match was evenly split at one to one. This way of playing wouldn't achieve Bai Yuzhi's goal of establishing prestige.
If she switches to commanding the battle, her advantages can be fully demonstrated.
Fei Ji looked at Bai Yuzhi and wanted to refute: "Since ancient times, the queen bee has always stayed behind. No matter what war it is, it is the drones who charge into battle. If we go into battle, wouldn't that be breaking the rules?"
Before Bai Yuzhi could speak, He Erlan, who was standing beside her, said calmly, "That's not the case. The reason Her Majesty the Queen Bee is in the rear is because she is tasked with commanding the entire bee tribe in battle."
It is indeed as he said, each generation of queen bees has the ability of mental connection, and can naturally give remote commands from the rear.
Fei Ji racked her brains but couldn't think of a way to refute this fact. After a long while, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then we will personally direct it. But since the jade quality is comparable, we might as well be more serious."
"What do you want to say?"
"Since we're simulating a battlefield, which is ever-changing, deaths on a real battlefield certainly won't occur during the Hunting Festival. So, why not use faction switching to simulate the change in the number of people on both sides?"
Then let Fei Ji go back.
The reason why Fei Ji proposed the faction war in the beginning was that she wanted to show herself in front of all the bees that she was the one that people wanted.
She was confident that she had gained the loyalty of a considerable number of people. Even if those people were only a small part of the entire vast bee colony, most neutral people would naturally become biased when they saw her advantages.
Fei Ji proposed free choice because she wanted to let those hesitant bees see that the number of people who chose her would far exceed those who chose the white jade.
But her plan was ruined by Bai Yuzhi.
So Fei Ji gave up her original plan and wanted to show in front of everyone that she had an extraordinary ability to judge people. The opportunity was He Erlan's participation in the war. She wanted to let everyone know that she was better at judging people than Bai Yuzhi, so she gladly accepted all the Atlantic Demon Bees and wanted to defeat Bai Yuzhi's camp.
However, she never expected that Bai Yuzhi would suggest that two people take command. Fei Ji was a real greenhouse flower. Not only had she not awakened the spiritual connection, she also had no experience of fighting on the battlefield. She was not sure that she could win, so she wanted to reject this risky proposal.
But, He Erlan blocked her retreat.
So Fei Ji once again proposed the idea of free choice. What she meant was that during the battle, the drones were allowed to re-determine their own positions. In other words, once such rules were in place, deserting the battlefield and turning against the enemy on the spot were allowed.
She still wanted to take the initiative.
"Yes, I agree."
Bai Yuzhi decided on the final competition system without hesitation. Her decisiveness gave Fei Ji a bad feeling, but the situation was pressing and Fei Ji could no longer think carefully about anything.
"In that case, I declare that this competition officially begins!"
Following the announcement from the second elder of the Atlan Demon Bee Clan, all the bees rushed forward and divided into two groups heading in different directions. They were now in the Motui Forest outside the bee clan's territory. It was vast in area and had a variety of species, which could meet the bee clan's hunting needs.
All bee tribes will start hunting with the tacit consent of Bai Yuzhi and Fei Ji, and will not fight until their respective camps have enough prey. This is also to ensure that the basic tasks of the Hunting Festival can be completed.
Bai Yuzhi and Fei Ji looked at each other, and walked towards their respective camps under the protection of the strong men in their respective teams.
