Chapter 113 The New Troops
"Lesson... lesson..."
"Bloody... bloody..."
Two Diamond Parrots stand at the treetop, parroting loudly, imitating Suming\'s demeanor, with wings folded behind them, their bellies puffed out, and their heads nodding minutely, as if they\'re delivering a lecture to the bees.
"The key issue now is..."
Suming had gotten into the habit of talking to himself after spending so much time with animals. He was in the middle of a sentence when he suddenly shut up and looked up at the parrots.
The parrots also gazed at him as if they were waiting for him to finish so they could mimic him.
Suming rolled his eyes, thinking that the real issue was the overwhelming number of the Bee Allied Army. Their numbers were so terrifying that even the Haidong Qing, the fastest among them, couldn\'t capture the enemy Queen Bee and kill her before being surrounded. It was even worse for these two hefty and slow-moving Diamond Parrots; at least the Haidong Qing could escape, but these two were simply delivering themselves on a platter.
Could he only keep wearing them down slowly? This approach would waste a lot of time. Or he could go back to the city to buy those beekeeper suits... But that would take too much time and, considering today\'s attack by the Haidong Qing, it was possible that the Bee Allied Army could crush him under their weight.
The Haidong Qing had sustained minor injuries, but it didn\'t affect its combat ability. It had made a round in the sky and somehow grasped a sparrow, now bloodied and munching on it, intestines dangling out!
Seeing the sparrow, an idea struck Suming. He yelled at the Haidong Qing, "Stop eating!"
"Stop eating! Stop eating!" The two parrots had been waiting for Suming to speak and hurriedly imitated him.
The Haidong Qing paused, looking blankly at Suming with a sparrow\'s intestine hanging from its mouth, slurped it in, and waited for Suming\'s briefing.
"You forced my hand, using human-wave tactics against me, you\'re still not up to par!"
Suming snapped his fingers at the Haidong Qing, "Go, catch birds, any kind of bird! They have to be alive!"
"Catch birds! Catch birds!"
"Alive ones! Alive ones!"
"Shut it, you two don\'t just stand there either, you winged creatures, always hopping on the ground, aren\'t you ashamed? Go and help out!" Suming turned and pointed at the two parrots.
The parrots also pointed their wings at Suming, "Ashamed, are we? Ashamed, are we?" "Go help, go help!"
"Damn it, I\'m telling you two to go help!"
Suming, striding like a reactionary warlord, marched up and smacked each of the parrots with a slap.
The Diamond Parrot sisters\' heads tilted from the impact, a couple of feathers flying up, finally realizing they were being told to move. They hopped and skipped out of the woods, flapping hard and taking to the sky in a clumsy flight, joining the Haidong Qing to catch birds.
"All units, rest, prepare for battle!" Suming barked the order at the Queen Bee.
Subsequently, the two Diamond Parrots kept bringing back a variety of birds.
Tiny sparrows, pitch-black crows, chattering magpies that never stopped shrieking, delicate larks, intricately patterned thrushes, and even a large heron, a nationally protected animal.
The heron, a waterfowl, was somehow captured by the Haidong Qing. After being dropped off, it looked bemusedly at a crowd of varied birds that were completely different from itself.
Sometimes the Diamond Parrots brought the birds back alone, and sometimes they herded a large flock like ducks. On one occasion, the two parrots even teamed up to bring back an eagle.
The eagle appeared dejected, covered in scratches, clearly having suffered. Presumably, during the capture, the eagle tried to resist and got a harsh lesson from the Haidong Qing.
With every bird they brought, Suming used his spiritual power to indoctrinate them; only cooperation and obedience were their way out, to serve the Party-State dutifully, and how he wouldn\'t treat them unfairly, continuously bombarding their minds with these thoughts.

By evening, the catching neared completion. Nearly four hundred birds of various species and sizes filled the tree branches, forming a dense and silent cluster.
At the highest point, beside the large beehive, the Haidong Qing watched the birds below with a stern gaze.
Suming, hands still behind his back, looked on with satisfaction at his newly formed aerial force. The two Diamond Parrots stood by his side, heads held high, chests out.
"Everyone present, await orders!" Suming commanded as his spiritual power emanated.
"Swoosh..." Hundreds of birds at once tucked in their wings, standing tall on the treetops, ready for Suming\'s command.
Suming stepped out of the woods, slowly raising his arm, pointing towards the dark forest ahead, "Direction, straight ahead! Target, the Bee Allied Army\'s large beehive! All units, prepare!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than hundreds of birds took flight from the grove behind him, swirling together in the air without dispersing, forming a sudden dark cloud overhead.
Suming, like a wizard of legend, emerged from the midst of this dark cloud, his arm pointing to the forest ahead now thrust down sharply, mimicking the gesture of a beheading.
"All units, attack! Against any resistance, kill without exception!"
The Haidong Qing let out an eagle cry that split the sky, leading the flock of birds in the charge! The dark cloud swept across the sky, drifting towards the distant Bee Allied Army\'s headquarters, casting a shadow over the forest!
A dark cloud so heavy it seemed the city might collapse!
