Li Yao smiled, "You're wrong. It's not that they don't want to launch a surprise attack from underground. In fact, this is what they excel at."
Morning Breeze was puzzled, "Then why did he raid from the flank and not attack suddenly from underground? In previous wars, we suffered greatly from such tactics. Many mages were caught off guard and killed."
"This is the world of insects. They know right upon meeting that if they were to fight underground, these Beetles wouldn't stand a chance against my Worm Tribe. So they wisely chose to battle on the surface," Li Yao explained.
Morning Breeze was enlightened but still didn't fully understand why Beetles, who were adept at underground fighting, weren't a match for Flame-Poison Mantises.
Li Yao didn't explain further. The insects under his command were diverse, like the Mantis Monster skilled in aerial combat, and Anqira, who excelled in swarm tactics and the tactics of strong individuals.
