These words stayed in my head for the rest of the day, despite the amount of events that were happening around me and the Bee Empire at large!
Although I wasn't physically present and didn't even have the time to send an astral projection to watch it, countless bees and humans in The Fields Region were busy setting controlled living mountain fires.
For their sake, even some sections of our infrastructure were abandoned and sacrificed so that the living mountains around them could be set on fire. Of course, the massive fields with usnea trees were cut down by scythes and set on fire even earlier.
Thousands of people worked overtime before today to gather fruits from these trees first and not waste food, which was already growing sparser in the region. Not to the point of hunger, thankfully.
