The non-stop life-and-death struggle has reduced the number of insect swarms by nearly half, but the reduction is only in quantity, and the quality of their individuals is rapidly improving.

The Zerg Nag was supposed to complete the screening in the battle from the time he was born. It's just that their former king, a magical beast with special abilities, interrupts this process, and here they make up for the missing link.

Although Nag has good individual intelligence, they are more obedient to the will of the group, and now there is only one person who represents their collective will - Lily.

When Lily leaves, she leaves behind an even more vague order - hunt.

Not long after receiving this order, the swarm completely dispersed. Alone in search of a goal, but there is no lack of cooperation.

Ryo knew that his struggle to survive had created a sneak attack for the bugs, which was why they appeared. Even so, he still felt reassured. The simple rules of survival didn't hurt him, at least he had a more flexible mind and he could take advantage of it all.

So, Ryo decided to use his example as a bait to attract the sporadic sentinels.

......

As they move forward, the strikers of the demon clan have gradually shown fatigue. The constant harassment around the clock has led them into the illusion that they are enemies on all sides. Initially, the sentient wizards who accompanied the army were able to provide some help, but gradually these wizards became sleepy and became less and less helpful.

And their perception range is too small, and they can barely keep an eye on their surroundings when they are stuck in one place. But when marching, they simply could not meet the needs of large-scale reconnaissance.

After crossing Silverpine Town, the speed of the demons' march began to decrease sharply, which made impatience spread among the army. Skirmishes are becoming more frequent, and everyone seems to want to vent in this way. However, seemingly inconspicuous small-scale frequent battles have greatly exacerbated the loss of equipment and personnel.

The general led by the demon clan knew the former Northland very well, and it was precisely because of this understanding that he was not prepared. In the past, when the demon army attacked, the northerners would simply defend the city. And most of the demons showed off their might under the city, and then turned around and retreated.

Today, the Northlanders are still nowhere to be seen, but they have left annoying bugs to haunt them. How similar this is to the methods of the demons! It's just that what they left behind were vassals, while the northlanders left behind even more ferocious insects, and the feeling of being cocooned and self-bound spontaneously arose.

The entire demon clan underestimated this, otherwise they would not be in a predicament. Thankfully, the insane Northlanders didn't destroy Silverpine, or even touch the storehouses there, so there was room for remedy.

This made him a little afraid, if Silverpine Town was completely destroyed, then they would fall into this place......

Equipment can also be redeployed from Silverpine Town, but the attrition of personnel is difficult to replenish.

......

Lily didn't know that Nag had caused huge trouble to the demons, and even held back the demons' forwards. She still stood on the ramparts, staring at the young wizard below.

After standing for a day and a night, many began to teeter. They are not her, and they can sleep without sleeping. The crowd of onlookers who were giggling yesterday couldn't help but become silent and serious when they woke up and passed by here again.

The complainant had already regretted it, and he did not expect it to be so. thought that a few slaps and a warning would pass. These children are already tired from the journey, they need food, and rest, not this punishment. Even if the punishment is imposed, it should be reprieved first.

He wanted to intercede, so he looked over the walls. The sun shone on the girl's body, gilding her with a layer of gold, and it seemed that the whole person was emitting endless light. So he forgot his original intention for a moment and looked up in surprise. More and more people looked up, and even the little wizards couldn't help but raise their heads and join the ranks of stunned.

Lily was indifferent to the gaze of everyone, she had adapted to it all. From the initial pride, boredom, to numbness, let them go, she just had to do her own thing.

......

Transporting equipment is a turning point in the battle between the demon strikers and the bugs.

No one expected that the swarm would suddenly gather and sweep away this small transport team. By the time the team arrived, the swarm had already dispersed.

Ironically, they left behind the equipment that the demons desperately needed......

Ryo also took part in the attack and managed to capture one person. Surrounded by the swarm, Ryo happily had a meal with the captive, subduing his first servant.

This meal excites Ryo, and a new arrest begins. As Ryo became more and more servants, his actions became more and more daring.

The missing sentinels have reappeared outside the barracks, only that they are no longer reliable comrades-in-arms, but have joined the ranks of cannibals. Outside the camp, they openly gnawed on the corpses of their former compatriots.

This made the morale of the demons plummet, and the morale of the army began to waver, and no one was willing to go out of the camp to carry out the mission again. They stopped moving forward and even showed signs of retreating. But now, the drawdown has also become a bit difficult.

The swarm had noticed that they were weakening and began to gather around the area, and from time to time the insects stood up and looked out of the camp......
