The protagonist wakes up, in the extremely dim light, in a simple room where there are not even fluorescent bacteria, the furnishings are extremely simple, and "the four walls of the house" is a realistic word here.

The protagonist quickly sees that he is lying on a mass of ant scars, surrounded by a swarm of ants.

It's the male ants and soldier ants of the Divine Messenger King's Legion!

Rambovan, Ramboto, some known and less familiar male ants, some known and less familiar soldier ants.

The protagonist slowly sits up, and Rambovan and Rambo hurriedly lean forward, shrinking and stretching out their tentacles, acting cautiously and humbly.

"Where am I?" The protagonist places two tentacles on each of the two Legion Commander tentacles and asks questions.

In the noisy reply of the two male ants, the protagonist recovers little by little from the hysteria of his deep dream, becomes conscious again, and reintegrates into the world, just as he broke out of the chrysalis and merged into the world.

At this time, he gradually forgot the content of the dream, memories, obsessions, prophecies, all of which were hidden deep again, unable to perceive, touch, or remember.

But all this, there will always be a day when the shackles will be broken.

After his consciousness slowly clears up, the protagonist finally understands his current situation.

He had been unconscious for a long time, and it was the second half of the night.

During the daytime battle, the protagonist and a lot of ants are brought down by the paralyzing venom sprayed by the parasitic centipede. Seeing that the king was in danger, the warriors of the king rushed forward one after another, trying to rescue the leader.

At this time, fortunately, in order to drill through the passage, the parasitic centipede picked up the parasitic dung beetle corpse that blocked the passage, and an air convection was formed between the suddenly opened passage and the vent that had not yet been blocked, and the heat accumulated in the fierce battle caused the cold air of the damp enemy outside to pour in rapidly, and a strong wind blew away the remaining poisonous fog.

The god in the rear made the king warrior pay a lot of price, and it took him and some other unconscious companions to save him and place them in the depths of the ant mound.

Fortunately, this venom has no other side effects on the body, you know, the protagonist has seen the red corrosive poisonous mist sprayed by another centipede, and the corrosion and melting of an ant alive to death.

The battle continued, and the defenders, who had lost their commander-in-chief, survived to the end with the support of Rambotu. The battle during the day was fierce, but night finally came. As the enemy withdrew, Rambovan, who was far away in [Everglades], learned of the protagonist's plight and hurried to stay here with Rambotu.

While the protagonist is unconscious, the two Legion Commanders have to work for them, directing their subordinates to clean up the battlefield and mend the lair. The complicated and trivial work made them realize the difficulty of the divine envoy king who had been in charge of all this before.

While the Divine Envoy King was unconscious, male ant commanders continued to come to visit, looking at the unconscious Divine Envoy King, the commanders were terrified, and Rambowan and Rambotu had to spend a lot of effort to appease their subordinates.

For every extra hour of the protagonist's coma, the males become more restless for an hour, and Rambovan and Rambotu suffer for an hour.

Only when you lose it do you know how to cherish it, and this sentence is also a correct description of the psychology of ants. Hoping that the king would wake up and continue to lead everyone became the only wish of the male ants present.

Finally, the king woke up, and the males present showed unprecedented humility, which was a surrender from the heart.

The protagonist finally comes to his senses completely, and he asks about the battle during the day.

The daytime battle was extremely tragic for the defenders, Rambotu's Fourth Army was almost disabled, eleven of the fifty-two squads were wiped out, and the rest were basically more than half lost, leaving only more than 600 remaining combat effectiveness and more than 400 wounded soldiers of the 2,600 soldiers of the whole legion.

It can be said that Ramboto's troops have lost the strength to continue fighting. Fortunately, the vast majority of male ant commanders still survived, and if they could be replenished by soldier warriors, the legion would be able to recover quickly.

But precisely in the swampy area, the protagonist has no way to replenish the forces of the Fourth Legion.

Rambovan's troops remained in [Swamp City] and did not participate in today's battle, but their strength was not lost. But the Third Army is good at offensive operations, and if it replaces the Fourth Army tomorrow and enters the bridgehead defensive battle, it will not end up better than the Fourth Army.

The protagonist can't afford to lose the battle damage of the only two legions he has in two days.

It was already the second half of the night, and the defenders had made no preparations for battle other than cleaning the battlefield and making simple repairs to the ant mounds.

Now that the king has woken up, everyone has found their backbone, but everyone has witnessed the fierce battle during the day, even if they are as warlike as ants, these more intelligent and more "selfish" male ants still have palpitations.

This kind of battle, with no hope of victory, is difficult for even the Divine Envoy King Legion to hold on for a long time.

There is not much time left before dawn, and the protagonist must make a decision on the spot, how to deal with it?

The protagonist groans for a moment and has to accept the facts! After that, the remaining defenders began to retreat towards [Swamp City] through the rope bridge, which was relatively safe with the water barrier.

As for the bridgehead, it can only be abandoned for the time being, but the protagonist does not intend to leave it intact to the enemy.

The gaps that had just been filled in and had not yet dried out, were reopened at the behest of the protagonist, and the anthill returned to its scarred state.

The protagonist has just recovered, but he has to get up and fill the entrances and exits with other ant warriors.

After some action, this anthill is no longer usable, and the protagonist hopes to prevent the enemy from entrenching it in this way.

Even if the next time the Divine Envoy King's legion returns, it will take ten times more effort to rebuild, than having to attack the enemy's heavily defended stronghold.

After all the ants had withdrawn to the end of the bridge, the Flying Bee Riders untied the knot tied to the bushes at the end of the bridge.

Under the action of gravity, the rope bridge drooped from the middle and fell into the water, not stirring up a single wave, only a circle of ripples drifting away, creating small ripples on the surface of the swamp.

"Maybe we're just like this rope bridge!" The protagonist talks to himself, and no ant can understand his emotional words anyway.

"Always trying to shake the swamp, in fact, I can't even set off a wave!"

The protagonist shakes his head and banishes the pessimism. Fortunately, he is an optimistic character, otherwise he would not have been able to adapt quickly after becoming an ant.

Later, the protagonist and the ant warriors pull the rope bridge that fell into the water ashore little by little, coil it together, pile it in the open air, and wait for the next day's sun to dry it.

This thick rope will remain, because the rope bridge will have a day to be rebuilt, and the army of the Divine Angel King will have a day to conquer the swamp!
