Lan Bofei led the second army of the Divine Envoy King to successfully hold on until the end of the day's battle, and did not let the old-fashioned King Army break through the second line of defense.

When the two sides withdrew, Rambo Fei counted the battle losses and found that nearly 200 soldiers were killed that day, more than 100 were wounded, and one-eighth of the soldiers in the entire regiment had been lost.

He had to continue to add some retired soldiers and some young soldiers in good health from the "Waterfront City" garrison to the legion in preparation for future battles.

Subsequently, Rambo Fei also asked why the flying knight delayed the important military situation that he could not lead reinforcements to noon.

The two flying knights on the mission tell them about Rambosser's communication with the protagonist.

- I'm the dividing line -

The clock was set to most of the day, and his eyes turned to the secondary nest that Ramboser was temporarily guarding.

At this time, the sun had just risen, and the First and Third Legions had already set out south to recover the Auxiliary Nest that had been attacked and lost by the enemy.

Two flying knights from Waterfront City are on standby at the entrance and exit of the lair, ready to take off and rush back as soon as the light conditions are suitable.

Rambotser was ordered to lead the main force of the Sixth Legion to garrison the sub-nest, which had only been conquered yesterday, to prevent it from being attacked and fallen by surprise.

His legions were not yet reorganized, and several squads were left behind as garrisons in the sub-nests that the Divine Envoy King's legions had conquered. Excluding the Scythe Hunter Scout Squad, only forty-four of the fifty combat squads of the Sixth Legion were in formation.

To be honest, it's not enough for a regular army to be stationed in only one squad in a sub-nest, but the protagonist doesn't have that many troops to deploy for the time being. He allowed the garrisons to be appropriately expanded according to the nest ant population, but there was still only one male commander, and the more the expansion, the more likely it was to have a poor command like the old-fashioned king's army.

Fortunately, most of the secondary nests have not encountered enemies yet, and the garrison is still enough to maintain the safety of the nest. But with the old-fashioned king's contacts everywhere, the security situation is deteriorating recently, and the protagonist has to plan ahead.

In addition to staying in the lair, Rambose was also responsible for taking a detailed inventory of the seized supplies.

This batch of supplies was very important to the rolling troops, who had set off lightly the day before, left all the grain and straw in the previous sub-nest, and then fell together.

Now, Lambosser had to count the captured food, and if the rolling troops needed food, he had to make sure that enough food was sent to the front line to avoid the army being starved.

In the fierce battle, ants that have eaten a full meal for three days will also be more likely to starve due to a large amount of energy consumption, and running out of food is also a very dangerous thing for the ant army. Some ant armies will forage for food on their own to make up for the shortage of military rations when the fighting is not raging, but this practice is too limited and prone to the danger of being attacked by the enemy.

Fortunately, the rolling army does not have to worry for the time being, and the captured food is still enough to consume for a week.

Although Rambosser belongs to a relatively mediocre type of male ants under the protagonist's command, as the same batch of adult male ants as the protagonist, they are naturally more intimate with the protagonist, and they are also trusted by the protagonist, and are promoted to the position of legion commander and join the protagonist's newly established king's meeting.

One of his advantages is that he is careful, and after his subordinates reported that the materials had been counted, he still went to check the warehouses one by one.

This is where the problem is identified. In a warehouse full of sun-dried mushrooms, he saw a familiar figure that had brought many nightmares.

Some sun-dried parasites!!

Naturally, Rambose will not forget the strange parasitic fungi and poor and terrifying parasitic ants in the southern hilly area, and the fierce battle is also very clear that the remnants of the parasitic ants have escaped through the waterway.

Now a batch of dried parasitic hyphae appears in front of you, what does it mean?

The soldiers who had counted their food stocks had not noticed anything special about the dried mycelium, as the parasite had the ability to confuse the ants and make them ignore the presence of the parasite unless there was a special directive asking them to pay attention to the fungus. Only males with higher intelligence are able to consciously avoid such disturbances when they are vigilant.

Ramboser hurriedly finds the Flying Knight and asks them to report this important information to the protagonist immediately.

After the Flying Knight took the order, Lamboser still had a lot of follow-up work to do.

He hurriedly gathered the male ants of the legion and checked all the ants in the entire nest together, and sure enough, he found an infected worker ant.

On the back of this worker ant, the hyphae that already have parasitic bacteria in the cracks of the carapace began to emerge, although they have not yet matured, they are also very terrifying.

Without hesitation, Lambasse ordered the worker ant to be executed.

Generally speaking, it is not enough to kill the parasite just by killing the poor ant, and the mature parasite will actively break away from the dead host, have a certain ability to act, and can actively find a new host. But the parasitic hyphae on the worker ant were not yet mature, and after her death, the mycelium was carefully pulled out and thrown into the sun, where it quickly dried out without nutrients and moisture.

Rambosser also asked his subordinates to cut all the dried mycelium into small pieces and bury them in a centralized manner. The tenacity of this parasite also impressed the male ants at first. Even if it is dried, as long as there is water and can be resurrected with full blood, only by burning it or chopping it completely can it die.

The infected worker ants are the aborigines of this nest, and because he is worried that there are still infected people among the aborigines, he divides the Divine Envoy King warriors and the original ants of the nest into separate residences and undergoes daily inspections.

Rambose was also pondering the origin of these parasites, apparently there was an infectious source somewhere in the nest's territory that would infect foraging worker ants—unlucky worker ants who might have collected and dried mycelium as food, but were inadvertently infected.

Over the next few days, Lambuser found several infected ants from the natives of the nest and killed them all, without causing a rapid spread of the infected. That's an afterword.

At that time, the protagonist, who was far away in the main lair, was taken aback after receiving the Flying Knight's urgent report, and he read the information package in detail, and the Flying Knight waited until the protagonist read another information package about Rambofei's battle plan, and then realized that something was wrong, and asked the Flying Knights to hurry back.

Even though there are some concerns about the disconnection between Rambo Fei's battle plan and Roll's actions, most of the protagonist's attention has turned to the parasite's side.

What does the resurgence of parasites mean? Is it a separate event or is it related to the group of parasitic ants that escaped? And what kind of impact will it have on the already extremely complicated civil war situation in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom?
