During the daylight of the day after the completion of [Breaded City] and the arrival of the protagonist with two legions, the place was besieged on a large scale.

The protagonist rides Xiaoqing II, surrounded by twelve bee flying knights Gong Wei, flying in the sky.

Although the battle on the ground is about to start, the sky is safe at the moment.

In the second half of the battle near [Stump City], the protagonist discovers that there are fewer and fewer flying war beasts in the parasitic army, which is probably due to the fact that after the protective net and ballista are available, the number of air war beasts killed by the Divine Envoy King's army has greatly increased.

After all, the probability of flying insects being infected with silk thread parasites is already low, and the Divine Envoy King Legion has killed hundreds of parasitic dragonflies, butterflies, moths, and bees in a series of battles. Thinking that there are very few flying war beasts left under the control of parasites, even in this swamp where parasitic bacteria are rampant, it is not easy to replenish flying war beasts.

Therefore, the flying knights of the Divine Envoy King Legion have regained control of the sky, at least for a while, which is good news for the Divine Envoy King Legion, which has always been at a great disadvantage in terms of strength.

Early this morning, just after dawn, the bee flying knights of the Divine Envoy King Legion who had settled here last night took off from the "door" reserved by the protective net and began to reconnoiter the enemy's movements.

Each fort is sure to alarm the local parasitic ants and beasts of war when it is completed, and battles are inevitable, and early warning can help the defenders gain an intelligence advantage.

[Bread City] was not noticed by the enemy at first, after all, because of the need to choose a suitable location to build the castle, there is still some distance from the enemy's nest, and there are not many parasitic ants that come here to move.

But in the morning, the wandering parasitic ants, corn hairy ants, and worker ants found the fortress controlled by the Divine Envoy King's legion, and hurried back to the nest to report the news.

If the Divine Envoy King Legion doesn't want to be discovered by the enemy, there are countless ways to kill the scouts on their way back to report the news.

However, the Divine Envoy King Legion originally planned to use the fortress to defend against a large number of parasitic ants nearby, so naturally it was not blocked.

There is a nest entrance at the top of the roundbread hill, and according to reconnaissance and estimates, it is inhabited by tens of thousands of parasitic corn hairy ants.

Although there are many types of parasitic ants, their nests are scattered except for the cooperative during combat, and there is only one type of ant in each nest, which does not disturb each other on weekdays.

Like this nest, there are only corn hairy ants in it.

Lasius alienus, also known as grass ant, belongs to the class Insecta, Hymenoptera, Ant Family, Ant Subfamily, and Mao Ant genus, which is a widely distributed and very common ant species.

The corn hairy ant is an omnivorous ant that feeds on tree secretions and other insects, especially aphid secretions and sweet foods such as plant flowers and nectar glands.

The corn hairy ant is a single-seeded ant that lives in clearings, meadows and forests, and builds its nest underground, under rocks or in tree cavities. Usually in May-August, the wedding flight. In the sparse forest area, shrubland, grassland, open land, etc., the population is abundant, and the distribution of shady slope forest and dense shrub is less. And the roundbread hills are a typical meadow, and it's no wonder that a large number of parasitic corn hairy ants live here.

The worker ants of corn hairy ants are 3.0-4.2 mm long, which is slightly larger than that of paving ants and large-headed ants, but smaller than the soldier ants of large-headed ants. Its body is dark brown, with antennae and foot segments yellowish-brown, and a brownish-red palate. The erect hair is sparse, the whole body has a lodging pubescent quilt, and the head is brighter.

The queen of corn hairy ant is 8.0 mm to 9.0 mm long, mostly gray-brown to brownish-black, the head is much smaller than the thorax and abdomen, and the antennal stalk and foot diameter node have no or very little hair.

The male of the corn hairy ant is 3.0 mm to 3.8 mm long, and the body size is even smaller than that of the slightly larger worker ants, which is very different from the huge male ant. The body of the male ant is grayish-black, the wings are transparent, and the antennae and foot segments have no erect hairs.

Soon, as the scouts of the parasitic corn ants returned to their nests, the Flying Knights reported that a large number of enemies were coming from the nest to kill [Bread City].

The protagonist also takes off, observes the movements of the enemy forces, and then sees a spectacular scene.

Countless dark brown corn hairy ants, covered in furry (no wonder they are called hairy ants), gushed out of the ground and merged into a flowing river, which was flowing down the terrain from the top of the loaf hills.

This river of ants is like a flood, unstoppable, ignoring everything, and the surging waves are sweeping towards [Bread City].

Although the Divine Envoy King's Legion has fought against the King's Council faction, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, and the Scythe Hunter Ant, they have also participated in six-figure battles on a large scale. But facing such a large number of enemies in one battle is not even seen in the protagonist's life.

There are so many enemies, far more than the tens of thousands reported by the Bee Flying Knight at the beginning. The number of people pouring out of the ground is more than 100,000!

The huge entrance and exit at the top of the round loaf hill is like a fountain, and more parasitic ants are gushing out one after another, and a large number of parasitic corn hairy ants follow the pheromones left by the scouts, killing [Bread City] in a straight line.

While the front of the parasitic ants was already approaching [Bread City], there was still a steady stream of troops pouring out of the roundbread hills, continuing to converge into the river that had been cut off from the water.

For a while, the protagonist even wondered if this roundbread hill was hollow, otherwise it could accommodate so many ants living in it? How much food do so many ants need? Can this hundreds of square meters of roundbread hill and its surrounding environment support the survival of so many ants?

Despite his doubts, the protagonist returns to [Bread City] first, and the enemy army is approaching, and he must sit in the battle.

Fortunately, although there are a large number of parasitic ants today, they did not have other reinforcements at the beginning, whether it was other species of parasitic ants or parasitic war beasts, they did not come to trouble [Bread City] at first, and they did not even show their faces, it seems that this is a forbidden place for them.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the same day, when the battle had reached the second half, that these parasitic war beasts were late, which is a later story.

Moreover, although the enemies are extremely numerous and menacing, the area of [Bread] is limited, and it is built on rotten trees that have been half-submerged in the water, and no matter how many enemies there are, they can only be besieged heavily, and the number of parasitic ants that can really kill in front of them is not many.

So the protagonist is still full of confidence, but with so many enemies, it will take many days to completely wipe them out. And time is what the protagonist lacks the most now.

As the protagonist commands two squads of ballista shooters, ten stone projectiles are fired at a time, smashing several gaps in the dense array of enemies that can be covered without aiming at all.

This battle around [Bread City] and the Roundbread Hills begins!
