Chapter 245: Raid Reconnaissance

After listening to the separate reports of the locust jackal and the mantis, the fly eagle also felt some doubts, so he made private contact with the mites afterwards.

This time, instead of just listening to the mantis's report, he asked the mantis to send him the information packet. Later, he asked the locust jackal for an information packet.

After reviewing the two packets, the Flyhawk didn't notice anything wrong at first, but after looking at it a few more times, the Flyhawk finally found a question.

Why are there tens of thousands of ants moving on the ground near the nest in the secondary nest of "Hunting Ground City"? This is by no means the size of an ant that a secondary nest should have. The ordinary secondary nest is only a few thousand to one or twenty thousand ants, obviously not all ants go to the ground to feed, and there will be ants in the nest who take care of the house, take care of the young ants and queens, and rest.

This is absolutely not normal!

The Flyhawk immediately reported this discovery to Rambofei.

After listening to it, Lan Bofei immediately sensed the value of this information, although he had never been to "Hunting Ground City", he had also heard about it, and knew that it was a small secondary nest based on hunting.

Lan Bofei summoned Hu Ziyi, who had been sitting in the "Waterfront City", to inquire, and they found that not a single ant from the "Hunting Ground City" and the surrounding area had recently come to the "Waterfront City".

This information is also unusual, the south bank of "Waterfront City" is one of the main ant roads in the kingdom, and if "Hunting Ground City" sends messengers to other regions, it must pass through this ant road, and it is impossible for the ants of "Waterfront City" not to be discovered.

Since the "Hunting Ground City" and the surrounding areas are still under the control of the Big-headed Ant Clan, but they are gathering forces abnormally and actively cutting off contact with other regions, there must be something wrong with this.

Although they have not been able to guess the reason, as many as thirty-four couriers from their faction have disappeared in this area, both Rambo Fly and Flyhawk believe that this area is hostile to their side, and reconnaissance intelligence needs to be carefully investigated.

Now the Divine Envoy King has asked the two males to find out the information about this area, and the current harvest alone is not enough.

Rambo Fei asked the Flyhawk to send another reconnaissance team, and the Flyhawk went into battle himself.

This time, he brought with him all the nine generals, as well as a whole squad of flying knights.

After circling around the "Hunting Ground City" for more than a dozen times, the Fly Eagle didn't notice too many abnormalities this time. Jackals and mites had spotted large ant colonies before, but this time they didn't see them, and there were only small teams of big-headed ants hunting and foraging on the ground, as well as some scattered ants.

It all seems to be normal, just like a normal side nest.

But compared with the previous investigation results, I can smell a little bit of the smell of wanting to cover up.

After reporting to Lan Bofei, Lan Bofei, Flying, and Da Rong all felt that there was something wrong inside, and it was impossible for the tens of thousands of ants found by the previous reconnaissance to disappear, and it was impossible to move to another place in such a short time.

It can only show that such a large ant army has hidden under the "Hunting Ground City". Since they were going to hide, it meant that their commander did not want to be discovered by the Flying Knights.

Moreover, it was impossible for the previous "Hunting Ground City" to accommodate so many ants, which indicates that its underground has been expanded. On weekdays, the males of the secondary nest will never waste their ant power to expand their nests, and there must be some plan to do so.

Although Lan Bofei still couldn't guess the other party's purpose, they faintly felt a hint of threat.

In order to obtain more information, Lan Bofei, Fly Eagle, and Da Rong plan to send a ground reconnaissance team.

After all, the flying knight's aerial reconnaissance can only be a sightseeing scene, and cannot completely replace ground reconnaissance.

However, it is not easy to conduct ground reconnaissance, just as the ants in the "Hunting Ground City" can only go through the ant path of the "Waterfront City" if they want to go to the hinterland of the kingdom, due to the terrain restrictions, if they want to enter the area of the seventeen secondary nests that need to be reconnoitred from the "Waterfront City", they must also pass through the only ant path, and the "Hunting Ground City" is stuck on this ant path.

Since there are tens of thousands of potentially hostile ants in the "Hunting Ground City", Lan Bofei feels that it is impossible for an ordinary ground reconnaissance team to pass through it without being detected, and it is difficult to force a breakthrough with the existing strength at hand.

After all, he only has one legion at hand, and "Linshui City" only has a garrison corps with weak combat effectiveness, and after leaving the garrison forces, there is not much force that can be used. The forcible detection of too many ants will startle the snake.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Rambo Fei initially wanted to let the Fly Eagle take the flying knight and carry a small number of soldiers to the hinterland of the Northeast region to find a secondary nest with empty troops to find out.

But the Eagle refused, how could the flying knights under his command sit with ordinary ant warriors? This is still the kind of thinking of male ant supremacy that the protagonist is disgusted with. Maybe the protagonist is here, and the Flyhawk doesn't dare to make a mistake, but it's just Rambo Flying, and the Flyhawk doesn't buy it at all.

Rambo Fei had no choice but to let the reconnaissance team advance from the ground.

However, when the commander of the Scythe Hunter Scout Team was summoned to explain the difficulty, the Commander of the Scythe Ant Hunting didn't care.

It turns out that as ants that can hunt alone, the hunting sickle ants have a very strong sense of direction, and they do not rely very much on pheromones and ant paths.

When questioned by Lan Bofei, the commander of the Scythe Hunter said that he could lead his troops around the ant road and walk through the wasteland, and only needed to tell himself the direction of the target.

Rambo Fei gave this task to the flying knights, and the dragon eagle agreed, he will send the flying knights to lead the way in the air, and the hunting sickle ant scout with good eyesight can completely follow the flying knights around the heavily defended area of the target.

The team had set out for three days before returning, and it was certainly not as fast as it was on the ant path.

During the day, under the guidance of the Flying Knight, they constantly changed routes, taking the most desolate and remote corners. Fortunately, there are no fierce insects that dare to challenge fifty sturdy hunting sickle ants without opening their eyes.

In the evening, when the Flying Knight returns for the night, these scythe hunters can only find a tree hole to huddle together and spend the still cold long night.

The Scythe Ant Scout warriors were hard-working, and without complaining, they arrived at a secondary nest at the very edge of the Northeast the next day.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the Flying Knight, these scythe warriors went straight to the entrance of the nest, killing all the ants they encountered along the way.

In the small nest**, these single-handed scythe-hunting warriors quickly found and captured a male, and after biting off his limbs, the scythe-hunting warriors took the captives out of the nest and carried them back quickly.

On the third day, the reconnaissance team returned to Waterfront City.

Although Lan Bofei was dissatisfied with the fact that the scythe ants had bitten the male captives into disabilities, he still took the overall situation into consideration and launched an interrogation first.
