In the next few days, the Flying Knights regrouped and continued to reconnoiter on the north bank of the Great River, but they tried to spend as little as possible, and even if they wanted to spend the night, they carefully chose the location for the night, and also arranged sentry posts. For some time after that, there were no further major losses.

According to the reconnaissance information of the flying knights, now the paving ant barbarian country is doing its best to resist the invasion of the mysterious ants, and they have mobilized the strength of the whole country to resist in the territory north of the main nest, although the losses are heavy, but the strategic goal has been achieved.

The combat effectiveness of the Paving Ant Warrior is far inferior to that of the enemy, but with the blessing of a strong will to fight, and with the support of the whole territory, the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom actually withstood the enemy's attack and maintained the battle line three days north of the main nest, without letting the war spread to their own main nest again.

At this time, the surrounding situation is also conducive to the paving ant barbarian country. In addition to the mysterious ants, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, another big enemy of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country, has not completely recovered from last year's war of attrition and has chosen to stand still.

Since there was only one queen ant in the Northern Expeditionary Army last year, it was difficult to quickly regain strength. After the beginning of spring this year, the first task of the Northern Expeditionary Army is to reproduce more queens, which is a more important task for the remaining factions of the old King Conference than to expand the territory.

After the beginning of spring, the territory of the Northern Expeditionary Army has been fully fed and hatched more than a dozen eggs of the queen ants, these young queens have broken the pupae, as long as they participate in the wedding flight ceremony, they can become adult queens who can continue to give birth and contribute to the race.

In addition to the queen ant, a new generation of male ants born in the territory occupied on the north bank of the Great River will also participate in the marriage ceremony, which is the heir of the latest generation of the ancient Big-headed Ant Kingdom and the ancient King's Conference faction.

In order to prepare for the first wedding ceremony organized on the north bank of the Great River, and for the future of the big-headed ant kingdom, the Northern Expeditionary Army had no time to take care of anything else.

It was thanks to the conservatism of the Northern Expeditionary Army that the Paving Ant Barbarian State avoided fighting on both sides and was able to stop the mysterious ants with all its might.

The eastern border, which was originally unstable and required a certain number of troops to garrison, was greatly reduced by the sweep of the forest area by mysterious ants last autumn, which wiped out a large number of indigenous Japanese black brown ants and black-headed sour ant tribes.

The remnants of the indigenous Japanese black brown ant and black-headed sour ant tribe are fighting for a large number of territories that have suddenly been vacated in the forest area, and there is no time to invade the territory of the paving ant barbarian country to fight the autumn wind.

The paving ant barbarian country was able to fight against the invaders with all its might, several times the territory of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and the potential for war to break out was terrifying, wave after wave, 100,000 and 100,000 troops were constantly gathered, and the protagonist was dumbfounded.

You must know that if there are no mysterious ants, if the protagonist leads the Divine Envoy King Legion to the north at that time, he will be the one who needs to face the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country. Does your own legion have the strength to annihilate so many and stubborn enemies?

At least the mysterious ants are not afraid of these paving ant army, although the number is only a dozen of the opposite, and the degree of organization is not high, but the mysterious ants are more fierce than the paving ants, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is off the charts, and they can even take the initiative to attack under the siege of the enemy.

The strength of both sides is like that of a large group of human troops besieging a small group of xenomorphs, and the side with fewer numbers has the advantage.

The north bank of the Great River has been reduced to the Shura field, and every day is a great battle, and tens of thousands of soldiers die on the battlefield in the wilderness every day.

Most of the losses belonged to the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, so much so that the Paving Ant Barbarian Army was killed and wounded too quickly, which greatly reduced the logistical pressure - many soldiers went on the road from their hometown's nest to their heart's nest, and after trekking to the battlefield, they were already killed before they could survive the next time they replenished their food.

The five-figure casualties per day, whether it is the Divine Envoy King Legion or the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom, are difficult to bear for a long time.

However, the vast territory and faster reproduction of the paving ant barbarian country seems to be able to withstand it for now, and every day there are enough reinforcements to replenish the battle damage from all over the battlefield, and all the nests are still working at full speed to breed new ants and gather food.

Ants bite elephants to death, not to mention that mysterious ants are not invincible elephants, they are temporarily contained.

But the protagonist also knows that this stalemate on the battlefield, which relies on huge attrition, can be broken at any time because one side cannot support it.

Taking advantage of the stalemate on the north bank of the Great River, the protagonist needs to accelerate the integration of forces on the south bank of the Great River.

Now the only thing on the south bank of the Great River that has the ability to pose a certain threat to the Divine Envoy King's legion is the parasitic ants.

The protagonist himself flies to [Southern City] and learns that after the beginning of spring, the parasitic ants frequently leave the swamp again and harass the mountain woodland occupied by the indigenous scythe hunter ant tribe.

With a winter respite, the surviving tribe of indigenous scythe-hunting ants was able to rally their own clan and form an alliance after the beginning of spring. Under the blows of the Hunter Scythe Ant Alliance, the small army of the first few waves of parasitic ants quickly collapsed.

But then the parasitic ant army that left the swamp and entered the mountains began to grow in size, and as many as a thousand parasitic ants began to attack in groups.

Although the number of the Hunter Scythe Ant Alliance is also in the thousands, it is enough to deal with enemies several times their size. But no one knows when there will be an army of parasitic ants of the scale that these scythe-hunting and fierce ant alliances can hardly parry.

The indigenous Scythe Hunters have begun to contact their fellow tribes further afield, and at the behest of the protagonist, Kite and a small group of fifty Scythe Warriors have joined in.

Due to the complexity of the Hunter Ant's alliance, no native ant will be suspicious - although some tribes are surprised that the kite can command as many as fifty warriors as a male ant. After all, in the scythe hunting ant clan, the status of the male ant who is not strong in combat is not high, and the one who can send fifty warriors to participate in the coalition must be a big tribe, and many hunting sickle ants can't understand that a powerful tribe would let the male ant serve as the leader of the army.

Fortunately, at the moment of the great enemy, the simple-minded indigenous scythe hunters did not bother with these problems, and the kite successfully took the undercover agent and continued to pass the information back to [Southern City].

It is reported that the indigenous scythe-hunting ant tribes whose territory is far away from the battlefield have also begun to respond to the coalition army's call, put aside the small disputes between the tribes, and gather little by little, ready to deal with the threat of the parasitic ant army that has not been encountered for many years. Even the legendary tribes of the hills, who were said to be able to restrain parasites, responded to the call.

There are already signs of intensifying fighting in the hilly areas.
