There are only a few hundred wasps in total, and excluding those responsible for containment and hovering in the air, there are only a hundred that actually attack the army of paving ants.

However, the army of paving ants did not stop marching in the face of any other fierce insects, except for this time when they had to stop and organize their defenses.

Paving ants have apparently had a painful experience before taking such a defensive measure. Later battles also showed that such measures were necessary, because the lethality of these hundreds of wasps alone was already terrifying.

Not only do the Vespas have air superiority, they can constantly dive to tear through the tight formation of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, and their strength and agility are far superior to those of the ants.

As soon as a small group of paver ants is forced to separate from a large group, the wasps will immediately launch a siege on these stray paver ants to prevent them from returning to formation.

Under the attack of the larger, more powerful and agile wasps, these paver ants who were forced to leave the pack were quickly slaughtered, and could not even cause effective damage to the wasps.

To make matters worse, other predators will not continue to attack as long as they are full, but wasps are insatiable.

Or maybe they're too well trained, and they're not in a hurry to satisfy their appetites on the battlefield, which would delay the moment.

Instead, they take the time to chew up the slain pavement ants and make them into "lumps" that they transport back to their nests.

In this way, the wasps do not need to waste time feeding on the battlefield, and after transporting the "meat balls" back to the nest, they can quickly return and continue to participate in the hunt.

The Paving Ant Barbarian Army suffered heavy losses under this blow from the air, and the trajectory of the fast-flying wasp was not something that the poor-eyed Paving Ants could grasp, so the Paving Ant Warrior's counterattack was heroic, but it was also blind.

Venets are not without casualties, some unlucky wasps are sometimes caught by one or two paving ant warriors in the process of pinning down or diving, most of the wasps can shake their bodies to drop the paving ants, but there are always some paving ant warriors who successfully climb the wasps' backs and attack the roots of their fragile wings.

When the wasp is temporarily unable to take off due to injury or pain, the heroic paving ant warriors naturally do not give up this opportunity, and they swarmed up and tore the hapless wasp to shreds.

Overall, however, the wasps have completed one successful hunt after another, with minimal losses of their own.

Where is the protagonist at this time? He took the Flyhawk and the Praying Tiger to a stop on the trunk of a tree a little farther away, observing the battle from afar.

The reason why he doesn't plan to leave is because the protagonist estimates that this group of wasps has caused thousands of losses to the Paving Ant Barbarian Army at most, and it will not stop the Paving Ant Barbarian Army from continuing to advance. The protagonist thinks that when the killing is over, he can continue to follow the Paving Ant Barbarian Army to solve the mystery.

But he made two mistakes that led to himself being put in danger soon as well.

The first, he is a little closer to the battlefield.

The location where the reconnaissance team is now located has been selected, and it is a few meters away from the battlefield.

Considering that insects generally have poor eyesight, and the forest is dimly lit, and the colors of the protagonists and their mounts are not conspicuous, it stands to reason that they should be relatively safe.

In the distance, the wasps in charge of guarding never spotted the reconnaissance team hiding in the trunk of the tree.

However, this distance is too close for the eyesight of the fly, the mount of the reconnaissance team.

The second mistake is that the protagonist overestimates how tame his mount is.

The main mounts of human domestication, like horses, were also often used in warfare. Horses are delicate and sensitive animals, and the noise, fire, and smoke on the battlefield will make the horses uncomfortable, and the unqualified horses will run wildly and do not listen to the command.

But trained horses will ignore these distractions and dare to charge at enemy positions under artillery fire.

But the flying knights of the Scout team ride different flies.

Flies are just as sensitive, and unlike horses, which have been domesticated for thousands of years, flies have only just been "domesticated" in the hands of the protagonist.

This "domestication" has to be put in quotation marks, because it is not domestication in the full sense of the word. Exactly, it is a kind of symbiotic agreement between the ant and the fly, the ant provides the food, and the fly agrees that the ant rides on their back, and that's it.

As for the flying knights using the reins to control the movement of their mounts, this is not the result of intentional training, but the reins are tied to the fly's balance bar, which is precisely through the balance bar to adjust the flight attitude.

In other words, the flying knight's control over the fly is more of an imposed external control, unlike the human knight over the horse, where the knight gives the command and the horse understands and executes it.

As a result, these fly mounts are very unstable, and by the time the scout team stops lurking, they have effectively relinquished control of the flies for a short period of time.

During the time when the flies were able to act on their own, their good eyesight saw terrifying creatures roaming not far away.

Those terrifying creatures are wasps, their brightly colored bodies, the color of warning, and the nightmare of most insects.

Suddenly, frightened, the Flyhawk's mount jumped up and fled in the direction it came, and by the time the Flyhawk reacted to control the mount to stop, they had already been spotted.

Wasp colonies have always had a section of wasps guarding the perimeter, and when the scouts hid on tree trunks, they found no anomalies.

However, when the Flyhawk's mount is frightened and flees, it triggers the dynamic vision of the wasps, and the two wasps immediately fly towards this direction to drive the Flyhawk away.

Once the wasp discovers that the fly eagle cannot escape, this drive can also be turned into a hunt at any time.

The protagonist sees two wasps coming towards them, and immediately exclaims that the Fly Eagle has regained control of its mount, and when the fly's balance bar is commanded from outside, it will carry out without thinking.

But now the Flyhawk's eyesight is too short to see that the wasp has set his sights on him, and he is returning to the lurking place, and is crashing into the wasp's bloody jaw.

The protagonist made a quick decision, he leaned over, had a brief tentacle communication with the mantis tiger next to him, and gave the order over.

The protagonist and the mantis tiger hold on to the reins, take control of their mounts, and wait for their moment.

Soon, the wasp flew over the trunk of the tree where the scout team was lurking, and struck the Flyhawk not far ahead, but the Flyhawk was not aware of the danger......

When the two wasps fly past the scout, the protagonist suddenly moves, and as soon as he pulls the reins, Xiaoqing II leads the protagonist to the side towards the wasps facing him.

And the praying tiger followed, and together they launched a surprise attack on the two wasps!
