Chapter 199: A Long Overdue Spring

When I returned, the cold wind was getting colder.

It's an unusual spring, and it's normal to have a cold spring, but it's not normal for the weather to be cold in mid-March, like a winter day.

Now, even the spring flowers and magnolia flowers that should have bloomed early are still just buds, not blooming yellow and white, and the leaf buds of other plants have already emerged, but they have not grown at enough temperature.

If this weather continues until the end of the month, a large number of plants and insects will freeze to death, and even if the Divine Envoy King's army has farms and farmland, the harvest of food will be greatly reduced! The protagonist returns to the main nest [Qingqiu City] with concerns about the climate.

What he didn't notice was a scene on the south bank of the Great River when he was returning home.

On the south bank of the Great River, near the river bank of [to the West City], there were also many Destroyers who were frightened by the earth-shattering explosion, and the Destroyer Commander could only suppress some of the Destroyers around him, and the other Destroyers could only wait for them to calm down and return to the team.

After all, it's a living being's instinct to escape the unknown and fear, and the Destroyer is no exception.

One of them, the Destroyer, was running around, and suddenly found something, with something warm, something very familiar.

It's a white egg, it's a nut shell, and if it's just a nut shell, the destroyer wouldn't take it so seriously. Inside the nut shell, the Destroyer senses and finds a mystery orb.

It was a tinder shell that failed to explode.

The nut shell can be torn apart if it explodes from the inside, but if the impact comes from the outside, its sleek ovoid shell can withstand extreme pressure without breaking.

When the tinder shells were detonated one after another, the flames in this tinder shell were very weak, and they were no longer enough to detonate the three mysterious balls inside.

In the explosions around it, the nut shell was blown to the south bank by the shock wave, and in the continuous flipping, two mystery balls fell out, leaving only one mystery ball in the nut shell, and at this time, the flames inside were finally completely extinguished.

The Destroyer explored, and soon turned around and found the Commander.

The commander carefully rubbed his tentacles against the nutshell, guarded by several Destroyers, and from time to time he looked at the river where the aftermath had not yet subsided.

If the protagonist was here, he could discern an emotion in the compound eyes of the Destroyer Commander—a thoughtful emotion.

- I'm the dividing line -

After the protagonist returns to [Qingqiu City], he quickly returns to [Trench City] against the wind, and his Praetorian Guard team has already settled here in advance.

After successfully blocking the possibility of the Destroyer crossing the river, the Destroyer on the south bank of the river is finally isolated, and it is time for the Divine Messenger King's army to close its doors and fight the dogs.

But now, with the arrival of another inverted spring cold, the counterattack can only stay in the brewing stage first, and the Divine Envoy King's legion still needs to defend the two strategic points of [Trench City] and [Sitong City] first, and then plot for others.

The protagonist has already set up a counterattack plan when he is in [Qingqiu City], just waiting for this cold spring to pass.

In the afternoon, the north wind gradually became stronger, a cold spring came as promised, and the temperature was close to zero o'clock, and the gods and warriors from all over the country hibernated again, but this time, they were dormant with vengeful anger.

The second inverted spring cold came and went faster, and the north wind had passed through in just one night, and on the third day, the humid air from the south returned in a big way, and a hearty spring rain watered the earth, and the breath of spring finally became stronger.

When the protagonist is in the lair, crosses out the date of March 18th, and then drills out of the hole in [Trench City], a moist and warm feeling hits his face.

In just two days, the green grass everywhere has been greedily rushing to sprout, the tender green grass carpet is spread all over the corner of the earth, all kinds of spring flowers are blooming, and the trees are belatedly beginning to sprout.

The protagonist admires the beauty of spring for a moment, and laments that spring and autumn are so fast, it is simply a scene in one day.

No matter how long it has been delayed, spring has finally officially arrived, and the counterattack plan of the Divine Envoy King Legion can also be put on the agenda.

In the past two days, the Destroyers did not come to take the opportunity to attack [Trench City], which the protagonist did not expect, so as soon as the weather improved, the protagonist was eager to understand the battle situation.

The flying knights of [Qingqiu City] have gone out to investigate, and when the protagonist came out of the cave, he looked up and saw the figures of several flying knights, and when they returned to report, they had to wait a little later, and the protagonist could only wait patiently.

The worker ants of [Trench City] have gone out in search of food, and the warriors of the Divine Envoy King have also set up a cordon in the wild.

Because the protagonist has to wait for the flying knight, he doesn't dare to move too far from the mouth, so he simply lies on a small piece of dried moss, with his back on the ground, his belly facing the sky and basking in the sun.

The protagonist suddenly wants to "Tempest", this jumping spider is also restless, staying underground in [Waterfront City] all winter, it is estimated that it is also suffocated, but it is a pity that the protagonist has to fly everywhere to command the war, and he has no time to take care of it, and other worker ants probably will not understand the lively and active needs of a jumping spider, and must still lock it in a small nest underground for it.

The protagonist thinks about it, and when he is ready to send a flying knight to give orders next time, he still asks [Waterfront City] to send a team to escort "Tempest" to [Qingqiu City].

- I'm the dividing line -

After noon, the Flying Knight had already passed on the summary of the military information.

To the protagonist's surprise, the main force of the Destroyers, which originally numbered more than 5,000 to the west of [Trench City], has disappeared without a trace, and is not attacking [Trench City] as originally expected.

Now there are only about two thousand destroyers left in place, divided into four groups, and they are basking in the wild en masse, but it is easy to count.

The Destroyers love to bask in the sun when they are not fighting and have sunshine, which makes it easier for the Flying Knights to scout.

In the case of paving ants or other ants, the flying knights can only estimate the number of ants moving on the ground first, and then multiply it by ten to roughly estimate the total number of ants in the nest**, so there are often deviations.

That is, it is easy to detect special ants such as the Destroyer, who are huge and do not see any foraging activities.

In addition, [Sitong City] is under attack by more than 3,000 Destroyers, but the Destroyers are blocked from the first line of defense, and a large number of Destroyers are crowded at the ground entrance to prevent them from entering.

The [bridgehead] on the north bank of the Great River was also attacked on a small scale, which was a full winter later than originally expected.
