As long as they could find an open field where the shadows of the dense foliage and the occasional mist, the trails of sunlight could shine through the dense foliage and the occasional mist, forming round spots on the ground, and a horde of Destroyers would surround them.

They take turns stretching their bodies under the sun, allowing the sunlight to dispel fatigue and discomfort in their bodies, which is their habit.

The average destroyer didn't like the gloomy swamp at all, and the sunny wilderness was better suited to them.

It wasn't until all the Destroyers had basked in the sun that the Destroyer Commander urged his men to continue on their way.

It is precisely because of the constant need for the sun that the Destroyer army is slow to move.

On the march, the Radar Destroyer was still at the front of the line, its tentacles searching, looking for a target with its faint senses.

There is something about this swamp, or rather behind it, that attracts the radar destroyer.

Walking through the twisting path between the two pools, the next obstacle in front of the Destroyer was a piece of rotten wood that fell in front of it.

The surface of the rotten wood is covered with moss, and there is a slippery surface formed by long-term corrosion. The Radar Destroyer is not good at climbing, and its massive body and long tentacles that get in the way are a liability.

The Destroyer had to push and pull to get the big man to flip over the slippery log.

After walking for a while, there was no road ahead, and the muddy mud swamp covered the area as far as the eye could see.

The Destroyer's large force stopped, and a small force had to be sent to explore the way.

The Destroyers groped on the surface of the ground, which was dark during the day, and encountered a sneak attack by an unknown beetle hiding in a mud pit, and finally killed each other, but two Destroyers were deep in the mud puddle, unable to struggle, and soon wrapped in mud and unable to save themselves.

It took a certain price for the Destroyers to find a complex path of vines and shrubs to climb over the mire.

The Destroyers had been roaming the area for days, and had already made their way through the swampy jungle at a normal pace. But the complicated terrain makes them still deep in the middle.

I don't know how much time passed, several rounds of days and nights, and the radar destroyer finally sensed a strong signal.

The Destroyers paused, and a small, near-square, leafy hill appeared in front of them.

In front of the hill, in a huge cave of a black hole, there was a constant murmur of "Xi Xi Suosuo".

The Destroyers did not hesitate, and immediately marched into the dark cavern, as if they had stepped into the entrance to hell.

I'm the dividing line

The protagonist doesn't know what is happening in the untouched swampy jungle not far to the north.

He continued to oversee the attack on [Swirling Flower City], but the slow progress made him frustrated.

After the blasting tactics didn't work too well, the protagonist reduced the amount of blasting in order to save the precious mystery orb.

Instead, detonate one or two mystery balls at a time, loosen a piece of land slightly, and then the warriors of the king go up to dig up the dirt, dig some new passages, and lure some nearby destroyers to come outside and kill them.

The efficiency of the siege can be imagined, and after two days, on April 10th, the besieging Divine Envoy King army had killed a total of a hundred destroyers, and only by blasting and excavating destroyed about one-tenth of the area near the surface of the [Vortex Flower City].

If you want to completely conquer [Spiral Flower City], it seems that it is still very early.

The protagonist didn't expect that the nest that the Destroyers couldn't hold on to would be so difficult, and the Divine Envoy King's army was completely unable to cope with such a battle.

Perhaps, in the future, some siege weapons will have to be developed. The weapons needed to attack the ants' underground nests are different from the siege weapons of humans, which gives the protagonist another headache.

As the siege dragged on, the food for the king's army began to run out.

All the military rations that had been hoarded in [Sitong City] had been transported to the camp, but they were almost exhausted.

The road that continues to transport grain from the main nest [Qingqiu City] to the front line through [Sitong City] is the lifeline of the army of the Divine Envoy King, although the transportation capacity of the transport team has increased greatly with beetles and packages, but there is also a large army stationed in [Qingqiu City], and the grain stock is rapidly declining at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there are not many that can be squeezed out and provided to this side.

With about a week or two to go before the first harvest and the first harvest of grass seeds from the farms, ants everywhere are now relying on honeydew and the most primitive gathering and hunting to supplement their food.

In order to alleviate the logistical pressure, the protagonist has to divide many besieging troops to forage for food nearby.

The reason why [Spiral Flower City] got its name is because there is a large sea of swirling flowers around it. This sea of flowers, which was a withered stalk in the winter, has now revived, and although it has not yet bloomed, the grass is green.

This sea of flowers is home to many insects that can overwinter here.

The god who was short of food made the king's warriors form a long queue, sweeping the border like a nail rake, and even surrounded a large sea of flowers and pushed inside. Except for those that can fly, most of the others fall prey.

But even this will not be enough to make up for all the food shortfalls.

Ants even began digging up the roots of the mulch, which is a pothole-like taro-like thing that contains a certain starch but does not taste good, and ants do not eat this on weekdays.

But now there is a shortage of food, and the ants can only dig up the grass roots, clean them, and cut them open.

Many fighters were given a small piece of grass roots, and laboriously grinded it into a paste with their large jaws and mouthparts, overcoming the bitter taste and swallowing it to replenish their strength.

It's not a problem to eat grass roots for a long time, and the protagonist asks the flying knights to go to each sub-nest to inquire about the status of grain storage, and finally finally put together a batch of military food, waiting for the transport team to arrive.

The protagonist looks at [Spiral Flower City] from afar, and the land enclosed by the walls of the siege is already full of messes, the surface of the potholes are full of traces of explosion and excavation, and the underground nests and passages are exposed everywhere.

But the protagonist has no way to take the destroyers hidden inside, they can't hold on, so that the protagonist can't get out and can't destroy the other party.

How much the protagonist is now looking forward to a rainfall, so that the long wall of the siege is like a dike, and a few aqueducts can be built to direct all the nearby rainwater to the [Spiral Flower City] for water attack.

The Divine Envoy King's Legion has basically completed the relevant projects, but the spring rain has not fallen.

This season, there is only a sporadic precipitation in the early spring, and the plants are more dependent on the meltwater from the winter snowfall to grow.

The protagonist suddenly realizes that there is really very little precipitation this year!
