Because the individual tribes of the nearby indigenous scythe-hunting ants were too weak and showed no signs of union, the strength of any one legion was enough to deal with warriors in one direction.

Based on this, the protagonist plans to have three legions start sweeping operations in three directions at the same time, completing the set tasks with maximum efficiency.

The 1st Army attacked due south, the 2nd Army to the southeast, and the 3rd Army to the east.

In the first stage, the protagonist asks the three legions to completely wipe out all the scythe ant tribes within half a day's distance of the "Southern Fortress". The next stage is to clear the enemy forces that are threatening within a day's journey.

Within half a day's distance, the indigenous tribe of hunting sickle ants has a range that is large enough to threaten the large-headed ants operating in the territory of the "Southern Fortress".

The indigenous tribes that formed the coalition to attack the "Southern Fortress" were basically scythe hunters living in this area.

After Rambovan's counteroffensive, some of the indigenous tribes were forced to migrate despite defeating the indigenous coalition. However, most of the fleeing and undamaged tribes continue to live on the land, and will still carry out small-scale raids, much to the annoyance of the defenders of the Southern Fortress. There are more than a dozen such tribes, with a total strength of thousands.

Because of this, the protagonist did not hesitate at all when he attacked the indigenous scythe hunting ant tribe in this area, and he did not allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

This time, in order to prevent the battle from turning into a rout again, and unable to completely destroy these nimble and stubborn jungle warriors, the Divine King's legion made all preparations.

In the sky, the unrestricted flying knights circled the designated area for reconnaissance days in advance, reporting the location of the nests of each target tribe to the legion commander.

After learning the information, in order to be able to catch all the targets, the Divine Envoy King's army set out before dawn, and then concentrated its forces to launch a surprise attack on the nearest natively nest.

At this time, the sky is just dawning, and the hunting sickle ant, which relies on visual hunting, is used to moving during the day after the sun has fully risen, that is, at seven or eight o'clock in the morning of human time.

Due east, in the encirclement and suppression area of the Third Legion, dozens of warriors of the first indigenous Sickle Hunting Ant Tribe all gathered in the nest**, and were blocked underground by the Third Legion, and none of them escaped.

Subsequently, the Third Army made a rapid march and attack on the second target, and also successfully completed its mission.

When the sky was completely bright, and the flying knights signaled that there were already enemies in the target tribe to go out, the Third Legion stopped the offensive.

The situation is similar in the other two directions, the three army corps have basically completed about half of the battle plan, and the remaining objectives will be left for tomorrow.

The indigenous tribes of scythes and ants are territorial to each other, and their boundaries are marked with strong-smelling excrement, and neighboring tribes rarely cross the border.

Therefore, the news of the demise of these indigenous tribes will not be discovered by other hunting sickle ant tribes for the time being, making them vigilant.

Taking advantage of the gap during the day, the three legions on the mission carried the spoils while resting.

In the nests of the captured indigenous scythe-hunting ant tribes, the captured food is pitiful, and the protagonist does not bother to use the corpses of his opponents as rations, so the biggest catch is a batch of ant eggs, larvae, and ant pupa.

These juvenile ants will have no memories of their tribe when they reach adulthood, and as long as they are raised by the protagonist's nursery worker ants, they will see themselves as part of the Divine Messenger King's legion, and the protagonist's long-coveted plan to use the Scythe Hunting Ant as an army scout will be realized.

Of course, the protagonist prefers to subdue an alien queen, just as he did when he subdued the Black Pearl. In this way, you can not worry about the source of soldiers for many years. After all, the protagonist can't launch a raid against the indigenous scythe-hunting ant tribe every time there is a lack of scouts.

But the scythes are very fierce, even if they are surrounded by a large army, they have to fight to the death, and even the queen ant dares to drag her bloated and inflexible body to pounce and bite like an ordinary warrior.

The Divine Legion could not capture the Scythe Ant Queen alive as the protagonist had planned, so they had to kill it.

The ferocity of the scythe hunting ant is deeply rooted in genes, not only the queen ant and ordinary warriors, but even the juvenile ant can also embody this characteristic.

Leaving aside the immovable eggs and pupae that cannot be moved, the feeding of the larvae of the hunting sickle ant is also different.

The larvae of big-headed ants and paver ants are completely dependent on the feeding of adult worker ants (nursery worker ants) and live a life of food and mouths. Nursery workers must spit out the half-digested liquid food from their stomachs and feed it to the young ants who are waiting to be fed.

The return of the young ants is to be able to spit out ant gum and ant silk formed after ant gum oxidation when needed, both of which are important raw materials, such as the silk bed used by the protagonist to sleep is made of ant silk.

However, the young ants are able to feed on their own. The nursery workers were surprised to find that the larvae were not interested in the liquid food they spit out, but rather a large-headed larvae that had climbed onto the scythe larvae by mistake, and was firmly grasped and quickly gnawed off half of its body.

The larvae will bow their bodies, trap their prey firmly in the depression of their abdomen, and then feed with mouthparts that are more developed than those of other species of larvae, just like adults, with amazing chewing ability and appetite.

The nursery worker ant who keeps the sickle larvae in the Southern Fortress tells the protagonist the news, and the protagonist has to change the way he keeps the sickle larvae and instruct the nursery workers to provide them with fresh meat.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of meat in the protagonist's territory, and the farm can provide a steady stream of mealworms and maggots, the former with a huge yield, and the latter with tender meat.

After being provided with two different foods, the nursery worker ants found that the scythe larvae were significantly more likely to eat maggots, probably because maggots were not only delicious, but also did not have a hard outer carapace like mealworms, which made them easier to chew and digest.

At present, only the farm of "Dongyang City" has fly maggots raised, mainly to breed fly mounts for flying knights, the production of edible fly maggots is not high, and the distance is long, it is not convenient to transport live maggots to the "Southern Fortress" every day, and the protagonist has to build a small fly maggot farm for these young ants in the "Southern Fortress".

It can be seen that the protagonist is very attentive to these underage hunting sickle ants.

If ambushing the paver ants is just an attempt, the paver ants don't actually bring much practical value to the protagonist. However, the Scythe Hunters are different, their good eyesight can effectively make up for the shortcomings of the other Divine Envoy King warriors except for the protagonist, and they are competent for the work of scouts.
