Shortly after the manticore's legion withdrew to the nearest nest, the rest of the nearby forces converged in the evening, guided by the Flying Knights and Scouts.

The Legacy Wing didn't pursue, and they didn't have enough time to pursue, and it was already early afternoon when the last battle ended. This also allowed the Legion of the Divine Envoy King to spend the night safely.

However, this secondary nest is located between the enemy and the main nest, Qingqiu City, and any commander in his right mind knows that this will soon become a battlefield, and no matter what day it is, war will always be inevitable.

The Flying Knight has already rushed back to the main lair to report to the protagonist, and before the Divine Messenger King's order is issued, Rambovan, as the oldest commander in the garrison, commands the entire army, and he orders the troops to be ready for battle in advance.

Of course, with Rambovan's character, he did not let the troops spend their energy on strengthening the lair defense, but let the troops eat and drink enough and recharge their energy - Rambovan fought the idea of field warfare.

- I'm the dividing line -

The protagonist receives the Flying Knight's report when the sun is about to set.

Regarding the fact that the Queen Ant's inheritance faction has become an enemy, the protagonist has psychological expectations, and even says that it is in his plan.

Recently, when fighting with the Queen Ant Inheritance faction for a neutral secondary nest, the Divine Envoy King Legion frequently provoked with the connivance and even instruction of the protagonist.

However, the protagonist also overestimates the opponent's ability to endure, and the purpose of this provocation is more to fight for new territory than to directly start a war.

If the opponent is the old-fashioned ones of the King's Council, they may be more patient, but the leaders of the Queen Ant's Inheritance faction obviously lack the most basic political literacy of "forbearance", and the speed of flipping the table is much faster than the protagonist expected.

But this is not entirely a bad thing, the previous protagonist's attitude towards the Queen Ant's inheritance faction was that there must be a battle in the future, but the previous alliance and the potential strength of the other party made him hesitate to make up his mind, and now, the other party helped him make up his mind.

The enemy has hit the door, and the protagonist doesn't have to be entangled, he can deal with them with one mind, with the current strength of the Divine Envoy King Army, it is not difficult to deal with these enemies whose combat effectiveness is not as good as the old-fashioned King Army.

It's just that the territory controlled by the enemy is vast and there are many ant mouths, so it is necessary to be mentally prepared for a long-term war.

In addition, the failure of the Flying Knights to detect the enemy's build-up in time also exposed the shortcomings that currently exist.

After the disappearance of the Fly Eagle and the large number of middle-level commanders such as the Praying Tiger, the Flying Knights have been in a state of shortage.

This also leads to the fact that the Flying Knight Force, which has increased its mission, is currently difficult to cover all the target areas, and it is easy to miss military information.

The protagonist does not currently want to expand the Flying Knight in the traditional way of male ants and fly mounts.

This is due to the fact that in the past, the Flying Knights often opposed the protagonist based on the male ant's own position, making him wary of this military group composed of pure male ants.

In addition, at present, the stalls of the Divine Envoy King Legion are getting bigger and bigger, and many places need male ants, so it is not a good choice to occupy a large number of valuable male ant places in the Flying Knight Army.

You know, even in the territory controlled by the protagonist, there is a limit to the amount of high-grade food that can be produced, and the number of male ants that can be fed is also limited.

In the future, the Flying Knight Force will inevitably continue to expand, but it is impossible to organize hundreds or thousands of male ants in it.

The protagonist's plan is to replace the male ant as a member of the Flying Knight with a large worker ant, although the large worker ant is not good at fighting, but the male ant is also not good at fighting, and the large worker ant has the same IQ and eyesight as the male ant, but consumes only half of the high-grade food of the male ant.

And as the class cultivated by the protagonist, the big worker ant has never been recognized by the mainstream society of the big head ant kingdom, and only has a place in the army of the god king, which is all thanks to the gift of the protagonist, and the interests of their class are firmly bound to the protagonist.

However, the protagonist also realizes that this move will definitely provoke resistance from the male Flying Knights, and he is waiting for a suitable moment.

At the same time, the protagonist also intends to reform the Flying Knight's mount.

In the past, the flying knights used flies as mounts, but the domestication rate of flies was low, and they were timid by nature and afraid of fighting.

As a result, even when armed with weapons, the Flying Knights rarely fought and were only used as couriers and heralds.

The protagonist's ideal new Flying Knight mount is the Bee. During the recent operation against the beehive outside "Dongyang City", the Divine Envoy King Legion has captured a queen bee and domesticated it in the underground hive next to "Dongyang City".

At present, this hive has hundreds of worker bees, and since they have lived with ants since childhood, they are also accustomed to ants and regard them as their own kind.

Moreover, bees are born to fight for their colony, even to the death, and there are bee needles, large jaws and bee venom as weapons, which are much stronger than flies.

The protagonist already has a plan for the future of the Flying Knights, and he waits for an opportunity to realize his vision.

But not now, the next war with the Queen Ant Inheritance faction is not comparable to the previous raid on the main nest "Qingqiu City" or the battle against the old-fashioned king's army, he doesn't want to make a fuss.

- I'm the dividing line -

The next day, the Divine Messenger King's legion was fully mobilized.

The legions of the Divine Envoy King, who had expanded their territory in various places, began to assemble in the main nest, and a large number of supplies were requisitioned, and the flying knights were the first to enter the secondary nest where Rambovan was.

Rambovan is also officially appointed by the protagonist as the temporary commander of the three legions, responsible for holding off the enemy forces and waiting for the order to assemble a large force for a counteroffensive.

The protagonist does not give particularly specific instructions, and how to complete the order should be decided by the unit commander himself, and the protagonist does not want to engage in remote command.

After waiting for the order, Rambowan immediately mobilized the only three legions at hand, and requisitioned half of the legion's garrison and corresponding supplies in the local sub-nest.

The local flying knights were dispatched, and they also took off to reconnoiter the enemy's movements under Rambovan's orders.

As expected by the protagonist and Rambovan, the main force of the Queen Ant Inheritance faction army that has been assembled will naturally not be satisfied with yesterday's small victory.

On the morning of the same day, the Queen Ant Inheritance faction army poured out of the nest and marched along the ant road in the direction of the main nest "Qingqiu City".

Judging from the information obtained from aerial reconnaissance, the enemy troops dispatched were more than 20,000 soldiers of more than a dozen legions, which was three times the strength of Rambowan's command.

And the first target in front of them is the secondary nest guarded by Rambovan.

According to the report of the Flying Knight, the enemy army was less than an hour away from this place, and Rambovan immediately ordered the three regular legions to go out to line up, and the temporarily conscripted garrison was to guard the nest ** as a follow-up.

Rambovan confidently prepares to defeat three times as many enemy forces as he does through an open field battle.
