The offensive and defensive battle of the main nest of the Eastern Faction of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country did not last long.

After only two days, the Flying Knight detected that the resistance of the main nest had been suppressed, and the Destroyer no longer swarmed into the nest and began to withdraw.

At the same time, the destroyers of the brigade carried the corpses of the war dead, forming a continuous convoy of transports to the north. Obviously, the paving ant barbarian army stationed inside has been exhausted.

The protagonist once again orders a team of flying knights to follow the Destroyer's corpse caraver, trying to figure out what the Destroyer is using so many corpses for, and whether it is used as military rations.

Due to the very long duration of the corpse transport team this time, even if the destroyer is constantly transporting day and night, and the flying knights have to choose a place to rest at night, they will still not be thrown away.

At the same time, the protagonist also orders the two places [Bridgehead] and [Waterfront City] to enter a state of combat readiness.

After conquering the main nest of the Eastern Faction of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country and completely exterminating the Eastern Faction, the army of Destroyers gathered here will undoubtedly have only two directions of attack next.

One is to continue to attack the western faction of the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom to the west, and completely annex the Paving Ant Barbarian State. The other is to attack southward, and the troops are directed at the faction of the Great King's Council of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, as well as the [bridgehead] guarded by the Divine Envoy King's legion.

As for stopping the pace of expansion, the protagonist is not extravagant, the destroyer has shown its aggressive nature, and if they feed on ant carcasses, then only constant aggression can ensure food supplies.

The existence of such a ghould-eating race is simply the cancer cells in the healthy body of the ant civilization, constantly spreading and devouring healthy cells.

If at the beginning of the year, the protagonist still had plans to send troops north this year or next year to pacify the Paving Ant Barbarians and completely unify the basins on both sides of the river.

Now, at least for this year, the protagonist only hopes to resist the attack of the Destroyer across the river and keep the [bridgehead], the only remaining stronghold on the north bank of the river.

Once the Destroyer can't take advantage of the war and can't capture enough corpses, the protagonist is confident that the enemy will become weaker and weaker as he fights, creating the conditions for his own counterattack.

The clouds of war loomed over both sides of the river, and the territory of the Divine Envoy King's legion was also extremely busy, and the ant paths were crowded with convoys of goods coming and going, sending soldiers, food, supplies, etc. to the various nests along the river, especially to [Waterfront City] and [Bridgehead].

This year's newly built rope bridge between the [Waterfront City] and the [Bridgehead] is wider and more stable, which also reduces the loss of ants and materials caused by wind and shaking on the way to the river.

- I'm the dividing line -

After the Destroyers conquered the main nest of the Eastern Faction of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country, they did not continue to launch a new offensive in the first place.

After all, after such a large-scale battle, it is as strong as the army of the Destroyer, and it must also rest. And the corpse caravan to the north also took up a large number of troops.

The Flying Knights have observed an interesting phenomenon in which two types of ants have been found in the Destroyer troops, differing in size. In the combat troops, almost all of them are big Destroyer warriors, while the small-sized Destroyers are basically in the corpse transport team, and the tacit cooperation between the two is clear, and the division of labor is clear, which is quite a bit of a difference between soldier ants and worker ants within the Divine Envoy King Legion.

The team of flying knights who followed the corpse transport team to the north was finally forced to return, and they tracked all the way to the mountainous border in the north of the former paved ant barbarian country, where the terrain had risen sharply, and the temperature on the mountain was already very low, and the flying knights and mounts could not move in such low temperatures, and there were not many supplies left with them, so they had to go home.

Their tracking efforts yielded no further information, only to prove that a large number of corpses had been transported to the far north, perhaps the Destroyer's lair.

During the tracking operation, the Flying Knights were also nearly ambushed by the Destroyer.

Fortunately, there was a painful lesson from the previous ambush and heavy losses, this time the flying knights chose the location to stay overnight as far away from the ground as possible, and also left the flying knights on duty at night, so that they found the destroyer who came to attack at night in advance, and organized the transfer of the flying knight team in time.

But why do the Destroyers always find the Flying Knights who are following them? The protagonist can't guess this question, even if the Destroyers have good eyesight, it is not easy to find the location of the flying knight hidden in the dark of night to spend the night.

After the Flying Knight Scout Team returned, it was not until mid-October that the Destroyer troops assembled in the eastern part of the Ant Barbarian Country finally had a new operation!

- I'm the dividing line -

The protagonist is woken up by the Flying Knight's alarm, while he is catching up on sleep.

Two days ago, the four ballistas from [Dongyang City] finally arrived at [Linshui City] and [Bridgehead], and the protagonist took some worker ants to assemble the ballistas, and was busy training the soldiers who operated the ballistas, and he was very sleepless in the past two days.

Just as he was about to catch up on his sleep during the day, the three flying knights hurried back to the [bridgehead] and then made a beeline for the protagonist's temporary dormitory.

After the protagonist is called, he learns that the army of the Destroyer has been dispatched again!

The army of the Destroyer set out from the eastern nest of the original Paving Ant Barbarian Country, and the main nest of the Eastern Faction of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country that had been destroyed, and the troops were divided into two routes.

All the way to the west, the Destroyer army attacked the western faction of the Paving Ant Barbarians. All the way to the south, the Destroyer army is obviously targeting the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom King's Council faction, but [Bridgehead] is clearly within the reach of the enemy forces along this road, and may even bear the brunt.

The two armies each have tens of thousands of Destroyer warriors, which is a huge force enough to destroy cities and countries.

The Destroyer Division, who remained in the territory of the King's Council faction, has conquered almost all of the secondary nests, although they have not launched a general attack on [Target A].

There are no lairs controlled by the Destroyer, and there are only three places left for the main lair of the King's Council faction, [Target A], and [Bridgehead].

The Destroyer's divisional forces may have been under-manned and never attacked the three most fortified lairs.

But with the Destroyer's army approaching and a decisive battle looming, it seems that the flames of war on the north bank of the Great River will not stop until winter falls.

The protagonist immediately puts the whole army into battle.

At present, the [bridgehead] is full of supplies and large armies, including the 1st Army Corps, the 4th Army Corps of Rambotu, the 6th Army Corps of Rambose, the 13th Army of Ramborough II, and the newly formed 15th Army Corps and the 16th Army Corps, a total of 6 legions of tens of thousands of troops.

The commanders of the 15th and 16th Legions are both young and outstanding males in the same batch as Rambofo II, and the protagonist calls them "Persimmon" and "Pear".

The first large-scale battle with the army of the Destroyer is approaching!
