Just knowing the whereabouts of the parasitic ants is not the main concern of the protagonist, these strange enemies are like plagues or zombies, as long as there is a certain space, they can resurrect.

What the protagonist needs is the latest movement of these parasites.

According to the information provided by the local scythe hunters, the local scythe ant tribes are connecting in tandem, because some tribes have found that in the valley swamp in the south, scattered parasitic ants have been coming out recently.

The scythe ants do not like the watery environment, and since there are other ants in the swamp, the scythe ants only have a few tribes in the mountains and forests north of the swamp.

It is these tribes that provide early warning of abnormal movements of parasites in the swamp.

Since the beginning of spring this year, parasitic ants have left the swamp one after another, moving in groups of thirty or fifty to the surrounding mountains and forests, groping and spreading in all directions like a vanguard force.

Among these parasitic ants, there are three types of ants: hunting sickle ants, big-headed ants and some kind of hairy ants.

The scythe ant is naturally from the local infected natives, the big-headed ant may be from the ones that were expelled by the protagonist, and the hairy ant is the native ant of the local swamp.

Hairy ants, the most common ant group on the earth, prefer humid and cold environments, and are widely distributed in the northern hemisphere.

Most hairy ant species are about the size of big-headed ants or paver ants, and worker ants are usually between 2-4 mm long, use large jaws for hunting, and have formic acid weapons.

The body color of hairy ants varies from yellow to black, with darker colors for above-ground and lighter colors for underground-active species. Some species of hairy ants establish colonies by temporarily parasitic nests of other ants, while some species of hairy ants have the habit of tending and transporting homoptera. The hairy ant is also a very old ant species, having persisted since the Tertiary period, and is one of the oldest genera of ants that have survived to this day, and there is only a small visible evolution of modern hairy ants compared to their ancient ancestors.

There are many types of hairy ants, and the protagonist naturally can't tell the difference, if there is an antiologist here, he will definitely recognize that these hairy ants infected by parasitic bacteria are bright hairy ants.

The bright hairy ant is a larger body in the hairy ant, and the body length of the worker ant is generally 4.0-6.0mm, which is already larger than the soldier ant of the big-headed ant, of course, it is much smaller than the hunting sickle ant, the Japanese bowback ant or the mysterious ant on the north bank of the river.

These bright ants have a bright black carapace, yellowish-brown limbs, and the characteristic sparse pubescence of the genus Mao, as well as scattered erect hairs on the back of the body.

The antlets often inhabit moist, organic-rich swampy areas and low-lying grasslands. It feeds mainly on the juice of herbaceous plants and honeydew secreted by aphids, but also catches small insects, and often forms a long foraging queue.

They are less inclined to dig in the soil to make nests, which may be related to the high water table in the swampy areas where they live. Nests are usually built in standing or fallen logs, and occasionally at tree roots, under rocks, or in the soil. The nest ** often has multiple queens, and the wedding flight occurs from May to October.

It's not too important to have one more kind of ant in the parasitic ant, and the protagonist himself now has three kinds of ants: big-headed ants, paving ants and hunting sickle ants, and the combination of troops is more reasonable. At least the bright hairy ant is not as active in winter as the paver ant, and its combat skills are lacking in addition to formic acid.

However, the resurgence of parasitic ants is not good news in itself, and the terrifying infectious power of this parasitic bacterium is like a bomb that can explode at any time, and it is easy to cause disaster.

Reminiscent of the two parasitic ant infections that were discovered by the Legion of the Divine Envoy King in the territory of the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom, the infected ants eventually wanted to move south. In the war with the parasitic ants, although the parasitic ants fled all the way, they were also firmly advancing south.

Is their final destination this swamp south of the hills? Why did they go to this swamp?

Now, what does it mean that these parasitic ants are starting to break out of the swamp and spread to the surrounding area?

The protagonist feels that his head is a little big, the mysterious ants in the north, the parasitic ants in the south, these existences are beyond his previous knowledge reserves, and he secretly feels that there is some connection between the two, but the inspiration is erratic, and he can't grasp it.

Fortunately, the mysterious ants in the north are blocked by large rivers and cannot threaten themselves temporarily, while the parasitic ants in the south even if they invade on a large scale, there are hunting sickle ants in the hilly areas to block them - these hunting sickle ants regard parasitic ants as a feud, and they are eager to get rid of them quickly, and they will never release water.

The protagonist decides to speed up the formation of the team of big worker ant flying knights, and first place a team of fifty knights of the flying knight army in the "Southern City" to continuously monitor the movements of the parasitic ants, which can be regarded as an early warning means.

- I'm the dividing line -

The gaze returns to the battlefield.

In the end, the rolling army was not able to conquer the second brother's sub-nest on May 11 as scheduled.

Although Rambotu had worked hard to break through the defense lines established by the enemy underground, before dark, the second senior brother still led the last thousand remnants of the army to defend the queen's dormitory at the bottom of the nest.

Rambo originally wanted to lead the troops to fight overnight, and this unconventional way of fighting was only good at the Legion of the Divine Envoy King, which was cultivated by the protagonist.

But the rollover received orders from the protagonist and had to veto the proposal.

According to the Flying Knight's urgent report, the enemy is coming sooner than expected. There are several places near here that the Vice-Nest has put together a reinforcement army, numbering about one or two thousand, which has not been discovered by the Flying Knight before, and is now only half a day's journey from here, and will be there tomorrow morning.

Although Roll is not afraid of this small force, if most of the troops are too tired from fighting overnight, it is easy to increase casualties in the subsequent battles.

After all, behind this first group of enemy reinforcements, there are also the forwards of the main force of the enemy army from the north to the south, and the military strength of the various sub-nests has been converged all the way, and there are already seven or eight thousand people, and it only takes a little more than a day to reach here.

Further back, there is a large army of the enemy.

Although the enemy's refueling tactics gave the Divine Envoy King's legion the possibility of defeating each of them. But equally, such tactics can also delay the rolling troops, making them unable to continue attacking the "real main nest".

It can be said that the second senior brother has successfully completed his mission, and he used his perseverance to sabotage the plan of the Divine Envoy King Legion to smash the Yellow Dragon and conquer the "real main nest".

It is obviously unwise to continue the attack, even if you break through the secondary nest in front of you, it will not be too late to conquer the "real main nest".

The protagonist has already asked the Flying Knight to roll and prepare to retreat, not to fight the main enemy in a decisive battle.

Now, the Legion of the Divine Messenger has decided to carry out a backup plan.
