After some meetings and strict restraints, the next day's march was a lot of peace of mind for the protagonist, and there was no trouble in making any trouble.

Coupled with the fact that the road was smooth and there were no road blockages, the army finally began to advance at a normal pace, and it took a day for the well-fed warriors to reach a large lair located in the northeast of [Sitong City], about half a day's journey from [Sitong City].

This lair is the location and grain station chosen by the protagonist, and it is also the place where Rambofei's army is notified to come and rendezvous.

There is currently no Destroyer nuisance here, and the Destroyer's cordon has recently been more than an hour's walk away.

The army stopped here and expanded its lair and settled down, except for a part of the troops that were sent out to scout or hunt, and most of the warriors waited quietly for the troops from [Dongyang City] to converge.

Before evening, a large-scale transport team from the main nest [Qingqiu City] finally arrived with a batch of precious grain.

This convoy has been reborn, no longer ordinary worker ants carrying grain all the way, but some small beetles that are not suitable for battlefield, carrying storage baskets woven with rattan, which can carry dozens of ants at a time. Common ants also have packages woven with ant silk to load grain, and their transportation capacity has increased significantly.

It is here that the protagonist also receives a message from the main nest about the swampy area, where the Flying Knight reports that the ants have found something unique next to the skull stone in the roundbread hills.

Judging by the packet, it is a rectangular object with heavy rust marks on the surface, indicating that the object is metallic.

The shape of this thing is too regular, and it is likely to be an artifact, and the ants will report this information.

The protagonist decides to wait for the battle to settle down and take the time to go to the swamp to see what this thing is.

In addition, the flying knights in the swamp area said that due to the cold temperature in the area, spring has just started recently.

After the beginning of spring, the parasitic ants have begun to move, and there are constantly parasitic ants and parasitic war beasts operating on the periphery of the territory of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and the enemy is likely to attack in the near future.

In addition, as the temperature warms up, a large number of dragonflies and damselflies begin to appear in the swamp area, and the flying knights must fly in groups because of the danger of flying in the air.

The protagonist orders the Flying Knights of the Great Worker Ants stationed in [Great Lakes City] to move to the swamp area to strengthen the air power in the area.

Then let Rambovan in the swamp area be on close guard, he doesn't have the strength to send too many troops to support the swamp area now, at most let [Dongyang City] allocate some supplies, and then successively transport the 11th Legion of the Scorpion and the 12th Legion of the Spider Wolf who are currently stationed in [Great Lakes City] by walnut boats.

Rambovan only needs to hold on to his current territory, with four elite troops and a few ballistas, he should not miss anything.

When he regains the lost territory on the south bank of the Great River, the protagonist plans to completely pacify the parasitic ant forces in the swamp area and put an end to the two-front battle.

The protagonist originally thought that he would be able to pacify the swamp area last year, but the strength and combat effectiveness of the parasitic ants there far exceeded expectations, resulting in 4 elite legions now having to get out, which has to be said to be a mistake.

However, the march into the swamp also covered the area of [Nanbu City] and [Dongyang City], protecting this rich and vital territory from being poisoned by the parasitic ants of the Hunter Scythe Ant Alliance.

It is impossible to judge which is right and which is wrong, and which is the gain or which is the loss.

I'm the dividing line

The next day, on April 4 on the protagonist's calendar, the army of the Divine Envoy Wang, who was stationed in the northeast of [Sitong City], converged with the army of Commander Lan Bofei from [Dongyang City] at noon.

Now the army has a total of 36 legions and 90,000 soldiers, and the food can last for three days.

The protagonist has his troops take their final rests and prepare to set off the next day to take on the Destroyer.

While waiting for the [Dongyang City] army, the Divine Envoy King Legion was not idle, and a large number of scythe-hunting ant scouts, as well as some legions responsible for support, had already fought with the Destroyers.

The Divine Envoy King's legion mainly wanted to find out the enemy's troop allocation, after all, the shrubs and long grass around [Sitong City] were dense, and the reconnaissance of the flying knights could not completely replace the reconnaissance on the ground.

The Destroyers, in particular, also like to camp in the bushes and grass, where they can hide well from aerial scouts.

In addition, the Divine Envoy King's legion also hopes to open up contact with [Sitong City] and inform the defenders of the arrival of reinforcements, and it is best to be able to flank the besieging destroyers from the outside.

However, the Destroyers also seem to have sensed the arrival of the Divine Messenger King's army, and according to the Flying Knights, the Destroyer troops still stationed in the area of [Spiral Flower City] are pulling out their camp and hurrying to [Sitong City].

In addition, the Destroyer has also set up an impenetrable warning net on the periphery of [Sitong City], and even the mobile and agile Scythe Hunter Ant Warrior has not found a gap, and there is no way to get close to [Sitong City] to contact the defenders.

On the 4th, the entire periphery of [Sitong City] was full of gunsmoke, and there were skirmishes between the two sides everywhere.

A few Destroyers stopped a squad of Scythe Hunters who were scouting, and the Scythe Hunters bullied the enemy and quickly surrounded them, not at all afraid to face enemies larger than themselves.

In the Legion of the Divine Envoy King, the Scythe Hunters were already the most combat-ready units in their individual combat, but in this siege, the elite Scythe Hunter Scout warriors paid seven lives to kill four enemies.

Another Destroyer squad was even more unlucky, crashing head-on into a dozen Destroyers, and the commander of this squad jumped over in spite of his bravery, trying to kill the closest enemy with his jaws and stingers.

But before her comrades could help, she saw a flash of cold light, and the Destroyer's jaws snapped together like lightning, and the reckless commander was already in a different place.

The other Destroyers lost their command and did not do much to entangle, and immediately dispersed, and the Destroyers did not pursue and continued to hold the line.

There are also local battles that are becoming more and more intense.

When the Scouts and Destroyers of the Divine Envoy King's Legion encountered, and both sides fought to the death and could not eat each other, the troops of the two nearby sides continued to pour over like firewood, making the fire burn more and more.

In the largest battle, the Destroyer invested hundreds of troops, and on the side of the Divine Envoy King's legion, a legion that was on guard nearby pressed the whole way. However, this regiment lacked combat experience, suffered more than half of the casualties, and was withdrawn only in the evening.

At the end of the day, the Divine Envoy King's Legion had lost thousands of warriors, and the casualties of the Destroyer were also hundreds, and this was just a test before the decisive battle.

With the Divine Legion of the King sending out the forces that have made history, and the Destroyers have also gathered thousands of troops, this battle is bound to leave the corpses in the mountains and valleys and the blood flowing away!
