Although the paver ants succeeded in bringing back some dried fruit from the fruit groves, this food is not resistant to consumption, and it is also specially supplied to male ants and queens, and ordinary worker ants are not entitled to eat it. Even if the restrictions are lifted, the amount of these fruits will not be enough to feed so many army of preach ants.

The food crisis that haunts the main nest of the paving ants has not been alleviated, but has only intensified as the army continues to assemble and the mysterious ants do not move.

For the next week, the mysterious ants continued to hover around [Purple Leaf Li City], turning a blind eye to the main force of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army that was close at hand.

At this time, the remaining three mysterious ants were still attacking, and the easternmost one of them had already reached the nest in the eastern region of the paving ant barbarian country.

In order to support the important eastern nest, and in order to alleviate the food crisis, the paving ant barbarian army had to divide its troops, and after leaving 300,000 troops in the main nest, the rest of the troops split up to support the other three battlefields, with the key goal of galloping to the eastern nest.

This also meant that the strategy developed earlier by the Paving Ant Barbarian Army was bankrupt - the previous plan of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army was to gather the main force in the main nest, use defensive warfare to weaken and eventually defeat the main force of the Mystic Ants, and then destroy the other three enemy forces.

Now, it can only be reversed first, and after repelling the rest of the armies, then devote ourselves to the decisive battle of the main force.

The battle on the north bank of the river is still as hot as the weather, but the protagonist's attention to this side is decreasing, and the flying knights are coming less and less.

This is because, with the growing formation of the walnut ship fleet, the time for an attack on the parasitic ants in the swamp area is just around the corner. The center of gravity of the Divine Legion has shifted here.

- I'm the dividing line -

The protagonist has been in [Great Lakes City] for more than a week, and now he rarely goes back to [Dongyang City], which is not far away.

More and more of the Divine Envoy King Legion are receiving their final water training here, and the Fourth Legion of Rambotu, as the first combat unit, has basically achieved its training goal.

In a few days, the walnut fleet will be formed, and now in this small inlet on the shore of the Great Lake, the "ant fleet" that has never appeared in this area has almost occupied all the peaceful harbors.

The bees in charge of towing the walnut fleet are also in place, and the ants have built new nests for these bees near [Great Lakes City].

Sixty walnut ships have all been completed, connected together by ropes and ant glue in a chain formation. Now, just wait for the soldiers and supplies to board the ship, and the fleet can set sail.

- I'm the dividing line -

July 24th, a day of unbearable heat. The protagonist estimates that it is Futian now, and there are very few heavy rains in the middle of summer this year, although it is not conducive to the grain harvest, but the calm weather is a very beneficial guarantee for the navigation safety of the fleet.

On this day, the walnut ship fleet officially set sail.

The protagonist and the twelve Flying Knights each ride fly mounts and hover through the air.

On the ground, Ramboto commanded the soldiers of the Fourth Legion to board the ship in turn. At this time, the walnut boats are connected into a single unit, and one-sixth of the boats are docked on the shore, and the ants can board these boats and reach the other walnut boats floating on the water through the rope bridge.

The Walnut Ship had enough food to feed the fleet for a month, as well as a lot of ant silk, ropes, beeswax and other materials for repairing the ship.

After all the fighters have boarded the ship and are in position, the protagonist has one of the Flying Knights notify the on-call towing Flying Knights group.

Led by a temporarily appointed team leader, a total of 180 Flying Knights controlled the bees to reach the target walnut ship, and with the assistance of the crew, the bees were connected to the ship with ropes.

Two-thirds of the Flying Knights then entered the cabin and stood by, while the other Flying Knights were responsible for three bees each, and began to fly forward in unison, pulling the walnut fleet into the water completely.

Thanks to the instinct of the bees to act in groups, the walnut ship fleet will not need to occupy one hundred and eighty flying knights at any given moment, which can account for sixty percent of the total number of flying knights of the Divine Envoy King Legion.

After all the ships on the shore of the walnut fleet were launched, the bees led the fleet out of the inlet. At this time, it happened to be headwind, and the sails on the ships did not dare to open, and the bees pulled the huge fleet against the wind, and flew very hard.

Fortunately, the entrance to the inlet was not far away, and after finally entering the waters of the Great Lake, the bees landed on their walnut boats to rest, and the wind was in the right direction, and the crew used ant silk to pull up the simple sails.

Under the wind, the walnut fleet moved a little by little to the northeast.

The protagonist has been riding Xiaoqing II to move with the fleet, this is the first voyage of the fleet, the previous plans are all conceived, whether the real voyage is smooth or not The protagonist has no bottom in his heart, he can only keep following and see Fang An.

Fortunately, the fleet sailed very smoothly, the waters of the Great Lakes were calm, the walnut ships were well sealed, the safety was good, and there were no accidents on the first day.

Towards dusk, the walnut fleet ended the day's voyage early, and under the tutelage of the bees, the fleet docked to the shore, and some of the outermost walnut ships of the fleet were brought to the shore by inertia, and then the whole fleet was fastened to the nearby plant stems by ropes to prevent them from being carried away by the currents and wind at night.

The ant warrior can rest overnight inside the walnut boat, but the inside of the boat, which has been swaying with the waves, is obviously not a good place to rest. According to the original plan, Rambotu took most of the soldiers off the ship and dug a temporary nest near the mooring place to rest.

Only a small number of fighters remained on the fleet.

As for the bees not being able to spend the night in the open, the Fourth Legion did not have enough time to dig up an underground nest large enough to hold one hundred and eighty bees for the night. The bees, under the manipulation of the Flying Knight, untied the ropes that connected the ship and flew back to [Great Lakes City] to rest.

Anyway, the walnut boat sailed for a day, and the bees flew there in ten minutes, and it would be good to fly back the next day.

Even if they do make it to their swamp destination, the bees will fly in less than an hour each way.

On the second and third days, the fleet moved on.

On the fourth day, the fleet reached the mouth of the stream, which flows into the Great Lake, where the water is reversed, and thanks to the exhausted efforts of the bees and the blessing of the wind, the walnut fleet successfully entered the stream and went upstream.

On the fifth day, the wind was not good, the current was against the wind, and the fleet had to stay on the shore for the whole day without advancing at all.

On the sixth day, there was a light rain, the wind changed in favor of navigation, and the fleet set out again.

On the eighth day, the fleet was finally close to its goal - the parasitic swamp!!

The protagonist's long-standing fear for the safety of navigation is put down, but another hard-fought battle is about to begin.
