The Flying Knights soon discovered that in the cold environment of late autumn, the proportion of large mysterious ants in the army of mysterious ants going out to invade was rapidly decreasing day by day, while the proportion of new small mysterious ants was rapidly increasing.

In stark contrast to the stiff movements of the large mysterious ants in the cold environment, these small mysterious ants move quickly and do not seem to be affected by the cooling brought by waves of cold air.

This is also very similar to paver ants.

Apparently, the drop in temperature is the direct cause of the rapid change in the ratio of the mysterious ants of both body types.

Although due to the climate, the Great Worker Ant Flying Knight no longer went to the distant Paving Ant Barbarian Country and the Northern Expeditionary Force of the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom to reconnoitre, but closely monitored the movements of the mysterious ants not far north of [Linshui City].

However, according to previous information, at this time of autumn, both big-headed ants, hunting sickle ants, Japanese black brown ants, and black-headed sour ants have significantly reduced their activities, and even when they go out, they have become sluggish and almost unable to walk, and can only move in a small area near the mouth of the nest.

Only the paver ants don't care, they can be active until the first snowfall. After that, as long as the weather is clear and there is sunlight to replenish the heat, they can still maintain basic field mobility.

The protagonist previously thought that this was the racial ability of the paver ants of this world, and he had never seen ants in the human world that could move in winter.

However, the small scale of the mysterious ants also exhibits this trait, which really surprises the protagonist.

The origin of the mysterious ant was already an unsolved mystery, and now several new mysteries have emerged around the ant.

What is the relationship between these little mysterious ants and the big mysterious ants?

Now it seems that the two are of the same kind, and they can act together without any trouble, not like the estranged union between the nests of allies or relatives, but more like the same nest of ants.

At first, the protagonist thinks that in addition to "eating ant meat", the mysterious ants also have the behavior of animal slaves, and these small mysterious ants are the slaves of the big mysterious ants.

However, after taking a closer look at their appearances, the protagonist sees that the body structure of the two mysterious ants is different, but also has a lot of common characteristics.

And from the point of view of behavior, there is no sign of exploitation and exploitation in the two.

As a result, the protagonist is inclined to think that the relationship between these two mysterious ants of different sizes may be similar to the relationship between soldier ants and worker ants in big-headed ants, and they are specific ants of the same species.

The soldier ants and the worker ants of the big-headed ants also look quite different in appearance, one has a huge head, a mighty jaw, and a small and exquisite. However, the physiology of the trunk part of the two is almost identical.

Although the physiological differences between the big mysterious ants and the small mysterious ants are more significant than the differences between the big-headed ant soldier ants and the worker ants, there are all kinds of strange things in the world, maybe there is such a huge difference in ant races? This is the most plausible explanation that the protagonist can think of at the moment.

Why did the mysterious ants send out all the big mysterious ants instead of the small mysterious ants?

Maybe it's because the big mysterious ant is obviously stronger in combat.

Just like the Divine Envoy King's legion is full of big-headed ant soldiers and no worker ants, perhaps this kind of mysterious ant of military supremacy has evolved to the extent of having a professional soldier, with the big mysterious ant as the absolute main force of the army, without the need to mobilize the small mysterious ant on weekdays.

But the protagonist also has to admit that there are obvious loopholes and contradictions in his various interpretations.

The reason why the occupational ants of the big-headed ant race will be divided into soldier ants and worker ants is because soldier ants are better at fighting, while worker ants are better at construction, foraging, and caring for queens, etc., and the two can cooperate with each other to achieve the optimal allocation of resources.

And the mysterious ant feeds on the flesh and blood of other ants, then war is foraging. If the big mysterious ant can perform both fighting and foraging tasks, why do you need a small mysterious ant to add to the snake?

Even if some of the little mysterious ants are needed to take care of the queen ants, they don't need to be too many. But judging from the current scale of the appearance of small mysterious ants, their number is also tens of thousands, which is not less than the total number of large mysterious ants.

Why do mysterious ants keep so many of their own kind that don't usually participate in wars and forage for food? This is a great waste of resources, especially if the mysterious ants are really "anteaters", and food is relatively difficult to obtain.

Now, the only advantage of these little mysterious ants is that they can adapt to low temperatures, but their combat performance is not good, and compared with the performance of the big mysterious ants against the indigenous Japanese black brown ants and black-headed sour ants, these little mysterious ants can not take too much advantage, and more often rely on numbers to win.

In terms of organization, these little mysterious ants are even inferior to the paving ant barbarian army.

Of course, the big mysterious ant is not very organized, and is not good at fighting in formation. But its size, strength, and jaws alone are enough to make every big mysterious ant a god-killing existence.

Therefore, the shortcoming of organization has little effect on the big mystery ant, but it has a significant impact on the small mystery ant.

There are too many mysteries about the mysterious ant, and the protagonist doesn't have time to figure them out one by one.

However, one thing is clear, since there are small mysterious ants among the mysterious ants that can fight in low temperatures, then winter is no longer a restriction to prevent the mysterious ants from continuing to attack.

On the contrary, the indigenous Japanese black brown ant and black-headed sour ant ant will have an even more difficult winter, not only in the cold and lack of food, but they will also continue to be attacked.

Previously, many indigenous ant tribes were able to flee after being defeated, and these two types of ants were not the kind of race that fought for every inch of land, and were more flexible in their fighting style, and they were also accustomed to a wandering lifestyle.

But in winter, these indigenous tribes will have nowhere to flee and will have to fight to the death in their winter nests.

For the paving ant barbarians, they have also lost their home field advantage in winter, and it seems that it will be difficult to use winter to regain lost ground from these mysterious ants.

As for the Divine Envoy King Legion on the other side of the river, this mysterious enemy that can move in winter like paving ants has almost extended its tentacles to the banks of the great river. Will they also cross the frozen river in winter and attack [Waterfront City]?

At this moment, the Divine Envoy King's legion realized that it already needed to deal with the attack of the mysterious ants head-on, instead of observing the battle situation on the other side as a bystander under the protection of the great river.

Because of this, the protagonist quickly unified the thoughts of the high-level under his command and entered [Dongyang City] with a large number of main forces in case of contingency!
