Having fought with parasitic ants, the protagonist is well aware of the zombie virus-like infectivity and threat of this ant, which cannot be overstated.

The parasitic ants desperately threw themselves into the lake, which made the protagonist relax his vigilance, and the tiger returned to the mountain under the good situation, which was tantamount to letting Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong go in the carriage gorge.

But now it's too late to say this, the parasitic ants have only been in peace for more than a year, and they are ready to move, and they look menacing, and the protagonist has to plan ahead.

There must be some secret hidden in that swamp to become a shelter for parasitic ants, and the whereabouts of all the parasitic ants in the protagonist's information seem to be gathered in this area. Maybe it's where parasites come from, or is it a very important resource for them?

The protagonist has the heart to explore the secrets of the swamp, and even has a plan to enter the swamp to fight and eliminate the threat of parasitic ants once and for all.

However, if a large number of ground troops were to be sent there, it would inevitably cross the territory of the indigenous sickle-hunting ant tribes in the southern hills, causing war.

Although the Divine Angel King's army is strong enough to defeat the indigenous scythe and fierce ant alliance. However, at present, the two sides are actually in the same camp against parasitic ants, and it is beneficial and harmless to break out into war.

In the event of a war, the Legion of the Divine Angel will be weakened, and at the same time it will lose a de facto ally, and the Scythe Hunters will no longer be able to act as a buffer against the early warning and sluggish parasitic ants.

You know, before the Divine Envoy King Legion, the parasitic ants didn't seem to be able to wreak havoc, perhaps thanks to these indigenous scythe-hunting ants.

Although in the history known to the protagonist, parasitic ants have not ravaged the history of the big-headed ant kingdom, but the historical information package passed down by the male ants in the big-headed ant kingdom through word of mouth is only as far back as a thousand years, and just like the history of human letters, the more it is lost, the more similar myths there are, after all, the information package is also a memory, and there is also a risk of loss and confusion, and the more times you communicate, the more distortions.

What the protagonist thinks can be more convinced of is the history of 200 years ago. The absence of parasitic ants in these 200 years does not mean that it will be safe in 300 years or 400 years, nor does it mean that it will be safe forever.

From the male ant "Kite", the protagonist learns about a "prophetic" message package in the Scythe Hunter Ant Tribe. The packet said: "Every 500 years, the scythe-hunting ants must unite for an apocalyptic war. ”

Although the packet only exaggerates the heavy casualties of the Doomsday War and the fighting will of the Hunters, it does not specify the object of the war. But now, it seems that the last battle recorded in their packet that almost led to the extinction of the race is almost five hundred years away, and combined with the innate aversion of the Scythe Hunters to parasitic ants, it is self-evident who they are targeting.

Therefore, the protagonist currently has the priority of dealing with the scythe ants in the southern swamps, and all the expansion of the army is preparing for a possible war with the parasitic ants. Although the external threat to the Legion of the Divine Envoy is not limited to parasitic ants, after unifying the south bank of the Great River, the protagonist does not have a way to gain more security.

There are a large number of indigenous scythe-hunting ant tribes in the middle, and the protagonist's ground forces cannot be dispatched directly for the time being, and what he can now send is the Flying Knight troops.

However, these flying knights themselves are weak in combat and cannot enter the swamp interior to carry out combat missions.

Not to mention the unknown number of parasitic ants, but also the numerous dragonflies in the swamp, all of which made the flying knights have to act in groups, not daring to get too close to the edge of the swamp.

Dragonflies are harmless to humans and animals, but for many flying insects, they are out-and-out "air overlords". This insect already shows a cruel and murderous personality when it is a larvae.

When they become adults, dragonflies prefer to live in swamps because they need water to reproduce – "dragonflies in the water" are actually dragonflies laying eggs on the surface of the water.

They have no interest in crawling insects on the ground, but they will never show mercy to any insects that fly in the air that are smaller than their own size, and will not hesitate to grab and tear them apart with their large jaws.

Even the Bee Flying Knight could hardly resist the dexterous and swift aerial attacks of these air overlords.

After paying a certain price, the flying knights who went to the airspace close to the swampy area were replaced by bee flying knights who operated in groups, and only when the number reached more than ten could the dragonflies be basically dispelled. Even if a hungry dragonfly occasionally attacks, it can resist with a numerical advantage.

In addition to the dragonfly, its smaller relative, the damselfly, is also a threat, and this primitive insect is also carnivorous and bloodthirsty, and will also attack any flying insects smaller than itself.

The sky of the entire swamp is ruled by dragonflies and damselflies.

However, although the flying knights paid a certain sacrifice, they did not find nothing in the reconnaissance of the outer areas of the swamp area.

They scouted and found that from the territory of the Divine Envoy King's legion to the swampy area, there was not only a land and air route, but also a water route.

The big lake in the east of [Dongyang City] used to be the natural boundary line of the big-headed ant kingdom, and the other side of the lake is a continuous hill and mountain area, and the big-headed ants and the protagonist don't know the situation on the other side of the lake.

Previously, the protagonist knew that the Great Lake had a northward waterway that flowed into the Great River, and the mouth of the river was just east of [Waterfront City], which was also the natural boundary line of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom back then, and the easternmost boundary of the alliance territory that was once organized by the old-fashioned king.

After the Flying Knight's reconnaissance, the protagonist finally discovers that this large lake is about the size of a medium-sized reservoir from the perspective of the human world, and the surrounding water system is abundant, and a large number of streams from the southern swamps are injected into it to replenish it.

To the southeast of the Great Lake, another waterway, due to its high terrain, flows to several small lakes in the valleys between the hilly areas, and after a series of complex and tortuous water connections, it finally flows into the swampy area where the parasitic ants are located.

Although the Flying Knights could not enter the swamp to continue exploring the waterways, it was certain that the large lake east of [Dongyang Castle] would be able to bypass all the ants' territory from the waterways and reach the nests of parasitic ants.

But what makes the protagonist speechless is that the ants did not use the waterway to move, and they couldn't let the soldiers of the Divine Envoy King's legion be like the parasitic ants at the beginning, just lying on the water and drifting with the waves.

When the parasitic ants were forced to dive, that is, they drifted for two or three days, and they had already suffered heavy losses. And from the big lake to the swamp, the optimistic estimate is that it will take a week to drift smoothly, and if you dare to do this, the whole army will basically be wiped out.

It seems that it is necessary to use human experience to study how to use waterways.
