The "bridgehead" is currently garrisoned by the Fourth Army of Lamboto.

According to the protagonist's instructions, the Fourth Army has been constantly reinforcing the "bridgehead" fortress, and has not even organized people to go out to forage for food, and food and supplies have to be transported from the south bank of the river.

With the exception of the construction team, most of the soldiers of the Fourth Legion patrolled the vicinity of the "bridgehead" in small squads, attacking and killing any paving ant barbarian warriors they encountered.

This arrangement has achieved good results in the early stage, since the "bridgehead" is far away from the secondary nest of the paving ant barbarians, only occasionally the paving ant barbarian warriors will come here, and then they will not be able to go back.

However, as the disaster brought about by the cold spring intensified, the paving ant barbarian territory on the north bank of the Great River also suffered. Like the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom, the Paving Ant Barbarians are now struggling for food.

The various secondary nests are expanding their range of search for food, and they are beginning to appear frequently in areas where there was little activity of paver ants.

In this case, the patrol pressure of the "bridgehead" has increased greatly, and no one can guarantee that every paving ant barbarian warrior who comes here will be found and killed. As long as any fish slips through the net, whether he finds a bridgehead or a patrolling Divine Envoy King warrior, the secrets here will be exposed.

And the protagonist is very pessimistic, he believes that it will be sooner or later, and therefore orders the Fourth Army to begin formal preparations for battle.

A steady stream of grain was filled into the granary of the "bridgehead", and materials such as pottery bombs and plant fibers were also prepared. The walls of the "bridgehead" are being raised every day, the moats are being widened, and the defense capability is being improved little by little.

However, what the protagonist is waiting for first is not the imaginary army of paving ant barbarians who are pouring in like a tide, but the rainy season.

- I'm the dividing line -

The day before, the sky was clear, but today the protagonist looks at the sky when he gets up, only to find that the sky seems to be covered by clouds overnight.

These clouds are not yet patterned, creating different lines and patterns in the sky. The temperature and humidity this morning were very different from those of the past few days, and the warm wind from the south brought a pleasant atmosphere.

Now, the protagonist who has already experienced himself doesn't need other ants to tell him, and he senses that the weather is changing - it looks like it's going to rain.

The clouds and warm winds did not dissipate as the sun rose, but in the morning the clouds became thicker and slowly coalesced into clumps, covering large swaths of land in shadow, and the wind came and went, but the air began to become dull and humid.

In the morning, some big-headed ants go out, but after noon, as the temperature and humidity in the air change, the working ants begin to return to their nests.

In the afternoon, a light rain fell, and fine rains fell on the ground and leaves. The rain was so light that it didn't even cover the ground, and it was impossible for many ants to start flying.

But it's a signal, a sign that the rainy season is coming.

There was no more rain that day.

Until the next day, in the morning, the clouds had cleared a lot, and the sun was once again covering the ground, but the humidity in the air did not decrease.

The ants still didn't go out in large numbers, and although there was sunshine, experience told them that the humidity was not safe now.

Sure enough, after a while, when the sun was blazing, a solar rain fell in the sky.

At first, it was just a small raindrop, but soon the clouds in the sky began to gather again, and the rain turned into raindrops the size of beans, crackling warmly against the whole world. Half an hour later, the heavy raindrops turned into endless rain before people knew it, and continued until the evening.

This spring rain lasted a long time and rained heavily. The rain was continuous, the fog was heavy, and there was too much rain on the leaves, and the water droplets began to fall to the ground dripping, smashing small holes into the dirt. The flowing water merges together and gathers along the natural ditch to the low-lying area.

It is a timely spring rain for trees and other plants, and it is also a season of moisture. Their tall bodies and verdant foliage dance softly in the rain. The young shoots grabbed the abundant rain and stretched wildly, and the tender green color looked delicate and lovely.

The herbaceous plants were a little weak in the heavy rain, and excessive rain would soak them, and if the rain lasted too long, the leaves under the grass would turn yellow.

The vines are very fond of this climate, and they seem to be in a race, with their necks stretched out, trying to compete with the sky, trying to climb up the host.

- I'm the dividing line -

At night, the rain subsides.

The protagonist hasn't fallen asleep yet, he knows that this spring rain is not the only one, and there will be rain from time to time in the next half month or so. In such weather, it is impossible to carry out large-scale military operations, and both the "bridgehead" and the "stump fortress" will be given a chance to recuperate peacefully.

And after this spring rain, the teams of each sub-nest participating in the wedding flight ceremony are about to set off.

The protagonist's "Dongyang City" and "Waterfront City" will not participate in this year's wedding ceremony.

There is no queen ant this year, so naturally there will be no newborn male and female ants who need to participate in the wedding flight.

Before the onset of winter last year, the queen ant of the former "Waterfront City" returned to the main nest as usual to avoid the loss of the queen ant if it fell here. After the beginning of spring, considering that "Waterfront City" still has the possibility of becoming a battlefield, after the queen ants of the other secondary nests have returned, there are still no queen ants living here.

And "Dongyang City" does not participate in the wedding ceremony, which is completely due to the selfishness of the protagonist. Last year, "Dongyang City" held two temporary wedding flights by itself, and became a group of ant queens and queens on their own.

Through this means, the protagonist firmly controls all the power of the birth, education, marriage, and adulthood of the ant king and queen ant in "Dongyang Castle", and all the newborn kings are extremely obedient to the protagonist, and the protagonist also consolidates his supreme authority.

In this case, of course, the protagonist does not want the ant king under his command to reach adulthood through the wedding flight ceremony of the main nest, which will make them feel a sense of belonging to the main nest, thus shaking their own status.

Moreover, due to the bad year and the lack of food this year, the protagonist has no plans to expand the size of the ant population under his rule this year. At present, the queen ant has very few production tasks, just constantly replenishing the normal loss of ants. Until now, there are no newborn male and female larvae in "Dongyang City", so naturally there are no candidates to participate in the wedding flight.

The protagonist is not worried about the main nest to blame for this, every year there is a secondary nest that fails to catch the wedding flight ceremony, and the main nest does not understand what the situation is - especially the protagonist's complicity in this situation, which has never been seen in the history of the big-headed ant kingdom.

- I'm the dividing line -

There is something to do today, a watch!
