The day after the Divine Envoy King's army retreated south, the Paving Ant Imperial Army did not chase after them.

The Paving Ant Empire was busy pacifying the newly occupied northern border, clearing out the remote nests of the leaf-cutting ant kingdoms that had not had time to conquer before, and then placing more troops from the native areas north of the gravel land.

Before the first batch of million-strong troops were all assembled in [North Pine City], it is estimated that the Paving Ant Imperial Army will not immediately move south.

The Paving Ant Imperial Army didn't chase after them, but Spring Rain followed the footsteps of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and it lingered all day long before they just hit the road.

This time the spring rain came urgently, because the air humidity has been large, and the pressure change of the air pressure is not obvious, the god made the king army feel the rain very late.

At this time, it was too late to immediately build a camp large enough for the rest of the 50,000-strong army, and this was not a small task, and it could not be completed in a hurry. The Divine Envoy King's army was forced into a dense clump of grass, and the dense blades of grass could temporarily block some of the rain, making the Divine Envoy King's warriors trembling in the bleak wind and cold rain feel a little better.

The warriors of the god king began to work in a hurry on the damp soil, and one by one they were covered in mud and water, and hurriedly built a camp.

Although the Divine Envoy King Warrior on the ground has grass to shelter from the wind and rain, the grass is not an umbrella raincoat, and the scattered rain threads seep in from time to time, and the cool breeze accompanying the rain also blows into the grass uncontrollably, and the protagonist is a little cold and can't stand it, not to mention other Divine Envoy King warriors.

It was the beginning of May, and it was supposed to be late spring, but the rain was quite chilly in early spring.

It wasn't until they all hid in the underground camp that they felt better, and the warriors of the king helped each other wipe the dried droplets of water from their bodies, took care of the flies and beetles that were also shivering, and then ate some dry food on the filthy droplets that seeped into the nest camp.

The dry food carried by the Divine Envoy King's army was enough for 2 days, and each legion had several special squads, carrying ant silk packages and containing the dry food of the whole army. At this time, the dry food was also wet, but it was able to fill the stomach.

The rain continued all day, and in the evening it continued to linger, and the next morning the rain intensified again, and the sun did not see until noon.

At this time, the Divine Envoy King's army only has one day's rations left, and the protagonist orders the whole army to have a full meal, and after eating up the dry food, set off lightly, while the Flying Knight sends a team south to find the food transport team that does not know where it is delayed, so that it can join the retreating army as soon as possible.

When going north before, the Divine Envoy King Legion only carried a small amount of grain, and the same was true for the Leaf Cutting Ant Army, and there were several groups of transport troops behind who were responsible for continuing to provide grain, and this spring rain delayed for nearly 2 days, not only the Divine Envoy King Army, but even the Leaf Cutting Ant Army that was still in the fortress in the north was about to run out of food.

When the Divine Envoy King's army began to retreat south after the rain, the leaf-cutting ant army that had just left the fortress also ran out of dry food, and they had no flying knights to contact the food team, and if the food team could not find it on their own, they would only starve. Fortunately, the ants usually starve for three or two days and do not matter, in the past, when fighting, such a break would appear every three or five days, and many veterans have become accustomed to it!

The news brought back by the flying knight was not optimistic, yesterday's rain was too sudden, or too long, the air was filled with high humidity early in the morning, but the rain came down very late, so late that the ants were already numb to such dangerous humidity.

The nearest food convoy was also hit by the rain, and at that time they happened to be on a rocky beach that was difficult to excavate, and there was not enough ant power to build a camp, and there were no tree holes nearby, so they could only carry grain bags on their backs one by one, hide under a bush growing in a crack in the rocks, and finally drowned and froze to death dozens of them, and many grains were also soaked in water.

The protagonist tells the grain convoy to turn south, move beyond the rocky beach, build a camp in advance, and wait for the main army to rush over to rest.

At dusk that day, the army of the king of the gods had not yet joined the grain caravan, and when it was almost dark, they camped down again. Fearing that the rain would creep in again, the Divine Envoy King's legion had no choice but to stop early and start building a campsite.

Another day passed, and in the morning the army of the king set out again, but did not want to be attacked in the morning.

The attack came from the sky, when the protagonist was in the center of the long march, suddenly noticed something, and when he looked up, he saw that the flying knights accompanying him in the sky were eagerly drawing a flight trajectory that represented the meaning of the warning.

Looking up to the north, I saw a black cloud pressing down - it was a cloud of hundreds of "mosquitoes"!

Enemy attack! Air raid!

The protagonist didn't expect the enemy to send the air force alone to chase him so far! Could it be that they want to repeat what they did to the Leafcutter Defeat Army!?

The Divine Envoy King Legion is not a leaf-cutting ant army, it is covered by an air force!

At this time, the flying knights in the sky were scattered among themselves, some patrolling the perimeter, some flying with the army, and some far south to liaise with other troops and convoys.

At the beginning, the 20 cavalry knights in the northernmost part were the first to discover the enemy's tracks, and in order to cover the army, they took the initiative to meet them.

The Flying Knight Commander felt that his speed was enough to ensure safety, and they were not prepared to wait for a fight, and planned to throw a few fireballs to lure the enemy away and then use the speed advantage to turn back.

Because of the distance competition, the Flying Knight Commander could not occupy the height advantage in advance as previously requested, and could only get close to the enemy while climbing.

But what the flying knights didn't expect was that the air had been too humid lately, and the wings of the fly mounts were a little damp, which was not obvious when they were usually flying at a slow speed, and they couldn't exert their strength when they needed to accelerate.

The wings of the enemy's "mosquitoes" were also damp at night, but the flight speed of the flies decreased more in comparison, and the flying knights were also accustomed to the usual speed, and a mistake in judgment caused the 20 flying knights to be entangled by the enemy during the climb.

After a close-range battle, only 7 of the 20 flying knights escaped, and the rest were all killed, and the corpses were not even recovered, and they were carried north by a group of "mosquitoes".

The flying knights didn't have time to care about the corpses at this time, and the "mosquito" swarm had already flown over the army, wandering in search of something. The protagonist remembers that the "mosquito" unit had beheaded the supreme commander of the Leafcutter Ant Army before, and thought to himself, it couldn't be looking for me!

Fortunately, the protagonist is the same as other male ants in size, and there is no special place to be identified, unlike the hapless leaf-cutting ant female ant - there are few female ants in the army, and as the supreme commander, she also dyes her head red to show "majesty", which is simply telling the "mosquito" that I am here!
