The plan to advance into the hinterland of the swamp was the second step of the Divine Envoy King's army's swamp raid this time, and it should have been carried out a long time ago according to the plan.

However, due to the extremely unsmooth progress of the battle, it was only for the first time in more than two months that the Divine Envoy King's legion that had come to the swamp region tried to leave the vicinity of [Swamp City] and march deeper into the swamp.

In fact, at present, the protagonist only has the strength of two legions on hand, and some battle damage. The materials hoarded in [Swamp City] are not abundant, and the food is only enough for a month, and the building materials and ropes are not rich.

Although the Divine Envoy King Legion has relied on perfect defense facilities and advanced weapons in the past few days, it has achieved a lot of results in defensive battles.

But once you get away from [Swamp City], it means that you need to rebuild the fortress. It is also possible that the logistical route will no longer be safe, and the supplies of the convoy from the mainland will have to be sent to [Swamp City], then transported to [Bridgehead] via rope bridge, and then transported to the front line via other routes. And once you leave [the bridgehead], this logistical route through the swamp will be in danger.

However, as autumn deepens and winter approaches, the climate has become noticeably colder, perhaps not noticeable in the middle of the day, but noticeably cooler in the morning and evening.

The protagonist wanted to completely pacify the parasitic forces in the swamp area before the onset of winter, so that he could concentrate on dealing with the new enemies on the north bank of the river next year, but this mysterious ant force has grown too fast and has become a major problem for the protagonist.

Now it seems that the plan to conquer the swamp will not be completed as scheduled, and although the parasitic army has lost its troops in front of the [bridgehead], they can always be replenished with war beasts, ant mouths, and supplies with the vast swamp.

But at least, the protagonist hopes to weaken its strength as much as possible before winter, so that once it withdraws north next year, the parasite forces will not be able to recover in the short term, and they will not be able to threaten the rear of the Divine Envoy King's legion.

Now the situation on the north bank of the Great River has begun to gradually become clear, and a new and more terrible enemy is showing its bloody jaws.

- I'm the dividing line -

Despite being in the southern swamp far from the Great River, the protagonist is still able to get regular information from the Flying Knight on the north bank of the Great River.

Before the protagonist marches into the swamp, the troops of the mysterious ants on the north bank of the Great River have stopped their military operations in the main nest of the Paving Ant Barbarians in the central part of the country, and instead attack the eastern nest of the Paving Ant Barbarians, and the main force of the Pave Ant Barbarian army has also been transferred here.

The two sides fought one after another in the eastern nest, and hundreds of thousands of ants from both sides killed each other all day long. The Paving Ant Barbarian Army has been firmly withstanding the enemy's onslaught and holding this vital scoring nest.

But just a month later, roughly when the protagonist and his subordinates were building the [bridgehead], the mysterious ant army suddenly reappeared near the main nest of the paving ant barbarian country.

Previously, the mysterious ants had already captured [Purple Leaf Li City], and it was only a day or two away from the main nest, but they were not in a hurry to attack the main nest at first.

The Paving Ant Barbarian Army also tried to counterattack [Purple Leaf Li City], and also robbed the local grain, but also did not achieve victory.

As the battle between the nests in the east became more and more intense, the paving ant barbarian army that was originally assembled in the main nest had difficulties in food supply, so they gradually mobilized the army to the east to branch the nest to support.

The judgment of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army was that the army of mysterious ants had also left [Purple Leaf Li City], so they did not launch a large-scale attack on the main nest.

But in fact, the army of mysterious ants has never left, they have only been waiting for some special reason, or waiting for something, they have not moved.

With the mysterious ant army raiding the main nest of the paving ant barbarians, the paving ant barbarian army woke up like a dream.

Fortunately, although a lot of local troops have been transferred, there are still more than 100,000 people left. However, in the face of the mysterious ants, which were only a fraction of their own number, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army was defeated in several battles in the field, and had to retreat to the main nest and hold on to the fortifications.

Instead of parasitic ants marching at sunrise and retreating at sunset, the mysterious ants besiege the main nest day and night.

The Paving Ant defenders suffered heavy losses and were unable to go out to collect food, so they could only rely on their already tight stocks to support themselves.

And the reinforcements from all over the Paving Ant Barbarian Country try to break through the defense line of the mysterious ants on the periphery of the main nest every day, but they are always not the opponents of the mysterious ants in the field, and they return with heavy losses.

Just a few days before the protagonist made the air defense net, he learned that the main nest of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country had been conquered.

Although this main nest has hundreds of thousands of defenders and a huge scale, there are no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, and under the attack of mysterious ants day and night, it has been supported for a month and finally declared its fall.

The flying knight, who was in charge of the reconnaissance, saw the mysterious ants swarming into the nest, carrying out one corpse after another, all the way to the north, and the team carrying the corpses flowed endlessly, like a small river flowing forever.

Except for the troops who blocked the reinforcements of the Paving Ant Barbarians on the perimeter, the mysterious ant army was almost entirely engaged in the work of carrying the corpses, and it was not until the third day that the main nest was emptied.

Subsequently, the mysterious ants did not occupy the main nest, but withdrew in the direction of coming, and at this time, the paving ant barbarian army, which had been unable to break through the defense line of the mysterious ants on the periphery, successfully entered the main nest, only to find that it had become an empty city.

Originally, hundreds of thousands of workers, thousands of males and hundreds of queens were not seen alive or dead.

The Paving Ant Barbarian Army didn't know that the corpses of their companions had been taken away, but they were aware of the end of the main nest.

The main nest, fallen, no longer exists.

Hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, even if the main nest falls, the paving ant barbarian country still has two sub-nests and hundreds of secondary nests, and still has the power to fight.

Although the main nest has been "reclaimed", there are no more inhabitants and garrisons here, and in the heat of the fighting, the Paving Ant Barbarians are unable to rebuild a new capital.

The eastern branch, which has gathered the most troops and has the largest number of kings and kings, has naturally become the ruling center of the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom, and the males here have rebuilt the King's Council and continue to command the entire country.

If it weren't for this war with the mysterious ants, the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom would have been able to recover with its heritage.

But the mysterious ant is like the nemesis of the paving ant family.

The newly established Paving Ant Barbarian King Conference faced war at the beginning of its establishment, and lost the resources and support of the original main nest, and the eastern nest could only step up to obtain replenishment from the secondary nests in various places.

And the mysterious ant army gathered outside the nest in the eastern part of the country is inflicting huge losses on the paving ant barbarian country every day, and continues to bleed it.
