[Swamp City] has begun to take shape, and the Divine Legion has taken root in this strange land. However, the protagonist and the other ants are still unfamiliar with this land and its ecology, which is completely different from the previous territory.

The ecology of the swamp area is very different from the plain area occupied by the former big-headed ant kingdom and the current army of the god envoy king, but not to mention the complex and difficult plants, even the insects that live in it are very different from the hills and plains not far away.

The sky here is a world of dragonflies and damselflies, and even the flying knights have to retreat. However, there are more mosquitoes here, and it is common to see mosquito pillars that shade the sky, especially in the evening and at night.

Fortunately, these mosquitoes are not a threat to ants, they feed on nectar and plant sap.

These mosquitoes and flies are the main prey of dragonflies and damselflies.

The protagonist knows that female mosquitoes need to feed on the blood of large animals before laying eggs to get enough nutrients, and in a world where there are no mammals, reptiles, or birds, he doesn't know what female mosquitoes rely on to get enough nutrients. However, the protagonist is not a biologist, and he has no urgent desire to solve the mystery.

And on the small isolated islands of the swamp, there are many spiders, nematodes, ticks, and insects such as oligochaetes, springtails, and dipteras.

There are some insects that are not often found in the territory of the Legion of the Divine King.

For example, ticks and mites are a group of small arthropods with a variety of shapes, sizes, habits and habitats, some are herbivorous, some are predatory, and some are parasites of other invertebrates and vertebrates. Tick mites are found all over the world, even in deserts and the Arctic, on mountain tops and under the sea, in rivers and hot springs, and are more common in soil, plants, and animals.

The common in swampy areas is a large blood-sucking tick, including ants and other insects are its targets, its insatiable greed, a single blood-sucking can kill double-digit ants or even a dragonfly, the size of the expansion of dozens of times or even more than a hundred times.

Another example is some Diptera insects, such as the aforementioned dragonfly and damselfly, and some wingless Diptera insects, such as some midges, like vampire ticks, like other insects with large heads.

There are also some ferocious tiger armors, both of which have degraded wings, worthy of the name of the order Diptera, but this crawling insect is very ferocious. This medium-sized beetle generally has bright colors and colorful spots. Its head is large, with a front mouth, and the upper jaw is well developed and powerful, crossed from side to side. Carnivorous tiger carapaces are the overlords of the swampy grounds, just as dragonflies are the overlords of the skies, moving around during the day and preying on all kinds of bugs. The tiger is also the fastest animal in the world, it only takes one second to jump to a point 171 times longer than its own body, which is equivalent to a cheetah running at a speed of 110 km/h to 18,810 kilometers away to hunt. In the human world, the bold tiger armor even has the nickname of "roadblocker", when people walk on the road, the tiger armor is always three or five meters away from the pedestrian, its head is towards the pedestrian, when the pedestrian approaches it, it flies low and retreats, still head towards the pedestrian, always in front of the pedestrian.

There are also some insects that are not endemic to swamps, such as nematodes, which are one of the largest phyla in the animal kingdom, which are prosthetic coelwares, most of which are small and cylindrical, also known as roundworms. They can be found everywhere in freshwater, seawater, and land, often surpassing other animals in terms of number of individuals and species, and can be found in extreme environments such as Antarctica and ocean trenches. Many nematodes are parasitic on animals and plants, and some live freely in soil, freshwater and seawater environments to live on their own, parasitic nematodes are pathogens of animals including ants and humans, such as roundworms, whipworms, pinworms, hookworms, trichinella and strongyloides, etc., ants do not like these insects and rarely hunt.

Another example is oligochaete insects, the most typical is earthworms. Earthworms are also common in plain areas, but they only emerge from the ground after rain and when the climate is wet. Earthworm meat is a favorite meat for ants, and although this huge prey is not very easy to prey on due to its huge size, strong strength, and slimy body fluids, ants will still go out in large numbers when they find this prey. And some earthworms clumsily do not have time to return to the ground after the sun comes out and are dried into earthworms, which is cheaper than the ants who find them.

Another example is springtails, which are primitive insects with a small body and wingless internal mouthparts. Most species have a bifurcated appendage at the end of their abdomen, which is held by a gripper when stationary, and can eject the worm when released, hence the name springtail or jumping worm, but they are usually still crawling dominant. Danktails have tube-like mucous tubes on their abdomen that secrete sticky substances and ingest water. No metamorphosis, mature after molting 3-12 times, molting about 50 times in a lifetime. Springtails are widely distributed in a variety of soils and leaf litters around the world, some species are called snow fleas, which can survive in near-freezing temperatures and appear in groups on snow, most species feed on spoilage food, sometimes garden crops and mushrooms. The most familiar thing for the Divine Envoy King's Legion is the green round jumping worm in the Springtail Worm, these pests are very fond of the farmland of the Divine Envoy King's Legion, especially the crops of the Scourge Beans and Poaceae.

In and around the largest body of water in the swampy area, there are also many characteristic insects, such as dragon lice, water spiders, mosquito larvae, and dragonfly larvae. There are also a lot of water flies and water flies.

Aquatic fly larvae grow like worms, carnivorous and herbivorous, live in swamp water or rotten mire, and after the larvae pupate in the skin, they become adults who look like bees or wasps, with distinctive yellow, green or black stripes, and prefer to haunt near flowers.

The water fly is a small insect of the Ephydridae family, which is small in size and appears in large numbers in swampy waters, without fear of the dirty and rancid quagmire that some insects are afraid of. The water fly can be said to be one of the least particular insects in the living environment, and there is a crude water fly (Psilopa p

etrolei) even produces and breeds in crude oil pools, eating insects that accidentally fall into the pools. However, the larvae of this scruffy waterfly are very tasty and nutritious, probably like the meat of a pig that likes to roll in the mud.

Overall, the swamp ecology is unique, but there are many dangers hidden, whether it is blood-sucking ticks and midges that can bite and suck blood, or fierce dragonflies and tiger armor that actively forage and hunt, spiders and flies that quietly ambush, dragon lice and water flies that hide in the water, are all threats to ants.

It's no wonder that few ants live here, except for parasitic ants, and the fierce tribe of scythe-hunting ants also refuse to enter this dangerous land.
