The protagonist was stunned to see it in [Bread], such a large-scale "ant move" is really the only time in his life, and the protagonist himself didn't expect that parasitic ants were so afraid of poisonous smoke that they were forced to move.

This tactic was also effective in the southern hilly areas, but the local parasitic ant nests were not removed. I don't know if it's because corn ants are more sensitive to toxic smoke, or because the local parasitic ants have no place to retreat and have to hold on.

At least from previous experience, poisonous smoke can cause the rapid death of silk parasites, which can really be described as a parasitic nemesis.

This time he moved, and the protagonist also found that there were obviously many queens in this group of parasitic corn hairy ants, and it was not a single queen system as commonly believed.

But after all, it is an ant in this world, and it has been parasitized, so it is normal to have something abnormal, and it is not surprising.

Regardless, the parasitic corn ants of the roundbread hills escape, and the protagonist takes over the massive nest without much effort. If it's hard-hitting, then I don't know if the Year of the Monkey will be able to completely conquer this place.

In the evening of the same day, after the parasitic army that had come from afar to participate in the siege retreated, the protagonist couldn't wait to order the Divine Envoy King warriors to search for the abandoned parasitic ant nest. When it was completely dark, the vanguard exploration troops returned safely.

The god envoy king warrior reported that the parasitic ant nest had been searched up and down, except for a few dying parasitic ants and a large number of corpses, this ant nest had indeed been empty, not even food, ant eggs and other things left, only an empty nest room.

The protagonist is very happy, and although it is not captured, the ant nest in this roundbread hill is the best trophy in itself. Its geographical location is quite superior, surrounded by water on three sides, and only a narrow land bridge connects to the rest of the city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The hill itself is hundreds of square meters in size, and although the soil layer is not thick, it is enough to be used as farmland for ants. The interior of the nest is also very large, accommodating hundreds of thousands of ants without pressure, and there is also a lot of space to build a breeding farm.

This is simply the most suitable place to establish a core stronghold in the swampy area: safe, fertile, and massive.

Under the orders of the protagonist, except for a small number of defenders who stayed behind in [Bread City], other gods made the king's warriors pour out of the nest, even those who participated in the battle during the day, and began to clean up the abandoned parasitic ant nest on a large scale.

A large number of parasitic corn hairy ants and silk parasite corpses were carried out of the nest, and the Divine Envoy King Warriors found a garbage dump of parasitic ants on the northern shore, but the Divine Envoy King Warriors obviously did not like these corpses and parasites piled up very close to the nest, and simply threw them all into the water to feed shrimp, crabs and aquatic insects.

The nest is generally very clean, and even if the corn hairy ants are parasitic, they still maintain the most basic physiological needs of the ants and maintain a clean and tidy environment.

To the Conqueror's Headache, there were still many traces of silk parasites left in the nest, although the upper part of the nest was safe due to the "disinfecting" effect of the poisonous smoke.

However, when the Divine Envoy King warriors searched the lower part of the nest that they had not set foot in before, because there was no poisonous smoke entering the area, they found a small number of silk thread parasites that were still alive, as well as a large number of parasitic spores.

These living silk thread parasites were shed from the parasitic corn hairy ants for various reasons, and before they could find a new host, the parasitic ants moved away en masse, leaving them in place.

These mature silk worm parasites do not survive long without their hosts, and would have died if it were not for the darkness and dampness of the underground. The warriors of the Divine King showed no mercy to these silk parasites, crushing them and throwing them into the water.

However, there are also a large number of spores of silk parasites throughout the nest, and these spores will quickly thrive as soon as they find rotting corpses, leftover food, or even ants' garbage heaps, and then turn into mature strains capable of infecting ants, and eventually completely infect and destroy a nest.

These spores are not very noticeable, but the ants found the newly emerging strains in some moist places and knew of their existence.

The protagonist does not dare to risk the army staying in this nest full of spores, which must be eliminated first. Fortunately, the strains and spores are very sensitive to fire, and the gods made the king warriors work together to carry the torches and bake them several times everywhere in the nest to ensure that they are 100% killed.

The next day, there was no parasitic army to besiege [Bread City], this phenomenon was not the first time, in [Stump City] and [Bridgehead], whenever the Divine Messenger King's army conquered the nearby parasitic ant nest, the parasitic ants and parasitic war beasts in this area would withdraw and no longer continue to attack in vain.

The protagonist is not in a hurry to continue to build a new fortress this time, and follows the retreating parasitic army step by step. This time, he plans to take care of the huge lair he has just captured, which is more suitable as a base for wintering in the swamp area than [Swamp City].

The protagonist asks the Bee Flying Knights to report to [Dongyang City] and ask the next fleet to bring the queen ant and more worker ants over without having to send a new legion.

According to the law of weather changes and the speed of the walnut fleet, the walnut fleet can only go back and forth twice at most. Since the pursuit is not going to continue, it is more useful to send in worker ants suitable for nest building and queens who can breed new generations of ants than to recruit new troop fighters.

The terrain of the roundbread hills and the [loaf city] was dangerous, and the road to the rear was held in a one-man manner, and only one or two legions needed to sit here to cover the rear safely.

The protagonist plans to have Rambovan and Ramberi's troops stationed in both places, and Tarantula's legions in [Swamp City] [Bridgehead] and [Stump City] respectively.

Before the worker ants arrive, the protagonist asks the rear [Swamp City] to send a group of newly hatched worker ants to participate in the construction of the new city on the round loaf hills.

Before that, the warriors of the Divine Envoy King also made cameo appearances in the work of the builders, racing against time before winter to rebuild this huge lair in scale comparable to [Qingqiu City] according to the standards of the Divine Envoy King's lair.

Day and night, the bloody battlefield turned into a noisy construction site, and countless floating soil under the ground was transported to the ground, and defensive measures such as ant mounds and city walls were piled up near the entrance and exit of the nest.

There are also large groups of ants foraging and hunting nearby, stocking up on food for the upcoming winter.

Although the land area in the vicinity is not large, there are abundant products in the water, such as catching aquatic insects with nets and fish cages, as well as some food such as lotus seeds and water chestnuts that float in the water and occasionally come to shore.
