This is a dense thicket of dogtail and tiger tail grass, single spike dog tail grass and multi-spike tiger tail grass are heavily bent down, in the autumn wind blowing one after another, continuous grass waves.

On the dogtail and tiger tail, the plump seeds adorn the tops of the grass stems, indicating the abundance of autumn. The ground was also covered with seeds of dogtail and saxifera, and the seeds of grass fell in all directions, which were harvested by the wind.

This must be a favorite feeding ground for ants, as it is a place to collect and stock up on grass seeds for the coming winter. But this year, there wasn't even a single worker ant busy collecting.

Because this is a war zone, no ant trail is the norm.

The closest to this production area is a side nest that originally belonged to the King's Council faction, but had fallen to the Destroyer during its first attack. After the entire lair was slaughtered, the Destroyer left. And the faction of the Great King's Council has not regained its operation here, allowing the fertile land here to die.

However, this land without ants has become a paradise for other wild insects, and without ants as fearsome predators, many vegetarian insects that survive the winter will come here to feed, replenish energy and accumulate fat.

But today, in this dense grass that used to be lively, there is not a single foraging insect, and even the last sorrowful cry of the crickets in the autumn day is inaudible, and the dead silence is abnormal.

Because there is a huge army of ants lurking in this bush.

The rolling 1st Legion was on standby in the grass, and they had left [Waterfront City] early in the morning after the sun had set out and arrived here. Although it is still relatively cold in the morning and evening, after the sun comes out, the temperature during the day is still relatively warm, and even the beetles that are afraid of cold can move freely.

It was precisely because of the presence of this legion that the insects that approached avoided and did not dare to stay here.

In the sky, from time to time, flying knights riding bees pass by, and they manipulate their mounts in the air to draw circles or figure-eight trajectories to transmit information, and the scythe ant scouts at the top of the blades of grass can obtain information according to the flight tracks, and then go down to the ground to report to the roll.

The rolling legion is here ready to ambush a destroyer force, and they have been waiting for a little half a day.

The protagonist originally didn't want to fight the Destroyers in the field, and according to the protagonist's estimates, in addition to the Beetle Legion, the other Divine Messenger King Legions were not sure of winning in the field against the Destroyers, and once they clashed, it was bound to be a tragic war of attrition.

The Beetle Legion, on the other hand, is more powerful than a force to compete with an equal number of Destroyers. However, there are currently only two Beetle Legions in the Legion of the Divine Messenger King, one of which (Rambopho II's 13th Legion) has not yet been fully formed. Only the rolling 1st Corps had full combat effectiveness.

The protagonist is naturally reluctant to use such a baby pimple army to fight with the enemy.

But today, the protagonist still sends out the Beetle Legion, which targets a small force of the Destroyer's army.

After the Destroyer army set up troops from the eastern part of the Ant Barbarian Country in the original pavement road, tens of thousands of Destroyer warriors in the southward army marched along the ant road in a narrow marching column, and the team stretched for more than 100 meters, which was magnificent in the air.

But this army is not a straight line either, and there is also the difference between strikers and defenders.

Like other ants, the forward troops dispersed in front of the army in a fan-shaped search and advance to eliminate threats to the army, repairing damaged ant paths and finding detours and marking insurmountable obstacles.

This is all a routine operation, and it doesn't attract the attention of the protagonist at first, he just asks the Flying Knights to closely monitor the movements of the Destroyer army to see if their first target is the King's Council faction or his own [bridgehead], and then make targeted arrangements.

In the beginning, the Destroyer's army did not follow the previous route of the divisional troops, and did not advance from east to west from the eastern dense forest. If that's the case, [the bridgehead] will definitely bear the brunt.

The Destroyer army is heading south from the old territory of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country, and if it follows the ant path normally, it should first attack the main nest of the King's Council faction, which is the southern branch of the original Paving Ant Barbarian Country, and will not attack the [bridgehead] city for the time being.

But before the protagonist could breathe a sigh of relief, in the next two days, the Flying Knights detected that the Destroyer army did not follow the ant path, but made a big turn under the guidance of the forward, and predicted from the trajectory of the march that they would perfectly avoid the only two secondary nests left by the King's Conference faction and reach the [bridgehead].

While the protagonist gives the order to prepare for battle again, he wonders about the Destroyer's turn.

But soon, the Flying Knights' reconnaissance solves the mystery.

The Flying Knights found that a small group of the Destroyer's army was at the forefront, and the direction they guided determined the direction in which the army was advancing.

And, in this small force, the Flying Knights observed a strange destroyer.

The Destroyer stood out from the crowd in that small army, and it was hard not to get noticed by the Flying Knights.

This Destroyer, though similar in appearance to the other two sizes, is a swarthy carapace and triangular head. But it's much larger.

The Great Destroyer is 25mm long, about five times as long as the Big-Headed Soldier Ant. The Destroyer ant is 40mm long, and its size is more like a giant beetle.

Most notably, the giant Destroyer ant has a pair of extraordinarily long antennae, almost the same length as its body, holding it in mid-air like an antenna, constantly towering in all directions.

This Destroyer with long tentacles is like a radar soldier, and the direction in which his tentacles search is the direction of this small force, which ultimately determines the direction of action of the entire forward force and even the entire army of Destroyers.

I don't know how the long-tentacled Destroyer ant uses its tentacles to explore, but it's clear that the exploration is working, and the Destroyer army is heading straight for [Bridgehead].

The protagonist decides to refer to this destroyer ant as the "Radar Destroyer" to distinguish it from the previous "Big Destroyer" and "Little Destroyer".

The protagonist of the working principle of the radar destroyer is still unclear, even if it is a radar, there must be a reflection target, the Divine Messenger King Legion and the [bridgehead] are on the ground, and it is no different from other ant nests, but the radar destroyer has come to the door.

Since the battle is inevitable, the protagonist simply decides to preemptively ambush the Radar Annihilator and get a bit of intel to learn the secrets of this latest Destroyer variety.
