Chapter 3: Half a Year Later (3)

The protagonist's original plan was to change all the mounts of the Flying Knights to Bees, as the Bees have weapons such as jaws, bee needles, and bee venom, and their self-defense ability is significantly stronger than that of flies, which is a powerful supplement for the Flying Knights who lack combat power.

However, during training, the bee mount revealed some problems, the most important of which was that its ability to avoid danger was far inferior to that of flies.

The flies are very reactive, able to avoid the slightest disturbing vision, and often take the flying knight to escape before he can react, without the need for the flying knight to be distracted and vigilant, and can concentrate on his own work.

But bees cannot, because they are closely related to ants and are social creatures themselves, they are accustomed to carrying out specific commands from ants (the same family in this image) through their antennae, and rarely act autonomously. Moreover, the bees are also slow to react, and it is difficult to avoid some sudden dangers in time, even involving flying knights.

During the training, there were many scenes where the bee flying knight hit the cobwebs and died with the big worker ant flying knight. Flies rarely hit these traps.

Therefore, the protagonist weighs again and again, and decides to keep the Fly Riders, who are more suitable for a certain dangerous reconnaissance mission.

The protagonist also planned to mix the Fly Knight and the Bee Knight to form complementary advantages, but it also failed.

Bees like to huddle, but they don't like other insects to mingle with themselves.

The bee hive is rich in food and very safe, so many insects will try to trick the bees into hiding in the hive to eat honey for nothing, and even eat the eggs and larvae of the bees.

As a result, bees are also wary of non-native insects, and even if the Flying Knight is strictly restrained, these bees will try to attack flies that are too close to them.

In the end, the protagonist can only give up the plan of mixing and group them separately.

Among the four Flying Knights, one Flying Knights is stationed in [Southern City] and the other is stationed in [Waterfront City], which are responsible for long-distance reconnaissance in the north and south directions. The two Bee Flying Knights are stationed in the main nest [Qingqiu City] as a mobile force.

However, the protagonist will often send some of the Fly Rider squads back to the main nest, or mobilize the Bee Flying Knight squad to participate in long-distance reconnaissance from the north and south.

- I'm the dividing line -

The Divine Messenger's Army Corps has been expanded once again, and now has a total of 16 field legions.

Among them, Roll continued to command the 1st Legion, Rambo Fei commanded the 2nd Legion, Rambovan commanded the 3rd Legion, Ramboto commanded the 4th Legion, Rambose commanded the 5th Legion, and Rambery commanded the 6th Legion.

These commanders are all the first generation of male ants of the Divine Envoy King Legion of the same generation as the protagonist, and their troops are also the main force of the main force.

In addition to the rolling legion being the Beetle Legion, Rambovan's troops were also reorganized into the Beetle Legion. The source of the beetles is a batch of new beetles raised by the Divine Envoy King Legion, and the big-headed ant remnant clan also gave away four beetles again because the Divine Envoy King Legion lifted the attack on it by the Queen Ant Inheritance faction.

The Beetle Legion has proven its impact in the field in the war, and if it weren't for the limited number of Beetles and the slow growth, the protagonist would like to form more Beetle Legions as soon as possible.

In addition, there are the 7th Legion under the command of the Praying Tiger, the 8th Legion under the command of the Dung Rhino, the 9th Legion under the command of the Stag Elephant, the 10th Legion under the command of the Ox, the 11th Legion under the command of the Manticore, and the 12th Legion under the command of the Spider Wolf.

After the Knights of the Ant Flying Order, the last three commanders, Centipe, Leopard and Locust Jackal, also became the commanders of the 14th, 15th, and 16th Legions, respectively.

These commanders are all second-generation males. Rambo II, a descendant of Rambo Fer, has also entered the military as a squad commander in the 14th Legion.

At present, there are 16 field legions of the Divine Envoy King Legion, with a total of more than 40,000 soldiers.

- I'm the dividing line -

Although the inner legion of the king of God has developed rapidly, it is a thriving scene.

However, the protagonist still can't relax, and the reason why he continues to expand his army and carry out military reforms is also because of the changes in the surrounding environment, so that the Divine Envoy King's army must be prepared to adapt.

In the southwest of the territory, the eldest king and the second senior brother retreated into the mountains with the last remnants of the queen inheritance faction, and escaped the detection of the flying knights, becoming a hidden danger.

At the end of last autumn, the sub-nests near the border reported that big-headed ants with the smell of the queen inheritance faction had entered the border, and they even tried to persuade the ruling males of the sub-nest to be loyal to the queens, just as they had persuaded the males of the old king's meeting to take refuge.

However, these males are not the males of the old era, they have all been educated within the Divine Envoy King Legion, and they are firm in their beliefs and very loyal.

These males report the situation in a timely manner, which also makes the protagonist re-interested in the Queen Ant Legacy faction, so that it does not recur.

Sure enough, as the persuasion failed, some of the dominant males of the border sub-nest were even assassinated. This is also a common tactic used by the Queen Ant's Legacy faction, killing disobedient males and then quickly sending males and troops to take over the secondary nest and expand at a fraction of the cost.

Fortunately, these sub-nests have been strengthened and thwarted the enemy's plots. The small forces that wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack the sub-nest were also quickly routed by the garrison.

This incident still makes the protagonist extremely angry, and he mobilizes two legions to follow the pheromones left by the enemy into the mountains in an attempt to find and destroy the enemy's lair.

However, in the complex environment of the mountainous area, the Divine Envoy King Legion did not find a good nest hidden by the enemy, but continued to encounter various indigenous ants to harass them, and finally returned in vain.

I don't know how the oldest king and the remnants of their soldiers gained a foothold in this mountainous area where enemies were everywhere, and even tried to counterattack the Divine Envoy King's army.

The threat from the southwest cannot be eradicated, and new police situations have emerged in the southeast.

The Flying Knights and Hunting Scythe Ants stationed in [Southern City] have confirmed from various sources that the activity of parasites is becoming more and more frequent.

Ants of various races were infected, forming a coalition army, and began to rush out of the swamp and rush towards the mountains and forests in all directions.

At first, it was a team of dozens of people, and the local scythe hunting ant tribe in the mountains and forests could deal with it by simply uniting together.

Later, the size of the parasitic ants expanded to a group of hundreds or thousands, and the hunters had to form stronger alliances to deal with it.

Although I don't know why the parasitic ants are increasing the size of the attacking force little by little, at the current frequency, the alliance of the scythe hunters will soon be unable to resist.

If it weren't for the onset of winter and the parasitic ants retreating back into the swamp, the mountains not far from [Southern City] might have been caught in the flames of war.

But after the spring of next year, the threat will return.
