A large number of worker ants formed two transport teams, flowing continuously between the three points of "Dongyang City" - the southern fortress - and the transfer station.
The supplies stored in the southern fortress are first transported to the transfer station, and then the space in the underground warehouse vacated will soon be filled with supplies from "Dongyang City".
Transporting supplies in the dark involves certain risks. As daytime insects, ants actually don't like to move in the dark.
In the dark darkness, there may be threats lurking not far away. Hungry nocturnal predators cannot help themselves to the temptation brought by the ants' bodies. The worker ants carrying heavy loads also temporarily lost their sharpest weapon - their jaws.
However, these worker ants are not so easy to bully, and there are a large number of escorting soldier ants around them. No predator other than the hungry would be willing to risk being attacked by a swarm of ants to catch these stinging ants.
Therefore, although sporadic attacks occurred, they were quickly repelled by the escort team, and the transportation work was still carried out in an orderly manner.
The fourth legion of the Divine Envoy King was split into three groups, with ten teams in each group.
The first group is responsible for escorting the transportation team from "Dongyang City" to the southern fortress, the second group is guarding the southern fortress, and the third group is escorting the transportation team from the southern fortress to the transfer station.
One night later, according to the plan, half of the supplies for the war had been delivered to the transfer station, and the other half was also kept in the southern fortress.
At dawn the next day, the first, second and third legions of the God-Emissary King also began large-scale mobilization.
The main force of the First Army united with the rest of the troops coming from "Dongyang City" in the southern fortress and completed the merger. On the first night, the First Army had already handed over the defense of the southern fortress to the ten squads of the Fourth Army who arrived.
Subsequently, the First Army Corps, together with the Third Army Corps, set off for the transfer station. The ten teams that the Second Legion had escorted the worker ants back have also returned.
Three legions gathered at the transfer station. This was the combat force attacking the parasitic ant nest. There are ninety squads under the three legions, as well as one squad of guards. The offensive force assembled by the protagonist this time includes a total of 4644 warriors including the protagonist, including 90 male ants and 4554 soldier ants.
It was already around nine o'clock in the morning, and the second and third groups of the Fourth Legion, escorting five hundred worker ants, also arrived at the transfer station.
This transport team was busy most of the night last night, and then took a rest in the southern fortress (the protagonist now forces all ants to sleep for more than four hours at night).
According to the usual attack patterns of parasitic ants, they should arrive near the transfer station around eleven o'clock.
The protagonist estimated the time and decided to wait in place with the large force, recharging their strength and waiting for the enemy to arrive.
——I am the dividing line——
Just before the sun reaches its highest point of the day, the parasitic ants arrive as promised.
The soldiers of the Divine Envoy King's Legion, who had been waiting for a long time, did not rely on the defense facilities of the fortress as usual. Instead, they opened up a formation, and the second and third new legions were responsible for attacking this small group of parasitic ants. wiped out in the field.
Although the Angel King's army had to endure higher casualties in field battles than in defensive battles, the protagonist felt it was worth it. In the future, the legion will always have to fight with the enemy in the field. Now it is always beneficial to practice with a small group of enemies and let the troops who have not had field combat experience with parasitic ants adapt.
After wiping out this enemy force, cleaning up the battlefield, and sending the wounded back to "Dongyang City", the protagonist ordered the large forces to dispatch.
In addition to the First Army advancing lightly as the vanguard, the Second Army and the Third Army both carried food and ammunition with them. In the center of the protection of the three legions was the third group of the fourth legion and five hundred worker ants, who were also carrying supplies.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, the army had approached the northern slope of the hills. However, they did not continue to get closer. Instead, they gathered together and hid in the bushes, waiting for the opportunity.
The protagonist asked Gun to temporarily control the entire army. He mounted Xiaoqing and flew behind the hills to detect the movements of the parasitic ants.
From the sky, the protagonist can clearly see the movements of the parasitic ants: most of the enemies are foraging in the valley, and a few parasitic ants are wandering in the hills to the north. The parasitic ants on these hills are very close to the reserved fortress stakes. If this At that time, the army began to forcibly build a fortress, which was bound to be discovered by the enemy.
After turning around in a circle, the protagonist returned to the army and signaled the troops to continue to stand by and wait for the planned opportunity to arrive.
The only ones who were not idle were the escort group of the Fourth Legion and the transport team composed of five hundred worker ants. They temporarily placed the supplies carried by the army in a cave of a huge rock and returned to the transfer station.
By the time the transport team arrived with another batch of supplies, the sun was already close to the horizon, but the army still stayed in the bushes.
But soon, the protagonist who landed again ordered the entire army to act according to the plan.
During the investigation just now, the protagonist noticed that the parasitic ants that foraged and grazed scale insects on the hills had begun to return to their nests one after another, and there were not many parasitic ants active on the hills.
It was still half an hour before the sun set, and the parasitic ants were already preparing to return to their nests for the night.
The God Envoy King's army immediately took advantage of this gap to create a perfect time difference.
The first and second legions escorted five hundred worker ants quickly climbed up the hills and arrived at the reserved site for building the fortress. The escort groups of the Third Army and the Fourth Army remained in place, responsible for guarding the army's supplies.
The ants who came to the hills found no enemies and were not in danger of being exposed for the time being. Now, the Legion of God's Envoy King got one night to build the fortress. This was a crucial night.
The First Legion has opened a defensive network around it. As the daylight fades, the protagonist can no longer grasp the entire battlefield just by flying in the sky. Although we know that parasitic ants should be the same as ordinary big-headed ants at night and will not be active at night as usual, we still need to take precautions.
The First Legion of the Divine Envoy King meticulously constructed a warning position. If an enemy appeared, they must ensure that the enemy could not run back to warn them, so as to buy enough time for the construction of the fortress.
The second legion and five hundred worker ants are responsible for building the fortress. This tree stump only covers such a large area, and the construction of the two thousand ants is already the limit.
The construction ants were divided into different groups.
Some dig dirt from the ground and provide it to the construction crew on the stumps. The construction team mixed the soil and gravel excavated from the ground with ant glue and ant droppings and applied them everywhere. There are also some ants that get into the tree stumps that are riddled with holes and clean up the accumulated water, sludge, etc. inside.
Due to the clear division of labor and sufficient manpower, the construction of the fortress went very smoothly, and no blind enemies ran into the construction site.
At present, the plan of the God's Envoy King Legion is going well.
