About half an hour after Flying Eagle set out to investigate, the worried protagonist saw his figure in the sky again.
What reassures the protagonist is that the flying eagle is still alive and did not fall into the water in the violent air current. But what worried him was that the flying eagle and its mount were erratic in the air, controlled by the strong wind.
In the end, the brave and excellent flying eagle barely grasped the direction and flew back to the temporary camp, which relieved the protagonist's hanging heart.
As expected by the protagonist, according to the Flying Eagle's report, the parasitic ants floating on the lake have been pushed by the strong wind to the south shore of the lake, and it seems that they will be able to land soon.
At this time, after being soaked by the lake water and torn apart by strong winds and waves in recent days, the number of parasitic ants was only half of the original number, and about five hundred parasitic ants were gathered together.
This is the period when parasitic ants are at their weakest and the best time to eliminate them.
The protagonist immediately prepares the Divine Envoy King's army. Once the wind weakens, they will march along the lake shore to completely eliminate these tenacious enemies.
However, the weather often did not go as planned, and the wind continued to increase until midnight. The protagonist does not dare to let the troops march on the lake shore despite the dual threats of strong wind and night. Maybe a sudden big wave will wipe out the entire army of the God Envoy King.
Starting from the second half of the night, the wind began to subside, but the protagonist simply didn't plan to go out. After allowing the troops to recharge their batteries, the army set off at sunrise.
The traces caused by the strong wind can still be seen everywhere, with broken branches and grass blades everywhere, scattered messily on all the ground. Even the water surface by the lake is covered with vegetation debris and earth-colored foam.
The Flying Knights took off again, and they soon determined that the parasitic ants had landed on the south bank of the lake and were moving deeper into the hills in the distance. They were about three hours away from the Divine Envoy King's legion. Due to hunger and cold, they were not moving very fast.
It is estimated that the Divine Envoy King's Army should be able to catch up with the last remnant enemy in the afternoon. The enemy's condition and strength are absolutely unable to stop the current Divine Envoy King's Army.
——I am the dividing line——
However, the legions of the Divine Envoy King who were chasing the remnants of the enemy had to stop more than two hours after setting off.
The reason for stopping was not due to terrain or weather obstacles, nor was it the parasitic ants setting up defense lines or obstacles here.
Instead, a brand new ant force appeared in front of the God Envoy King's legion, and they seemed to be full of hostility towards the arrival of the God's Envoy King's legion.
These ants are larger than the big-headed ants, with an average length of 1.5 centimeters. Their bodies are black and slender. The most striking thing is that the upper jaw of the mouth is thick and pointed when it is closed, but it is sharp when it is opened. Like sharp scissors, with an upward curve. Coupled with the well-developed stinging needles at the top of the abdomen, it seems that he is not an easy person to deal with.
This is a group of hunting ants, about sixty of them. They were all summoned after the sentries discovered the marching Legion of the Divine Envoy King.
What worries the protagonist most is that these sentinels who hunt sickle ants obviously have very good eyesight. They discovered each other almost at the same time as the protagonist from a long distance, and then issued an alarm to their companions.
The hunter ant is also known as the hunter ant, and it belongs to the genus Fusarium. They usually nest in cool, moist soil such as forest edges and sparse grasslands. The nest mouth is crater-shaped, and the nest structure is simple and divided into layers. The number of colonies of hunter ants is not large, and mature colonies often do not exceed 200 individuals.
The hunter ant prefers to move alone when hunting, and mainly hunts small arthropod insects. They have well-developed eyesight and will shake their butts from side to side when they spot prey or enemies. Usually after stalking the prey, it suddenly jumps up to attack and grips the prey firmly with its long sickle-like teeth, and then gives it a fatal blow with its tail pincers.
Each of these sickle-hunting ferocious ants is a brave warrior. Their mandibles and stingers are specialized in fighting. Coupled with their larger size, a few big-headed soldier ants working together will not be able to fight. A rival for hunting sickle ants.
Now dozens of these sickle-hunting ferocious ants have gathered together, blocking the path forward of the Divine Envoy King's army.
Although the protagonist believes that the God Envoy King's army can win after a battle, it will definitely have to pay a heavy price. In particular, the protagonist knows that the fighting methods of these scythe-hunting ferocious ants are very special. The Angel King's army has no corresponding experience. The traditional dense formation tactics may be less effective in the face of these agile and flexible killers.
Moreover, the primary mission of the Divine Envoy King's army this time is to hunt down the remaining parasitic ants, and it is not to start a war rashly with a wave of scythe-hunting ferocious ants whose origins are unknown.
Therefore, the protagonist sent a soldier ant to tentatively approach the team of hunting sickle ants. He knows that the other party has good eyesight, and only one big-headed ant has passed by, which may be able to show his willingness for peace - although the protagonist knows that peace is very luxurious for ants.
The soldier ants who received the order slowly approached the team of hunting sickle ants from the open land, trying to show no hostility as much as possible.
However, just as she was about half a decimeter away from the ant, she saw a ant on the opposite side suddenly became anxious. She swung her antennae and abdomen angrily, jumped forward, and jumped. In front of the soldier ants who shoulder the mission of peace.
Before the unlucky soldier ant could react, the long mandibles of the hunter ant controlled its head. Under the pressure of the enemy's huge size, the soldier ant was pressed to the ground and unable to move.
Then, the attacking scythe ant arched its abdomen forward and pierced its sting hard into the body of the soldier ant. The soldier ant struggled for a while and then lost its breath.
This series of actions all happened in the blink of an eye. Even before the protagonists could react, the soldier ants had already died. However, even if they were aware of it in advance, the soldier ants were still too far away from the Angel King's army and would be completely unable to be rescued.
The death of the messenger made the protagonist furious. Since the attempt at peace has failed, the protagonist does not mind sacrificing part of his strength to eliminate these ungrateful and strange enemies - after all, there are only a few dozen enemies.
Following the protagonist's order, the Angel King's Legion began to adjust its formation half a meter away from the enemy. Using squads and legions as units, it switched from a marching column to a dense formation during a battle.
The ones who came out to pursue this time were the first and second legions of the Divine Messenger King, while the third legion stayed in the temporary camp to garrison. The pursuit force has sixty squads and three thousand warriors, which far exceeds the opponent's number. This is the source of the protagonist's confidence that he will win.
After adjusting the formation, considering the small number of opponents and the small battlefield area, only ten squads of the Second Army launched the first attack.
Then, the protagonist intuitively appreciates the fighting power of these fierce warriors.
