After listening to the respective reports of the Locust Jackal and the Katydid Leopard, the Flying Eagle also felt some doubts, so he contacted the Katydid Leopard privately afterwards.
This time, he did not just listen to the report from the katydid leopard, but asked the katydid leopard to send him the information package. Later, he asked Locust Jackal for the information package.
After reviewing the two information packets, Tingying didn't notice anything wrong at first, but after reading it a few more times, Tingying finally discovered the problem.
Why are tens of thousands of ants active on the ground near the nest in the "Hunting Ground City" sub-nest? This is by no means the scale of an ant nest. An ordinary secondary nest only has a few thousand to ten or twenty thousand ant colonies. Obviously not all the ants will go to the ground to forage. There will also be housekeepers, caretakers of young ants and queens, and resting ants in the nest.
This is definitely not normal!
Flying Eagle immediately reported this discovery to Rambo Fei.
After hearing this, Rambo Fei immediately realized the value of this information. Although he had never been to "Hunting Ground City", he had heard about it and knew that it was a small sub-nest with hunting as its economic basis.
Rambo Fei then asked Huzi, who had been stationed in "Linshui City", to inquire. They found that no ants in "Hunting Ground City" and nearby areas had recently come to "Linshui City".
This information is also unusual. The south bank of "Linshui City" is one of the most important ant tunnels in the kingdom. If "Hunting Ground City" sends a messenger to other areas, it must pass through this ant tunnel, and there is absolutely no way it will not be "Linshui City" discovered by ants.
Since "Hunting Ground City" and nearby areas are still controlled by the Big-headed Ant Clan, but they are gathering strength abnormally and actively cutting off connections with other areas, there must be something wrong here.
Although they could not guess the reason, since as many as thirty-four messengers from their camp were missing in this area, both Rambo Fei and Flying Eagle believed that this area was hostile to them, and they needed to be careful when investigating intelligence.
Now the God Envoy King asked the two male ants to investigate the information in this area, but the current harvest was far from enough.
Rambo Fei asked Tingying to send another reconnaissance team, and Tingying went into battle himself.
This time, he brought all nine generals with him, as well as a whole team of flying knights.
After circling "Hunting Ground City" for more than ten times, Flying Eagle didn't find much abnormality this time. Locust jackals and katydid leopards had discovered large-scale ant colonies before, but they did not see them this time. There were only small teams of big-headed ants hunting and foraging on the ground, as well as some scattered ants.
It seems that everything looks normal, no different from an ordinary sub-nest.
But comparing it with the previous investigation results, we can smell something that is trying to hide something.
After reporting to Lamborghini, Lamborghini, Flying Eagle and Darong all felt that there was something wrong inside. The tens of thousands of ants discovered in the previous investigation could not disappear, nor could they be transferred to other places in such a short period of time.
It can only mean that such a large ant army has hidden underground in "Hunting Ground City". Since they are hiding, it means that their commander does not want to be discovered by the flying knights.
Moreover, it was impossible for the previous "Hunting Ground City" to accommodate so many ants, which meant that its underground had been expanded. Normally, the male ants in the secondary nest would never waste their energy on expanding the nest. There must be some purpose in doing so.
Although the Rambos still couldn't guess the opponent's purpose, they felt a faint threat.
In order to obtain more information, Lan Bofei, Ting Ying and Darong Yi jointly planned to send a ground reconnaissance team.
After all, the Flying Knight's aerial reconnaissance can only be a quick glance and cannot completely replace ground reconnaissance.
But it is not easy to conduct ground reconnaissance. Just like the ants in "Hunting Ground City" who want to go to the hinterland of the kingdom can only go through the ant tunnel of "Linshui City", due to terrain restrictions, they want to enter from "Linshui City" The area of the seventeen sub-nests that needs to be investigated must also pass through the only ant trail, and "Hunting Ground City" is stuck on this ant trail.
Since there are tens of thousands of potentially hostile ants in "Hunting Ground City", Rambo Fei feels that it is impossible for an ordinary ground reconnaissance team to pass through without being discovered, and it is also difficult to force a breakthrough with the power at hand.
After all, he only has one legion at hand, and "Linshui City" only has a garrison legion with weak combat effectiveness. After leaving the garrison force, there is not much power that can be used. Forced detection by too many ants will alert the snake.
After much thought, Rambo Fei initially wanted to let Flying Eagle take the Flying Knight and carry a small number of soldiers to the hinterland of the Northeast region to find an empty sub-nest to investigate.
But Flying Eagle refused. How could the flying knights under his command sit with ordinary ant warriors? This is still the kind of male ant supremacy idea that disgusts the protagonist. Maybe the protagonist is here, and Tingying doesn't dare to make mistakes, but it's just Rambo flying, and Tingying doesn't buy it at all.
Lamborghini had no choice but to let the reconnaissance team advance from the ground.
However, when the commander of the hunting ant scout team was summoned to explain the difficulty, the commander of the hunting ant was indifferent.
It turns out that ants that can hunt alone have a very strong sense of direction and do not rely heavily on pheromones or ant trails.
When Rambo Fei asked, the commander of the Scythe Ant Hunter said that he could lead his troops around the ant tunnel and through the wasteland. He only needed to tell himself the target location.
Rambo flew this task to the flying knights, and Flying Eagle agreed. He would send the flying knights to lead the way in the air. The scythe-hunting ant scouts with good eyesight could follow the flying knights to avoid the target heavily defended area.
This team set out for three days before returning. The speed of traveling through the wilderness was definitely not as fast as advancing on the ant track.
During the day, they were constantly changing routes under the guidance of the Flying Knight, taking the most desolate and remote corners. Fortunately, there are no fierce insects that dare to challenge fifty strong hunting scythe ants without opening their eyes.
At night, when the flying knights return to spend the night, these ants can only find a tree hole to huddle together and spend the long, still cold spring night.
These scythe ant scouts were indeed hardworking and hardworking. They arrived at a sub-nest at the very edge of the northeastern region the next day without any complaints.
Then, under the guidance of the flying knight, these ant-hunting warriors went straight to the entrance of the nest, killing all the ants they encountered along the way.
In the small nest, these powerful individual warriors quickly found and captured a male ant. After biting off its six limbs, the warriors took the captive out of the nest. Carry it and rush back quickly.
On the third day, the investigation team returned to "Linshui City".
Although Rambo Fei was dissatisfied with the predatory ants biting the male ant captives into disability, he still put the overall situation first and started interrogating first.
