The vitality of ants is indeed strong. Although the captured male ant returned with all six limbs broken, it was only slightly weak due to the bumpy road for more than a day.
Rambofei asked the worker ants to feed him some food, including honeydew and a paste made from mashed dried banyan fruits from last year. The male ant quickly regained its strength.
But he refused to cooperate with Rambo Fei's inquiry at first, and kept expressing his anger with the strongest emotion. After all, anyone who had his six limbs bitten off would be angry, not to mention that the other person was a minion of the evil King of Gods.
Ants don't have any curse words, but the meaningless anger can fully express his thoughts.
Rambo Fei didn't want to be violent to his own kind, but Flying Eagle, who was eager to show off, didn't think so.
As the second-generation male ant of the Divine Messenger King faction, Flying Eagle is much less influenced by tradition than the first-generation male ants like Rambo Fei. Except for the occasional inexplicable act of arrogance due to the respect of the male ants, most of the time he is I can better identify with the protagonist’s actions.
The flying eagle was not so gentle towards the disabled male ant captive. He used one of his middle limbs to step on the head of the captive who was lying on the ground and could not move. This was a humiliation. At the same time, the eagle also threatened to throw the male ant from the big banyan tree into the river.
The fear of water is the innate nature of ants. Under this threat, the originally angry male ants quickly gave in and told the story of the old-fashioned king and his actions.
Rambo Fei didn't expect such twists and turns at all, and hurriedly asked the flying knight to convey this information to the protagonist. That's why the previous scene happened.
——I am the dividing line——
When Rambo Wan stepped into the nest with corpses on the ground, he looked around. Among the corpses on the ground, a huge body of a male ant with its head separated was extremely eye-catching.
This corpse was the target of Rambo Wan's search. It was this corpse that caused a lot of trouble to the God Envoy King's army while it was still alive.
The army led by Gun originally thought that the march to "Linshui City" was a simple military operation, just like the way from "Sitong City" to "Qingqiu City". The sub-nests along the way were not well defended. With good preparation, a few elite raids can occupy a sub-nest.
But this time it was different. After easily conquering the first sub-nest "Liangmo City" along the way, the Divine Envoy King's army encountered a fierce battle at the second sub-nest.
The ruling male ant of this sub-nest is an extreme conservative. It was he who received the fugitive old-fashioned king and sent soldier ants to protect him as he continued to move forward.
He got a promise from King Stiff-laced King that he would definitely bring the Northern Expedition Army back to regain the main nest, and at the same time he would be promoted to the King's Council.
Based on this promise and his extreme dissatisfaction with the Divine Messenger King for abandoning tradition and killing male ants, he made up his mind early on to actively prepare for war and prepare for the "King Master" in the future.
After the old-fashioned king left, Rambo Fei's troops also passed by this auxiliary nest, but they did not enter.
It was this incident that made the king realize that the minions of the God-Emissary King might occupy this place, just like they occupied the main nest. They can come once and not get in, but they may come a second or third time and overwhelm the guests.
There was only one king in this sub-nest. He took over the power and began to actively prepare for defense. He ordered the ants in the nest to regard all ants of the same species with the aura of the God Envoy King as enemies, and actively hoarded food and supplies.
When Gun led three legions to the boundary of this sub-nest, he did not realize that the ants in this sub-nest were already ready for battle.
He still followed his past experience and put away the scout team of hunting scythe ants. Instead, he sent a small team of big-headed ant warriors to the entrance of the sub-nest. He wanted to use the aura of the same people to hide from the sky, break into the underground nest in one fell swoop, and then capture the thieves. The one who captures the king controls the male ants.
However, after this small army was discovered by ants foraging for food in the sub-nest, these ants either attacked without explanation or fled in panic.
The team commander failed to realize that something was wrong and did not know how to adapt to changes. He continued to rush forward. As a result, he was surrounded by the defenders who came after hearing the news near the entrance of the lair.
Fortunately, Gun in the rear got the news and led the beetle troops in a surprise attack to rescue the team. The defenders, who lacked male ants and relied solely on instinct to fight, immediately broke up and fled underground.
At this time, this team had lost one-third of its strength in the heavy siege. This loss was the heaviest in recent battles.
Facing the already well-defended sub-nest, the beetle troops who were good at field combat had no place to use, so he let Rambowan's legion take charge of the attack.
The underground street fighting greatly weakened the tactical advantage of the God's Envoy King's army to fight in formation. Although the deputy nest defenders had no grassroots commanders, they fought desperately with their strong fighting spirit.
The Divine Envoy King's legion has never encountered such a determined enemy this year, and these enemies are of the same race as themselves. In the past, those who refused to take action against their own clansmen were often the enemies of the Divine Envoy King's legions.
But now, thanks to the infusion of information from this sub-nest male ant over the past few days, the defenders have treated the fellows with the aura of the God Envoy King as the old enemies of the Pavement Ants. On the other hand, the Divine Envoy King's army was caught off guard, unable to exert even half of its tenth capability.
That is to say, thanks to the perfect command structure of the God Envoy King's legion, after Rambo Wan realized something was wrong and issued a strict order to resolutely attack, the commanders of each squad slowly came to their senses and finally recalled what the God Envoy King had said to them. The ruthlessness of his subordinates who did not obey orders began to urge his subordinates to step up the attack.
This kind of street fighting is a kind of war of attrition. Rambowan's army spent a lot of time and sacrificed the lives of hundreds of elite soldiers before they finally broke into the lowest level of the nest and killed the deputy nest male ants commanding inside. .
Faced with such a determined opponent and former kinsman, Rambo Wan did not ask for instructions from the protagonist or Guan, but asked his subordinates to place the corpses of the male ants and the corpses of other war dead in the public cemetery of the deputy nest. This is tantamount to It was to give equal treatment to the victims of both sides and to express his admiration.
After a hard battle, the Divine Envoy King's army captured an "empty city" at a considerable cost. This empty city no longer had an ant colony and could not assume its original functions. The new generation of male ant officials who came with the legion to manage this sub-nest were also at a loss.
Just stop here to rest, then report the situation here to the protagonist and ask him to make a decision.
After receiving the news, the protagonist was surprised that there was a hard fight, and the dead male ants of the sub-nest did not provide any information about why they fought to the end.
But he has realized that even if he occupies the main nest, the situation he will face may become more severe.
