The protagonist was very surprised by the reappearance of the parasitic fungus. After the remnants of the parasitic ants disappeared in the south, he had no news about these damn "zombies" for a long time. He was so busy that he almost forgot about this "old rival".
But thinking about the information that the protagonist had previously gathered in the main nest "Qingqiu City", in the history of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, there have been more than one or two secondary nests where all ant colonies suddenly disappeared, just like the previous "Dongyang City".
Perhaps the parasitic fungus is not a rare species. It is hidden under every leaf, in every piece of decayed wood, and on every ant. Like a lingering ghost.
If these parasitic fungi are really not the same as the escaped parasitic ants, it means greater trouble. This kind of fungi may be pervasive and threaten the newly born King of Gods at all times.
With this in mind, the protagonist asked the messenger to immediately set off to report to each sub-nest, and let the male ants from each place take the lead to organize a strict investigation of whether the ants in the nest were infected.
But he is currently unable to take further steps. Now the attention of the entire Divine Envoy King's legion is still attracted by the war with the old-fashioned king.
——I am the dividing line——
In the next few days, which lasted until early April, the battle between the soldiers of the Divine Envoy King and the Stiff King became increasingly fierce, and the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed in one fell swoop.
First, Gun led his army to successfully recapture the captured sub-nest.
The allied forces of the staid kings who occupied this place from other sub-hives were poorly defended and were quickly repulsed. However, because there were too few rolling troops and no troops were deployed to cut off the retreat, many enemy troops successfully escaped.
After the recapture, the secondary nest was almost an empty city, with only a small portion of the food reserves remaining, and most of the remaining food being eaten away by the enemy. A divine envoy Wang Xiaoduo and two thousand worker ants who were originally stationed here, except for some who escaped back to the main nest and the third auxiliary nest, most of the others were killed, and a few were also taken away by the enemy.
What makes the protagonist more concerned is that some of the mealworm eggs he asked the worker ants to bring to this sub-nest and some worker ants who know breeding techniques were also taken away by the enemy.
The protagonist then dispatched two groups of worker ants from the main nest to the second and third auxiliary nests, and formed some garrison teams to garrison in the three auxiliary nests from the main nest "Qingqiu City" to "Linshui City". Five teams are stationed in each sub-nest.
While clearing out the enemies in the back road, Lamborghini still fought against the old-fashioned King's army who attacked the wooden bridge every day. The protagonist sent a messenger to reprimand Lamborghini and Gun for the poor coordination, which actually calmed down Lamborghini and made no mistakes again. .
After Gun's troops had rested, Lan Bofei finally cooperated with Gun to complete the previous plan:
On the south bank of the river, Rambo flew across the bridge again to set up his formation, attracting all the attention of the staid King's army. Due to his previous experience, the old-fashioned King's Army did not doubt that he was there, and wanted to seize this rare opportunity to inflict heavy losses on Lamborghini's troops.
When the rolling beetle army launched an attack from behind the old-fashioned king's army, the lack of training and the old-fashioned king's army quickly collapsed. The Divine Envoy King's army gave priority to attacking the male ants of the old-fashioned King's army, which severely damaged its command system and aggravated the chaos.
After a battle that lasted until nightfall, the Angel King's army killed tens of thousands of enemies and captured nearly 10,000 big-headed ants.
Unfortunately, due to the small number of troops and the fact that it was dark, more than 20,000 soldiers of the old-fashioned King's Army took the opportunity to escape back to "Hunting Ground City". Since Gun's legions never found the enemy's main formation, the old-fashioned king calmly retreated with his guards.
No matter what, at least the siege of "Linshui City" has been lifted, and the enemy army that lost nearly half of it can no longer threaten "Linshui City" with heavy troops stationed there.
In the next few days, no fighting broke out between the two sides in "Linshui City". The old-fashioned king is busy licking his wounds, constantly integrating newly emerged ants into the army, and hoarding supplies to prepare for another battle.
The Divine Envoy King's legions in "Linshui City" also had to rest and recuperate. Ramboser's Sixth Legion, which had participated in less battles, filled up the vacancies from the local garrison, and then escorted tens of thousands of prisoners back to the main nest "Qingqiu City". ”.
In the main lair, the protagonist screens and treats the prisoners. These prisoners are all worker ants and soldier ants. Those ants that are still loyal to the old-fashioned king are killed, and the remaining healthy ones are enriched and sent to various sub-nests. The injured ones are ordered by the protagonist to go to some places not controlled by the protagonist. Vice nest.
These sub-nests have shown obedience to the old-fashioned king and hostility to the envoy king before. The protagonist wants to use these disabled or injured ants to consume the resources of these sub-nests and create some trouble for them. Prevent these deputy nests from colluding with the old-fashioned king.
In fact, many sub-nests have already contacted the old-fashioned king. In addition to the sub-nest that once fell, some sub-nests, including "Sitong City", have been attacked.
These sub-nests are not dispersed enough to unite. And nests such as the main nest "Qingqiu City" and "Sitong City" are the intersections of ant paths, which objectively blocks the traffic between many secondary nests and the areas controlled by the old-fashioned king.
Although the hostility of these scattered sub-hives did not cause much damage, the protagonist obviously could not tolerate such provocation.
He currently only has Rambotu's fourth legion and Lambory's fifth legion. After leaving the well-defended Rambotu's fourth legion to defend the main nest "Qingqiu City", he ordered Lamborui to lead his army to annihilate it. There are three nearby secondary nests with hostile behavior.
The worker ants and soldier ants in these auxiliary nests are still treated differently. Opponents are killed, the healthy ones are assigned to the auxiliary nest, and the disabled ones are sent to the rival auxiliary nest. Even though all the local male ants died in the battle, their bodies were still transported back to the main nest and thrown into the fire.
The protagonist then sent a large number of messengers to deliver information packages about burning male ant corpses to various sub-nests, hoping to use this new terror to frighten the enemies.
However, it was later found that the effect was not obvious. Ants have no concept of the afterlife, so they treat corpses very casually. Regardless of whether they are male ants, queen ants or ordinary ants, the corpses after death are randomly discarded in the public cemetery of ants.
Therefore, abusing and insulting the corpses of these male ants, in addition to confusing the male ants who received the information package, did not frighten them as expected.
The battles with the scattered deputy nests slowly slide into the direction of the security war that the protagonist has always been worried about. Opponents are always killed, which gives him a special headache.
Therefore, the protagonist strictly ordered the troops of "Linshui City" to eliminate the old-fashioned king's army as soon as possible, so that the other sub-nests would lose their allegiance again, which would be beneficial for him to defeat them one by one.
So, on April 8, after a long period of rest, the four armies of the God Envoy King, which were fully replenished, trained together and recharged, marched towards the "Hunting Ground City" in the east under the leadership of Gun.
