The flying eagle's intuition told him that the male ant hiding and escaping in the dense vegetation was suspicious.
He drove his mount and followed the male ant closely in the high air.
The figure of this male ant was seen disappearing and appearing under the dense grass. Apparently, he was using the vegetation to avoid threats from the sky. This caused some trouble for Xiaoying. Fortunately, he had good eyesight and a fast mount, so he could search repeatedly without risk of losing him.
This kind of escape method against aerial reconnaissance is not something that ordinary male ants would use. Most male ants fled blindly with their subordinates, often ignoring the threat of flying knights.
After all, the flying knights did not directly participate in the battle. Some male ants who had not fought against the Angel King's army for a long time often ignored the terror of the flying knights.
But this cunning male ant is obviously not one of them. He knows how scary the flying knight is, and he is trying his best to avoid the flying knight's attention.
But the more this happened, the more suspicious it made Tingying feel. Maybe the other party is the old-fashioned king?
But the Flying Eagle somewhat doubted its own judgment. There was no important male ant like this one on the ground, with only two or three followers following it.
The male ants are accustomed to shouting in front of each other and swarming behind each other. The commander of the lowest team has fifty subordinates, at least the whole team is running for his life together.
But no matter how Flying Eagle confirmed, he could only see at most three soldier ants next to this male ant. Of course, in order not to lose track of the target, he could not explore a larger area.
Maybe it was the commander of the squad who was defeated in the battle, with only a few remnants left around him? Flying Eagle thinks this is the most reasonable explanation, but Flying Eagle's intuition always tells him that this is a big bug (an important target).
——I am the dividing line——
On the ground, a male ant was speeding away.
The flying eagle guessed correctly, the male ant on the ground was none other than the old-fashioned king himself.
Just when Flying Eagle was hesitating, the old-fashioned king's heart was already high.
Even though Tingying controlled the height, the old-fashioned king's field of vision on the ground was often obstructed by the blades, so he saw no trace of Tingying and his cavalry.
But the dense "buzzing" sound of flies flapping their wings told the old-fashioned king that the enemy was coming, in the sky, not far away from him.
Unlike other male ants, in many battles with the evil God King’s minions in the wild, as well as in previous exchanges with the Public Security King and other kings who were familiar with the tactics of the God King’s minions in the main nest, the old-fashioned King clearly understood these knights. The horror of an enemy that hangs on flies.
He does not confuse the buzzing overhead with a distant buzzing or mistake it for a passing insect. By constantly changing the direction of travel, but still hearing the flapping of the wings of flies above his head, the old-fashioned king clearly knew that he was being targeted.
He was very confused, how did the other party target him? In order to avoid being noticed when escaping, he has taken many measures, such as always moving under the cover of dense vegetation, even taking detours, such as following only a few guards around him.
But even so, he was still targeted, which made the old-fashioned king feel frustrated. Maybe the minions of the God Envoy King could also get the divine decree, and he could not escape the pursuit of the "divine decree".
But the old-fashioned king is not a male ant who gives up easily, otherwise he would not fight against repeated defeats. He believes that as long as he is still alive, he will eventually defeat the evil God Envoy King and his minions.
——I am the dividing line——
Just when Flying Eagle was hesitant, he noticed that the male ant had stopped.
Perhaps because he was tired, this male ant hid in the shade of a mushroom canopy, motionless as if he was resting.
If the Flying Eagle hadn't been watching this direction closely, when the male ant stopped, its dark brown carapace would have been hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to spot it from a distance.
The three soldier ants next to him were hiding in the shadow of the rotten wood next to them, lurking quietly. There was also very dense grass beside the rotten wood.
Xiaoying thought about it and thought this was an opportunity.
So he circled in place three times, which was telling his wingman to prepare for battle.
The flying knights cannot use antennae and scent signals to communicate in the air, so they communicate simply through aerial dance similar to that of bees.
After receiving orders from Flying Eagle, the two horsemen untied the slings and spears tied to their mounts' backs, took them in their hands, and prepared to go into battle.
Although the Flying Knights' main mission was reconnaissance, they were also trained in combat and equipped with slings and spears as weapons.
The male ants do not like to fight in person, and the flying knights are also very resistant to daily combat training. However, under the pressure of the Divine Envoy King, the flying knights are the male ants with the most training and the strongest individual combat capabilities.
In fact, thanks to the huge body of the male ants, which is second only to the queen ants in the same species, even if their mandibles are smaller than that of the soldier ants, their overall combat effectiveness will not be inferior to that of ordinary soldier ants. It's just that the only time the male ants are aggressive is during the wedding flight ceremony. At other times, the male ants resist fighting.
Flying Eagle is still very prestigious among the flying knights. After he ordered the battle, the knights raised their weapons without hesitation.
With the piercing sound of flapping wings, the three flying knights drove their mounts and swooped down at high speed, aiming directly at the three enemy soldier ants hiding on the rotten wood.
In the air, the flying knights dropped three stone bombs, but they were not accurate at all. They only hit the dead wood next to the enemy with a crackling sound, startling the enemy.
Before the frightened enemy had time to react, he was stabbed to the core by the spear of the flying knight who swooped down.
The flying knights drew a beautiful arc and flew into the sky again, but the spears in their hands had disappeared. These spears firmly nailed the target to the rotten wood.
The impaled enemy soldier ants struggled in vain. No matter whether they hit the vital point or not, they could not pull themselves out, and the threat was completely lost.
Hitting the target with one strike is a skill that the Flying Knights have long trained under the leadership of Flying Eagle. Originally their target was wasps and other fierce insects that threaten them in the air, but now they can be used to deal with enemies on the ground just as well.
The male ant was obviously frightened by the lightning battle that just came so close. When he found out that all his guards had been eliminated, he immediately left the shadow of the mushroom and tried to escape into the grass.
But before he could hide in the grass, a flying eagle landed in front of him.
The three flying knights landed, untied the ant silk binding their hind limbs, jumped to the ground, and pointed at the target male ants with slings or spare spears.
Flying Eagle walked towards the male ant with the arrogant attitude of a winner. He wanted to see if what he caught was the old-fashioned king that the great God Envoy King could not wait to get rid of.
The target male ant stopped and watched the flying eagle approaching with unusual calmness.
