The protagonist's earliest plan was to change all the mounts of the flying knights to bees, because bees have weapons such as jaws, bee stings, and bee venom, and their self-defense capabilities are obviously stronger than flies. This is a powerful supplement for the flying knights who lack combat effectiveness.
However, during training, the bee mount revealed some problems, the most important of which was that its ability to avoid danger was far inferior to that of flies.
The fly's reaction is very sensitive, and it can avoid the slightest disturbance. It often leads the flying knight to escape from disaster before the flying knight can react. There is no need for the flying knight to be distracted and vigilant, and he can concentrate on his job. .
But bees cannot do this, because they are closely related to ants and are social creatures themselves. They are accustomed to carrying out specific instructions given by ants (the same species in this image) through their tentacles, and rarely act independently. Moreover, bees are also slow to react, making it difficult to avoid some sudden dangers in time, and even harm the flying knight.
During the training, there were many scenes where the bee flying knight hit the spider web and died together with the big worker ant flying knight. Flies rarely hit such traps.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the protagonist decided to retain the Fly Knights. They were more suitable for carrying out certain dangerous reconnaissance missions.
The protagonist also planned to mix the Fly Flying Knight and the Bee Flying Knight to form complementary advantages, but it also failed.
Bees like to cuddle together, but they don't like other insects mixing with them.
Bee hives are rich in food and very safe, so many insects will try to deceive bees and hide in the hive to eat honey for free, or even eat the eggs and larvae of bees.
Therefore, bees are also wary of insects that are not of their own species. Even if the flying knight strictly stops them, these bees will try to attack flies that are too close to them.
In the end, the protagonist had no choice but to give up the plan of mixing them up and group them separately.
Among the four flying knight legions, one is stationed in [South City] and the other is stationed in [Linshui City], and they are respectively responsible for long-distance reconnaissance in the north and south directions. Two Flying Bee Knights are stationed in the main nest [Qingqiu City] as a mobile force.
But the protagonist will often mobilize some fly knight squads to return to the main nest, or mobilize bee flying knight squads to participate in long-distance reconnaissance in the north and south.
——I am the dividing line——
The Army Legion of the Divine Messenger King has been expanded again, and now there are 16 field legions in total.
Among them, Gun continued to command the 1st legion, Rambo Fei commanded the 2nd legion, Rambovan commanded the 3rd legion, Rambotu commanded the 4th legion, Ramboser commanded the 5th legion, and Rambo Rui commanded the 6th legion.
These commanders are all the first-generation male ants of the Divine Envoy King's Legion of the same generation as the protagonist, and their troops are also the main force among the main forces.
In addition to the rolling army being the beetle army, Rambowan's troops were also adapted into the beetle army. The source of the beetles was a batch of new beetles raised and raised by the Angel King's Legion. The Big-headed Ant survivors also gave away four beetles as a gift because the Angel King's Legion relieved the ant queen's inheritance faction from attacking them.
The beetle legion has proven its impact in the field in the war. If the number of beetles was not limited and the growth was slow, the protagonist would want to form more beetle legions as soon as possible.
In addition, there are the 7th legion commanded by the mantis tiger, the 8th legion commanded by the rhinoceros, the 9th legion commanded by the spade elephant, the 10th legion commanded by the armored ox, the 11th legion led by the manticore, and the 12th legion led by the spider wolf. Legion.
After the disbandment of the Male Ant Flying Knights, the last three commanders, Centipede Python, Katy Leopard, and Locust Jackal, also switched careers to the army and became the commanders of the 14th, 15th, and 16th Legion respectively.
These commanders are all second generation male ants. Rambofo's descendant Rambofo II has also entered the military and serves as a squad commander in the 14th Legion.
Currently, there are 16 field legions of the King of Divine Envoys, with a total of more than 40,000 soldiers.
——I am the dividing line——
Although the Divine Envoy King's Legion has developed rapidly internally, it is a prosperous scene.
However, the protagonist still cannot relax. The reason why he continues to expand his army and carry out military reforms is because of changes in the surrounding environment, which requires the Divine Envoy King's army to be prepared for changes.
In the southwest of the territory, Lao Wang and his second senior brother retreated into the mountains with the last remnants of the ant queen's inheritance faction, and escaped the detection of the flying knights, becoming a hidden danger.
At the end of last autumn, the sub-nests near the border reported that big-headed ants carrying the scent of the queen's inheritance faction had entered the border. They even wanted to persuade the ruling male ants in these sub-nests to be loyal to the queens, just like they had persuaded them before. The male ants of the old king's conference took refuge in that.
However, these male ants are not the original male ants of the old era. They have all received education from within the Divine Envoy King's legion. They have firm beliefs and are very loyal.
These male ants reported the situation in time, which also made the protagonist pay attention to the queen's inheritance faction again to prevent its resurgence.
Sure enough, as the persuasion failed, some of the ruling male ants in the border sub-nests even suffered assassinations. This is also a common trick used by the queen ant inheritance faction. They will kill the disobedient male ants, and then quickly send male ants and troops to take over the secondary nest, achieving expansion at a small cost.
Fortunately, these sub-hives have stepped up their vigilance and thwarted the enemy's plot. Those small troops who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack the auxiliary nest were quickly defeated by the garrison.
This incident still made the protagonist extremely angry. He mobilized two legions and followed the pheromones left by the enemy into the mountains, trying to find and destroy the enemy's lair.
However, in the complex environment of the mountainous area, the Divine Envoy King's Legion failed to find the enemy's well-hidden nest. Instead, they continued to be harassed by various indigenous ants, which was so annoying that they finally returned without success.
I don’t know how the Sai Lao Wang and his remaining soldiers managed to gain a foothold in this mountainous area surrounded by enemies, and even tried to counterattack the Divine Envoy King’s army.
The threat to the southwest cannot be eradicated, and a new alarm situation appears in the southeast.
The Flying Knights and Scythe Hunter Ants stationed in [Southern City] confirmed from different channels that the activities of parasitic bacteria are becoming more and more frequent and rampant.
The infected ants of various races formed a coalition and began to rush out of the swamp and into the mountains and forests in all directions.
At the beginning, there were dozens of teams, and the local tribe of hunting ants in the mountains and forests could simply unite to deal with them.
Later, the scale of the parasitic ants expanded to hundreds or even thousands, and the predatory ants had to form a stronger alliance to deal with it.
Although I don’t know why the parasitic ants are adding fuel to the attack, increasing the size of the offensive force little by little, but at the current frequency, the alliance of the hunting ants will soon be unable to withstand it.
If it hadn't been for the arrival of winter and the parasitic ants retreating into the swamp again, the mountainous area not far from [Southern City] might have been caught in the flames of war.
But after next spring, the threat will return.
