It was precisely because of the traditional system of the ant-hunting race that the male ants had a low status and were discriminated against, so Kite finally defected to the alien King's Legion without any psychological barriers, and was reused as a blessing in disguise.
It is precisely because the male ants have another identity as historical inheritors in the ant hunting ant clan, Kite has been able to understand many long-standing stories that ordinary indigenous ant hunting ant warriors have never known.
For example, regarding the "fallen" parasitic ants, they are almost like the shadow of the scythe ants. In the era and place where there were scythe ants, they also existed, following them like a shadow and unable to be driven away.
The information packets left by the inheritors of each generation of male ants contain information about fighting the "fallen ones". Although many of the distant information packets are difficult to read, and they even have to be corroborated by the narration of newer information packets, but like Such important information about the appearance of "The Fallen" is often placed in the most important position in the information package, which also facilitates Kite's inquiries.
This also illustrates how common the "fallen" are. In the eyes of ants, the fallen are plagues, zombies, and disasters. But in a larger perspective, is this also part of the ecosystem?
Judging from the historical information package, "doomsday wars" also broke out frequently. The last "doomsday war" was not as long ago as most ants imagined. About every three or five generations of male ants leave information packets containing messages about the "Doomsday War".
If calculated based on the average lifespan of the indigenous male ants, which is about twenty years, a "doomsday war" will break out. Calculated, the era that Kite is currently living in is exactly within the outbreak period of the "Doomsday War" - the last "Doomsday War" broke out during the first three generations of male ants.
However, what is inconsistent with the information in the information packets handed down from the old era, and inconsistent with Kite's memory, is the wave of "fallen ones" that have just been eliminated, as well as the large number of small-scale parasitic ants that the "holy allies" have encountered recently. Its combat effectiveness is very low, not even as powerful as the "Fallen Ones" it encountered near its old tribe in the past. This is not like the legendary "Fallen Ones" in the "Doomsday War" where the "Fallen Ones" were densely packed like a tide and powerful. The brave warriors looked desperate.
This group of "fallen ones" who were eliminated include both fallen ones who were infected from the same clan of scythe-hunting ferocious ants, as well as fallen ones from other "outsiders", such as the big-headed ants and shopkeepers like the legion of the Divine Envoy King to which he now belongs. Road ants, or ants that are more common in hilly areas such as abdominal ants and corn ants.
These ants came from different races, but they were all infected. Hundreds of them were mixed and grouped together, but there was no conscious tactical coordination between them to bring out the fighting talents of different races. There was no complementation at all, they just swarmed up in a chaotic manner.
In the past, warriors who have fought against the "Fallen" all said that when facing the Fallen of their own race, they can clearly feel that the opponent's power is far greater than that of ordinary warriors. This is a terrifying characteristic of the "Fallen". Anyone infected Fallen ants can gain more power.
But among the small army of Fallen that were eliminated this time, the dozen or so Fallen Ant Hunters were very weak, and their strength was not even strong enough to match the ordinary Ant Hunter warriors.
Kite does not know the specific situation of the previous "Doomsday War". The male ants hiding in the rear can provide very limited information. They will only record the large numbers of warriors of their own tribe who rushed to the battlefield and died on the battlefield. A large number of tribesmen Macroscopic information such as being destroyed and large hilly areas falling under the control of the Fallen.
They have no way of knowing and will not record the specific feelings of the soldiers during the battle. There are no clues about the enemy's strategy and tactics, nor how they were defeated in the end.
In the past, Kite did not want to understand the suspense, but after the protagonist asked him for information about the "Doomsday War" and raised the above questions, Kite also felt something was wrong.
——I am the dividing line——
That night, in the loose coalition camp of the "Holy Allies", when the other ants had rested and no longer left their comfortable underground caves, a male ant poked his head out of his nest and carefully explored the bright moonlight. The surrounding situation is hazy and clear.
After confirming that there was no abnormality in the surrounding area, and that there was no threat from ferocious insects or the activities of other indigenous ferocious ant-hunting warriors, the male ant quickly left the underground nest, followed by three warriors.
This male ant is the kite. He leads his guards cautiously forward in the shadows under the moonlight. If there is any disturbance, he will temporarily stay dormant.
Fortunately, the Allied soldiers obviously don't like to go out at night, and the fierce insects that appear at night are not everywhere, especially these fierce insects are not willing to provoke a large number of tough existences such as scythe-hunting ants, and have already stayed away. this area.
Therefore, the kite and the guards arrived at their destination without any trouble - an elm tree not far outside the camp and higher on the hills.
Kite climbed up with ease, and found his target in a tree hole in a fork in the middle and upper part of the trunk - a large worker ant belonging to the Angel King's legion.
This big worker ant belongs to the Flying Knight Unit. She and several other companions are responsible for taking turns connecting with the kite. The connecting time is every three nights.
The kite will hand over the synthesized information package of three days of intelligence to the flying knight. The flying knight will rest temporarily in a tree hole for one night and fly back quickly the next day.
No matter whether the protagonist is in [Dongyang City], [Stone Pillar City] or [Great Lake City], he can get the news from the south immediately.
With the support of intelligence, the protagonist is also stepping up preparations for war against parasitic ants.
After confirming that the indigenous coalition of scythe ant hunters is temporarily sufficient to deal with the parasitic ants that continue to emerge in the swamp, the protagonist can safely build his fleet and stock up on supplies.
At present, more than half of the walnut fleet has been built. A large number of completed walnut boats are coated with some toxic vegetable oils and then buried under the gravel to reduce the threats of wind, sun, rain, and insects.
When all the walnut boats are built, these boats will be gradually launched and connected together to form a chain fleet.
The first batch of legions to board the fleet have also been selected, and Lambert's 4th legion was selected because of its expertise in defensive operations. After all, the primary task of the vanguard is to establish and hold a beachhead in the swamp for the follow-up troops, and defensive capabilities are the most urgent need.
At this time, the 4th Army Corps had already settled in [Great Lake City] and was conducting water training on the first experimental walnut ship.
