The protagonist wakes up. In the extremely weak light, there is a simple interior without even fluorescent bacteria. The furnishings are extremely simple. "Family with four walls" is a realistic word here.
The protagonist quickly sees clearly that he is lying on a ball of ant silk wounds, and is surrounded by a group of ants.
They are the male ants and soldier ants of the Divine Envoy King’s legion!
Rambowan, Rambotu, some familiar and unfamiliar male ants, some familiar and unfamiliar soldier ants.
The protagonist slowly sat up, and Lambo Wan and Lambo Tu hurriedly came closer, shrunk and stretched out their tentacles, their actions appeared careful and humble.
"Where am I?" The protagonist put two tentacles on the tentacles of the two legion commanders and asked.
In the noisy replies of the two male ants, the protagonist gradually recovered from the hysteria of the deep dream, became clear again, and reintegrated into the world, just like when he emerged from the pupa and integrated into the world.
At this time, he gradually forgot the content of the dream, memory, obsession, and prophecy. All of them were hidden again, unable to be felt, touched, or remembered.
But there will always be a day when the shackles will be broken.
After his mind slowly became clear, the protagonist finally understood his current situation.
He was unconscious for a little while, and it was now the second half of the night.
During the daytime battle, the protagonist and many ants are knocked down by the parasitic venom sprayed by the parasitic centipede. Seeing the King of Gods in danger, the soldiers of the King of Gods behind him rushed forward one after another, trying to rescue their leader.
At this time, fortunately, in order to get through the passage, the parasitic centipede opened the dead body of the parasitic dung beetle that blocked the passage. Air convection was formed between the suddenly opened passage and the unblocked vent, and the heat accumulated in the fierce battle caused the outside to The moist enemy cold air rushed in quickly, and a strong wind blew away the remaining poisonous mist.
The warriors of the God Envoy King at the rear paid a lot of price and fought hard to rescue the protagonist and some other unconscious companions, and placed them deep in the ant mound.
Fortunately, this venom has no other side effects on the body. You must know that the protagonist has personally seen the red corrosive poisonous mist sprayed by another centipede corrode and melt an ant to death.
The battle continued, and the defenders, who had lost their commander-in-chief, managed to survive until the end with the support of Rambotu. The battle during the day was extremely fierce, but night finally came. As the enemy withdrew, Rambo Wan, who was far away in [Swamp City], learned of the protagonist's situation and hurried over to guard here with Rambo Tu.
While the protagonist was in coma, the two legion commanders had to step in and command their men to clean the battlefield and repair the nest. The complicated and trivial work gave them an unprecedented understanding of the difficulty of the God Envoy King who has been managing all this.
While the God Envoy King was in coma, male ant commanders kept coming to visit. Seeing the unconscious God Envoy King, the commanders were panic-stricken. Lambo Wan and Lambo Tu had to spend a lot of effort to appease their subordinates. Down.
For every additional hour the protagonist is unconscious, the male ants become more restless and anxious, and Rambowan and Rambotu suffer for an hour.
You only know how to cherish when you lose it. This sentence is also a correct description of the psychology of ants. Hope that the God Envoy King will wake up and continue to lead everyone has become the only wish of the male ants present.
Finally, the God Envoy King woke up, and all the male ants present showed unprecedented humility. This was surrender from the bottom of their hearts.
The protagonist finally came to his senses completely and asked about the battle situation during the day.
The battle during the day was extremely brutal for the defenders. Rambotu's Fourth Army was almost crippled. Eleven of the fifty-two squads were wiped out, and the rest were basically destroyed by more than half. There were 2,600 soldiers in the entire army. There are only more than 600 combat-effective soldiers and more than 400 wounded soldiers left.
It can be said that Rambotu's troops have lost the strength to continue fighting. Fortunately, most of the male ant commanders have survived. If they can be supplemented by soldier ant warriors, this army can recover quickly.
But precisely, in the swamp area, the protagonist has no way to replenish the strength of the Fourth Army.
Lambowan's troops stayed in [Swamp City] and did not participate in today's battle, but their strength was not lost. However, the Third Army is good at offensive operations. If it replaces the Fourth Army and engages in a bridgehead defense tomorrow, it will end up no better than the Fourth Army.
The protagonist cannot afford to lose the only two legions at hand in two days.
It was now midnight, and the defenders had not made any preparations for war except for cleaning the battlefield and making simple repairs to the anthills.
Now that the King of Gods has woken up, everyone has found their backbone, but everyone has witnessed the brutal battle during the day. Even those who are as warlike as ants, these male ants who are smarter and more "selfish" and cherish their lives, still have lingering fears.
In this kind of battle with no hope of victory, even the Divine Envoy King's Legion would find it difficult to persist for a long time.
There is not much time left before dawn. The protagonist must make an immediate decision. How to deal with it?
The protagonist pondered for a moment and had to accept the fact! Subsequently, the remaining defenders began to retreat to [Swamp City] through the rope bridge. With the water barrier, it was relatively safe here.
As for the bridgehead, it can only be given up temporarily, but the protagonist does not intend to leave it intact to the enemy.
The gaps that had just been filled and repaired were not completely dry yet, so they were opened again under the protagonist's order, and the anthill returned to its scarred state again.
The protagonist had just recovered, but he had to get up and, together with other ant warriors, filled the entrances and exits with large and small stones.
After some actions, this ant mound has become difficult to continue to use. The protagonist hopes to use this method to prevent the enemy from occupying here.
Even if the next time the Divine Envoy King's army comes back, it will take ten times and a hundred times more effort to rebuild, it is still better than having to attack the enemy's heavily defended stronghold.
After all the ants retreated to the other end of the rope bridge, the bee flying knights untied the knot tied to the shrub at this end of the rope bridge.
Under the action of gravity, the rope bridge hung down from the middle and fell into the water. It did not stir up a single wave, only circles of ripples drifted away, creating small ripples on the swamp water.
"Maybe we can be just like this rope bridge!" the protagonist said to himself, but no ants could understand his emotional words anyway.
"I always think of shaking the swamp, but in fact I can't even make waves!"
The protagonist shook his head to get rid of the pessimistic mood. Fortunately, he has an optimistic temper, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to adapt quickly after turning into an ant.
Later, the protagonist and the ant warriors worked together to pull the rope bridge that had fallen into the water to the shore bit by bit, coiled it together, and piled it in the open air, waiting for the sun to dry it the next day.
This thick rope will remain, because the rope bridge will one day be rebuilt, and the Angel King's army will one day conquer the swamp!
