The sun rises in the east, sets in the west, and rises in the east again.
Snowflakes fall, melt, and fall again.
The north wind comes, blows away, and comes again.
Winter is approaching, coming and going.
The sun and the moon rotated, time alternated, and three months passed quickly in the whole world in the silence of winter.
The accumulated old snow has melted, the northern wind has stopped coming, and the warm wind from the south has awakened the buds of the trees, but the most cold-resistant insects have not yet awakened.
Spring has arrived quietly, and the protagonist has spent more than two months in [Linshui City] in a hazy state.
These were two dull and boring months, two months of hiding in an underground lair. Only when the weather is good, the protagonist dares to come out for air. The flying knights in the sky and the pavement ant messengers on the ground also rush to several sub-nests along the river to exchange military information.
But the Destroyers never launched an attack, which made the protagonist feel lucky but also vaguely uneasy.
The protagonist in winter is not idle and bored all day long. He drilled several garrisoned legions in [Linshui City] and practiced new tactics using the Destroyer as the imaginary enemy.
Facing the Destroyer, the tight-knit razor tactics used by the Angel King's army no longer worked. This tactic was more suitable for dealing with ants whose size was not much different from that of Big-headed Ant Soldiers, and was more suitable for fighting in array.
But it is almost useless against the Destroyers who are huge in size and have powerful individual combat capabilities. After all, the core of the razor tactics is rapid killing during the confrontation, and the Destroyers will not give you a chance for confrontation at all.
When the Legion of the God Envoy King fought against the Destroyer, they had to revert to their original tactics and rely on numbers to besiege, resulting in heavy losses.
The protagonist has studied the tactic for a whole winter, which is an upgraded version of this siege tactic.
Since we cannot maintain a tight formation in the face of the Destroyer, we might as well take the initiative to disperse, but we must do so in an orderly manner and without chaos.
The protagonist divides each of the 50 warriors in the Angel King's team into five squads, each consisting of ten warriors. The oldest enemy soldier ant is the commander of the squad.
When encountering enemies, each squad will be responsible for dealing with three Destroyers. One of the detachments protected the male ant commander, one detachment served as a reserve team, and the other three detachments each besieged a Destroyer.
Six of the ten warriors responsible for the siege were responsible for biting the six limbs of the Destroyer, and then pulling forcefully to both sides at the same time, forcing the Destroyer to lie on the ground and unable to move. The other four warriors can take the opportunity to climb on the Destroyer's back and look for weak points to attack.
The core of this tactic is to avoid the front jaws of the Destroyer. Once bitten by the jaws, it will be immediately cut into two pieces. Fortunately, as long as the Destroyer can be suppressed to the ground, the attack range of its jaws will be very limited.
Therefore, the four warriors responsible for the final attack on the weak point still need to attract the attention of the destroyer and create opportunities for their comrades before the six comrades bite the six limbs.
Once there are casualties within the team, the reserve team must send soldiers to cover them. Once the three combat teams and the reserve team have all suffered casualties, this team will have to retreat and the male ant commander must be preserved.
This is the siege tactic developed by the protagonist, which relies on the cooperation of each soldier. In theory, it can be enough to compete with an enemy that is powerful but does not cooperate tacitly in a field battle.
However, theories always need to be tested in practice. With the arrival of spring, the protagonist has already planned to lead his troops to find trouble with small-scale destroyers after the flowers bloom.
He didn't know that the Destroyers had actually arrived on the south bank of the river.
I am the dividing line
According to the record on the protagonist's calendar, today is March 4, 2015. It has been five years since the protagonist came to this world.
Two months ago, during this year's Spring Festival, the dinner that day was not a big one. On the first day of the year, the protagonist felt quite lonely.
The other ants could not understand this feeling of loneliness, so the protagonist hastily hosted the traditional Spring Festival banquet, and then went back to his dormitory alone.
Time will dilute all emotions. As of today, the protagonist has already calmed down from the busyness.
Outside the nest, there have been two spring rains in the past few days, and the entire land is changing into a bright green shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Plants are the first to respond to spring. The big banyan tree has been put on new clothes, and then it is the turn of insects.
The cold-resistant pavement ants can now move outdoors without any scruples. They have discovered that some beetles and worms that have been dormant all winter have appeared in twos and threes.
The big-headed ants also try to take steps, taking the first step out of the nest where they have lived all winter.
In this world, the ants are back again.
I am the dividing line
After the beginning of spring, the common practice of big-headed ants is to send messengers to each sub-nest to exchange information.
After all, for a whole winter of three months, each nest is almost isolated from the outside world, and many unexpected situations may occur. For example, in the history of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, the entire nest was destroyed due to natural disasters in winter.
The protagonist flew back to [Qingqiu City] to preside over this work, but the Divine Envoy King's legion has replaced the traditional messenger with flying knights, and this "spring ceremony" can be completed within a day or two.
On the tall anthills of Qingqiu City, a hundred fly knights were ready for battle. In the background was a field that was already green and full of early flowers.
The protagonist briefly gave instructions to the flying knights using scent and friction sounds, and the flying knights flew into the sky one after another.
What is more interesting is that when taking off in a cluster, the bee flying knights often take off in batches from front to back, while the fly flying knights rush into the sky together with a "hula".
This is consistent with the physiological habits of mounts. Bees live in a hive and need to leave the hive entrance in batches. If there is a traffic jam at the hive entrance, "traffic accidents" in which bees collide often occur.
Flies, on the other hand, are more sensitive and have no collective consciousness at all. They can naturally fly whenever they want. Anyway, their reaction speed and maneuverability ensure that they will not crash.
You can imagine that if you take a fly swatter and hit a group of flies, the group of flies will definitely fly away together, and it is impossible to wait for the previous ones to finish flying before starting.
After sending the flying knights away, the protagonist continued to deal with some general affairs in [Qingqiu City]. When you rule and manage a country with a population of more than one million, there are naturally a lot of things to do.
For example, this year's wedding flight ceremony will soon be prepared, which is a major event related to the inheritance of the Divine Envoy King's army from generation to generation.
Also, how to determine the breeding number of this year’s giant worker ants must be decided by the protagonist.
Just when I was extremely busy, in the evening, the flying knights brought bad news!
