On the way back, the cold wind became even more severe.
This is an unusual spring. Late spring cold is normal, but it is abnormal for the weather to be still cold and winter-like in mid-March.
Now, even the winter jasmine and magnolia that should have bloomed long ago are still just buds and have not bloomed into a beautiful yellow and white color. The leaf buds of other plants have also sprouted early, but there has never been enough temperature to grow.
If this kind of weather continues until the end of the month, a large number of plants and insects will freeze to death. Even if the God's Envoy Army has breeding farms and farmland, the harvested food will be greatly reduced! The protagonist returns to the main nest [Qingqiu City] with concerns about the climate.
What he didn't notice was what happened on the south bank of the river when they were returning.
On the south bank of the river, near the river bank [to the West City], many Destroyers were frightened by the earth-shattering explosions and ran around. The Destroyer Commander could only suppress some of the Destroyers around him, while the other Destroyers could only wait for them. Calm yourself down and return to the team.
After all, this is the escape instinct of creatures from the unknown and fear, and being as powerful as the Destroyer is no exception.
One of the Destroyers running around suddenly found something warm, something very familiar.
This is a white egg-shaped object, a nut shell. If it were just a nut shell, the destroyer would not pay so much attention to it. Inside the nut shell, the Destroyer sensed a mysterious ball.
It was a tinder shell that failed to explode.
This nut shell will explode if it explodes from the inside, but if the impact comes from the outside, its round, egg-shaped shell can withstand the extreme pressure without breaking.
When the fire shells were detonated one after another, the flame inside the fire shell was very weak and was no longer enough to detonate the three mysterious balls inside.
In the surrounding explosions, the nut shell was blown to the south bank by the shock wave. During the continuous flipping, two mysterious balls fell out, leaving only one mysterious ball left in the nut shell. At this time, inside The flame was finally completely extinguished.
The Destroyer explored for a while and quickly turned around to find the commander.
Guarded by several Destroyer Gongs, the commander carefully rubbed and looked at the nut shell with his tentacles, and from time to time looked towards the river where the aftermath was still intact.
If the protagonist were here, he would be able to see an emotion in the Destroyer Commander's compound eyes - a thoughtful emotion.
——I am the dividing line——
After the protagonist returned to [Qingqiu City], he quickly returned to [Trench City] against the wind, and his team of guards had already settled here in advance.
After successfully blocking the possibility of the Destroyer crossing the river, the Destroyer on the south bank of the river was finally isolated and helpless, and it was time for the God Envoy King's army to close the door and beat the dog.
But now, with the arrival of another late spring cold, the counterattack can only stay in the brewing stage. The Divine Envoy King's Army still needs to defend the two strategic locations of [Trench City] and [Sitong City] before planning other attacks. .
The protagonist has already laid out a counterattack plan when he was in [Qingqiu City] and is just waiting for this late spring cold to pass.
In the afternoon, the north wind became stronger, and a late spring cold arrived as scheduled. The temperature once approached zero. The warriors of the God Envoy King from all over the country hibernated again, but this time, they hibernated with the anger of revenge.
The second late spring cold came and went even faster. The north wind passed through in just one night, and on the third day, the humid air from the south came back in force. A hearty spring rain irrigated the earth, and the breath of spring It finally became intense.
When the protagonist crossed out the date of March 18th in the lair, and then got out of the hole in [Trench City], a moist and warm feeling hit his face.
In just two days, the green grass everywhere has been eagerly vying to sprout. The tender green grass carpet has covered almost every corner of the earth. All kinds of spring flowers are blooming, and the trees have belatedly begun to sprout leaf buds.
The protagonist admires the beautiful scenery of spring for a moment and laments that spring and autumn are so fast, one scene per day.
No matter how long it has been delayed, spring has finally arrived, and the counterattack plan of the Divine Envoy King's Legion can be put on the agenda.
During the two days of cold spring, the Destroyers did not take the opportunity to attack Trench City. This did not surprise the protagonist. Therefore, as soon as the weather improved, the protagonist was eager to understand the situation of the battle.
The flying knights of [Qingqiu City] have already gone out for reconnaissance. When the protagonist came out of the cave, he looked up and saw the figures of several flying knights. They would have to wait until later to report back, so the protagonist could only wait patiently.
The worker ants in [Trench City] have gone out to search for food, and the warriors of the Angel King have also set up a cordon in the wild.
Because the protagonist had to wait for the flying knight, he did not dare to go too far away from the mouth. He simply lay on a small piece of dried moss, with his back on the ground and his belly facing the sky to bask in the sun. Xiao Qing II was tied to the side by ant silk. Although I can't fly freely, I am still enjoying the dual services of sunbathing and honeydew.
The protagonist suddenly felt a little like "Tempest". This jumping spider was also restless. It stayed underground in [Linshui City] all winter and was probably exhausted. Unfortunately, the protagonist had to fly around to direct the war and had no time to take care of it. Other worker ants probably wouldn't understand the need for a jumping spider to be lively and active, so they would definitely keep it in a small underground nest.
The protagonist thought for a while and decided to ask [Linshui City] to send a team to escort "Tempest" to [Qingqiu City] the next time he sends flying knights to deliver orders.
——I am the dividing line——
After noon, the Flying Knight had passed on the summarized military information.
What the protagonist did not expect was that the main force of the Destroyers, which originally numbered more than 5,000 people to the west of [Trench City], had disappeared and did not attack [Trench City] as originally expected.
There are only about two thousand Destroyers left in place now, divided into four groups, and they are collectively basking in the sun in the wild. It is easy to count them.
The Destroyers like to bask in the sun when there is no fighting and there is sunshine, which makes the Flying Knights' detection easier.
If it is pavement ants or other ants, the flying knights can only estimate the number of ants active on the ground first, and then multiply it by ten to roughly estimate the total number of ants in the nest, so deviations often occur.
That is to say, special ants like the Destroyer, which are huge and cannot see any foraging activities, are easy to detect.
In addition, [Sitong City] is being attacked by more than 3,000 destroyers, but the destroyers are blocked outside the first line of defense. A large number of destroyers are crowded at the ground entrance and are not allowed to enter.
The [Bridgehead] on the north bank of the river also suffered a small-scale attack, which was a whole winter later than originally expected.
