Outside [Great Lake City], there is a beach by the lake.
The lake water waves one after another, lapping at the lake shore all year round. Only when it freezes in winter can it coexist peacefully with the land on the shore.
There wasn't much rain this spring, but the water level in the lake was a little higher than usual, and the lake surface was wider. The water line formed by the waves had already hit a place relatively close to the [Great Lake City] nest.
The protagonist's body is no longer affected, and his recovery ability is amazing. In just two days, he is already as if he has never been injured. It's just that the mealworms in [Dongyang City] have been suffering. The protagonist has had a huge appetite in the past two days and only likes to eat high-energy foods such as roasted fat. The farm has killed dozens of mealworms for the protagonist in the past few days. Tonic.
The protagonist, who has recovered, is now standing high on the shore, looking at the bustling work scene below him.
On the shore of the lake far away from the water, there are thousands of ants busy. Some of them are carrying walnuts or ropes, some are driving mealworms on the walnuts to eat out the strong bud eyes, and some are using ropes, Ant silk, ant glue and wood are being bundled - the ants are rushing to build a second fleet of walnut boats.
The night before yesterday, the protagonist thought about it and felt that with his current strength, he was really unable to resist the invasion of the Destroyer. At this moment, instead of being defeated and forced to disperse and save the fire like the ant barbarian nation, it is better to use the thirty-six tactics to finally One plan, active strategic transition.
The protagonist decided to keep the fire to avoid the sharp edge. The swamp area was far away from the Destroyer's soldiers, and the unique geographical conditions made it possible to hold on even if the Destroyer was encountered. After all, the Destroyer could not have the unlucky luck to blow down a few ancient trees. It just became a natural bridge to cross the water.
Although there are still enemies in the swamp, they are far less dangerous than the Destroyer. Even though there is a lack of resources there, most of the areas have not been explored, so maybe you can find resources containing precious minerals if you look carefully!
The protagonist can only think in a good direction. Under such psychological suggestion, he held a meeting of kings in [Dongyang City], suppressed the main war faction headed by Gun, and decided to move the whole family to the swamp area.
The Angel King Legion now has a stable territory in the swamp area, with four legions of strong garrisons (Rambovan's 3rd legion, Rambotu's 4th legion, Manticore's 11th legion and Spider Wolf's 12th Legion). Moving here is relatively safe, which is one of the reasons why the King's Council finally agreed to the protagonist's "Tinder" plan to preserve his strength.
This will be a magnificent long-distance large-scale migration. There are still hundreds of thousands of surviving ants in the Angel King's army, and the swamp area is far to the southeast.
There are two ways to go from [Dongyang City] to the swamp area.
One is the waterway starting from [Great Lake City]. You must take a boat, pass through the large lakes and streams, and use the traction of water flow, wind and bees to arrive at [Swamp City] in about a week.
This road is relatively safe and fast, but it requires ships. The only existing walnut ship fleet can only transport 3,000 ants and certain supplies at a time, which is far from meeting the needs of the entire family for migration.
The other road is overland, passing through the territory of the Scythe Hunter tribe in the southern hilly area, advancing along the southern shore of the great lake, and then passing through the mountains to reach the swamps.
This road was taken by the parasitic ants who were hunted down by the Divine Envoy King's army. The road was long and the ant forces along the way were complex, which could easily lead to war. But this road requires no transportation and can accommodate large groups of ants.
The protagonist decides to go hand in hand. On the one hand, the walnut ship fleet transports a batch of important supplies and important ants to the swamp area, and at the same time, a new walnut ship fleet is built to increase transportation capacity. On the other hand, except for the troops who stayed behind, other ants carried food and supplies by land and were expected to arrive in the swamp area in two or three weeks. At that time, they would be assisted by walnut boats to reach the islands controlled by the Angel King's army.
Right now, this group of ants is building walnut boats and organizing them into a fleet.
The materials for building walnut boats are all readily available. Last winter, the ants in [Great Lake City] collected a lot of walnuts according to the plan and buried them in sand.
After the beginning of spring, due to the war, part of the ant colony and garrison in [Great Lake City] were transferred, and two legions were dispatched to the swamp area. The ant army was short of manpower and did not build a new walnut ship, but only did some repair work.
So walnuts are ready-made. You just need to peel off the dried walnut skin, use mealworms to chew the holes where the bud eyes appear, then crush the walnut kernels inside and transport them out, retaining the internal structure, and then install sails and other equipment. A walnut boat is completed. Using large amounts of wood and ropes to connect the walnut boats to each other, a new fleet of walnut boats was rapidly taking shape.
Another walnut boat fleet had already set off yesterday. There were about five hundred ants on the boat, mostly queen ants, young worker ants, and the scientific research team of Xiao Secretary II. It also carries a large number of large and medium-sized tools used in workshops, as well as the only small amount of copper ore and other important resources currently left. The fleet, led by the great worker ant flying knight, sailed towards the swamp area, preparing to rebuild the scientific research system and most of the handicraft production capacity as soon as possible.
Other ants are also preparing in various sub-nests. They will meet at [Dongyang City] the day after tomorrow, carry food and supplies and set off south. Along the way, they will meet ants from [Southern City] and other places, and head to the swamp by land.
After Kite's death, the remaining Scythe ants, led by the new commander Kite II, serve as the vanguard of the land forces. If they can maintain peace with their kin in the hilly areas, it will help the army pass through Scythe more safely. The territory of the Holy Alliance of Fierce Ants.
In the past two days, the Destroyers have not launched an attack. They were originally not interested in other insects or animals, and would not attack and hunt these creatures. But it seems that they were angered by the huge losses caused by the crabs in the past few days. They have been causing trouble for the crabs near the salt marsh these days, which gave the Angel King's army a chance to breathe.
But the protagonist still left 10,000 soldiers to defend [Dongyang City] to prevent the Destroyer from attacking. You must know that there are still a large number of valuable materials in [Dongyang City] that are too late to be transported away, and they are not suitable to be taken away by land. A fleet of walnut ships was needed to transport two batches.
The protagonist's plan is to wait until the new fleet is built and the old fleet returns to transport all the supplies, and then the rear troops will escape overland.
But only 10,000 defenders obviously cannot withstand the Destroyer's full attack. The protagonist must use other methods to divert the Destroyer's attention, just like they have focused on strangling crabs these days, in order to buy enough time.
The protagonist has a bold plan and decides to make a desperate move.
