In recent days, the Destroyers have had some headaches.
The retaliatory attack on crabs had just lasted three or four days, but the resistance they encountered became increasingly fierce.
Moreover, these resistances do not come from those primitive Cancers who only know how to rely on instinct and fight independently, but from the old enemies of the Destroyers.
In fact, these old enemies have gathered into an army and launched a counterattack. The war has begun to become fierce. The progress of the Destroyer's war on the south bank of the river is not as devastating as before.
——I am the dividing line——
It turns out that parasitic bacteria have begun to overrun the area of [New Yancheng], and the protagonist doesn't know whether to be happy or smile bitterly.
Indeed, the war beasts infected by parasitic bacteria have gathered together. They are very close to [New Yancheng] and have already fought with the Destroyer. The battle between the two sides is very fierce, and before it rained, the parasitic war beasts had the upper hand. , the Destroyers had to shrink their troops and recall some of the troops scattered across various places to loot, achieving the protagonist's previous intention of using fire to fight fire, delaying the Destroyer's attack, and gaining time to evacuate.
However, the place where parasitic bacteria are overflowing was the territory of the Angel King's Legion not long ago. Now there is an additional demon wandering in this homeland. Even if the ants have moved away, the protagonist feels very unhappy. Moreover, this demon was forced to be released by himself.
The protagonist gnashed his jaw and decided to withdraw anyway, so why not stir up the water a little more. If the power of the parasitic bacteria can develop to compete with the Destroyer, the powerful God's Envoy King's army can also profit from it in the future when it regains its homeland.
Therefore, in the next few days, except for those flying knights who were sent to tug the ship, the other flying knights acted as biochemical weapons and released a large number of nearly mature parasitic strains.
In addition to the nearby places such as [New Yancheng], [Malachite City], and [Sitong City], the destinations are also placed in more distant places.
Even as far north as the river, parasitic bacteria were released. Especially those nests that were occupied and then abandoned by the Destroyer, have now become a paradise for wild bugs. The warriors of the God's Envoy King put parasitic strains on the garbage dumps of the original nests, and sources of infection were quickly formed here.
The parasite grows and reproduces very quickly, and the protagonist feels that it is comparable to a virus. Now this viral spread will become a nightmare for the destroyer.
On May 7th, not only was the main force of the Destroyer restrained in [New Yancheng] by a large number of parasitic war beasts, but waves of insects also broke out on both sides of the river under their control. For a moment, it seemed that the Destroyers were in full decline, and even the protagonist was considering whether to hold on to [Dongyang City] and retain a stronghold on the south bank of the river under this situation.
——I am the dividing line——
Because the wind direction was favorable, although the streams swelled in spring and the resistance brought by the current increased, the walnut boat fleet arrived in [Swamp City] ahead of schedule on May 6 and began unloading.
Lambo Wan and Lambo Tu had already learned in advance that the main force would be moving to the local area. In addition to defending against attacks by parasitic war beasts recently, they also deployed ant hands to expand their nests.
As for the large troops migrating on the road, after they joined the ants in [Southern City] and its surroundings, they formed a huge team of more than 200,000 people, carrying household supplies and food, and slowly entered the mountains and headed towards the swamps.
The sudden appearance of so many alien ants in hilly and mountainous areas with sparse ant colonies naturally aroused the vigilance of the local indigenous ant-hunting ants.
Although the Hunter Ants of the Divine Envoy King's Legion struck up a conversation with these kin, they obviously failed to dispel the concerns of the Holy Alliance of Hunter Ants.
The tribal alliance of hunting sickle ants launched several large and small offensives against the army of the Angel King. However, faced with the elite equipment of the main force of the Angel King's army and the counterattack of the beetle troops, they suffered heavy losses.
After realizing that the Angel King's army was indeed passing through the border and had no intention of attacking the Sickle Ant tribe in a large scale, even the bellicose Sickle Ants could only choose not to touch the eggs with stones and maintained restraint. He was on alert and watched the legions of the God's Envoy King crossing the border.
After passing through the activity range of the Sickle Ants, the Angel King Legion encountered corn ants, small yellow house ants, big black ants, stink ants and other forces along the way. These races did not form a strong empire or alliance. , but live scattered in the mountains and forests and on the mountain plains, and their strength and combat effectiveness cannot keep up with the Holy Alliance.
The legion of the Divine Envoy King is not moving fast, not only due to too much luggage, but also due to the harassment launched by the enemy from time to time.
At the same time, although the army carried a lot of food on the road, it was not like the original nest that received food income every day, and the food in stock was constantly being eaten up.
In order to make up for the lack of food, every time they went to a food-rich place, the Divine Envoy King's Legion would organize gatherings and hunting, and try to collect as much food as possible before setting off again.
In the face of some highly hostile ants, the Angel King's legion will also raid their nests, seize their stored food, and even harvest the eggs and pupae of these foreign ants as food.
At the request of the protagonist, the warriors of the Angel King also tried to capture the ant queens who had surrendered other ant races, but failed, but they captured several female ant eggs.
Wherever the God Envoy King's army passed, there was a mess. The ants that dared to resist were exterminated or driven away, the plants were collected like fishing in the dry lake, and the prey were hunted or scared away.
The protagonist even feels that the actions of the God Envoy King Army are no different from the Destroyers invading the territories of other ant tribes. Even the Destroyers will not harm other insects, but just stare at the ants.
But in order to survive, this is the only way. No matter what the environment, the cruel competition and strife between living things are all in the final analysis for survival.
On May 7, the migratory army had already advanced more than one-third of the way, which was slower than expected. This was mainly because it had rained twice in the past few days. The ants, who sensed abnormal air pressure and humidity, needed to find a place urgently. Take shelter from the rain.
Due to natural disasters and battles along the way, the migrating army also lost more than 10,000 ant colonies.
——I am the dividing line——
The recent rains have not only affected the migrating Divine Envoy King's legions, but also the Destroyers and Parasitic War Beasts who have repeatedly fought in the [New Yancheng] area.
While taking shelter from the rain, the Destroyers took the opportunity to gather their scattered troops, regroup, and launch a large-scale siege after the rain.
Their targets are thousands of infected parasitic beasts. Among these parasitic beasts are huge crabs, fierce scorpions, wasps, and even originally docile millipedes and dung beetles. It is also extremely ferocious after being parasitized.
In the eyes of the Destroyer, these parasitized enemies are more mocking than other ants. Perhaps from the perspective of the parasitic bacteria, the other party is also the same.
