When the sky brightened, although there were still too many clouds in the sky, there was still no sunny weather, but the clouds finally stopped pouring raindrops completely. Apart from the moisture filling the sky and the green leaves, there was no sign of a storm. Mark of.
When the protagonist saw that the rain had stopped, he immediately called the guards and asked them to act as messengers to deliver information packets to each cabin to tell the male ants about their current situation. He also asked all legion commanders to have a meeting on a walnut boat in the middle of the fleet. .
At this time, the ants on the ship belong to four legions, namely the 9th legion, the 10th legion, the new 7th legion and the new 8th legion. The legion leaders are respectively the spade elephant, armored ox, centipede python and katydid leopard. .
After about half an hour, the four regiment commanders finally arrived at the meeting place one after another. It was not easy to climb the traffic rope bridge between the ships while sailing, especially when there was no protection at all for such a climb. Once you fall into the turbulent torrent, there is no chance of survival.
Most of the legion commanders, and even the ordinary team captains, are indifferent characters, but they are on a drifting ship and have no qualifications to be pretentious. The protagonist has thoughtfully set the meeting place closer to him. A place far away but close to other legion commanders is considered taking care of them.
The meeting must be held, and even mountains of swords and seas of fire cannot stop it.
When the four legion commanders arrived, the cabin, which was mainly used to store food, already had a space large enough for a meeting due to normal consumption.
The four legion commanders and the protagonist are connected by tentacles to each other, forming a small circle. The legion commanders had already known that the fleet had seriously deviated from the route, and now they seemed a little panicked. After all, the ants were more accustomed to staying on the solid ground, and drifting with the current made them seriously insecure, especially now that they didn't know where they were. Wherever we are, we don’t even know if we can reach our destination.
The four legion commanders of the spade elephant, armored ox, centipede python and katydid leopard themselves are not outstanding among the second batch of male ants. Other high-ranking officials and ministers were sent to carry out the first batch of migration tasks, such as Gun, Lambo Fei and others have already arrived in the swamp. Lambo Wan and Lambo Tu have been sitting in the swamp for a year. There are also some outstanding male ants who died in the war with the Destroyer, such as Ramboser, Ramborui, Rambofo II, Mantis, etc.
It was a last resort to let these four somewhat mediocre legion commanders follow him on the rear mission.
The protagonist doesn't expect them to have any good way to help the fleet get out of trouble. It's better to follow the plan he thought of early and notify each legion to cooperate with him.
The male ants can continue to hide in the cabin, while the ordinary soldiers must assist the sailor ants to raise the sails and adjust the direction of the sails so that the fleet gradually moves closer to the north shore. After finding a suitable location for beaching, a small team must be dispatched to disembark in time and fix the cable to trees or rocks on the shore.
After the order was conveyed, the commanders of each legion returned to the boat to direct their subordinates to actively cooperate. The protagonist continued to sit in the middle for convenient command.
At this time, the sky was finally brighter, the weather turned from overcast to cloudy, and the sunlight shone on the earth in the form of Tyndall beams of light through the gaps in the clouds.
On the raging river, in a fleet of walnut boats that looked like floating objects, the sails were lifted up by the cables pulled by the ants, and the Range Rover on both sides of the crossbar was pulled to adjust the direction to face the northeast.
Dozens of white sails look like clusters of clouds. Under the combined influence of the south wind and the river water, the clouds draw an arc-shaped trajectory on the river, moving toward the northeast and gradually approaching the north bank of the river.
At this time, the protagonist himself does not know how far away the fleet is from the big lake. The river flows very fast. In one night, he may have left his homeland for dozens of kilometers. This is an almost insurmountable distance for insects. Many insects Bugs will never travel so far in their lifetime.
Both sides of the river are unfamiliar scenery, with rolling mountains and hills. These mountains are not high, and the highest one seems to be no more than a few hundred meters. On the other hand, there is a valley area on both sides of the river, with gentle terrain and dense vegetation.
The walnut boat under the protagonist's feet soon heard the violent vibrations of the collision. This was the first boat that had washed up on the beach, and hit the boats behind it under the action of resistance, triggering a series of collisions.
The ants all hid in the cabin, or held on tight to prepare for impact.
After successfully washing the beach, more than a dozen sailor ants jumped off the shore with cables in their mouths. They found a few large stones on a piece of fine pebbles, tied them twice in a circle, and used them as anchors to fix the ship.
Subsequently, the Walnut fleet was hit by the current and pushed a little downstream. However, due to the restraint of the cable, it was thrown diagonally to the shore and got stuck and stopped shaking. About one-third of the walnut boats were stuck on the shore, and two-thirds were still in the water.
The protagonist estimates that as long as the river no longer rises, the walnut fleet can be firmly fixed on the shore without worrying about being washed away.
The protagonist disembarked the ship with the Guards team, and then other legions also disembarked. Some ants were still dangling just after getting off the boat. It was obvious that they had been tortured a lot on the boat all day and night.
The protagonist originally planned to dig a temporary camp nearby after landing, but waited until the flying knight came to contact the swamp area.
But now the fleet is washing up on a pebbly river beach. Under the pebbles is a layer of water-rich sand, making it impossible to build a nest.
Leaving the river beach, there is a dense bush, with the sound of insect activity inside. The protagonist does not dare to risk letting the small number of troops go directly.
The protagonist sent four scouts into the bush to find out what was going on inside.
Before these scouts returned, the ants who disembarked were busy themselves.
Those tortured ants on the boat enjoyed the stability of the earth and sunbathed in the sunshine that finally broke through the clouds to dispel the chill and moisture in their bodies.
Other ants were busy checking the boats for damage and counting the damage caused by the storm.
Soon the protagonist got a summary report. The fleet was basically intact in the storm, a few broken ropes were repaired, there was no loss of cargo in the cabin, and a few ant injuries were treated. However, some of the cargo hanging outside the ship has been lost, and there is currently no way to replace it. Fortunately, they are all unimportant items.
Some ants also looked for some fresh food on the river beach, such as algae and shrimps.
There was no way to light a fire now, so the protagonist could only eat some raw shrimp meat and algae. Everyone filled their stomachs and put some long-lasting food such as dried algae into the cabin.
