The day after the Divine Envoy King's army retreated south, the Pavement Ant Imperial Army did not pursue them.
The pavement ant empire army is currently busy pacifying most of the northern territory that has just been occupied, clearing out the remote nests of the leafcutter ant kingdom that they had not had time to conquer before, and then placing more troops from the mainland north of the gravel land.
Before the first batch of millions of troops are all assembled in [Beisong City], the Pavement Ant Imperial Army will probably not go south immediately.
The Pavement Ant Imperial Army did not pursue them, but Chun Yu chased after the Divine Envoy King's army. Not long after they set out on the road, it continued to rain for a whole day.
The spring rain came quickly this time. Since the air humidity was always relatively high and the pressure did not change significantly during the continuous drizzle, the Divine Envoy King Corps did not foresee the rain until very late.
At this time, it was too late to immediately build a camping ground that could accommodate 50,000 troops. This workload was not small and could not be completed in a hurry. The Angel King's army was forced to move into a clump of dense grass. The dense grass blades could temporarily block part of the rain, making the soldiers of the Angel King shivering in the cold wind and rain feel a little better.
The soldiers of the God's Envoy King began construction in a hurry on the wet soil. Each one covered in mud and water, they quickly and slowly built a camp.
Although the warriors of the God Envoy King on the ground have grass to protect them from the wind and rain, the grass is not an umbrella or raincoat. Sporadic raindrops seep in from time to time, and the cool wind accompanying the rainfall blows into the grass uncontrollably, making the protagonist feel a little cold. No, let alone other warriors of the God Envoy King.
It was early May, which was supposed to be late spring, but this rain was quite chilly in early spring.
It wasn't until everyone hid in the underground camp that they felt better. The warriors of the God's Envoy King helped each other wipe away the water droplets on their bodies, took care of the flies and beetles that were also shivering, and then drank the dirty water droplets that seeped into the nest camp. Ate some dry food.
The legions of the Divine Envoys carried enough dry food for two days. Each legion had several specialized teams carrying ant silk packages containing the dry food for the entire army. The dry food was also wet at this time, but at least it was enough to fill my stomach.
It rained all day, and it continued to rain sparsely at night. The rain intensified early the next morning, and the sun didn't appear until noon.
At this time, the Angel King's army only had one day of rations left. The protagonist ordered the entire army to have a full meal. After eating all the dry food, they set off lightly. At the same time, the Flying Knight sent a small team south to find the food transport team who did not know where it was delayed. Join the army retreating south as soon as possible.
When they went north, the Angel King's army only carried a small amount of food, and the same was true for the leaf-cutter ant army. There were several groups of transportation troops behind them responsible for continuing to provide food. The spring rain delayed nearly two days, not only the Angel King's army, Even the leaf-cutting ant army in the north, which was still reorganizing in the fortress, was about to run out of food.
When the Angel King's army continued to retreat southward after the rain, the leaf-cutter ant army that had just left the fortress had also eaten up all their dry food. They did not have flying knights to contact the food transport team. If the food transport team failed to find it on their own, they would All we can do is starve. Fortunately, it doesn't matter if the ants are usually hungry for three or two days. In the past, during battles, such interruptions would appear every now and then. Many veterans have become accustomed to it!

The news brought back by the flying knight was not optimistic. Yesterday's rain was too sudden, or it had been brewing for too long. The air was filled with high humidity early, but the rain came very late. Even the ants were already aware of this. The dangerous humidity was numbing.
The nearest grain transport team was also hit by the rain. At that time, they happened to be on a rocky beach that was difficult to dig. They did not have enough ants to build a camp, and there were no tree holes or stone holes nearby, so they could only pick up food one by one. Carrying grain bags on their backs, they hid under a bush growing out of a rock crevice and endured hardships. In the end, dozens of them drowned and froze to death, and many of the grains were soaked in water.
The protagonist asked the grain transport team to turn south and move to the rocky beach to build a camp in advance and wait for the main force to arrive and rest.
At dusk that day, the Divine Envoy King's army had not yet joined the grain transport team, and it was getting dark, so they camped again. Because they were worried that the rain would come quietly again, the Divine Envoy King's Army had to stop early and start building a campsite.
Another day later, the God's Envoy King's army set out again early in the morning, but unexpectedly they were attacked in the morning.
The attack came from the sky. At that time, the protagonist was in the middle of the long marching team and suddenly noticed something. When he looked up, he saw the accompanying flying knights in the sky eagerly drawing a flight path that represented an early warning.
Looking up to the north, I saw a black cloud approaching - it was a cloud composed of hundreds of "mosquitoes"!
Enemy attack! Air strike!
The protagonist didn't expect that the enemy would send an air force alone to chase him so far away! Could it be that they want to repeat what they did to the leaf-cutting ant army before? ?
The Angel King's army is not an army of leaf-cutting ants, it is covered by the air force!
At this time, the flying knights in the sky dispersed from each other, some were patrolling the periphery, some were flying with the army, and some were far away in the south to contact other troops and transport teams.
At the beginning, the 20 flying knights in the north were the first to discover the enemy's traces. In order to cover the army, they took the initiative to meet them.
The Flying Knight commander felt that his speed was enough to ensure safety, and they were not going to stop fighting. They planned to throw a few fire bombs to attract the enemy away and then use their speed advantage to turn back.
Due to the distance competition, the Flying Knight Commander was unable to take advantage of the height in advance as required before, and could only climb closer to the enemy while climbing.
But what the flying knights did not expect was that the air has been too humid recently, and the wings of the fly mounts are somewhat damp. It is not obvious when flying at a slow speed, and they cannot exert force when they need to accelerate.
The wings of the enemy's "mosquitoes" were also flooded at night, but in comparison, the flying speed of flies dropped even more. The flying knights were also accustomed to the normal speed. A mistake in judgment caused the 20 flying knights to climb during the climb. was entangled by enemy troops.
After a close fight, only 7 of the 20 flying knights escaped, and the rest were all killed. Even the bodies were not recovered, and they were carried north by a group of "mosquitoes".
The flying knights had no time to pay attention to the corpses at this time. The "mosquito" swarms had already flown above the army, wandering around looking for something. The protagonist remembered that the "mosquito" troops had beheaded the top commander of the leaf-cutting ant army before, and thought they were looking for me!
Fortunately, the protagonist's body shape is the same as that of other male ants, and there is no special place that can be identified. Unlike the unlucky female leaf-cutting ant - there are only a few female ants in the army. As the highest commander, She also dyed her head red to show her "majesty", which was basically telling the "mosquito" that I was here!
