The first day after the Divine Messenger King's army withdrew southward was uneventful. The baggage troops were in front and most of the combat troops were behind. They had already completed two-thirds of the journey. Seeing that the northern border of the Ant Alliance was close at hand, the next day I'll definitely be there by the next night.
The Flying Knight had already taken advantage of the early morning hours when the "mosquitoes" were not active to return to their home nest to avoid the battle.
But on the second day, the Flying Knights dispatched 100 knights, divided into 10 detachments, and began to cover the skies of the retreating troops. They also sent 2 detachments to go forward to investigate the current status of the central defense line of the Leafcutter Ant Kingdom.
Because late yesterday afternoon, on the way back, a group of "mosquitoes" appeared and hovered overhead when the Angel King's Legion was retreating. However, the other party saw that the Angel King's Legion had a neat lineup and could not identify the commander and could not find an opportunity. These "mosquitoes" left quickly.
But this is a bad sign. The Pavement Ant Empire Army already knows that their troops are moving. If the enemy's appetite is big enough, they may send troops to chase them.
Don’t be afraid if the enemy’s army comes to chase you. The God’s Envoy Army has already evacuated one day in advance. The enemy’s speed is at most a little faster than the God’s Envoy Army that is escorting the baggage. If the army comes to pursue it, it should not be able to catch up. The God’s Envoy Army You can return home the next day.
At this time, the protagonist still doesn't know much about the characteristics of the enemy's silver ant troops.
The main character is worried only about the enemy's air force. The "mosquitoes" were fast and numerous. If they were to land and attack at any cost, the Divine Envoy King's army would not be able to defend themselves. Especially non-combat troops such as baggage troops, if they are really attacked by the enemy, the losses will be considerable. If you accidentally cause the ammunition to explode, it will be great fun!
Even if only a few commanders are damaged, it is not what the protagonist wants to see. In front of the enemy's air force, commanders are really no safer than ordinary soldiers. They are more conspicuous and more likely to be besieged by "mosquitoes".
Due to the retreat, the artillery capable of air defense was firmly fixed on the back of the beetle beast of burden, making it difficult to disassemble. The firing angle of the artillery of the tank troops was very low and it was inconvenient to shoot in the air. The Angel King's army now had no ground anti-aircraft firepower.
Therefore, air defense can only rely on the flying knight troops. With hundreds of flying knights, it should not be a problem to deal with hundreds of "mosquitoes". If it doesn't work, you can still find a way to lure the enemy away.

Walking all the way to near noon, the sun was shining fiercely. In early May, the power of summer had begun to show.
It had been raining a while ago, but now the sun was shining brightly, and mist was steaming from the ground everywhere. Looking into the distance, it seemed to be covered by a dense haze, which greatly narrowed the field of vision of the flying knights.
Neither the enemy troops on the ground nor the "mosquitoes" in the air showed up, but the protagonist vaguely heard the sound of "buzzing, buzzing" wings vibrating.
Could it be that the "mosquito" seemed to be nearby, looking for them, but was temporarily unable to do so due to the fog?
Soon in the afternoon, the heat of the sun became more intense, the fog began to give way and slowly dispersed. The distant sky seemed like a veil was slowly being pulled apart, and the field of vision finally became clear.
The protagonist led a team of imperial guards and climbed to a nearby tree to take a look. The constant "buzzing" sound that seemed far away made him very irritated and confused. He wanted to find out what was going on. Is it not an enemy "mosquito" nearby, or is it just some other insects causing a misunderstanding?
A group of flying knights protect the protagonist.
When the protagonist climbed up the north branch of the locust tree and looked in the direction from which the army came, the protagonist didn't see any "mosquitoes". Instead, he saw a beehive not far away. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that it was just some bees. The flying knights didn't notice anything unusual either.
He continued to look north. At this time, the army was already more than a mile away from the battlefield. It was blocked by vegetation. The protagonist was not standing at a commanding height and could not see the scene in the distance.
He sighed. He could no longer care about the final fate of the leaf-cutting ant army. He could only wait patiently for the flying knight's return.
At this time, the army has moved forward more than ten meters. The protagonist was originally at the back of the army. After a recent investigation, he fell to the back.
The protagonist leads a group of guardsmen and rushes towards the army.
The escorting flying knights also returned to the main force and joined together. At this moment, the flying knights suddenly drew a warning trajectory collectively!
The "buzzing buzzing" sound comes again, and now the protagonist does not have to look back, and he can no longer deceive himself that it is a swarm of bees!
Sure enough, I don't know when several groups of "mosquitoes" appeared in the rear. Each group could be as small as a hundred or as large as several hundred. In total, there were estimated to be two to three thousand people. They rushed towards the army of the God's Envoy King with murderous intent. Come.
After the flying knights gave the warning, they immediately raised their head to meet them. The fire bombs they threw from the sky drew bright tracks, and the sky seemed to be as beautiful as fireworks blooming.
But hidden in the beauty was murderous intent. Only half of the "Mosquito" troops were attracted by the flying knights, and the remaining half pounced on the Angel King's army on the ground.
Especially the protagonist and the guards who were alone at the end have become perfect targets in the eyes of the other party.
Although the protagonist's appearance is no different from other male ants, and his armor features are not obvious, he is the only male ant among the lone troops and is the largest, making him the primary target of "mosquitoes".
The protagonist has no time to regret the bad luck he has been born with since time travel, and no time to lament why he encountered a crisis just a short time after leaving the main army. Hundreds of "mosquitoes" have already swooped down, preparing to use their best airborne tactics to surround and kill the protagonist.
The guards are all the most elite soldiers. Even if the "mosquitoes" come menacingly, they are not afraid of danger.
The "Mosquito" dives diagonally very quickly, three meters, one meter, two decimeters! Closer, closer, closer!
Just when the leading "mosquito" was less than a decimeter above the ground, and many mosquitoes were already spreading their six limbs and preparing to land, the guards moved!
With a flick of their joints, they jumped up against gravity, accurately hitting and biting mosquitoes in the air. When they landed, the enemy under their jaws had been chopped into two pieces.
The protagonist is even more powerful. When he sees that the target of the "mosquitoes" is himself, he knows that he has no time to run, so he looks around and sees something good.
I saw the protagonist's pair of forelimbs holding a freshly torn piece of green foxtail that was three to four decimeters long. It was dancing above his head so airtight that water could not get in. Every "mosquito" that bumped into it was swept away by the spikes of foxtail grass. Flying, the occasional mosquitoes caught in the trap are also caught and killed by the guards around the protagonist.
Seeing that the first wave of dives failed, more "mosquitoes" were attracted, and they were about to launch a second wave of impact.
At this moment, a guard soldier with good eyesight reported that there were ants on the ground ahead. The protagonist took a closer look and saw a silver light in the distance rushing towards him at an incredible speed!
