When "Falcon" and the remaining Rangers returned to the Ant Alliance, after Zhu Jue heard the news, he was very happy at first as he was busy recovering from the disaster, and finally removed this thorn in his side and heart.
But not long after, a different kind of sadness came to his heart. Zhu Jue didn't know why this happened, it was obviously a happy thing. Maybe he was depressed because of the ant citizens who died in the flood... This was an illusion...

The news of the annihilation of the North Route Army was quickly reported to the Black Fire Ant Nation by the Ant Alliance. Although the destruction of the North Route Army was "contributed" by the Ant Alliance, Zhu Jue could not make the Black Fire Ant Nation collapse quickly. They needed to understand the war situation and prepare a good response.
The Ant Alliance's flying knight reconnaissance and communication assistance are the most urgent support needed by the Black Fire Ant Nation, which currently lacks air power.
The Flying Knights had learned about the current situation of the West Route Army by observing the battlefield many times before. The King's Conference of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom did not doubt his presence and did not connect the destruction of the North Route Army with the black hands of the Ant Alliance.
The meeting of the kings of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom was a little unstable due to the death of the God Envoy King, but it quickly calmed down and began to respond to the crisis that was approaching and adjust military deployment.
The armies of King "Black Coal" and King "Black Coal" had successfully retreated into the hinterland of the southern border along the Black River. They built a bridge to cross the river in a gentle section of the stream, and returned to the main nest [Black Fire City] yesterday.
Although this army is tired and hungry, they are all veterans who have experienced many battles. They have been supplemented by new recruits. After a period of rest, they can quickly enter new battles.
The defense focus of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom has shrunk. In the past few days, the northern border of the country has basically fallen. However, the fallen ants' soldiers did not enter the southern border. Instead, they gathered forces in the northern and western borders. According to investigation, there are two sides attacking the black fire ant country. Intentions in the middle of fire ant country.
It is better to be attacked from two sides than to be attacked from three sides. The Black Fire Ant Nation must strive to protect its core hinterland. The King's Conference quickly made arrangements. The "Black Coal" King commanded more than 300,000 troops and deployed defenses along the Black Creek in the west. The "Parasite Gun" unit heading eastward. King "Black Tan" commanded more than 200,000 troops to defend the northern border from the parasitic army led by "Parasite Ikkyu".
The Civilized Ant Clan Conference has not yet been held at this time, and representatives of some distant ant tribes have not yet arrived in [Holy Tree City]. It is expected that the representatives will be gathered the day after tomorrow for a formal meeting.
The Black Fire Ant Nation is anxiously waiting for the results of the meeting and assistance from its allies every day. The pressure of destroying the country has made them lose the aloofness they had a month ago.
And the next day, the day before the Civilized Ant Tribe Conference was held, a huge change occurred that shocked the Black Fire Ant Nation and even the entire Civilized Ant Tribe.

Just when the Black Fire Ant Nation deployed its main force on the west and north sides of the hinterland based on the flying knight reconnaissance report provided by the Ant Alliance Nation, the defenders had just taken up their positions.
On this day, suddenly a large number of parasitic beasts appeared on the Black River. They were all aquatic insects, covering almost half of the stream.
King "Black Coal" had just led his troops to station on the east bank of Black Creek after the water rose, and faced off with the troops of his old rival "Parasite Roll" on the west bank.
After hearing the news, King "Black Coal" rushed to the waterside and looked out. He saw a large number of parasitic field turtles emerging from nowhere on the water. They were 12 centimeters long and densely packed like small boats.
There are dozens or hundreds of parasitic ants or some small insect beasts lying on the back of each parasitic field turtle. It is obvious that the visitor is evil. There are also a large number of parasitic water striders, water axes, nymph larvae, and dragon lice, either on the water surface or looming under the water surface. There are no less than thousands of them as far as the eye can see.
King "Black Coal" was filled with only fear for a moment, and he realized the other party's intention - there were so many parasitic water bugs, enough to carry the parasitic ants across the Black River.
The defense plan formulated by King "Black Coal" was to rely on the wide Black Creek after the water rose to block the enemy. This would allow the disadvantaged black fire ant army to take advantage of the terrain as much as possible. But at this time, with the emergence of parasitic water bugs, this plan instantly had a huge flaw.
At this time, even the thousands of parasitic flying insects in the sky were not enough to make King "Black Coal" more frightened. No matter how powerful the flying insects are, they can only fly over on their own and can be restrained by ants that spray formic acid.
However, these parasitic water bugs can walk freely on Black Creek and are a real threat.
The ordering soldiers around King "Black Coal" shuttled around, and the black fire ant legions quickly received the order and lined up on the east bank, preparing to fight.
But smart commanders have realized that something is wrong. The fallen ants are now completely taking the initiative on the battlefield. The opponent's water bugs carrying parasitic ants can choose any place to land, and the black fire ant army's countermeasure is to extend the defense line as much as possible. , but at the same time it is also becoming thinner and passively responding.
The scene that scared King "Black Coal" the most appeared. Seeing that the defenders were heavily guarded, the other party did not force a frontal crossing, and a large group of parasitic water bugs began to move downstream along the river.
The black fire ant army also moved, but it could maneuver on the ground and was not as fast as the parasitic army flowing down the river. After a while, the water bugs on the other side were no longer visible, and only the parasitic ants and land bugs on the other side were still fighting. They marched south together.
In the afternoon of that day, the parasitic army forced its way across the Black Creek in an area not defended by the black fire ant army. By the time the black fire ant army arrived, it was unable to stop it...

This information was passed to [Holy Tree City], causing shock among representatives of all races.
Even more shocking news was to come. During the heated discussion at the Civilized Ant Tribe Conference the next day, the latest information reached the venue:
King "Black Coal" and the parasitic army that crossed the Black Creek fought fiercely all night long from dusk yesterday to the end of the battle this afternoon. The black fire ant army suffered heavy losses, with not even a tenth left alive.
King "Black Coal" was killed on the spot, and his few unencircled remnants were unable to resist the parasitic army that surged through Black Creek like a tide, and were retreating to [Black Fire City].
What led to the defeat of the black fire ant army led by the "Black Coal" King was the parasitic waterworm. While the two armies were fighting fiercely, another parasitic army quietly crossed the river behind the black fire ant army.
The Black Fire Ant Army, which had no air supremacy, was defenseless. The originally safe formation was raided. The veterans around King "Black Coal" had suffered too much in the highland battle before and could not defend themselves this time, resulting in the death of the supreme commander. The black fire ant army lost its unified command and was helpless...
At this point, the door to the hinterland of the Black Fire Ant Country is wide open, and [Black Fire City] is about to face the enemy's front.
This news silenced the Civilized Ant Tribe Conference for a while, and then representatives of all races quickly abandoned their previous disputes and reached an agreement.
Not only do all ethnic groups promise to provide material support within their capabilities, but they are also willing to send expeditionary forces to fight. Even a bill that had been firmly opposed by the United Nations was passed unanimously.
Each tribe decided to ask for help from the civilized ant tribes in other regions!
