The parasitic army that has been dormant for a long time, like a dry plant that has been reborn, quickly spreads its tentacle-like "branches and leaves". These "branches and leaves" are composed of countless parasitic organisms, spreading and expanding in all directions.
The parasitic army launched a new offensive. The main force moved eastward and began to continue attacking [Black Fire City], only to find that the ants here had emptied their nests and only captured a few black fire ant country ants that were carrying food.
These were the second batch of ants responsible for the relocation of the main nest. Most of them got the warning from the flying knight and evacuated. However, as the parasitic flying insects returned to rule the sky, the few ants that did not receive the warning from the flying knight had no time to escape and were captured and purified.
After occupying [Black Fire City], which was basically an empty city, the "Parasite Roll" did not seize the large amount of food and materials needed. The parasitic army was already very short of supplies, and even started cannibalism while waiting for evolution.
The rations that could not be transported away from [Black Fire City] were not enough to meet the needs of the parasitic army for a week. The parasitic army had to temporarily stop and send out a large number of troops to disperse and look for food.
The coalition of civilized ant tribes has already stood ready on the Black Creek defense line. The coalition forces dominated by the Angel King's Army are currently well supplied. The black fire ant army in the coalition has recovered from the shadow of repeated defeats, and the leaf-cutting ant army has also Gradually passing the rope bridge over the Qing River, reinforcements arrived in large numbers from overland.
Just wait for the parasitic army to move south, they will come sooner or later!

The parasitic army's tentative attack on the Black Creek defense line was launched from the air.
While the ground troops were busy collecting rations, the parasitic flying insects also scattered out under the control of the brains. They did not need to forage and were specifically responsible for reconnaissance.
Soon, parasitic flying insects were attacked by flying knights near Black Creek.
When tens of thousands of parasitic flying insects overwhelmingly occupied the north of Black Creek, the flying knights who originally launched daily air attacks on the parasitic army had retreated to the vicinity of Black Creek and no longer easily went north.
But south of Black Creek is the home ground where the Flying Knights will never give up their air superiority. Black Creek is like a dividing line, and any parasitic flying insect that dares to cross the border will be attacked head-on.
The flying knights currently stationed at three bases along the defense line include 60 combat flying knight teams, 12 reconnaissance flying knight teams and 12 giant dragonfly teams, totaling 3,000 bee flying knights, 600 fly flying knights and 60 giant dragonflies.
The most elite and well-trained air force in the King of God's Army is concentrated here.
The parasite quickly realized the anomaly near Black Creek and began to test it frequently. In the beginning, the parasitic flying insects only invaded on a small scale. As the flying knights' resistance gradually became fiercer and their true strength was exposed, the frequency and scale of the parasitic flying insect attacks also increased day by day.

May 21st was a cloudy day.
The layers of clouds in the sky almost completely blocked the sun, leaving only a small blurry and dazzling light spot hiding behind the clouds.
Clouds are gathering, the air pressure is changing quietly, and the ants know it's going to rain. Along the Black Creek, the civilized ant coalition forces prepared to take shelter from the rain in their defense bases.
Most of the patrolling flying knights also returned to the base, with only a few remaining on alert in the air.
In such weather, you may need to take shelter from the rain at any time. Logically speaking, parasitic flying insects should not come, otherwise there will be serious non-combat attrition in heavy rain.
But they still came, which surprised the flying knights. The ants still couldn't figure out the way of thinking of the parasites. The ants had the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but they also dared to take the risk of unnecessary losses.
There were only two reconnaissance teams and a few dozen flying knights left in the air. A few flying knights quickly flew back to the base to warn, and the others flew to the enemy dozens of times their size according to the plan, trying to contain the enemy and give our army Fight back to buy time.
The parasitic flying insects did not come in a large group at the same time, but divided into individual swarms. When you get closer, they block out the sky and the sun, as if locusts are passing through.
The fast-flying parasitic dragonfly is larger and stands out at the front of the parasitic flying insect group.
Then came the parasitic horseflies and skin flies. These flying insects use stinging tubes as their main means of attack. They are relatively weak, but their flight is flexible and difficult to deal with.
Finally, there is the large group composed of parasitic wasps, which are the largest in number and pose a greater threat.
The bee flying knights of the reconnaissance team dispersed into small formations of 8-12, arranged in a long flying geese formation, and killed the parasitic dragonflies that were approaching quickly.
They quickly climbed up, hoping to occupy a higher place and gain a height advantage - grabbing height and gaining the upper hand. These were common tactics used by flying knights.
The parasitic dragonflies do not deliberately pursue height advantages, but simply move with the movements of the fly knights, so their flight trajectory is an upward sloping arc.
The speed of parasitic dragonflies is too fast. Such a large insect has an extremely fast wing-beating speed that is not commensurate with its size. The sound of countless parasitic dragonflies can be clearly heard by enemies far away.
The fly knights occupy a higher airspace, but the speed of the parasitic dragonflies has also reached its maximum, not far below. In terms of air combat energy, both sides are evenly matched. The number of parasitic dragonflies is even greater, more than 300, far exceeding the flying knights currently in the sky.
The two sides approached quickly, and the fly knights finally gained a height advantage. They only had time to hurriedly throw a wave of fire bombs and slings, and they had to dive to avoid them.
Fire bombs floated in the air like a meteor shower and slowly fell, intertwining a web of death. Parasitic dragonflies that crash into the net can easily burn through their thin and light membrane wings, or have their bodies scalded, and then fall painfully.
But this net was too sparse, and most of the parasitic dragonflies rushed over quickly without slowing down or hesitating.
As scouts, the Fly Knights did not carry as complete armaments as the Combat Fly Knights, and they did not dare to fight the parasitic dragonflies with their ferocious jaws, so they dispersed into groups of 2-3 riders and quickly dived in an attempt to get rid of them.
The parasitic dragonfly follows closely behind. In nature, dragonflies are good at chasing flies by relying on speed. This hunting instinct does not disappear even after being parasitized.
The fly knights could only rely on ducking left and right to avoid the dragonfly jaws that attacked again and again. There were still flying knights and ants and flies being caught by the parasitic dragonflies and withering in the jaws.
The aerial pursuit quickly shifted from mid-air to the ground. The target of the fly knights was a base with an air defense net on the ground.
Seeing hundreds of parasitic dragonflies pressing down like dark clouds, fire suddenly flashed on the ground, and explosions more violent than the sound of flapping wings came one after another.
The Fly Knight has already completed the emergency turn in advance, and the anti-aircraft guns on the ground are firing on all cylinders, and dense shotguns are harvesting wantonly among the parasitic dragonflies!
