The floods have basically receded. Although the Qinghe River, which has a wide water area, has not yet fully recovered, the water level of Black Creek has basically returned to the level during the last war.
On both sides of the Black Creek, the two armies that had been facing each other for a long time were ready to fight again.
Even during the flood season, the two armies were not idle, and conflicts would break out in the air from time to time. Basically, they were caused by small groups of parasitic flying insects sneaking up on the flying knights.
Under the tight defense of the flying knights, most of the time such sneak attacks failed, and even the sneak attacks themselves were involved. But sometimes, it can also cause death or injury to flying knights.
This kind of exchange is not a disadvantage for the parasitic army. They often send out small and medium-sized flying insects suitable for sneak attacks. They are not suitable for group operations in large wars. Flying Knight is what you earn!
In order to cope with the increasingly frequent small-scale air battles on the front line, and to prepare for the upcoming war, Zhu Jue brought the reserve flying knights who had been trained in Pioneer City to the front line, and under the leadership of the veterans, they adapted to the battlefield.
Most of the flying knights who have been serving on the front line for several months will gradually withdraw to the country to rest and recuperate, and will be retrained and reorganized according to the latest formation.

On August 14, the parasitic army launched a tentative attack, kicking off the second phase of the Battle of Black Creek.
This battle first broke out from the air. The trigger was that a group of patrolling reconnaissance flying knights encountered a small number of parasitic flying insects. After several groups of combat flying knights heard the news and arrived, they repelled the parasitic flying insects and began to cover. The reconnaissance flying knight turned back.
At this moment, Zhu Jue, who was at the top of the Anthill Fortress, noticed a dark cloud floating in the sky!
That was not a dark cloud, but a murderous insect cloud composed of thousands of parasitic flying insects!
The battle order was issued immediately, and the flying knights in the rear were always ready to attack at any time. It's just that the attack takes time. Before the large force arrives in the battlefield airspace, the hundreds of flying knights who are performing tasks on the front line have not yet been warned. They will face the first wave of enemy attacks and use their own flesh and blood to form the first wave of attacks. A line of defense!
The attack of the parasitic flying insects has been brewing for more than 2 months, and it was extremely fierce as soon as it launched!
During this time, the parasitic organisms replenished previous battle losses by continuously infecting new organisms. Some small armies of parasitic organisms even traveled great distances into the depths of the jungle in search of objects to be purified.
The civilized ant coalition has no knowledge of all this, and the flying knights cannot penetrate infinitely deep into the north bank of the Black River. They always have to be wary of the sneak attacks from parasitic flying insects from time to time!
This is exactly the strategy of the parasitic brains. They use some parasitic flying insects with weak combat effectiveness to suppress the air supremacy of the flying knights through suicidal sneak attacks, and at the same time reduce the logistical pressure - the parasitic organisms also need to forage, and they also have Logistical issues.
The search team responsible for purifying the new soldiers continuously brought back new forces to replenish them. Although the number of parasitic flying insects did not increase very much, the quality has been greatly improved, and the Divine Envoy King The information the Legion received was very limited.
Today, a group of very powerful fighting flying insects have gathered under the command of Parasitic Brain!
Dozens of flying knights who were retreating had already seen the dark clouds and initially planned to fight them. But when they saw clearly the large parasitic flying insects at the front that had escaped from the insect cloud and were leading the way, several team leaders were shocked!
These were dozens of huge wasps. Their heads were bright yellow-red, emitting a terrifying luster in the sunlight. They had a pair of huge black compound eyes on their heads. It was obvious that these flying insects had well-developed vision. Behind the high-speed vibrating membrane wings, the abdomens of these wasps are circles of yellow and black, which is a very obvious warning!
Especially the huge and bright mandibles of these wasps and the gleaming poisonous needles are enough to make any of their opponents frightened!
Even though parasitic flying insects are famous for their numerous types, the Flying Knight has fought against dozens of species of flying insects. This is the first time for the veterans in the team to see such a huge and oppressive wasp!
These are not ordinary wasps, but the largest and most vicious golden-ringed wasps!
The body length of the golden-ringed wasp can reach 4-6 centimeters. It caught up with a medium-sized beetle. It has a ferocious temperament and even dares to attack large beetles such as the bifurcated rhinoceros beetle.
Moreover, the golden-ringed wasp is extremely poisonous. It has a poisonous needle up to 6 mm long, which has repeatedly caused casualties in the human world. It is estimated that the stings of just 20 golden-ringed wasps can cause death! Not to mention poisoning small insect creatures!
These golden-ringed wasps are the most ferocious bee killers. They like to hunt bees coming in and out of the honeycomb holes. More than 30 golden-ringed wasps can kill up to 30,000 bees in 2 hours. Each time they swarm out, they are enough to cause A tragedy of "annihilation"!
This time, there were as many as 50 parasitic golden-ringed wasps flying at the front, which was already an aerial force that should not be underestimated.
As for the flying knights, whether they were flies or bee mounts, they all saw the golden-ringed wasps coming from behind. The fear at the genetic level cannot be eliminated. The flying knights have already noticed that something is wrong with their mounts, and the mounts began to panic. Obey the control of the reins and just run for your life!
The flying knights could not control their mounts, so they had no way to fight back and could only escape. Before the battle, the flying knights were at a disadvantage!
But there is no way to escape. The parasitic golden-ringed wasp is extremely fast and quickly closes the distance!
Some Flying Knight veterans tried to regain control of their mounts. The pride of the elite warriors made them rather fight and die than keep running away like this. Moreover, they also know that if these golden-ringed wasps are not contained and blocked, and the opponent is blocked outside the Flying Knight base and waits for a fight, then there will be a terrible massacre for their comrades!
However, under the strong aura of the golden-ringed wasp, the bee mount of the combat flying knight simply refused to obey its orders. If they encounter an enemy outside their own hive, these bee mounts still have the courage to defend their homeland, but in the wild, the bee mounts only want to escape and have no confidence to fight!
In fact, once those lone bees in the wild encounter a wasp, they have no power to fight back. The right choice is to rely on the terrain to escape.
As a last resort, several team leaders looked at each other in tacit understanding, and each reluctantly controlled their mounts to turn around and fled in different directions, trying to disperse the Golden Ringed Wasp's forces and prevent the other party from grouping together!
This strategy was successful. The Golden Ring Wasp divided into four groups and pursued them separately. One group chased three reconnaissance flying knights and was flying towards the eastern fortress group!
