Zhu Jue still didn't know the psychological activities of "parasite rolling" them, but the situation on the battlefield was very obvious.
After the parasitic brains fell into unprecedented intense emotions, the control they received weakened and they began to act more instinctively on the host.
It is different from the situation where the parasitic brain will force the parasites under its subordinates to gather around it and reduce its activities during evolution to protect itself and prevent the loss of its subordinates. At this time, the weakened control makes the parasitic ants and insect beasts still ferocious and energetic, but they no longer cooperate closely and even start killing each other, seriously weakening the overall combat effectiveness.
It didn't take much effort for the civilized ant coalition to destroy the bridgehead of the parasitic army, and then began to attack the parasitic water bugs that formed the floating bridge.
The large number of parasites on the pontoon no longer flowed across the bridge, but fell into chaos and internal strife. This lasted until late in the morning. The last section of the pontoon had been shattered by artillery fire and air strikes, and a large number of parasitic organisms were finally awakened. The brain regains control.
The parasitic brains seemed to have no intention of fighting anymore, and the parasite swarm began to retreat to the north bank. Today's battle ended in a hurry again. It was just around noon, and the battle only lasted three or four hours.

In the eastern fortress group, the commanders of all races expressed a very optimistic mood, believing that today's battlefield situation proved that these fallen ants were already in decline, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
King "Black Charcoal" was particularly excited. It seemed that the day when the black fire ant kingdom would regain its homeland was just around the corner. He happily walked around the small conference room and kept touching other ants with his tentacles.
Zhu Jue is also more optimistic, but he has different ideas from other ants. He knows more, so he has entered another misunderstanding.
Zhu Jue thought that "Gun" must have seen the information he sent, still remembered himself, and did not want to be his enemy, so he commanded the parasitic army to retreat.
No matter what "Gun" has become, even if he is parasitized, he is still "Gun"! Although he has not yet communicated with "Gun" face to face, Zhu Jue is still immersed in the friendly atmosphere he imagined!
Now that "Gun" has become the leader of the parasites, can the parasites coexist with the civilized ants? Zhu Jue plans to continue to keep in touch with "Gun" and work hard in this direction.
If possible, Zhu Jue hopes to join hands with "Gun" again. With the strong support of parasitic organisms, the future destroyer is not invincible or invincible!
As long as "Gun" is willing, Zhu Jue himself will resolve the different opinions within the civilized ant tribe. Even if "Go" is not willing to return to his command, the two sides can live in peace and jointly deal with the hostile force of the Destroyer.
Zhu Jue thought a lot unknowingly, and he also thought a lot last night. He wanted to see "Gun", communicate with "Gun" face to face, and ask him about his experience of becoming a parasitic ant. There is nothing uncomfortable. Does he still want to drink his favorite honeydew or honey water...

In the afternoon of that day, news came from the Flying Knight that the parasitic army not only did not attack again, but instead began to collectively break camp and head north, intending to evacuate the war zone.
At this time, the pontoon bridge composed of parasitic water bugs also disintegrated, and other pontoon bridge materials were also broken due to the withdrawal of the living parasitic ants that served as connectors, and were gradually washed away by the stream.
The parasitic army obviously did not intend to fight anymore, and the commanders of the civilized ant coalition were even more excited. If they had not been unable to wade, they would have been unable to hold back and counterattack the north bank!
Zhu Jue suppressed such opinions in the name of the supreme commander of the civilized ant alliance, saying that the counterattack must wait for the opportunity. The parasitic army still has strength, and it is first important to understand its intentions first.
His purpose was to delay until he and "Gun" established contact and reached a tacit understanding before deciding how to act. Although as long as the Ant Alliance does not repair the rope bridge, it will be difficult for armies of other races to cross the Black Creek. But he still needs a reasonable reason to appease the actions of these impatient and not very obedient allies, and to ensure his control over the armies of other ethnic groups.
Seeing that the parasitic army left very quickly, the huge camp was emptied of ants in a short period of time, and a large number of parasitic organisms disappeared into the dense grass and bushes.
Zhu Jue couldn't sit still.
The flying knights were currently unable to find "Gun" in the parasitic army's march. Zhu Jue ordered the flying knights to throw a big-headed ant worker ant messenger into the parasite group.
As a result, the other party directly tore the poor messenger into pieces without infecting and parasitizing her. For a while, Zhu Jue did not dare to act rashly.
He originally planned to meet "Gun", but the fate of the second messenger made him hesitate. If safety could not be guaranteed, even if "Gun" was the leader of the parasite, he could not take risks.
Who knows what's going on among the parasites? What if "Go" is unable to control all the parasites and those parasites want to harm themselves based on their instincts?
Even if "the gods come down to earth", there is no way to single-handedly fight thousands of ferocious parasites, and I am not a first-generation horse-cutting warrior with locked blood...
It’s better to be cautious!

Zhu Jue climbed to the highest ant mound in the eastern fortress group and watched the parasite army go away until the afternoon, when the last batch of parasites disappeared into the shadows of the vegetation.
The Battle of Black Creek, which lasted for several months and was divided into two stages by the flood season, came to an abrupt end on August 17.
During the battle, the civilized ant coalition achieved most of the campaign objectives, ensuring that the Black Creek defense line was not breached, and protecting the security of the territories of the Black Fire Ant Nation and the Ant Alliance Nation south of Black Creek.
However, the task that Zhu Jue promised before the war to eliminate the main force of the parasitic army on the Black River line and cross the Black River for the Northern Expedition has not yet been completed.
In the following days, the commanders of all ethnic groups continued to urge the supreme commander Zhu Jue to determine the time for the Northern Expedition. Zhu Jue has been preparing to prevaricate.
On the bank of Black Creek, dozens of worker ants from the Ant Alliance are slowly preparing materials for building a rope bridge. A large amount of plant fibers and ant silk need to be sorted. These ants alone can keep them busy for a long time, maybe more than a month. None of the preparations were completed.
But Zhu Jue refused to add more ant hands. Although the commanders of other tribes were confused, they did not expect that this was Zhu Jue's delaying strategy to delay the war. They just thought that the ant alliance might be in trouble.
Zhu Jue was still sending flying knights to continuously detect the movements of the parasitic army. In the next two or three days, the parasitic army gradually withdrew to [Black Fire City], gathered in the old main nest of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom, and then began to disperse.
The parasitic army turned into three groups and moved separately, but their behavior was very strange!
