Regarding the crow honey elements and [Little Magnet City] where the rebel flag has been established, Zhu Jue only regarded it as a scabies disease. The whereabouts of the ants have been exposed and their strength is meager. There is no need to mobilize an army. It is only a matter of time to eradicate them.
And the most serious problem is the destroyer on the northwest battlefield.
This spring, on the distant battlefield of the marching ant country, the winter war situation is being calculated bit by bit, and then reported to various places by flying messengers in the sky.
The war situation is very pessimistic. What makes all civilization ant clans fearful is that the powerful ant nation, which is as powerful as the marching ant nation, is unable to withstand the invasion of the Destroyer in winter. It loses troops and territory, and the losses are extremely heavy.
After the beginning of spring, the "Khans" of the marching ant kingdom sent a large number of messengers from the royal court to the 72 nests stationed by two million troops on the front line to check the situation, collect intelligence and feedback to the royal court in preparation for the royal court's follow-up Prepare for war.
At the beginning, the "Kings of Khan" were still optimistically thinking about how to gather forces to launch a counterattack after the beginning of spring and completely defeat the Destroyer. However, as a few days later, only a few couriers reported back intelligence, and most of the couriers never returned. It was obvious that the probability that the destination had fallen was very high.
Based on the initial assessment based on the feedback from the messenger, the Marching Ant Kingdom lost 59 fortresses and 15.6 million troops this winter. Most of the remaining fortresses were attacked and suffered losses.
The Destroyer is so terrifying!
The "Kings of Khan" on the marching ant kingdom were instantly shocked. At this time, the Destroyer's offensive still did not stop even in the cold early spring when the spring breeze melted into snow. Under the compound eyes of the "Kings of Khan", in just twelve short Within days, three more nests were captured successively, killing more than 100,000 army ant warriors.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of Destroyers were frequently appearing in the territory, divided into several groups to attack the city and plunder the land, and one group was even approaching the direction of the royal court.
The marching ant nation finally woke up to the horror of the Destroyer. They had no choice but to dispatch millions of strong men to join the army and rush to the battlefield to stabilize the defense line in the spring when they were supposed to be full of vitality. At the same time, the Marching Ant Nation was forced to ask for help from its allies for the first time!
The winter camp where the Divine Envoy King's Legion and the expeditionary coalition of ant tribes from various civilizations were located was located in the hinterland of the marching ant country. The terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was not easy to be discovered. However, they spent the spring safely. Zhu Jue ordered the army not to act rashly for the time being and wait until he returns to make further calculations.
Zhu Jue is ready to return to the battlefield and command the army, but before that, the first civilized ant conference of the year called by the Leaf-cutting Ant Nation and the Marching Ant Nation will be held in [Liu San City] in two days. To hold the meeting, Zhu Jue must attend the meeting before rushing to the battlefield.
Compared to the embarrassment of the civilized ant coalition on the battlefield of the Marching Ant Kingdom, the fact that the Leafcutter Ant Kingdom was beaten by the Pavement Ant Empire army in winter was not shocking news.
As expected, the Pavement Ant Imperial Army invaded the south on a large scale this winter. However, the war only lasted for less than half of the winter. After the Marching Ant Kingdom lost a large amount of the newly recovered lost territory, the Pavement Ant Imperial Army approached [Liu San City] , but never attacked the complex area where the ants were waiting, but suddenly withdrew their troops.
Although the army of the Paving Ant Empire was in turmoil, the Leafcutter Ant Nation did not dare to be careless and hurriedly organized a civilized ant tribe conference. It happened that the Marching Ant Nation also had this intention, and the two tribes hit it off immediately.
The topic of this Civilized Ant Tribe Conference is undoubtedly how to face the threat of invasion from the Destroyer and Pavement Ant Empires. Zhu Jue also wants to take advantage of this conference to expand the influence of the Civilized Ant Tribe Military Committee and bring all civilizations together. The command of the Ant Tribe's military force was placed under the Civilized Ant Tribe's Military Council and was indirectly placed under its own control.
Zhu Jue firmly believes that only by mastering the power of all civilized ant tribes, and not just relying on the ant alliance to fight alone, can he have the strength to resist the destroyer!

For creatures that have survived all winter, spring is always busy.
The dormant insects wake up and form the "Jingzhe" solar term in the human lunar calendar. There are no human beings in this world, there is no human calendar, and there is no term "wake of hibernation", but life will always wake up from hibernation at some point.
The earth that had been lifeless throughout the winter is now coming back to life. The insect eggs hidden under the soil and on the backs of the leaves are slowly hatching into tiny caterpillars. The insects that have overwintered as adults are... Busy eating to replenish the lost energy. Carnivorous bugs recover later. Caterpillars and worms cannot be seen until they have reached a certain scale.
Every land is full of vitality, and in some areas, the vitality is even more lively than in previous years!
This is the land that was occupied by the Destroyer, including the former Thin-legged Ant Kingdom, the Sharp-tailed Ant Kingdom, the Honeypot Ant Kingdom, and countless other ant civilizations.
It turns out that the ants are also hungry after the beginning of spring, and the granary that is about to bottom out urges the ants to search for all the food they can find. Whether it is adults, larvae or eggs, or plant buds or new caps, greedy ants will eat all the resources they can find, causing another setback to nature, which has already suffered heavy losses in winter.
Although even with ants exploiting, nature will fully recover in mid-spring. But perhaps nature has thought about whether the world would be more vibrant without ants, just like without humans!
And in the land occupied by the Destroyer, this conjecture has become a reality!
Without the hunting of small-footed ants, a large number of prey that would otherwise die can continue to survive and enjoy the beauty of life. Without the search of sharp-tailed ants, many plants that would have died can grow and thrive, embellishing the world with green. Even the world seems more conspicuous without honeypot ants destroying vast swaths of flowers in search of nectar.
Destroyers do not destroy the ecology like ants. As far as nature is concerned, they are "indifferent" and only ants are their only target.
Without ants, it seems that all living things have an easier time and the world is more prosperous.
But, is this really the case? ?
Look beyond the facade of prosperity and take a closer look. We can see: pine caterpillars covered with burrs are feasting in the forest. The number is extremely large, and the new leaves of countless trees have been poisoned. Without the restriction of forest ants, only Trichogramma, Braconid wasps and Braconid wasps have already It is difficult to control its spread.
Pests such as stem borers, pine stem scales, silverfish, bamboo locusts, beetles, boat moths, leaf beetles, and inchworms are also flourishing! In a world without birds and other animals, ants take their place as top predators.
Now, the apex predator is no more!
