The fleet drove out of the big turn, and the river surface was open again. However, the water waves were still shaking due to the aftermath of the rapids upstream. The giant bamboo boats and walnut boats in the fleet were also thrown up and down by the waves, shaking the ants inside and outside the boats. The world is spinning.
At this time, except for Zhu Jue and a few necessary sailors who were tied up with safety ropes on the deck of the giant bamboo ship, and the water spider knight who was clinging to his legs, all other sailors and soldiers remained in the ship. All entrances and exits on the ship are sealed to prevent flooding and sinking. The ants rely on the air in the cabin to survive. They will not open the cabin until the ship is completely stable.
The ship is still in shock, and it is not yet time to open the cabin. The ants do not consume much air, so it is not necessary to open the cabin. Therefore, the destroyers at the rear of the fleet have not yet killed a single ant on the ship, not to mention that they have not yet recovered from their devastation.
There are only a few hundred of these destroyers. After opening the cabin, some unprepared ants must be killed. Fortunately, the walnut ship at the rear of the fleet mainly carries cargo, and there are not many ants. Zhu Jue can accept a certain sacrifice. .
He was already summoning the flying knights, and after the ships opened their cabins, he would pass the order to the troops on board. At that time, the warriors would launch an attack from the ships. The flying knights and the water spider knights would cooperate to confine this small group of destroyers to the stern of the ship, and then completely kill them.
When receiving the order, a flying knight reported that a large number of Destroyers had gathered on the other side of the river not far ahead, numbering no less than 200,000, and there were still Destroyers on their way to join them. Zhu Jue didn't pay attention. At this time, the river was open and the fleet was three to five meters away from the other bank. It was impossible for these destroyers to fly over and swim over.
The top priority is to eliminate the Destroyers on the ship and then join the army!

The hundreds of Destroyers who held themselves tightly were no longer as arrogant as when they jumped off the ship. The violent agitation in the big bend caused these fierce and fearless destroyers to be severely tortured on the physiological level. The simple nerves of the Destroyer were ravaged by the force of nature. Although it was not as heartbreaking as the human who fell off the cliff, it was still dizzy. It is extremely difficult for these destroyers to keep their bodies from falling into the water.
Until now, after a period of respite, as the river level slowed down, some Destroyers were the first to return to normal. With simple nerves, they would not be afraid and began to instinctively pursue killing.
The Destroyers climbed the ropes in the middle of the walnut boat and the tall mast, and came to the surface of the walnut boat next to them. Three to five or five or seven of them occupied the surface of a walnut boat, searching for something.
The shell of a walnut ship is rough enough for the Destroyer to climb onto. Even though the river washed away, the Destroyer still smelled the ant pheromones. But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find even a single ant.
Among the several Destroyers patrolling back and forth in vain, there is a natural walnut navel hole on the top of the walnut boat. No matter how the Destroyer's tentacles test it, it seems that the bottom of the hole is solid. This was the only entrance, but the Destroyer didn't know it. He just kept groping for it over and over again, not caring about the futile effort.
Sometimes simplicity is effective. If other creatures with higher intelligence would give up and leave. But after a while, the entrance here opened on its own, and a dangling medium-sized leafcutter ant sailor climbed up. Before she could understand it, she was cut into two pieces by the Destroyer who reacted, and the body slipped into the water.
Then a Destroyer managed to squeeze into the narrow hole following its breath. There were sounds of panic and fighting in the walnut ship, but it calmed down after a while - the other two sailors in the walnut ship also died.
Such a scene happened on several walnut ships. The Destroyers, who had tasted the taste of killing, found out the trick and became even more crazy. They were trying to expand the range and attack more walnut ships. They killed each ship until there were no more survivors!
At this time, the coalition's counterattack finally arrived.
The flying knights took the lead in attacking, and then the water spider knights also came from the water. In order to avoid accidentally damaging the sails and ropes, the flying knights and water spider knights did not use fire bomb slings, but only used ordinary slings to attack from a distance.
The Destroyer's armor is thick and rough, and unless the stone hits the compound eyes, limbs, or tentacles, it is difficult to cause damage. It only restrains the Destroyer to avoid causing more casualties to the crew.
And the Destroyer can't reach the flying knights flying in the sky and the water spider knights floating in the water. A Destroyer threatened the Spider Rider with its jaws open in the water and leaned out too much. The shell of the walnut boat was already slippery and curved with water. The six limbs were not caught for a moment and did not fall into the water. Soon, it fell into the water. He was swept away by the current and gradually moved away from the fleet.
When the 3 water spider knights saw this, they immediately went up together to beat up the ants that had fallen into the water, and used their long lances to push the emerging destroyers into the water.
The Destroyer continued to struggle, even holding a lance in his jaws. But it was difficult to exert force in the water, and all its strength was useless. The lance was easily taken back by the Pavement Ant Water Spider Rider.
After a while, the destroyer stopped moving, and its drowned body floated on the water, drifting away from the fleet.

More troops were invested in the counterattack. Sailors, mainly medium-sized leaf cutter ants, launched the attack together with thousands of fully armed Archangel King infantry.
The Angel King infantry climbed the rope ladder between the walnut boats to enter the battlefield. The leaf-cutting ant sailors even used the special skills of arboreal ants on the single rope between the masts, as if they were flying over the eaves and walking over the wall. There were also a few belly-lifting ant sailors. Sweeping shots of formic acid provide remote support.
The battle on a ship is very different from that on land. The more troops invested, the better. A strong individual on land may be useless on a ship. The Destroyers are not good at fighting on a rocking ship. If they are not careful, they will fall into the water. They also cannot understand the roads formed by the crisscrossing ropes, which are gradually divided and eliminated.
When the body of the last Destroyer on the boat was thrown into the river, Zhu Jue, who was standing at the front of the fleet, also saw a large number of Destroyers appearing on the river bank.
It was hundreds of thousands of Destroyers gathered together, and the ground seemed to be covered with a black carpet. The number was obviously more than when the flying knight reported before, and it seemed that they had received a large amount of reinforcements.
These Destroyers had already learned that the fleet was approaching under the orders of the Radar Destroyers, and the originally quiet "black carpet" suddenly became turbulent, which was the visual effect caused by the swarming of countless Destroyer ants.
Zhu Jue didn't take it seriously, he just admired the other party's incompetent rage and was secretly proud in his heart.
But as the fleet approached the river bank where the Destroyers were, these Destroyers suddenly started to move—rolling towards the river!
