It was getting late at this time, and the bright moon replaced the setting sun at dusk. The image of the mountains and trees in the distance in the hazy night was dark ink splashed on the gray paper in the sky, showing unclear lines. Nearby, inside and outside the shrubbery, the bright moonlight shone on the land with sparse vegetation, solidifying the scene of the brutal battle on the ground.
As the Destroyer's previous raid was thwarted, the parasites that were scattered in all directions looking for food, under the command of their own parasitic brains, rushed back desperately, and finally surrounded the Destroyer who was dragged by the escort.
The rest of the battle was bloody but lackluster. The parasite army and the destroyer army each showed their capabilities. The two sides competed for consumption at an almost one-to-one exchange ratio. No matter what kind of insect the parasite was or what model the destroyer was, in In such a battlefield environment, there are just dwindling numbers.
When the number of one of the parties finally dropped to 0, an empty but meaningful number, the result of the battle was finally revealed. The entire Destroyer army was wiped out, and the parasitic army also suffered a lot of losses.
"Parasite Roll", accompanied by a few guards, returned to the battlefield full of disgust. There were too many Destroyer corpses here, and the environment here looked ugly and smelly in its eyes and tentacles.
Under the bushes, the moonlight filtering through the shadows of the trees showed clusters of round white fuzzy highlights. The corpses of various parasites and destroyers loomed or appeared in the moonlight and shade of the trees. These corpses were either large or small. Small, lying or falling, complete or torn apart, they looked motionless in the moonlight like mostly incomplete plaster statues, as if they were a stone forest frozen by Medusa.
Among them, the corpse of the radar destroyer, which was huge and had extremely long tentacles, was particularly obvious. It was lying on the edge of the bush, its tall body spread flat, and its head almost completely broken off from the neck.
Previously, when the Destroyer's defeat was certain, the remaining thousands of Destroyer corpses protected the Radar Destroyer in an attempt to break out, but was blocked by the parasitic creatures that came to stop it. In the end, it died when a parasitic wasp fell from the sky and lay on its back. The bite that penetrated the neck.
After looking at the Radar Destroyer's body for a while, "Parasite Roll" hurriedly left in disgust. Originally he had the idea of splitting the body, but now he just wants to leave quickly.
"Parasite Roll" learned a lesson this time and was no longer careless. He moved the already-fed troops overnight without caring about cleaning the battlefield. They cannot stay here. If there are radar destroyers and their troops nearby, they must have discovered the whereabouts of the parasitic army. If the army of destruction keeps coming, this parasitic army with other tasks will not be able to escape once it is surrounded!
Under the moonlight, the parasitic army arranged in long columns continued to move northward from the ground and in the air, like long wriggling black lines. It wasn't until they reached a river in the middle of the night that they couldn't swim, that the parasitic army stopped to take a rest and wait for dawn before making plans!

The next day, the Flying Knight on routine patrol was alerted by the Destroyer's unusual movements.
On the ground, a group of Destroyers on the west bank of the War River (a tributary of the Qing River, so named because the fleet of the King of God's Legion fought the Destroyers here) who were originally waiting to cross the river to rush to the assembly area, are splitting off into multiple units and heading west quickly. Even though I was maneuvering, I didn’t even bother to step onto the pontoon bridge and continue crossing the river.
Such a scene occurred at more than one ferry. The Destroyers at multiple pontoons divided their forces to move westward. Many of the Destroyer reinforcements from the north who were moving south were also thinking of moving west. The total number of these westward-moving Destroyers was more than 20. Ten thousand. If you draw a line in the direction of all the Destroyer teams moving west, you will find that they have a common focus.
Upon seeing this, a heroic ant flying knight commander decisively led the team to change the patrol area and rushed to the focal point - which was originally the blind spot of the patrol area - without waiting for orders.
There, he saw corpses on the ground, the corpses of destroyers and parasites all over the ground - this was the battlefield last night.
As a result, the civilized ants on the "Great Wall" defense line soon learned that after the Destroyers, parasitic organisms also appeared in this area.
Parasites and destroyers are undoubtedly hostile forces of the civilized ant tribe. The former is the source and remnant of the first crisis of world destruction in legend, while the latter is the culprit of the second crisis of world destruction, which is now the crisis. Now that the initiators of two major world-ending crises are gathered here, the leaders of the ant tribes of various civilizations, who were already panicking because of the unfavorable war, are even more confused.
But fortunately, looking at the battlefield situation, the parasites and the destroyers are also hostile. At least there will be no situation where the two will jointly attack the civilized ant coalition. If the two main culprits of the world-ending crisis can consume each other, it seems to be a good thing for the civilized ant tribe that has been defeated again and again.
Therefore, at the request of the leaders of the army ants, bullet ants, black fire ants, thief ants, and the rocky desert ant empire, Zhu Jue sent a large number of reconnaissance flying knights to search for traces of the parasitic organisms and evaluate the potential of this war zone after they joined the war zone. The confrontation between the three parties shows the variables in the state of tripartite confrontation.
However, neither the Flying Knight nor the Destroyer could find this group of parasitic organisms. On the east bank of another tributary of the Qing River, there were traces of the parasitic organisms using floating materials to build a pontoon to cross the river and then the pontoon bridge was washed away. It can be judged that the parasitic army has crossed the river.
On the other side of the river, the terrain is gradually getting higher, densely forested, and the terrain is complex, completely covering up the traces of the parasitic army. The Flying Knight hovered for weeks and ventured lower into the tree canopy to explore. It's just that there aren't many traces in the woods that can point out the whereabouts of the parasites, and it's almost impossible to blindly find targets in the vast mountains and forests. So the flying knight could only go back and recover.
The leaders of the civilized ant tribes are temporarily relieved and no longer evaluate the pros and cons of the emergence of parasitic organisms, because the imminent threat of the Destroyer has begun to transform into a realistic offensive.
The Destroyers also scurried about like headless flies on the east bank of the tributary for a long time, lost the target of pursuit, and returned eastward one after another after lingering for two days. At this time, on the east bank of the Zhan River, the assembled Destroyers have launched an offensive against the "Great Wall Defense Line"!

The flying knight in the sky kept swooping down, throwing all the ammunition on hand towards the ground.
Countless fire points fell like meteors and fire showers, thousands of fire bombs and slings. But on a front line that is tens of meters long, this firepower is just a drop in the bucket.
More shells with trajectories barely visible to the naked eye and visible contrails were streaking across the sky, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds.
On the ground, the black mass covered the ground dozens of meters long and about 1 meter wide. Covering all the features on the surface, there were as many as a million Destroyers!
