With the experience of the last "Inheritance of the Ancient Gods" civilization ant clan conference, the protagonist is not in a hurry to go to the [Holy Tree City] of the Leaf Cutting Ant Country this time.

Generally, the ant tribe that is far away should start early to avoid delays on the road and miss the meeting. The Ant Alliance is very close to the Leaf Cutting Ant Country, so there is no such concern.

The protagonist has been busy lately, so instead of arriving early and staying in [Sacred Tree City] for a day like last time and waiting for other representatives to arrive, it is better to continue working in [Shinyang City].

The protagonist departs early in the morning on the day of the meeting, and he arrives with a squad of Flying Knights.

Walking into the venue, it is still a lazy state where everyone is lying on the ant silk mats, and the protagonist will not arrange these mats in the conference room in his country, although it is comfortable, but it is very undignified.

Most of the representatives of the ant clan have already entered the venue, and some female ants of the host leaf-cutting ant country are in charge.

Only the representatives of the Leafcutter Ant Country and the Black Fire Ant Clan who presided over the meeting have not yet entered the venue, and according to the explanation, the representatives of the Black Fire Ant Clan have arrived yesterday and are discussing things with the Leafcutter Ant Queen.

The protagonist rests on the ant silk mat for a while, and the belated leaf-cutting ant queen and black fire ant representatives finally enter the venue.

The protagonist looks up and lowers his head.

Suddenly, he realized something, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the few ants that had just entered the door, their tentacles raised high, and their big jaws clenched.

The ant who came in followed behind the representative of the black fire ant, and he seemed to have known that the protagonist would appear here, so he looked around the venue, locked the protagonist, and looked at the protagonist without showing weakness.

The eyes of both sides collided, and the sparks were shining, and both were filled with anger and hatred!

Almost at the same time, far north.

This is the territory of the Paving Ant Empire, and in a nest near the southern border, the ant team is converging into this nest.

The south of the nest is bordered by a barren gravel field, and through this gravel field, which takes about a day's hike to cross, is the territory of the former Red Fire Ant Country, which is now the border of the Leafcutter Ant Country.

After the defeat of the remnants of the Red Fire Ant Nation last year, it was through this sandy land that they arrived at the Paving Ant Empire to seek refuge, and then they were placed in this nest to rest.

Although the Red Fire Ant Empire, as a vassal state of the Paving Ant Empire, often has some rebellious moves, the Paving Ant Empire, which has a high self-esteem, regards it as stubborn at most and doesn't particularly care about it.

After all, in front of the huge size of the Paving Ant Empire and the strength that far surpassed the surrounding forces, the Red Fire Ant Nation did not dare to really make too many mistakes.

In the face of the Red Fire Ant Country's request for help, the Paving Ant Empire, which attaches great importance to the face of the kingdom, decided to raise troops to restore the country for this vassal country after the six kings discussed together.

Although their distant northern kindreds are also seeking help, the Paving Ant Empire does not hesitate to fight on two fronts.

After all, the northern battlefield is too far away, and the support that the Paving Ant Empire can provide is limited, while the southern battlefield is relatively close!

Survival and extinction, a move that makes other vassal states more grateful to Dade, has always been willing to do it in the Paving Ant Empire. As for who the opponent is and what the strength is, the Paving Ant Empire doesn't care, there is no force that is the opponent of the Paving Ant Empire, this is something that has been proven by their thousands of years of history.

If it weren't for the fact that the forces of the east, west, north and south had become vassals, the Paving Ant Empire would definitely be even bigger than it is now. But now that the other ant clans have surrendered, the paving ant empire, which values face, is not good to lower its jaw anymore.

But their ambition to expand has not been extinguished, this time to help the Red Fire Ant Empire recover, the Paving Ant Empire will be able to justifiably continue to use troops in those places in the south that have not surrendered, and further expand the territory of the empire, which is a great feat that every Six Kings dream of.

In recent years, the Paving Ant Empire has rarely had large-scale military operations, and those wars to suppress rebellions and rescue vassal states have not been put on the table at all, which has long made this six kings very dissatisfied.

The Red Fire Ant Country was originally the most powerful vassal state under the command of the Paving Ant Empire, and the two forces that destroyed its country are said to have mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, so the scale of the war can make the six kings focus.

For the sake of prudence, this time, the Paving Ant Empire had 720,000 imperial troops in the first batch of troops.

Among the vassal forces of the empire, in addition to the 80,000 Red Fire Ant Army who will definitely participate in the war and restore the country, the other 36 ant tribes will also participate in the war, and these vassal soldiers and mercenaries from the empire's trade, the first batch of 220,000 to participate in the war.

In this way, the coalition army of the Paving Ant Empire has a one-time dispatch of as many as 1.02 million troops, a veritable army of one million, which is by no means comparable to those armies that dare to claim to be millions if they have more than 100,000!

If it weren't for the fear that the logistics supply would not be able to keep up, the Paving Ant Empire would still be able to mobilize several times as many troops to participate in the war.

Among the troops that the Paving Ant Empire plans to participate in the war, there is a clear division of the soldiers and auxiliaries, which is the embodiment of the professionalism of their army, and it is precisely by relying on this professional army that the Paving Ant Empire has laid a huge territory in history.

Among the 720,000 troops, there are 480,000 auxiliary soldiers and 240,000 soldiers, and the 2:1 configuration is enough to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

It seems that such a configuration of the Paving Ant Imperial Army has caused the strength of the army to shrink to one-third of the book, and it seems that the strength is greatly limited, but in fact, this is not the case.

Looking at the previous war between the Leafcutter Ant Country and the Red Fire Ant Country, it can be found that the Leafcutter Ant Country seems to be able to mobilize 700,000 troops at one time, and the Red Fire Ant Country has also mobilized 500,000 troops.

The ant soldiers are not only responsible for miscellaneous tasks such as grain transportation and engineering construction, but also participate in battles, but in fact, it is difficult to take into account combat effectiveness and logistics support.

In the "Battle of the Ages", the leaf-cutting ant army was surrounded and finally annihilated, why wasn't it because it could not effectively guarantee the transportation of the front line, resulting in the lone army being surrounded?

There are a large number of slave auxiliaries in the Red Fire Ant Army, except for a small number of Red Forest Ant slaves, other ants are more suitable to be auxiliaries, but they are forced to participate in the battle, often becoming a weak point in the military formation.

The practice of dividing the soldiers and auxiliaries of the Paving Ant Imperial Army is much more scientific and reasonable.

Moreover, these 720,000 troops are only the first batch of assault troops to break through the enemy's border defenses, once a suitable base is obtained across the barren gravel land, with the overall strength of the Ant Empire Army, they can quickly transport enough supplies for millions of ants to use for three months to the war zone.

After having logistical support, the Paving Ant Imperial Army will continue to mobilize the second and third groups of troops to participate in the battle.

Naturally, the Red Fire Ant Army will not miss the battle for the restoration of the country, and has been given the territory and materials donated by the Paving Ant Empire, and after last year's recuperation, the Red Fire Ant Nation has recovered part of its vitality.

In this battle for the restoration of the country, the Red Fire Ant Army will dispatch 80,000 soldiers, including 20,000 native warriors, 40,000 burrowing ant slaves, 30,000 belly-raising ant slaves, and 10,000 Japanese black brown ant slaves.
