Summer thunderstorms come and go faster.

After about half an hour's work, the storm was like hell just now, and after a while, the clouds cleared and the rain dispersed, and the heavy clouds rumbled forward, but the sun had re-illuminated the earth.

The flood water that was still surging just now was quickly sucked dry or drained away by the ground in a blink of an eye, and the local weather was dry a while ago, and this heavy rain just quenched the thirst of the soil.

Except for the mud left in some low-lying places, and the scattered drowning corpses everywhere, the traces of heavy rain were erased by nature in an instant.

Leaf-cutting ants, hiding everywhere, crawl out of their hiding places such as tree holes and behind leaves, shake their bodies, shake off the water droplets on their bodies, stretch their limbs in the sun, and the summer heat quickly dries them out.

After a rain, the army of leafcutter ants lost thousands of soldiers, much more than the number of battle losses in the battle with the red fire ants just now.

But these losses were not much compared to the total strength of the nearly 400,000 Leafcutter Ant Army, and the commander of the Leafcutter Ant didn't care about the losses just now.

A team of leaf-cutter warriors climbed down the trees and regrouped, ready to continue the attack.

The Red Fire Ants and the slave auxiliaries did not lose much when they hid in their burrows, and as soon as the rain stopped, they re-arrived at the position to set up defenses, leaving no opportunity for the Leaf Cutter Army.

After adjustment, the two sides re-engaged, but neither side knew that the heavy rain just now had changed the course of the battle at different levels.

Both sides are still engaged in the battle, one to open the way to the enemy's main nest, and the other to defend the territory to the death.

A fierce battle rarely seen in the history of both sides, a decisive battle, entered its second phase after the rains.

————

The army of more than 100,000 leaf-cutting ants on the front line charged forward along the offensive line not long ago.

This time, their charge was even more difficult, and under the stone wall was the low-lying part of the land, and in the rain just now, the nearby flowing water had gathered and even formed a small waterfall at the stone wall.

At this time, although there is no standing water on the ground, the ground is still very muddy, and the leafcutter ants passing by here have to fight the mud in the mud before they can reach the stone wall with a dirty body.

From time to time, ants fall into the quagmire, and are trampled by unwitting comrades in the rear, if they do not break free in time, they will soon be blocked and die in the quagmire.

The terrain of the mid-lane battlefield made the Leaf Cutting Ant Army have to give up the main attack from here.

The command system of the Leaf Cutter Army is relatively unusual, and the commander of each unit on the front line has a lot of autonomy.

As a result, the troops in the middle of the road, under the leadership of the commander, moved to the two wings, although the leaf-cutting ant army on the two wings was very crowded and dense, but it also strengthened the assault force on this side.

Such a change was not expected by the Red Fire Ant Army, who were accustomed to the enemy's evenly distributed force in the perennial battle with the Leaf Cutting Ant Army, and the Red Fire Ant Army's two-wing roundabout tactics could just restrain this style of play.

The evolution of the tactics of the Ant World is very slow, and the accident caused by the heavy rain this time has caused the Leafcutter Ant Army to mistakenly execute tactics similar to those of the Red Fire Ant Army. But it also made the Red Fire Ant Army lose a big advantage.

Compared with the leaf-cutting ant army, which has more autonomy from the front-line troops, the red fire ant army pays attention to the command system from top to bottom and orders and prohibitions, and the subordinate troops will never dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool if they do not receive orders from their superiors.

The elders of the Red Fire Ant Army have not yet realized the possible consequences of the change in the enemy's movements, and they have not responded for a long time.

At this time, in the middle line of the Red Fire Ant Army, only sporadic leaf-cutting ant warriors climbed the stone wall and launched a painless attack. This is the attack of a few stubborn legions of leafcutter ants.

But on both flanks, the fighting between the two sides gradually heated up.

A red fire ant warrior, one accidentally, was bitten on the head by the large leafcutter ant opposite, and the big leafcutter ant pressed her head to the ground hard, and the carapace of the red fire ant's skull was visible to the naked eye.

The pain penetrated the cranial nerves of the red fire ant, and it struggled but could not get rid of it.

On the side, two small leaf-cutting ants wanted to take advantage of the chaos and cut off the head of the red fire ant. But a few other red fire ants came to the aid in time to force back the small leafcutters around them, isolating the large leafcutters.

This time it was the turn of the big leafcutter ant to be surrounded, and the other ants around her were retreating, she didn't have time, and immediately five or six red fire ants swarmed up, some bit their legs to control the movement of the big leafcutter ant, and some climbed directly onto her back, cutting and biting the slender waist.

The strength of a large leafcutter ant is better than that of a red fire ant, but several red fire ants are swarming up, and the large leafcutter ant cannot match it.

The red fire ant, which had just been restrained, finally got rid of it, and her head had a shocking pit, and the compound eye on the left side had cracked, oozing viscous liquid.

But she wasn't dead yet, she struggled to avoid the big jaw of the big leafcutter ant, climbed up her head from the side, and stabbed it into the enemy's compound eye with the big jaw, which was an eye for an eye revenge.

The Red Fire Ant Warrior, who had already been hit hard, was so vengeful that she stabbed the compound eye of the large leaf cutter ant hard, regardless of the violent rolling and struggling of the big leaf cutter ant, and even the whole head drilled into the compound eye of the big leaf cutter ant.

The large leafcutter ant rolled, and the other red fire ant on her body was thrown away, but the red fire ant warrior who bit her leg never let go.

The red fire ant that burrowed into her eye had broken two arthropods in the rolling of the leafcutter ant, and her abdomen was also injured by the friction, but she continued to bite deeper.

It wasn't until the brain tissue of the big leafcutter ant was shattered and killed by this red fire ant that this tragic gladiatorial fight ended. And the red fire ant that won the victory no longer had the strength to crawl out of the carcass of the large leafcutter ant.

Her body, which gradually cooled in the corpse of the enemy, also turned into a corpse, entangled with the enemy until death...

————

Fierce battles broke out everywhere on the front line, and ants were biting and killing as if they were dead.

A leaf-cutting female ant, commanding 3 legions under her command, ordered her subordinates to keep rushing forward, but she was constantly beaten back.

After a few rounds, one of the legions had been disabled, and the other two had suffered heavy losses.

The female ant commander was furious and ordered his subordinates to continue the attack, but the legions under her command sent messengers to say that they were unable to fight again.

The leafcutter ants are not like the red fire ants, which can fight to the death, and their commanders are more cowardly, which also shapes the relatively cowardly temperament of the army.

Countless legions of leafcutter ants rushed forward with dense footsteps, and then collided in front of the defensive line and broke their heads and bled back, this scene kept repeating itself.

It wasn't until the leaf-cutting ant army on the front line could no longer afford the casualties that they retreated.

And at this time, it is getting dark!
