Upon learning that the Red Fire Ant army had launched an attack, the protagonist immediately halted preparations for supplies for the Bellied Ants.

In terms of distance and time, it is too late to support the bellied ants when they are transported over, but they may be directly captured by the red fire ants, which will not only be the enemy, but also the valuable ant hands of the transport.

Every ounce of material and every ant of the Divine Envoy King's Legion is now precious!

At present, there are 10 flying knights trained last year in [Xinyang City], and the flying knight unit is rebuilt. The protagonist immediately sends the Flying Knight to scout in the territory of the Lift-bellied Ant Clan, and he needs to keep abreast of the battle there.

At the same time, the general mobilization of war began in the territory of the Divine Envoy King's legion, which was the first major war threat faced by the Divine Envoy King's legion after coming to this Qing River.

The protagonist doesn't think that the bellied ants can block the inevitable attack of the red fire ants, and the red fire ants will directly attack the territory of the Divine Envoy King Legion in the future, and after losing the buffer of the bellied ants, the two sides will face each other.

With the aggressiveness of the Red Fire Ant Clan, it is unrealistic to expect peaceful coexistence! The Divine Envoy King Legion is about to face a frontal attack from a major hegemonic force in the region!

- I'm the dividing line -

The army of red fire ants soon reached the edge of the woods.

As soon as they entered the woods, they entered the territory of the bellied ant clan, and the red fire ants did not rush into it for the time being, but stayed outside the woods for a while, waiting for the troops behind to catch up.

In some trees at the edge of the woods, a small number of sentinels with bellied ants were already on standby.

These sentinels were few in number, only about a hundred, divided into several squads, each led by male ants, and monitored the movements of the enemy.

The red fire ants were grouped outside of range, and the males on both sides were able to see each other, but neither side took any further action for the time being.

The bellied ant warriors did not dare to leave the shelter of the woods, but watched vigilantly as the red fire ant army was gathering, and then kept sending messengers back to the nest to report.

When the red fire ants were assembled, they immediately formed a wide column and approached the woods.

The bellied ant sentinels in charge of the vigilance also immediately countered with a condescending spray of formic acid from the trees. The height of these bellied ants is such that their acid is enough to cover an area of nearly a meter. It's just that the accuracy is not so good.

But the red fire ants are very densely formed, and there are always unlucky eggs that are hit by acid, and if they are hit by the carapace, then it is better, and they can be wiped off with mud by rolling around. But if it is shot in the compound eye, antennae and other positions, the fierce red fire ant will also roll in pain!

The domineering and arrogant red fire ants obviously can't accept such a passive beating, even if their losses are small.

So, while the large army continued to advance, several small groups of red fire ants broke up and climbed the trees around them to drive out the bellied ant warriors who were more than half a meter high.

The bellied ants are very flexible in the trees, they do not dare to put the red fire ants head-on, once the red fire ants approach, these belly ants immediately evacuate, relying on the familiarity of the terrain on the tree to move calmly.

Red Fire Ant Warriors are as difficult as a monkey in a tree, and they have to fight back with two acid blows from time to time.

However, while the Red Fire Ant Warrior and the Bellied Ant Sentinel were playing hide and seek, the main force of the Red Fire Ant had quickly approached the depths of the woods without interference, pointing in the direction of the nest of the Bellied Ant.

After receiving the sentinel's warning, the "old heart" had already brought more than 1,000 soldiers to deploy from the criss-crossing branches.

In this grove, there are always some fiber rope bridges between the adjacent branches, connecting the many trees.

These rope bridges are not naturally formed, but rather roads that have been built and carefully maintained by the ants year after year, like overpasses crisscrossing the air in all directions.

Similar to the earliest rope bridges, it may have been some natural fibers that were wrapped around the branches of trees by the wind, and later there were ants to build bridges, which is a common skill of many arboreal ants.

With the help of a well-developed network of road roads above the trees, the troops of the bellied ants arrived at the predetermined location in time, ready to lure the enemy away with the same tricks as they did yesterday, and disrupt the enemy's offensive with the help of the complex wooded terrain.

The bellied ants also know that they can't be defeated, so they can only try to hold back the army of the suzerain, and strive for a good opportunity and conditions for surrender.

The scene of hundreds of bellied ants spraying formic acid together is spectacular, and even the red fire ants dare not charge hard.

But this group of red fire ants is very cunning, they left a similar number of warriors to confront the "old heart", and the rest of the troops took a detour and continued to advance towards the nest of bellied ants, and they were not pinned down at all.

These red fire ants are also very familiar with the topography of the forest floor, and they have been here before when they conquered the bellied ants, and they have recorded the terrain information so that they can respond immediately.

At this time, the "old heart" was in a hurry, and he immediately led the team to transfer, preparing to rush to the front of the red fire ant army and continue to block it.

Seeing this, nearly 1,000 red fire ants confronted the "old heart" and immediately went up the trees to pursue, but they were really not good at moving in the trees, and they had no pheromone guidance, so they soon lost their targets in the complex air road network and had to go back to the ground and chase the large army.

"Lao Xin" rushed to the front of the red fire ant army to set up defenses, but the red fire ants didn't care, and only the nest of the bellied ants was in their eyes.

As the warriors under the command of "Old Heart" ran out of formic acid, and the Einsatzgruppen of the Red Fire Ants finally approached them, the bellied ants broke up after a little resistance in hand-to-hand combat.

The "old heart" had to work hard to gather the remnants of the army and rush back to the tree nest in advance to set up defenses. Fortunately, the belly ants did not suffer much loss, and they all slipped away with the help of the terrain, and those who were not collected by the "old heart" also returned to the nest on their own.

The Einsatzgruppen of the red fire ants are still chasing the rout of the bellied ants, approaching the nest from the trees.

"Old Heart" had to destroy the rope bridges along the way to slow down the pursuit of the enemy army as much as possible.

This trick worked so well that the red fire ants eventually gave up chasing from the trees, and they also fought many arboreal ants and suffered from the unfavorable terrain in the trees.

The red fire ants converged on the ground and continued to make a determined advance towards the nest of bellied ants.

Another king of belly-bellied ants also led a team to harass red fire ants, but also with little success.

In this way, the army of red fire ants came to the bottom of the tree where the nest of the bellied ants was located.

The bellied ants had gathered their full strength and set up a defensive line in the trees. This time, there is no room for guerrilla attacks, and the next thing can only be a desperate battle!

- I'm the dividing line -

The Flying Knights are closely monitoring the battle, and the first Flying Knights have reported the situation of this time to the protagonist.

Now, the two sides are about to face off, and the rest of the flying knights are hiding in the nearby trees to watch the battle.
