Originally, the relationship between the Red Fire Ant Nation and the vassal country would not have been so quick to detect that the Forest Ant Clan had been conquered by the Divine Envoy King Legion.

In the past, the forest ant clan only needed to contribute a batch of grain to the suzerainty country every quarter, or exchange some necessary materials with the red fire ant country when needed. The frequency of such contact may only be communicated once in a month or two, or even three months.

In other words, if it had been in the past, the Red Fire Ant Nation might not have noticed the abnormality of the Forest Ant Country until a few months later, and by that time, the Divine Envoy King Legion had already gained a firm foothold in the new territory.

But now, the Red Fire Ant Country is in the stage of a full-scale war with the Leafcutter Ant Country, and the scale of such a war is rare in recent years, and it requires both sides to devote all their strength.

This is a sign that the Legion of the Divine Envoy King has begun to flap the wings of the butterflies after they arrive here, and it has begun to cause the Storm Omen.

In addition to its own warriors, the Red Fire Ant Country also needs a large number of auxiliaries, especially the forest ant auxiliaries are the most valued. After all, among the four vassal ant clans, the forest ant is the only one that can fight better, and it is also the most trusted by the red fire ants.

This trust is reflected in many ways, such as the fact that the Red Fire Ant Kingdom has so far not turned any of the forest ant queens into slaves under their control, and all forest ant warriors are vassals of the Red Fire Ants, not slaves. This is the most intuitive withdrawal that the Red Fire Ant Nation values.

But in this way, when the Red Fire Ant Country needs the assistance of forest ants, it can only constantly send messengers to the forest ant nest to recruit troops, and cannot make up for the war damage by increasing the number of eggs laid by the slave ant queen in its own territory.

Just two days before the Divine Envoy King's Legion conquered the Forest Ant Clan, the messengers sent by the Red Fire Ants requisitioned the latest batch of thousands of Timber Ant Warriors who had just broken through the pupa to adulthood, and only a small number of old or disabled warriors remained in the Forest Ant Nest, so that the Divine Envoy King's Legion won the victory almost effortlessly.

And on May 22nd, the third day of the Divine Envoy King's Legion to conquer the Forest Ant Clan, the Red Fire Ant Kingdom sent an envoy and discovered something unusual.

At this time, this nest has been named [Donglin City] by the Divine Envoy King Legion, and the main force of the Divine Envoy King Legion has been withdrawn, leaving only a small team of garrisons in the local area, and the worker ant colonization team has not yet arrived here.

The Flying Knights recently had a patrol mission in [Donglin City], and they first spotted the team of the Red Fire Ant Emissary, and then were ordered to lead the garrison to try to eliminate this group of Red Fire Ants and avoid leaking military information.

There were only 12 red fire ants, but the combat power was strong, and in the end, the 50 Divine Envoy King warriors of the team, in the case of absolute numerical superiority and ambush, also paid the price of 6 dead and 2 wounded, killed 10 red fire ants, but 2 red fire ants escaped.

The two red fire ants seemed to be aware of the threat from the air, and even knew to hide from the flying knights in the bushes to avoid being tracked by the flying knights, and hid all the way back to the territory.

This is something that the protagonist does not expect.

- I'm the dividing line -

After the Red Fire Ant Nation learned the information, the protagonist didn't pay much attention to it at first.

On the first day, the Red Fire Ant Country did not react, and the protagonist felt that the Red Fire Ant Country was estimated to swallow his anger for the time being.

After all, more than ninety percent of the Red Fire Ant Country's troops are currently gathered on the border to fight against the Leaf Cutting Ant Country.

At present, the total strength of the Red Fire Ant Country on the border has reached 500,000, and the Leaf Cutter Ant Country has 800,000 people.

Of course, not all of them can be put into battle, and a large size of the army requires a lot of ants engaged in foraging, grain transportation, camp maintenance, etc., and only one-third to one-half can actually be put into battle. But that's also a huge scale.

In the Red Fire Ant Territory, the secondary nest away from the battlefield basically retains only the most basic Red Fire Ant warriors, which are used to maintain the security of the territory, as well as some slaves who are responsible for producing food.

The protagonist doesn't think that the Red Fire Ant Kingdom can still put together a force strong enough to threaten the Divine Envoy King's army to fight back.

But he clearly doesn't understand the collective character of the Red Fire Ant Nation.

On May 24th, the Flying Knight reported that an enemy force of about 3,000 had set out from the border of the Red Fire Ant Nation and was on its way to [Donglin City].

The Red Fire Ant Nation cobbled together a small army from a few nests on the eastern border, although they knew that the siege of [Xinyang City] before was not favorable, but they thought that it was the reason for the unfavorable terrain and strong defense of [Xinyang City].

This time it would be a field battle, and the Red Fire Ant Elders thought that this small force might be enough to stand up to the forces of the alien ants to the south.

Of course, the more reason is that the Red Fire Ant Nation cannot bear the breath of the vassal state being exterminated, and the rebellious Red Fire Ant never accepts military defeat.

Moreover, the subjugation of the forest ant clan is really a big blow to the Red Fire Ant Country, and they will forever lose such an excellent auxiliary soldier as the forest ant. Only by retaking the territory of the forest ant clan as soon as possible, and then seeing if you can retrieve some forest ant eggs, especially queen ant eggs, can you keep this vassal state.

Ant eggs are very good trophies, and they are generally kept to eat slowly, or to raise slaves. Therefore, the red fire ants felt that as long as the counterattack was fast and smooth enough, they could regain control of the descendants of the forest ant clan. But they didn't know that all the forest ant eggs had already been transferred to [New Yang City] by the Divine Envoy King Legion.

Among the attacking Red Fire Ant Army, there are only 1,000 Red Fire Ant warriors, and the rest are basically burrowing ants, with only a few black brown ants and belly raising ants.

Burrowing ants have the largest number of vassal and slave ants in the capital of the Red Fire Ant Country, and they have a strong ability to produce food, so they left a large number of burrowing ants in the rear, and this time they were also recruited to deal with the Divine Envoy King Legion.

The protagonist formed a battle force in [Xinyang City], consisting of the 3rd Legion, the 8th Legion, the 9th Legion, and the 10th Legion, the latter three are all new legions.

Because the enemy army is closer to [Donglin City], the reinforcements can't rush over to defend the city, so the protagonist instructs the few garrisons in the city and the worker ants of the colonization team who have just arrived to evacuate and move closer to [Golden Beach City].

After the Red Fire Ant Army successfully captured the empty [Donglin City], they did not achieve the goal of regaining control of the forest ant clan, so they continued to march south under the guidance of the scouts.

To the north of [Golden Beach City], the Divine Envoy King's legion, under the guidance of the Flying Knights, found a favorable terrain and fought a perfect ambush battle.

The 3,000 Red Fire Ant Army was almost wiped out, and only a few dozen deserters who had been intentionally let go returned to the territory to report the news.

Subsequently, the Divine Envoy King's Legion took advantage of the situation to recover [Donglin City], leaving the 10th Legion here to garrison and build defensive facilities such as walls and towers.

After the counterattack failed, the Red Fire Ant Nation finally realized that it would be difficult to deal with the alien ants in the south if they did not have enough troops.

In order to concentrate on dealing with the old enemy in the west, the Red Fire Ant Nation can only choose to temporarily swallow the bitter fruit of losing the forest ant clan.
