On this day, after the cliff surprise attack was repulsed, the Red Fire Ant Army's scattered offensive failed to take advantage of it after all, and it did not find a suitable location for a breakthrough.

In the afternoon, the Red Fire Ants launched another onslaught, and despite the fierce fighting, the enemy did not make any breakthrough.

Before dusk, the Red Fire Ant Army began to retreat as it had been yesterday, and the Red Fire Ant Warriors and Slave Auxiliaries returned to the nest of trees in the Golden Beach Forest.

The Legion of the Divine Envoy ended its second fierce fighting since landing in the region. The last time such a fierce battle was yesterday.

To the delight of the entire Divine Envoy King Legion, the next day, the Flying Knight reported that the Red Fire Ant Army, together with the auxiliary army, did not go to the direction of [Xinyang City] after setting off from the tree nest, but retreated in the direction of the main nest of the Red Fire Ant Country.

The Flying Knights followed all the way to make sure that the enemy had withdrawn to their territory, rather than taking a different route and taking a detour to [Xinyang City].

It seems that the enemy's offensive yesterday was at the end of its strength, and they have lost the ability and courage to continue the attack.

The enemy retreated, and the commander of the Divine Angel King's legion, as well as the Divine Soldier Ants and Divine Worker Ants, were very happy, and they felt that the Divine Messenger King's Legion had won another victory.

The warriors left the city walls and collected the corpses of the enemy on the battlefield, recovering supplies such as ballista shells and slings.

The enemy didn't take the corpse, so they didn't care, but the Divine Envoy King's legion was afraid that the corpse would bring a plague if it didn't converge, so it had to collect the corpse for the enemy.

Unlike the elation and busyness of the whole army, the protagonist ponders alone, knowing that things are not so simple, and that the enemy's retreat can only be due to other reasons, not fear of his own side.

The protagonist clearly sees that in the past few days of fighting, the enemy has not been beaten and feared. The Divine Envoy King Legion was no longer at its peak, and now even the frontal force of 10,000 warriors did not inflict fatal damage on the other side.

From ambushing the enemy's troops chasing the bellied ants, to two consecutive days of offensive and defensive battles, the Divine Envoy King's legion killed and wounded four or five thousand enemies. The enemy still has at least half of its forces ready to fight.

And the Divine Envoy King Legion has also paid a lot of losses, and if the battle continues, it will be difficult for the Divine Envoy King Legion to hold on to its existing strength.

The protagonist guessed correctly, the reason why the Red Fire Ant Army retreated was only because they ran out of food. This army did not carry much grain and grass when it set out to raise the bellied ants, and most of the grain and grass captured after conquering the nests of trees were transported back to the homeland, where there was a shortage of food.

Attacking [Xinyang City] for two consecutive days is already the bottom line of the food and grass guarantee of the Red Fire Ant Army. They carried too few auxiliaries to serve the soldiers, and they could not afford to send auxiliaries out in search of food.

Although the commander of the Red Fire Ant Army knew that if he did not complete the mission, the elders would punish him severely. But he knew better that if too many of his own warriors were lost here, that was the stupidity that God could not save himself.

Although he failed to conquer the new alien ants this time, he conquered the belly ant clan as planned, and at the same time learned about the military strength of the alien ants - this is a group of powerful ants. I believe that the merits and demerits will be offset, and I will not be punished too heavily.

The commander of the red fire ant has already cleverly calculated the gains and losses of his own interests.

- I'm the dividing line -

On the side of the Divine Envoy King's legion, after learning that the enemy had retreated, they began to prepare for an even more busy and even frenzied battle.

Through the first head-to-head encounter, the Divine King's Legion knew its current shortcomings.

For example, their troops are too small, and the Divine Envoy King's legion now only has three legions of standing soldiers, of which the combat effectiveness of the 3rd legion is still worrying.

On that day, under the orders of the protagonist, the Divine Envoy King's army began the largest preparations since the landing.

A large number of worker ants go out and begin to forage for food in an almost frenzied, dry and fish-like manner. In the past, ants would deliberately skip some of the eggs to ensure the number of prey in the future.

But now, the foraging team of the Divine Envoy King's legion has dug almost every foot into the ground from the northern forests to the riverside tidal flats, bringing back all the resources that can be eaten and available.

In [Xinyang City], all the big-headed ant god soldier ants and soldier ants are gathered together, and the special male ants are inspected one by one according to the tradition, and the healthy and non-disabled soldier ants are drawn out and prepared to form a new legion. This scene also takes place among other vassal ants.

According to the current number of ant mouths in [Xinyang City], the protagonist plans to form 3 new legions and reorganize the 3rd legion at the same time, so that there will be 6 main legions composed entirely of big-headed ant soldiers and ants.

The Scythe Hunters are responsible for providing the strength of the 12 scout squads required by these 6 legions.

At the same time, some of the squads split from the 3rd Legion, plus the newly formed units of other vassal ant clans, can also have 20 paving ant squads under the protagonist's command, 10 belly lift ant squads (the "Old Heart Belly Lift Ant Clan" has not yet recovered and has not provided troops, these squads are all from the "Careful Belly Lift Ant Clan"), and 10 leaf-cutting ant squads, which are mixed into the 101st Legion.

At the same time, there are also some workers of various ethnic groups who are working on the city wall in sections. The amount of work they need to do is very large.

In actual combat, the protagonist discovers that the relatively smooth city wall is not conducive to the climbing of red fire ants, so he wants to increase the height of the wall in front of [Xinyang City] to 2 decimeters, which is twice as high as it is now.

In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the defenders, a new gate was built in the inner part of the eastern corner: the gate was guarded by two towers, and the gate only had a doorway and no door, but in an emergency, the protagonist or several divine soldiers could move a stone to block the doorway tightly.

At the same time, the density of towers on the city walls will be increased to half a meter each, and ballistas will be added to enhance long-range firepower.

Whether it's building towers or building ballistas, a lot of antmen are needed.

In addition to raising the frontal wall, the protagonist also plans to enclose the entire peninsula with a low wall to ensure that there will be no further sneak attacks.

Inside [New Yang City], a small number of bronze weapons in stock were reactivated, and they were used to arm the newly formed troops along with gravel weapons.

In the workshop, more gravel weapons are being manufactured, and gravel is the only weapon material that the Divine Envoy King's Legion does not lack at the moment.

Not only in the stone tool workshop, but almost all the ant workers in the workshop work in two shifts. These workshops involved food or utensils and were also important to the legions of the Divine Messenger King.

At the same time, in this battle, the iron armor proves its worth, and it also makes the protagonist's desire to obtain iron ore even stronger.

In order to deal with the red fire ants that are coming back at any time, the protagonist decides to send a mission with some gifts, hoping to reach a trade or even alliance relationship with the Leaf Cirler Ant Country.

From the "old heart" who completely surrenders, the protagonist knows that some local ant colonies are capable of forming "alliances".
