The scene in the territory of the Divine Envoy King's Legion did not last long, and the moment the signal was received, the climax of production activities suddenly receded, as fast as the ebb tide, leaving only a mess outside [Xinyang City].

On April 1st, as if God was joking, on the day when the protagonist had almost forgotten that it was still an April Fool's Day for humans, the army of red fire ants suddenly went out.

Countless enemy soldiers poured out of [Hive City], lined up in a long line, circled outside the Northern Black Forest, and then pointed straight at [Xinyang City].

These days, the Divine Envoy King Legion has been staring at [Hive City] by flying knights, and there are three groups of flying knights in shifts throughout the day, just to be able to give early warning when this moment comes.

As soon as the army of red fire ants was dispatched, [Xinyang City] immediately received the alarm brought back by the flying knights, and then sent a large number of messengers to inform the ants working outside the city to prepare to move.

After finally confirming that the target of the Red Fire Ant Army was their own country, the Flying Knights sent back the highest level of alert.

The remaining flying knights in [Xinyang City] poured out of the nest, hovering separately in the territory, and constantly changing locations, flying everywhere to show the trajectory of the police. Even those ants working in relatively remote locations, even if they didn't get the first warning from the messenger, looked up at the traces of the blurred shadows in the sky, and knew that they should go back to the city in time to take refuge.

In half a day, the busy work scene outside [Xinyang City] quickly disappeared, the ants and herds were moved back to the city or the peninsula, the farmland that had grown lush was abandoned, and the hunting team that had been halfway through the hunt couldn't even take care of the prey they had just caught, and hurriedly fled back.

- I'm the dividing line -

The protagonist is alerted as soon as possible, and after the Flying Knights confirm the official attack of the Red Fire Ants, the protagonist holds a brief combat meeting and asks the Legion Commanders to pull out their troops and assemble them to carry out defensive tasks according to the predetermined plan.

This time the enemy is menacing, and the protagonist doesn't know that the Red Fire Ant Army has been delayed for nearly half a month because of the lack of food for the soldiers.

He believes that the enemy must be fully prepared this time, just like the longer the slingling spins, the more powerful the shot will be, and the offensive of the Red Fire Ant Army this time must be a long-term accumulation of strength and thunder!

According to the rough observation of the flying knights, the Red Fire Ant Army dispatched at least tens of thousands of soldiers this time, and the enemy ranks lined up in a slender line, stretching for hundreds of meters, and when the vanguard had already set off for a while, the follow-up troops had not even left the [Hive City] underground.

There was a factor that seriously interfered with the Flying Knights' estimation of the number of enemy troops, so that they could not get a more accurate number for a while. This factor is that half of the Red Fire Ant Army that attacked this time were slave auxiliaries.

The warriors of the red fire ant clan only accounted for about half of the army this time, and the rest were slave auxiliaries of various clans, after the identification of the "old heart" of the male ants of the bellied ants, these slave auxiliaries included burrow ants, forest ants, black brown ants, and even belly ants! All the slave ants of the red fire ant clan are among them.

It is precisely because of the convergence of so many ants of different races, their body colors and shapes, and they are all moving at high speed, and they are often interspersed with each other, that the flying knights' original method of estimating the number according to the size of the enemy, the length and width of the formation, the statistical method that is more suitable for a single ant race, is not accurate for a while.

However, the Flying Knights still managed to estimate the number of enemy troops, they split up to lower the altitude, gathered as much information as possible, and then went to the nearby trees to communicate, and calculated that the enemy army was about 100,000 people.

With such a force, even the Divine Envoy King Legion in its heyday did not dare to underestimate it. The current Divine Envoy King Legion, in the face of such a powerful enemy, is even more careless, and will lose everything. Even the battle-hardened protagonist knows it's going to be a bad fight!

It is worth mentioning that while the Flying Knights lowered their altitude and circled to estimate the strength of the enemy army, some of the bellied ant warriors seemed to be instructed to start spraying formic acid into the air. It's just that they shoot at a height of less than a decimeter. The flying knights were not actually threatened, but they also raised their flight altitude.

- I'm the dividing line -

In the evening of the same day, the sun had already set half-set, and the army of red fire ants advancing around the edge of the northern Black Forest finally arrived at the outskirts of [Xinyang City].

The Divine Messenger King's legions were already on the newly fortified walls, with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th legions in the front line, and the most elite 1st and 2nd legions in the rear.

In the dim light, the protagonist standing on the high ant mound, only to see the enemy's black oppression, like a torrent swept in, the original bright red, or black-brown, reddish-brown ants of all races, at this moment in the twilight, look like a deep and shallow black.

The enemy stopped in the hollow north of [Xinyangcheng] and assembled north of the hollow. Little by little, the black torrent converges into a black lake, like a black reservoir hanging above the dam, as if the moment the dam collapses, it will sweep everything in front of it away.

The number of enemy troops is really amazing, there are 10,000 ants, and when you look left and right when the front is parallel, you feel boundless, not to mention that this is a hundred thousand people.

After the enemy army gathered, it finally occupied more than a dozen square meters of ground, densely packed with shadows and shadows, all of which were the enemy's heads swinging and their tentacles shaking.

The enemy did not attack immediately, but the army of the Divine Envoy King still did not dare to be careless, and the whole army was on alert, and the enemy had already begun to set up camp.

At this time, from the information packet brought back by the flying knights, the protagonist can see the difference in status between the warriors of the Red Fire Ant clan and the slave auxiliaries.

The warriors of the Red Fire Ant clan gathered in small formations, standing still, and some slave warriors spit out food from their stomachs and fed the Red Fire Ants who had been hungry after a day's trek.

There were also many slave auxiliaries, mainly burrowing ants, who, like their own race names, began to dig their nests with great difficulty.

It seems that the enemy is trying to set up a camp in the capital close to [Xinyang City].

The enemy's nest is out of range of the ballista, and the protagonist has nothing to stop them from doing, so he can only watch.

In addition to serving the red fire ants and building nests, the slave auxiliaries in the red fire ant army also began to collect some of the military rations they carried with their mouths and moved them into the underground barracks that had just been dug little by little.

In this way, it was not until after dark for a long time that the army of 100,000 red fire ants settled down and lived underground one after another.

Only one legion was left on the side of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and the rest of the troops went back to rest.

The protagonist still doesn't go back, he watches the enemy camp in the dark, as if he is thinking about something.
