The Courier has been killed, negotiations have broken down, and now there are few options left before the Legion of the Emissary King:

The most direct way is to completely defeat the enemy, hurt the enemy, so that they will never dare to invade the riverbank area again, and use their strength to win a living space for themselves.

However, the Divine Envoy King's Legion only has three legions with less than 10,000 warriors, and although the total number of troops in the Red Fire Ant Nation is unclear, according to the frank confession of the Bellied Ant Clan who have surrendered, it is believed that there are "millions of people", although it may not be accurate, but it can also roughly reflect the scale of its strength, which is very terrifying.

The second option is to fight a small-scale and short-term battle, show strength, and in the event of a favorable situation, according to the original plan, at the cost of becoming a vassal of the red fire ants and other conditions in exchange for peace.

This is also the reason why the protagonist was determined to destroy two thousand enemies in one battle yesterday.

Now the Red Fire Ants have rejected the first negotiation terms, but if the God Makes the King's Legion continue to make the Red Fire Ants pay an unbearable price, it is not impossible to negotiate again. This strategy is similar to Singapore's "poisonous bee" strategy, and even if you can make a great effort to conquer me, you will not gain more than you lose.

There is also the last way, which is to find a way to provoke a war between the leaf-cutting ants and the red fire ants, so that the red fire ants have no time to take care of anything else, at least they can't concentrate on dealing with the Divine Envoy King Legion, and win a survival gap for the Divine Envoy King Legion.

Either way, the prerequisite is to hold [Xinyang City], which is already the last home of the Divine Envoy King Legion!

The Divine Envoy King's legion could no longer afford a major defeat, and this time, they didn't even have a walnut boat to run away!

- I'm the dividing line -

After the Red Fire Ant Army killed the messenger of the Divine Envoy King's legion, they already knew that the murderer who killed their two thousand soldiers yesterday was this foreign ant force that they had not heard of before.

At the same time, in the original nest of the bellied ant clan, the red fire ants interrogated some of the remaining belly ant captives, and also learned some information about the Divine Envoy King Legion.

Yesterday's post-war interrogation did not take place immediately, and the existence of the Divine Envoy King's legion was hidden for one more day.

Although the bellied ants came to destroy the country, they also implemented a policy of leaving no captives before the bellied ants completely lost their resistance.

However, after the bellied ants have completely lost their ability to resist, the red fire ants still choose to leave some worker ants, males and queens alive, and these captives will be transported back to the country with a large number of captured ant eggs, larvae, and ant pupae to become slaves in the red fire ant nest in the future.

The Red Fire Ants had hoped that these belly slaves would be able to produce their own honeydew and crow honey for the Red Fire Ant Nation, but it turned out that the situation was not right.

Among the male captives, the oldest is a male ant with a broken antennae, so let's call him "one-horned".

"One-horned" and "old heart" are both the kings with the highest qualifications of the belly-raising ant clan. Now that the three kings have parted ways, one died in yesterday's battle, the "old heart" defected to the Divine Envoy King army, and the "one-horned" surrendered to the Red Fire Ant Nation.

The red fire ants learned some information about the Divine Envoy King Legion from the "Onehorn", and only then did they know that the bellied ant clan had actually concealed an important piece of information from the suzerainlord country for nearly a year, and the honeydew and crow honey they were thinking about were not produced by these bellied ants at all.

The extinction of the red fire ants this time was by no means a whim, but a careful calculation.

Last year, the high-quality honeydew and crow honey with a fatal attraction that the bellied ant clan suddenly took out in large quantities in the trade have already made the red fire ants of the suzerainty country salivate. It's just that last year was busy with the battle with the leafcutter ants, and the red fire ants didn't have time to pay attention to this matter.

The consequences of last year's drought caused by food shortages have continued into the spring of this year, and even the red fire ants are now running out of food.

At this time, they chose to conquer the bellied ants, so that they could use the food reserves of the bellied ants (the bellied ants had exchanged large sums of food from the red fire ants through the transit trade last year, which far exceeded their consumption), and they could also produce and sell honeydew and crow honey through the bellied ant slaves.

This is a very beneficial plan for red fire ants.

However, although the red fire ants have seized a lot of food as they wished, they can temporarily alleviate the food crisis. But another task, honeydew and crow honey, which the males of the red fire ants are more concerned about, is not in the hands of the bellied ants.

The bellied ants have even abandoned their own "brown helmet wax scales", and only a small amount of honeydew is stocked in their nests.

The commander of the Red Fire Ant who led the army this time was a male ant with medium seniority, and he was instructed by the Council of Elders of the Red Fire Ant before leaving, knowing that the 36 elders valued Honeydew and Crow Honey more, and he also knew clearly that if he did not complete this task, what would happen to him in the country of Red Fire Ants with strict military law.

Therefore, he has made up his mind to lead his troops to conquer these foreign big-headed ants, kill all their soldiers and commanders, plunder the worker ants as slaves, and the queen ant becomes the fertility machine of the new slaves, and completely master the honeydew and crow honey resources.

Even if the scouts came today with information that these foreign big-headed ants had actually wiped out the detachment with a large number of troops that had disappeared yesterday, the commander of the Red Fire Ants did not waver in his decision.

He still had more than 7,000 warriors under his command, and he felt that no ant force could withstand the attack of so many red fire ants except for the leaf-cutting ants and the behemoth in the north.

- I'm the dividing line -

The protagonist has no idea what is happening inside the red fire ants, but that doesn't stop him from actively preparing for the battle.

Such a large [Xinyang City] could not be hidden, and in the morning, there were already red fire ant scouts near [Xinyang City].

The protagonist specially sent several scythe hunting and fierce ant squads, under the guidance of the god worker ant flying knight in the sky, to try to eliminate these approaching scouts and delay time.

However, the disappearance of the scouts in this direction also aroused suspicion, and the scout troops of the red fire ants spied more intensively, and at the same time changed from a single scout to a small force.

The scout battle between the two sides became white-hot.

The Hunting Scythe Ant and the Red Fire Ant are both warriors with strong individual combat effectiveness. The Scythe Hunter Ant is huge, not much more than the Destroyer, and can bite the Red Fire Ant into two pieces in one bite. However, these scythes are not equipped with iron armor, and the stings of the red fire ants are also fatal to the scythes.

When the Scythe Hunter squad is unable to eliminate the Red Fire Ant Scout in the first place, the ambush becomes an encounter in which both sides continue to add troops.

And the location of [Xinyang City] was finally passed back by the Red Fire Ant Scout.

Seeing that this is no longer possible, the protagonist orders the 2nd Legion to attack, defeats the Red Fire Ant Scouts, and returns to the city with the Scythe Hunter Scouts, who have lost more than 20 soldiers.
