[Red Iron City] is stepping up construction, and the Leaf Cutting Ant Nation is also quick to respond.

The protagonist didn't kill the captives before, and asked the captives to bring back the information, originally thinking that he could find an excuse to make the Leaf Cutting Ant Country feel that this matter was not to tear his face, and felt that there was a chance to solve the problem diplomatically.

As long as the other party can be dragged into the negotiation, the protagonist is sure to contain the other party for at least a few days and hold on until the [Red Iron City] is completed. Now, the strength of the Leafcutter Ant Country has been greatly damaged, maybe I will talk about it first?

But the Leafcutter Nation's countermeasures show that they don't seem to want to talk to any of the forces that occupy their territory.

On September 14th, the Flying Knight discovered that an army of red fire ants had arrived near [Red Iron City].

In the woods, the early warning distance of the flying knights is much smaller than that in the open field, and the flying knights on the mission are not suitable for aerial reconnaissance in the woods, and the dense foliage will block the view, so that they have to lower their flight altitude. At the same time, there are dense cobwebs in the woods, lurking predators, and even leaf-cutting ant warriors lurking in the trees.

After losing 2 Flying Knights in a row for three days, the protagonist can only have the Divine Envoy Legion narrow down the range of movement in the woods to the area around [Red Iron City].

Therefore, when the Leaf Cutting Ant Army arrived nearby, the Divine Envoy King's army received the information.

Judging from the direction, this leaf-cutting ant army is obviously transferred from the border area with the red fire ant country, and the number is about 24,000, of which more than seventy or eighty percent are medium-leaf cutting ants.

The Leaf Cutting Ant Army currently has deployed more than 200,000 troops on the border to prevent the Red Fire Ant Army from taking advantage of the invasion of the Red Fire Ant Army, which has just won a big victory, even if the Red Fire Ant Army has temporarily retreated and disbanded, and returned to various nests to rest, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army does not dare to take it lightly.

A big defeat that has been rare in recent years has made the leaf-cutting ant kingdom during this period like a frightened fly, often overreacting.

The sneak attack of the Divine Envoy King Legion at this time was something that the queen and female ants of the leaf-cutting ants did not expect

Although the relationship between the two sides has broken down at present, they feel that it is also the god who made the king's legion deceive first, and made such a bad blasphemy, and it is already extremely gracious that the Leaf Cutting Ant Kingdom did not punish them for the time being, and as a result, these blasphemers actually invaded and occupied the hematite dedicated to the gods.

The Leaf Cutting Ant Nation could not tolerate the evil deeds of the Blasphemous, and they had always felt that the Divine Envoy King's army was weak and took it lightly. This time, they drew more than 20,000 troops from the border guards to fight back, feeling that it was enough to regain the lost territory and teach the blasphemers a lesson!

————

At this time, [Red Iron City] has not yet been completed, and it does not have the ability to defend, but fortunately, the 6 legions led by the protagonist have not yet left.

The protagonist hurriedly orders the commanders to gather their troops back from the construction site, get their equipment ready, and prepare for the attack.

At this time, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army is already very close to [Red Iron City]!

The army of more than 20,000 leaf-cutting ants began to divide their forces after approaching [Red Iron City], and four groups of one or two thousand troops each began to climb the trees and advance from the aerial road of branches and vines crisscrossing them. And their main forces continued to march from the ground.

The Divine Envoy King's legion didn't know much about the roads and terrain on the trees, and after receiving a flying report, the protagonist left 2 legions to guard around the [Red Iron City] construction site, and he led 4 legions to the northeast to invite the enemy's main force.

Soon, the battle began simultaneously in several directions.

On the ground, the Divine Envoy King Legion took the initiative to charge with a sharp arrow formation, although they were fewer in number, but all of them were equipped with iron jaws and simple iron armor, and the individual combat effectiveness even surpassed that of the Red Fire Ant Warriors.

On the other hand, on the side of the leaf-cutter ant army, although the ground force has nearly 20,000 soldiers, it is mainly composed of medium-leaf cutter ants, but there are more large leafcutter ants and small leafcutter ants in the roundabout troops on the tree.

This was the first time that the Divine Envoy King's Legion had engaged the Leafcutter Ant Army, and they soon found that the Medium Leafcutter Ant on the opposite side was vulnerable, and its performance was not even as good as that of the vassal Forestant Warriors of the Red Fire Ant Country.

The small number of large and small leafcutter ants are the backbone of the army, and the large leafcutter ant has a hard carapace and is like a mainstay in the military formation, and other soldiers fight around the large leafcutter ant.

Even if these large leaf-cutting ants are warriors of the Divine Envoy King, they have to besiege them together and attack the weak point of the carapace with iron jaws in order to kill each other.

However, the little leafcutter ants are very agile and flexible, and they will even burrow into the dense formation of the Divine King warriors from any gap, attacking weaknesses such as compound eyes and soft anus. Although these hard-packed little leaf-cutting ants can't survive for a few seconds, their desperate attacks can also exchange their lives for injuries from time to time.

When the small leaf-cutter ants died in the battle, the number of larger leaf-cutter ants was even rarer one by one in the siege, and the leaf-cutter ant army gradually could not resist.

At the same time, around [Red Iron City], countless leaf-cutting ant armies emerged from every nearby tree. They descended down the trunk of the tree to the ground and attacked the [Red Iron City] construction site.

The workers of the Divine Envoy King Legion who were working had already been protected on the Luanshu Heights, and the Divine Envoy Wang warriors of the 2 legions had set up a defensive line on the periphery, leaving 10 squads on the trunk of the Luanshu tree to guard against the enemy troops descending the trees.

The Divine King's legion relied on the high ground and took the lead in counterattacking with a sling.

The Leafcutter Ant Army attacking here is more elite, but its combat effectiveness is also limited. In the Battle of the World, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army lost almost all of its elite, and the troops currently sent are all troops on the second and third floors.

The Leaf Cutting Ant Army was never able to break through the frontal defense line of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and the troops that went around the trunk of the Luan tree to attack downward were also blocked by the Divine Envoy King warriors who were defending at the root of the tree.

Instead, some leaf-cutting ant warriors jumped down from the luan tree and into the team of protected worker ants, causing some confusion.

However, the worker ants of the Divine Envoy King's legion are not easy to mess with, and each worker ant is also a warrior, and during the old big-headed ant kingdom, the worker ants fought side by side with the soldier ants. It's just that now there are no more worker ants in the regular army of the Divine Envoy King's Legion.

What's more, these worker ants also have iron jaw knives, and the ones who jump down are mainly small and medium leaf cutter ants, and they find themselves alone and are not even the match for these big-headed worker ants.

When the protagonist leads his army to repel the main force of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army, the enemy forces besieging [Red Iron City] can only retreat.

The Divine Envoy King's legion pursued for a while, but basically did not achieve any results, once the leaf-cutting ants climbed the tree, they were as vigorous as water spiders entering the water, and they fled flexibly and quickly along the various roads, and it seemed that they could find their way without the guidance of pheromones.

The pursuing god made the king warrior face the intertwined and complicated roads in the trees, but it was as if he had entered a labyrinth, and he was at a loss.

But no matter what, the Divine Envoy King Legion repelled the first counterattack of the Leafcutter Ant Army at a slight cost.
