The army of the Divine Envoy King's army to attack [Hive City] was only 6 legions, and later 2 legions escorted more than 100,000 captive ant laborers to the canal construction site, and have not yet returned.

This time, the Divine Messenger King Legion only had 4 legions to attack, plus a tank brigade and 1 flying knight squad to assist, with a total of about 12,000 warriors.

With such a force, if it were against the 120,000 troops of the Red Fire Ant Country alone, they would have a numerical disadvantage of 1:10, and they would have no danger to defend in the open field, so they would have no chance of winning at all.

But the Legion of the Divine Angel King still has allies, powerful allies!

After receiving the information provided by the Divine Envoy King Legion, the Leaf Cutting Ant Country was still very shocked when it learned that it had begun to counterattack and conquered the main nest of the Red Fire Ant Country.

The Leaf Cutting Ant Kingdom has been fighting for the Divine Envoy King Legion to participate in the war and jointly deal with the Red Fire Ant Army, and its purpose is also to hope that the Divine Envoy King Legion can contain a part of the enemy army and reduce its own pressure. They knew the power of the Red Fire Ant Army, and they never thought that they would be able to destroy this old enemy in one fell swoop.

Throughout the history of the Leaf-cutting Ant Country, there was only one time when it hit the [Hive City], and it was also pitted by the antlion trap group.

This time, the Divine Envoy King Legion has accomplished a feat that the Leaf Cutter Ant Army has never achieved, so it's no wonder that the Leaf Cutter ants were shocked by their big jaws.

Both the queen and female assemblies of the Leafcutter Ant Nation discussed the impact of this event, and it was finally agreed that now was a good opportunity to eliminate their old enemy, the Red Fire Ant Nation.

The leaf-cutting ants believe very much in the Legion of the Divine Envoy King of the Ant Clan, which is also a civilization inherited from the ancient gods. As a result, among the four or five hundred thousand troops stationed on the front line, 360,000 leaf-cutting ant warriors were ordered to move, and this time even the precious Star Heavenly Bull Holy Beast was dispatched.

The Star Bull leaves the safety of the forest and heads to the predetermined battlefield to reconnoitre.

After half a day of intensive dispatches, the Flying Knight and the Star Sky Bull had already located the location and movement of the Red Fire Ant army, and informed each other of the military situation.

And the Leaf Cutting Ant Army and the Divine Envoy King Army rushed forward from two directions, preparing to encircle and annihilate the last main force of the Red Fire Ant Clan.

After the Divine Envoy King's legion left [Hive City], the local garrison was handed over to the Big-headed Ant Worker Ants, who had just immigrated here, and the defense was very weak.

However, at present, the Red Fire Ant army has no intention of returning to the division, and some of the other secondary nests are not aware of the shocking changes in the main nest, and the reinforcements they have provided one after another have also gone to the western front line according to the orders of the previous main nest, and will not threaten [Hive City] for the time being.

The sporadic presence of a small number of red fire ants and slave ants is not yet a threat to [Hive City]. And [Xinyangcheng] sent the regiment that was originally used to open up the south bank of the Qing River to rush to support.

[Hive City] is safe for the time being, and the Divine Envoy King's legion can fully devote itself to the next big battle without worrying about the rear.

————

The army of red fire ants marched in three columns through the barren wilderness.

The ant road, which has been opened up by ants for thousands of years, winds through this land, and the marching queue of the army of red fire ants stretches on the winding road, standing in the middle of the procession, and you can't see the end of the line at either end.

Although there are many ants, although they do not yet know the changes in the main nest, the commanders of the red fire ants have gradually realized some unfavorable situations.

Since yesterday, the army of red fire ants has not received a messenger from the main hive [Hive City], and the messenger sent back has not yet returned.

Since the messenger returning to the city had not yet reached the last time when it was time to return, the commanders of the Red Fire Ant army had not paid much attention to this information, perhaps it was just a little delay on the way?

Several other pieces of information have aroused the alarm of the red fire ant males.

There are also tens of thousands of red fire ant troops confronting the leafcutter ant army on the front line, and they have just sent a messenger saying that the leafcutter ant army has suddenly launched an attack, and the frontline troops cannot resist and have retreated. And the army of leafcutter ants is heading here.

In addition, some of the red fire ants who were in charge of the lookout found that the flies of the Divine Envoy King's Legion and the Star Celestial Bull of the Leafcutter Ant Country had been flying over the head of the army.

These lookouts are trained, and some of them are males, with good eyesight and no mistake.

There were 12 elders in the Red Fire Ant army, who were the supreme commanders, and they called a number of male ant officers to a combat meeting to discuss the current military situation.

The Flying Knights of the Divine Envoy King didn't make the Red Fire Ants feel threatened, those nasty flies were always flying, and wherever the Red Fire Ants appeared, these flies would follow, and they were used to it.

Last year, the Red Fire Ant Kingdom solemnly negotiated with the Divine Envoy King Legion, and the Divine Envoy King Legion no longer sent flying knights to the [Hive City] area to cross the border to reconnoitre, but in other places, the flying knights were still arrogant.

Although the red fire ants were angry, they were not really harmed, and they did not take drastic actions. Anyway, they were repeatedly investigated by the suzerainty and other forces back then, and they did not realize the importance of air supremacy.

However, the appearance of the Star Sky Bull of the Leaf-cutting Ant Army means that it is extremely unusual. The Red Fire Ants knew this opponent and knew that they valued the Holy Beast Star Celestial Bull as very precious and would not let it leave the forest area easily.

Once the Star Bull leaves the forest, it means that the Leaf Cutting Ant Army is ready for a big battle, and it is a preparation for the battle of the country.

The Red Fire Ants are a belligerent Spartan-like ant clan, and in normal times, they like to assemble enemy troops, and they can completely destroy the main enemy army in a single battle, and then pursue them with victory, just like last year's "Battle of the World".

However, the Red Fire Ant clan is not stupid, they will also assess the balance of power between the two sides, and they also know that their own strength has been greatly damaged this year, and it is not suitable for a decisive battle.

The strategic purpose of this Red Fire Ant Army was not originally for a decisive battle, but to use its familiarity with the terrain to drag the leaf-cutting ant army and prevent it from continuing to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the country, and then consider counterattacking after the national reserve force has grown up in the autumn.

But now, the elders of the Red Fire Ant Army gradually realized that although they had no intention of fighting a decisive battle, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army did.

The enemy has reversed the usual steady tactics of occupying a few nests on the border, then planting trees, and waiting for more than ten years for the trees to grow into forests before continuing to expand.

To fight, or to retreat, the army of red fire ants needs to make a decision.

But in fact, even a high-ranking elder like the Red Fire Ant did not dare to make the decision to avoid the war, and the brave Red Fire Ant would not tolerate their elders being "cowardly", and maybe the young male ants would go down to the top to slaughter the elders directly.

This has happened more than once in the history of the Red Fire Ant Nation, which has also led to the fact that their ruling class is dominated by young Zhuang factions from top to bottom, and is filled with a fanatical and belligerent atmosphere.

Eventually, the elders decided to fight, and the army of red fire ants began to march lightly, rushing to a secondary nest with suitable terrain and an important location in front of them, ready to meet the army of leafcutter ants there.

And they didn't know that their rear had changed, and another enemy army was killing along the same path they had come!
