The morning sun shines from behind, illuminating the surface of the forest opposite, and the dense canopy seems to be particularly vivid.

However, from the canopy downwards, the haze between the trunks of the trees is thick and deep, the darkness that the sun cannot dispel, and the black holes in the woods open one after another, but they seem to swallow all the creatures who dare to step into the forest at any time.

Perhaps this was not his own delusion, the centipede knew that it could really devour itself and its own troops in the forest, and in it, there were 300,000 enemies waiting for him.

This information was obtained by the Flying Knight at the cost of two lives before, and the Divine Envoy King Legion entrenched in [Red Iron City] was also facing the threat of this leaf-cutting ant army, so it took a lot of hard work to finally grasp the more accurate information.

The Red Fire Ant Army also learned this information from the Divine Envoy King's legion, but they didn't really care about the number of enemies. The Red Fire Ant Warrior never asks how many enemies there are, only where they are.

But if you are not afraid, you are not afraid, why did you send me as a pioneer! The centipede was full of resentment.

After two days of close contact with the Red Fire Ant Army, even the sluggish ants could detect the disgust and hostility displayed by the Red Fire Ants. But they had to do what they were told.

At this time, the centipede and the two legions under his command were slowly marching on the ground under the dry grass, approaching the black hole forest.

Today is October 7th, the day of the Red Fire Ant Army's attack.

The Centipede Task Force is tight-knit and ready to respond to ambushes and sneak attacks. Now, the army has entered a transition zone between the forest and grass, with a few scattered trees replacing the original shrubs, and the weeds are more sparse and can no longer shade the army.

Under a tree there was a large open field where the Centipede Task Force rested.

Also acting as a striker was another forest ant unit, which at first walked behind the centipede task force, but when the centipede task force stopped to rest, the forest ant force overtook and quickly burrowed into the forest not far away.

At the same time, the Red Fire Ants' team of warlords followed closely behind, and as they passed by the Centipede task force, a small group of Red Fire Ants approached and ordered the Centipede to move forward with their troops immediately, and they looked very dissatisfied.

The centipede did not like these red fire ants, but he did not attack at the order of the king of the gods, and the team rested for a while, and when the sun was full, they continued on their way.

When you actually get into the woods and get two or three trees away, it's like you've entered another world.

Overhead, the sunlight is completely covered by layers of leaves, only sporadic light penetrates, imprinting small spots of light on the deep surface, the light seeping in from the edge of the forest has been completely absorbed by the darkness, and the woods are dark and silent, only the subtle footsteps of ants stepping on the dead branches and fallen leaves.

The centipede didn't like this kind of environment, and the warriors of the Divine Envoy King probably didn't like it. Because the food of the Divine Envoy King's legion is well nutritious, the eyesight of the Divine Envoy King's warriors is generally stronger than that of other ants of the same race, and it is no wonder that they will be very uncomfortable when they enter a dark and dreary world and are forced to rely on their tentacles again.

The centipede thought about the food for the past two days, and the food provided by the Red Fire Ant Army was really poor, far worse than when it was in China. But I can't pay attention to that now.

What he cares about is where is the enemy?

The centipede has been worried about this problem, there are too many enemies, a full 300,000, enough to swallow the centipede and the task force in one gulp before the reinforcements of the red fire ant army come up, and there is not even a slag left.

It's like a fish swallowing the bait, maybe the fish will be caught in the end, but what does that have to do with the red earthworm that is the bait?

Therefore, even if a small group of red fire ant warlords in the back urged repeatedly, the centipede did not speed up, gathered all his subordinates together, and only sent a small number of scouts.

Anyway, the forest ants in front of them have already obediently carried out their tasks, so it's good to be obscene and develop on their own side. Fortunately, most of the Red Fire Ants' Overseers followed the forest ants, and only a small number followed them, so they did not pose any threat to the Centipede Task Force.

Keeping the troops together can facilitate the establishment of a defensive line as soon as possible in the event of an enemy attack, and then hold out until the army of red fire ants arrives in the rear, which is the strategy of the centipede.

Frankly speaking, the command of the centipede is not suitable to be the vanguard, and the vanguard unit should do a good job of reconnaissance, probe the enemy's position and movements, and provide guidance to the large army. The forest ants did a good job, but the centipede chose to resolutely carry out the order of the Divine Envoy King to preserve his strength.

After penetrating the distance of about six or seven trees, some forest ants and worker ants suddenly ran in front, and after they came into contact with the Divine Envoy King warriors, they immediately provided some information, and then continued to run back, preparing to report to the main force.

The centipede received an information package from the soldiers under his command, and learned that the forest ants in front had found some traces of the leaf-cutting ant army, and the number of leaf-cutting ant armies found at present did not seem to be much, and the two sides had already taken up the battle!

The red fire ants behind them sent a herald, and they also received information from the forest ant messenger, asking the centipede to immediately lead the team to support.

The centipedes looked up at the sky, and it was gloomy under the canopy, and there were no flying knights hovering overhead, they remained out of the woods for the time being, and did not enter the vulnerable woods. The centipedes were looking around, and there were no flank covering troops at all.

The centipedes, who were accustomed to the steady military deployment of the Divine Envoy King Army, hated to feel that the Red Fire Ant Army had let its troops go up like this, what if there was a wave of enemies on the side? There are no scouts and covering troops on the flanks at all, okay!

After negotiating with the commander of the red fire ants behind him to no avail and being threatened, the centipede did not want to tear his face with the other party, so he had to separate some forest ants and belly ant warriors of the 101st Legion to stretch out on both wings and establish an early warning line.

Then, the centipede led the main force to move forward quickly to support the forest ants.

By the time the Centipede task force arrived, the forest ants had already repelled the army of leaf-cutting ants in front of them. Looking at the scattered leaf-cutting ant corpses on the ground, the number was very small, and the centipede was a little puzzled.

Isn't there an army of 300,000 leafcutter ants, which have already gone far into the woods at this time, why did they encounter such a few leafcutter ants?

The forest ants and bellied ants on both wings did not find the enemy either, and the large army of leaf-cutter ants seemed to have disappeared, or rather, they may have moved!

At this time, the commander of the Red Fire Ant also felt that something was wrong, and he sent a herald to ask the forward troops to disperse and search immediately, and make sure to find the enemy.

The forest ants immediately took the order and left, scattered into small teams, and spread out to investigate.

The centipede only sent a dozen or so teams of forest ants and belly ants to scatter and scout in the trees, and most of them were still together.
