In autumn, in the forest, by the stream.

The centipede and his subordinates were bored and huddled on a stone to bask in the sun. At this time, the tall tiger tail grass by the stone has dried up and lodging, and the unobstructed warm sun is shining comfortably on the ants.

At this moment, the Red Fire Ant Army is attacking everywhere to grab the spoils of war, but they leave these vassal troops by the stream, in the name of preventing the enemy from crossing the river.

There are not even trees that are very close to the naked eye on this section of the river that the task force is responsible for, so how can any enemy cross the river, can fly or swim?

Although the centipede did not know the intention of the Red Fire Ant Army's arrangement, they also felt that their order was ridiculous, and simply shrank in the sun to spend their days.

On the side of the Red Fire Ant Army, they are scattered into multiple units and are rampage through the forest with great momentum. Based on the reconnaissance information of the slave bellied ants and the black brown ants, they conquered all the nests within the reach of the soldiers, killed all the enemies, and transported all the booty.

Bloody battles took place in almost every nest, and the remnants of hundreds or thousands of bellied ants still put up a stubborn resistance, but were slaughtered.

The remaining leaf-cutting ants that could not be evacuated were not ordered by the queen and the female, and the queen and the female were the first to retreat to the west bank of the stream; There were no male ants to command, and the male ants also retreated with the large army.

Only a small number of meso-leafcutter ants, as well as those miniature leafcutter ants that have not left the fungus plantation, are trying in vain to protect their homes.

In the face of the crazy bloodthirsty red fire ants, the cowardly leaf-cutting ants who have no way out also fight until they die, and those miniature leaf-cutting ants who have never left their nests and have been busy growing fungi all their lives also spontaneously gathered.

Even if the red fire ants can chew and eat these miniature leaf-cutting ants mercilessly, they also wave their tiny jaws and try to make a final counterattack.

Without any suspense, the Red Fire Ant Army quickly swept away several leaf-cutting ant nests, and with the area of the forest on the east bank of the stream, all the leaf-cutting ant nests would fall in less than two days.

Perhaps because of their old enemies, the red fire ants never intended to hatch the preded leaf-cutting eggs into slavery, but brought them back to eat. These eggs, pupae and larvae, are their favorite trophies.

————

October 8, at noon.

The bored centipede suddenly received an urgent report from the flying knight.

Originally, the flying knights did not dare to go deep into the woods, but with the main force of the leafcutter ant army retreating to the west bank of the stream, there are no more leafcutter ant warriors on the east bank of the stream who will hide in the trees to ambush, and the risk of flying into the forest is greatly reduced, and the flying knights finally come in and re-establish a connection between the Divine Envoy King and the Centipede Task Force of [Red Iron City].

Last night, the task force slept in the makeshift shelter they had dug up, and the red fire ants were busy plundering without providing rations at all.

The task force collected a small amount of food in the vicinity on its own, and ate it, but fortunately everyone was well fed before the battle, and there was no major battle in the past two days, and there was no hunger.

At this time, the Flying Knight made an urgent report and ordered the task force to immediately move south along the stream to support the [Red Iron City] that was attacked by the Red Fire Ant Army.

The centipede was startled, [Red Iron City] was actually attacked by the Red Fire Ant Army!? He hastily gathered his troops and horses, and headed south.

It turned out that today, the Red Fire Ant Army continued to disperse into small forces of thousands, attacking and plundering all over the forest.

There was an army of red fire ants, searching south, and arrived near [Red Iron City] today.

The Divine Envoy King's legion had already known about the movements of the Red Fire Ant Army, and specially arranged 4 legions at the border to disperse and guard them to prevent the Red Fire Ant Army from entering the country.

After all, the Red Fire Ant Army did not know that the Divine Emissary King Legion had captured the all-important [Red Iron City].

In fact, if it weren't for the fall of [Red Iron City], the east bank of the stream would no longer be attractive to the leafcutter ants, and this time the leafcutter ant army might not have given up the territory on the east bank of the stream so simply.

The Red Fire Ant Army soon encountered the Divine Envoy King's Legion, who said that this was their territory and demanded that the Red Fire Ant Army not enter.

But then, a military clash broke out between the two sides.

The commander of this Red Fire Ant Army is himself a disgruntled element of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and has participated in the military operation of besieging [Xinyang City] before, and has always been angry about not being able to win.

He didn't know that the Divine Envoy King's legion had captured [Red Iron City] before this battle, and he thought that it was the Centipede Task Force that had violated the military order to guard the banks of the stream and went to [Red Iron City] to steal the fruits of victory. This annoyed him.

Old sorrows and new hatreds are added together, how can this irritable red fire ant male ant endure it.

He immediately ordered the Divine Envoy King's legion on the opposite side to surrender to the ground, hand over [Red Iron City] and all the spoils inside, and report it to the Council of Elders, where he would propose to severely punish this disobedient vassal army.

In order to show his majesty, he also sent troops over, preparing to capture the commander of the Divine Envoy King's legion on the opposite side, and prepare to correct the Dharma on the spot.

The 8th Army Corps on the opposite side was ordered to garrison the border, prohibiting the Red Fire Ant Army from entering the country, and to use military means if necessary.

At this time, the Red Fire Ant Army ordered to surrender, and sent soldiers to capture the commander, and the commander of the 8th Army Corps, "Centipe", was the blood brother of the special service commander "Centipe", and at this time he felt that it was necessary to order his subordinates to fight back and capture or kill the Red Fire Ant Warriors who came to capture him.

The Red Fire Ant Army on the opposite side saw that this was worth it, and the vassals like slaves actually dared to rebel and immediately sent troops to attack.

The two sides fought together, the strength was about the same, and the Red Fire Ant Army saw that this group of vassals was actually quite powerful, and hurriedly sent messengers to the rear to ask for help.

The Divine Envoy King's legion also immediately sent a telegram to [Red Iron City] for help.

In this way, the Red Fire Ant Army, which was sweeping around, heard that it was attacked by the enemy, and thought that the army of leaf-cutting ants had crossed the river, and rushed from all directions to support.

The protagonist heard that the front line was fighting in [Red Iron City], and he couldn't let his subordinates suffer, so he quickly rushed to help with several legions.

At the same time, the task force in the north has not been forgotten, and the protagonist is afraid that if Zhen and the Red Fire Ant Kingdom suddenly tear their faces, the centipede task force is trapped behind enemy lines, and there is a lot of bad luck, so he orders the flying knights to give them an order to go south quickly.

The Centipede task force, which was moving quickly along the stream, did not know the cause of the conflict between the two sides, but fortunately, there were some vassal troops stationed along the stream, and there was no Red Fire Ant Army, so no one was asking for trouble to stop the task force's unobedient actions.

By the time the task force arrived outside of [Red Iron City], the conflict between the Divine Emissary Legion and the Red Fire Ant Army had been temporarily stopped.

But each side has gathered tens of thousands of warriors, and the saber rattling confrontation is tense!
