On November 2, the combined forces of the bellied ant and the Siberian antboard ant took the lead in the attack, and two other small tribes of Yidatou ant and hairy ant also sent hundreds of ants to help in the battle.

Speaking of this alliance of belly ants and Siberian stink ants, it is very interesting.

The two tribes were founded in different parts of the same pine tree in the same year, not far apart, and they fought in the first year.

Don't look at the belly raising ant in the red fire ant country and the ant alliance are synonymous with weak combat effectiveness, this belly raising ant tribe belongs to a different species from the "old heart" and their clan, and the fight is very fierce.

However, the Siberian Ant Tribe is not easy to mess with, although its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the belly ant, but it is very adaptable, good at collecting food, able to reproduce more ant mouths, and has the ability to secrete stinky liquid to block enemies.

The two tribes fought for two years, and neither could help the other, so they could only barely coexist on the same tree, one occupying the territory in the northeast and the other in the southwest.

Later, a tribe of forest ants migrated and attacked the pine tree, where the bellied ants and Siberian stink ants lived, in order to occupy this tree, which bears many pine nuts and is rich in food resources.

This forest ant tribe is stronger than the bellied ant or the Siberian stink ant tribe, and the forest ant is also strong in tree warfare, under the threat of external forces, the bellied ant and the Siberian stink ant tribe have to join forces to fight, and finally repel the enemy.

After that, the relationship between the two ant tribes was very good, and they no longer attacked each other, and even hunted and went out together to slowly develop in the direction of the tribal alliance.

This time, the fire destroyed the trees inhabited by the bellied ants and the Siberian stink ants, but fortunately, the two tribes hid in their underground winter nests, and although there were losses, there was no fear of extinction.

In the chaos after the fire, the alliance was forced to relocate, but it succeeded in ensuring that the colony's ant population was not cut too much along the way.

This time, the great operation of the various tribes besieging the [Pioneer City], the alliance army of the two tribes was dispatched, and there were about 3,000 ants, of which more than 2,000 were young and strong professional ants that could be warned, and most of the old, weak, sick and disabled had been eliminated in the arduous migration.

The strength of the alliance was about the middle of all the indigenous ants besieging [Pioneer City], but their food stocks were very tight, and they ignored the proposal of the Argentine ant tribal alliance and decided to go it alone.

This alliance of the two clans regards [Pioneer City] as the other tribes they have looted before, and if they grab it, they will earn it, and if they can't beat it, they can escape the capital.

When the Flying Knight urgently reported the enemy's dispatch, the four legions in the [Pioneer City] went out of the city to set up formations to fight.

Later, after learning that only 3 enemy forces were attacking and 2 enemy forces were still very weak, only the 9th Army Corps moved forward to meet the enemy, and the other corps rested in place to prepare for the enemy's subsequent movements.

While there have been no large-scale shipments to the south coast by the convoy recently, some key supplies, mainly artillery and ammunition, have been transported on a small scale.

On the tower of the city wall [of the Pioneer City], 24 mung bean cannons and 36 millet cannons have been arranged, and 16 millet cannons have been converted into movable ones, mounted on a sedan chair-like chassis, carried by 40 soldiers and ants in turn, operated by 10 gun crew members, and can move with the legion.

This time, the 9th Army Corps brought 4 millet guns with the army.

The two armies engaged in battle in an open field about an hour southwest of [Pioneer City].

The 9th Legion under the command of "Nai", under the guidance of the Flying Knights, arrived here ahead of schedule and chose a slightly higher mound formation.

The 4 millet cannons were unloaded and placed on the highest part of the mound, and the legion was on the mound, with the artillery position as the center, lined up like a long centipede, and 2 scythe hunter ant scouts covered the left and right of the battlefield.

The road was blocked by the march of the bellied ants and the Siberian ant, and the armies of the other two small tribes, which were still behind, were also coming along this road.

On the ground here, traces of the original fire can still be seen sporadically in the loess, gray-black grass ash has accumulated in some places, and burnt branches and grass roots abound.

In this wasteland-like wilderness, four indigenous ant tribes are gradually stepping into the land of death.

The vanguard of the allied forces of the Raised Belly Ant and the Siberian Ant Clan arrived on the battlefield, and after discovering the Divine Envoy King warriors who were waiting for the battle, they immediately returned to their own formation and did not rush to attack.

At this time, the enemy had already entered the range of artillery, and it is not known whether it was the lack of combat experience with artillery support from "Nai" and his corps, or the lack of confidence in such a strange weapon as "artillery".

The 9th Army Corps, after all, was a newly formed force and did not wait for the enemy to get close to the best range before starting to shoot.

The artillery unit with the army was also newly formed, and it had a lot of live-fire training, but it was the first time it had participated in actual combat.

The four millet cannons opened fire at the same time, but the enemy position 5 meters away did not suffer any damage at all, and the four shells fell to the ground one after another in the front position, stirring up the grass and wood ash and loess smoke and dust that had settled on the ground. This is the artillery firing angle is not adjusted right.

The allied forces of the two clans didn't realize that they were being attacked, and the dull sound of artillery was mistaken by them as a murmur, and the smoke and dust rising not far in front of them might be something falling from above?

Seeing this, "Nai" had little confidence in artillery, and there were few soldiers on the opposite side, so he directly ordered 20 squads to attack, leaving 30 squads as reserves.

The warrior of the Divine Envoy King, who charged violently, quickly carried a round of acid shots from the opposite belly raising ants and approached hand-to-hand combat. With the cover of iron armor, as long as the compound eye is not directly hit, the Divine Angel King warrior is not easily injured by the enemy's long-range attacks.

The Divine Envoy King Legion and the combined forces of the two clans strangled together, and after a few minutes, the enemy could no longer support it, and the poorly equipped and empty barbarian ants were so vulnerable to the Divine Envoy King warriors who were armed to the teeth and arrayed in front of them most of the time.

When the warriors of the Divine Angel King pursued, they ran into trouble, and after the Siberian stink ants were left behind, their conspicuous bellies with two large and two small and four yellow spots bulged one after another, smearing a large amount of extremely smelly liquid on their bodies, the ground, and nearby objects.

The stench was unbearable even for the trained Divine Envoy King warriors, and even if the Siberian Ant was trembling in front of him, he couldn't kill it.

Fortunately, the enemy just wanted to retreat, and the bellied ants themselves could not stand the stench and did not take the opportunity to launch a wave of counterattacks.

At this time, the flying knight reported that the main force of the enemy army was approaching, and "Nai" hurriedly sent an order to let the attacking troops return.

The troops who stayed behind in the mound smelled the smell of Siberian stink ant secretions wafting over from a distance, but it was not unpleasant, there was no strange smell, but it was a little fragrant!?
