The Red Fire Ant Army should win! This is the judgment of the centipede.

After all, in this summer's battle, the losses of the leaf-cutting ant army were too heavy, hundreds of thousands of elites were lost, and such a bad result could not be made up for by newly broken ants in just a few months.

Although the Leafcutter Ant Army has gathered another 300,000 troops, it is full of a large number of weak mid-leaf cutter ants. There are only a few elite large leafcutter ants and small leafcutter ants, and some of them are old, weak, young and disabled, such as old soldiers and wounded and disabled soldiers who retired from previous wars, and this time they are back into service.

In yesterday's ambush and today's encounter, the centipede discovered this weakness of the leaf-cutting ant army. If the leaf-cutting ant army is a little more elite, at least the forest ants in the middle of the ambush yesterday will basically be wiped out. Today the contingent will not be so easy to drive out enemy troops.

Such a leaf-cutting ant army with low combat effectiveness is definitely not an opponent in the face of the same number of red fire ant troops.

Now, what the Red Fire Ant Army needs to do is to capture and eat the last main force of the enemy before the first cold snap of winter arrives, and then expand the territory and plunder the spoils without any scruples, and expand until the harsh winter comes to save the Leaf Cutter Ant Country.

Heralds weave through the woods, darting along the pheromones left behind as the various units advance.

In a short time, the centipede had already received many new orders, and the orders were constantly revising the instructions, and the enemy's position was becoming more and more clear, and the current battle situation was becoming more and more clear.

Since this morning, several Red Fire Ant Armies searching due west have encountered the Leaf Cutter Ant Army.

The main force of the leafcutter ant army is still nowhere to be found, and a small number of scattered leafcutter ant troops have set up ambush positions in some key locations in an attempt to delay the advance of the red fire ant army.

At the same time, some of the scouts also noticed that a number of scattered troops of the leafcutter ant army were rushing from the trees in the same direction.

The elders of the Red Fire Ant Army pondered it based on the overall information, and felt that the Leaf Cutting Ant Army was moving in.

Although when the ants fight, as long as the commander does not die or retreat, they can generally fight tenaciously to the last soldier, but this is only the heroism of individual soldiers. In terms of grand strategy, the Red Fire Ant Army is very familiar with the transfer of this hand, and the same is true for the Leaf Cutting Ant Army.

Now it is clear that the Leafcutter Ant Army will not be able to defeat it if they concentrate their forces for a decisive battle, and it is understandable that they will leave part of their troops behind and then move to the rear to preserve their forces.

It was based on this judgment that the Red Fire Ant Army ordered its scattered troops to speed up their attack to the west, trying to catch up with the Leaf Cutting Ant Army.

At this time, the two clusters in the distance of the detour are still a little far away from here, and even if they receive the order of the herald at the first time, it will take more than half a day.

This period of time is the most dispersed time for the Red Fire Ant Army, and if the Leaf Cutting Ant Army just lays a trap and suddenly counterattacks, it is possible to deal a major blow to the cluster in the Red Fire Ant Army.

But with the current strength of the Leaf Cutter Ant Army, they didn't have time to eat the middle cluster before enemy reinforcements arrived.

This time, the Leafcutter Ant Army is really retreating to the rear, and they are smart enough to decide not to fight hard, but to preserve their strength. By the beginning of spring next year, a new army will be formed, and the woods will still be their own.

After receiving the order to pursue, the Centipede task force was also surrounded by friendly troops at this time, and the front and flanks were covered. As a result, the Centipede Task Force also began to pick up speed, maneuvering rapidly in a southwesterly direction.

On the way, they came across several battlefields that had just ended skirmishes, and the ground was littered with the corpses of leaf-cutting ants, while the corpses of red fire ants and auxiliary ants were very few.

These defeated leaf-cutting ant army, about two or three thousand each, surrounded a beaded tree, but they could not stop the attack of the fierce red fire ant army.

However, these lonely strongholds have already completed the delayed task with sacrifice.

When the first Red Fire Ant Army arrived at a stream, they found that they had no way of reaching the leafcutter army on the opposite bank.

This stream, which is not far from the west side of [Red Iron Castle], flows from north to south, dividing the forest area where leafcutter ants are entrenched in two. Among them, the western region accounts for eighty percent of the area and is the core hinterland of the leaf-cutting ant country, while the eastern region only accounts for two percent of the area.

In the Hundred Years War between the Red Fire Ant Kingdom and the Leaf Cutter Ant Country, the Red Fire Ant Army's best record was to conquer all the territories on the east bank of the stream, but failed to cross the river. The best result of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army was to reach [Hive City], but they were finally defeated.

This time, the Red Fire Ant Army once again forced the Leaf Cutting Ant Army to retreat to the west bank, and the nest of the Leaf Cutting Ant Country, which had not yet fallen, was already in the bag.

But the elders of the Red Fire Ant Army were obviously dissatisfied with the insects flying again, they thought that they could annihilate another 300,000 leaf-cutting ants and create a record of eliminating one million leaf-cutting ants within a year this year, which can be included in the history of the Red Fire Ant Country.

The leafcutter ants crossed the river from trees on both sides of the stream, and the branches and leaves of some different trees were intertwined and tied with ant silk; Or there are rope bridges to connect branches that are close to each other.

These tree-lined roads allowed the 300,000 leaf-cutter ant army to quickly withdraw to the west bank within two days after learning of the enemy's offensive. Moreover, the Leafcutter Ant Army destroyed all the roads connecting the two sides of the river.

The reluctant Red Fire Ant Army searched for a path along the stream, which was already the narrowest section, and if there was no road to cross the river, it would be more difficult to cross the river upstream and downstream.

The vassal troops of the Red Fire Ant Army eliminated a small number of leaf-cutting ant troops on the tree who were responsible for destroying the bridge and road on this side, and found that the road had been completely destroyed, and these leaf-cutting ants themselves could not cross the river, and they were ready to sacrifice.

The Red Fire Ant Army tried to build a pontoon bridge in the stream with some dead branches and leaves, but the water was so strong that the building materials were washed away as soon as they were thrown into the water.

When the Centipede task force arrives at the riverbank, the Red Fire Ant Army finally comes to terms with the fact that the beaked bugs have actually flown away...

Historically, the Leafcutter Ant Army has not suffered such a fiasco as this year, and every time, this north-south rushing "Turbulent Stream" has provided the last refuge for the Leafcutter Ant Country.

The Red Fire Ant Army then began to divide their forces, and after realizing that there was no possibility of crossing the river, they targeted the unconquered leaf-cutting ant nation on the east bank of the river.

Most of these secondary nests have migrated to the West Bank, but there are also ants and supplies that have not had time to be moved, and these are the targets of the Red Fire Ant Army.

This kind of thing that is not difficult and can eat meat, the Red Fire Ant Army did it themselves, and they let the vassal auxiliaries be stationed by the Turbulent Creek to prevent the Leaf Cutting Ant Army from crossing the river and sneaking attack.

And the Red Fire Ant Army, with their slaves, began to sweep around for the booty.
