After half a day of fighting and heavy rain, the leaf-cutting ant army lost nearly 30,000 soldiers, or about 8% of the total force.

And before they saw the main nest of the Red Fire Ant Country [Hive City] at this time, they had already suffered a setback, which made the commanders of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army very dissatisfied.

At this time, the Divine Envoy King's Legion informed that the Leafcutter Ant Army had already known that its main target [Hive City] had already changed hands, but their obsession made them agree to the Divine Envoy King's Legion's request to join forces and continue to advance towards [Hive City].

Historically, the Leaf Cutter Ant Army has never entered the main nest of the Red Fire Ant Country, and this time the protagonist invites their army to come over and hold a meeting there to discuss how to carve up the land of the Red Fire Ant Country, so that they finally have a chance to be ashamed.

But today's battle has made the Leafcutter Ant Army realize that the Red Fire Ant Army is still not easy to deal with.

Today, the enemy's Red Fire Ant Clan, including the slave auxiliaries, suffered only more than 10,000 losses, and the exchange ratio between the two sides was between 2:1 and 3:1.

The army of leafcutter ants was obviously very dissatisfied with the course of today's battle, they came with the aftermath of the previous two great victories, and had several times the advantage of the enemy, but they attacked for a day without success, but lost their troops.

Although the Leaf Cutting Ant Army is not good at tactics, its commanders are still very sober, knowing that the army is deep into the enemy's territory, and if they can't break through the enemy's defense line as soon as possible, they are afraid that there will be trouble in supply, and the enemy can also deploy troops to lay traps for themselves.

At this time, the Red Fire Ant Army still maintains a force of nearly 40,000 in the rear of the leaf-cutting ant army, although the scale is not large, but its whereabouts are unknown, and the threat is particularly high. The Leaf Cutting Ant Army didn't want to repeat the kind of defeat that was cut off from last year's "Battle of the Ages" and led to the near-annihilation of the entire army.

The next day, the formation of the leaf-cutting ant army changed, and it seemed that today's victory was inevitable.

Because of the terrain, the army of leafcutter ants simply gave up the frontal attack on the stone wall position, which was the result of the discussion between the leafcutter ant commanders last night.

The Leaf Cutting Ant Army still divided the troops into three lines, with more than 100,000 soldiers in each line, except for a small number of troops left in the middle, most of the soldiers were assigned to the two wings, so the formation of the two wings was even thicker than yesterday.

The biggest change in the Leaf Cutting Ant Army today is that the 30 Star Bulls have also been put into the battle line, and the Leaf Cutting Ant Army of the third line and six wings has divided the 30 Star Ox War Beasts equally.

On the other hand, on the side of the Red Fire Ant Army, the defense line is the same as yesterday, and there is no change.

Therefore, when the army of leaf-cutting ants began to charge, although the warriors of the Red Fire Ant clan on the two flanks fought desperately, and the slave auxiliaries such as the burrowing ants who were supervised by the Red Fire Ants were also high-spirited, the front of the Red Fire Ant Army experienced an unprecedented impact.

Especially after the huge and burly Star Sky Bull arrived on the battlefield, the pressure on the Red Fire Ant Army increased dramatically.

Facing the Star Sky Bull with a thick carapace and sharp mouthparts, the Red Fire Ant Army's front was easily thrown into chaos by these war beasts. After losing a fixed and tight front, the two armies and four tribes of ants on the front line fought together, and the casualties of the defenders increased greatly.

And in the melee, the Star Bull War Beast was still like a fish in water, and under the control of the driver, it was like a tank rampage.

The Red Fire Ant Commander organized an elite squad in an attempt to lay siege to a starbull that had burst forward.

The star-stellar bull went on a rampage, its mouthparts wide open and closed, and it was like an antless state in the Red Fire Ant Army, and one after another of the Red Fire Ants and Slave Ants were confused or retreated under its attack, and some leaf-cutting ant warriors poured in along these open gaps.

The defense line of this Red Fire Ant Army is crumbling because of the existence of this Star Sky Bull, and the situation is extremely critical.

After some fighting, the Red Fire Ant Warrior and the auxiliary soldiers, paying huge casualties, finally killed or forced the leaf-cutting ant warrior next to the Star Bull to retreat, and isolated the Star Bull first.

A part of the Red Fire Ant Army struggled to resist the leaf-cutting ant warriors who tried to support them, and another group of nearly 100 warriors besieged the Star Bull.

The 12 bellied ants sprayed acid at the head of the Star Bull, the carapace of the Star Bull was thick, not afraid of acid attacks, but the compound eyes and antennae on the head were fragile, and after being splashed by the acid, the powerful Star Bull also struggled in pain, and had no time to care about the other ants that surrounded him.

The Red Fire Ant Warriors and other slave auxiliaries took the opportunity to rush forward, some biting their legs; Some burrow under the belly of the star cow and bite the weak parts such as the anus and the carapace gap; More climbed onto the back of the Star Beeral, killing the Leafcutter Rider and the few Leafcutter Warriors on his back.

The Star Bull, who had lost his command, instinctively spread his wings and wanted to fly away.

The outer sheath of the Star Bull suddenly opened, shaking off several red fire ants on its back. However, the other red fire ants reacted extremely quickly, and they immediately abandoned the current attack site, and swarmed up to surround the mmenchowing root of the star beetle, and fiercely tore the wing roots and tender flesh here.

Xingtian Niu couldn't bear the pain, struggled violently and rolled, unable to take off.

The slave ambush soldiers were all thrown away in the tumbling of the Star Bull, but a few fierce red fire ants still bit the wings of the Star Bull and did not let go.

In a few clicks, the red fire ants successively bit off a pair of membranous wings of the Star Sky Beeral. This starry bull who is alone in the enemy, has no external support, has damaged membrane wings, and has no way to retreat, is doomed.

However, the fierce counterattack of the Red Fire Ant Army on the local battlefield could not reverse the current overall defeat.

The Leaf Cutting Ant Army has lost a total of 3 Star Bulls on both flanks, but there are still 7 of them still fighting, but the defense line of the Red Fire Ant Army is no longer tight, and many places are mired in melee, just like the most primitive ant war, which has become a chaotic gladiatorial battle between individuals.

Such a battle situation would be extremely unfavorable for the numerically inferior defenders.

Finally, the Red Fire Ant Army on the front line received an order to prepare to retreat.

Retreating in the midst of a melee is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, it will turn into a rout, and the Leaf Cutting Ant Army has suffered this loss in history.

However, the Red Fire Ant Army was obviously more experienced and well-organized in this regard, and they left a small number of Red Fire Ant warriors to supervise the battle, and monitored the tens of thousands of slave auxiliaries who remained in place, using their flesh and blood to buy time for the retreat of the large army.

The Red Fire Ant warriors covered each other from the front line, and quickly retreated to the rear together with the Red Fire Ants and slave auxiliaries at the rear of the battle line.

The Red Fire Ant Army still did not give up the stone wall defense line in the middle lane, but the left and right flanks had quickly rushed to the rear to set up defenses.

The retreating Red Fire Ant forces retreated in countless criss-crossed, time-to-moment lines, and they followed pheromones as if they were trying to avoid something.

If the Leaf Cutting Ant Army took off to reconnoiter at a low altitude, they would be able to see that what the retreating Red Fire Ant Army avoided was the cone-shaped pits on the ground.

This is a swarm of traps that the historical Leafcutter Ant Army once hated [Hive City]!
