Seeing the Red Fire Ant Army retreating step by step, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army was even more excited, and under the supervision of the commander, they intensified their attacks.

It was close to noon, and the midsummer afternoon sun was so hot that most insects were reluctant to stay in the direct sun for fear of rising too much or losing their precious water.

On the battlefield outside [Talc City], there is no green shade, and the white sun shines on the soil and rocks on the ground, and the ground is steaming hot, distorting the scenery behind it.

At such a hot time and place, the ant warriors of the two armies and four clans who were fighting fiercely no longer bothered to think about this. On the battlefield, death is often a matter of moments, followed by the dangers of heat and dehydration.

After a fierce battle under the scorching sun, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army finally killed all the enemy slave auxiliaries who were forcibly left behind the palace, and even the thousands of red fire ant warriors who supervised the battle did not withdraw, and all of them were killed.

Now, the two wings of the middle lane of the Red Fire Ant Army seem to have been completely exposed to the blade of the leaf-cutting ant troops, and the main forces of the original two wings of the troops have withdrawn to a farther away position, so that the Chinese army on the middle road rock wall is completely isolated and attacked on three sides.

Naturally, the Leafcutter Ant Army chose to attack from both flanks to the middle, and first defeated the enemy forces in the salient.

If the Leaf Cutting Ant Army had sent the Star Sky Bull to reconnoiter from the air in advance, maybe they would have been more cautious.

The Leaf Cutter Ant Army only conducted some aerial reconnaissance before the army arrived on the battlefield, and found nothing unusual. After the arrival of the army, it relied on ground reconnaissance, and the precious Star Bull did not take off again.

In the past two days, the flying knights of the Divine Envoy King Legion have only watched from afar, because the Red Fire Ant Army often organizes more than a dozen groups of belly-raising ants to ambush on the trees and stones near [Talc City], ambushing the approaching flying knights at any time.

Such an air defense threat forced the Flying Knight to be cautious, and also made the Leaf Cutting Ant Army, who cherished the Star Sky Bull very much, give up aerial reconnaissance.

It was precisely because of the negligence in the investigation that the Leaf Cutting Ant Army did not know that the defenders actually had Pingyi.

————

The Star Bull charged ahead, and countless leaf-cutting ant warriors followed, rushing like a torrent towards the middle of the isolated Red Fire Ant Army.

And in front of them, there are hundreds of antlion traps.

The ants generally have poor eyesight, the pits are the same color as the surrounding soil, and there are some dead branches and leaves dotted around the traps for cover, and the leafcutter ants realize what they are facing very late.

When the first two Star Bulls had already rushed to a very close place to the trap group, the male ants on its back were condescending, and they realized that something was wrong in front of them.

He hurriedly informed the herald, who went to tell the rider again, wanting the rider to control the holy beast to stop, but where could he come and go.

The Star Bull was the first to crash into the trap, and the ordinary leafcutter ant warriors on the ground were unaware that they were walking into the trap, let alone the troops behind them whose vision was blocked.

Even if a shrewd leafcutter ant notices something strange and stops, it will be pushed and pushed forward by the surging nest behind it.

The army of leaf-cutting ants rushed into the traps of hundreds of antlions in a daze.

It's not the Star Bull that is the first to get into trouble, the tall Star Bull itself doesn't care about these antlion traps, even if they step on the head of the antlion in the trap, these antlions are hungry, and they have no interest in attacking the Star Bull who is destined to be defeated.

After these Star Bulls stopped, some of them wandered in place, and some continued to move forward.

However, the common leafcutter ant suffered heavy losses in the trap group and could no longer continue to follow the star beetle.

These antlion traps were all moved by the Red Fire Ant Army in the past two days, and they were originally arranged near the left side of the [Talc City] nest.

[Talc City] is a defensive point in the territory, since the last time the main nest [Hive City] was threatened by the leaf-cutting ant army, the protector insect antlion has begun to be arranged here, and there are quite a few of them, second only to the main nest.

This time, in order to make up for the lack of strength of the defenders, the Red Fire Ant Army moved the antlion trap forward and laid it behind the first line of defense, guarding the nest and the middle lane.

There are pheromone guides on the ground of the trap colony that only the Red Fire Ant and the four slave ants can distinguish, so that the defenders do not have to worry about entering it.

These traps have worked immensely.

The antlions in the trap have been hungry for two or three days, and in the face of the first batch of leaf-cutting ants that have rolled down the trap, these antlions have shown a strong killing instinct, and can bite an ant to death in one or two bites, and then drag it into the ground without taking care of eating, and then burrow out to attack other ants.

There are a large number of leaf-cutting ant warriors, and it is said that there are only a few hundred traps, and if you rush into the cone pit, you will definitely be able to kill the antlion inside.

Even if the antlion is not killed, the numerous leafcutter ants can fill these traps by their numbers alone, allowing the allies behind to step over and continue the attack.

But antlions are inherently intimidated by ants, except for the red fire ants, which can face the antlion directly, and can even control and carry it to a designated location, other ants are trembling in the face of the antlion.

At the beginning, the Divine Envoy King Legion was no exception, and they also used blasting, burning or filling pits to kill or force out the antlions, and then sent elite troops to strangle them, so that they were not suppressed by these fierce insects.

As ants, leafcutter ants are genetically imprinted with a fear of natural predators such as antlions, just as humans are naturally afraid of poisonous snakes and tigers.

The leafcutter ants that fell into the trap had no intention of resisting, and only wanted to escape from the smooth pit wall that they could not climb at all.

The leafcutter ant warriors who did not fall also looked at each other, trying to avoid the trap, not daring to continue forward.

The ants behind continued to squeeze forward, and the entire front was in chaos.

The traps alone are not scary, at most kill some leafcutter ants, delay the attack of the leafcutter ant army, and wait until the commander of the leafcutter ants reacts, there is always a way to eliminate, skip or bypass these traps.

However, the Red Fire Ant Army chose this time to fight back.

This was something they had planned for a long time, and it was with this trap tactic that they defeated the leafcutter expeditionary force outside the main hive [Hive City] in one fell swoop.

This time, they did it again.

And their opponents, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army, had actually thought about how to deal with the Antlion trap, but they didn't expect to suddenly run into so many traps here.

The relevant preparations of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army were all intended to be used in [Hive City], and after the [Hive City] had fallen, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army did not expect that there would be traps in the [Talc City] that they easily occupied last time, and they were not prepared to encounter traps at all.

The Red Fire Ant Army launched a counterattack from both the left and right flanks and the middle lane.

The Star Bulls, who had already passed through the trap but lost their infantry companions, became the first victims!
