When the Leafcutter Ant Army was pouring in large numbers to the south, the various forces of the Divine Envoy King's Legion had already dispersed, and it was not so easy to gather them.

After using the tank forces to break through the enemy forces in front of them, the Divine Messenger King's legion on the front and the troops on the flanks had already routed most of the enemy, and at the same time scattered to surround and encircle the three groups of enemies that were encircling and annihilating.

Among them, the 3rd Army Corps, the 18th Army Corps, and the 19th Army Corps were about 10 meters away to the north, encircling and annihilating an enemy force of seven or eight thousand.

The 5th Army, the 11th Army, the 12th Army, the 15th Army, and the 20th Army Corps annihilated another larger enemy force eight or nine meters to the northeast.

The 6th, 10th, and 23rd Legions also participated in the siege to the west.

At that time, the protagonist only had the reserves of the 1st Legion, the 7th Legion, the 13th Legion, the 14th Legion, and the 26th Legion.

The protagonist sends a herald, intending to order the armies to abandon the battle and move closer to the main formation, but the herald is in the chaotic battlefield, full of dizzy leaf-cutting ant routs and sporadic paving ant stragglers, the protagonist can only send more messengers, and at the same time send troops to escort in order to ensure that each legion receives orders

Even if the order is conveyed in time, the protagonist knows that it will be difficult for the warring legions to disengage for a while. Those besieged paving ant empire army are all trapped beasts, killing red eyes, some of the besieged enemy troops are even more than the besiegers, when the god makes the king's army suddenly withdraw from the encirclement, the enemy is likely to take the opportunity to counterattack.

The protagonist also orders all the legions in the reserve, except for the 1st legion, to go forward and establish a defensive line in the north, while covering the assembly of the legions behind them, and at the same time driving the leafcutter ants to break the army and not disrupt their own formation.

At the same time, the artillery units were also disassembled and loaded, preparing for the retreat in advance.

Finally, half an hour later, the Divine Envoy King's army was finally assembled, and it also forced back the chasing Paving Ant Imperial Army. The Paving Ant Imperial Army probably thought that the leaf-cutting ant army scattered all over the mountains was a better target to pursue, so they let go of the Divine Envoy King Army.

The Divine Messenger King's legion was ready to evacuate, and the whole army began to retreat to the south.

At this time, this area is full of scattered and disorganized leafcutter ants, and the defeated paving ants and vassal ant tribes in the area have all run back, united with the pursuers from the north, and carried out one massacre after another.

The Divine Emissary Legion had no time to rescue all of these friendly forces, so they had to retreat all the way to help contain the approaching leafcutter warriors, and those who did not come to seek refuge could only ask for more blessings for themselves.

At this moment, a leaf-cutting ant messenger suddenly arrives to find the protagonist.

The messenger conveyed the meaning of the commander of the leaf-cutting ant unit behind the Divine Envoy King's army, which was the leaf-cutting ant army that the Divine Envoy King's army had previously contained, and they reorganized and elected a commander, regaining their combat effectiveness, and now have about 10,000 troops.

The Leafcutter Commander said that they could no longer follow the Legion of the Divine Messenger King, that their warriors were being slaughtered, and that the (female) sisters (male) brothers were also in danger, and that they had to stay and save more of their compatriots.

The protagonist replies to the messenger that they can take care of themselves.

These leaf-cutting ants are willing to stay, this courage makes him admire, staying is definitely the end of nine deaths, in the defeated army, the troops that can still maintain the formation will definitely be attacked by the enemy.

The Leaf Cutting Ant Army is not subordinate to the Divine Envoy King Legion, the Divine Envoy King Legion only had a certain favor to the other party when they contained the rout army before, and the other party's commander was willing to report before leaving, which was already very polite, and the Divine Envoy King Legion had no reason to force the other party to stay.

Moreover, the willingness of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army to stay is equivalent to the fact that the allies will break off the Divine Envoy King's legion, which will help the Divine Envoy King's legion withdraw.

The battle failed, and the Divine Envoy King's legion must preserve its strength in order to have a chance to take revenge in the next battle, and having a teammate queen is the best from the protagonist's heart.

Towards evening, the Divine Messenger King's legion withdrew to its campsite.

Along the way, perhaps thanks to the broken leaf-cutting ant army, the Divine Envoy King's legion did not encounter large-scale enemy troops, but only dispersed some small enemy troops who wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot.

At this time, the flying knights could finally take advantage of the dim sky and the reduced frequency of the enemy's "mosquito" troops to take off to conduct aerial reconnaissance on the battlefield.

The results of the reconnaissance were not optimistic, and the flying knights quickly swept by, and saw the corpses of leaf-cutting ants all over the ground, large and large, spreading from the center of the battlefield to the north, south, and west.

There are almost no formed leaf-cutting ant armies on the ground, and the leaf-cutting ants are either sporadic or have withdrawn to their nests, and the outdoor area is full of paving ant imperial troops.

These paving ant imperial armies are dividing their forces to besiege the defensive positions of the leafcutter ants, and it seems that there are still quite a few routed troops who have returned to these nest fortresses and are organizing resistance, after all, the battlefield is relatively close to these nests, which is conducive to the retreat of the leafcutter ant army.

The Flying Knights had not found any trace of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army that had left the Divine Envoy Legion to stop them, and perhaps they had all become part of the countless corpses, but their heroic actions had an effect.

In a tree nest not far from the camp of the Divine Envoy King's legion, hundreds or thousands of sporadic leaf-cutting ant troops were arriving in the dark, all of them had successfully survived the pursuit of the enemy army, and they had basically lost their commanders, and they were able to escape under the cover of the broken rear troops.

It's just that there is a high probability that they will have one more day to survive...

The Flying Knight reported urgently, more than 100,000 Paving Ant Imperial Army and vassal troops were stationed about fifty meters to the north, and they were building an overnight camp, depending on their intentions, they would sweep the coalition camp in the south early tomorrow morning.

The protagonist orders the baggage troops to pack up their luggage and materials overnight and start evacuating, and sends 3 legions with less consumption during the day to escort them. He led the rest of the legions to break off and prepared to set out before dawn the next day.

The camp of the Divine Envoy King Legion is the southernmost side of the entire central defensive position, and the enemy must first cross the other nests that are still in the hands of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army to reach here, and the Divine Envoy King's Legion still has a chance to retreat.

The protagonist decides to retreat to his own territory, and stay in the border area for a while, if the main enemy army goes west to attack the Leaf Cutting Ant Country, the Divine Envoy King Legion will launch an offensive from the flank, harassing the communication line of the Paving Ant Imperial Army to reduce the pressure on the allies, which is the only thing the Divine Envoy King Legion can do.

If the enemy moves south to attack the Ant Alliance, the Divine Messenger King's legion will retreat to [Hive City] and resolutely resist there.

Today, the initiative on the battlefield is completely off the side of the coalition forces, and the situation in this war is extremely difficult!
