Chapter 132: Centipede Task Force (2)

The centipede task force searched and advanced for a while, and suddenly a forest ant messenger hurriedly came to report that he had found traces of enemy troops, and then continued to run to the rear to report to the large army.

After receiving the report, the Centipede task force continued to move forward unhurriedly, and did not rush to help immediately, even ignoring the anger in the eyes of the Red Fire Ant Supervisor on the side.

But soon, the centipede was glad to obey the instructions of the Divine Envoy King before the battle, and rushed over without being hot-headed, because there was another urgent report from the front - the forest ant army had been ambushed and was in a bitter battle.

Previously, the forest ants were moving in scattered search formations, searching in the same way on the trees and on the ground.

Forest ants were originally better at fighting in trees, and used to march in the trees with red fire ants on the ground.

But this time they took on a dangerous forward mission because they could no longer replenish them, and under the command of the Red Fire Ant Commander who had been sent, the forest ants mostly operated on the ground, and only a small part searched the trees.

Compared to the ground, the three-dimensional world in the trees needs to be searched in a larger area, but only a few forest ants perform the task. Therefore, as the ranks of forest ants on the ground gradually advanced, the forest ants on the trees slowly lagged behind and were pulled farther and farther away, and the troops above and below the trees were disjointed.

On the ground, the Red Fire Ant Commander who is not familiar with the fighting methods of the forest ants did not find this hidden danger, if the forest ants still had their own vassal states before, then there would be some experienced forest ant males to assist the airborne Red Fire Ant Commander to help him solve the problem and make up for the loopholes.

But after the last battle, the forest ants were wiped out, and most of the experienced commanders who participated in the war also died on the battlefield with the troops, and the current forest ant army is not even short of male ants to serve as squad commanders, let alone appoint staff officers to assist the red fire ant male ants.

The Red Fire Ant Commander could only command with self-righteousness, deploying his troops in the manner of the Red Fire Ant Army, unaware that he was stepping into a trap.

When the forest ants discovered a line of defense arranged by the forest ants in front of them, they immediately gathered their scattered troops, sent messengers back, and then took the initiative to attack from the ground in the manner that the red fire ant warriors were good at.

At this time, the commander of the red fire ants did not know how many leaf-cutting ant troops there were on the opposite side, and from the length of the battle line found by the scouts, it seemed that it was not too much, and with the algorithm of the red fire ants, there were about 6 to 5 times the number of enemies, that is, about 8,000 enemy troops.

If the enemy has this little strength, the vanguard troops will dare to go up and entangle the enemy, and wait for the large rear troops to come up to support and then eat this enemy force. This is the usual style of play of the Red Fire Ant Army.

On the opposite side, the Leafcutter Ant Army had been holding the ground position between several trees, with no intention of transferring, and seemed to be ordered to block it.

When the forest ant army basically assembled to attack, and became entangled with the leafcutter ants on the ground, the mutation abruptly occurred.

Suddenly, countless leaf-cutting ants fell from the sky, and they were all powerful and powerful large leaf-cutting ants and agile and fierce small leaf-cutting ants.

These leaf-cutter ants were lying in ambush at the branches of trees overhead, and when they jumped down, they immediately divided and surrounded more than 2,000 leaf-cutter ant warriors. The battle on the ground turned into a scuffle, and the number of forest ants was too small, and they immediately fell into a disadvantage.

At this time, the Red Fire Ant Commander realized that the covering force in the tree had not kept up with the large force and had not been able to detect the ambush in advance.

Fortunately, there were about a thousand Red Fire Ant Warriors who acted as a warlord not far behind, and they stabilized the rear of the forest ant troops in time, covering some messengers to warn the rear, and then joined the battle group to temporarily stabilize the battle situation, so that the forest ant troops would not collapse.

The Centipede Task Force arrived at the battlefield unhurriedly, but fortunately they walked slowly, and if they had gone forward, they would have been ambushed!

Coupled with the ambush troops, at this time, there were tens of thousands of leaf-cutting ant troops on the opposite side, and they had a huge numerical advantage in the face of two or three thousand forest ants and red fire ants, but when the five thousand divine envoy king warriors of the two legions arrived, the numerical advantage of the leaf-cutting ant army was not obvious.

As friendly forces were mixed together, the Centipede task force did not cover the enemy first with long-range fire, but directly lined up in a tight horizontal formation, advancing forward with a thick density of ten platoons.

The leaf-cutting ant warriors in the melee also lost their formation, and in the face of the dense formation of the Divine Envoy King warriors who were really armed to the teeth, the leaf-cutting ant warriors alone were completely invincible, and even the large leaf-cutting ants could not shake the military formation.

Some leaf-cutter squads, led by the Commander, climbed nearby trees and repeated their tactics in an attempt to "parachute" to the rear of the Centipede task force. However, the army formation of ten platoons was very thick, and the centipede and other commanders also had guards around them, and a small number of enemy airborne troops could not make a breakthrough like they had just dealt with the forest ants.

With the support of the task force, the Red Fire Ant Army finally began to turn the tide of battle, and as more and more troops arrived to join the battle, the Leaf Cutter Army was surrounded on the ground.

These leaf-cutting ants began to hold around a tree, constantly shrinking the defensive line, transferring their forces to the trees, preparing to change the battlefield to the trees, and also to break through and retreat.

But soon after, a large number of bellied ants and black brown ants of the Red Fire Ant Army also arrived and began to block every road in the trees. In the case of numerical superiority, the belly-raising ant and black brown ant army finally did not collapse at the touch of a button, and made great achievements for the complete annihilation of this leaf-cutting ant army.

The Red Fire Ant Army won a small victory, and the Centipede Task Force also made the Red Fire Ant Army change their attitude with their excellent performance in the battle.

Unlike other optimistic red fire ant males, the centipede who had received a complete military education from the Divine Envoy King Legion wondered where the enemy's main force was.

Although the scale of the battle just now was not large, the movement was not small, and there was no reason why the main force of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army would not know that there was a battle here.

However, the main force of the leaf-cutting ant army never appeared.

The Centipede asked a messenger to go to the commander of the cluster in the Red Fire Ant Army with his own questions, but before he could reply, he received an order to continue the march.

The Red Fire Ant Army also seems to have discovered the problem of the whereabouts of the main force of the Leaf Cirking Ant Army, and this time they scattered a large number of slave auxiliaries and the troops of the vassal states into a semicircle and searched in different directions.

The search direction of the Centipede task force is northwest.

If you continue to go deeper into the woods in this direction, you will be far away from [Red Iron City] in the southwest direction, but the centipede has no ability to oppose and is forced to set off with its troops.

Immediately after the war, the task force received a small amount of food from the rear burrowing ants, which were grass seeds and nut grains that were common in autumn.

Accustomed to cooked food, the centipede barely ate a bite of the chestnut grains and began to miss the barbecue and cooking delicacies of their country.

After a battle, some of the ordinary soldiers were already hungry, but they took the opportunity to eat enough, anyway, they did not have cooked food and meat in the country, and such food was not bad.

The well-fed centipede task force began to search and advance in a northwesterly direction.
