Chapter 184: The Final Chapter of the Battle
On May 21, near dusk, the Divine Envoy King's army joined the battlefield, and the battle turned into a great battle between three forces, four armies, and seven ant clans.
At the same time, it is also a battle in which the participating parties have their own ghosts.
The Leaf Cutter Army wants to capture [Slippery Rock City] and open the way to [Hive City]; The Red Fire Ant Army will defend their homeland to the death; And the Divine Envoy King Legion also has its own abacus.
After conquering [Hive City] and making contact with the Leaf Cutting Ant Army, the Divine Envoy King Legion left [Hive City] on May 17 and headed west.
Their initial idea was to use the power of the Leaf Cutter Ant Army to completely defeat the Red Fire Ant Country, otherwise it would be impossible to face the Red Fire Ant Army's desperate counterattack to recover the main nest with the military strength of the Divine Envoy King Legion alone.
However, after learning that its main target [Hive City] had changed hands, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army did not wait for the arrival of friendly troops before launching a general attack, as suggested by the Divine Envoy King's army, but hurriedly launched a decisive battle, which surprised the protagonist.
In the communication between the Divine Envoy King Legion and the Leaf-Cutting Ant Army, although the two sides only reached a cooperation intention, there were no mandatory terms, and even the Leaf-Cutting Ant Army of [Hive City] did not agree to the protagonist's request after the war, which obviously had other intentions.
However, after the protagonist's evaluation, he feels that the Leaf Cutting Ant Army is not very sure of the decisive battle in the territory of the Red Fire Ant Country with its current military strength, and they also need the assistance of the Divine Envoy King Legion, so as long as the Divine Envoy King Legion performs better on the battlefield, it has the bargaining power and can realize its strategic plan as much as possible.
But he didn't expect that the leaf-cutting ants were not completely monolithic in China, there were also conservatives and radicals, and the conservatives had a good impression of the Divine Envoy King Legion, and strongly advocated absorbing the Divine Envoy King Legion to join the Ancient God Inheritance Conference.
However, the radicals are angry about the fact that the Divine Envoy King Legion had "lied" before, and they are not very friendly to the Divine Envoy King Legion. The command of this leaf-cutting ant expeditionary force is dominated by radicals.
The protagonist is also surprised when he learns on May 19 that the Leafcutter Ant Army has launched a campaign in [Slippery Rock City].
At this time, the Divine Envoy King's army was still a day's and a half away from the battlefield, so they had to speed up and rush towards [Slippery Rock City].
On the way, the Divine Envoy King Legion also encountered heavy rain, but fortunately, there were not many troops on the expedition, although the thunderstorm came quickly and unexpectedly, the Divine Envoy King Legion still found a suitable size shelter in time, and the loss was not large.
On the 20th, the Divine Messenger King's legion arrived near the battlefield in the afternoon, hid itself, and did not immediately join the battle.
At that time, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army and the Red Fire Ant Army were in a stalemate, the reserves of the Red Fire Ant Army had not yet entered the battle, and the Leaf Cutting Ant Army also had reserve troops that had not participated in the battle, and neither side was defeated, and the protagonist decided to hold the troops first, but just sent flying knights to constantly reconnoitre.
In fact, the protagonist also has resentment in his heart, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army did not jointly launch a military operation as intended, and the information package sent back through the Flying Knight was also full of rebellious emotions, and there was even an attempt to covet the belonging of [Hive City].
Although he is also a civilized ant clan, the protagonist has a good impression of the leafcutter ant clan, but he must put the interests of the Divine Envoy King Legion first.
With mixed feelings, the protagonist decides to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight for the time being, preferably to weaken the forces of both sides at the same time, so that the army can gain the most advantageous position after the battle, so the army must only join the battlefield at the most critical moment.
So on the 21st, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army found that the flying knight who had been hovering in the air before had disappeared, which was the flying knight rushing back to report the latest situation on the battlefield, and it was also the precursor to the Divine Envoy King's legion entering the battlefield.
————
Just as the arrival of the Red Fire Ant reinforcements broke the stalemate on the left side of the battlefield and defeated the left flank of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army.
The arrival of the Divine Envoy King Legion also broke the stalemate on the battlefield on the right and defeated the left flank of the Red Fire Ant Army.
Subsequently, the Divine Envoy King Legion united with the right wing of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army to pursue the Red Fire Ant Army and kill the middle lane.
At the same time, the Divine Envoy King Legion sent ten squads to form a special team, and under the guidance of the flying knights, they directly attacked the main formation of the Red Fire Ant Army.
When the Red Fire Ant Army kills from the left to the center, they ignore the Leaf Cutting Ant Army's main formation and the rout of the main formation, they like to outflank the enemy's living forces, and have little interest in ending the enemy's command system.
But the Legion of the Divine Envoy has always liked this tactic of capturing thieves and capturing kings.
The Red Fire Ant Army's main formation was also empty, and when they learned that the enemy was coming, they could only gather more than 200 ants, most of which were slave auxiliaries, and handed them over to 2 male ant commanders with less seniority to lead them to block the attack, but where could they resist the special forces of the Divine Envoy King Legion who were really armed to the teeth.
The other male ants saw that the situation was not good, and they were about to move with the slave ants who served around them.
Although the Red Fire Ant is hard-working and an excellent soldier, the male ant class is also very "corrupt and degenerate", and most male ants have at least two or three slave ants around them when they go to war.
Some veteran male ants, the march on the road has to be carried by a few slave ants, and their physical strength has long been degraded, and they want to flee for their lives at this time, but they can't escape quickly, so they can only hurriedly summon nearby troops to come to reinforcements.
Many of the Red Fire Ant troops who were fighting on the front line did not even know that their own formation had been forced to move, and when they needed new orders to send messengers to their main formation, they pounced.
Under the threat of the Einjour's Legion's special forces, the Red Fire Ant Army's chain of command failed.
Even so, the front-line Red Fire Ant Army is still very tenacious.
The Divine Envoy King's army and the re-stabilized Leafcutter Ant Army fought hard until two or three hours after dark, and finally won the victory, which was not a decisive victory.
Most of the 180,000 troops of the Red Fire Ant Army were lost, a small number of the remaining troops retreated to the cage city of [Talc City] to defend it, and another force of about 50,000 ants—mainly reinforcements who arrived today—escorted the headquarters that had been transferred to the left and retreated to the north.
After the battle, there were only about 150,000 left of the 360,000 army of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army, and after collecting the various armies, they did not pursue the Red Fire Ant Army that fled north, but surrounded [Talc City] overnight.
The battle losses of the Divine Envoy King's army were as high as 2,000, and the Einsatzgruppen encountered desperate interception by the Red Fire Ant Army all the way, and suffered heavy losses and was forced to abandon the pursuit.
This time, the battle of [Talcum City], which lasted for three days from May 19, finally came to an end.
Although the remnants of the Red Fire Ant Army have withdrawn, they have lost their main nest, and they have lost heavy losses in the main force, and they are no longer able to return to the sky.
The next day, the Leaf Cutting Ant Army conquered [Talc City] and slaughtered the city with a bad breath.
The Divine Envoy King's legion chose to camp alone outside the city and began negotiations with the Leaf Chopper Clan on post-war issues!
