The appearance of the battle record of the big HB shore is not conducive to the transformation of the expeditionary force of the big head ant kingdom, which is expected by the protagonist.

At the beginning of spring this year, the protagonist led the army to use the suspended rope bridge to raid and occupy the "Waterfront City" according to the plan made before the winter of last year.

At this point, the big-headed ant kingdom has captured the first stronghold on the big HB bank, and it has also opened the prelude to the northern expedition of the big-headed ant kingdom army.

After that, the protagonist led the Divine Envoy King's army to defeat the first encirclement and suppression of the troops commanded by the Floating Leaf King sent by the Paving Ant Kingdom, and took advantage of the situation to capture the later "Northern Expeditionary Army Camp" and seize an advance base for the Northern Expeditionary Army.

After the Council of Kings decided to officially send troops, the entire kingdom of the Big-headed Ant fell into a military frenzy that was about to defeat the thousand-year-old enemy.

From the great river region in the north, to the hilly areas in the south, from the borders near lake shores, swamps and forests in the east, to the gradually rising mountains in the west, hundreds of secondary nests of the entire kingdom of the big-headed ant have been mobilized.

Elite soldiers from all over the country gathered in the main nest, and the little military rations saved by each side nest province were also transported to the main nest for concentration.

For this northern expedition, the king of the main nest of the big-headed ant kingdom decided to send a full hundred legions, a full 150,000 warriors.

This military force has almost exhausted the mobile forces of the entire kingdom. With the exception of some of the sub-nests in the border areas that had to deal with the indigenous enemy, they also retained their defensive forces, and the sub-nests in the hinterland were left with only the old and weak. Even the main nest can't piece together another mobile unit.

Such a large-scale army needs to be commanded by a hundred kings, and the kings with strong military command ability almost poured out of the nest in the entire kings' meeting.

The army crossed the river from the suspended rope bridge of the "Waterfront City" according to the plan, and it took a whole day and one night for all troops to cross the river.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the Divine Envoy King's legion, the Northern Expeditionary Army crossed the "bridgehead" and arrived at the "Northern Expeditionary Army Camp".

The next day, the Northern Expeditionary Army was divided into three corps and acted separately: forty corps led by King Public Security and General King B formed the Southern Corps; General King C and General King D led forty legions to form the Northern Corps; General A led 20 corps as a mobile corps, staying behind in the "Northern Expeditionary Army Camp", doing a good job of logistics and transportation, and taking over the defense of the lair conquered by the two corps.

The Southern Corps has conquered nine nests, including "Target A", "Target C", "Target D", and "Target F", while the Northern Corps has conquered five nests, including "Target B" and "Target E".

Each day, both armies will use the newly captured nest as a base to continue their raids on other targets, planning to raid as many territories as possible before the Paving Ant Barbarians can react.

Before the protagonist withdraws the army of the god envoy king from the battlefield of the big HB shore, the northern expeditionary army of the big-headed ant kingdom is overwhelming and invincible.

However, the premise of these victories was that the main force of the paving ant barbarians was not deployed near the big HB bank, and the big-headed ant kingdom took advantage of the raid.

And the protagonist is also aware of several hidden dangers in the Northern Expeditionary Army:

First, the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army is still far inferior to the Paving Ant Barbarian Army.

Although the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom devalues the Paving Ant Kingdom as a barbarian, after a long period of contact, the protagonist knows that the Paving Ants also have excellent civilization and strict discipline, and their strength is even much stronger than that of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom on the Big HN Bank.

Compared with the Paving Ant Kingdom, the Big-headed Ant Kingdom is just an upstart that has just risen for hundreds of years, while the Paving Ant Kingdom is an old power that has dominated for thousands of years.

In fact, the Flying Knights of the Divine Envoy Legion soon began to send back information about the hinterland of the Paving Ant Barbarians, and they observed that the enemy nests in the vicinity of the Occupied Territory had begun to shrink their forces and strengthen their defenses.

This shows that the paving ant kingdom has recovered from the state of being stunned at the beginning and has begun to strengthen its defenses. It also means that the army of paving ants should soon mobilize their forces to seriously deal with the threat from the south.

The second is the discord in the leadership of the Northern Expeditionary Army, especially with the Divine Envoy King Legion.

Although there were 100 kings in the Northern Expeditionary Army, it was the five generals who actually played a decision-making role: the public security king, the general A king, the general B king, the general C king, and the general D king.

The Northern Corps led by the latter two were not friendly to the Divine Envoy King's legions, and did not listen to the protagonist's advice, causing the protagonist to withdraw the guide from the Northern Corps early, and also causing the Northern Corps to make progress far behind the Southern Corps due to their unfamiliarity with geography.

For example, after obtaining information on the movements of the Paving Ant Army, the protagonist shares the information with the kings of the Northern Expeditionary Army, reminding them to pay attention. However, the attention caused by this information was limited, and most of the kings, especially the kings of the Northern Corps, had been stunned by the triumphant victory, and in their eyes, the paving ant barbarians were already vulnerable.

The protagonist can only solemnly remind the public security king and the good king who are good friends with him to pay attention, and he can't help other kings.

Third, the biggest weakness of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom is the lack of military rations.

There are 150,000 troops, and the food consumed by such a large-scale army is also astronomical.

Although the protagonist provided a batch of rations for the Northern Expeditionary Army after crossing the river (the military rations of the Paving Ant Army captured during the first anti-encirclement campaign), this group of troops also carried a batch of food when they marched from the main nest to the "Northern Expeditionary Army Camp".

However, the food provided by the protagonist was only enough for the Big-headed Ant Kingdom Expeditionary Force for two days, and with the food that successfully arrived from the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom's main nest, the Northern Expeditionary Army only had six days' worth of food at the beginning, and the food reserves were in an extremely dangerous situation.

For this reason, the Northern Expeditionary Army had to speed up the attack, in order to use the capture to "feed the war with war".

But at first, the strategy didn't go well.

After the end of the offensive on the first day, the food captured by the Southern and Northern Corps, even counting the corpses of the enemy soldiers killed, was not enough to offset the consumption of the day, and it was a complete loss.

This forced the Southern Army to start the attack in two directions the next day, and the subsequent harvest increased slightly, so that they barely survived the initial food crisis.

Before the protagonist leaves, the Northern Expeditionary Army is progressing smoothly, and has captured ten enemy nests, and the captured grain, along with the stored grain, is enough to support the needs of the army for half a month.

However, the strategy of feeding the enemy must be based on constant offensive. Once the Paving Ant Barbarian Army turns to the counteroffensive and the Big-headed Ant Kingdom Expeditionary Force turns to defense, it will lose the opportunity to obtain food, and the existing food stock will be slowly depleted.

Therefore, the shadow of the lack of military food has always hung over the heads of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
