On August 8, the Red Fire Ant Country launched a full-scale attack on the Leaf Cutting Ant Country, and a battle to change the geographical pattern began.

Prior to today, both countries had stockpiled large quantities of troops and supplies to the front line during months of pre-war preparation.

War is actually about logistics, even in the world of ants, this wise saying can be just as useful. Now that both sides are now fully armed and in place, the flames of war can be rekindled.

When the war resumed, the total number of troops invested by both sides exceeded one million, which is a terrifying number, and if all the ants were densely packed together, leaving no gaps between them, so many ants would be enough to fill a three-bedroom apartment of more than 100 square meters.

A million-level battle, the scale of the Divine Envoy King Legion at its peak was unimaginable, and the standing strength of the Divine Envoy King Legion was only about 300,000 at its peak, and the enemy faced had never pieced together so many troops to put into a single battle.

However, because the military of the Leaf Cutting Ant Country and the Red Fire Ant Country is still in the stage of all the soldiers, unlike the Divine Envoy King Legion, which already has a standing army, although the troops invested by the two countries seem to be large, the comprehensive strength of any of them is not necessarily as strong as the Divine Envoy King Legion at its peak.

But no matter how you look at it, the million-level ant war is also a battle for the ages!

The attacker's Red Fire Ant Kingdom invested about 500,000 ants. Among them, there are 200,000 warriors of the red fire ant family, 160,000 burrowing ants, 40,000 forest ants, 50,000 black brown ants, and 50,000 belly ants. The forest ant warriors were recruited before the fall of the forest ant clan.

A force of this size is almost the entire family of the Red Fire Ant Country. Although the Red Fire Ant Country claims to have a million soldiers, it is the result of counting all the professional ants, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are counted.

After losing 150,000 troops in the previous fiasco, all the ant mouths that the Red Fire Ant Country can mobilize at present are more than 800,000, and the necessary ant mouths responsible for production and transportation must be left in the rear. 500,000 troops is already the limit of the Red Fire Ant Country's ability to invest.

The Red Fire Ant Country is indeed in a hurry this time, and the last battle was a rare fiasco for its country in recent years. This time, the Red Fire Ant Nation invested 200,000 native warriors to swear revenge. You must know that there are only 300,000 native warriors left in the Red Fire Ant Country. The last 100,000 red fire ants left behind are old and young professional ants, that is to say, the red fire ant country has invested almost all the living force of its own clan.

The 500,000 army cannot stay on the front line all the time, otherwise it will be an unbearable burden on the economy and logistics of the Red Fire Ant Country. So they chose to attack first.

On the other hand, on the side of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army, they have invested a full 700,000 troops, and the Leaf Cutting Ant Country has a stable food supply, and the ant population far exceeds that of the Red Fire Ant Country. In this battle, they have the advantage of troops, and they are the defenders.

However, the Leafcutter Ant's primary goal is to protect the few new nests that have just been captured, and the saplings have just been planted in this new territory, and there are no towering trees to give the Leafcutter Ants a home field advantage.

The Leafcutter Ant Army knew that it would be difficult for them to compete with the same number of Red Fire Ant Army in ground warfare, so they could only rely on their numerical superiority to fight a war of attrition.

So out of the 700,000 troops, 300,000 were placed in the new territory, and the rest of the troops were assembled in the wooded area adjacent to the new territory, and a small number of troops between the two army corps protected the lines of communication, forming a dumbbell-shaped defensive formation.

The Red Fire Ant's earlier plan of attack was to regain the territory with all its might, and there were no woods yet, so that the Red Fire Ant Army could defeat the enemy in the ground battles at which they excelled. At the same time, the forest ant warriors are the mainstay, supplemented by black brown ants and belly ants, feint to attack the woods, making it difficult for the enemy's native forces to support the battlefield in the new territory.

If it weren't for the Divine Envoy King Legion to wipe out the forest ant clan, the Red Fire Ant Nation would have expected to be replenished by 50,000 more forest ants during this time, and if there were 90,000 forest ant warriors, they would have been more confident in the containment battle.

And after losing the support of the forest ant clan and the strength of the forest warfare was greatly weakened, the Red Fire Ant Nation had to change its tactics - since it could not contain the enemy's reinforcements, then destroy the reinforcements first!

- I'm the dividing line -

In a million-strong battle, it is impossible for all troops to be gathered together.

The battle line of this battle is one kilometer long, and in terms of the maneuverability of the ants, it takes most of the day to walk along the battle line without interruption, and for the large army, this distance requires about one or two to maneuver.

On such a long front, the Red Fire Ant Army divided into four groups and attacked the Leaf Cutting Ant Army.

The first group of about 100,000 warriors, mainly auxiliary soldiers of various clans, and only a small number of warriors of the Red Fire Ant Clan, launched a feint attack on the lost territory that had just been occupied by the Leaf Cutting Ant Country.

The second group of about 100,000 soldiers, also mainly auxiliary soldiers, launched a feint attack on the mainland of the Leaf Cutting Ant Country, inducing the Leaf Cutting Ant Country to divide its reinforcements.

The third group has about 150,000 fighters, and the fourth group has about 150,000 fighters, both of which are the main forces with a large number of warriors of the Red Fire Ant clan. The two groups are deployed at the junction in the middle of the dumbbell-shaped formation of the Leafcutter Ant Army, one south and one north, with the aim of eliminating the incoming reinforcements of the Leafcutter Ant Army.

The plan of the Red Fire Ant Army is to induce reinforcements from the Leaf Cutter Ant Army to attack, first destroy the reinforcements, and then surround the main force of the Leaf Cutter Ant Army on the lost ground. They have a great appetite and are ready to eat the legion in one bite.

Since the reconnaissance ability of both sides is not as good as that of the Divine Envoy King Legion with flying knights, both sides only know that there are a lot of enemy troops in front of them and know the general deployment, but the specific number and arrangement of the other party are all in the fog.

The battle began when neither side knew much about the enemy.

The first group of the Red Fire Ant Army attacked head-on, and under the threat of the Warlord, the auxiliaries of the Red Fire Ant Army fought extremely tenaciously, especially the only remaining forest ant warriors who could no longer be replenished, knowing that their clan had perished, and they all seemed to be fighting as if they were bent on death.

Sensing that the enemy was fierce and that they had encountered the main force of the Red Fire Ant Army, they sent messengers to ask for reinforcements to fight the enemy to the death.

The Leaf Cutting Ant Country was also attacked, but the strength of the Red Fire Ant Army of the second group was not strong, not only did there be few Red Fire Ant Warriors, but there were also few Forest Ant Warriors. They were quickly defeated by the mobilized army of 400,000 leaf-cutting ants, leaving behind nearly 50,000 corpses.

After receiving a request for help from the front, the 400,000 leaf-cutting ant army reinforcements set off after resting for a while. The Leafcutter Ant Army, who had just won a big victory, had no idea that they were stepping into a death trap.

When it was confirmed that the leafcutter reinforcements had left the woods, they lined up in a marching array of hundreds of meters and went to a point 1.5 kilometers away to support. The 3rd and 4th groups of the Red Fire Ant Army left the garrison almost simultaneously and headed for the long-planned ambush battlefield.
