Chapter 171: Earning the City and Surprise Attack

The increasingly hot weather makes this insect world seem thriving.

The whole land is full of greenery and insect tracks, and insects like to have a hot day, which can raise their body temperature and make them more active. Of course, if it's too hot, the insects will also take refuge in the shade to cool down.

From the air, the main nest of the Red Fire Ant Country is green and green, and to the north of the Black Forest, the meadow is like a green carpet spread on the ground. It was also a clearing around [Hive City] that was deliberately cleared out by ants, like a yellow-brown stain on a green carpet.

The open space around [Hive City] is densely covered with large and small pits, which are the traps of their protector god worm, the antlion.

Red fire ants and slaves who enter and exit [Hive City] know to avoid these traps and follow pheromone guidance through the crooked safe passages.

Although the 120,000 troops left [Hive City] for the front line not long ago, the vicinity of [Hive City] is still very lively, and a large number of slave ants who have been left behind are gathering food everywhere to supply the Red Fire Ant Elders and the frontline troops in the city.

These slaves could only eat half full every day, but they had to be busy from dawn to dark, and they did not dare to eat a little food secretly by themselves, which was pitiful and hateful.

A group of burrowing ant slaves searching for food in the south of the city spotted a team of big-headed ants and scythe hunters approaching.

This is the vanguard of the Divine Messenger King's legion, these burrower ant slaves know their smell, know that this is a vassal of the country, and when they learn that they are going to the main nest [Hive City] to join the large army, the leader of the burrowing ant male ants enthusiastically tells them that the army has been drawn and they should be rerouted to the front line.

The male ant of the big-headed ant said that he had received an order from the suzerainty to go to [Hive City], ignoring the "kindness" of the burrowing ants and leading the army to continue advancing.

A group of burrowing ants watched a large army of big-headed ants, advancing under the grass, and the team stretched out, gradually sinking into the shade of the grass not far away, not knowing that a big event was about to happen.

After the Divine Envoy King Legion entered the territory of the Red Fire Ant Country, they did not immediately erect a counter-flag, but used the status of a vassal state to prepare to steal into [Hive City] to steal into [Hive City] to earn the city under the banner of being ordered to support [Hive City].

This can avoid the siege of the nest, the [Hive City] covers a large area, there are strong ant mounds and a large number of traps for the protector gods, the army of the god envoy king must quickly capture this city, and not fall into a long siege quagmire, so as not to change.

At first, the Divine Envoy King Legion successfully deceived the slaves they encountered along the way, and when they reached the outskirts of [Hive City] and encountered the Red Fire Ant Patrol, these patrols said that they would not let the Divine Envoy King Legion continue to approach.

They stated that they had not received news of the return of the messenger from the Legion of the King, and that the Council of Elders had not agreed to the entry of the Legion of the King.

The vanguard was the centipeda's legion, and he tried his best to explain that he was ordered to come and lead his troops according to the messenger of the Red Fire Ant Country.

But the ants are not naturally fit to lie, and the centipeda's statement is actually full of loopholes, and although the Red Fire Ant Patrol is not suspicious, they are not persuaded by this reason at all, and they only accept the orders of the Presbyterian Council.

The leader male of the patrol, like the burrowing ant slave male he had encountered earlier, persuaded the centipeda to reroute to the front line, where reinforcements were needed.

The centipeda ordered the troops to stand in place, summoned the flying knights, and asked them to go back and ask the Divine Envoy King what to do. Red Fire Ant Patrols were keeping an eye on them nearby, and also sent messengers to report back to the Presbyterian Church.

[Hive City] was very close, and the Council of Elders quickly sent an elder to deal with the matter, and this elder was very fierce and bad, saying that he would take over the command, and the military power of the centipede should be handed over to him immediately, and then the troops immediately set off and rushed to the front line.

The centipede naturally didn't do it, the male ants watched the military power very closely, he and the red fire ant elder argued in the tentacles, and the warriors on both sides looked wrong, and they also confronted each other tensely.

At this time, the protagonist landed on a "little black", he rushed to the front line lightly, and after learning about the situation, he realized that it was too simple to think about earning the city.

Although a force like the Red Fire Ant Country has not experienced the tricks of human beings, it has been fighting all year round, and the main hive [Hive City] has also faced military threats more than once, and has already formed a strict defense system, and the gods have no chance to take advantage of the king's legion.

But the strength of the Red Fire Ant clan in [Hive City] is weak, and this is the biggest opportunity.

At the protagonist's orders, the Red Fire Ant Elder and the patrol suddenly notice that these damned vassals on the other side are suddenly facing each other.

A handful of red fire ants were quickly killed, and they probably didn't realize until they died that the Divine Envoy King's legion was so big.

In order to ensure that no fish slipped through the net, the Divine Envoy King warriors were also killed by some slaves of other ant tribes who were foraging nearby.

The Divine Envoy King's legion began to gather troops, preparing to take advantage of the situation before [Hive City] understood the situation and attacked and captured the city.

————

Not long after, the red fire ants and slaves of various clans near [Hive City] suddenly heard a strange sound, like a faint thunder in the distance, but the tentacles felt that the source of the sound was actually very close.

The ants in the south of the city were the closest and the most intuitive, and a large group of big-headed ants and war beasts suddenly appeared, and these big-headed ants were fiddling with some strange things.

The gods sent the king's legion to disperse these unknown ants, but did not attack them for the time being, and revealed their intentions later. Those ants were not far away, watching as the Divine Envoy King warriors unloaded the mung bean cannon from the medium beetle and arranged the gun position.

The millet cannon does not need to be removed, it can be loaded and fired directly on the back of the double-pronged rhino beetle, and the large double-pronged rhino beetle can fully withstand the recoil of the small artillery.

Artillery shooting!

Suddenly, there was a muffled thunderstorm, and large and small openings exploded on the [Hive City] ant mound, and the falling sand and soil splashed everywhere, and the onlookers were scared and scurrying around even if they hadn't understood it.

At the same time as the bombardment, a large number of warriors of the Divine Envoy King rushed forward with weeds and sticks, and they wanted to use the debris to fill a path in the middle of the antlion traps for the army to pass.

There were also four legions of gods who made a quick detour to the wings, driving the scattered slave ants to [Hive City], and many of these ants fell into the trap in a panic and became food for the antlions.

The outflanking Divine Envoy King warriors did not intend to kill these slaves, but did not want to lose the news that the Divine Envoy King's legions were besieging [Hive City], but to tightly surround the lair.

But objectively, a large number of slave ants fell into the trap, attracting the attention of the antlion, and also making the siege road of the Divine Angel King warrior safer.

After the failure to earn the city, the Divine Envoy King's legion launched a surprise attack on [Hive City]!
