The Red Fire Ant Army is progressing exceptionally well on the frontal battlefield. But it was a difficult time for the slaves in the rear who were tired of foraging for food and transporting military rations to the front.

Unlike the leafcutter ant country, which can produce sufficient fungal food on its own, the elite warriors of the red fire ant clan are good at fighting, but they don't care about foraging at all, and even eat with slaves mouth-to-mouth feeding, otherwise they don't eat at all.

When the besieged leaf-cutting ant army was anxious because there was only half a month left in the stockpile, the red fire ant army opposite them had even less food, only 3 days left, but they were still launching an offensive.

In order to ensure the food supply of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line and the feeding of red fire ants, the vast number of slaves in the red fire ant country took on this arduous task almost day and night.

The target of the Divine Envoy King's attack this time is a group of slave troops of the Red Fire Ant Army who are driving "food" to the front line.

These foods are dozens of huge horses. Malu, also known as millipedes, is a common insect and one of the few domesticated insects in China.

To be precise, Malu was actually domesticated by burrowing ants, and the red fire ants didn't care about anything other than combat.

In that year, with the conquest of burrowing ants and becoming vassals, some of them became slaves, and the technology of domesticating and raising horses was brought into the country of red fire ants by burrowing ant slaves.

The undomesticated Malu has its own set of tricks for dealing with ant hunting, and the glands on the side of its body can spray a pungent venom or poisonous mist, which has a strange smell and poison enough to prevent ants from approaching and then fleeing.

However, the domesticated Ma Lu has been destroyed by these glands since he was a child, and has become a big fat worm that is ready to be slaughtered at any time after it grows up.

This information is what the protagonist learns from the "old heart".

Dozens of horses, that's a lot of meat, and there are only about a thousand burrowing ants with low combat effectiveness who are responsible for escorting, and the escort route is not far from the western territory of the Divine Envoy King Legion, which is simply a delicacy delivered to the door.

The protagonist immediately sets up a legion, led by a centipeda, and at the same time 2,000 worker ants accompany him, ready to drive Ma Lu back. If Malu can't drive back to the nest, then just kill, divide, and bring the meat back.

This small battle was lackluster, and the Divine Envoy King's army effortlessly eliminated the burrowing ant slaves who drove the escort Ma Lu, gathered all the Ma Lu who had escaped during the battle, and drove them back to their territory.

The malu were well trained by the burrowing ants, and with a fixed nervous response, the worker ants quickly learned how to use their stings to drive them in the direction they wanted.

A total of 68 horses were driven back to the territory of the Divine Envoy King's army, and the protagonist left 4 horses to breed and let the ants on the pig farm study how to raise them.

These horses and mealworms feed on similar patterns and can also be considered for rearing in underground farms. It's just that although Malu is large and has a lot of meat, the taste is not good, and the earthy smell is very strong, so it is not very popular.

Later, the Divine Envoy King Legion still gave up the plan to raise Ma Lu to eat meat, and the meat of mealworms was much tastier! However, only one crop of horse land eggs is laid once a year, but it has become a delicacy, so the Divine Envoy King's army still retains a small amount of horse land breeding.

The military operation of the Divine Envoy King's army to capture Ma Lu this time aroused great vigilance among the Red Fire Ant Army.

At present, the Red Fire Ant Army is stepping up its attack on the trapped Leaf Cutting Ant Army, but from the third day of the general offensive, the offensive of the already exhausted Red Fire Ant Army has gradually slowed down.

The reason for the Red Fire Ant Army's reduction in attack intensity is that in addition to the fact that the elite soldiers of the Red Fire Ant clan have been fighting for many days and are exhausted, the main reason for the rest is that the military food is insufficient.

Previously, the Red Fire Ant Nation had exhausted all the strength of the whole country and gathered the military rations for the army to launch a full-scale attack, and these military rations had been almost consumed so far.

Although the food in the rear continued to be transported, it was not even enough to meet the daily needs of the front line, which was in full swing, and the slave auxiliaries had no time to forage for food on their own.

The batch of horses and horses that the Divine Envoy King's Legion snatched was the largest batch of meat that the Red Fire Ant Nation had supplied to the front line recently, and it was originally due to the inconvenience and perishability of fresh meat to be transported and easy to perish, so it drove the live insects directly to the front line, but the result was cheaper for the Divine Envoy King's Legion.

This made the red fire ants very angry.

What happened next made the Red Fire Ant Kingdom even more angry.

In the next 3 days, the Divine Envoy King Legion successively attacked many secondary nests in the territory of the Red Fire Ant Country, capturing 2 of them.

In addition, the 3 burrowing ants and black brown ant vassals next to the territory of the original forest ant clan were also wiped out by the Divine Envoy King Legion, and the territory was occupied by the Divine Envoy King Legion.

Although there are burrowing ants and black brown ants in China, the direct loss caused by the loss of vassals is not large, mainly due to the reduction of part of the tribute income and military resources.

But when did the rebellious Red Fire Ant Kingdom be slapped in the face by the enemy like this?

In order to retaliate, the Red Fire Ant Country formed another army under the background of the war on the front line and the shortage of local military food, consisting of 3,000 Red Fire Ant warriors and 8,000 slave auxiliaries, and followed the route of the previous time, and went straight to [Xinyang City].

On their marching route, they will also pass through two new sub-nests built by the Divine Envoy King Legion, and in order to protect these sub-nests, the protagonist does not plan to continue to fight in the [New Yang City] Cage City!

After months of expansion and training, the current Divine Envoy King Legion is not what it used to be, and the protagonist pulls all the troops, including the 101st Legion, which is composed of vassal warriors, out to participate in the battle, just using this actual battle as a training subject for some new legions.

The Red Fire Ant Army had no secrets under the detection of the Flying Knights, and the Divine Envoy King's army ambushed in a hollow, and when the enemy troops all entered, they quickly occupied the surrounding high ground and trapped the enemy army.

The Red Fire Ants attempted to break out, but were repelled by the tank forces with ballistas and charges, and then the Divine Envoy King's Legion weakened the enemy with long-range firepower before launching a general attack.

The Red Fire Ant Army was completely wiped out, and only a few dozen of them were deliberately let go to report the news.

The Divine Envoy King's Legion recently defeated the Red Fire Ant Army in two consecutive field battles, and finally avenged the siege of the city.

However, the protagonist also knows that this is the reason why the Red Fire Ant Country still has to concentrate on dealing with the leaf-cutting ant army, and it is simply unable to send the main force over.

At present, the overall strength of the Divine Envoy King Legion is far inferior to that of the Red Fire Ant Country, if it is not possible to greatly weaken the Red Fire Ant Country with the help of the Leaf Cutting Ant Army in this war, the Divine Envoy King Legion will never have peace in the future.

In particular, there is actually a rift between the Divine Envoy King Legion and the Leaf-Cutting Ant Country, once the Leaf-Cutting Ant Country knows that the Divine Envoy King Legion has lied to them, the current pitiful iron ore import volume will also be zero.

The Legion of the Divine Envoy King, in this new continent, has no allies, and can only rely on itself!
