The scale of the attack force temporarily summoned by the protagonist is not large, and he still has to leave most of the 2nd and 3rd legions to defend his home.
But the army is very elite. The warriors inside are all composed of soldier ants and even magic soldier ants. They are all equipped with iron weapons, armor and long-range weapons. Their strength is even stronger than the most elite infantry legions in their homeland.
After gathering outside [Xinyang City], a group of troops quickly set off and rushed to the scheduled battlefield.
The ants and fire ants come one behind the other, escaping and chasing each other, along the river beach. The route is fixed, so the protagonist can choose a battlefield suitable for his own side.
This is the first battle between the Angel King's Legion and the red fire ants, and it is also the second battle between the Angel King's Legion and the red fire ants after they left their hometown. Since the first time the warriors were against the weak ants, this battle was the real test.
The protagonist also knows that although his subordinates did not show too many abnormalities because they were unable to return to their homeland and already knew that the main force had been wiped out, the emotions of fear and uneasiness have always been lurking in the hearts of all the male ants. It’s not surprising to feel this way when you are suddenly forced to settle in a foreign country, possibly under threat.
The protagonist knows that this battle must be won. Only by winning and not losing can the male ants' confidence be rekindled, and only then can the Angel King's army no longer be afraid of the powerful and brave red fire ants.
In order to be on the safe side, the protagonist did not form a formation to prepare for battle. Instead, he lurked his troops in the grass near the river beach, leaving only the flying knight to provide warning in the sky, with the intention of ambush.
——I am the dividing line——
More than two hundred ants were running away in an extremely embarrassed manner. They were avoiding the devil and the doomsday, which was the real doomsday brought about by the devil.
The staggering running ants were still unable to get away from the pursuers not far behind them, because the "old heart" could not leave behind the stumbling queen ant in the team.
This is a young queen ant. Her abdomen has not yet entered reproductive mode, otherwise she would not be able to run. However, the queen ant is not suitable for long-distance running due to her congenital physiology. She is already tired and must be supported by the worker ants around her.
"Old Heart" was very anxious. The fire ants were approaching little by little. He had already sent out three groups of rear troops, but each time he could only slightly slow down the pursuers.
"Old Heart" made a decision and once again used his tentacles to order a king to lead his men to the rear, sacrificing himself to buy a few minutes, even a few seconds.
It doesn't matter if the warrior dies, it doesn't matter if the king dies, it doesn't matter even if he dies! But if the only queen ant in the team dies, then the group is really over!
"Old Heart"'s desire for the continuation of the tribe led him to make the decision to defect to the alien ants after his defeat in the decisive battle.
This time, the red fire ants came to exterminate the clan. Originally, after the decisive battle, a king with the same status as "Old Heart" tried to express a deeper surrender to the ants, and he did not hesitate to change from a vassal to a slave.
But the fire ants still refused to accept it and slaughtered all the ants that tried to surrender.
The horror of the massacre frightened "Old Heart", but it also made him sober. While the fire ants were chasing the fleeing ants all over the tree, and while the fire ants were getting into several tree nests and killing the queens and worker ants in the nests, "Old Heart" took the remaining men from a remote tree. A queen ant was picked up in the nest, and then moved from a tree path that had not been set foot by fire ants to another tree, preparing to defect to the legion of the God Envoy King who had previously promised to accept his clan as a vassal.
Along the way, scattered ants continued to join. The team soon grew to more than 300, and finally attracted the attention of red fire ants, and then the two sides staged a chase scene on the beach.
——I am the dividing line——
The fire ants once again eliminated the rear troops of the ants, and such a monotonous chase made their commander a little impatient.
However, these experienced commanders and elite warriors who have been fighting various ants all year round still retained their basic vigilance during the smooth battle.
When a dense sound of "thrusts" came from the grass on the slope in the distance, even if the commander of the fire ants had not yet seen the Angel King's army, he immediately sent half of his troops to the north to guard.
Now, half of the fire ant's force continues to chase the ants, and the other half is preparing to deal with unknown attacks. In the eyes of the fire ants, these one thousand warriors are enough to withstand a sneak attack. Except for the army of leaf-cutter ants, no ant race in the world has the ability to eat a thousand fire ant warriors in one go.
When the Angel King soldiers emerged from the grass and charged, only two meters away from the red fire ant troops, the red fire ant commander finally saw the incoming ants.
In his eyes, they were a group of ants he had never seen before, with their bodies reflecting the sun's rays.
The armored warriors of the God's Envoy King reflected dazzling light, rushing towards the enemy like a ball of flames.
The fire ants are very tenacious and live up to their reputation as the overlords of this area.
In order to achieve the suddenness of the attack, the Legion of the God Envoy only briefly launched a wave of sling attacks during the charge, trying to disrupt the formation and then engage in hand-to-hand combat.
But the fire ants gathered together and endured the hail of bullets without moving. Fire ants often fight against enemies with long-range attack capabilities such as ants, and have already adapted to such attacks.
Although the physical damage of the sling was completely different from the corrosive damage of the acid, the red fire ants responded to the ever-changing changes and maintained their formation despite casualties without revealing any flaws.
The Divine Envoy King's army was already charging. Even if they saw that the enemy was motionless, they could not stop their charge. The two sides entered into a hand-to-hand battle.
In hand-to-hand combat, the red imported fire ant team is basically composed of large and medium-sized worker ants, and their size is generally larger than that of big-headed soldier ants, or at least the same size. Judging from the size, it is the red imported fire ants that are more dominant.
But after a fight, the God Envoy King's army did not suffer a loss, but the red fire ants couldn't adapt!
The iron armor blocked the stinging bites of the stubby and sharp mandibles of the fire ants. The fire ants suddenly found that their proud melee fighting ability had no use. They had never encountered such a situation where the attack was ineffective, even in the final battle. There is nothing the experienced commander can do at this time.
Only some of the God Envoy King warriors were bitten to a position without the protection of their armor, and immediately twitched and fell down as if they were electrocuted, never to get up again. Only then did some red fire ant commanders realize that this situation was not a problem on their own side.
But individual cases cannot change the entire occupation, and the fire ants gradually cannot resist it!
Even if half of the troops who were chasing the Belly Ant came back to support them, it wouldn't change the outcome. The Angel King's army surrounded this group of red fire ants. The soldiers formed a tight formation and slaughtered this group of red fire ants with extremely high efficiency!
