On the morning of the 20th, the Legion of the God's Envoy King had already embarked on the journey.
The weather is nice today. Even though it's morning, I don't feel cold at all. There was a spring rain last night, and the ground was slightly damp, but not muddy. Instead, it brought a fresh earthy smell to the air after the rain, which is the smell that the protagonist likes.
A long line of God's Envoy King warriors were marching on the ground after the rain. The line was long and winding, bypassing the plants and stones on the ground, and passing through the smoothest places.
The morning sun shines on the dewdrops, reflecting the colorful luster. At the same time, this morning light also covered the Divine Envoy King's army. The dazzling armor reflected the light, making the entire army look like a shining stream of gold.
The protagonist rides "Xiao Hei", flying in the air under the guard of eight flying knights, guiding his troops forward.
He looked at his troops on the ground with satisfaction, their majestic troops. When he first arrived here in despair and was besieged by red fire ants, he never expected that in less than a year, he would build a strong army. Moreover, every soldier in this new army is armed to the teeth and is more powerful than the individual soldiers in their homeland.
The Legion of the God Envoy King is just like this, immortal and immortal. Even if there is only one seed left, it can find a new place after drifting with the current or the wind, sprout and grow again, until the giant tree towers into the sky!
——I am the dividing line——
When the main force of the God Envoy King's army arrived in the woods where the forest ants' nests were located, some forest ants looking for food discovered this army.
At this time, the warriors of the God Envoy King were very close to the forest ant nest.
The flying knights had already located the nest of forest ants in their previous reconnaissance, which was the target of the Divine Envoy King's army. Unlike the wood ants, which are also wood-dwelling ants, wood ants do not nest in trees. They all nest on the ground, which is a large bulge that protrudes from the ground.
This bulge is about the size of a human table of immortals, and its surface is covered with thick layers of litter.
Under the cover of thick branches and fallen leaves, the nest looks similar to the surrounding ground at first glance. People who don't know what is going on might think it is a natural protrusion.
However, there are always many forest ants on the surface of this ant nest, which exposed its properties and allowed the flying knights of the God Envoy King's Legion to find the target in previous investigations.
The Legion of the God's Envoy rushed straight towards the target's lair, but they could not pick up speed on the uneven layer of dead branches and leaves in the forest. The foraging workers of the forest ants are more adapted to such terrain. After discovering the sneak attack of the Angel King's army, they rushed back faster to warn.
The forest ants have very little time to react, and their nests are also short of soldiers.
When the protagonist was hovering over the forest ant nest and saw only about a thousand forest ant warriors coming out, divided into many small teams, and instead of walking on the ground, they moved quickly on the trees, the protagonist wanted to laugh a little.
Unexpectedly, the forest ant clan, which could send tens of thousands of warriors before, can now only send so few troops to protect its nest!
As for the unusual behavior of the forest ants who did not gather but divided their forces, the protagonist did not take it to heart - in the face of the absolute power gap, many tactics are more like comedy.
The protagonist asked the flying knight to pass the order to the ground team, telling them that the number of enemy troops was very small, and the entire army quickly launched an attack to capture the enemy's nest as soon as possible.
Soon after, the Angel King's army finally encountered an attack by forest ants not far from the nest.
The number of these forest ants was too small. A dozen or dozens of them formed a small army, coming down from the tree trunks and trying to attack the sides and back of the marching troops of the Angel King's army.
However, the Divine Envoy King's army advanced lightly. The entire army was an elite warrior and had no weaknesses. Those forest ants that finally got around to the back found that they were kicking up an iron plate.
The God Envoy King's legion also divided into small groups and went up the trees to chase away the forest ant warriors. The forest ant warriors turned around and fled when they saw the pursuers, and did not confront them head-on.
Slowly, the protagonist discovered something was wrong in the air and understood the intention of the forest ants...
I saw that the size of the large army of the God's Envoy King was getting smaller and smaller. Countless troops in small squads were scattered on the trees. Many of them had lost their pursuit of the target, like headless flies.
It turned out that the forest ants being driven and chased spontaneously led the pursuing God's Envoy King warrior to the end of the high tree branches, and then these forest ants disappeared not far away from the eyes of the God's Envoy King warrior.
The wood ants didn't disappear out of thin air, they jumped out of the tree.
As arboreal ants, wood ants have evolved to be more adapted to the criss-crossing terrain on trees. Their workers also have pseudo-three-dimensional thinking, knowing that on a branch at any height, they can reach other branches or the ground by just jumping down.
The reason for pseudo-three-dimensional thinking is that these worker ants do not really have the concept of three-dimensional space like female ants, but only experience and instinct.
Just like in an RPG game, a character steps on a teleportation point and automatically jumps to another location. It's not that the person playing the game understands the principle of teleportation, they just know where they can get from here.
The warriors of the God Envoy King didn't understand this. They just saw the enemy disappear. The leading male ants found that the enemy appeared in a new place. They hurriedly led the team to find a new way to chase them, but they couldn't catch up at all. Or simply lose the target and have to go back along the original path.
The forest ants that escaped the pursuit returned to harass the Divine Envoy King's army, forcing them to continue to divide their forces to pursue.
The protagonist noticed something was wrong and quickly told the flying knights to separate and notify each unit to return. Don't scatter and just attack the enemy's nest.
As the Angel King's army was no longer fooled, the forest ants who could not force them to divide their forces finally gathered together to mount a final resistance when their nests were exposed to the intruders' eyes.
Forest ants fight to protect their territories and nests. They are neither heroic nor tenacious. But the huge numerical advantage makes the sacrifice of the forest ants seem tragic but useless.
On the bulging nest covered with dead branches and leaves, a corpse of a forest ant fell with every step forward of the God's Envoy King's army.
It only took half an hour for the God Envoy King's army to completely crush the resistance of the forest ants and invade the base of the nest.
The nest ** forest ants have no soldiers available and are completely conquered. The protagonist ordered the execution of all captured forest ant males and adult workers, and killed dozens of forest ant queens, leaving three forest ant queens and tens of thousands of ant eggs, young ants, and ants. The pupae were transported back to [Xinyang City] as trophies.
In this way, the God Envoy King's army conquered the forest ants, turning the forest ants into the fifth vassal ant tribe under his command.
Subsequently, the Angel King's Legion left a small group of warriors to garrison the forest ants' nest, waiting for the ant colonization team sent to arrive to take over the new nest and the new territory.
The God Envoy King's army destroyed one of the most important vassals of the Red Fire Ant Nation, and the Red Fire Ant Nation quickly responded!
