The army of the Angel King Legion Strategy [Hive City] only has 6 legions. Later, 2 legions escorted more than 100,000 captive ant workers to the canal construction site and have not yet returned.
This time, only 4 legions of the Divine Envoy Army attacked, assisted by a tank brigade and a flying knight squad, totaling about 12,000 soldiers.
With such a force, if they were to face the 120,000-strong army of the Red Fire Ant Nation alone, they would have a numerical disadvantage of 1:10, and they were in an open field with no danger to defend, so there was no chance of winning.
But the Angel King's army still has allies, powerful allies!
After the Leafcutter Ant Nation received information from the Angel King's army and learned that it had begun to counterattack and captured the main nest of the Red Fire Ant Nation, they were still shocked.
The Leafcutter Ant Nation has been trying to get the Angel King's Legion to join the war and jointly deal with the red fire ant army. The purpose is also to hope that the Angel King's Legion can contain some of the enemy forces and reduce its own pressure. They knew very well how powerful the fire ant army was, and they never thought they could wipe out this old enemy in one fell swoop.
Throughout the history of the leafcutter ant kingdom, there has only been one attack on [Hive City], and they were trapped by a swarm of ant lion traps.
This time, the God Envoy King's army accomplished a feat that the leaf-cutting ants had never achieved before. No wonder the leaf-cutting ants were shocked.
The queen ant assembly and female ant assembly of the leafcutter ant country intensely discussed the impact of this incident, and finally recognized that now is a good opportunity to eliminate the old enemy red fire ant country.
The leaf-cutter ants have great faith in the legion of the Envoy King of the civilized ant tribe, which is also inherited from the ancient gods. As a result, among the four to five million leafcutter ant troops stationed on the front line, 360,000 leafcutter ant warriors were ordered to move. This time, even the precious star beetle holy beast was dispatched.
The star beetle left the safety of the forest and went to the predetermined battlefield to conduct reconnaissance.
After half a day of intensive dispatch, the Flying Knight and the Star Beetle have located the location and movements of the red fire ant army and informed each other of the military situation.
The leaf-cutter ant army and the God Envoy King army rushed forward from two directions, preparing to encircle and annihilate the last main force of the red fire ant clan.
After the Angel King's legion left [Hive City], the local defense was handed over to the big-headed ant workers who had just immigrated here, and the defense force seemed very weak.
However, the fire ant army currently has no intention of returning. Some of the other sub-hives are not aware of the sudden change in the main hive. The reinforcements they have provided are also heading to the west front in accordance with the previous orders of the main hive. They will not threaten [Hive City] for the time being. ].
The sporadic appearance of a small number of fire ants and slave ants is not a threat to [Hive City]. And [Xinyang City] mobilized the legion originally used to develop the south bank of Qinghe River to come to support.
[Hive City] is safe for the time being, and the Divine Envoy King's army can devote all its energy to the next battle without worrying about the rear.
————
The army of fire ants marched in three columns across the wild wilderness.
The ant tunnels carved out by ants for thousands of years are winding on this land, and the marching queue of the red fire ant army stretches along the winding road. Standing in the middle of the queue, you cannot see the queue from both ends. the end of.
Although the ants are numerous, and although they are still unaware of the changes in the main nest, the commanders of the fire ants have gradually become aware of some unfavorable situations.
Since yesterday, the fire ant army has not received any messengers from the main nest [Hive City], and the messengers sent back have not returned yet.
Since the messengers returning to the city have not yet reached the final time to return, the commanders of the red fire ant army have not paid much attention to this information. Maybe there is just some delay on the way?
Several other pieces of information aroused the vigilance of the male red fire ants.
There are tens of thousands of fire ant troops confronting the leaf-cutter ant army on the front line. They have just sent a messenger to say that the leaf-cutter ant army has suddenly launched an attack. The front-line troops cannot resist it and have retreated. And the army of leaf-cutting ants is coming here.
In addition, some red fire ants who were on the lookout noticed that flies from the God Envoy King's Legion and star beetles from the Leafcutter Ant Kingdom were flying over the army's head.
These lookouts are all trained, and some of them are male ants, who have very good eyesight and cannot recognize mistakes.
There are 12 elders in the red fire ant army, who are the highest commanders. They summoned some male ant officers to hold a combat meeting to discuss the current military situation.
The flying knights of the God Envoy King's Legion did not make the red fire ants feel threatened. Those pesky flies were always flying around. Wherever the red fire ants appeared, these flies would follow them. They had become accustomed to it.
Last year, the Red Fire Ant Nation had serious negotiations with the God Envoy King Legion, and the God Envoy King Legion stopped sending flying knights to the [Hive City] area for cross-border reconnaissance. However, in other places, the flying knights are still arrogant.
Although the fire ants were angry, they were not seriously harmed and did not take drastic actions. Anyway, they were repeatedly investigated by the sovereign state and other forces back then, and they did not realize the importance of air supremacy.
But the appearance of the star beetle of the leaf-cutter ant army has a very unusual meaning. The red fire ants understand this opponent and know that they regard the sacred beast Star Beef as very precious and will not let it leave the forest area easily.
Once the star beetle leaves the forest, it means that the leaf-cutter ant army is ready for a war, and it is a war that will overwhelm the country.
The fire ants are a warlike, Spartan ant tribe. In normal times, they like the enemy to gather together. They can completely eliminate the main force of the enemy in one battle, and then pursue the victory, just like last year's "Unparalleled Battle" "That way.
However, the fire ants are not stupid either. They will also evaluate the balance of power between the two sides. They also know that their own strength has been greatly damaged this year and is not suitable for a decisive battle.
The strategic purpose of this red fire ant army was not originally for a decisive battle, but to use its familiarity with the terrain to hold back the leaf-cutting ant army and prevent it from continuing to penetrate into the hinterland of the country until the country's reserve forces breed and grow in the fall. , then consider counterattack.
But now, the elders of the fire ant army gradually realized that although they did not have the intention of a decisive battle, the leaf-cutter ant army did.
The enemy has changed from the past steady strategy of just occupying a few nests on the border, planting trees, and then continuing to expand after the trees have grown into forests for more than ten years.
Fight or retreat, the red fire ant army needs to make a decision.
But in fact, even high-ranking and powerful fire ant elders do not dare to make the decision to avoid fighting. The red fire ants, which advocate bravery, will not tolerate their elders being "cowardly". Maybe the young male ants will It's time to go down and conquer the elders directly.
In the history of the Red Fire Ant Country, this kind of thing has happened more than once, which has also resulted in their ruling class being dominated by young men from top to bottom, and filled with a fanatical and warlike atmosphere.
Finally, the elders decided to fight, and the fire ant army began to march lightly, rushing to a secondary nest in an important location with suitable terrain, where they were ready to meet the leaf-cutting ant army.
And they don't know yet that something has changed behind them, and another enemy army is coming along the way they came from, killing them all!
