In the afternoon, the tanks of the God's Envoy Army transformed into heavy-duty military vehicles, carrying infantry units several times and crossing the swamp from the east side of the battlefield.
A whole legion of 2,600 soldiers, plus the tank unit's own accompanying infantry, made all the ants in the entire tank legion go back and forth an average of 6 times before the transportation was completed, which took more than an hour.
During this period, in order to prevent the enemy's scouts from being discovered, the flying knights in the air were always escorting them.
Whenever they found that the enemy was approaching, the flying knights would use the tactics of diving and shooting with slings to drive away the enemy patrols near the crossing point.
These patrols were not smart either. As long as I didn't see them, there was no enemy crossing. They were driven away many times without understanding what it meant.
This roundabout operation of the God's Envoy King's Legion was not discovered by the enemy in the end.
In the afternoon, the tank troops and a whole legion of elite God Warriors suddenly appeared on the east side of the Red Fire Ant Army after resting in place. The left army on the front line of the Red Fire Ant Army was attacked from two sides. The enemy could only retreat and get rid of the natural danger of the bridge position.
After finally seizing the beachhead, they saw the Angel King's army continuously pulling out of the road in the swamp to the other side. Upon seeing this, the red fire ant army decisively left 10,000 cannon fodder, mainly slave ants, and the large army quickly turned north.
Even in the direction of the leaf-cutting ant army, which had been unable to break through, the red fire ant army withdrew its main force, leaving only cannon fodder.
The leaf-cutter ant army and the Angel King army finally broke through the temporary defense line built by the red fire ant army based on spring mud.
As long as the coalition forces continue to advance, they will be getting closer and closer to [North Pine City], and the pine forest in the distance seems to be within sight!
————
10 flying knights flew in the air, closely monitoring the fleeing red fire ant army on the ground.
The Leafcutter Ant Army and the Angel King Army behind them had to transport the follow-up troops and necessary materials through the swamp through the narrow road. They had no time to pursue them and had no choice but to let the Fire Ant Army escape.
This group of flying knights came to monitor the fire ant army to prevent them from killing a carbine or setting up an ambush position, which would cause unnecessary casualties to the coalition forces.
The fire ants on the ground were very annoyed with the flying knights flying "buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, buzzing" overhead. The "wisdom elders" and the others organized several anti-aircraft shootings of the ants, and even Climb trees to ambush and shoot.
However, the flying knights had long been alert to avoid low altitudes and trees that were easily attacked, and did not let the enemy succeed.
The red fire ant army could only bite the bullet and continue to retreat north. They still didn't know whether the leaf-cutting ant army and the angel king army had caught up under the guidance of the flying knight, and they were still afraid of encountering a surprise attack.
In fact, the Angel King's army encountered some troubles at this time. When their artillery and cakes were carried by beetle beasts for crossing, they had to walk through mud pits because there were infantry marching on the road.
As a result, the barrels of several cannons were filled with mud, and they had to be cleaned and dried again after reaching the other side, which delayed a lot of things. Fortunately, the artillery was not seriously damaged, and the propellant of the mysterious liquid was stable and not contaminated.

In the distant sky, a black mist suddenly rose.
The temporary commander of the Flying Knight Group - a magical worker ant looked ahead alertly, the black mist seemed to be approaching him! ?
The mount of Commander Miraculous Worker Ant suddenly slowed down, and the other flying knights following on both sides also slowed down. When they saw the head knight flying out a trajectory that symbolized warning, they immediately prepared themselves for battle.
The black mist was indeed approaching, very fast, from far to near, from small to large, heading straight towards the flying knight, or in other words, towards the red fire ant army on the ground.
When the distance was reduced to within 10 meters, the flying knights recognized that it was the "Mosquito" air force of the Pavement Ant Empire Army.
Before the expedition, the Legion of the God's Envoy conducted assault training for the flying knights, and handed over the information about the "mosquitoes" in the enemy's army to the flying knights, reminding them that they must pay attention to this enemy.
In the past, the flying knights have never encountered hostile forces with air forces (except for the parasitic bacteria). They have always dominated the sky. At most, they occasionally encountered fierce insects in the air or ambushes on the ground.
This time, the enemy also had an air force, but after reading the intelligence, the flying knights did not feel how powerful these "mosquitoes" were.
There were about sixty or seventy "mosquitoes" flying in. They had not discovered the flying knights yet. Instead, after seeing the fleeing red fire ant army in front, they tried to land and contact the ground troops.
On the ground, several red imported fire ants began to dance strange dances, leaving traces on the ground.
Upon seeing this, the "Mosquito" troops immediately stopped descending, regained altitude, and then got closer and continued searching southward.
The ground troops used actions to notify the "mosquitoes" that there were enemies nearby. When the "mosquitoes" got more than 1 meter closer to the flying knight, they finally confirmed that the "flies" in front of them were not natural creatures, but enemies.
A battle breaks out between "flies" and "mosquitoes"!
————
The flying knights were prepared for battle in advance. At this time, they already had a high altitude advantage and their speed was not slow.
The "buzzing" fly knights flew over the heads of the "mosquitoes", followed by 10 shiny fire bombs falling down.
The "mosquitoes" reacted very quickly and dispersed quickly, dodging most of the fire bombs. Only two unlucky ones did not dodge in a hurry. They were stuck to their bodies by the fire bombs and were immediately scalded to death.
Only then did the "mosquitoes" realize that they were being attacked. The "mosquitoes", which did not need to be commanded and could not be commanded, turned around and chased after the flying knight instinctively.
The flying knights made a big turn in the distance, and when they saw the "mosquito swarm" pursuing them, they immediately raised their altitude and flew diagonally, hoping to continue to seize the enemy's head.
The most lethal weapon of the Flying Knight is the fire bomb sling, but this weapon is too light and cannot be thrown far. It can only be dropped from behind along with the flight speed, relying on inertia and gravity to tilt and slowly fall. Damages enemies it touches. This weapon cannot hit if the enemy is not underneath.
Although the "mosquitoes" had no guidance on air combat theory, their instincts made them aware of the importance of height and speed, and they flapped their wings vigorously, flying high to get closer to the flying knights.
These "mosquitoes" only have carapace blades made of carapace fragments on their mandibles. This is their only weapon. They must get close to attack the enemy.
The armor pieces used in the "Mosquito"'s jaw knives are made by recycling damaged armor. Even so, only a few troops are equipped with jaw knives, and the "Mosquito" army is part of them.
The two sides quickly approached, but this time the flying knights failed to fully occupy the high ground and were forced to fight hand to hand.
