Although the protagonist is dissatisfied with the defense arrangements of the leaf-cutter ant army, there is nothing he can do except put forward a few suggestions that have not been adopted.
The God Envoy King's Army and the Leaf Cutter Ant Army are only allies and have no affiliation. The battlefield is in the Leaf Cutter Ant Country, and the Leaf Cutter Ant Army is more numerous. When it comes to the right to speak, the Leaf Cutter Ant Country is more important. The King's Legion must obey its overall deployment, which is also the rule among civilized ant tribes.
The protagonist led the Angel King's army and stationed alone at the southernmost position of the leaf-cutter ant army's defense line. He built a new fortress on a slope as a base and did not blend into the leaf-cutter ant army's defense line. go.
Until the outbreak of the "June 3rd Battle", the preparations for the war between the Leaf Cutter Ant Army and the Angel King Army could be said to be very complete. The Pavement Ant Imperial Army actually delayed sending troops south until May 29, giving the coalition forces a total of more than twenty Days of preparation time.
The leaf-cutter ant army took this opportunity to continue to mobilize troops and supplies from the mainland, and a total of 700,000 troops were stationed at the defense line. Due to the shortening of the supply line, its logistics situation has been greatly improved, and the front line has accumulated enough food to support the army for one month.
The Angel King Army did not increase its troops like the Leaf Cutter Ant Army. It only made up for the vacancies from previous battles and retreats, and stocked up on food for two months, part of which was provided by the Leaf Cutter Ant Army. This was what the expeditionary force should do. Some benefits.
The protagonist does not have enough confidence in whether the central defense line can stop the millions of Pavement Ant Imperial Army. Once the central defense line is breached, the enemy army can go straight to the west and attack the native forest of the leafcutter ant country, and go south across an undefensible flat land. , you can directly reach [Hive City] and the Black Forest.
Therefore, the protagonist also ordered the Ant Alliance to build a fortress in the [Hive City] area as a precautionary measure.
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was not attacking for the time being, the protagonist also issued a few orders:
The Ministry of Scientific Research began to increase research on firearms and other air combat weapons used by flying knights. The number of flying knights cannot be compared with the "mosquito" army of the Pavement Ant Empire. There must be generational differences in equipment and dimensionality reduction strikes. To ensure air superiority.
The Divine Envoy King's Legion has become accustomed to having air superiority and having an advantage in intelligence. During the previous retreat south, they were very uncomfortable after losing air superiority. The war with the Pavement Ant Empire will definitely be a long-term war. The significance of air supremacy is self-evident and must not be lost.
The second order was to confirm that the pavement ant imperial army had not gone south for the time being, and that the "mosquito" army had stopped dispatching after discovering that the target had nested and rested. The protagonist dispatched many troops to search north, trying to capture the harassing group. The flying tiger that passed through the legions of the Divine Envoy King.
This group of fly tigers reminds the protagonist of "Tempest". His fly tiger mount followed the land troops to the swamp area in his hometown. It has now been occupied by parasitic bacteria. The protagonist does not know that "Tempest" is now there. Which, is it still alive, has it been parasitized?
He didn't want to think about this before. The lively "Tempest" held a lot of weight in his heart, probably second only to "Go" and "Rambo Fly". Seeing this group of fly tigers this time, the protagonist wants to continue to conquer a fly tiger mount.
Moreover, the Fly Tigers are masters at catching aerial targets. Several members of the Flying Knights were killed by the Fly Tigers when they were flying at low altitudes before. If a group of Fly Tiger Knights are trained, they will be able to have a certain low-altitude air defense capability, even if it cannot keep up with the recent battle, it will also be useful in the future.
Although the Fly Tigers were quick and smart, they were ambushed by a trap set by the God Envoy King's army, and 13 of them were captured alive. These fly-tiger captives were tied up and transported to the mainland by the dragonfly transport team. What awaited them was the domestication of the ants.
The protagonist has experience in domesticating Tempest, and the relevant information package has been passed to the scientific research department. It is nothing more than a combination of punishment and temptation. The ants have no shortage of meat that fly tigers like, and they also have sharp jaws. Taming this group of fly tigers may be possible It's just a matter of time.

On May 29, the Flying Knights detected that the Pavement Ant Imperial Army had assembled in the northern area [North Pine City] and began to move south one after another.
Although the enemy's "mosquito" troops cannot be easily provoked, the flying knight troops have also learned to be smart and do not engage in direct combat with the enemy. They still conduct aerial reconnaissance every day. Once a "mosquito" is discovered, they will turn around and speed up to get rid of them.
The horizontal flying speed of the fly mount is beyond the reach of the "mosquito". As long as it is not approached, the flying knight is safe.
The Flying Knight found out: The Pavement Ant Empire's army of one million troops was dispatched this time, divided into five columns and advancing. The main force formation was more than 200 meters long from beginning to end, which was extremely spectacular.
At the forefront, the red fire ant army is the vanguard, followed by several groups of troops from the pavement ant empire. The two wings are dominated by troops from the vassal ant tribe, and a large number of transport teams at the rear are constantly carrying supplies to the front.
By this time, the weather had cleared, and it took the enemy's vanguard and other vanguard troops two days to approach the leaf-cutting ant army's defense line, while the follow-up troops were still on the way.
The leaf-cutter ant army sent a force of more than 100,000 soldiers without consulting the Angel King's army to try to defeat the enemy's vanguard.
The enemy's vanguard force belonged to the red fire ant army, numbering only 30,000. The leaf-cutter ant army had an absolute numerical advantage and was expected to win its first victory. However, when the leaf-cutter ant army and the red fire ant army were fighting and had gradually gained the upper hand, unexpectedly, a stream of ants shining silver in the sun suddenly entered the battlefield from the rear and killed the pavement ants on the front line who were guarded by thousands of soldiers. Commander, then defeated the leaf-cutter ant army in a pincer attack.
The leaf-cutter ant army retreated to the nearest tree fortress, and the red fire ant army and the pavement ant imperial army began to besiege, and an offensive and defensive battle broke out in the central defense line.
On June 1, the leaf-cutter ant army's messenger came to the fortress of the God's Envoy King's Legion and requested the God's Envoy King's Legion to send troops to fight the enemy in a certain place on June 3.
The protagonist feels that now is not the best time for a decisive battle. The enemy has come from afar and the military front is in full swing. At this time, it is a good idea to strengthen the wall and clear the field and hold on to the exhausted enemy.
But the leaf-cutter ant army has made up its mind, and the protagonist agrees. He is just a guest army, and the guest does as he pleases. What's more, if there is a decisive battle now, the coalition forces have no chance of winning. At least the comparison of the strength of the two sides is currently in favor of the coalition forces.
The current total strength of both sides is about the same. There are still many troops of the Pavement Ant Empire that have not arrived in the war zone. It is estimated that the total number of troops that can be invested by then is 600,000. In addition to the defenders left in each nest, the leaf-cutting ant army is estimated to be able to mobilize an army of 600,000. Together with the legion of the God Envoy King, it still has a small strength advantage. If all the enemy troops arrive, this strength advantage will no longer exist. This is also an important consideration for the protagonist to agree to participate in the war.
The protagonist thinks: If the combat effectiveness of the Pao Dao Ant Imperial Army is similar to that of the Pa Dao Ant Barbarian Army, this battle can be fought! ! !
