The next day, "White Point" led the legion and continued on their way.
In the morning, on the march map, the "mosquito" troops in the sky suddenly flew out of the warning trajectory, and the guards reminded the "white spots" to look up. It seemed that we were not far from where the enemy was, and "White Point" was a little excited.
The previous battle was basically over before "White Point" and his troops could catch up. Their legion participated in the later attack on a tree nest with few troops stationed there. The troops of the Yellow Ant clan cooperated with the opponent. They were defeated as soon as they took on the battle. The yellow ants got some heads to witness the victory, but they didn't gain any merit in battle.
This time, the Earl's troops above "White Point" were sent as vanguards. This was an easy task, and "White Point" wanted to perform well.
Of course, in addition to being easy to make meritorious deeds, forwards are also the most dangerous.
There was a harsh "buzzing" sound in the air, which was completely different from the dull and noisy flapping of the wings of the "mosquitoes" when they flew in groups.
"White Point" raised his head. It seemed like something was flying in the distance, but he couldn't see clearly from a distance.
It wasn't until the sound source flew within three meters that the "white dots" could be seen clearly. They were the enemy's "fly" troops.
The information that the enemy has "Fly" troops has already been disclosed to the commanders within the Pavilion Ant Empire Army. Seeing the "flies" coming, "White Point" was not worried at all. There were "mosquitoes" guarding its own sky. In previous battles, our "mosquitoes" had the upper hand in the confrontation.
"White Point" continued to direct the troops to move forward. He also took a few guards with great interest and approached the battle site between "Flies" and "Mosquitoes", hoping to see more clearly.
I saw about dozens of "flies" fighting in the air with hundreds of "mosquitoes" here. Those "flies" fly very fast, and the sound of their wings is more harsh. But these "flies" are very cowardly and do not dare to approach our "mosquitoes". They just fly around high and drop a bunch of spark-like weapons.
The "Mosquito" troops suffered some losses, but when the enemy's "Mars" were exhausted, the "Flies" had no choice but to retreat. The "Mosquito" troops fell behind them and kept driving the enemy away from the battlefield.
"White Point" watched the air combat for a while and found it boring. It was far less interesting than the face-to-face, jaw-to-jaw fights of our army.
He himself didn't have a good impression of the "Mosquito" group of comrades. He saw too many intimate ants in the "cave" and died for unknown reasons. He didn't even know how he left the "cave" alive. In those days of fear, it was impossible for ants like them to have any good impressions of the "alien" born in the "cave", even if they were of the same race.
"White Point" returned to the legion and continued to move forward. After walking for a long time, he felt that his limbs were quite tired. He only regretted that he was not a count yet and did not have a bright-colored armored mount to carry him.
At this time, the "Mosquito" troops in the air returned. When "White Point" looked up, they found that the number was about a quarter less than before. They didn't know what happened when they just caught up, and the losses were so huge.
Don't expect the "mosquitoes" to come down and tell the Army on their own. These "mosquitoes" look down on the Army. They are the troops directly under the Six Kings, so they can only be mobilized by the Duke!
"White Spot" didn't take the loss of "Mosquito" at all. Anyway, no enemy can stop our army. He was a little gloating about the defeat of the air force.
Marching to noon, the count ordered all 36 legions to stop, saying that the red fire ant troops in front had discovered the enemy's nest.
The army stopped to rest for a while, and the auxiliary army behind them quickly brought a batch of food, which was roasted grass seeds. "White Spot" asked the guards to look for someone, but now at noon, even the dew has long evaporated, and there are no pools nearby, unlike last night when it was easy to find water droplets seeping out of the ground.
There was no time to dig holes to find water, so the "white spots" could only be eaten dry, chewing the grass seeds into a paste with saliva and swallowing them. Ants all like to eat liquid food, and dry food must be chewed into a thin paste with drinks before they can be swallowed.
Not long after eating the dry food, the earl's messenger arrived. The "white spot" legion, another legion, and a red fire ant legion came forward to conduct fire reconnaissance.
"White Point" led his troops up. He didn't know the commander of the red fire ant army, and he didn't bother to know him. He was just a vassal!
We have a close relationship with another commander of the Pavement Ant Empire Legion. Isn't this the old male ant who woke him up with his tentacles last night?
"White Point" also looked down on the other party. This old male ant did not come from the "cave". He was still the commander of the baron army in the mixed army for so many years, and it seemed that he had no hope of promotion.
"White Point" felt that these three legions should be dominated by himself, so he sent out messengers to let the troops of the vassal countries go first to carry out the most dangerous tasks, while the other legion of the Pavement Ant Empire followed behind him.
The red fire ant army had no objections. Anyway, the male ants from any overlord country would be so bossy, so they walked in front obediently.
The other legion of paving ants didn't seem to have any objections and went to the back obediently.
"White Point" commanded three legions for the first time. He was very proud and had a sense of accomplishment.
But after a while, the commander's responsibility was relieved - the fire ant troops in front were defeated...
They had already walked into the valley road leading to [Panxia City]. The valley road was about five or six walnuts wide, and was flanked by hillsides about two or three walnuts in height. The hillsides and tops were covered with dense shrubs, including small-leaf boxwood, holly, Pyracantha and more.
The fire ant army sent scouts on both sides, and there were more than a hundred "mosquitoes" in the sky. The pavement ant army itself was not vigilant and followed the fire ant army forward in a swagger.
But somehow, without any warning, thousands of enemies suddenly rushed out from the bushes on both sides of the valley road.
"White Point" only saw that these enemies were not in a hurry to attack him, but instead quickly circled back on the hillside. By the time he came to his senses, a large number of the fire ant troops in front had already fled back.
"White Point" ordered the guards to capture an escaped red fire ant male ant team leader. After asking, he found out that they were scattered by the enemy's "beetles" in one round.
The furious "White Point" ordered his subordinates to execute the timid red imported fire ant, gather his troops, and ignore the scattered red fire ants and their vassals.
He sent a messenger to order the legions behind him to move closer to him and prepare to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.
At this time, the messenger from the rear legion arrived first. Their legion commander said that the enemy was trying to cut off the retreat and that their legion was fighting, and ordered "White Point" to lead the legion to support them.
"White Spot" was furious when he heard this: You old male ant actually ordered me!
