After following a roundabout force to the left flank, "White Point" and his regiment did not go out to fight for several days and stayed in the camp.
In the past few days, "White Point" finally adapted to the bloody rhythm on the battlefield. His mood, from his fledgling desire to gain fame, to being quickly frightened by the cruel reality, and then gradually regaining his confidence and eager to make achievements again, was like a wave.
"White Point" can regain its confidence, which is largely due to "White Belly".
The two male ants both came out of the "cave" and were in the same Duke's faction before. Although they were both at the bottom of the male ants in the faction, they still knew each other. At this time, there are as many male ants as grass on this battlefield, and most of them are strangers. There is a natural feeling of closeness among the familiar male ants.
"White Belly" is older than "White Point", but it is also limited. However, he has fought before when he attacked [Beisong City], and it was a clean victory. Later, the "White Belly" legion did not experience too many frightening defeats, and the morale of the "White Belly" was always very high.
Although there were some unclear situations that led to him being "assigned" to the outflank unit, "White Belly" was still full of confidence. He had also made contributions in the flank unit before, and now that he was back on the flank, there was nothing to be depressed about. Maybe next time the credit will come soon!
After not attacking for several days, and being in the same garrison nest, "White Belly" came every day to interact with "White Spot" tentacle-to-tentacle.
"White Belly"'s optimism quickly infected "White Point".
Moreover, "White Belly" is not only optimistic, he is also a very well-informed male ant. He has connections with many high-level male ants and can obtain a lot of information.
Every day, messengers from the "White Belly" legion came in and out of the camp. The latest news from outside was conveyed to "White Belly", and "White Belly" told "White Point".
This information is much more detailed and interesting than the military report passed down by the Viscount.
"White Point" learned the latest progress of the war situation from it. After learning that the entire army lived up to expectations and finally gained the advantage, he finally came out of the confusion of the previous two days.
"White Belly" told him: The Marquis who commanded the "Mosquito" troops was severely punished by the Duke, the supreme commander of the Southern Expedition, because the opponent's "flies" kept harassing the air and the "Mosquito" troops were never able to gain air supremacy. The enemy cannot be restrained.
"White Belly" told him: The forward troops have repelled the enemy, and the enemy is now trapped in a ground lair. Our army has surrounded this enemy lair.
One day later, "White Belly" told "White Point" again: The imperial army suffered heavy losses when besieging the enemy's nest. The enemy had a weapon that made a loud noise. It was very strange that our army suffered casualties inexplicably. But it doesn't matter, that kind of weapon has limited power, and the Imperial Army will still win.
In addition, the "mosquito" troops were deployed in full force, but still failed to gain air superiority. The enemy's "flies" were always elusive and could not be caught.
Another day passed, and the information from "White Belly" continued to arrive in a timely manner: the Imperial Army had surrounded the enemy's nest and attacked in batches. "White Belly" was very optimistic. The tree battle in the initial attack on [North Pine City] was also difficult, but the Pavement Ant Imperial Army still won the final victory. Now hundreds of thousands of troops are besieging this enemy nest [Panxia City]. Even if it takes a little longer, victory and military merit will always be achieved.
For several days in a row, the battle situation seemed to be developing in a direction that was conducive to the Ant Empire Army. The Ant Alliance Army was surrounded in [Panxia City]. Except for the "Flies", no enemy troops dared to come out to fight in the field. They could only Pingcheng defended it and seemed to have no power to counterattack.
But just when "White Point" thought that his roundabout troops would be of no use and could not earn military merit, the order from his superior Viscount suddenly came that day, ordering all the armies to set off immediately.
"White Point" hurriedly asked the messenger to collect the teams and assemble on the ground. He ran to find "White Belly" and wanted to know why he was suddenly so anxious to attack!
"White Belly" was also a little confused. He sent a messenger to ask his source - a count. But before waiting for a reply, all legions were ordered to set off immediately! "White Spot" and "White Belly" also had to be dispatched.
After setting off, the Viscount's battle order came down: he wanted each legion to disperse and look for traces of an enemy army. Once discovered, he would hold them back and wait for friendly forces to gather and besiege them.
There are thousands of "mosquitoes" flying in the sky. These "mosquitoes" are divided into groups of hundreds and dozens of groups, flying like crazy in the air, sometimes flying from east to west, sometimes flying from south to north.
"White Spot" became more and more confused, what happened to these "mosquitoes"! ?
His legion and a silver ant army searched together, but this area was nothing but grass and shrubs. After a long time, no enemies were found at all.
Unknowingly, the silver ant army was faster and lost touch with the "White Dot" army. The "White Dot" army could only wander alone in the wilderness without knowing its purpose.
We encountered ants constantly on the way, but they were all ants from the pavement ant empire. Those on the ground were the pavement ant empire's own army, silver ants, burrowing ants or Ehrlich's ants. Yellow ants were often seen in the trees. and the client ants, such as the abdominal ants.
The "White Point" legion exchanged information with some friendly forces, and finally knew the reason for today's large-scale dispatch...
Last night, an enemy force suddenly appeared behind the Imperial Army and attacked a garrison nest, killing many ants inside. The most important thing is that there was a marquis in this lair who died on the spot!
The enemy also stole a batch of grain and fodder. This lair was one of dozens of grain-harvesting lairs in the rear and contained more grain and fodder. The enemy even contaminated the food that could not be taken away with feces and urine. The contaminated food was obviously inedible!
The death of the Marquis under his command made His Excellency the Duke very angry. No Marquis has been killed in the Pavement Ant Empire for a long time.
The Duke calculated that the enemy army that appeared in the rear could not have returned to the surrounded enemy nest. First of all, the distance was too far, and our camp was very tightly surrounded by the enemy nest. There were also a small number of sentries outside at night, and no enemy was seen returning. nest.
The Duke speculated that the enemy was hiding in the wild, and there might be enemy nests nearby that had not been discovered by the "Mosquito" troops before, so he dispatched a large number of legions to conduct a comprehensive search.
The monotonous search continued until dusk, but nothing was found. The "White Spot" repeatedly looked up at the sky, and the "Mosquito" unit also found nothing and never issued a warning.
When I returned to the station that night, "White Belly" came to find him. His information was consistent with what "White Point" had found out on his own, but the details were richer.
After a tiring day, "Bai Dian" received today's grain at the station and ordered his subordinates to share it. He quickly drank a drop of water and began to take a nap.
