The crickets singing in autumn are extremely sad. In the noisy and sad chirping of insects, the darkness gradually recedes, and the white fish belly appears in the east.
The golden morning sun gradually rose half way up from the horizon. The already cold night finally ushered in the first glimmer of warmth today at the bleakest dawn.
Flying in the air, the cold wind is still cold, constantly taking away heat from the body. The protagonist was fine, but "Little Black" was obviously very uncomfortable when he sat down. He was pulled out of the warm underground fly stable and plunged into the darkness before it was bright. Even just a fly felt it. Very upset.
The protagonist didn't care about its feelings, and held on to the reins tightly, letting the mount move quickly according to his own intention. Even the howling cold wind could not stop him from moving forward.
If it weren't for the fact that today's battle was extremely important, the sources of the troops that made up the ambush force were extremely complex, and there was a lack of a prestigious commander, the protagonist would not have had to rush over here in a hurry.
Faced with a war that was related to the fate of the country, the protagonist decided to appear on the battlefield to give the army confidence. Yesterday he returned to receive a new batch of waterway reinforcements that had just arrived, and he set off in a hurry today before dawn.
He is the King of Gods, the King of Battle, and the King of Victory! Wherever he appears, the generals seem to have a backbone and their fighting spirit will be high.
At dawn, the protagonist, escorted by two combat flying knights, quietly arrived at the scheduled battlefield. In order to prevent being discovered by enemy reconnaissance troops or "mosquitoes", he did not dare to take more guards and took a detour.
At this time, on the ground, in the highlands at both ends of the ravine, the Divine Envoy King's legions and allied troops had come out of their caves one after another. The messengers of the Divine Envoy King's legion were wandering around, guiding each legion to the designated location.
Countless ants lurk in the grass or in the shadows of rocks. Even if the enemy's "mosquitoes" suddenly appear, it will be difficult to detect anything unusual on the ground.
It's just that some leaf-cutter ant warriors didn't enter their scheduled locations on time and were still sheltering from the cold in the camp.
This ambush coalition is composed of multiple forces.
The core are the 20 legions of the Divine Envoy King warriors. Half of these Divine Envoy King warriors were originally stationed in the fortress as a defensive force in the middle; the other 7 legions were drawn from the defense line, where military pressure is not currently being exerted. ;The remaining 3 legions come from other nests. Basically, all the mobile troops of the Divine Envoy King's army are gathered here.
The person responsible for commanding this legion of the Divine Envoy King is "Gun II". He is also the commander of the only tank corps. He is also the oldest general in this Legion of the Divine Envoy King and has participated in the most wars.
Originally, the protagonist authorized him to command the leaf-cutter ant army and other allied forces, but "Gun II" was still too young, and the queen of the leaf-cutter ant army did not pay attention to his orders. This is also the direct reason why the protagonist decided to take charge personally.
The largest number among the coalition forces is the leaf-cutter ant army, which numbered 140,000. They were temporarily dispersed and assigned to the various armies of the God Envoy King to follow and fight together.
Finally, there are about 2,000 other civilized ant warriors. The composition is very complex, including sharp-tailed ants, thin-legged ants, and blind leaf-cutter ants that arrived by air. They also include black fire ants and marching ants that arrived by water not long ago. ant. At present, the reinforcements from the two tribes of Sang's flat-headed ants and bullet ants just arrived yesterday and could not catch up with this battle. This group of troops was placed next to "Gun II" and used as a reserve force.
After the protagonist arrived, "Gun II" immediately handed over the command and concentrated on commanding his tank corps.
The protagonist also immediately used his prestige to make the leaf-cutting ant army obey immediately.

At the entrance of the gully, a large number of pavement ant warriors emerged from the ant tunnel under the dense grass.
After the sun fully rose, these pavement ant warriors lazily emerged from their temporary camp last night and warmed themselves up in the sun. Then they gathered together and embarked on the road to the west in accordance with the instructions of the Duke and other nobles.
At the current speed, they will reach their destination the day after tomorrow.
The scout troops of the Pavement Ant Imperial Army tapped the ground with different tentacles, quickly determined the route, and guided the army to the flat road at the top of the ravine.
This road is easy to walk, because there are floods every year during the rainy season, and the bottom of the gully is full of mud and sand. It is very barren and has sparse vegetation. It is much easier for large troops to move here than in the dense grassland before.
When the Pavement Ant Empire's huge, seven-eight-meter-long, crowded formation was squeezed into the ravine, not a single Pavement Ant noticed the pair of compound eyes on the high ground at both ends.
The Divine Envoy King's Legion only deployed some scythe-hunting ant scouts and divine soldier ant squad captains with good eyesight on the front line to closely monitor the enemy's movements.
The enemy was unprepared, and there were no "mosquitoes" in the air. The "mosquitoes" had joined the enemy troops outside two days ago.
The protagonist keeps receiving reports from scouts:
"The enemy's forward has entered an ambush position!"
"The enemy's center has entered an ambush position!"
"The enemy silver ant troops have entered the ambush position!"
"The enemy Ai Shiman ant troops have entered an ambush position!"
The protagonist's eyes flashed sharply at this moment, and he issued an order.
The pavement ants had no idea that the fuse had been lit just above their heads. It was not until the fire quickly spread to their side that the nearby pavement ants noticed this abnormality.
But they had no time to report the reaction. The fuse burned very quickly, and what followed was a series of deafening explosions.
Countless bombs and mysterious balls exploded one after another, some of which were not ignited by fuses, but died.
Countless pieces of gravel covering the bomb, as big as the head of a paving ant, flew in all directions, adding extra lethality to the explosion.
When the last explosion stopped, the scouts in charge of the investigation cautiously popped up. A hellish scene appeared in their eyes.
Numerous corpses of enemy ants lay at the bottom of the ravine. Most of the corpses were incomplete, with limbs or legs missing, or heads and waists broken. Many of the corpses were deeply embedded with the gravel that killed them.
There are more ants struggling with injuries.
There were ten to twenty thousand pavement ants and client ants killed or injured, which was not a high proportion. The explosion site arranged by the Divine Envoy King's Army was too primitive, and the fuses had limited reliability. As many as one-third of the bombs were not detonated. .
But this huge series of explosions, which the ant civilization has never seen before, has completely paralyzed the enemy and caused chaos.
Not many enemy ants were directly killed or injured, but all the ants were frightened by the huge explosion nearby. No matter they were nobles, warriors or vassals, they were all panicked.
Without command and reason, the 400,000 enemy troops turned into a ball of loose sand, fleeing in all directions, or even just spinning around in panic.
At this time, the legion of the Divine Envoy King and the allies, who had been lying in wait for a long time, came down from the high ground!
