As the Green Infantry Armor of the Pavement Ant Empire officially broke into the battlefield, the pressure on the coalition's left wing increased dramatically.
The armies of the various ethnic groups on the left were not large in number. They formed small formations and relied on their unique tactics to defend. Fortunately, there were not many attacking enemy ants, and the positions of each ethnic group could still hold up.
But things were different once the Qingbujia entered the battle. Most of the isolated small formations on the left flank of the coalition forces could not withstand the fierce impact of the Qingbujia.
The first to bear the brunt is the army of Thin-footed Ants. Their army is relatively loose. They move around in groups of three or five flexibly, constantly dividing the originally tight formation of the Pavement Ant Empire soldiers, and then use Use the advantage of individual combat effectiveness to kill.
The strict formation of the Pavement Ant Empire Army is not suitable for this style of play. There are not enough of them to surround the Thin-legged Ant Army and then destroy it. They can only watch the Thin-legged Ant Army keep wandering and returning. The slug is still slippery.
As soon as the Green Infantry Armor arrived, the speed advantage of the Thin-footed Ant Army was gone, and of course they collapsed. Fortunately, they were fast, and the troops behind them quickly retreated, saving the main force.
As soon as the slender-footed ants withdrew, the flanks of the army formation were exposed, and the green beetles immediately attacked them.
The fighting method of army ants is similar to that of slender-legged ants. When they have the upper hand, they will flood the opponent with a sea of ants. When the troops are at a disadvantage, they use skilled combat groups to move around and cooperate with each other to divide and kill enemy ants.
Even the army ants, which are known for their toughness within the civilized ant tribe, could not withstand the assault of nearly a hundred green infantry and thousands of accompanying infantry, and quickly retreated in defeat.
In the end, the left-wing coalition relied on the fierce fighting of the completely different blind leaf-cutting ants and Sanshi flat-headed ants to stabilize the front with huge casualties.
The giant soldier ants of the completely different blind leaf-cutting ants blocked the front like a shield wall, absorbing the impact of the green walking armor with their flesh and blood, blocking the enemy frontally. However, the completely different blind leaf-cutting ant warriors also suffered heavy losses, with half of them killed in battle.
As a long-range firepower output, the Sand's flat-headed ants cooperate with the defense of the completely different blind leaf-cutting ants, and they constantly self-destruct in front of the crumbling defense line to offset the advance of the Green Foot Armor.
The army of marching ants and the thin-footed ants also returned to the battlefield and counterattacked from both sides, only to contain the Qing Jia's attack.
The Pavement Ant Imperial Army's Green Infantry Army failed to completely defeat the coalition's left wing. Instead, they lost more than a dozen of their own. They began to retreat in the afternoon, and the coalition's crumbling left wing finally stabilized.
Before dusk, the coalition forces and the Pavement Ant Imperial Army, who had been fighting fiercely all day, finally began to break away from contact with a tacit understanding and returned to their camps, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
In today's ground battle, the situation between the two armies is roughly 50:50:
The leaf-cutting ant army's central army was at a disadvantage, losing tens of thousands of people in one day, but it was not broken and the enemy ants did not achieve the tactical goal of breaking through the center.
The left wing of the coalition performed brilliantly, blocking the inevitable Qingrujia raid by the Pavement Ant Empire. However, the losses were huge. In total, one-third of the soldiers were killed or injured, which has seriously affected the subsequent combat effectiveness.
The Angel King's army on the right wing performed well as always. Relying on long-range firepower and tank assaults, it once tore apart the Pavement Ant Empire army in front of them today, surrounded and ate part of the enemy army, and caused incomparable damage to the enemy. The leaf-cutter ant army is small.
The Pavement Ant Imperial Army on the opposite side lost a total of about 20,000 ants today, as well as more than a dozen green beetles and hundreds of "mosquitoes". The number of battle losses was greater than that of the coalition forces, but the proportion was similar.
There was also a fight today underground in [Beisong City]. The "wisdom elder" saw the clues from the fact that the coalition forces did not launch an attack for two consecutive days and guessed the arrival of reinforcements, so today the red fire ant army decisively launched a counterattack.
But this time the fire ant army's performance was unremarkable. They seemed to have not recovered from the last counterattack with heavy casualties. The intensity of the attack was not large and not many troops were invested.
The sharp-tailed ants occupy several favorable passes and can set up narrow positions, effectively blocking the offensive of the red fire ant army and preventing the opponent's numerical advantage from being used.
The more than four hundred flat-headed ants that have been strengthened for the sharp-tailed ant army provide stronger long-range firepower than the enemy ants, as well as self-destruction at critical moments. Their achievements are no less than that of the sharp-tailed ants.

Before nightfall, all armies silently licked their wounds in their lairs, conserving their strength to fight again tomorrow.
Both sides know that the other side is not injured, and there will definitely be a battle waiting for them tomorrow. Unless one side retreats, the battle is likely to last for many days.
On the ground, only a few ants responsible for cleaning the battlefield were working. Ants from both sides occasionally encountered each other when collecting corpses. They all tacitly understood that they would flee as soon as they touched each other, and no fight broke out.
Corpses were lying on the battlefield, and the two armies each sent thousands of ants to clean the battlefield, and each carried the corpses back to use as food reserves.
Thanks to the assistance from the Ant Alliance, the coalition forces are not short of food for the time being, but the commander of the leaf-cutter ant army knows that he is well prepared. This siege of [North Pine City] does not know how long it will last. It is always good to have more food. of.
The Pavement Ant Empire army rarely eats corpses, but this time they marched lightly and without food. Now they cannot break the siege and cannot get food supplements from the Red Fire Ant Empire, so they can only feed on corpses in a very embarrassing way.
But this is also the norm in Ant World War!

Before nightfall, the flying knights flying from the south arrived at the coalition camp outside [Beisong City].
At the same time, another flying knight arrived at [Holy Tree City].
The queen ant conference, female ant conference, and the best commanders of the coalition forces in the leaf-cutter ant country received a note from the ant alliance almost at the same time:
The Angel King's Legion will no longer participate in tomorrow's battle and will withdraw from the battlefield at the same time!
This made the leafcutter ant domestic and military leaders furious, but their grievances were directed at the black fire ant country!
Because, the God's Envoy King's Legion gave a legitimate reason to withdraw their troops, and this was all thanks to the Black Fire Ant Kingdom!
The queen ant conference and female ant conference of the leaf-cutter ant country quickly decided to convene a simple civilized ant clan conference as soon as possible and once again summon the local envoys of each clan.
They tried to find a solution through the conference. On the one hand, they could appease the Divine Envoy King's army and prevent this new force from withdrawing. On the other hand, the conference must also discuss how to deal with this incident, which is a rare event in history.
As the guardians of the sacred tree, the leafcutter ant clan has the longest inherited memory in the region. They know that this matter cannot be taken lightly, otherwise it is likely to turn into a split within the civilized ant clan.
Even this means the beginning of a new round of "barbarism"...
The leaf-cutter ants saw a figure from a long time ago in a certain ant clan, and they are slowly overlapping with it...
