On the outside of [Western City], the black fire ant army surrounded this solid fortress layer by layer.
Today is already the fourth day of the siege. The black fire ant army has never been able to break into the city wall. Instead, artillery shells hit the black fire ant army camp from the city walls and towers every day, forcing the black fire ant army to attack the camp. He retreated more than a meter.
The current Black Fire Ant Army military camp is only divided into six small camps outside [Western City], each of which is independent and loosely surrounds the entire [Western City].
If it weren't for the defenders of the Divine Envoy King's legion who didn't want to leave, there would be such a huge gap between the camps that patrols alone wouldn't be able to stop the breakout.
The person who commanded this army and set up this loose camp was a black fire ant male king named "Hei Tan".
Ever since the god of fire issued an oracle and made a big-headed ant become the envoy king, the aristocratic system in the country of black fire ants has been changed. The male ants have been divided into two classes: kings and kings. Among the kings, there are 500 kings. The "King's Conference" was formed.
The black fire ant males did not oppose this reform, even if some of them were not convinced by the Big-headed Ant God King, but because such a reform did not harm the interests of most male ants, many male ants were upgraded. So it passed successfully.
Especially those male ants who entered the "King Meeting" expressed their support. "Black Carbon" is a supporter of reform, and he is also fortunate to enter the highest authority of the expanded Black Fire Ant Country.
Although he had felt that he would become a high-ranking person ever since he broke out of his pupa, his natural body color, as black as coal, was the envy of countless male ants, and he was definitely not an ordinary ant at first glance.
But when this day of truth came, "Heitan" was still happy from the bottom of his heart, and he unconsciously had more support for the alien king.
Just yesterday, a new order from the Alien God Envoy King was conveyed after being approved by the "King's Council". The Alien God Envoy King asked the frontline troops to conquer [Western City] as soon as possible and at the same time be prepared for the counterattack of the fallen God Envoy King's forces.
"Hei Tan" was a little unhappy. This was his first attack as an army commander. Unexpectedly, he was unable to capture this fortress, and he somewhat lost his identity. However, he was very dissatisfied when the alien god envoy king pointed it out in front of all the members of the "King's Council". The original gratitude towards "Flying Eagle" has disappeared without a trace.
This time the envoy came with reinforcements, including 1,500 big-headed ant warriors, commanded by the "Stubborn King". "Heitan" simply threw him and all the big-headed ant warriors in the army, a total of 4,500, to the east. Go to the camp, out of sight.
That is the place where the minions of the fallen God Envoy King are most likely to launch an attack. Let you big-headed ants attack it yourself when the time comes - "Hei Tan" thought with some malicious intent.
He is not worried at all about the counterattack of the Ant Alliance. "Black Carbon", which has just made a splash in the war against the invading termites, has strong confidence in the combat effectiveness of its own army.

After the "Stubborn King" gained command of the remaining soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army from all three legions in the army, he immediately and conscientiously set up the defense of the camp.
With his efforts, the Northern Expeditionary Army left the eastern camp alone and built a camp under a nearby boulder, which was at the horns of the original camp.
The "Stubborn King" is now one of the three giants of the Northern Expeditionary Army, replacing the "Public Security King" who died of old age a while ago. Relying on his own status and Dragon Eagle's status as the Divine Envoy King in the Black Fire Ant Kingdom. The "Stubborn King" also successfully won over 1,000 abdominal ants and a similar number of burrowing ants under his command.
The "Stubborn King" is very good at deploying defenses. The camp he chose is built in the gap at the bottom of the stone, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can echo the main camp from a distance.
He also kept in mind what "Flying Eagle" had told him before. After that "Night of Strange Fire", he had become a loyal supporter of "Flying Eagle" and almost obeyed her words.
As required, he spread a large number of abdominal ants and burrowing ants onto nearby trees and ground as scouts to guard against any raids by the minions of the Fallen God Envoy King.
In the camp, the most elite regiment of the Northern Expeditionary Army was on standby day and night, ready to fight at any time.
This legion was armed by "Flying Eagle" using his influence and relying on the weapons and equipment obtained from teaching the Black Fire Ant Nation to learn gravel crafts and leather kneading crafts. These elite big-headed ant soldier ants are all equipped with gravel weapons and covered with soft and tough insect skin cloaks, which can play a certain defensive role.
Nowadays, the elite troops of the Black Fire Ant Nation are also dressed in this way. This "leather armor army" built by the suzerain nation is also the trump card to quickly put down the invasion of termites.
With the order of the "Flying Eagle" Divine Envoy King, the "Stubborn King" and his troops were not able to participate in the heavy-casualty battle that besieged [Western City], but focused on guarding against attacks by the minions of his fallen Divine Envoy King.

On this day, the "Stubborn King" was still sitting in the Stone Seam Camp as usual, and did not even attend the legion commander meeting organized by "Black Carbon". It is not his mission to conquer [Western City], this is his reply.
The attack by the minions of the Fallen God Envoy King has been delayed, which makes the "Stubborn King" who deeply believes in "Flying Eagle"'s judgment more and more anxious. Every day, he sends two groups of messengers to report back to the mainland.
Yesterday, the God Envoy King "Flying Eagle" riding on the sovereign's precious "Fire Bee" mount arrived at the front line. After meeting with "Hei Tan", he also met with the "Stubborn King".
After receiving the new instructions, the "Stubborn King" calmed down again and continued to execute the orders.
After learning that through the planning of the Angel King "Flying Eagle", the forces of the Fallen Angel King suffered a major defeat at the Civilized Ant Tribe Conference, the "Stubborn King" felt relieved.
He conscientiously supervised the work personally, supervising his soldiers to weave the ropes brought from behind into a net and prepare to hang it on the rocks as an air defense net.
On the third day after the "Flying Eagle" left, the protective net was completed, and the originally shortcomings of the air defense force were alleviated to a certain extent.
And on this day, as dusk approached, the scouts sent out by the "Stubborn King" were returning to camp one after another, and it seemed that another day of doing nothing was about to pass.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the southeast camp, and the tentacles of the "Stubborn King" about 10 meters away were aware of it.
His heart moved, and he hurriedly sent a messenger to investigate. At the same time, he ordered the scout troops to stop returning to camp and go out for reconnaissance again, while the Big-headed Ant warriors were ordered to prepare for battle.
Not long after the scouts went out, they fled back in panic, and many of the scouts disappeared.
Behind the scout, what followed closely was the tank assault force of the God's Envoy King's Legion that was suddenly coming in with puffs of smoke and dust!
"fighting!!!"
The "Stubborn King" issued the command with breath and friction sound, and the battle he had been waiting for for a long time with the minions of the Fallen God Envoy King finally broke out!
