To the north of the civilized ant area where the Ant Alliance is located, across the mountains and forests, is another brand-new world.
This is a barren land. Surrounded by lush forestland in the surrounding mountains, there is actually a large area of natural gravel land formed by wildfires, soil erosion and weathering in the basin. The area is quite large.
This place seems to be an oasis in the desert, snow-capped mountains in the tropics, and hot springs on the frozen soil. It is incompatible with the surrounding environment and yet strange. I have to admire the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
The barren basin desert is one of the last remaining strongholds of the civilized ant tribe in the 22nd Contact Tree area.
Under an unknown cold-resistant tree in the gravel ground, there are several small entrances and exits, a common pattern of insect nests and ant nests.
Entering through the entrance and exit, you can indeed see the ants without going very far.
These ants actually stayed very close to the entrance of the cave. The temperature here was less than ten degrees, and both the leafcutter ants and the bearded ants were frozen.
They were guards, guarding the entrance to the cave, not letting up just because it was winter. Because their enemy ants will not give up even in winter...
In this nest, in addition to the native Matakopa bearded ants, there is also a clan of "Holy Tree Guardians" in this area.
The countries of these leafcutter ants and the sacred trees were destroyed by the demon ants. The remaining ants of the Ginkgo leafcutter ant empire fled here to receive shelter and were planning a counterattack.
The Matakopa bearded ants, which have lived here for generations, protect the last remaining leaf-cutter ants. The desert is the protector of the bearded ants.
Before winter, the offensive from the devil ants became more and more intense. The bearded ants abandoned the mountains outside the desert and returned to their hometown where they emerged, hoping to use the barren and desolate terrain to hold back the enemy ants and recreate a miracle.
Many, many years ago, the bearded ant clan also faced such a desperate situation. Another ant clan claiming to be the orthodox Poison God inheritance, the barbaric Matabele ants, once attacked here in large numbers.
The Matabele ants appeared in front of the Matakopasu ant nation after annihilating the civilization ants of the sharp-tailed ants, the inheritance of the insect god who used the fallen termites.
With the remaining power of the victory, the Matabele ants invaded with an army of hundreds of thousands. These Matabele ants use poison as much as the Matakopa bearded ants. Their warriors are 15mm long, twice as long as the bearded ant warriors, and are more powerful and good at fighting.
At that time, the Xuant clan was not as powerful as it is now, and was at a disadvantage. The Matakopa bearded ant warriors retreated step by step, and only a few civilized ant tribes ever supported them, including the Ginkgo leafcutter ant empire.
Finally, the Matakopa bearded ants retreated into the desert, dealing with the invading Matabele ants in the scorching hot ground in midsummer, with no hope of victory in sight.
Matabele ants are also adapted to deserts, but they prefer the edges of the desert where there is some vegetation and prey, rather than the depths of the desert where it is so hot that it is difficult to gain a foothold.
Matakopa bearded ants took advantage of this, intentionally or unintentionally, to attract the main enemy ants deep into the desert, cutting off the enemy's channels for transporting food and water. Finally, at noon on an extremely hot day, the weak defeated the strong and were completely eliminated. defeated the opponent's army.
This was the pinnacle battle in the history of the Matakopa bearded ants, and its story has been passed down for hundreds of years.
After this battle, the once powerful Matabele Ant Empire was wiped out. Matakopa Bearded Ant successfully defended the name of the Poison God's inheritance, and also greatly expanded its power, taking over the surrounding areas of the desert and the Matabele Ant Kingdom's homeland. Pocket it.
Now, the Bearded Ant clan once again faces a powerful enemy. After a decisive struggle with the strength of the whole country failed, they lost all their territory outside the desert and can only hope to create miracles again in this desert.
This is the deepest part of the desert, a nest under a tree, with a water source deep underground. It is one of the few places where ants can survive in the harsh desert.
This is the sacred place where the Matakopa bearded ant family started, and it has once again become their main nest.
When the figure of the Destroyer suddenly burst into the nest, the leaders of the bearded ant clan and the resident leafcutter ant clan knew that the desert had not created a miracle this time.
Perhaps all the sand nests in the periphery have fallen. At this time, the desert in winter has lost its hot microclimate barrier. The untimely snowfall a while ago has also made the hard-to-find water sources in the desert ubiquitous.
Devil ants, these enemy ants that cannot be stopped in winter, just lucky enough to break through the natural chasm and attack the city! ! !

Deep underground, fighting broke out in every passage and every nest room.
The heroic bearded ant warrior has a handsome golden carapace and a vicious method that belies his appearance. They stabbed the stingers hard into the devil ants, and the venom was injected instantly.
The huge demon ant could not resist such strong poison and immediately collapsed to the ground and died. This is the venom that can knock down prey a thousand times larger than the bearded ant, the king of ant poisons.
Even though one was knocked down, there was still a flood of demon ants pouring in. The enemy ants surged in like an occasional flood in the desert.
Relying on the terrain, the bearded ant warriors could barely block the incoming demon ants, and had to retreat until the venom was exhausted.
But once the small demon ant with a white belly appears, accompanied by a terrifying huge explosion, the defense line of the bearded ants will be immediately destroyed.
The more than 100,000 last bearded ant warriors can only fill the gap with their flesh and blood. They have no retreat, the ground is dripping with water and turns to ice, and behind them are the last people.
In the midst of the chaos, a third group of ants broke into the battle formation.
This is a group of leaf-cutting ants of varying sizes, ranging from individuals as huge as demon ants to individuals as small as eggs, all have joined the battle group.
The leaf-cutting ant warriors cooperated tacitly, with the large warriors containing the demon ants, and the small warriors taking the opportunity to attack the weak points. Although there is no highly toxic method that can kill enemy ants immediately, their arrival gives the bearded ants, whose physical strength, morale and venom have reached their limits, a chance to breathe.
At this time, deeper underground, dozens of bearded ant elders were communicating with the queens of the few remaining leaf-cutting ants.
"The last leafcutter ant warriors have joined the battle!"
"Too few, the devil ants are as numerous as the sand outside and as violent as a sandstorm!"
"There is no way to contact reinforcements!"
"Where are the reinforcements from the Argentine Ant Tribe?"
"No news, it's winter, we can't come..."
"Just die in this holy land!"
"You can hide!"
"The Bearded Ant never hides!"
"Leave the resurrected ant eggs, just like the last Matabele ant invasion!"
"I didn't use the last resort last time!"
"The Restoration Room is nothing but a legend..."
"That is also our clan's last hope!"
"The bearded ants can die in battle, but the guardians of the sacred tree should live and tell other areas."
"The messenger has already set off. Our mission has been completed. We are willing to fight to the death with the Bearded Ant Tribe!"
"For the Poison God!"
"For the tree god!"
"For the gods!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
