The black fire ant army stationed in place was completely wiped out, but they bought time for the retreating troops.
After occupying the nest of the original fire ant family, the parasitic ants began to rest, eat and purify, and did not pursue the victory for the time being.
The retreating black fire ant army was also troubled by endless parasitic outbreaks along the way. Fortunately, there was no interference from external enemies. As long as they took strict precautions and decisively executed the infected ants, the black fire ant army still controlled the situation.
This remnant army retreated to a larger nest in the rear. A group of ants rushed from the main nest [Black Fire City] and used the methods of preventing and treating corrupted bacteria learned from the memory ants from their ancestors to treat them with flames. Some ants with milder symptoms.
Zhu Jue originally discovered that flame burning can treat parasitic bacteria in his hometown. In fact, most civilized ant tribes have mastered it many, many years ago, and have preserved it from generation to generation through memory ants, and now it is put to use again. .
In this battle, the Black Fire Ant Army suffered considerable losses, but it was not to the point of being damaged. As the overlord of this region, the war potential of the Black Fire Ant Nation has not been weakened. Facing the legendary fallen ants, the Black Fire Ant Nation carried out its first comprehensive mobilization in hundreds of years, and hundreds of thousands of troops began to gather in the main nest.
Fallen ants, like demon ants, are natural enemies that the civilized ant tribe must deal with. This responsibility is unavoidable, and the war machine of the Black Fire Ant Nation begins to operate.
————
The envoys of the black fire ant clan rode on the flying fire bees of their clan, which are not good at flying far away, and first arrived at the [Holy Tree City] of the leafcutter ant country, and then transferred to the giant dragonfly of the hairy forest ant clan's caravan, and quickly News of the massive invasion of fallen ants was conveyed to the ant allies of various civilizations, causing an uproar.
Zhu Jue also quickly received the news. He immediately terminated his inspection at the canal construction site on the south bank of Qinghe River and flew back to [Xinyang City] to take charge.
In the information package provided by the black fire ant messenger, Zhu Jue was particularly shocked by the image of the parasitic big-headed ants equipped with bronze jaw knives and armor. He knew that these must be the deployments of the old God Envoy King's legions that were trapped in the swamp. This was not the first time he had seen this scene, and it reminded him of his solo flight to his homeland many years ago. …
But the swamp is far away from the black fire ant country. Why and why these parasitic ants suddenly invaded here are worth thinking about!
What's even more troublesome is that the Black Fire Ant Country and the Ant Alliance Country are closely bordered. If the Black Fire Ant Country cannot resist the parasitic ants, the Ant Alliance Country will face the enemy directly and may fall into a two-front war in the future.
Judging from the intelligence, there were a lot of invading parasitic ants. They arrived here all the way from the swamp. They devoured many creatures and ant forces along the way. There may be more reinforcements behind them.
The God's Envoy Army is not afraid of parasitic ants. Although a large number of troops got trapped in the swamp for unknown reasons, before, the God's Envoy Army still won more than it lost when facing the parasitic ants.
With sophisticated equipment and advanced military concepts, as long as the difference in numbers is not too large, the God Envoy King's Army can surely gain the upper hand against the parasitic ants, unlike dealing with the heaven-defying Destroyer.
But the current situation is that once a large number of parasitic ants defeat the Black Fire Ant Nation, they can directly threaten the south bank of Qinghe River in the Ant Alliance Nation. This is Zhu Jue's originally planned safe rear area and does not plan to station a large number of troops.
The main enemy of the Ant Alliance is still in the north. It is the Pavement Ant Empire, the destroyer that can move south at any time. The north bank of Qinghe River is the top priority for defense, where the main force of the God Envoy King's army is concentrated.
If the south bank of the Qinghe River encounters a serious threat, the Divine Envoy King's army will be forced to fight on two fronts and will no longer have a stable rear and the Qinghe River moat. Such disadvantages are obvious.
It can be said that the sudden appearance of parasitic ants was the last thing Zhu Jue expected to see, and it happened so suddenly.
Fortunately, the Destroyer has not yet entered this area. Zhu Jue knows that he must eliminate the threat of parasitic ants to the territory on the south bank of Qinghe River in the Ant Alliance as soon as possible.
Soon, he made a decision, hoping that through diplomatic efforts, the black fire ants would agree to allow the civilized ant troops to enter the black fire ant country to assist in operations. This has the precedent of various tribes going on an expedition to support the Leafcutter Ant Nation and the Ant Alliance Nation the year before. The Black Fire Ant Nation should be psychologically more accepting of this.
However, at present, the Black Fire Ant Nation is only warning other countries and has not asked for help. They are a very proud ant tribe, and it is not easy to make them lose face.
Even at this time, representatives of the Black Fire Ants were still accusing the Ant United Nations of having something to do with the fallen ants. Otherwise, why would there be fallen warriors of the Envoy King? Their armament style was too obvious.
Zhu Jue soon made the origins of the Ant Alliance known to the public. They drifted from their homeland after being oppressed by demon ants, and a large number of troops were attacked by fallen ants. The Leaf Cutting Ant Nation had known this before, and had no idea about other civilized ant tribes. There's nothing to hide. This initially dispelled the doubts of various countries.
The Leafcutter Ant Nation is organizing the first civilized ant conference in the 11th year of the New Calendar to discuss the sudden appearance of fallen ants and discuss countermeasures. This meeting will not be held until the end of March. Spring has just begun and all ethnic groups are very busy, so it will take a little later to gather representatives from all ethnic groups.
Zhu Jue did not wait. He sent "Xiaofan", the deputy of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade "Xiaohua", to the Black Fire Ant Nation to express that the Ant Alliance was willing to provide military and material support.
After the meeting of kings of the Black Fire Ant Country received the envoy, they were very surprised by the overtures of goodwill from the United Ant Nation. The relationship between the two parties deteriorated very quickly last year. Such a U-turn in attitude made it difficult for the kings of the Black Fire Ant Country to turn around.
"Flying Eagle" firmly believed that the fallen God Envoy King must have a conspiracy, but when faced with the support list proposed by "Xiaofan", the black fire ant kings were drooling and could not listen to "Flying Eagle"'s sincere advice. Hesitantly and reluctantly, he agreed.
Because, even if the Black Fire Ant Nation does not agree to the Ant Alliance country sending troops to support the country, Zhu Jue also said that the Ant Alliance Nation is willing to immediately provide enough food for 100,000 ants for a month, 10,000 sets of gravel weapons and leather armor, and 100 snail shells of crow wine. massive supplies.
Money moves the hearts of ants, so there is no reason for the Black Fire Ant Country to refuse.
Zhu Jue is not just trying to make money. He hopes that the Black Fire Ant Kingdom can stop the parasitic ants and prevent it from collapsing. After all, the conflict with the Black Fire Ant Country is an internal conflict within the civilized ant clan, while the parasitic ants are an external conflict and the main conflict.
The Ant United Kingdom did not suffer too much. Food is rich in the Ant United Kingdom. After a winter of storage, a lot of it has become moldy and spoiled. It is still barely edible. However, the ant people in the Ant United Kingdom who have abundant food definitely don’t like to eat it. Originally It is also the end result of being used as feed and fertilizer.
The Gravel Weapons and Leather Armor God Envoy King’s Legion are not equipped either, they are all export products. Crow wine is also a purely export product.
These ant alliances are completely affordable and will not consume too much national power.
