After the Thin-footed Ant Army won the first battle, the Destroyers in nearby places noticed it and dispatched thousands of troops straight to the battlefield. Not a single Destroyer escaped on the battlefield, and it is not known what happened to these Destroyer reinforcements. Get specific information.
At this time, the Thin-footed Ant Army was warned by the flying knights, and they quickly evacuated without caring about cleaning the battlefield. Although they were very tired after traveling all night and fighting for a long time, they were still very fast. The Destroyers were unable to catch up, and when they arrived on the battlefield, they found nothing but thousands of corpses.
After Zhu Jue returned to the base of the Thin-footed Ant Army, he was very interested in the tactics used by the Thin-legged Ant Army in the salt-alkali valley and asked "Long Horns" about it.
"Longhorn" didn't hide it. This saline-alkali land was originally controlled by the newly vassal tribe of the spiny ants. The spiny ants mined this special saline and exported it to the country of the thin-footed ants.
The Thin-footed Ant Nation has long known how to use formic acid and salt-alkali to prepare drugs. This drug can turn into a stimulant when soaked in water at a low concentration. After oral administration, the Thin-legged Ant warriors can run. You won’t feel tired all day or night, but you will easily become weak afterwards, and the weak may even die. However, when the drug concentration is high, it will cause great damage to the body and become a poison. When it is insoluble in water, it is also highly volatile.
The Spiny Ant tribe also has a unique secret technique. They use salt and alkali as raw materials and use a secret method to make a tonic, which can just make up for the physical strength of weak warriors after using stimulants, alleviate the sequelae, and reduce the mortality rate. Salt, alkali and tonics are the specialties of the spiny ant tribe.
After accepting the Bi-toothed Spiny Ant tribe as vassals, the military leaders of the Thin-footed Ant Kingdom obtained the long-awaited tonic formula and learned the specific location of the salt-alkali land, and then used this information in this battle. Terrain, achieved a victory.
This is not a sudden thought. In fact, one of the secret weapons of the Thin-footed Ant Army is to use salt-alkali crystals and formic acid to poison the battlefield. This tactic requires proficiency in technology and the ability to judge the direction of the wind. Only the most effective tactics can be used. Only smart military leaders are qualified to use it. In this battle, they just used the natural terrain to carry forward this tactic.
Zhu Jue was amazed when he learned about it. The powerful and civilized ant tribe has been passed down for thousands of years, and they always have all kinds of unique skills, many of which are unheard of. It is really a new experience.
Zhu Jue then solemnly warned "Longhorn" not to underestimate the Destroyer. This time, the Thin-footed Ant Army dispatched ten times the enemy's strength, with the help of terrain and secret weapons. Although they won, they also paid the equivalent of The enemy's casualties can only be described as a tragic victory.
"Longhorn" was more rational, and quickly calmed down from the joy of winning the first battle, and turned to other senior military leaders to discuss countermeasures.
Zhu Jue got out of the conference room and prepared to return. Before leaving the nest, he saw the thin-footed ant warriors who had been attacking and fighting for a long time returning to the nest. They were already sluggish. This was probably the sequelae of the stimulants they had taken before the attack. Some worker ants are feeding these warriors a yellow-brown liquid, which should be the tonic produced by the spiny ants.
On the ground, there were also some thin-footed warrior ants who were about to return to their nests, but they fell to the ground due to exhaustion, twitched twice and could not get up again, and the smell of oleic acid, which represented death, appeared. The worker ants of the slender-footed ants came over quickly, removed the corpses, and threw them into a nearby cemetery. They did not wait for the remains of these victorious warriors.

Zhu Jue returned to his station to continue preparing for war, and the Destroyer, who had suffered a loss, officially launched an invasion of the Thin-foot Ant Nation on May 13, two days later.
During this invasion, about 50,000 to 60,000 Destroyers left the territory of the original Sharp-tailed Ant Kingdom and passed through the buffer zone. They did not stop here and directly divided into six groups and entered the territory of the Thin-footed Ant Kingdom.
This is a tactic commonly used by Destroyers in this area. Each Destroyer may not seem to be many, but its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Ordinary ant forces cannot even resist one of them, and it is difficult for more powerful ant forces to have a chance to annihilate them. One force often loses sight of one thing and loses another under the Destroyer's multi-channel offensive. The Destroyer even finds an opportunity to combine multiple channels into one, and the entire main force is eaten up in one battle.
Facing the invasion of multiple armies of Destroyers, the main force of the Thin-footed Ant Army did not take any action at first, sitting back and watching multiple nests on the border being conquered after futile resistance.
On May 14th, the destroyers continued to penetrate deeper, and one of them approached a place about 2 days away from the base of the thin-footed ant army, but they were also scattered among themselves.
On May 15th, the Thin-footed Ant Army finally responded. After mastering detailed intelligence, they sent out several small troops, each no more than a few thousand, to fight against five of the Destroyers under the guidance of flying knights and scouts.
These thin-footed ant warriors did not confront the enemy head-on, but used their mobility to continuously induce the transfer of five groups of Destroyers, with the intention of keeping the enemy away from the last army of Destroyers.
On May 16, among the Destroyer troops that fell into the trap, the one that was considered the target of the Thin-footed Ant Army was less than half a day away from the Thin-footed Ant Army's garrison, but all the other Destroyer units were attracted. To places farther away, it takes 1-3 days to travel from here.
Seeing that the fighter planes had appeared, under the command of "Long Horn", the army of Thin-legged Ants rushed out of the nest, leaving less than 100,000 warriors to guard the nest, while the remaining nearly 500,000 Thin-legged Ant warriors rushed to the battlefield.
The scope of the battlefield is limited, and gathering so many troops together will only interfere with each other. However, senior military leaders such as "Long Horn" have already made arrangements. Only about 120,000 soldiers are responsible for direct attacks, and the rest of the troops are scattered around the periphery to defend some dangerous terrain. Not only were they blocking the enemy troops from coming for reinforcements, but they also had the tactical idea of encircling the points and calling for reinforcements.
Zhu Jue was surprised when he learned about it. The tactics of the ant army he had seen before were relatively primitive. They consciously carried out encirclement and reinforcement operations. This was the first time he had seen it.
At noon on May 16, the battle between the Thin-footed Ant Army and the siege of the Destroyer broke out.
This group of destroyers originally numbered nearly 10,000. They had previously conquered many ant nests and killed tens of thousands of adults, pupae, larvae and eggs of the ants. One-third of them were divided into The Destroyer carried the corpse to the rear - the Destroyer was still familiar with Zhu Jue and regarded the enemy's corpse as the most important trophy!
There are only 6,000-7,000 Destroyers left, and their strength is only one-twentieth of the attacking strength of the Thin-footed Ant Army. The disadvantage is obvious.
However, this Destroyer force is fully equipped with a radar Destroyer with long jointed limbs and tentacles. It seems to detect the enemy's incoming attack in advance. When the Thin-footed Ant Army quickly approaches with the help of vegetation and plans to make a surprise attack.
This group of destroyers has occupied a rock in the woods in advance and is waiting!
