The temperature dropped very quickly at night, and the night wind was as cold as an unmerciful god of war blowing across the ground. Just like a slave owner exploiting his slaves, he did everything possible to quickly exploit a large amount of heat from the earth's surface.
Different from the noisy nights in summer, autumn nights are quiet, lacking the chirping of cicadas and crickets. The occasional chirping of insects seems to be the startling struggle of dying people. Only the bleak wind is everywhere, declaring their sovereignty over the night!
But on such a cold night, Zhu Jue's Civilized Ant Alliance Army and the Pavement Ant Imperial Army, both possessed by Destroyers, were still fighting fiercely, ignoring the fatal threat of the temperature!
The Pavement Ant Empire army failed to evacuate in the end. Under the slime-like attack of the civilized ant alliance, they were half frozen and frozen. Although they left behind the rear troops, the main force only withdrew a few meters before being dragged back again.
The battle on the battlefield at night was like a silent and slowed-down comic pantomime. The soldiers on both sides were inevitably affected by the temperature and humidity, and their speed dropped greatly.
The only thing that was not lowered by the temperature was the desire to kill.
A big-headed ant warrior felt that the armor on his body was extremely cold. This armor once saved her life, and she could clearly see a dent on her head. It was the work of an Aiman ant. If it weren't for the protection of the armor, the enemy's powerful jaws would have been enough to pierce her skull.
But now, the life-saving armor seems to be a life-saving charm. Small water droplets in the night sky condense on the armor, and the armor is as cold as ice - even though this young soldier has never seen ice and snow, he has only heard of the coldness of ice and snow. ——Taking away the precious heat from the body of the big-headed ant warrior.
As a cold-blooded animal, without the protection of sunlight, the body of this big-headed ant warrior was not able to maintain the temperature. The body temperature had rapidly dropped to a dangerous level, and his movements were stiff as if he was seriously parasitized. Now she is just relying on her will and the weak heat energy generated by her forced activities to hold on!
Her jaws were opening slowly. It took several seconds to open them to the maximum, but she had already used all her strength.
Opposite her, a pavement ant warrior also attacked the big-headed ant warrior's hanging injured tentacles at an extremely slow rate.
The cold numbed the pain. As if the big-headed ant warrior couldn't feel the injury on the most sensitive tentacles, she still launched a counterattack on her own - her jaws suddenly closed. The speed depended on the contraction of the tendons and was not affected by the contraction of the tendons. Affected by the temperature, it is no slower than doing this action during the day.
The sharp jaw knife quickly chopped off the head of the pavement ant in front of him. The thin chitin carapace of the pavement ant was as fragile as tofu in front of the cast iron jaw knife. In the opponent's headless body, not much blood flows out due to reasons such as temperature and internal pressure. However, the head of the pavement ant seems to be unaware that it has encountered misfortune and is still biting its tentacles. Its already dull and ignorant compound eyes are still filled with tears. With a fanatical luster!

This night battle, in which the fate of the two armies was at stake, was extremely cruel and fierce. Dozens and hundreds of soldiers died every minute and every second, both in battle and in the weather.
Zhu Jue stood in the cold wind, feeling no cold at all, only his heart was cold!
The next batch of reinforcements that Zhu Jue had been waiting for never came. This was the reinforcement that the leaf-cutting ants promised to provide. There were more than 200,000 people, which was enough to quickly decide the situation of the battle.
The Pavement Ant Imperial Army will not have reinforcements. The Flying Knight's reconnaissance before nightfall confirmed this. The other invading Pavement Ant Imperial Army were too scattered and did not receive the request for reinforcements here.
It was precisely because of the promise of reinforcements that Zhu Jue was sure of victory, so he was willing to pay the price of freezing to death and frostbite of a large number of soldiers and desperately dragging the enemy into a night battle.
But it was already past midnight, and the reinforcements from the leaf-cutting ants had not yet arrived, and there were no flying knights available to take off to contact them at this time. Zhu Jue did not know where the reinforcements from the leaf-cutting ants had arrived and whether they would keep their promise.
Are the reinforcements lost? Or did you give up progress in the low temperature and camp on the spot?
Zhu Jue couldn't guess, but he was very annoyed. The current battle had completely turned into a massacre. Nature had "fairly" slaughtered both warring parties. Non-combat casualties were rising rapidly. Even in winter, they were not afraid of outdoor activities. Zhu Jue himself felt an obvious chill.
When the reinforcements arrive for a quarter of an hour every night, hundreds of soldiers who could have been prevented from dying will sacrifice themselves due to cold and pain, and the vitality that could have been preserved is wasted in vain. This made Zhu Jue angry and helpless!
If the leaf-cutting ant army does not come, Zhu Jue can only count on another batch of reinforcements - the reinforcements from the God Envoy King's Army from [Panxia City]. Originally, this army was planned to march overnight and was planned to arrive early tomorrow morning. Originally, There is no need to participate in this battle, but Zhu Jue's reserve force to expand the results tomorrow!
Now we have no choice but to count on the support troops joining the battle to have the final say!
Zhu Jue sent a large number of messengers, braved the cold night, followed the ant road to contact the reinforcements, and asked them to speed up their arrival on the battlefield.
Then, Zhu Jue's eyes turned to the slow but bloody battlefield again!
————
Around four or five o'clock in the morning, the reinforcements from the leaf-cutter ants finally did not arrive, but the troops from the Angel King's army wrapped in cold-proof ant blankets finally entered the battlefield and became the heavy hammer that crushed the pavement ant imperial army.
Although these new troops were also adversely affected by the temperature, they were protected by ant blankets along the way. Compared with the pavement ant warriors on the battlefield who were already slower than stick insects, it was almost a dimensionality reduction blow.
The Pavement Ant Empire army collapsed. They could no longer hold on, but they couldn't even break out. They were annihilated one by one by the God Envoy King's army who launched a general attack.
When the sky turned white, the main force of the Pavement Ant Imperial Army no longer existed. Zhu Jue's civilized ant coalition also captured a rare large number of prisoners - if it were not frozen by the low temperature, the Pavement Ant warriors would not have survived. Will be willing to be captured alive!
The first ray of morning light shone on Zhu Jue, dispelling some of the chill. Zhu Jue watched indifferently as the reinforcements swept the battlefield, rescued friendly troops who were still breathing, and continued to hunt for scattered enemies who had not yet been captured or killed. military.
He left the high place where he had stayed all night and moved his body.
He hadn't slept all night, but Zhu Jue couldn't care less about rest now. He still had a lot to do. There are two Dukes of Road Ant among the prisoners. He wants to interrogate them personally to learn the inside story of the enemy. The leaf-cutter ant alliance has violated its own military orders, delayed the opportunity to fight, and has a lawsuit to fight. A large number of wounded and disabled soldiers in the night battles needed to be resettled, and many of them could no longer return to the army...
But at least, we finally got this significant victory today!
