The battle continued into the night. In the evening, the civilized ant coalition received reinforcements from a group of marching ant troops. After a hard battle for most of the night, they finally annihilated the exhausted and out-of-command Destroyer army. , and then recovered many nearby fallen nests in one fell swoop the next day.
In this battle, as many as 130,000 Destroyers were eliminated, and the civilized ant coalition suffered nearly 100,000 casualties. Countless weapons and equipment were consumed, which clearly shows the fierceness of the battle.
Although the losses were considerable, they won the first battle in the spring. After a short rest, the civilized ant coalition took the initiative to attack again the next day and repelled another approaching Destroyer force. The continuous victories made the sluggish people The morale of the civilized ant alliance has been greatly boosted, and the nobles of various countries who were panicked because of the repeated destruction of their country and loss of territory last year have gradually regained their confidence.

On April 23, the third day after the victory in the first battle of the spring, Zhu Jue learned a local battle report from the Flying Knight messenger - a battle report of a defeat.
Previously, faced with the situation occupied by crow honey elements who had raised a rebel flag, Zhu Jue instructed nearby nests to use local garrison corps as the main force, assemble part of the ant militia, and piece together an army of about 20,000 troops to attack.
Zhu Jue originally thought that most of the nobles among the Crow Mi elements had no military experience, and there were not many ants in the army. It was estimated that the total number of troops was less than 10,000. Several surrounding lairs are united. There are many veterans who have retired from the regular army among the local garrison. They have an advantage in terms of combat experience and number of troops. The crusade should go smoothly.
Unexpectedly, the battle report came, and the rebel forces of the Crow Mi elements actually defeated the expeditionary army in one fell swoop in the field. Although the specific battle situation was unknown, it was obvious that the combat effectiveness and command capabilities of the troops under the Crow Mi elements exceeded expectations.
Then the armed soldiers of the Crow Honey elements approached a nearby nest and defeated several small-scale reinforcements that came from the surrounding area. The local garrison finally realized that it was difficult to achieve Zhu Jue's goal with its own strength, and asked for help from the main nest.
The main nest is forming an army to go north to support the two battlefields. There are very few troops left behind, so it can only mobilize a newly formed field infantry regiment to rush to the south. Due to the need to replenish equipment and conduct training along the way, it will take half a month. arrival. The war in the south is obviously not suitable for waiting for such a long time.
When the name of the nest threatened by the crow honey elements was reported, Zhu Jue's tentacles trembled slightly without being noticed by other ants. The gaze in his compound eyes drifted to the shadow in a certain direction, and then returned Take back quickly.
It happened to be this lair! It seems that there is no need to wait for reinforcements from the main nest!
Zhu Jue weighed it up. He knew that some of the beings in this nest were not suitable to be exposed to the allies of the civilized ant tribe, but if he chose to take them in in the first place, there would be no room for regret. Zhu Jue did not think that he would be forced to burn bridges in the future. situation, not to mention that this existence still has great use value.
Being in the southern hinterland of the Ant Alliance, there is no communication with the allies of the civilized ants. The counter-insurgency war here is also outside the attention of the allies...
In this case... Zhu Jue made a decision quickly, and his sight plunged into the darkness again, as if he had penetrated the shadows and thousands of mountains and rivers, and came to an ant that was always dormant in the shadows!
This is a huge male bullet ant. What is different is that there is a black birthmark around his compound eyes, as if he is wearing a pair of glasses. When they met for the first time, Zhu Jue didn't expect that he not only survived tenaciously, but also developed an entire ant tribe when he saw him covered in scars and holding an ant egg in his jaw!
Let them join the battle. These powerful bullet ant warriors, combined with the local army's military formation, should be enough to put down the rebellion!

The aftermath of the first battle in spring was far more profound and rapid than Zhu Jue expected.
In just one or two weeks, this military information was spread to the point that it was known to all the ants in every civilized ant nest. In the process of information dissemination, although the ants will use information packets to ensure that the message is as accurate as possible, it is still inevitably misinterpreted by the recipients unconsciously.
Among the rumors, the only thing that has not been tampered with is the result of the battle. But in the process of dissemination, the result of this battle changed from the civilized ant coalition having a strength advantage to the civilized ant coalition annihilating the Destroyers with inferior forces. The number of Destroyers eliminated also gradually changed from the real 130,000. According to legend, there are more and more people, eventually reaching as many as four to five million. In the information dissemination of different civilized ant tribes, the role of this tribe in this battle has been exaggerated a little bit, even if some civilized ant tribes did not participate in this battle at all...
In the territory of the former Red Fire Ant Nation, which was originally occupied by the Leafcutter Ant Nation and is now occupied by the remnants of the Pavement Ant Empire, news of this has actually begun to spread.
This is the stronghold of one of the last two remaining armies of the Pavement Ant Empire, and the location of its temporary center. The last two remnant armies were isolated from each other, and both believed that they were the last forces of the Pavement Ant Empire.
This paving ant empire entrenched in and around the country is led by 2 "kings" and 7 grand dukes. Following the old system, these leaders have been promoted to emperors and emperors, collectively known as the "Two Emperors and Seven Emperors", and the reconstruction The ruling system of the Pavement Ant Empire was established.
There are only a few hundred thousand soldiers left in this remnant army, but the titles of most military nobles are constantly being promoted. A legion commander usually has the title of earl, and there are many viscounts and barons among the squad leaders.
However, a bad title cannot save the increasingly critical situation. Although the Destroyer has not continued to pursue and fight, the leafcutter ants among the civilized ant tribes in this area are mobilizing several times the strength of the remnant army of the Pavement Ant Empire. , continue to launch offensive.
The "Two Emperors and Seven Emperors" originally lived there, but when it became a battlefield for fierce fighting between the two sides, they had no choice but to take refuge in a relatively safe place. The six newly promoted "kings" who commanded the army were left to station their respective troops here to defend with difficulty.
Although the leaf-cutting ant army's offensive was fierce, the Pavement Ant Imperial Army, which was already in a desperate situation, unleashed a fighting force that shocked the ants. It actually managed to hold on for more than a month with a small number of troops, and even killed many leaf-cutting ant armies. The leaf-cutter ant army has no hope of victory so far due to the specialized soldier ants they rely on.
Among the leaf-cutter ant army, many noble female ant commanders were captured. In the past, these captives were destined to be killed, but this time for some unknown reason, the remnant army of the pavement ant empire preserved the lives of most of the captives, but only from them A lot of information was tortured here.
