After hearing this, the Maolin Ant Expeditionary Force found out that the bad thing at this time was that the wind was blowing from the north on the battlefield, which was blowing in the direction of our army. Although the wind speed was not fast, the poisonous smoke and dust still drifted toward the various military formations before they completely dissipated.
Seeing the poisonous smoke approaching, each formation of the Maolin ant expeditionary force spontaneously dodged. Many experiences made the Maolin ants and slave warriors know not to stray into the poisonous smoke. For a time, the formations were in chaos, and even the commanders were confused. No regard for constraints.
As for the warriors of the electric ant tribe, although they also lost their vanguard troops to the white-flowered pyrethrum weapons, the follow-up troops were taking the opportunity to reorganize. Reinforcements coming from nearby nests were also converging, and they followed skillfully. Then force the poisonous smoke that has not dispersed towards the intruder.
Ants also know how to take advantage of favorable weather conditions when fighting!

While the middle route army was facing an unfavorable situation, the other route's attack on the Japanese Camponotus ant tribe was progressing smoothly at first.
Despite their size, the Japanese ant family has always been the weakest among the seven tribes in the water source area. It has long lived in the cracks between two powerful neighbors: electric ants and pharaoh ants. When attacked, only a few hundred warriors of the Japanese Campoback ant tribe spontaneously resisted outside at first. These were the ants responsible for foraging outside.
The Japanese ant warriors are huge in size and look no less than the Destroyer, but in other aspects they are far inferior to the Destroyer. The commander of the Maori Forest Ant Expedition had long had experience fighting the Destroyers. At this time, he was not intimidated by the size of the Japanese ant at all. He skillfully commanded the troops to disperse into small groups. The Japanese ant, which is accustomed to fighting alone, divides and kills them.
The Japanese ant warriors are struggling to hold on. Although they can easily kill their opponents just by virtue of their size, they will also be dismembered quickly under siege. The exchange ratio between the two sides is close to one to one, which is very detrimental to the Japanese ant. !
After the reinforcements of the Japanese Camponotus ants arrived, they saw that they were still outmatched, so they had to turn around and retreat into the nest, and then decisively took the lead in launching the white-flowered pyrethrum weapon outside the nest.
Their white-flowered pyrethrum weapons are also very primitive. They are simply wrapped powder. The packaging is so crude that it is difficult to carry them outside for field battles. They can only be taken and used near the nest.
However, thanks to their size advantage, the Japanese Toxoplasma ants are much more resistant to poisons than other small and medium-sized ants, so the pyrethrum weapons they use are more abundant and contain higher contents. It is precisely by relying on such weapons and the tactics of defending the nest that the Japanese ant family can live peacefully in the cracks for many years.
The expeditionary force of hairy forest ants that rushed directly to the nest was caught off guard. Two of the forwards were caught in the sudden explosion of high-concentration poisonous smoke. Almost no ants escaped by chance.
Past experience shows that if the two armies exchange white flower pyrethrum weapons, except for the troops in the center where the concentration is unfortunately higher, the troops on the periphery can still survive a lot, and some wounded soldiers can be rescued when the poisonous smoke dissipates. But judging from the power of the weapons this time, it is estimated that the two groups of soldiers trapped will be in danger...
As a result, the Maolin ant expeditionary force had no choice but to march outside the nest. The commander clenched his jaw and made a vicious plan to wait for the poisonous smoke to dissipate, then throw weapons into the mouth of the nest to poison the trapped Japanese ants inside!

On the right, the Hairy Forest Ant expeditionary force that invaded the Hunter Ant tribe encountered a small-scale ambush when they approached the Territory of the Hunter Ants.
The Scythe Hunter Ant tribe has about 50,000 ant colonies, which is the second smallest among the seven tribes. However, its overall strength is among the top three, and it is the strongest among the seven tribes.
The Sickle Ant warriors are tall, fierce, and agile in their movements. They are used to fighting alone, but they can also fight in groups, which gives them great freedom of movement.
To the other six tribes, the Hunter Ant tribe is a cunning and arrogant existence. The fast-moving groups of three or two Hunter Ants often go deep into the control areas of other tribes to steal or rob. During this period, they even actively hunted ants from other tribes for food when food was scarce.
Tribes often have nothing to do with these elusive ant-hunting groups. Small-scale dispatches cannot stop them, and large-scale sieges are not worth the gain. Most of the time, they can only acquiesce to this kind of harassment.
That is to say, the Scythe Hunter Ant Tribe was once too arrogant and outnumbered the other six tribes. It was heavily besieged by the six tribes. After several hard battles and thanks to the rebellion of the Pharaoh Ant Tribe, it was able to save the tribe. However, it will never do so again. Dare to be too rampant.
Despite this, the activity range of the Sickle Ant Hunter warriors is still much larger than that of other tribes that are limited to their own territory, and the warning range is naturally larger.
Therefore, before the Maolin ant expeditionary force on the right could resist their destination, they were discovered by several groups of wandering scythe ant hunters. After realizing that this army was not small in size and had bad intentions, more than a dozen ant-hunting warriors dared to take the initiative to ambush, which shows their toughness.
The ambush of the Scythe Hunter ants comes from above the grass blades, from behind the rocks, and from between the shadows. The army formation composed of more than a thousand slave ants at the beginning was jumped by a dozen scythe-hunting ants. The timid commanders were frightened at first, and the entire army formation was shaken.
When the follow-up military formation arrived, they killed the dozen or so bold scythe-hunting ferocious ants. Instead, the Hairy Forest Ant Expeditionary Army itself lost more than a hundred slaves. Many of them were not killed in battle, but killed each other in the chaos. Or caused by trampling.
At this time, more ants have heard the news and arrived - this place is not far from the nest of ants. The ants can reach it very quickly, and their year-round preparation system also allows them to send troops to respond. The speed surprised the ants.
At this time, the Maolin Ant Expeditionary Army was still a long marching column and had not started a battle formation. When the front army was bitten and killed by the hunting sickle ants that came quickly, the middle and rear teams were still on their way.
So the quick-reacting ant warriors caught the Hairy Forest Ant Expeditionary Force by surprise. By the time the commander of the Hairy Forest Ant Expeditionary Force deployed the main force, the front army had collapsed and was driven away by the ant hunting ants and fled madly. , but instead impacted the army that had just formed its formation.
What was even more unlucky was that the commanders of this group of hairy forest ants were braver and were located at the front of the array. They were targeted by several highly skilled warrior ant hunters. They jumped directly into the formation and faced hundreds of hairy forest ants. The ant guards besieged and killed the commander of the Maolin ant expeditionary force in a desperate attempt.
Subsequently, the Maolin ant expeditionary force, which lost its unified command, was completely defeated after relying on the already unstable military formation to resist slightly, and hurriedly fled towards the friendly forces!
