The fragile Mao Lin ant expeditionary force on the right was chased by the scythe ants that were killed all the way, and they hurriedly moved closer to the center army.
The hairy forest ants and their slave warriors were still slow to escape, while the hunter ants were chasing and killing them extremely fast. However, the fleeers who had lost their command could not even organize a cover force at the rear. Only the resistance of the surrounded and stubborn resisters could slightly delay the pursuers' momentum. If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many warriors invested in the Hunting Sickle Ants, and they didn't spread out their wings to outflank them during the pursuit, and they just chased and killed, I'm afraid the Mao Lin ant expeditionary force on the right would have suffered even more heavy losses in the end.
In the end, only slightly more than half of the right army escaped, and they ran directly into the middle battlefield.
The sudden appearance of the right-wing army at this time greatly surprised the electric ant tribe army who was in an attacking state.
After gathering with the advantage of the wind direction, this group of electric ant warriors took advantage of the opportunity to attack the middle army of the Maolin ant expeditionary force, which had not had time to complete the team after the poisonous smoke dissipated. Although the commander of the middle army was experienced and had restored the order of the army as soon as possible, However, they were still at a disadvantage when fighting in a hurry.
When there was no advantage in troops and the front line was at a disadvantage, the tenacious commander of the Central Route Army stabilized the front line. The two armies entered the most difficult state of wrestling until one side was exhausted. The commander-in-chief of the Central Army was still optimistic about this. He still held an elite army formation composed of forest ant slaves in his hand and did not enter the battlefield. He only waited for the enemy to be the first to be unable to hold on.
In the air, the "Air Force" on Dragonfly has reported that the right army is escaping here. It stands to reason that the center army on the ground should know about it and be prepared for contingency. But the embarrassing thing is that not even a single ant in the army noticed the dragonfly hovering overhead...
The air force of the Maolin Ant Clan was modeled on the Air Force of the Angel King's Legion last year. It does not undertake combat missions, but only has the ability to conduct reconnaissance and transmit information. Many old-school commanders are not familiar with interacting with ants that control dragonflies in the air. If they are in normal times, they may occasionally pay attention to the air. During fierce wars, they have already forgotten about the air force. After noticing the lack of response from the ground troops, the dragonfly in the sky should have taken the initiative to lower its altitude as a reminder, but the commanding noble was afraid of the poisonous smoke on the ground and refused to fly low.
So the center army, like their opponents, was unaware of the approach of the right army and its pursuers...
The right route army crashed into the right rear of the Electric Ant Tribe Army. The Electric Ant Army only deployed a small number of warning troops in this direction. When they were "surprised", they had no time to react, and they could not change their formation in time during the fierce battle. Was rushed in by the right army.
The right army was focused on escaping, and did not pay attention to the "blocking" of enemy ants here. Suddenly it got entangled with the electric ant army. It did not have a high will to fight. It just fought hard to escape, otherwise the right army would "stab in the back". ” can completely collapse the electric ant army that was caught off guard.
Fortunately, the commander of the center army saw the opportunity quickly and thought that the right army had won and came to support him. He immediately organized a full-scale counterattack and threw elite forest ant slaves into the battlefield. The electric ant tribe army, which was surrounded by enemies from both sides, fell from the advantage to a passive position struggling to support itself in almost an instant.
However, the good times of the Maori Forest Ant Expeditionary Force did not last long, and the warriors who followed them and hunted the sickle ants immediately joined the battle group. The battle group became more and more fierce and chaotic. The expeditionary army of hairy forest ants was divided into two groups, fighting at the same time; the electric ant tribal army was attacked from two sides. They also regarded the hunting ants as invaders invading their territory; The ant army is also a target of attack, whether it is the expeditionary army of hairy forest ants or the old enemy electric ants.
So the three forces and the four armies fought desperately in a small area, and the white-flowered pyrethrum weapons were used without any scruples regardless of the situation, regardless of the enemy or ourselves.
It was already afternoon when the fighting started, and by evening, the battlefield was already covered with corpses covering several square meters, with tens of thousands of casualties.
In the end, the electric ant tribe fighting at home relied on the continuous reinforcements coming from the nest and the more abundant white-flowered pyrethrum weapons. The cost was the death of thousands of the most elite poison-smeared soldiers in this battle. .
The Maolinyi Expeditionary Force lost most of the right army and many of the center army. The middle army took advantage of the darkness to pick up some friendly forces and retreated in despair to the direction of the left army.
The hunter ant tribe pursued them dozens of meters away, but could not get any advantage on the battlefield. In addition, they learned that the nearby old enemy - the equally fast and fast arrow ant tribe took the opportunity to sneak attack and had already reached the depths of the territory. Hastily withdrew the troops and returned to defense.
Fortunately, the indigenous ants in the water source area also have the habit of fighting cautiously at night, so the remnants of the right and middle armies of the Hairy Forest Ant Expeditionary Army were able to successfully join the left army.
The left army has been surrounding the Japanese ant's nest, planning to attack the nest when the poisonous smoke dissipates. Unexpectedly, the Japanese ant, despite its size, is extremely insignificant. Every once in a while, it will detonate a bomb on its own inside the entrance and exit of the nest. Large-capacity poison bombs and unique blowing technology can blow out the poisonous smoke without accidentally damaging the nest. The left army did not find any opportunity from dawn to dusk, but it also completely preserved its strength.
After seeing the miserable conditions of the other two armies and joining forces, the Maolin Ant Expeditionary Force had to deal with it carefully. The supreme commander after the merger was the former commander of the Central Army. He witnessed with his own eyes the strong fighting power of the indigenous ants, which was far superior to the weak tribes in other barren places on the highlands, so he planned to be cautious.
The Maolin ant expedition moved to an abandoned nest about 10 meters away from the Japanese Camponotus ant nest to camp.
This abandoned nest originally belonged to the Japanese Campoback Ant tribe. In order to strengthen their control over territorial resources and protect the main nest, the seven tribes in the water source area will open some auxiliary nests very close to the main nest, similar to the effect of a satellite city. This nest was eventually abandoned due to long-term harassment by the electric ant tribe, but it was not abandoned for a long time and it was not completely destroyed.
The Maulin Ant Expeditionary Force moved in after some repairs, leaving a small number of sentries near the entrance and exit.

At dawn the next day, the dragonfly that was almost forgotten yesterday flew back again. Last night, the ground troops paid no attention to them, so they had no choice but to fly back to the woods where they would stay for the night before sunset.
Only then did the commander of the Maolin Ant Expedition realize the value of the dragonfly, and immediately let it fly back to the woods where it settled to call for reinforcements. Not long after the dragonfly flew away, it flew back in a hurry and reported that there were enemy troops approaching nearby. Without clearly stating its size or the ant clan it belonged to, it rushed back to complete the mission of calling for help.
After receiving the warning, the Maolin ant expeditionary force initially planned to form a camp to fight, but after the scouts on the ground rushed back to report the size of the enemy army, they returned underground in despair...preparing to hold on to the cage city and waiting for reinforcements!
