The Eastern Highlands were in chaos, but the initiator, the Maolin Ant Expeditionary Force, seemed to be aloof from the incident.
The aristocratic commanders were surprised to find that although their army was near the battlefield and there were two grudged indigenous ant tribes, they did not encounter any attacks. After finally confirming that the ground was safe, the three top commanders arrived. On the ground, watching the battlefield a few meters away from the heights of the camp.
For male ants with better eyesight, hearing this, this distance can barely see the movement of densely packed military formations. Senior commanders who are skilled in military affairs have been able to analyze a lot of things from it.
For example, judging from the scene, the army of small yellow ants obviously easily suppressed the army of medium-sized ants with the same yellow body color. At the same time, the pharaoh ants were also attacking the nest of the Japanese ant tribe, and the latter's nest mouth was frequently attacked. The muffled sound of poison bombs exploding is a sound different from the explosion of gunpowder weapons of the Ant Alliance.
The main battlefield is very close to the camp of the Hairy Forest Ant Expeditionary Force. At present, because the electric ant army cannot support it, the battle line is still slowly approaching. If the Hairy Forest Ant Expeditionary Army remains unmoved, it may be forced to do so in the afternoon. Involved in a fierce battle.
An urgent military meeting was immediately held at the headquarters of the Maulin Ant Expeditionary Force. Since the situation at the water source was unclear, the noble commanders did not understand the cause of the current chaotic situation, but they also knew that it was probably related to the arrival of their own army. They now need to make decisions on how to deal with such a chaos and analyze what changes the development of the chaos will bring to the expeditionary force's mission.
Yesterday's defeat has made everyone in the Mao Lin Ant Expeditionary Army realize that the strength of their own army alone is not enough to conquer this area. The strength of the indigenous ant tribe here is far more powerful than expected. However, the water source is where the expeditionary force is determined to win, so reinforcements will definitely be sent from the woods where they will stay. The three top commanders of this detachment only hope that there will be more reinforcements.
Some middle-level commanders of the Young Zhuang Faction advocated taking advantage of the indiscriminate killing of indigenous ants to attack the camp of the electric ant tribe, seize supplies and occupy strongholds, so as to receive reinforcements and avoid appearing incompetent.
However, some experienced commanders expressed opposition. They were worried that if the electric ant tribe also had poison weapons similar to those of the wretched Japanese ant, it would be difficult to attack them with the current strength of the army if they defended the nest. If reinforcements are sent back, this already-broken expeditionary force of hairy forest ants may even be in danger of being wiped out. Therefore, they advocated staying put and waiting for changes. If that didn't work, they would abandon the ground camp and stay underground with all their strength.
But even if they stay put, once the two indigenous ant armies decide the winner, how should the victor's soldiers surround their camp and besiege them desperately? The commanders were also undecided. A lot of the poison weapons they brought were used and lost yesterday. The weapons on hand were not enough to support the defense of the camp for a long time, and the troops were not sufficient. Facing the indigenous ant tribe with rich poison weapon resources, they did not What are the chances of winning.
In the end, the three male ant nobles who served as the top commanders formulated the plan through democratic voting - the Maulin ant army implements an aristocratic democracy. Nobles at the same level make decisions based on the simple principle of majority submission. There are three nobles of the same level in the detachment, and two of them can decide the military strategy if they agree.
According to the plan, at noon, when the Pharaoh ants and the electric ants were already tired after fighting for half a day, the Hairy Forest Ant Expeditionary Force began to move out of camp and form an array, not for fighting, but to move.
In order not to irritate the two enemy armies, the troops who were the first to leave the camp only put up a defensive posture around the camp. They were also more patient with the scouts sent by the two enemy armies, and did not expel them until they were very close to the position, and tried not to kill them.
After the cover troops were in place, the follow-up troops began to expel the indigenous ants south of the camp to open up a path for the subsequent large-scale maneuvers. Then the large troops filed out. After gathering on the ground, the small military formations immediately changed into columns and set off. The planning and execution were very thorough, and the evacuation was also very fast.
Before the pharaoh ants and the electric ant tribe could fully react, just over half an hour later, the hairy forest ant expeditionary force, except for the troops covering the rear, had all left the camp and moved towards the south.
The direction of their evacuation was far away from the territory of any clan in the water source, but they were not intending to retreat to the woods where they would stay. Instead, they planned to occupy a rock camp not far away. In this way, the dynamics of the water source can be monitored and reinforcements can be received without irritating the indigenous ant tribes in the water source that are fighting.
This is exactly the strategy chosen by the commanders of the Maori Ant Expedition, which they consider to be complete.
At the beginning, as the male hairy forest ants expected, after confirming that the third party force did not pose a threat, the pharaoh ants and the electric ant tribe continued to focus on the battle in front of them and ignored the actions of the hairy forest ant expeditionary force. .
But when the march reached the destination rock, something unexpected happened.
A group of spiny ants wandering in the nearby shrubs got out of their minds and actually launched an attack on the powerful expeditionary force of hairy forest ants. It may also be that the hundreds of spiny ants only saw the scattered vanguard of the hairy forest ant expeditionary force at the beginning. They also had poor eyesight and misjudged the situation.
In short, the Maolin Ant Expeditionary Force was forced to defend themselves, and the place they once passed safely turned into a battlefield in an instant.
Near dusk that afternoon, the Hairy Forest Ant Expeditionary Force hunted down the fleeing spiny ants and found the paper nest they had built on the bushes. Only then did they realize that this was the territory of this spiny ant tribe with only a few hundred ants. They might just be there. Defend your home. The tribe hid when the Mao Lin ant expeditionary force marched. This time, after seeing the Mao Lin ants intending to stay, they took the initiative to fight back, which ultimately led to the annihilation of the tribe.
The hairy forest ant expeditionary force destroyed yet another indigenous ant tribe and occupied its territory without mercy. Although the hairy forest ants are a mixture of arboreal and soil-dwelling ants, they do not like the narrow and crude paper nests on shrubs and choose to dig camps in the gaps between rocks and the ground.
The chaos they caused was far from over after the instigators left the vicinity of the water source.
Until nightfall that day, on several battlefields, various tribes faced different situations: the Pharaoh ant tribe had driven away the electric ant tribe, and surrounded the Japanese ant tribe and refused to withdraw, with the intention of completing their victory in one battle. The electric ant tribe fought hard for two consecutive days and suffered heavy losses. They have returned to the main nest to rest. The hunting sickle ants and the swift arrow ant tribe also fought fiercely all day long, both sides suffered losses, and the two armies reluctantly separated at dusk. The provocative black turtle ants were retaliated by Li ants, and the rare battle between the two sides in the middle of the trunk continued at night...
