Under the protagonist's water attack tactics, the military fortress stationed with a hundred thousand pavement ant barbarian army and ten ant queens was captured after resisting for less than ten days. The pavement ant barbarian army was completely wiped out, and the big-headed ants The expeditionary force only paid a slight price of thousands of casualties, and it was a great victory.
The protagonist himself didn't expect the water attack to be so effective. According to his plan, he originally wanted to use water attacks to eliminate about half of the enemy's effective forces, and then command the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force to attack forcefully. Since many pavement ant queens were eliminated in previous beheading operations, the recruitment of pavement ant barbarian troops will not be able to keep up with the losses on the front line. At the same time, because food will deteriorate due to moisture, the food supply of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army will also have problems.
The protagonist originally planned to use a three-pronged approach to weaken and eventually eliminate the enemy forces defending the secondary nest. But after a water attack, the enemy army was almost completely wiped out. The protagonist regretted why he rushed into the enemy's nest to hunt down the ant queen with a narrow escape. It was really unnecessary.
Fortunately, the results were satisfactory, and the campaign objectives were achieved with very few casualties. After the battle, the two legions with the greatest losses were responsible for cleaning up the corpses of dead pavement ants in the underground nests and repairing some underground buildings damaged by floods. These two legions will then stay and guard this place until they are transferred to the receiving troops sent later from the main nest.
The other forty-eight legions regrouped on the ground, prepared without delay for an hour, and immediately pursued the next target.
Before departure, all the kings entered the conference room of the deputy nest for a brief meeting. The mud in the conference room has been cleaned up in advance by the conscientious worker ants, and the white cobblestone floor shows no signs of being soaked by water.
During the meeting, the actual achievements made all the kings completely convinced of the God Envoy King. At the meeting, the next goals and plans were briefly discussed, and there were still five sub-nests left to recover. All the kings are full of confidence in the God Envoy King. In their opinion, this year's counterattack will soon be successful.
After the meeting, the kings returned to their own legions. The Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Army marched to the next sub-nest one by one.
In the evening of the same day, the army arrived near the second auxiliary nest, and each legion was ready to set up camp. After the protagonist learned that the enemy's auxiliary nest was only half an hour away, he communicated with the various legions and asked them to stop camping while they were still there. When there was twilight, we arrived near the auxiliary nest.
Subsequently, the army raided the sub-nest at night. Since it was already dark, according to the physiological habits of big-headed ants and pavement ants, they usually do not move at night, so the pavement ant barbarian army did not send any scouts on the ground until After being killed in the deputy nest, they hurriedly organized resistance spontaneously. However, the defenders in this sub-nest only had one legion and some scattered and unorganized pavement ants, less than 3,000 of them. After being invaded by a large number of enemy troops, they resisted for half a night and were completely wiped out.
The second deputy nest was also recovered.
The army rested in the second auxiliary nest for most of the night. In the morning, after leaving two legions with larger losses to garrison and clean up as usual, the remaining 46 legions continued to set off.
The scout workers of the pavement ant barbarian army in the third sub-nest discovered the vanguard of the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force in the afternoon. Then all the defenders of this sub-nest, about five thousand soldiers, came out and fought in the wild regardless of their absolute disadvantage in numbers. The Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force launched a battle.
If it were in the past, these five thousand warriors would have been able to hold on for a day or two before being completely wiped out. But this time, after the Big-headed Ant Expedition was launched, the protagonist personally commanded the God Envoy King's army to enter the battle on the far left, quickly defeating the enemy in front of them, and then detoured to the enemy's side and rear, and a bead curtain rolled back, driving away The retreating enemy troops rushed into the enemy legions that were still facing each other. The enemy troops were forced to huddle together, crowding each other and making it difficult to exert their combat power. The Divine Envoy King's Legion quickly annihilated these enemy troops with the cooperation of friendly forces. Then the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force invaded the sub-nest where there were not many enemy troops, and successfully captured the third sub-nest.
After continuing to rest for a night, the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force easily captured the fourth and fifth sub-nests where the defenders were weak on the second and third days.
It was not until the last sub-nest that the Big-headed Ant Expedition encountered strong resistance.
The terrain of this secondary nest is quite special. The secondary nests of big-headed ants are usually built on relatively solid land at high altitudes. The soil is generally loess or clay, which ensures that the excavated underground nests are strong and difficult to collapse.
When the last deputy nest protagonist saw it, he directly named it "Linshui City". The city is as its name suggests. This sub-nest is located by the big river that the ants call it, or to be precise, in the middle of the river.
The big river is the boundary river between the Big-headed Ant Kingdom and the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom. It is about five or six meters wide. In the eyes of humans, it is just a small ditch, but it is an insurmountable chasm for any type of ant.
"Linshui City" is built on a small island in the river. The island is about half a meter away from the south shore where the big-headed ant kingdom is located, and about five meters from the north shore where the pavement ant kingdom is located. The entire island is composed of a huge rock pan in the water. A huge banyan tree grew out of the cracks in the rock pan. The roots of the banyan tree are firmly rooted in the cracks in the rock. Some thick roots are exposed on the surface, entrenched in the rock. on the rocks, and eventually plunged into the mud beneath the water. The entire island is the sphere of influence of the banyan tree.
In addition, there is a dead willow tree more than one meter long. Unable to resist the competition of the banyan tree, this small willow tree died and fell down, forming a natural bridge between the island and the south bank.
"Linshui City" is located on a small island. Since there is not much soil on the small island, this secondary nest is not built underground. Instead, criss-crossing tunnels and nest chambers are dug under the rough bark of the big banyan tree. This is both a water city and a tree city.
The first problem faced by the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force is to climb through the narrow trunk of a dead willow tree to the island where "Linshui City" is located. The pavement ant barbarian army in "Linshui City" had already discovered the enemy in advance. Large groups of barbarian army soldiers poured out from various tree holes and bark gaps, and quickly gathered on the ground of the island, covered with willow bridges. .
The Pavement Ant Barbarian Army had no intention of crossing the bridge to engage in a field battle with the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force. They stayed on the bridge and on the island, waiting for the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force to launch an attack.
This willow bridge is very narrow, and the trunk of the willow tree is as thick as a human forearm. Even if the bridge is covered with ants, it can only allow dozens of ants to attack the enemy at the same time. As for a bridge that is more than half a meter long, it may take several days to break through the enemy's defenses at normal speed. Maybe the God Envoy King's army can speed up the advance, but if you are not careful on such a narrow battlefield, you will fall into the water and be washed away. After being washed away, it is basically impossible to return to the team alive. The protagonist is not willing to send his own veterans. Come and take on the dangerous task of attacking the bridge.
After carefully observing the length of the Willow Bridge and the strength of the enemy's troops, the protagonist decided to attack it himself.
Last time, the protagonist entered the state of the God of Killing and killed everyone in the Pavement Ant Base. After that, he suffered from extremely uncomfortable killing sequelae due to the loss of power, and it took him two full days of rest to recover. This lesson is too painful. This time the protagonist decides to stop in time after crossing the bridge, and there should be no sequelae.
In addition, the protagonist also wants to use this to test his control over the "Killing God" state. After entering the state last time, the protagonist's sanity was almost completely lost, leaving only the instinct to kill. This made the protagonist very worried. No one wants to be in this state. A state of losing control, even when drunk.
After sending messengers to communicate with the kings of each legion, it was agreed that the public security legion would follow the protagonist to attack Willow Bridge.
After the protagonist was ready, he climbed onto the bridge from the end of the willow tree on the river bank, followed closely by the public security corps.
The defense line of the pavement ant barbarian army is in the middle of the bridge. The protagonist slowly moves forward, and there is a slight commotion in the defense line on the opposite side. After seeing the enemy, the commanders of these pavement ant squads issued the order to attack. Countless black pavement ants spread forward like a tide from the remains of the pale willow tree, and are about to drown the protagonist who has left the battle line alone.
The protagonist was not afraid at all. He activated the collision mode, lowered his head and rushed forward. In an instant, a blank passage with a white willow background appeared in the black ant nest. Countless pavement ants flew away the moment they came into contact with the protagonist. When he got up, he either fell into the river and struggled and was washed downstream, or he bumped into his companions and caused several companions to fall.
After charging for a while, the protagonist has reached the end of the bridge half a meter away, and then turns around and rushes towards another area where enemies are densely packed. After crashing down several times in a row, there are no longer any paving ant barbarian troops on the bridge that are still organized, and there are a large number of them. The pavement ants fell into the river, and the remaining ones either hid on the sides of the bridge or were scattered around in an unorganized manner.
At this time, the protagonist was rushing to kill while trying to use his reason to suppress the instinctive murderous intention and bloodlust gradually rising in his heart. After seeing that there was no organized resistance on the bridge, he sent an attack signal, and then the public security corps took the lead. He rushed across the bridge, cleared away the remaining enemies on the bridge, and fought with the defenders on the island. Other legions also immediately filed across the bridge, taking advantage of their numerical advantage to divide and surround the enemy forces on the island.
The protagonist quietly retreated to the God Envoy King's army, trying to calm down the negative emotions in his heart. The Angel King's army did not cross the bridge in order to protect him. The protagonist climbed onto a high dry branch of the willow bridge and watched the scene on the battlefield.
The island has turned into a crowded battlefield. The entire island is the size of a four-person table. Tens of thousands of ants have gathered here. The rocks, tree roots, and crevices are all full of warring ant colonies. There was no hint of earth or rock, just black and yellow ants.
The pavement ant barbarian army did not expect that the bridge defense line would fall so quickly. A large number of pavement ant reinforcements were still on their way down from their nests high in the tree canopy to provide support. The scattered troops at the bridgehead of the small island were quickly destroyed by the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force. Overwhelmed, divided, and surrounded, only a few legions established a defense line around the trunk and roots of the big banyan tree.
The battle is about to begin.
