Through the gaps between the vegetation on the ground, the protagonist can see a large number of parasitic ants pouring out of the ground near the entrance and exit of the parasitic ant nest.
These second wave of parasitic ants are obviously much more orderly than the first wave.
They did not swarm toward the hills as soon as they left the nest, but gathered nearby to form formations.
The second wave of parasitic ants has organization, and the protagonist immediately comes to the conclusion. Perhaps among the enemy troops formed into small groups, each group was commanded by a big worker ant.
The protagonist immediately drove Xiaoqing to fly towards the second wave of enemy troops. In just a few seconds, the protagonist flew to the destination.
Sure enough, after the protagonist lowered his flying altitude, he quickly discovered a large number of large worker ants among the second wave of enemies. These big worker ants commanded the soldier ants and worker ants around them to gather around them, and worked hard to suppress the emotions of the ants who were ready to move.
This time, the big worker ant has five silk threads on its back, two more than ordinary ants, showing its unique status.
As the number of parasitic ants pouring out of the parasitic ant nest becomes increasingly sparse, the second wave of enemy troops has basically been assembled.
Soon, these enemy troops gathered in groups suddenly moved towards the battlefield one after another without knowing what orders they received.
Although the number of the second wave of enemies is less than that of the first wave, the protagonist roughly estimates that there are two thousand.
Moreover, this wave of enemy forces has a unified command, and their combat effectiveness is definitely stronger than the first wave of enemy forces who fought independently.
The Divine Envoy King's army is still locked in a bitter battle with the first wave of enemy troops, suffering huge losses. If the second wave of enemy troops enters the battlefield again, the protagonist cannot imagine the final outcome of the God Envoy King's army.
At this time, the protagonist finally regretted that he was too conceited before setting off for the expedition.
Due to the unstoppable performance of the God Envoy King's army in the battle against the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, with consecutive victories, the protagonist gradually became arrogant and overestimated the actual combat effectiveness of his subordinate army. He took it for granted that relying on this army was enough to conquer the enemy. A parasitic ant nest.
However, with the cover of countless friendly troops beside the Divine Envoy King's Legion, the Divine Envoy King's Legion was able to concentrate on facing the enemy forces in one direction. On a fixed frontal width, it fully exerted its tactical advantages and kept grinding them like a meat grinder. Crush the enemy.
At that time, although the opponent's Pavement Ant Barbarian Army was large in number, they could only engage in narrow fronts one after another and were unable to fully utilize their numerical advantage. The individual combat effectiveness of the Pavement Ant Warriors is also weaker than that of the God Envoy King Legion.
The right time, right place, right people, and the accumulation of various advantageous factors made the Divine Envoy King's army appear invincible.
But now, because the protagonist has never thought of notifying the main nest to request support, the Angel King Legion can only fight alone and must face attacks from all directions at the same time.
The enemy's individual combat effectiveness and fighting will, under the influence of the thread parasitic bacteria, are also stronger than our army.
"A arrogant soldier will be defeated", "If you don't know your enemy and yourself, you will be destroyed in every battle."
It was only at this moment that the protagonist finally realized the terror of the enemy. Without sufficient investigation, the protagonist rashly launched the southern expedition, which was a taboo for military strategists.
It is necessary to break out and retreat immediately, and the protagonist who calms down makes a prompt decision.
According to the movement speed of the second wave of enemies, it will take another quarter of an hour for them to join the battlefield.
This quarter of an hour is the most critical fifteen minutes for the God's Envoy King's army to successfully retreat.
Without wasting a second, the protagonist immediately flew back to the position and landed in the open space in the center of the formation.
Hua Mulan and Lambert immediately came forward.
As the reserve commander designated by the protagonist, Rambotu is responsible for commanding the ten teams that have not yet entered the battle.
At this moment, although he did not know that the second wave of enemy troops was about to arrive, he could already see the disadvantage of the situation.
Rambotu anxiously asked the protagonist if he needed to send out his reserve team to replace the front-line team that had lost more members.
Hua Mulan is relatively calm. As the captain of the guard, she doesn't care much about the battle situation on the front line. Her only thought is to ensure the safety of the protagonist, and the protagonist with a flying mount is the safest in the entire legion.
The protagonist instructs Rambotu to immediately lead all reserves and launch a counterattack to the north.
Then the protagonist sent a messenger to inform all the kings of the retreat plan.
Following the protagonist's order, the entire legion started to run like a started machine.
On the north side of the front, which was also the top of the convex arc front, the two teams guarding here suddenly separated to both sides.
The red-eyed parasitic ants had no idea what was going on, and were knocked down and killed by countless soldiers from the God's Envoy King's Legion who swarmed over them.
Since the first wave of parasitic ant armies was not under unified command, all parasitic ants relied on instinct to attack. So some of them climbed up the cliff, and some went around the cliff to attack the flanks of the Divine Envoy King's army.
As for the position on the north side of the Divine Envoy King's army, it faced the fewest enemies because it faced the direction from which the parasitic ant army came.
Under the full blow of the reserve team, the parasitic ants in this area were quickly cleared away. The Divine Envoy King's army finally found a way to escape.
Smelling the strong scent of the enemy in the escape passage, more parasitic ants began to rush here crazily.
According to the retreat plan, ten reserve teams established two lines of defense on both sides of the escape passage to resist the incoming enemy troops.
The twenty teams that were still resisting on the front line gradually reduced their defense line according to the retreat plan. The team closest to the escape channel took the lead in withdrawing, and the other teams followed one after another.
The five teams that were originally facing the cliff were the last to withdraw. These five teams had little defensive pressure before, and their losses were relatively minor.
However, as the last team to retreat, many soldiers were inevitably left alone and fell into the siege. The other soldiers were completely unable to rescue and could only watch them being killed.
The parasitic ants that hunted down the Angel King's army were like bloodthirsty and tireless zombies. If any soldier in the God Envoy King's army is slightly negligent, his life will be taken away by these zombies.
After suffering huge casualties, the five teams at the rear withdrew into the escape tunnel.
Subsequently, the ten reserve teams that were originally the vanguard and had already established a defense line on the spot became the rear troops. Under the command of Rambotu, these ten teams worked hard to close their formation and began to retreat.
Not far in front of them, at the top of the hill, other teams had established another temporary defense line. As long as they retreat to this temporary defense line, they will be safe for the time being.
According to the protagonist's plan to retreat in sequence, these reserve teams will then go to the northern slope of the hillside to establish a blocking line again to cover the retreat of their comrades.
Once they retreated into the bushes at the foot of the hills, where the vegetation was dense and the terrain was complex, the Divine Envoy King's army could take the opportunity to get rid of their pursuers.
But at this moment, Lambert discovered that a large wave of enemy troops suddenly swarmed in behind the team, completely surrounding the three teams at the back.
