This rear troop of the parasitic ant migration army was not specially deployed to guard against the pursuit of the God's Envoy King's army. Except for two full elite squads, most of them were the old, weak, sick and disabled who unconsciously fell behind during the long march day and night. .
The parasitic ants obviously do not want to give up nearly one-fifth of their comrades, as evidenced by the two squads of all-soldier ants sent out - these strong soldier ants and large worker ants in the squad are very powerful to the parasitic ants. valuable.
The big worker ants have been alert to the rear, but the protagonist's vision far exceeds theirs. Under the command of the protagonist, the forward troops of the God Envoy King's Army adjusted their formation outside the sight of the big worker ants, and then pounced on them like tigers descending the mountain. enemy.
Although the big worker ants who kept paying attention to the queen saw the incoming God Envoy King legionnaires one meter away, the legionnaires advancing at full speed did not give the enemy a chance to adjust their formation, and rushed into the still chaotic parasitic ants. In the rearguard.
The resistance of the parasitic ants is very tenacious, although there are only two small groups of soldier ants among them, and the others are old, weak, sick and disabled who cannot even catch up with the main force.
But when the God's Envoy King's army united into a tight formation to kill, these parasitic ants, even if they didn't even form a defensive formation, still threw away their burdens without hesitation, and turned around to kill the God's Envoy King's army one by one.
Although this kind of individual bravery without organizational support is like a moth flying into a flame most of the time, it cannot cause any harm to the Divine Envoy King's army, but it effectively slows down their advancement speed.
The forward troops led by the protagonist only have twenty squads, and the other troops are still five minutes away, so they do not have a numerical advantage compared to the enemy.
Under the stubborn resistance of the old, weak, sick and disabled parasitic ant rearguard, the advance of the forward troops was not very fast. After all, even if two thousand enemies were killed without resistance, it would still take a while.
The protagonist was watching the battle on a field of foxtail ears not far from the battlefield. What concerned him was that the two full parasitic ant squads that originally guarded the old, weak, sick and disabled did not participate in the battle. Instead, they won the battle through the bloodshed and sacrifice of their protected targets. A little time to escape in a hurry.
It seems that the commanders of these two teams have received orders before, requiring them to retreat when they are attacked. Otherwise, with the aggressive nature of parasitic ants, even if they know that it is a dead end, they will come over and try to drag someone back. .
No matter how brave the enemy is, they are still helpless in the face of the iron hooves of the well-organized, high-morale, and complete formation of the forward troops. In less than twenty minutes, with the assistance of the main force that arrived later, the old, weak, sick and disabled enemy troops in the rear were completely wiped out. As always, there were no prisoners in this battle, only corpses.
After a short rest, the troops set off again. The flying knights led by Flying Eagle, who set off from Stump Fortress after dawn, also followed the semaphore markers and found the main force.
The protagonist immediately asked the flying knights to go out to detect the enemy's movements. About ten minutes later, when the protagonist could already see a large number of enemies crowding the pass uphill ahead, the Flying Knight also returned to report the investigation results.
The protagonist does not hesitate to stop the troops temporarily, but also wants to watch the information package transmitted from the Flying Knight Gate first. In the final battle, the protagonist feels that he needs to be more careful, not to capsize due to the endless tricks of the parasitic ants. Moreover, the pass on the uphill slope ahead is extremely narrow, and there are still a large number of parasitic ants that have not passed the pass. There will be no problem if you wait for a while.
According to the information packet fed back by Flying Eagle, the protagonist sees that the valley ahead has reached its end, forming a small basin surrounded by mountains on three sides.
To the west of this small basin was the pursuing Army of the Divine Envoy King, and to the south and north were hillsides with steeper slopes that were not suitable for large troop movements. Only the easternmost hills are gentler, and after climbing five meters there is a pass for crossing the hills blocking the way.
Behind the pass is a gully carved out by water, which connects directly to the lake ahead from the steep cliffs on both sides. This is a huge lake. The hawk hovered in the sky for a while, with no end in sight. To the ants, it was just a vast ocean.
Half of the parasitic ants have already passed through the pass and moved along the only road to the lake shore. Some of the parasitic ants are still crowded at the pass, waiting anxiously to cross the narrowest section.
There are steep cliffs everywhere along the lake shore, and there is only a small stretch of gentle beach for the large troops to pass, but the wet and muddy road will definitely slow down the movement of the parasitic ant troops.
According to the results reported by the flying knights, it seems that the parasitic ants have no way to escape. Maybe they just chose the direction of escape in a panic, but they were eventually led to the shore of a large lake, and there were high cliffs and seemingly In the dangerous dark woods, there is only a narrow path along the lake shore. If you walk along the lake shore, you may not even need the Angel King's army to attack. The rising tide will wipe out all these parasitic ants.
Of course the protagonist cannot pin his hopes on nature. After confirming that the enemy was at the end of its rope, the protagonist ordered the flying knights to come back, and then commanded the Angel King's army to launch a general attack.
The parasitic ants that had not yet evacuated outside the pass also resisted heroically, trying to fight for a glimmer of life for their comrades who had evacuated. This heroic spirit made the protagonist, the opponent, couldn't help but admire them.
After wiping out the enemy forces outside the pass, the Angel King's army encountered truly powerful resistance when crossing the narrow pass.
According to the feedback from the front line, the protagonist can be sure that the enemy sent out the last combat-effective legion, which was the legion that retreated intact during the fortress defense battle. They blocked the narrow pass, resisting the swarming warriors of the God's Envoy King.
Both sides are old rivals, but the offensive and defensive momentum has been reversed. With the help of the narrow pass, the parasitic ants finally temporarily contained the attack of the superior force of the Divine Envoy King's army at the cost of huge casualties.
Since the battle was still fierce at the pass, the protagonist did not risk going forward, but relied on the messenger's rewards to obtain the battle situation.
After learning that the front line was stalemate and the terrain was too narrow to deploy troops, the protagonist asked a small group of strong soldier ants to climb along the steep cliffs on both sides of the pass, go around to the side and rear of the enemy, and attack the main force from front to back, spending a lot of time It took a lot of time to finally eliminate the enemy's last organized main force.
Calculated, the 10,000 migrating enemies have now lost 70% of their number and the entire main force, and are probably no longer capable of resisting.
With a proud mood, the protagonist stepped onto the safe exit of the pass.
Looking from a distance, the scene in front of him suddenly made his jaw drop.
