The reinforcements that Lamborghini was eagerly looking forward to also encountered trouble and had to suspend their support.
After the flying knight messenger sent by Rambo Fei arrived at the main nest, the protagonist gave orders for the troops to speed up and rush to the battlefield.
Although the protagonist believes in the combat effectiveness of the Divine Envoy King's Legion, he does not hope that the Second Legion will suffer too many casualties when facing superior enemies. He counted on the Rolling Beetle Legion to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop in the field and eliminate the largest resistance force at present.
These days, the protagonist's efforts to subdue the sub-nests are not going well. Even some of the sub-nests very close to the main nest show signs of being ready to move. The protagonist suspects that the old-fashioned king has contacted them.
In order to prevent more deputy nest forces from being drawn together by the old-fashioned king, the protagonist urgently needs to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible.
Gun was already prepared, and he also received a message from Lamborghini. After the protagonist's order was delivered, Gun, who received the order, immediately stopped resting in the sub-nest he had just conquered, and the army set off on the road again with light equipment.
At this time, the secondary nest that had been conquered after a hard battle had been simply repaired. The queen ants, male ants and two thousand worker ants from the main nest "Qingqiu City" had already settled in and taken over the nest.
A batch of food from the main nest "Qingqiu City" was also transported into it. This will be used as a transfer station to continuously transfer food to the army on the front line. That's why Gun dared to let the troops advance lightly.
After the rolling army set off, it took half a day to reach the last sub-nest along the way. As long as this sub-nest was conquered, they would soon be able to reach the "Linshui City" and directly support the fighting Rambo flying army.
After learning from the previous experience and lessons, Rambovan's legion was more cautious when attacking this sub-nest. This caution later proved to be very necessary.
This sub-nest is very close to the territory controlled by King Stupid. When King Stupid's army attacked "Linshui City", King Stupid's messenger had already come here.
The king of the deputy nest immediately expressed his obedience to the command of the old-fashioned king, and trained his troops to prepare to support the old-fashioned king's army.
Not only that, before and after the old-fashioned king decided to launch a large-scale attack on "Linshui City", he had sent many groups of messengers to various parts of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, demanding that the secondary nests obey the leadership of his newly formed king's conference and gather strength to regain the main nest.
This is also an "innovation" made by the old-fashioned king after he saw the combined strength of the deputy nests. In his opinion, seventeen sub-nests can pull out an army of 40,000 people. If dozens of sub-nests obey orders, there will be an army of more than 100,000 people. Even the Army of the Divine Envoy King will not be a match.
The old-fashioned king's efforts have responded. Many deputy nests who welcomed the messenger eagerly expressed that they would obey the leadership of the orthodox king's conference. However, these deputy nests had previously scorned the "pseudo king's conference" formed by the protagonist.
Not long ago, this sub-nest, which was regarded as a target by the rolling army, ushered in two foreign troops, both of which were reinforcements sent by the neighboring sub-nest to support the old-fashioned king. This batch of reinforcements also carried some food.
In fact, many sub-nests in various places, as long as they have spare strength, have already sent or are preparing to send reinforcements or provide material support to the old-fashioned king. If the protagonist's flying knights were not restricted to "Linshui City" and they patrolled around, they would have found that the ant lanes on the south bank of the river were busy again. This time, the end point where the ants gathered was not the main nest "Qingqiu City". But it is the northeast of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
The protagonist's awareness that the sub-nests in various places are about to move is no longer a hidden worry, but a prairie fire.
The deputy nest, which had been strengthened by reinforcements, was attacked by the Angel King's army. But at this time, the total number of defenders in this sub-nest was more than double that of the Divine Envoy King's army, and the commanders were all diehard loyalists of the King's Council faction.
——I am the dividing line——
Rambovan soon noticed that the enemy's resistance was very tenacious and its troops were abundant. He knew that if he continued to attack the enemy, it would be a fierce battle like last time.
Fortunately, the Divine Envoy King's army has recovered from the confusion in the previous battle. After a short period of reorganization, the commanders have abandoned the idea of underestimating the enemy.
The third legion responsible for the attack, under the command of the commander, retreated to the ground in an orderly manner from the entrance of the nest they had just invaded.
The defenders thought they had forced the enemy back and hurriedly launched a counterattack, with a large number of defenders pouring out of the ground. Since there were only a few commanders, these soldiers did not receive instructions and did not form a formation, so they launched sporadic spontaneous counterattacks.
Rambovan's Third Army easily blocked these counterattacks and stabilized its position.
As the defenders gathered more and more on the ground, they became more crowded and inconvenient to dispatch. When they were bloated and slow to approach Rambovan's army, trying to use the ant sea tactic to swallow up the obstacles in front of them, the rolling beetle army arrived at the right time. Appeared.
The beetle commandos quickly severed the connection between the large garrison and the nest. Ramboser led his sixth legion to quickly attack the nest, eliminate the few remaining enemies in the nest, and capture the queen ant.
But no male ants were found in the nest. The male ants in this nest and the male reinforcements were all in the military formation on the ground.
On the ground, the battle is still going on. The Beetle Legion attacks wantonly, just like a stirrer thrust into a liquid, quickly breaking up the defenders' formation and defeating them. The infantry and Rambovan's third troops who are attacking at the same time on the other side. The three armies massacred the enemy troops who had lost their command and were in chaos.
The battle lasted until the afternoon. As the last male ant in the defenders was killed, the other ants finally joined the protagonist under the orders of the only three male ants, Gun, Lambowan, and Ramboser.
For these worker ants and soldier ants, male ants cannot disobey. In the past, they would fight bloody battles with their kin from the main nest because of the orders of the male ants of their own secondary nest, but after losing the male ants, they would easily obey the orders of the male ants they had just fought with. If it were an opponent like the Barbarian Army of Paving Ants, then Gun would have to kill all the enemies to feel at ease.
Gun led the army into the auxiliary nest, rested as usual, and prepared to go to support Lan Bofei in "Linshui City" after spending the night. For this purpose, he also sent a special messenger.
There is a lot of food seized in this secondary nest, and there is no need to transfer military rations from the main nest for the time being. Gun also sent a messenger to the protagonist to announce the good news, and hoped that the protagonist would send a male ant administrator to take over the secondary nest as soon as possible.
Before the arrival of the male ant administrator, after the army sets off, there will still be a squad of the Sixth Legion left as a garrison. The commander of the garrison, the male ant, will temporarily take charge of the daily management of this secondary nest.
But the next day, Gun and the others had to change their route... Reports came from the rear that the secondary nest they had captured two days ago had been taken back by the enemy, completely cutting off the communication between the army and the main nest.
