The secondary nest that had just been conquered a few days ago was taken away again, the army's retreat was cut off, and all the food stored up was lost. Gun was shocked when he heard the news.
According to the reports of the ants who escaped in twos and threes, and the commander of a small group of the Sixth Army stationed there who broke out, they were also attacked by big-headed ants, and they were obviously under the orders of the King Gu.
These big-headed ants carry the aura from the secondary nest in the middle of the kingdom, and there are thousands of them. Without any explanation, they launch an attack on the nest controlled by the Angel King's army.
There is only a small group of regular soldiers in the nest, and two thousand worker ants that have just moved here. Although the defenders fought back bravely under the leadership of only two male ants, they were still outnumbered.
The garrison commander broke out under the desperate protection of his troops. More than 70% of the soldiers in the squad were lost. As for the local administrative official who just took office, some ants reported that he had died in the battle.
There were more than two thousand ants in the entire nest, but only one male ant, a dozen soldier ants, and less than a hundred worker ants escaped. The others died or were captured. This defeat can be called a rare loss for the Angel King's army in recent years.
Gun immediately sent a messenger to take a detour to the main nest "Qingqiu City" to report to the protagonist. At the same time, he discussed with Rambo Wan and Ramboser and decided to return immediately to counterattack.
Gun decided to fight back not just for revenge, but out of necessity.
The secondary nest re-captured by the enemy is an important node for maintaining the main nest "Qingqiu City" and "Linshui City". Once it is lost, the information and logistics channels between the two nests will be cut off.
Before retreating, he led his troops forward lightly and left all their rations at the departure base, only to be seized by the enemy.
If it hadn't been for Gun's army's victory in the battle that just ended and the seizure of the food reserves in the nest, they might have faced the desperate situation of being attacked from both sides and without food. But even if a batch of grain is seized, it can only support the consumption of the army for about a week.
If we don't return to the division as soon as possible, we'll be worried that the logistics supply won't be available.
——I am the dividing line——
Those who attacked the auxiliary nest of the Angel King's Legion were the coalition forces from the three auxiliary nests to the west of the main nest.
The ruling male ants of these sub-nests have previously refused the orders of the King Council controlled by the protagonist to submit.
Originally, although these sub-nests were against the protagonist, they were not a threat. After the messenger from the staid king arrived, these deputy nests who didn't know where to go immediately found their backbone and began to prepare for war vigorously.
When the old-fashioned king decided to attack "Linshui City", these sub-nests who received the information immediately sent troops to support. They assembled a total of five thousand warriors and came out in full force. In addition to the male ants that rule the nest, a total of four male ants are sent from the three sub-nests to command the army.
They had not originally planned to take the initiative to attack the Divine Envoy King's army before joining forces with the staid King, but it happened that the closest ant tunnel from these three sub-nests to "Linshui City" passed through the sub-nest captured by Gun.
After arriving here, the old-fashioned King's army discovered that the ants in the sub-nest in front had the aura of the God Envoy King's army. The male ant commander, who had been brainwashed by the King's messenger, was immediately driven by the vision of making great achievements and being promoted to the King's Council, and initiated Take the initiative to attack.
As for cutting off the food supply of the army, seizing military rations, killing male ants, etc., these are all unintentional actions.
But Gun didn't know that. He thought it was a deliberate move by the old-fashioned king's army to cut off his own food route. Although this method of warfare is uncommon, there are precedents in the history of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
Although he was worried about Rambo Fei in "Linshui City", Gun felt that he had to take countermeasures and prioritize consolidating his retreat.
This is also related to Gun's character. When he was young, he was very energetic, but now he has only slightly changed. He has never suffered such a loss before, so he naturally wants to regain his position.
——I am the dividing line——
The rolling army set out early the next morning, still advancing lightly.
The only ones who went to counterattack were Gun's Beetle Legion and Rambovan's Third Legion. Ramboser's Sixth Army left the newly conquered auxiliary nest to guard supplies and avoid the recurrence of the previous sneak attack and fall.
When the sun had just risen above the treetops of the tallest trees, the warm spring light covered the earth without any cover, and all kinds of insects began to move and stiffen their bodies for the whole night, the legions of the God Envoy King had already arrived at the city.
The old-fashioned King's army was obviously caught off guard.
This partial army easily won the victory yesterday, seized a large amount of supplies, and killed a male queen ant who was loyal to the protagonist - although killing this male ant was not the original intention of the old-fashioned king army male ants. Without their knowledge, the worker ants under his command The soldier ant warriors had torn apart the male ant they regarded as their enemy - they were so ecstatic about their victory in the first battle that they indulged in a banquet all night long.
These male ants generously distributed the materials captured from the Angel King's legion to their soldiers, including scarce high-end food. These male ants could not finish eating and rewarded them to ordinary worker ants and soldier ants.
The old-fashioned king's army who ate and chewed all night did not get much rest - although these ants usually just take a nap to rest, but last night they even wasted the opportunity to take a nap.
When the Divine Envoy King's army descended from the sky, the old-fashioned King's army learned the news from the few dedicated sentries outside the nest, and hurriedly organized to leave the nest to fight.
Gun naturally wanted them to leave the nest and fight in the field. After all, if they were to invade the underground lair and engage in street fighting, then their own beetle army would be of little help. They could only count on Rambowan's third army to independently attack twice as many enemy defenders. .
But if it is a field battle, the number of the Divine Envoy King's legion is not inferior to that of the enemy, and its combat effectiveness is even better.
As expected, the old-fashioned King's Army, a ragtag group from the sub-nest, had not personally experienced the terrifying combat effectiveness of the God's Envoy King's army, and actually launched an attack after forming a formation.
The Angel King Legion soon used the classic defensive counterattack tactics of long-range strikes, razor tactics, beetle assaults, and infantry-tank coordination to teach these original compatriots a lesson.
In less than half a day, the old-fashioned King's army had been wiped out, and all the male ant commanders were captured. After the war, they were escorted back to the main nest and handed over to the protagonist.
And his army had to stay here temporarily to guard this secondary nest that had changed hands many times. They could not move forward until the new garrison sent by the main nest arrived and had nothing to worry about.
When the messengers sent by Gun to report the news were rushing to the main nests "Qingqiu City" and "Linshui City", Lan Bofei led his army into danger...
After conquering the third sub-nest, Gun Gun sent a messenger to "Linshui City". That night, the messenger took advantage of the withdrawal of the old-fashioned king's army and passed the wooden bridge and saw Rambo Fei.
Rambo Fei made a wrong judgment based on this...
