I don't know why I can't publish on the mobile phone, I can only log in to the computer to publish. I wrote this this morning and only posted it now. The chapter tonight will probably be affected too...
——I am the dividing line——
The next day, while the Divine Envoy King's army launched another attack, a group of Divine Envoy King warriors were trying to widen the main channel again.
Today, these soldiers discovered that, judging from yesterday's situation provided in the information package, the main channel seemed to be a little narrower again. The narrow gap that used to allow four or five ants to pass through now can only accommodate two or three ants moving together.
The enemy has obviously also tasted the sweetness, with casualties plummeting yesterday. If it weren't for maintaining basic traffic and air circulation, they would probably have blocked the entire main passage.
The forward troops of the Divine Envoy Army fought with the enemy in this narrow gap. Because the height was too low, the "razor tactic" that required the back-row soldiers to lie on the backs of the front-row soldiers was no longer possible. Fortunately, the Angel King's army is full of soldier ants. Their size advantages and the sharp stone knives stuck to their jaws give the God's Angel King warriors an advantage in hand-to-hand combat in such narrow terrain.
But in this way, it is impossible to pursue killing efficiency. The ants face each other, and the jaws fight against each other. The weak points are covered. It takes a long time to determine the winner, and the victor's physical strength is also consumed a lot. quick.
Other warriors of the Envoy King who had not fought with the enemy began to dig out the ant concrete.
If you were to dig through a block of concrete with your bare hands, it would be almost impossible. But it is possible for ants. They do not need to directly face the high-strength concrete as a whole, but loosen and remove the gravel, soil and stones that make up it bit by bit.
Although the originally strong "ant concrete" cannot be said to be the same as tofu in the face of this "ant moving" excavation, it is also helpless.
However, the information reported by the soldiers of the Angel King also showed that the efficiency of these soldier ants with stone knives stuck to their jaws in digging "ant concrete" was not as high as the commanders imagined.
This type of work is actually more suitable for worker ants. Their slender and dexterous jaws are particularly suitable for digging, while the jaws of soldier ants are a bit stronger. The stone knives on them are extremely efficient in killing, but they often have the opposite effect when digging. .
In any case, after half a day of hard work, the Divine Envoy King's Legion expanded the main channel to the level of yesterday and continued to dig. More and more warriors of the God Envoy King began to engage in firefights with the enemy. As the main channel expanded, "razor tactics" also began to be used.
This small success of targeted tactics still failed to dispel the uneasiness of commanders such as Gun and Lambotu.
When Ming Jin withdrew his troops in the evening, Lambert reported that there were only over a thousand enemy corpses brought to the ground today, the same as yesterday. The main reason was that too much time was wasted before digging out the "ant concrete" in the morning.
According to this estimate, there are still more than 6,000 troops in the enemy's nest, but the Divine Envoy King's army must work hard to conquer it in the next two days, and the difficulty of the task has skyrocketed.
Moreover, the enemy obviously will not sit still and wait for death. During this night, the enemy may be blocking the passage again.
At this time, Rambotu proposed that a tactic used by the great King of Gods when he was fighting might be able to solve the current dilemma.
——I am the dividing line——
The next day, the Divine Envoy King's Legion found that the main underground passage was blocked again, leaving only a small gap.
A part of the God's Envoy King warriors continued to fight and dig on the main channel, while the main force stayed on the ground.
These troops on the ground were not idle. They began to dig into the soil and began to dig new passages from a distance of 1-3 decimeters around the entrance and exit of the main passage.
In the previous battle with parasitic ants and pavement ants, the protagonist once commanded the troops not to attack through the original entrance and exit of the nest, but to dig new passages to avoid the enemy's heavy guarding. This left a deep impression on Rambotu and other male ants, and now they applied it in this battle.
Excavation of relatively soft soil is much more efficient than excavation of "ant concrete". In addition, eight channels were excavated in time, all sloping downward in the direction of the original main channel.
It didn't take half a day for these newly excavated channels to take shape. Half of the passages penetrated the original passage of the enemy's nest, and the other half were unlucky and could not be penetrated even after digging deep, so they had to give up.
But it is enough to have four new directions of attack. These passages are all connected to the ordinary passages that branch out from the main passage in the underground lair, and some have been connected to very deep locations.
The legions of the Divine Envoy King suddenly burst out from the four passages, like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
The underground army of the Queen Ant Heritage Faction did not expect the enemy to suddenly appear here, and they were in a panic. Their only three male ants have not yet heard the news, and the enemy soldiers near the connection point of the passage are on guard in a daze.
These enemy troops were resisting spontaneously, and naturally they could not stop the thunderous attack of the God Envoy King's army, which was already gearing up. They were soon forced to retreat bit by bit.
However, the width of the ordinary passage is also small. Although the Queen Ant's inheritance faction army has been beaten back after recovering, the killing efficiency of the God Envoy King's army is not high.
Commanders such as Gun and Lambotu did not expect their troops to achieve much success in the ordinary passages. Their purpose was to bypass the main passages blocked by the enemy through these passages and penetrate into the enemy's interior.
It is impossible for the enemy to block all the main passages with "ant concrete". They must only block a section. Otherwise, after the war, even if the ant queen inheritance faction wins, they will have to spend a lot of money to clear the main passage again. .
Sure enough, soon, the first troop of the Divine Envoy King's Legion entered the main passage. The news they sent back showed that the main passage in front of them was very spacious.
However, the warriors of the God's Envoy King encountered a crazy counterattack and siege by the enemy here. It was difficult for a small number of troops to gain a foothold and had to retreat to the ordinary passage.
It wasn't until several other troops reached the main passage and shared the strength of the enemy's counterattack that this troop fought out again.
There was a melee underground. In the middle and upper parts of the entire underground lair, the newly developed passages of the God Envoy King Army penetrated many locations. As a result, there may be troops from both sides fighting on all levels and in each passage. It is true that you have me, I There is you in it.
The battle continued until evening, when the Divine Envoy King's army retreated again. At the end of the day, although the battle was too fierce and chaotic, few enemy corpses were brought to the ground, but it was estimated that at least two to three thousand enemies were killed, and the Divine Envoy King's legion itself also suffered two to three hundred damages.
There are only about 4,000 enemies left, and the Divine Envoy King's Army once again sees hope of annihilating the enemy within a day or two!
