The so-called backup plan is to take advantage of the enemy's passive mobilization of troops caused by the surprise attack of the rolling army after the attempt to attack Huanglong and win a quick victory fails, so as to weaken the enemy's war potential as much as possible and strive to end the war as soon as possible.
Starting from May 12th, Gun's army voluntarily evacuated the deputy nest guarded by the second senior brother. Even though the second senior brother only had a few remaining soldiers and would be annihilated in just one or two hours, the army did not miss it.
Orders and prohibitions are exactly the characteristics given to this army by the protagonist.
Gun's troops retreated all the way to the "Inula Flower City" by the Inula Sea. This is a traffic artery. Controlling this area can control the eastward and southeasterly traffic of the Queen Ant's inheritance faction.
At the same time, Rambowan's other army also received orders. They no longer chased the main enemy force heading south, but began to seize strategic points.
The enemy's information transmission is definitely much slower than that of the God Envoy King's army. The enemy's main force still doesn't know that their "real main nest" is safe, and they are still speeding up according to the original plan.
The delay in enemy intelligence and information gave the Divine Envoy King's army a precious two or three days. During these two or three days, Rambowan's troops had to quickly seize three other traffic arteries that were like the "Spiritual Flower City".
As long as these four transportation arteries are controlled, the connection between the main nest of the Queen Ant inheritance faction and the vast territory in the western and central part of the kingdom can be severed.
At that time, the Divine Envoy King's army can maneuver and defend in the four auxiliary nests to block the enemy's main force from moving north or east. With the bonus of defensive facilities, only four or five legions are needed to be stationed, and it will be difficult for the enemy to break through with the existing troops.
The Divine Envoy King's army can free up its hands and quickly capture the territory that has been separated from the Queen Ant's inheritance faction. These territories have already been mobilized on a large scale once before. With limited ant colonies and troops, and without the command of the "real main nest", it is only a matter of time before they are defeated one by one.
The Queen Ant inheritance faction can only control a quarter of the current territory near its main nest. Such a small territory is difficult to support the long-term consumption of the current tens of thousands of troops.
These troops not only consume a large amount of materials because of the war, but also occupy a large number of labor ant colonies. Maintaining such a high proportion of a standing army for a long time will be disastrous to the economy of the ant queen's inheritance faction.
This is the protagonist's backup plan. This plan has been hatched before the plan of Gun's army to raid the "real main nest". After all, such battles as raiding and occupying "Qingqiu City" are not always tried and true, and the protagonist also Already expected.
——I am the dividing line——
The situation develops just as the protagonist expected. As the Divine Envoy King's army takes control of four sub-nests located on traffic thoroughfares, including the "Twisting Flower City", the main force of the Queen's inheritance faction is trapped in the "real main nest" The surrounding area has lost contact with large tracts of territory further north.
The army of the ant queen's inheritance faction finally reacted and began to attack a sub-nest in the northwest of the "Twisted Flower City". However, due to the detection of the flying knights, the enemy's large-scale troop mobilization was unable to escape.
The Angel King's legions were reorganized, and Rambotu commanded four legions to rush to the defense. The army of the ant queen's inheritance faction was besieged for more than a month without making any progress, and instead suffered heavy losses.
The remaining six legions, led by Gun and Rambo Wan respectively, used this time to sweep through large areas of the ant queen's inheritance faction.
And as the new generation of educated male ants sent from "Qingqiu City" settled in various sub-nests, the stable rule of the Divine Envoy King's army over the local area was officially established.
The ant queen's inheritance faction has lost a large area of territory, and the balance of power has been completely tilted.
As the war intensified, the ant queen's inheritance faction had to recruit troops again, and sent wave after wave of reinforcements to the battlefield of the sub-nest guarded by Rambotu, and they were smashed into pieces by the meat grinder. The protagonist later referred to this sub-nest as "Meat Grinder City".
In the territory of the queen ant inheritance faction, the economy has deteriorated sharply as expected. The reduction of the working ant population has caused their food income to drop sharply, and the frontline troops have to divide their forces to find food.
The protagonist continues to recharge his troops. Except for Rambotu's troops who are still defending, the other legions have begun to replenish their troops, train, and prepare for the counterattack.
The Queen Ant's inheritance faction did not sit still and wait for death. After trying to break through the "Meat Grinder City" to no avail, the second senior brother led a group of the most elite troops to try to fight in the "Spiritual Flower City", but they were still discovered in advance by the Flying Knight.
Gun's troops rushed to garrison at "Xuanhuahuacheng" and not only blocked the enemy's attack, but also eliminated a large number of enemies through counterattacks.
From the decline in the enemy's combat effectiveness, the protagonist determines that the time is ripe for counterattack.
However, just before the Angel King's army officially counterattacked, the Ant Queen's inheritance faction army took a move that was unexpected by the protagonist.
They took the initiative to attack the remaining members of the big-headed ants with whom they had a good relationship.
As foreign ants, the Big-headed Ant survivors settled in the southwest of the Kingdom because they are of the same race as the Big-headed Ant Kingdom. They have always had a good relationship with the ant queen's inheritance faction. Even the protagonist got to know the Big-headed Ant survivors through the introduction of the oldest king. , and gained a lot.
The Big-headed Ant survivors also turned a blind eye to the civil war between the Angel King's Legion and the Ant Queen's inheritance faction. They had received promises from both to help restore the country.
But as the ant queen's inheritance faction is on the verge of failure, especially after extreme food shortages, the technologically "advanced" Big-headed ant survivors have become their target. After all, although the Big-headed Ant survivors only have one nest, their food production is still very abundant.
The queen ant inheritance faction dispatched half of its troops to suddenly launch an attack on the big-headed ant survivors. The big-headed ant survivors were caught off guard, but they still successfully resisted with their few beetle troops.
The queen ant inheritance faction failed to quickly defeat the big-headed ant remnant, and instead was restrained by nearly half of the army.
After the protagonist learned the news, he immediately ordered a full-scale counterattack.
The three armies of Gun, Lambowan, and Lambotu immediately moved forward, quickly defeated the enemy in front of them, and met outside the "real main nest" on July 27.
On July 28, the Angel King's army defeated the enemy's main force in the field, captured the "real main nest", and killed most of the enemy's high-level queens and male ants. The queen ant inheritance faction was basically destroyed.
However, Lao Wang and the second senior brother were returning from the battlefield where they attacked the Big-headed Ant survivors and had not yet returned, so they were not captured or killed in the battle.
The last force of this queen ant inheritance faction was about 10,000 strong. After learning that the "real main nest" had fallen, they immediately gathered together with the remaining companions in the sub-nests, voluntarily gave up the remaining territory, and then turned to escape. He entered the mountainous area in the south and escaped the flying knight's detection under the cover of dense forest.
At this point, the Divine Envoy King's army has completely unified the territory of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
