On the day the protagonist arrived at [Linshui City], the situation on the north bank of the river had been turned upside down.
The storm is changing suddenly and a blizzard is coming, and no force can survive alone!
Although the weather is getting cooler in autumn, the fire of war brought by the mysterious ants is getting hotter, igniting everything and destroying everything.
The chill of late autumn slowed down the movements of almost all ants and reduced their combat effectiveness, but it did not have any negative impact on the mysterious ants.
Last week, the main force of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, which was surrounded by the former eastern branch and now the new main nest, finally collapsed under the continuous offensive of the mysterious ants, losing all the nearby areas they controlled except the new main nest. All secondary nests.
Now, there are only less than 100,000 remnants of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army trapped in the new main nest. They are in a desperate situation and will be destroyed overnight.
However, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom still showed its tenacious side. After losing contact with the new main nest for more than half a month, the remaining secondary nests of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom were put under the command of the Western Branch Nest, and they were reorganized here. He held a new meeting of kings and formed a new legion to continue to resist the offensive of the mysterious ants.
The Western Nest is already the third ruling center established by the ant barbarian kingdom this year. At the same time, this is also the last branch of the pavement ant barbarian kingdom.
Now, the territory and comprehensive strength that the western branch can control is less than one-third of what it was during the period when the Paved Ant Barbarians were completely victorious, but they are already the last hope for the Paved Ant Barbarians to resist foreign aggression. Once defeated, even if the paving ant barbarian country is as dead as a centipede insect, it will never be able to recover.
After basically wiping out the main force of the pavement ant barbarian army that had nested in the east, the mysterious ants, in addition to the large army that was still besieging the remaining pavement ant defenders that had nested in the east, sent another force of more than 10,000 troops along the upper The route of this invasion led to the invasion of the territory of the Great King's Council faction.
It was almost exactly the same as the script of the last invasion. The mysterious ant army conquered several sub-nests in an unstoppable manner and marched in front of the [Bridgehead].
In fact, after the troops of the King's Council faction finally expelled the mysterious ant army, although they recovered the previously fallen sub-nests, they were unable to restore the production capacity of these sub-nests, and they did not station many defenders here. .
The several auxiliary nests before [Bridgehead] only serve as an early warning and buffer.
After the battle with the mysterious ants, the male ants of the King's Conference faction planned in advance how to deal with the next war.
Based on the successful experience of the last battle, they pinned their hopes on relying on the solid city defense of the [Bridgehead] to defend and counterattack. The defense facilities here were designed by the protagonist himself. The original intention of the design was to resist the siege of a large number of enemies with a small number of troops.
Last time, the army of the King's Conference faction relied on the city defense here to delay the enemy for several days, creating conditions for the army to gather for counterattack.
But this time, the male ants of the King's Conference faction miscalculated. This time, the mysterious ant army came in larger numbers and with greater force.
The several secondary nests that served as buffers before [Bridgehead] fell one after another in just one or two days. The defenders of [Bridgehead] were immediately involved in the war after receiving the alarm, and had no chance to strengthen their defenses. .
Moreover, the mysterious ants seem to have a strong learning ability. They have obviously learned from the failure of the last battle. When attacking [Bridgehead], they not only attacked the firmly fortified front of [Bridgehead], but also climbed up from other trees [ The linden tree where the "Bridgehead" is located, then dives down from the trunk to the "Bridgehead" at the root of the tree, breaking through its outer defense line in one fell swoop.
After the battle turned into a street battle in the Chaos, the fate of the [Bridgehead]'s fall was inevitable.
The main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was assembled in the southern branch of the original paved ant barbarian country and now the main nest of the King's Conference faction, has completed its assembly and preparations for the expedition as quickly as possible.
But when this army had just set off and had not yet reached the front line [Bridgehead], news of its fall was received.
Under the central command of the Public Security King, the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army hurriedly entered the nearby [Target A] to defend.
As expected by the Public Security King, the mysterious ant army arrived very quickly. They did not rest at all after conquering the [Bridgehead], and continued to invade westward without stopping.
[Target A] was the first to bear the brunt. If the Northern Expeditionary Army had not entered the lair in time, it would have probably been defeated in the field.
After all, this time the Northern Expeditionary Army did not have several times the strength advantage over the enemy. Moreover, in the last battle, the elite troops of the Northern Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses. Although they received some supplements, their combat effectiveness could not be restored so quickly.
Although the city defense facilities of [Target A] are far weaker than [Bridgehead], after all, they have nests to rely on, and the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army is also superior in number. Although the exchange ratio is not good in street battles, they still firmly defend this place and block it. Followed by the mysterious ant army sweeping through the territory.
Just relying on defense is not enough to defeat the enemy. The main nest of the King's Conference faction is quenching its thirst by mobilizing the combat potential of the entire territory. Except for a small number of old, weak, sick and disabled ants left in each deputy nest, almost all the others are still responsible for collecting food. Both soldier ants and worker ants are recruited as warriors and logistical transporters.
A steady stream of ant teams gathered from nearby secondary nests into the main nest. After reorganization, the second batch of reinforcements consisting of 41 legions, led by Senior Brother King, rushed to [Target A] to support the defenders.
The two waves of reinforcements totaled 100,000 people, which was the limit that the entire King's Conference faction could mobilize. The King's Conference faction could not even provide logistical support for this large army for a long time. Anyway, most of the soldiers in this army will be sacrificed by then.
The Second Support Army, which had filled all the hopes of the King's Council faction, finally broke through a corner of the [Target A] encirclement net and joined the defenders after paying a heavy price.
Then the two armies joined forces, intending to take advantage of a corner of the enemy's defense network to be defeated, and the army was scattered and surrounded without gathering, and took the initiative to attack, catching the enemy by surprise.
Unexpectedly, the mysterious ants were extremely tenacious and powerful in combat. At the cost of destroying hundreds of mysterious ants in a deadly battle, they bought time for the main force to assemble.
The counterattack of the assembled mysterious ants was like a prairie fire, like mountains collapsing, winds sweeping through them, and water rushing into the sky, quickly defeating the Northern Expeditionary Army.
The Northern Expeditionary Army was defeated!
The faction of the King's Conference immediately fell into a huge crisis. They no longer had the ability to form a force strong enough to resist the enemy!
