This is a dense bush of foxtail grass and tiger's tail grass. The single spike of foxtail grass and the multiple spikes of tiger's tail grass are all bent down heavily, and there are waves of continuous grass waves blown by the autumn wind.
On foxtail grass and tigertail grass, plump seeds are dotted on the tops of grass stems, indicating the fertility of autumn. The ground is also covered with seeds of foxtail grass and tigertail grass. The seeds with grass awns are falling everywhere. They are the harvested grain blown by the wind.
This must be a favorite feeding ground for ants, because it is a good place to collect and store grass seeds for the coming winter. But this year, there isn't even a single worker ant busy collecting.
Because this is a war zone, the absence of ant traces is the norm.
The closest to this production area is a sub-nest that originally belonged to the King's Conference faction, but it had already fallen into the hands of the Destroyer during the first attack by the Destroyer's partial division. After the entire nest was slaughtered, the Destroyer left. The King's Council faction has never regained control of this place, allowing this fertile land to turn into a dead place.
However, this land without ants has become a paradise for other wild insects. Without ants as terrifying predators, many vegetarian insects that can survive the winter will come here to forage, replenish energy, and store fat.
But today, in this lush, bustling grass that used to be bustling, there was not even a single insect looking for food. Not even the last cries of the crickets, whose time was running out in autumn, could be heard. It was extremely quiet.
Because there is a huge army of ants lurking in this grass.
The rolling 1st Army Corps is waiting in the grass. They left [Linshui City] and arrived here early in the morning after setting off in the sun. Although it is still relatively cold in the morning and evening, after the sun comes out, the temperature during the day is still relatively warm, and even beetles that are afraid of the cold can move freely.
It is precisely because of the existence of this legion that the approaching insects avoid them and do not dare to stay here.
In the sky, flying knights riding bees pass by from time to time. They control their mounts in the air to draw circles or figure-eight trajectories to convey information, and the scythe-hunting ant scouts on the top of the grass blades can follow the flight trajectories. to obtain information, and then roll down to the ground to report.
The army of Gun is here to ambush a Destroyer force, and they have been waiting for a little while.
The protagonist originally did not want to confront the Destroyers in a field battle. According to the protagonist's estimation, except for the Beetle Legion, the other legions of the God Envoy King are not sure of victory when facing the Destroyers in a field battle. Once the confrontation occurs, it will be tragic. War of attrition.
Although the Beetle Legion has a stronger assault force, it is enough to compete with an equal number of Destroyers. However, there are currently only two beetle legions in the King of Gods legion, and one of them (the 13th legion of Rambofo II) has not yet been fully formed. Only the rolling 1st Army Corps has complete combat effectiveness.
The protagonist is naturally reluctant to use such precious troops to compete with the enemy.
But today, the protagonist still sent out the Beetle Legion, targeting a small force of the Destroyer army.
After the Destroyer army regrouped from the eastern part of the ant barbarian kingdom, tens of thousands of Destroyer warriors in the southward army marched along the ant road in a long and narrow formation. The line stretched for more than a hundred meters. It looks spectacular from the air.
But this army is not a straight line, and there are also differences between forwards and defenders.
The vanguard troops, like other ants, dispersed in front of the army in a fan-shaped search and advanced to eliminate threats to the army. When they encountered damaged ant tunnels, they repaired them. When they encountered insurmountable obstacles, they found detours and marked them.
These are all routine operations. The protagonist did not pay attention to them at first. He just asked the flying knights to closely monitor the movements of the Destroyer army to see whether their first target is the King's Council faction or their own [bridgehead], and then they can carry out targeted operations. layout.
At the beginning, the Destroyer army did not advance along the route of the previous partial division, and did not advance from east to west from the eastern dense forest area. If that happens, [Bridgehead] will definitely bear the brunt.
The Destroyer army is heading south from the old territory of the Pavilion Ant Barbarian Kingdom. If it marches normally along the ant track, it should first attack the main nest of the King's Council faction, which is the southern branch of the original Paidao Ant Barbarian Kingdom. The army will not come for the time being. [Bridgehead] Below the city.
But before the protagonist could breathe a sigh of relief, in the next two days, the Flying Knights detected that the Destroyer army did not follow the ant path, but made a big turn under the guidance of the forwards. It was predicted from the trajectory that they would Perfectly avoiding the only two remaining sub-nests of the King's Council faction, they reached the [Bridgehead].
While the protagonist once again issued the order to prepare for war, he was confused about the Destroyer's big turn.
But soon, the flying knights' investigation solved the mystery.
The flying knights discovered that among the forward troops of the Destroyer army, there was a small group of troops walking at the forefront, and the direction they led determined the direction of the army's advance.
Moreover, among this small force, the flying knights observed a strange destroyer.
This Destroyer stood out among the small army, and it was difficult not to be noticed by the flying knights.
Although this Destroyer looks similar to the other two large and small Destroyers, it also has a dark carapace and a triangular head. But its size is even greater.
The giant destroyer has a body length of 25mm, which is about five times as long as the giant-headed soldier ant. This destroyer ant is 40mm long, and its shape is more like a giant beetle.
The most eye-catching thing is that this giant destroyer ant has a pair of extremely long tentacles, which are almost as long as its body. They are held in the air like antennas and keep waving in all directions.
This Destroyer with long tentacles is like a radar soldier. The direction in which his tentacles search is the direction of this small force, which ultimately determines the direction of action of the entire forward force and even the entire army of Destroyers.
Although I don’t understand how this long-tentacled destroyer ant uses its tentacles to explore, it is obvious that this exploration is very effective, and the destroyer army is heading straight for the [Bridgehead].
The protagonist decided to call this destroyer ant "Radar Destroyer" to distinguish it from the previous "Big Destroyer" and "Little Destroyer".
The protagonist still doesn’t understand the working principle of the Radar Destroyer. Even if it is a radar, it must have a reflecting target. The Angel King’s Legion and the [Bridgehead] are both on the ground. They are no different from other ant nests. However, the Radar Destroyer is Came to the door.
Since the battle is unavoidable, the protagonist simply decides to take a preemptive strike and prepare to ambush the Radar Annihilator to obtain some intelligence and understand the secrets of this latest breed of Destroyer.
