When the heavy rain subsided slightly but sporadic rain was still falling in the sky, the Destroyers finally ended their miserable state of fighting against natural disasters individually and began to organize the rescue of their trapped or drowning compatriots.
Unlike other ants, there seems to be no clear distinction between male ants and worker ants among the destroyers. All the big destroyers look almost exactly the same, and no one ant can be seen giving obvious instructions.
All the action instructions of the Destroyer are completed through mutual communication between individuals, quite like a cloud ant.
While the Destroyer was busy providing disaster relief, the scouts in [Target A] who were sent outside to conduct reconnaissance discovered the chaos surrounding the Destroyer's lair.
Since the rainwater collects and flows south towards the river, the south of the nest circle is the direction where the Destroyer suffered the most losses, and the order here is also the most chaotic.
After the scouts fed the information back to the male ants, the Public Security King organized an emergency meeting for all the male ants.
Now, there are not many surviving kings in the Northern Expedition Army, so this meeting is not limited to the kings, but also involves the kings.
At the meeting, the most senior kings, including the Public Security King, Senior Brother King and Flying Eagle King, all agreed that now was a good time to break out of the encirclement.
Finally, the Northern Expeditionary Army decided to take advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement immediately, first breaking through from the south where the enemy's defenses were weak, and then waiting for an opportunity to turn and return to the main nest.
So far, the Northern Expedition Army still does not know that their main nest no longer exists.
[Target A] was busy. All the ants were busy. Some were eating desperately to fill their stomachs, some were gathering teams, and some were carrying some materials that could not be discarded.
Although a few kings such as the King of Public Security were determined to set off lightly and break through quickly.
However, since the King's Council faction managed to restore the minimum number of ant queens this year, the newly formed King's Council has an order to preserve the ant queen as much as possible. Therefore, the breakout force chose to bring along the burden of the slow-moving queen ant.
This precious queen ant is in childbirth mode, her belly is bloated, and she won't lose weight in a short time. She can only be supported by four worker ants.
Those worker ants in nests that had not been organized by military groups were temporarily organized into various squads and legions.
Anyway, the current establishment of the Northern Expeditionary Army is dissatisfied. There are serious shortages in each unit and they can absorb these workers.
Although Flying Eagle received the title of king recognized by the King's Conference, the Northern Expeditionary Army had very few troops, and he failed to obtain the coveted position of legion commander, and was still doing the job of a flying knight.
After just half an hour of preparation, the Northern Expeditionary Army in [Target A] has completed preparations for a breakout.
As several kings communicated, the order to break out was immediately conveyed.
The Northern Expeditionary Army led the First Brother King's legion as the vanguard, and the Public Security King's legion covered the queen in the second team. The remaining three legions quickly left the nest in a linear fashion.
Due to the severe rain damage, the Destroyer's surveillance troops that were not far from the entrance to [Target A] have all left and are busy with disaster relief. The Northern Expeditionary Army encountered no obstacles in its initial operations.
After advancing south for a while and bypassing a huge pool of water, the eldest brother's army encountered some sporadic destroyers.
The troops to which these Destroyers belonged suffered a devastating blow in the previous heavy rain. Many of their companions were drowned, and some struggled alive and were washed into the river by the rapids.
The number of survivors was small, and they had lost their command and organization. Many of them were injured, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Although these sporadic destroyers still resisted the breakout troops of the Northern Expeditionary Army, they were obviously unable to stop the determined enemy.
"Don't chase the enemy when you're in trouble." When an army is bent on retreating or breaking through, the combat effectiveness that can burst out is extremely terrifying.
The male ant commanders in the Northern Expeditionary Army who were originally extremely afraid of death, after learning that they would definitely die if they stayed in [Target A], and now that they still have a chance to survive, they all became brave and unafraid of death. Naturally, the ant warriors under their command also did so. Fight bravely to be the first.
After annihilating the few Huimeishe in front of him, the senior brother reported to the rear that no enemy had escaped. He believed that as long as there was no enemy warning to his main force, the enemy would not find out that he had broken through in a short period of time, and he could buy a lot of time.
But the big brother obviously doesn't know that the way the destroyers communicate is very different from other ants.
When the eldest brother defeated the sporadic Destroyers, the other Destroyers had already learned about the battle taking place here. Although they were busy saving themselves, the Destroyer's large army still separated a group of about two hundred troops from north to south, and quickly marched northward to break out of the encirclement.
Although nearly invincible in the field, Destroyer troops can't travel any faster than other ants.
If the Northern Expeditionary Army had broken through lightly as planned by the King of Public Security, it would have been entirely possible for them to retreat before the enemy's pursuers arrived. Even if their target main nest had actually fallen, they would actually have no way to retreat.
The Destroyer's pursuers finally caught up with the rear of the Northern Expeditionary Army after the breakout force arrived at the muddy river.
Although the number of the two hundred or so Destroyers is far inferior to the five or six thousand Northern Expeditionary Army, in the field battle, the organized Destroyers are extremely powerful, and in less than a minute they have completely wiped out the Northern Expeditionary Army at the rear. rout.
The public security king and other kings in the front only learned that the enemy's pursuers were coming after the rear troops were defeated, and hurriedly organized another legion to intercept them.
At this time, the Destroyers had divided their forces into three groups, forming a large net that blocked the Northern Expeditionary Army's escape routes in all directions except the river.
The Big Brother King organized several elite squads to attack to the death, trying to open a way to the west, but hundreds of warriors were slaughtered in front of just a few dozen Destroyers.
The remnants of the Northern Expeditionary Army were in a desperate situation, constantly being squeezed by the destroyers. There were enemies in the east, west, and north directions. Only the river in the south, which had become turbulent due to heavy rain, had no enemies.
——I am the dividing line——
In the end, less than a few hundred ants escaped from the Northern Expedition, and the rest became corpses in the mud on the shore.
These hundreds of ants did not successfully break through. They fled from the only direction without enemies to the floating objects that appeared due to rain on the river, and left the shore with the help of the current.
Escape into the water is also a routine operation for ants when facing unbeatable enemies.
This is how the remains of big-headed ants came to this basin, and this is how parasitic ants fled into the swamp area. Ants such as red fire ants do not even need floating objects during floods, and can form floating ant blankets themselves.
Now, the remaining troops of the Northern Expeditionary Army also escaped with this, being carried by the current, and soon drifted past [Linshui City], and flowed to the unsuspecting downstream world!
