Time passed very quickly during the battle. Even though the ballista didn't seem to have fired many rounds, the sun had already moved due south.
But for the onlookers, the time passed by so quickly, but the warriors of the Divine Envoy King on the front line felt like seconds passed by like the sun.
So far, hundreds of Destroyers have broken free from the net ropes and got in. In order to eliminate these enemies, Rambofer II's 13th Legion has paid as many as four to five hundred casualties, with a few injured and many dead. .
There are also thousands of Destroyers hanging on the protective net, and new enemies will get in at any time to launch an attack.
Fortunately, the space of the protective net is only that big. As the Destroyers fill up all the net holes at the bottom, some of the Destroyers climbing to higher places have reached their limit. After all, under the joint action of many Destroyers, the protective net has been constantly moving. Regular shaking. Destroyers who want to climb higher must not only climb over the smooth backs of their comrades, but also overcome the violent shaking of the net rope, which is not easy.
Therefore, the Destroyers finally gave up their plan to climb higher and blocked themselves behind the protective net. Wherever there were holes, they immediately filled their positions.
More and more Destroyers got in, and the attacks became more and more fierce.
As a group of more than a dozen Destroyers were finally surrounded and annihilated, more than 20 Destroyers gathered at the ropes of the net. They no longer rushed into the formation alone, but learned to assemble into small groups and then attack. In this way The threat is even greater.
There must be a Destroyer responsible for command among the enemies, otherwise they wouldn't be able to play so flexibly.
The protagonist really wants to find the commanders of those destroyers. These commanders may be male ants, a command system similar to that of pavement ants and big-headed ants, or they may be a command system dominated by female ants like the hunting ants.
However, the naked eye cannot see the presence of a commander among the many destroyers, nor can the ants' usual tentacles communicate. Maybe these destroyers communicate using scents that other ants can't smell and ultrasonic and infrasound waves that they can't hear. The protagonist can only guess so.
This team of more than 20 Destroyers was hit by crossbows. A huge stone bomb and more than 20 shotguns hit them one after another, achieving certain results.
But the Destroyers were too fast. After speeding up, they quickly fought with the warriors of the Envoy King, making the most threatening ballistae unable to work.
In order to eliminate this enemy, the 13th Army suffered hundreds of battle losses and took nearly half an hour to complete the task.
At this time, a large team of nearly fifty Destroyers gathered near the net rope.
The Destroyers obviously also found that it was safe near the inside of the protective net. The ant head wall protected them like a barrier. The God Envoy King's army would never dare to counterattack in front of the dense ant head wall. That would be courting death.
Although they have to endure the firing of the ballistae, the torsion spring and the gunner of the ballistae are tired because of the constant firing, and the rate of fire has dropped to one shot every two or three minutes. The Destroyers who gathered together to bury their heads can endure it. Losses from ballistae.
When this team of more than fifty Destroyers braved a volley of crossbow fire into the ranks of the 13th Legion, they persisted for a long time. Although they had gone through a lot of fighting, the military formation that had never collapsed finally wavered.
The power of more than forty Destroyers who survived the rain of crossbow shells and attacked together was not more than forty times the power of a single Destroyer's attack, but increased exponentially.
With just one attack by this destroyer, one-third of the tight military formation of the 13th Legion fell into collapse and chaos. The battered team would not be able to find soldiers, and the soldiers would not be able to find generals.
The Destroyers took the opportunity to kill many team commanders, further intensifying the chaos in the Legion of the God Envoy King.
These destroyers broke through all the way to the center of the military formation, almost killing Rambofo II, trying to execute a beheading tactic. If there weren't still some teams that formed desperate formations to block it, and the momentum of the Destroyer's assault had been exhausted, they would almost have succeeded.
But even if they are caught in a melee, the Destroyers who cooperate with each other can still kill everyone. In this case, even though the copper jaw knife can break through many of the Destroyer's weaknesses, the warriors of the Divine Envoy King with weak defenses are often defeated by the enemy. If you hit an instant kill, you have to pay five or six times the price to kill the enemy.
At this time, the Destroyers who got through the ropes continued to gather on the spot. This time, the 13th Legion might not have time to destroy the previous wave of enemies, and would be attacked again.
The protagonist sees that the 13th Legion has reached its limit, and he orders the 15th Legion to come to the battlefield immediately to provide support.
Now is not the time to use the Beetle Legion. With the assault power of the Beetle Legion, it will only cause a large number of casualties regardless of the enemy or ourselves.
If possible, the protagonist still hopes to win the defensive battle with ordinary infantry legions, and also train several new legions.
At the same time, the protagonist and his squad of guards rushed to support Rambofer II's legion.
In the previous explosion of the mysterious ball, the protagonist's guard team suffered heavy losses, including Hua Mulan's body. Most of the current members of the Guards Team are newly recruited, but they are also elite veterans.
The current captain of the guard team is a soldier ant who has received a lot of high-end food supplies. He is a member of the soldier ant plan that the protagonist suddenly came up with after experimenting with the worker ants.
This captain is larger than the other soldier ants. According to other male ants' comments, he has an excellent figure and beautiful carapace, far better than ordinary soldier ants. Therefore, the protagonist simply named her "Tianxian". And his intelligence is not low either.
However, compared to ordinary soldier ants, the combat effectiveness of giant soldier ants is relatively limited, and the improvement in intelligence and appearance is not very useful. Compared with the large amount of high-end food consumed, the output ratio is quite low.
Therefore, the army ants stopped cultivating only a few. Tianxian was the best among them, and he was smart and good at understanding the protagonist's meaning, so he was transferred to serve as the new captain of the imperial guard.
The protagonist has long wanted to fight the Destroyer himself to test his depth. Now that we have a defensive advantage and are covered by the Guards Squad and the 13th Legion, it is an excellent fighting opportunity.
Moreover, the Divine Envoy King personally defeats enemies who are good at fighting, which can also boost the morale of other male ants.
The protagonist quickly entered the battlefield with a copper hammer. When he faced a Destroyer, he didn't notice the protagonist and was hit hard in the abdomen by the protagonist with a hammer.
His abdomen was almost flattened by a hammer, with a huge pit shockingly leaking blood and internal organ fragments. The Destroyer immediately opened its jaws as if it was wailing in pain.
But even after suffering such serious injuries, the Destroyer did not die immediately. He actually bit a Divine Envoy King warrior in front of him with all his strength, and did not let go until death. They both died together.
The other Destroyers, who originally liked to kill the male ants first, immediately noticed the protagonist who was killing them in front of them.
