After the battle, the sun was already high in the sky and the temperature was rising. It was obvious that the protagonist could no longer catch up on his sleep.
At this time, the ants can move around without carrying the mysterious ball. The protagonist sets up a sentry post outside the camp and returns underground. The ant warriors are busy cleaning the battlefield, disposing of the corpses, and peeling off the mysterious balls for storage.
The protagonist asked the messenger to call all the legion commanders and found a place to hold a meeting.
At the meeting, the protagonist communicated with the male ants, reminding them that they must attach great importance to the combat effectiveness of the Destroyer. After two battles, these commanders also intuitively understood the terror of their enemies.
In the two battles during the day and night yesterday, the performance of the six legions was difficult to satisfy the protagonist. Although there are also problems with the Divine Envoy King's own command errors, such as neglecting to take precautions at night, the protagonist does not want to delve into his own problems and blames them on his subordinates. This can be considered a weakness of his character.
The protagonist showed the achievements of several elite legions under his command, hoping to inspire the fighting spirit of the current legions under his command. He also noticed that the morale of the commanders of the current legions was somewhat low.
After some encouragement, the protagonist began to assign tasks. He first ordered the 22nd Army and the 23rd Army to be responsible for expanding the camp today. It should be built according to the underground defense facilities like [Bridgehead]. If it is too late, the construction can be simplified and there will be a few more spares. The entrance and exit can no longer be blocked underground and massacred.
The protagonist has foreseen that the operation to relieve [Trench City] may last for several days. If the Destroyer launches a night attack every night, the current camp will be simply vulnerable.
Therefore, it is necessary to build a strong camping ground that can cope with the battles every night and protect the safety of the defenders.
In addition, because the 24th Army suffered heavy losses, almost completely annihilated, and the army commander was also killed, how to deal with the 24th Army's designation has also become an issue. Should it be rebuilt or abandoned? Participants all gave their opinions.
The protagonist does not intend to remove him from the organization. He decides to appoint a squad commander of the 19th Legion who performed well in the battle against the Destroyers on the ground with him this morning as the new commander of the 24th Legion, ordering him to lead The team directly under him and the few remaining troops of the 24th Legion immediately returned to the main nest [Qingqiu City].
They will immediately start recruiting troops to rebuild the 24th Legion after arriving at [Qingqiu City]. [Qingqiu City] has abundant troops, so recruiting is not a problem, but training and waiting for weapons and equipment will probably take a while, especially weapons and equipment. The protagonist's one hundred legion army expansion plan has caused the current supply of copper weapons to be extremely tight. It is estimated that not all legions will be equipped with weapons this year.
In addition, the protagonist also issued an order to [Qingqiu City], asking Lambofei who stayed behind to form a transportation team to transport a small batch of food to the camp.
Although the other ant warriors still have plenty of energy and do not need to eat for the time being. However, after a high-intensity battle, sooner or later you will need to replenish energy, and you must prepare for a rainy day.
In addition, the protagonist frequently enters the state of "God descends to earth" during the battle, which consumes a lot of energy. Yesterday, he asked his subordinates to find food to satisfy his hunger. However, during this time of chaos, the subordinates also found some vegetarian food. The energy contained in the food was very limited, which made the protagonist feel hungry all the time and wanted to eat high-calorie fat and honeydew.
In addition to delivering food, the protagonist also asked [Qingqiu City] to deliver some ballistae. At this time, there are still twelve ballistae in [Qingqiu City], which is the result of the overtime work of the craftsmen team all winter. It was originally planned to equip the reorganized army after the spring. The protagonist asked [Qingqiu City] to transport two gates first to strengthen the underground defense of the camp.
Finally, the protagonist has a separate information package entrusted to the messenger to be delivered to the Second Secretary: He orders the scientific research team to use the recent production capacity of the copper-smelting blast furnace to make a weapon for himself.
The protagonist had a copper hammer before, but he left it in Linshui City. Moreover, the attack range of the copper hammer was too small. Facing the Destroyer, it felt like we and the enemy were both in danger. If you were not careful, you would be in danger.
The protagonist used the wooden stick to show off his power this morning, but he felt that the wooden stick was too light and unusable, and it was broken by the end of the battle.
The protagonist wants the research team to make a long copper weapon. The whole thing is a long stick. There should be a weighted ball at the back end for easy holding. There should be a sharp copper spearhead at the front, and there are copper thorns sticking out around it, similar to That feeling of a mace.
The weight of such a weapon compared to the weight of an ant is really no less than that of the little monsters hit by Sun Wukong's Ruyi Golden Cudgel weighing 13,500 kilograms. They will die if they are touched or rubbed. Death. There are also spear points and copper thorns on it. Whether it is smashed, stabbed, swept or picked, it has great lethality.
The protagonist doesn't know whether the weapon he described like this can be understood by Xiao Mi II and the scientific research team, or whether they can make a mold and cast it into shape. This is already the most complex task the scientific research team has received. . Maybe we still need to wait until the war is over and the protagonist can go back to provide guidance in person before we can create it.
This copper mace will definitely not be made within a few days, but the protagonist still has to participate in the battle. He asked his subordinates to find some long wooden sticks similar to the ones used this morning from nearby as his temporary weapons.
The protagonist estimates that [Trench City] has not been under that much pressure in the past two days. The army he commanded has wiped out hundreds of Destroyers in the past two days. The enemy will definitely have to adjust its deployment to deal with his reinforcements and will not be able to attack the city with all its strength.
After the meeting was over and all legions were properly arranged, the protagonist once again led the 19th legion, the 20th legion, and the 22nd legion to attack. Although the protagonist is still a little sleepy, the other ants just take a nap and are still full of energy, which does not affect the battle.
I am the dividing line
Today, the protagonist does not intend to attack the Destroyer. After two battles yesterday, day and night, the troops he can bring out today are only three legions with certain battle losses. The strength is less than half of yesterday, and it is really not suitable for a head-on fight with the enemy.
In the air, the flying knights from [Qingqiu City] have arrived. After landing and accepting the protagonist's order, these flying knights closely watched everything nearby in the air.
The flying knights soon received information. As expected, the Destroyers had deployed a large number of troops on the ground, numbering in the thousands. This group of destroyers has not taken action yet.
But when the army of the God Envoy King arrived about half an hour away from the Destroyer, the stationary Destroyers suddenly seemed to be disturbed by something, and they came towards the protagonist and killed them aggressively.
The flying knights quickly warned, and the protagonist estimated the strength of the enemy and ourselves, and found that there was no chance of winning in a head-on battle!
