The number of enemies in this attack was obviously larger and the attack was fierce. It was obvious that the enemies had reinforcements, and perhaps their main force had already arrived.
Without information, the protagonist can only make guesses.
Facing the second attack, the sentinels of the Divine Envoy King's Legion, who had been prepared for a long time, were not caught off guard this time. They retreated alertly and warned at the same time, without suffering any casualties.
The sentries passed through the path reserved between the two corpses of the Destroyer on the preset battlefield, and soon hid within the shelter of the ballista, finally feeling completely safe.
Shortly after the Destroyer emerged from the other end of the preset battlefield, the ballista fired one round first, and the stone bullets were fired at the enemy from the gap between the top of the Destroyer's body and the cave ceiling. Although this gap was not enough for the Destroyer to climb, Come over, but enough for a stone bullet to pass through.
At such a close distance, both stone bullets passed through the gap smoothly and shot forward. However, one shot missed and hit the earth wall near the entrance, splashing a large cloud of dust and making the Destroyers below look disgraced.
Another stone bullet hit an unlucky Destroyer who was coming out of the hole, smashing its head into pieces and leaving it dead.
The Destroyers didn't care about the ballista strikes, and they quickly swarmed to the corpse.
Behind the corpse, a small group of God's Envoy King warriors were on standby, ready to continue using the previous tug-of-war tactics to interfere with the enemy's advance, with the purpose of delaying time.
But this time, instead of tug-of-war, the Destroyers had a new tactic. They tried hard to push the two corpses to both sides, trying to carve a way out of the middle.
The soldiers on the front line of the Divine Envoy King didn't react for a moment, and even the team commander was a little confused and didn't know how to deal with it.
The protagonist secretly said "No"!
Sure enough, before the protagonist could send out the messengers, the Destroyer had squeezed out a crack from the corpse in a short time, and a huge Destroyer's head and jaws stretched out.
In the flash of lightning, the jaws of the Destroyer expanded and retracted, opened and closed, and the confused team commander was pinched in two from the waist before he could even escape.
This vitality male ant is not dead yet. His lower body is still hanging on the jaws of the Destroyer. After landing, his upper body ran very fast under the drag of the remaining limbs. He wanted to run back to the formation. If it weren't for the wound section, With the blood and organ fragments dripping down, it was impossible to tell that he was injured.
But the Destroyer struck again and completely killed the male ant. The body of the male ant was cut into three pieces, and the unwilling light in the huge compound eyes dissipated.
The protagonist regrets that he temporarily changed the front-line team. The commander of the team just now was very clever. If he was here, he would not be so embarrassed when facing the enemy's new tactics, and he would not die.
The protagonist was determined to promote the male ant, so he sent his team to the relatively safe rear, and replaced another team to perform the "tug of war" mission. Unexpectedly, the commander of this team was killed.
The team on the front line lost their commander and didn't know what to do. They just instinctively fought against the Destroyer who poked his head out.
The Destroyer, with only its head exposed, was almost invincible in close combat. The warriors of the God's Envoy King could not even besiege or retreat, and soon left behind several more corpses.
The protagonist hurriedly ordered another team to replace the frontline team, and urged the ballista to reload quickly.
These crossbow gunners are temporarily trained and have a slow reloading speed. Finally, a ballista was loaded first, and the protagonist personally aimed and fired it, hitting the Destroyer between the two corpses, turning it into the third corpse blocking the road.
There was a commotion among the Destroyers, and they were temporarily separated from the defenders. The defenders took the opportunity to complete the rotation and replace the team that lost its commander.
But the calm only lasted for a short while. Perhaps the Destroyer Commander gave the order. The Destroyers actually started biting and cutting up the corpses of their companions, quickly biting the two corpses into large pieces, and the other corpse. Obviously it will be destroyed soon.
The first Destroyer had bloody marks on its face and mouth, which were the remains of a bitten corpse emerging from the corpse fragments.
The protagonist fired another stone projectile, causing it to completely close its jaws.
However, the enemy's destruction of corpses was obviously much faster than the reloading speed of the ballistae. Soon, the enemy forced the defenders into close combat.
The Legion of the Divine Envoy King had to send squads one by one to "send death". The time that one squad delayed with their flesh and blood was just enough time for two ballistas to fire twice.
Although due to proper organization, the male ants and some warriors of these teams were able to withdraw, each team paid thirty or forty casualties in exchange for only killing three or four Destroyers, and the exchange ratio was not worthwhile.
But the protagonist has no choice. The ballista position must be defended. The second line of defense has not been built yet, so the Destroyer cannot be just let go.
Fortunately, as both sides suffered more and more casualties, the long and narrow preset battlefield became even more crowded.
Although the battle line was getting closer to the ballista positions, the Destroyers had to spend more time and effort squeezing through corpses and wreckage to reach the fighting area.
However, the Destroyers, with their commanders at their disposal, were also very adaptable. They quickly began to clean up the battlefield on their own and carried the corpses outside. These corpses would have to be evacuated after they won anyway. The Flying Knights observed the Destroyers transporting corpses northward on the ice in the opposite direction to the southbound reinforcements.
The battle situation began to go against the defenders. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but the battle line also moved little by little towards the ballista positions, and soon the ballistas would also be in danger.
As a last resort, the protagonist ordered the ballista to be dismantled and retreated. Three teams used their flesh and blood to block the enemy without the cover of the ballista, allowing the protagonist and the ballista to retreat to the back.
Before the defense line at the back was built, the protagonist found a big stone, blocked the only passage with the power of "gods descending from the earth", and even tightened it tightly.
At this time, there are still warriors on the battlefield who are still resisting tenaciously, but the protagonist has no choice but to abandon them and seal them and the enemy outside the stone.
After about a few minutes, the protagonist leaned his tentacles against the mud wall and heard the noisy fighting sounds in the battlefield stopped. Apparently, all the warriors of the God Envoy King inside had been sacrificed.
After a while, the protagonist felt a slight movement on the stone that his front two limbs were pressing against, and the Destroyers began to try to push away this annoying stone that was in the way.
Due to the narrow passage, only a few Destroyers can push hard at a time. The protagonist does not need to enter the "God descends to earth" state, and can easily make the stone motionless with one hand.
Hiding behind the boulder, the defenders are safe for the time being!
