The ballistae moved from [Trench City] is not as powerful as the smaller version of the ballistae on the "tank". It has a longer range and greater power because there are more ants to control and the rate of fire is also lower. Faster.
After sacrificing range to launch larger stone projectiles, the already dense Destroyer formation suffered extremely heavy losses under the hail of bullets.
Stone bullets continuously penetrated and ricocheted among the Destroyers, and the shattered solid outer carapace of the Destroyers scattered like shell fragments, cutting off the tentacles of their partners and blinding their compound eyes. Almost every stone bullet can cause double-digit casualties.
Among the only two Destroyer commanders left, one also died in the stone bombardment. The other commander lost contact with the deceased. Seeing that the situation was not good, he issued a breakout mission in the Destroyer's unique way. instruction.
But it could only command five hundred Destroyers relatively smoothly, and the rest were running around like headless flies, but it couldn't care less.
The protagonist quickly noticed this group of Destroyers breaking out in an organized manner. Shi Dan frantically called here, and the three main legions under Gun's command also tried their best to intercept this enemy force, while those Destroyers who had no command and broke out scatteredly. It was left to the [Trench City] defenders and the Sickle Ant Hunter warriors to deal with it.
The Army of the God Envoy King was lucky. Another stone bullet killed the last commander hidden among the Destroyers. The Destroyers completely lost their wisdom. The threat was greatly reduced under the scattered sand, and they no longer maintained a tight formation. This gave the God Envoy King's army the opportunity to divide and encircle them.
The Destroyer, who has lost his command, can only rely on the powerful **, but the God's Envoy King's Legion has even dealt with the more powerful mantises and locusts, so naturally they will not be afraid.
After a great battle, the Legion of God's Envoy King
Finally, this force of 1,500 Destroyers was annihilated. This was the largest number of enemies that the Angel King's army had ever wiped out in a field battle. It also made the protagonist more confident. At least, the Destroyers were not in the field. Invincible.
Of course, for this victory, the God's Envoy King's army also paid a lot of losses.
Although the [Trench City] defenders did not suffer many losses in the defensive battle and subsequent encirclement and annihilation battles on the ground, they only lost one to two hundred soldiers.
But the four main legions led by Gun all suffered varying degrees of losses, and were even a little injured.
Among them, the 1st Legion lost more than 400 soldiers, a large Rhinoceros beetle and seven medium-sized beetles, and hundreds of soldiers and two medium-sized beetles were injured.
This legion is now the protagonist's heart and soul. In one battle, nearly one-fifth of the elite soldiers and beetles were lost, which really makes the protagonist feel heartbroken.
Fortunately, after the beginning of spring, new beetles are constantly hatching in the beetle farms in [Dongyang City] and [Qingqiu City]. The battle losses of the 1st Legion can be made up in about half a month to a month, allowing the protagonist to be a little more confident. Be relieved.
But the protagonist is not ready to use this only beetle army easily anymore. The protagonist immediately orders Gun to lead the army to return to [Qingqiu City] to rest for a while, replenish soldiers, and give priority to accepting the newly hatched beetles in order to restore combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
As for other legions, the 7th legion and the 8th legion each lost six to seven hundred soldiers, and the battle loss ratio was as high as a quarter. The 14th Army Corps also lost more than 300 Scythe Hunters, most of which were lost while encircling the enemy and breaking through.
To eliminate this enemy force of 1,500 Destroyers, the main force of the God's Envoy King's Army also paid the price of more than 2,000 casualties.
The protagonist temporarily left the 7th Army, the 8th Army and the 14th Army in [Trench City], and transferred some soldiers of the 19th Army and the 21st Army that had suffered heavy losses in the original [Trench City] to the 7th Army and the 14th Army. The 8th legion was replenished, and the two main legions were fully equipped with the copper jaw knives of the dead soldiers. Subsequently, the protagonist also transferred the 19th Legion and the 21st Legion back to the main nest [Qingqiu City] for reorganization.
In this way, the protagonist has four more big-headed ant legions and one scythe-hunting ferocious ant legion's mobile troops under his command.
All the troops participating in the battle were rewarded with honeydew. The troops who returned to [Qingqiu City] would receive the rewards there. However, there was insufficient honeydew in [Trench City], so they had to pay for it first.
At this moment, the garrison of Trench City is cleaning the battlefield. It is really a big project to deal with so many corpses at one time, and to cut open the corpse of the Destroyer to take out the mysterious ball.
The protagonist suddenly thought of the commander of the Destroyer. Since it was impossible to tell the difference between it and the ordinary Destroyer in appearance, the protagonist asked the ants cleaning the battlefield to pay attention to whether there were any different ants inside the corpse. If there were any, report to him immediately.
After a while, a worker ant came over to report and led the protagonist to one of the corpses.
The corpse of the Destroyer was too horrible to look at. The chest was broken directly by a stone bullet. The chest was a mess of blood and flesh, but the head and abdomen were still intact. However, the relatively intact head and abdomen were also dismembered by the big-headed ants.
The abdomen was cut open along the gap in the carapace, and the internal organs inside exuded a fishy smell. A mysterious ball was dug out and placed on the ground with mucus. It looked nothing special.
Because its head was very strong, the big-headed ants dug open the compound eyes and took out all the brains inside.
The protagonist noticed that the little mysterious ball dug out of the destroyer's head was one size larger than the small mysterious balls of other ants, but it had begun to turn gray.
The protagonist suppressed his nausea and played with the large and small mysterious ball with brains stuck on it, but found nothing unusual. But he guessed that the body belonged to the Destroyer Commander.
Afterwards, the ants discovered three such corpses one after another. The small mysterious balls in their heads were all larger, which was consistent with the information the protagonist had received before that the enemies were divided into three formations, allowing the protagonist to confirm his conjecture.
As many as 1,500 large mysterious balls were dug out, 500 were left in [Mount City], and the others were sent to [Qingqiu City] for storage. These are extremely useful warm babies in winter.
I am the dividing line
After the battlefield is cleared, the protagonist still stays on the ground.
Although there is sunshine at this time, the temperature of the air does not make the ants feel comfortable. They do not like such cool weather.
In the previous battle, the ants exercised at high intensity and were so close together that they did not feel uncomfortable due to the heat emitted.
But now that it was quiet, many ants felt cold. However, the protagonist had no intention of going back. The guard team that had just arrived with Gun's troops could only accompany them shivering.
The protagonist noticed the strange behavior of the immortals and the guards, so he came to the entrance and exit of Trench City and asked the guards to stay inside the entrance while he only leaned half of his body out.
The protagonist is waiting for a flying knight!
