When the Destroyer wanted to retreat, it was impossible to stop it with just two legions blocking the way back.
The protagonist also did not expect that the enemies of the Radar Destroyer would withdraw so simply, leaving as they pleased without caring about the lives of the other Destroyers who had been surrounded.
At this time, the Divine Envoy King's army had not yet had time to encircle them, the troops on both wings were not yet in place, and the chasing army behind them was still some distance away.
This group of destroyers has quickly broken through the interception, and did not hesitate to fight, and escaped directly into the grass.
The scouts scattered in the grass were even less able to stop the retreat of so many Destroyers, and could only watch the enemy troops march away.
Although the Destroyer is slower, the Angel King's legion will definitely catch up sooner or later, but the protagonist is worried about being killed and suffering unnecessary losses, so he asks the flying knights to notify the troops to turn back.
Subsequently, the army of the God's Messenger King took out all its grievances on the surrounded enemies.
There are still more than two thousand enemies, but they are already surrounded by tens of thousands of God's Envoy King warriors, three layers inside and three layers outside. The enemy struggled to break through to the west, and the intercepting legions in the west suffered heavy losses. They gritted their teeth and persisted and did not let the enemy succeed.
The enemies were clustered together, and the ground covering just over two square meters was densely packed with moving destroyers. The ballista units were replaced with shotguns. Anyway, at such a close distance, the power of the shotguns was enough to break armor.
With each round of shooting, the shotgun shells fired by the ballista caused great casualties to the Destroyer who had nowhere to hide, harvesting the results like a brush sweeping through the floating soil.
The ant-heavy Divine Envoy King Legion relies on small-unit tactics to deal with the Destroyers on the periphery, constantly inflicting casualties, and then pressing the enemy inward.
At this time, another legion finally fetched another two hundred fire bomb slings from the underground lair, climbed up the enemy's east wall, and started shooting from a high position, further exacerbating the chaos and casualties of the Destroyers.
But the Destroyers are still well organized, they are still resisting resolutely, and their arrangements are orderly.
The protagonist knows that there are several commanders among the enemies. The protagonist stood at a relatively high position, looking beyond the city wall at his feet into the densely packed Destroyers, trying to find the figure of the Destroyer Commander, but in vain.
The enemy's commander's appearance was too confusing to look at, and it was too difficult to find him out amid the chaos of war.
The encirclement and annihilation battle lasted until noon, and more than two thousand Destroyers were finally wiped out. In the end, the trapped Destroyers somehow noticed the protagonist's position and launched a wave of desperate attacks. However, they still failed to break through the encirclement and were quickly captured. defeat.
In this field battle, the Divine Envoy King's Legion destroyed about 2,500 Destroyers and lost more than 8,000 of its own. However, the losses were relatively scattered. No legion suffered particularly heavy casualties and lost its combat effectiveness.
The protagonist left a few legions with heavy losses to clean up the battlefield and seize the loot. Then the army took a short rest and set off immediately to take advantage of the victory and attack [Spiral Over the Flower City].
According to the Flying Knight's report, the Radar Destroyer and his party have returned to the [Spiritual Flower City]. The surrounding Destroyers have also gathered underground and stopped going out. There is no sign of retreat, and they actually intend to trap the city!
This plays into the protagonist's plan. He is afraid that the Destroyer will withdraw again and again, but will never be able to destroy the enemy's main force.
The Destroyers want to hold on. Although they have the advantage of the defenders, the protagonist has many ways to deal with them. After all, he now has the initiative.
The army of the God Envoy King marched all the way and finally surrounded [Swiveling Flower City], but the enemy still had no intention of breaking out and retreating.
The Divine Envoy King's Legion did not rush to attack the city. Instead, they followed the protagonist's request and continued to use their expertise in soil work. They quickly built a circle of walls near the entrance and exit of [Swallowing Flower City]. They also learned from their previous experience and used wet clay and Grass stems and other materials reinforced the earthen wall and sealed off the enemy's nest.
In addition, the warriors of the Divine Envoy King also dug a number of camp nests outside the city wall to facilitate resting at night and hoarding supplies.
After completing this series of work, the sun had already set in the west. The protagonist simply did not order an attack. Instead, he dispatched troops and moved the ballistas, fire bombs, slings and other supplies from the previous camp.
There is very little food carried in the camp, and a lot of it was consumed in today's battle. The protagonist detached some troops to forage nearby, and also sent a messenger to ask [Sitong City] to send a transportation team to bring all the stored food.
I am the dividing line
After all this work, it finally got dark.
Of course the protagonist remembers that the Destroyer had a dark history of night raids, so it assigned several legions as sentries and sent out scouts in turns to guard the city walls.
However, the enemy did not go out tonight, and seemed to have decided to hold on to the cage city resolutely.
The protagonist's mind was not focused on the battle situation at the moment. Before nightfall, he received another information packet from the flying knight in the swamp area, which made him fall into deep thought for a long time.
Previously, the warriors of the Divine Envoy King in the swamp area unearthed a rectangular metal object. The protagonist originally wanted to wait until he was free to take a look.
As a result, today, a soldier ant accidentally bumped into some kind of switch. The metal object actually bounced open. It was a box-like object with several things inside.
These items were packed in what seemed to be transparent plastic bags, but after a long period of time, these plastic bags turned into scattered debris when touched, and could no longer protect the items inside.
The contents inside have survived the passage of time under the triple protection of soil, boxes and bags. Although there are traces of age, they still remain in very good condition.
There were three ant models inside, but the protagonist did not take a closer look.
There is also a metal nameplate, which is well preserved, and the metallic luster can still be seen. Although it is a little dull, it is only caused by oxidation.
There are words on it and they are very clear. There are only a few very simple words, but they are also words that the protagonist is very familiar with.
The text is divided into three rows. The first row is a set of Arabic numerals: "78897003", the meaning of which is unknown.
The second row is Chinese characters, with only two characters: "Zhu Jue", which looks like a person's name.
In the third row is a line of smaller Chinese characters: "Hold by a dedicated person, accessible to all areas."
The familiar Chinese characters have as much impact on the protagonist as the shock of seeing the Pythagorean theorem on the skull stone.
This nameplate gives the protagonist an unusually familiar feeling. It seems that he has returned to the familiar words and world before time travel. The protagonist cannot remember the details, but he still feels inexplicably familiar from this nameplate. everything of.
This seems to be the nameplate and pass of a person named "Zhu Jue". There may be a chip or something inside, but it seems that this nameplate cannot be taken apart.
The protagonist temporarily put the nameplate aside, and the information package also showed several items in the rusted metal box.
