The black tide of destroyers stopped not far from the outskirts of [Qingqiu City], but this was not a stop, it was just a build-up of energy before launching an attack. When the tide really came up, it would only become more powerful and full of threats.
In the past few days, the soldiers of the God's Envoy King had cleared away all the vegetation near the anthill. Surrounding the anthill was an open space about one meter wide covered with hay.
Due to excessive breeding of aphids and regular cleaning, the vegetation near Qingqiu City was not very prosperous. There were no shrubs and thorns that were difficult to cut down, and most of them were herbaceous plants.
After the protagonist took over the main nest, he adjusted the economic structure of the nest, increased the amount of aphids raised in other sub-nests, reduced the amount of aphids raised in [Qingqiu City], and opened up a lot of farmland.
Therefore, the vegetation near the ant mound is mostly a variety of weeds grown by the ants that can produce edible grass seeds. Now they have all been cut down without mercy.
These weeds were still young and easy to cut. Some of the edible roots, tendons, and leaves were dried and transported away, while the rest were left in the wild and quickly dehydrated and turned into hay under the scorching sun of the past two days. In order to speed up the drying process, the ants also dig through the haystacks from time to time.
When the evil tide of the Destroyer finally surged towards the towering ant mound of [Qingqiu City] for the first time, they were ambushed by flames in this reserved open space.
The Legion of God's Emissary King clears nearby weeds not only to gain a good view and force the enemy to spend the night farther away - the Destroyers are not good at building nests and are used to resting in the grass when in the wild. It is to build the first line of defense.
Thousands of Destroyers surged up from different directions, quickly crossing the isolation zone outside the ant mound, stepping on a thick layer of hay, and quickly approaching the trenches and protective nets.
The ballistae on the ant mound began to fire. Although there were many gun positions, all directions had to be taken care of, and the firepower density that could be provided within the width of the unit was very limited.
These ballistae first fired solid stone projectiles at the maximum distance, hitting some unlucky people on the road, but apart from the pitiful results, they were completely unable to stop the Destroyers from approaching crazily.
It wasn't until the front destroyer was more than halfway from the trench that the ballistae's firepower began to be fully unleashed.
This time, the ballistae fired all fire shells, and they did not aim at the edge of the trench, but at the outermost edge of the isolation zone.
Soon, the weeds on the ground that had been dried out by the sun for two or three days were ignited by burning fire bombs. These dry grasses were very flammable, and the weather today was also very suitable.
Because the ignition point was close to the outer edge of the isolation zone, the fire points here quickly connected into a fire line, and then spread rapidly from the outside to the inside.
Hay is extremely flammable. Before the Destroyers could react, they were surrounded by flames. The Destroyers who were rushing forward were also afraid of the power of the flames. The line of fire quickly blocked the Destroyers behind them, and then killed the Destroyers who had broken into the isolation zone. The land beneath him continues to be included in the fire's sphere of influence.
The protagonist stood near the sacred passage. He had never seen the Destroyers acting so panicked and panicked. They crowded forward, trying to avoid the flames, and ended up squeezing a large number of their companions into the trench.
The flames spread so fast that most of the Destroyers who were already in the isolation zone had no time to escape. The flames ignited from behind them and rose from under their feet. These big dark men were immediately burned and bent over, making a "crackling" sound. ” made a horrifying sound, and died as easily as fragile glass being broken.
Death is not the end. Under the heat of the flames, the charred corpses began to explode after a while. It was the mysterious balls in the Destroyer's body that were heated and exploded, destroying the already lifeless corpses and intensifying the flames. power.
The fire ignited by the weeds came very violently and passed quickly. In just half a minute, the hay piled on the ground had been burned out. In fact, the hay had been added with a lot of mealworm grease by the warriors of the God's Envoy King. Trying to make it burn longer, but obviously the effect is not ideal.
In such a short period of time, the casualties of the thousands of Destroyers who launched the assault exceeded 90%. Even those who jumped into trenches to avoid the enemy Destroyers suffered heavy casualties due to the constant explosion of falling corpses around them.
The rest were all under the concentrated fire attack of the ballistae, and were killed on the spot before they had time to climb out.
After a small victory in the first defensive battle, killing thousands of enemies at once, the protagonist's heart, which had been tugging at him, finally calmed down a little.
This battle finally allowed the male ants, who had been depressed due to a series of defeats, to finally recover. This was the main nest, the main nest of the God Envoy King's army. The fighting spirit of the defenders rose again as the commander's mood rose. .
However, this small victory cannot change much. There are still tens of thousands of enemies surrounding [Qingqiu City], and there is a steady stream of reinforcements coming from the north. The losses just now are not worth mentioning to them. .
Since most of the enemy corpses were detonated, the Angel King Legion was unable to seize too many mysterious balls from their victory here. Only some loot could be obtained from the corpses in the trenches.
——I am the dividing line——
After the first wave of attacks was extinguished by the flames, the black evil tide of the Destroyers stopped again. They quietly waited for the heat of the fire field to drop before launching the second wave of attacks.
This time, without the obstruction of the fire, the Destroyers rushed to the edge of the trench very quickly.
Thirty-two ballista positions fired various ammunition at the fastest speed, including solid stone bullets, shotguns, and precious fire bombs. The defenders were not stingy with ammunition and were determined to defend the defense line to the death.
On each ballista position, there are twice as many ant hands operating the weapons, so that the ants who are exhausted due to high-intensity work can come down to rest at any time. The ants are replaced without changing the cannon, so as to maintain the highest frequency and density of firepower.
But like throwing stones at a tsunami, although the ballista units achieved a certain amount of damage, they were unable to stop the enemy's incoming wave.
Destroyers swarmed into the trenches.
But they were a little confused for a moment. The trench was filled with the smell of the enemy. Although the enemy could not be seen in front of them, it had seriously interfered with the Destroyer's judgment.
The protagonist ordered that the trench be filled with the feces of big-headed ants and pavement ant defenders. The feces had a strong smell.
The protagonist also used this trick when dealing with parasitic ants. Before, he thought that the Destroyer mainly relied on vision. This trick was ineffective, so he did not use it on the Destroyer.
But the battle a while ago made the protagonist realize that the Destroyer also relies heavily on his sense of smell, so he used this tactic again in defensive battles.
While the Destroyers were struggling in the trench, the ballistas stepped up their firing, and the defenders on the wall behind the protective net also began to throw a large number of fire bombs and slings into the trench, severely killing and injuring the enemy.
