As the dust from the explosion settled, the Destroyers began to invade in large numbers, and scenes of brutal battles took place in every remaining nest.
Fortunately, the entire [Qingqiu City] has been transformed into a fortress and a large barracks. No matter which way the Destroyer breaks in, the defenders will soon come to block the breach after hearing the news.
In the short term, the Destroyers won't be able to march straight in, at least not until they wipe out the resistance.
But the price the defenders paid for this was a large number of casualties, far exceeding the casualties in the previous days.
A big-headed male ant commander was rubbing his legs desperately at the moment and secreting a strong smell from his abdomen. This is the signal for a fight to the death. He is leading his team to intercept a group of Destroyers who have broken into the ground. Now they have reached a critical moment of life and death.
After the explosion, the team commander quickly calmed down the restless subordinates around him, and then saw several worker ants fleeing from the front. They reported that they found the Destroyer not far ahead.
The male ant immediately brought his subordinates to this passage to try to intercept the enemy. At this time, he could no longer contact his legion and was only acting according to instinct.
At this moment, most of the resistance forces were resisting spontaneously, and the chaos caused by the explosion caused the command system to temporarily fail.
This team belongs to the reorganized 42nd Legion and has little experience in fighting the Destroyers before. As soon as he hastily deployed his defenses, the male ant commander saw enemies covered in dust and blood approaching him.
These Destroyers have a gray face, their carapace is covered with blood, and the dust condenses together, making them look very dirty, like slugs crawling out of a mud pit, but their ugly appearance does not weaken their ferocious side in the slightest.
As soon as they met, the two leading Destroyers pounced ferociously, using their jaws to tear apart the Divine Envoy King warrior in front.
The passage was narrow and was not conducive to siege. Several warriors of the God's Envoy King tried to squeeze through, get under the enemy and attack his abdomen.
But the Destroyers used their mouths and feet, biting and stamping, and these brave warriors were quickly slaughtered.
The remaining soldiers were a little hesitant, not knowing whether to charge forward or hold their line.
Seeing more and more Destroyers coming up, in the dim light of the fluorescent bacteria, all the shadows were the shadows of the enemy.
The male ant commander was also a little anxious. The price of passive defense was that the enemy could remain unscathed and use the advantage of attack distance to kill all his subordinates bit by bit.
The male ant then gave the order to fight to the death, and ordered his subordinates to rush forward regardless of the danger. Since they would all die anyway, it would be better to rush over and at least bite the enemy a few wounds.
Fifty subordinates were all killed or wounded in just a few encounters. Seeing that there were not many soldiers left under his command, the male ant commander turned around and ran away. This was not the first time he had done this, and he seemed to be very familiar with it.
The Angel King's army will ask the male ants to preserve themselves as much as possible and not to make fearless sacrifices. After all, experienced commanders are very valuable. It is not easy to cultivate a qualified commander, and it often requires a long period of education and practice. And as long as the commander is there, it is indeed easy to rebuild the squad and the legion.
Unfortunately for the enemy, the male ant was not lucky enough to escape this time.
Just as they entered a nest room, three Destroyers came in from another entrance and exit, and the two sides collided directly with each other.
There are too many Destroyers burrowing into the ground, and they are too scattered. They are surrounded by enemies almost everywhere. Even if the team of the male ant commander holds on for just a moment and a half longer, they will only be attacked from two sides by the enemies.
Facing the sudden enemy, the male ant opened its jaws wide and lay low, trembling all over, but neither heroism nor cowardice could save him.
Soon, the Destroyer left the body of the male ant broken in two, stepped on the internal organs and blood that flowed to the ground, and left the empty nest to continue looking for the next victim.
Areas close to the enemy encountered chaotic fights and bloody battles, with countless God-Emissary King warriors entangled with the Destroyer.
It was precisely because of the sacrifices of these soldiers who fought hand-to-hand with the enemy that the reinforcements from the rear finally re-established a line of defense at several key passages connecting the upper and lower lines.
Almost all the ballistae were lost in the explosion, so the newly completed ballistae was brought out from the workshop for emergency use. If the number of ballistae was insufficient, fire bombs and slings were used to deal with it. If that doesn't work, send out the Beetle Troops for a counterattack. If that doesn't work, I'll take the life of the ant warrior.
The Divine Envoy King's army paid a heavy price and finally restricted the enemy to several new lines of defense.
Seeing that the bottom layer of the lair was well fortified, these destroyers finally turned around. They decided to clear out the survivors who were still resisting in the rear and ignore the new line of defense.
The slight vibration coming from under the feet has not subsided, and some messy signals can still be received from the antennae attached to the wall. It was the heroic but helpless struggle of the soldiers who were unable to be saved and were trapped behind enemy lines.
By evening, the Destroyers disengaged and did not continue the attack. But they are still entrenched underground, repelling the troops sent out by the protagonist to test.
Now, [Qingqiu City]'s road to the outside world is controlled by the enemy, and there are only two paths left to communicate with the outside world.
One is the secret passage left by the oldest king when he escaped, and the other is the sacred passage that leads directly to the bottom of the lair. This is where the flying knights entered and exited. After they returned, the protagonist finally understood the details of today's big explosion.
Although there are lessons learned from the collapse of the big banyan tree, the big banyan tree is a wooden structure, and the protagonist also knows that the middle of the trunk is very loose and full of cavities. In fact, this big banyan tree is far from being as strong as it looks on the outside, and it will be stopped in the middle during the explosion. Not surprisingly.
However, the protagonist never thought that a huge anthill composed mainly of rocks and soil could be wiped out by a group explosion of the White-bellied Destroyer. It seems that he still underestimated the power of the enemy's explosion.
Previously, the protagonist always thought that the enemy's self-destruction tactics would only be used to break new entrances or destroy the defense line bit by bit, so the defenders' in-depth arrangements were all aimed at this tactic.
But in the violent explosion, these arrangements became a joke. Almost half of the defenders, all the ballistae, as well as a large amount of supplies and grain stored in the upper half of the nest, and a large amount of mealworms needed for a long-lasting battle. Breeding farms, etc., have all been reduced to ashes.
The protagonist gradually mastered the latest information through messengers running around. Now there are only about 70,000 to 80,000 defenders left. Although the number seems to be quite a lot, the male ant commanders are already panic-stricken. They use ballistae, fire bombs and slings. There is not much left, and the remaining supplies are only enough to last for half a month.
The protagonist reluctantly realizes that [Qingqiu City] no longer has the conditions to hold on for a long time.
