The moonlight today is very dim. There is only a narrow crescent in the sky, hanging diagonally on the edge of the treetops in the sky, and it seems that it will sink into the horizon and disappear completely in the next second.
The night was deep, and there seemed to be an opaque thick fog that shrouded everything. The sky was gloomy, the ground was deep, and the vegetation was also hazy. The meager moonlight is not enough to penetrate this curtain, leaving hidden shadows everywhere.
Such a night is dead silent, there seems to be no sound between heaven and earth, everything is quiet. But if you listen carefully, you will also find that in your ears or antennae, the various sounds hidden in the background noise of nature gradually become clear, so noisy and vivid.
There is the sound of the wind blowing here, sometimes not, sometimes louder and sometimes smaller, it is the slight trembling of the treetops, the gentleness of the grass blades, and the fluctuation of the air current.
There is also a thin sound of insects here, so faint that it is almost inaudible. It is not the courtship season for those songbirds. There are no screams of crickets or cicadas, but only the occasional flapping of wings or shaking of the body. Voice. Occasionally it is noisy and loud, which must be the warning sound of the insects when they find an enemy or competitor.
Just as the noise reflects, under the deep darkness of the night, the world is actually not peaceful. Killers are hidden in the night, and there are always nocturnal beasts causing carnage.
The army of the God Envoy Wang, who was cautiously advancing along the pheromones, were like miserable insects at this moment, fearing to wake up the group of ferocious beasts in the dark.
Hunting Sickle Ants and Big-headed Ant Scout Warriors went out everywhere to explore the way as the army gathered. Not far from [Qingqiu City], they discovered a large number of resting Destroyers.
These destroyers are like computers on standby, lurking quietly in the grass or under shrubs, motionless, scattered in groups of a hundred to a thousand, but as a whole, they have completely destroyed the whole [Qingqiu City]. Surrounded by three outer layers.
The scouts were lucky enough not to disturb the sleeping enemies. When the vision was poor, the Big-headed Ant scouts were more adaptable, while the detection of the Scythe Ants and Destroyers, which relied more on vision, was limited.
The vegetation around [Qingqiu City] is not prosperous due to over-development, and farmland was eradicated before the war, so there are not many places suitable for the Destroyer to camp within close range. As a result, some Destroyer sub-camps are located as far as an hour away.
Thanks to this, the scouts found a winding road that bypassed the enemy camp and led all the way outside the encirclement.
The army of the God Envoy King followed the path marked by the scouts with pheromones in the dark, advancing quickly and carefully.
And not far away, even within reach within a few steps, in the patches of weeds, there are enemies who can kill an army.
The protagonist walks in front of the team, which is a relatively safe position. The farther back the soldiers are, the less likely they are to break through.
With such a large army, tens of millions of ants move together, and the dense and noisy "rustling" sound is still very clear against the slight noise background. Especially when walking through dead branches and fallen leaves, the "rustling" sound is even louder.
That is to say, the Destroyers have relaxed their vigilance because they have occupied most of the underground lair, and are not alert yet.
But at this moment, it was less than an hour before dawn. The ants' sleep was never very deep, even if the Destroyer was an exception, it was almost time to wake up.
With the size and speed of the army of the God Envoy King that broke through, they would not be able to completely escape the enemy's sphere of influence even at dawn. Many soldiers in the rear team would definitely not be able to escape. They could only stay behind to cover the evacuation of the main force.
Along the way, the protagonist is most worried about the radar destroyer. These radar destroyers seem to be able to detect large troops far away. As long as they are there, the God Envoy King's army will be pursued no matter how far away they are.
The protagonist once captured a pair of radar destroyer tentacles, but did not produce any useful results. Now the pair of tentacles have been lost with the fall of [Linshui City].
Facing the Destroyer's pursuit after dawn, the protagonist doesn't have much to do.
Although the normal movement speed of the Divine Envoy King's army is a little faster than that of the Great Destroyer, the enemy can send faster small Destroyers to contain the movement speed of the army first. At the same time, the Divine Envoy King's army also carried a lot of materials that could not be discarded this time, which further slowed down the speed.
Just take it one step at a time, and when the time comes, you can only cut off your wrists.
The protagonist looked back at the team behind him. He couldn't see how far away it was but darkness. He didn't know how many of the 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers could reach [Sitong City] alive.
At this time, the Pavement Ant Army that was feigning an attack underground had almost been wiped out. King Fuye returned to the combustion chamber with the last remaining soldiers, waving torches for the final resistance. But under the crushing force of the swarming Destroyers, all of them died heroically.
And in the melee, the holy fire, which had already dimmed, was finally completely extinguished in the chaos of war.
The extinguishing of the holy fire marked the complete loss of [Qingqiu City]. The protagonist doesn't know this yet, nor does he know that several Destroyer messengers have already headed to the ground and are about to report the news that they found that there are no defenders underground.
On the other side, the small team taking the secret passage of Lao Wang had already gone far, about forty-five minutes southwest of the large team.
They temporarily lost contact with the main force because the flying knight could not see the road clearly at this time, and the ground messenger did not know where to contact the main force. The last contact they had with the large army was through a messenger sent from underground before leaving the passage.
The most dangerous thing and the easiest thing to attract enemies is the large army led by the protagonist.
The sky was bright, a pale white light came from the southeast, and when the sun was about to rise, there was a commotion from the rear team.
The protagonist climbed to a nearby high place and looked back. At this time, the sky was getting brighter and he could see a little farther.
What is supposed to come will always come. Although the view from the rear team was vague and unreal, it was obvious that there was a big chaos. Only the enemy chasing after them would cause such a commotion.
Indeed, a team of hundreds of Destroyers rushed up immediately after receiving the underground information. They were not guided by the Radar Destroyer, but were tracked along the fresh Big-headed Ant pheromones on the ground.
Behind them, more and more Destroyers were awakened and joining the pursuit.
In the Divine Envoy King's army, the army tried its best to speed up, hoping to escape as far away as possible.
The regiment at the rear, after a brief commotion, turned back to fight without hesitation, and took on the task of rearguard in accordance with the previous breakout plan.
