When the protagonist wakes up again, he is already lying in a familiar palace. This is the palace of the God Envoy King in Dongyang City. It was designed by the protagonist. The space has the feeling of two rooms and one living room in the human world.
The protagonist is lying on a soft silk bed, with exquisite and smooth fabric woven from ant silk under him. But at this moment, these soft mattresses and sheets were rubbing against my body and causing pain.
This body is like a machine that has just been overhauled and is not running smoothly. The protagonist only feels that every movement he makes involves pain nerves and is very stiff. It seems that the machine has not been oiled.
Even small movements like shaking the tentacles were done with great difficulty and pain.
But as the protagonist moved a bit, this raw feeling began to disappear slowly.
The "fairy" was waiting by the side. When he saw the protagonist wake up, he immediately called a worker ant to feed the protagonist some honeydew. After the first drop of honeydew fell into his stomach, his stomach instantly became on fire, like a field longing for sweet rain after a long drought. The protagonist greedily drank up five bottles of honeydew in clay pots before feeling better.
The hunger in his stomach subsided, and the protagonist didn't know how long it had been since he had eaten.
At this time, the protagonist slowly remembered the scene before coma. He anxiously called the immortal to understand the situation at that time.
The immortal only knew that the protagonist had been in a coma for three days. During this period, he could occasionally be fed some water and honeydew, but most of the time the protagonist was as motionless as if he was dead.
On the battlefield that day, the army rescued the rear group and broke through, but the specific situation was unclear. She was blown away after the explosion, but luckily she was not injured. Then she quickly returned to the battlefield and found the unconscious protagonist, escorting her all the way. I don't know the full story of the battle.
Later, Gun and Lan Bofei, who came to visit, told the protagonist the whole story.
After a large destroyer was seriously injured and self-destructed, the protagonist was rescued from a coma. Gun took over the command and eventually rescued most of the intercepted rear team soldiers, but about 10,000 soldiers were killed by the enemy's small destroyer. The troops were restrained and unable to evacuate. In the end, after the enemy brigade arrived, there was no more news. It was thought that the entire army was annihilated.
In the end, there were less than 60,000 soldiers left in the army and they retreated into [Sitong City], but the enemy pursued them closely. The army did not dare to stay, and the main force continued to retreat to [Qingqiu City].
Another mixed force composed of big-headed ants and hunter ant scouts, led by Tuzi and Kite, fought and retreated all the way, attracting the enemy to advance in another direction.
It was the sacrifice of this unit that allowed the remaining more than 50,000 troops to survive and finally return to [Dongyang City].
The army that lured the enemy, under the leadership of Tuzi, who was familiar with the terrain near [New Yancheng], heroically led the enemy into the swamp area where giant crabs were infested. Although it was impossible to escape the end of the entire army being annihilated, it also caused heavy losses to the enemy.
The protagonist silently read the information packet observed by the flying knights:
I saw dense holes everywhere in the pond, and crabs were constantly emerging from the mud holes on the edge of the pond, or crawling out of the water. The troops of Tuzi and Kite attracted the enemy into the territory of this group of monsters and alerted them.
These crabs once ravaged [Yancheng] during the famine years, forcing the local residents to move to another location and rebuild their nests, which is [New Yancheng]. After that, the warriors of the God's Envoy King no longer approached the activities of the giant crabs, and both parties were at peace with each other. nothing.
But today, the warriors of the King of Gods want to borrow a knife to kill people. Cancer is a knife, and what they want to kill is the destroyer, and they are the bait and price for borrowing the knife.
Under the strict order of the commander, facing the attack of the giant crab, the ants did not launch an attack except for their instinctive struggle. They may be afraid that a counterattack will injure some Cancers. They will all die anyway, so why not die generously and let the intact Cancer Army kill more dead Destroyers?
Looking at the familiar or unfamiliar commanders and soldiers in the information package, standing there without any complaints until they disappeared into the giant crab's claws and squirming mouthparts, the protagonist felt panicked.
Even in the following information package, the powerful Cancer battled with the intruding Destroyers for a whole day, and more than three thousand Destroyers were killed under the Crab's claws and mouths. The Crab also suffered heavy losses, and both sides suffered losses, which still cannot make the protagonist happy. .
These soldiers died generously because they wanted to protect the entire country and collective. They believed that their sacrifices could ultimately preserve the collective. But, can he really realize their wishes before they die? The protagonist himself has no confidence!
If they can't protect everything they want to protect, is their sacrifice worth it? Do they have souls, and will they blame themselves in the future?
The protagonist is suddenly afraid, not of the vicious enemies, but of the companions who have always believed in him and followed him along the way!
Yes, companions, maybe even if the protagonist adapted to the identity of ants before, he did not regard most ants as companions. Even if he balanced the relationship between different classes and supported the worker ant class according to his own ideas, he felt more that These ants are subordinates, servants, and even tools. Only a small number of male ants with similar qualifications and deep ties to him are regarded by him as equals to a certain extent.
But at this moment, the sacrifice of a group of ants made him realize that these ants are companions worthy of his trust. They entrust everything to themselves, even if they sacrifice, they have no complaints. What they hope is to lead the group to survive. , rises again.
At this moment, the protagonist suddenly understood the lingering pavement ant nests on the north bank of the river. Even the old pavement ant tribe like King Floating Leaf looked down on these small nests that could not stand up to resist, but to the entire pavement ant group, they I chose the most correct survival strategy and preserved many small fires.
Even if the Destroyers are still working separately to exterminate these remaining forces, some fires will eventually be extinguished, but some fires can be preserved, and there will always be nests in remote areas that survive. Things are turning, and when the Destroyer's glory is no longer there, these nests that have preserved the blood of the Ant Barbarian Kingdom may not be unable to win a revival, and then a single spark can start a prairie fire and once again dominate the north bank of the river.
The protagonist asked Gun and Rambo to leave, and he thought a lot.
Although the Destroyers suffered heavy losses against the Cancer in [New Yan City], they still conquered this lair and the nearby [Malachite City]. Now the Divine Envoy King's Army has lost two important resource production areas. It can be said that it has long-term war capabilities. It has dropped to an unacceptable level.
The enemy will soon arrive at [Dongyang City]. Where should the Divine Envoy King's army go? Should they be like those paving ant nests, leaving behind a spark for a comeback?
