The fire ignited by weeds rises quickly, spreads quickly, and disappears quickly.
Not long after, a large area of land that was originally lush and lush had turned into a scorched black spot, with wisps of steam still coming out, but the fire had gone down, leaving only a few smoldering areas.
The legion of the Divine Envoy King that had already assembled outside the valley road could not walk through the still hot fire scene. They could only follow the flying knights, detouring from the land outside the valley road that had not been ignited, and then headed towards the pavement that had changed beyond recognition. The Dao Ant Imperial Army's camp launched an attack.
At this time, the warriors of the pavement ants and other clans who were exposed on the ground had already turned into corpses, either directly burned to death by flames, burned to death by heat, choked to death by poisonous smoke, or due to lack of oxygen. As for death, the signs of death are all kinds of strange, but the one thing they have in common is that they all look very hideous.
However, the fire caused by weeds is not very powerful. The power of the flame heat wave cannot penetrate the surface. The poisonous smoke is also upward. The remaining oxygen in the underground space is also careful to support the survival of the ants inside. Therefore, most of the enemy troops who hid in their underground lairs in time survived.
The losses caused by the fire to the Pavement Ant Empire Army accounted for about one-tenth of the total strength. The direct losses were not large, but it completely paralyzed its command system and temporarily divided its troops into independent underground camps. .
After the God Envoy King's legion braved the residual heat of the ground to enter the battlefield, they found that they had to attack the enemy nests scattered under the ground one by one.
Even if the Divine Envoy King's legion has advantages in weapons and equipment and can annihilate enemies one by one, such street fighting is also very detrimental to the attackers and soon turns into a war of attrition in some nests.
The enemy "mosquito" troops have been smoked away from the battlefield. The flying knights who survived the air battle control the sky, and the protagonist also rides "Xiao Hei" to the battlefield. Only then did he notice his mistake!
This time, the "Fire Company" did not have the effect that the protagonist thought. The enemies did not flee due to heavy losses. Instead, they lost their command and dispersed in their respective lairs, spontaneously and resolutely resisting.
At this point, the Divine Envoy King's army cannot give up halfway. The protagonist orders all the mysterious ball bombs stored in [Panxia City] to be brought out, blasted above each enemy camp, and then swarmed up after opening a gap.
After changing their tactics, the Angel King Legion quickly used blasting tactics to capture many nests outside the enemy camp.
At this time, the Pavement Ant Imperial Army finally recovered from the fear of being ravaged by wildfires. After the Pavement Ants and other ants hiding underground realized that the flames had extinguished, they stepped onto the ground one after another. They were already in chaos. The command system was gradually restored as the messengers traveled around.
The Duke of Pavement Ants received information about the enemy's massive military attack. He gradually took control of a group of troops around him, commanded and dispatched them, and started fighting with the Angel King's army on the ground.
The Angel King's Legion prefers such ground battles, especially when the enemy's organized forces are not large, and can easily be defeated by artillery and tank troops. Even if there are occasional stubborn enemies, in the God's Angel King's warriors are like a wall The infantry front was quickly defeated, and then the Divine Envoy King's army launched a massacre-like pursuit and escape.
This kind of killing efficiency is much higher than attacking underground lairs one by one.
As if adding fuel to the fire, Duke Pavement Ant threw small-scale armies into the front line again and again, only to be defeated again and again. It's not that he doesn't know that this can't be done, or that he doesn't want to organize a large army for a decisive battle. It's really that the entire camp is in chaos. If they don't find a way to block the forward of the God Envoy King's army, it will be difficult for the Pavement Ant Empire Army to restore order. Order cannot be restored. We cannot organize too many troops to block the attack. If the blockade fails, we will not be able to stop the enemy.
The Pavement Ant Imperial Army is trapped in a vicious cycle!
No matter the troops of the pavement ants themselves, or the vassals of the silver ants, Aiman ants, red imported fire ants, etc., which the Duke has high hopes for, they can't stop the murderous warriors of the God Envoy King.
In the end, the Duke had no choice but to send a small number of precious beetle troops up.
The beetle troops of the Pavement Ant Empire did not attack the city today and were resting in their nests. However, they escaped the fire by some coincidence.
More than a dozen Green Armors filed out of the ground and were ordered to swim upstream from the chaotic battlefield.
Although these green beetles are only the size of the small beetles in the tank troops of the Angel King's Legion, they are all extremely brave. You know, the green beetle is a ferocious existence that dares to attack frogs, mice and other animals much larger than itself.
Due to the unusually scattered battlefield, the Qinglu beetles' counterattack was not immediately contained by the tank troops, and the rear artillery had difficulty hitting the fast-moving and small number of enemy beetles. The warriors of the God's Envoy King had to rush forward with their flesh and blood. Go up and fight these powerful beetles.
These ferocious beasts with metallic green luster on their heads have strong jaws. Even if the warriors of the God Envoy King are wearing iron armor, they cannot stop the bite of the green walking armor. They can easily bite the iron armor like dry leaves. easy.
It wasn't until a tank detachment composed of large and medium-sized stag beetles and double-pronged rhino beetles arrived that they took advantage of their size, strength, and equipment to completely annihilate the green beetles.
The protagonist can only admit that he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the green infantry. These green infantry had little success when they were put into siege a few days ago, and several were killed by artillery. Based on this, the protagonist doesn't think these small walking armors are so powerful. But now it seems that the green infantry are still very threatening in the field, especially to the infantry who are not covered by tank troops.
Fortunately, there are not many enemy Green Armors...
The Qingbujia's counterattack gave the Pavement Ant Imperial Army behind them a chance to regroup. The Duke commanded the 60,000 to 70,000 troops that were finally assembled to fight, but were defeated again half an hour later.
This failure was caused by the vassal ants of the Pavement Ant Imperial Army fleeing one after another, disrupting the Pavement Ants' own military formation.
Now not even the Duke could stop the rout. Hundreds of thousands of troops fled in all directions, some panicked and most fled north.
The Legion of the God Envoy King concentrated its forces to pursue northward, and made many gains along the way. It seemed that a complete victory was about to be achieved.
At this time, the protagonist, who was riding "Xiao Hei" at the forefront, suddenly felt a green light in the distance.
He suddenly raised his head and looked forward, and saw that under the sunlight, at the end of the valley in the distance, among a patch of dense grass, hundreds of Green Armored Armor were filing out of their hiding places, and soon thousands of people gathered.
They were the reinforcements of the Pavement Ant Empire Army. They had just traveled a long distance from the mainland. At this time, they had obviously received intelligence from the front line and were heading south in a horizontal battle formation. It would not be long before they ran into the vanguard of the Divine Envoy King's army.
The angry waves composed of blue light woke up the protagonist, and he hurriedly issued an order to retreat!
