In the sky, the enemy "mosquito" troops that were originally driven away by fire and smoke are coming back one after another. Fortunately, there are not many in number at the moment. The flying knights are still protecting and controlling the retreating Angel King's army in the sky to stop the enemy. Aerial sneak attack and reconnaissance.
In order to ensure safety, the protagonist landed from the air and asked a flying knight who lost his mount to ride "Little Black" back to the rear, while he sat on a large double-pronged rhinoceros beetle.
At this time, the Flying Knight is no longer able to distract himself from reconnaissance and providing intelligence. The protagonist only later learned from the messenger sent by the rear troops that the rear guard troops were contained and surrounded.
If it were other ant commanders, they might choose to abandon the remaining troops to ensure the safety of the larger troops. But the protagonist may not be a qualified commander, and cannot be as ruthless as he is to command troops.
He only knew that every warrior of the Divine Envoy King was carefully cultivated by himself, and there were many of his own flesh and blood in the rear guard - the Divine Soldier Ants served as commanders. We have to save him!
The protagonist immediately ordered the non-combat beetles carrying cannons in the tank corps to continue advancing. All large and medium-sized "tanks" capable of fighting immediately turned around to rescue friendly forces.
The "tank" troops were quickly assembled, including 10 large beetles and 40 medium beetles, accompanied by some infantry. This number is obviously far different from the numerous green infantry armor that are like weeds. The protagonist sends a messenger to recruit two infantry regiments to participate in the rescue.
The army set off and walked back for about ten minutes before encountering the enemy's Green Infantry Armor.
These green infantry armor could not squeeze into the encirclement surrounding the rearguard of the Angel King's legion, so they continued to move forward under the control of the driver, looking for the next attack target, and happened to run into the protagonist's troops head-on. The two sides immediately fought together.
There were not many Green Infantry Armors on the opposite side, about thirty or so. In order to save their limited ammunition, the "tank" troops did not fire any long-range firepower. Only the large and medium-sized stag armors responsible for close combat and the accompanying infantry rushed forward.
Although the Green Foot Armor is a ferocious carnivorous insect, the war beasts of the Divine Envoy King's legion are all vegetarian insects. However, the stag beetle has a size advantage. The green stag beetle is one size smaller than the medium-sized stag beetle.
Moreover, male stag beetles also have a fighting tradition. Their large jaws are prepared for the fighting ceremony before courtship. Comparing the weapon jaws of the green beetle with the large jaws of the stag beetle is like comparing the budding deer antlers with the antlers of a moose. There is a significant difference.
In battle, the stag beetle can use its larger and longer jaws to control the opponent's body, relying on its strength to suppress the stag beetle and unable to move, and then the accompanying infantry can swarm up and dismember the opponent, or simply clamp the stag beetle and lift it high, ruthlessly He was thrown hard to the ground, and within a few blows, Qingbujia's internal organs were severely damaged and he couldn't move.
After the small encounter, the Angel King's army eliminated this group of enemies at a slight cost with a small number of infantry casualties, and then continued to move forward.
This small-scale battle was just a prelude. The Divine Envoy King's Legion quickly arrived at the perimeter of the surrounded rear guard. There were already four to five hundred Green Foot Armor gathered here. The other Green Foot Armor had gone nowhere. They were at this time. Without aerial guidance, it’s easy to get lost.
Facing an enemy that was ten times their own, the "tank" troops of the God's Envoy Army no longer skimped on ammunition. Relying on the commander's advantage in vision, they began early suppressive shooting outside the enemy's alert range.
Fire bombs and ordinary iron bullets were fired quickly. One wave of shooting was followed by another. The rapid burst of shooting made the ants on the opposite side turn upside down.
By the time the Green Infantry Armor reacted and began to deploy troops to counterattack the source of the firepower, they had already suffered three rounds of rapid fire.
In order to avoid accidentally injuring the surrounded friendly forces, the "tank" troops fired at a very low angle. Some fire bombs failed to focus on the target and burned on the ground. They quickly ignited some grass and trees, forming a small-scale wildfire, but the vegetation nearby was sparse. , difficult to spread.
After the iron bullet is fired, even if it does not hit directly, it will easily ricochet multiple times on the ground, and the power is still not small. There will always be green armors that are concentrated and either killed or injured.
More than thirty Green Infantry Armors were lost, but more than a hundred Green Infantry Armors braved the artillery fire and rushed forward to engage in close combat.
The "tank" troops also countercharged to meet them. Except for the two-pronged rhinoceros beetle and the dung beetle with light cannons on their backs, other close combat beasts joined the battle.
This battle is not so easy. Almost every large war beast will be surrounded by three or five green beetles, and medium-sized beetles usually have to fight with one to three green beetles.
Even with iron armor, even with a large number of infantry risking their lives in battles, casualties gradually began to appear among the "tank" troops.
The large two-pronged rhinoceros beetle that the protagonist was sitting on had fired its last iron bomb. The team commander above was about to order his subordinates to collect stones and gravel to use as cannonballs, but the protagonist stopped him.
Soon, several ants were ordered to carry a wooden stick with great effort and handed it to the God Envoy King. The protagonist weighed it, it was a little light, but it felt acceptable. This time he came out riding the fly "Xiao Hei". He did not carry a heavy weapon like a copper rod, so he had to find a temporary weapon to join the battle.
The protagonist's mount rushes forward. The protagonist's back limbs stand firmly on the mount's head, and his front two limbs hug a giant wooden stick as thick as a mung bean to join the battle group.
At this time, nearly a hundred more Green Infantry Armors joined the battle group, and the "tank" troops and accompanying infantry suffered heavy casualties.
When the protagonist in the state of "God descends to earth" joins the battle, a long stick is like a dragon entering the water, dancing out a ball of stick shadows, temporarily relieving the pressure on the troops.
With a move of his long stick, a green beetle was lifted off and hit the stone behind it heavily with a crisp sound. The strong carapace at the impact point was almost cracked into pieces.
Four green walking armors quickly attacked, trying to surround the "lonely" protagonist's mount. The protagonist swept in a circle. The green walking armors that were hit were either dead or injured. The injured green walking armors also ran away in despair, regardless of the situation. No matter how the driver pulls its tentacles, it will have no effect.
Another Green Armor approaches the protagonist obscenely from behind the mount. Because the bulging carapace on the back of the mount and the cannon on its back are blocking it, the protagonist cannot see the rear and cannot protect the rear.
Hearing the warning from the ants behind him, the protagonist looked back and looked around again. Seeing that there were no enemies nearby, he decisively jumped off his mount and ran straight to the back.
The green beetle originally wanted to attack the fragile excretion port of the two-pronged rhinoceros beetle, but at this moment, it saw a small ant dragging a strange wooden stick towards it. Feeling that it was provoked, it took the initiative to change the excretion port without the driver's signal. target.
The Qingbujia opens its mouth big enough to swallow the protagonist in one gulp, and its pair of thick, short, sharp jaws spread apart, seeming to easily crush the ants in front of it.
In a pair of huge compound eyes on its green head, the figure of the protagonist dragging a long stick and walking quickly with six limbs becomes increasingly clear!
