On the night of the 19th, the main force of the [Banxia City] defenders successfully withdrew from the encirclement.
This retreat was carefully planned, and the plan was formulated by more than a dozen magic soldier ants in the defenders. They successfully deceived the enemy and made them decide to stay in place to carry out the siege, temporarily "freeing" the breakout troops a way out.
But correspondingly, the defenders had to abandon nearly half of their compatriots, which was the price of the retreat.
According to the plan, only the male ants, the commander of the magic soldier ants, and most of the elite soldiers among the defenders evacuated. The only queen ant, three injured male ants with limited mobility, and all the worker ants in the nest remained. Continue to deceive and contain the enemy.
Even the soldiers in the regular army, who were injured or unwell and would slow down the movement of the large army, were all left behind.
The ants who stayed were all voluntary, and all the commanders agreed to the plan and decided to sacrifice half of the ants in exchange for the survival of the other half of the ants.
For two consecutive days, in addition to fighting for defense, the ants worked day and night to dig a tunnel underground leading to the outside. This was an evacuation passage.
If we evacuate directly from the entrance and exit of [Panxia City], we will definitely alert the enemy, and there will be no way to escape from the heavy siege. Only by trying to get as close to the edge of the encirclement through tunnels as possible, or preferably directly bypassing the encirclement, can the success rate of a breakout operation be increased.
In order to ensure a smooth breakout, even the digging of tunnels was done by the ants who stayed behind. The breakout ants had been recharging their energy for two days.
Because there are so many underground rocks and the soil is fragmented, this tunnel has twists and turns. After digging a few meters, it becomes impossible to dig out. There is no way to pass directly through the encirclement.
However, the defenders also expected this result. In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, when it was determined that the tunnel could not continue to extend, the breakout troops began to evacuate directly through the tunnel in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, Duke Pavement Ant places too much emphasis on the great military success of conquering the strong fortress of [Pinellia City]. Although he also suspected that the defenders were breaking through, the troops at the front confirmed that there were still many gods in [Pinellia City]. After the king's soldiers were stationed and the firepower was very fierce, for the sake of safety, the battalions were not allowed to intercept and pursue them all night, but continued to surround the nest.
At dawn, the Angel King's army had escaped from the enemy's camp, leaving the enemy behind for more than two hours' ant walk.
But their danger is not over yet. Just after dawn, the Pavement Ant Empire Army sent more than a hundred Green Armored Armors, guided by the "mosquitoes" in the air, and quickly chased the evacuating warriors of the Envoy King!
The enemy has no intention of letting go of the retreating warriors of the Envoy King!
————
In the air, countless "mosquitoes" have been hovering, and the "buzzing" sound lingers! The magic soldier ant "Blackberry" looked up at the sky and shook his tentacles angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
These "mosquitoes" are very perseverant and patient. Even though the wind is very strong today, they do not move away. They flap their wings in the air with great effort to stabilize their body shape.
"Blackberry" knew that the enemy's pursuers must be not far behind, otherwise "Mosquito" would not be so diligent in guiding them.
The legion that "Blackberry" belongs to is moving quickly in the wilderness in a long march. They are the last of the evacuating troops. Once the enemy pursues them, they will also be the most dangerous rear legion.
"Blackberry" looked at the legion commander not far away. The young male ant was also very anxious. From time to time, he would anxiously circle in place because the team in front stopped again.
Although the breakout last night went smoothly, the Divine Envoy King's army unknowingly strayed far away from the familiar ant road. They just relied on instinct to head south and fled farther away first.
Until now, the troops searching for the path ahead have not found the original ant tunnel. It's no wonder that the local ant colonies have been relocated long ago, and the short-acting pheromones on the frequently traveled roads have long since expired.
What's more, there are not many ant tunnels in the local area. Even if there are, the long-lasting pheromones left on the roadside may have become ineffective due to the chaos of war.
The evacuating troops did not expect this situation, and there were no "flying knights" in the air to guide the way. They could only use the vague memories when they arrived to find the way in front of a number of troops, and then the larger troops followed up. The marching speed suddenly dropped sharply.
The pursuing enemy will not slow down!
Soon, the keen antennae of "BlackBerry" felt the vibration coming from not far behind, which was the enemy's movement.
In an emergency, "Blackberry" ordered the messenger to report to the legion commander, and at the same time made a friction sound and smell to warn the surroundings.
The other two captains of the magic soldier ant team in the legion also started to warn almost at the same time. Other soldiers who received the warning message also responded one after another and quickly conveyed the warning information to the entire legion.
The leader of the male ant army looked at the three magic soldier ants with slight dissatisfaction. He didn't like these magic soldier ants, and he couldn't stand their "unauthorized" warning behavior that went beyond his own.
But the situation was urgent, and he couldn't care less about pursuing the blame. Besides, he himself responded instinctively. If he really wanted to blame him, he would be very embarrassed...
"Blackberry" and the others gave a timely warning, as the long marching column had just gathered together and arranged into a defensive formation.
I saw the grass swaying, and more than a dozen green beetles with a green metallic luster had already pushed aside the grass blades and were galloping towards them at extremely fast speeds.
These green infantry armors crashed directly into the formation of the God Envoy King's army without slowing down. The thick military formation was like a buffer cushion, slowly forcing the speeding green infantry armor to a stop.
Afterwards, the ferocious-looking Qingbu Jia and the warriors of the Divine Envoy King who bravely fought together fought together.
A round of assault by more than a dozen Green Infantry Armors had almost completely disrupted the formation of the legion where "Blackberry" was located. Hundreds of warriors of the God's Envoy King were killed or injured under the collision and trampling of the enemy.
"Blackberry" struggled to regroup his subordinates from the chaos, opened their jaws together, and pushed towards a heavily surrounded Green Walker from the side.
This green beetle is very powerful, its large jaws are constantly harvesting the lives of its comrades, and its carapace is so thick that it is difficult to swallow. Some warriors of the Angel King tried to cut through the joint, but the dura mater here was also very strong, and the iron jaw knife could not cut it in a short time.
Some of the God Envoy King warriors tried to get under Qingbujia's belly and attack the abdomen and even the anus, but Qingbujia lowered his body and this tactic did not work well.
"Blackberry" rushed over with her subordinates. Her mind, which was far smarter than ordinary ants, thought for a moment, and immediately led her subordinates to climb up the back along the back legs of the green beetle, towards the driver on the green beetle. approaching.
This green infantry was not accompanied by infantry, and there were no protective ant warriors on its back, only two drivers. Only a few Qingbujia have a commander and 6 guards on their backs.
Qingbujia relies entirely on its own ability to fight under the command of its drivers. "Blackberry" plans to kill those drivers first!
