Seeing that the preparations of the Pavement Ant Empire Army are proceeding at a rapid pace, with a continuous stream of transport teams collecting large amounts of military supplies collected from various places being delivered to the front line every day, the protagonist cannot sit still.
At this time, the outer city walls and moats on the Angel King's legion are far from being completed, and many underground fortifications have not even begun construction. Only one of the three lines of defense conceived by the protagonist has been completed.
It is difficult for such a defense to withstand the siege of nearly a million Pavement Ant Imperial Army for a long time. We must find a way to hold back the enemy!
As a result, the God-Envoy King's army began to harass tactics again, trying to continuously consume the enemy's troops and supplies and delay the enemy's preparations for war.
In the previous battles, the Divine Envoy King's Legion had deployed a number of troops to hide outside the city, and used frequent night attacks to attack the enemy. The effect was good, and the enemy was once panicked as if they had hit a spider's web.
The current war situation is different from that of that time. Now the Pavement Ant Imperial Army has not started to attack, and the need to consume the enemy's effective strength is not urgent. Instead, it is more critical to find ways to attack the enemy's food transportation routes and delay the enemy's preparations for war.
But that's not easy. Nowadays, the Pavement Ant Imperial Army not only has the fast-moving silver ant troops, but also a large number of green infantry that are much faster than the ant infantry. The enemy's food transportation is during the day. If the harassing troops sent out cannot succeed in one attack and evacuate quickly, they will easily be overtaken by the patrolling Silver Ants and Green Armored Armors, and become involved in an unnecessary tough battle, which will waste the already insufficient troops.
If the Angel King's Army was still established before the battle, then except for the beetle troops, there would be no army suitable for carrying out daytime raids. Guerrillas at night were ineffective in preventing the enemy from transporting food. But the Beetle troops are now resting and replenishing their previous battle losses.
It seems that the Divine Envoy King's army has nothing to do.
But fortunately, the Legion of God's Envoy King has the protagonist's forward-looking vision brought by human historical experience. Halfway through the battle, he has already instructed the rear to carry out some innovations in arms.
Now, it’s time for the new arms to debut!
On this day, in an open space in the forest, through the sunlight shining in, one could see the eye-catching outline of an ant nest on the ground.
Here it is!
100 combat flying knights were taking turns flying out from the underground base, dividing into four clusters in the air, circling around the ant mound, not in a hurry to leave, as if they were waiting for something.
At this time, there were hundreds of fighting flying knights cruising in the woods in the north.
The "Mosquito" troops of the Pavement Ant Empire's Western Expedition suffered heavy losses after successive battles some time ago. Recently, they had several battles with the well-prepared flying knights, and finally lost their air superiority completely.
This was a rare battle in the history of the Pavement Ant Imperial Army in which they lost air supremacy. The remaining "mosquitoes" were forced to disperse and hide in underground nests in army buildings, not daring to go out easily.
After seizing air supremacy, the God's Envoy Legion has room to use more air tactics.
Hundreds of fighting flying knights were waiting. About ten minutes later, a sound far louder than the flapping of the wings of a fly mount came.
From the shadows under the distant tree canopy, a group of huge flying insects burrowed into the sunlight above.
The combat flying knights did not make any move to challenge them. They already knew that they were friendly forces.
What came was a team of giant dragonflies that originally belonged to the Ministry of Communications. Now, they have been incorporated into the Divine Envoy King's Army and have become the first "bomber" force.
The huge dragonfly was obtained through trade from the hairy forest ants inherited from the Water God. This year, the Ministry of Science and Technology has overcome the difficulty of giant dragonflies needing water to reproduce and has used shallow ponds in the territory to reproduce and domesticate giant dragonflies.
These giant dragonflies have wings as big as the palm of an adult man. They have excellent load-bearing flight capabilities and are suitable for long-distance flights.
When the Angel King's Army needed to strengthen its air-to-ground firepower, the Star Beetle was not suitable for long-distance flights, the Locust was eliminated because of its relatively low load capacity, and the Giant Dragonfly was selected as a bomber vehicle.
12 giant dragonfly "bombers" merged with the combat flying knights, and flew towards the northern forest under the cover of the combat flying knights.
These giant dragonflies have no self-protection ability against enemy air forces except for the large jaws of their mounts, so they need escort from combat flying knights, but their firepower against the ground is impressive.
Not long after the flight, three reconnaissance flying knights arrived. After seeing the large force, the reconnaissance flying knights turned around and flew ahead to guide the direction.
Ten minutes later, a transport team of pavement ants several meters long on the ground appeared in the eyes of the warriors of the God Envoy King. This transport team consists of tens of thousands of pavement ants and carries a large number of straw grain bags.
The combat flying knights quickly occupied all four directions to provide early warning. Although the enemy "mosquitoes" could not be seen in this airspace, they carried out their tasks meticulously.
This group of enemy convoys had no ability to counterattack in the air, and the Giant Dragonfly bomber unit, which was deployed for the first time, was able to kill without any scruples.
There are wooden platforms on the backs of these giant dragonflies, and there are barriers around the platforms to prevent them from falling. In addition to 2 drivers and 1 commander, each giant dragonfly also has 6 bombardiers on its back.
These bombardiers are all strong soldier ants. They carry out the special "aerial bombs" stored in the sealed basket in the center of the platform. You can see that the "aerial bombs" are bigger than the soldier ants' heads.
In the swaying air, it would be difficult for even a strong soldier ant to hold such a large "aerial bomb" in its mouth. But fortunately there are grooves on the platform, and the bomb can be pushed forward along the grooves.
When it rolls close to the bomb drop port, the soldier ant bombardier will use the jaw knife to pierce the outer protective film of the bomb, and then immediately push hard, and the "aerial bomb" will follow the sloping downward groove-shaped bomb drop port and release from the giant bomb. Dragonfly's side fell.
Each giant dragonfly bomber has two bomb release ports, one on the left and one on the right, one in front and one in the back, staggered behind the wings.
Dozens of huge "aerial bombs" had oxidized and caught fire during their fall.
Some bombs suddenly exploded while they were still in mid-air, sending sparks of burning grease and mysterious liquid mixture flying into the air. Some bombs exploded after landing, scattering flames.
These flames were hot and flame-resistant, and quickly ignited nearby dry grass branches. The bombed pavement ant transport team was immediately separated by several scattered small fires.
The Giant Dragonfly bombing force tilted 240 aerial bombs into the air and left after seeing that the transportation team on the ground suffered heavy losses and 67% of the transportation team's food was burned.
