hours ago.
At this time, the battle between the Divine Envoy King's Army and the Allied Forces against the Pavement Ant Empire Army and its vassal armies has not yet started in the north. The armies of the two armies have assembled for battle, and a fierce battle is already underway in the air.
At this time, in Hematite City, hundreds of worker ants and more than a dozen medium-sized dung beetles laden with supplies, escorted by several small teams of Divine Envoy King warriors, filed out of their nests and secretly headed southwest. .
The "mosquitoes" in the air did not notice the movements of this small group. They were constantly driven away by the flying knights and could not protect themselves.
Among the team, some magical worker ants belonging to the scientific research department and engineering department could be vaguely seen.
When this group of ants arrived at the point where the ditch and the canal had not yet met, the battle to the north had already begun and was getting increasingly intense, but they ignored it and went about their business as planned.
Soon, pieces of mysterious liquid explosives, and even shell propellants, were unloaded from the pockets on the backs of the beetles and buried in the land between canals and ditches that had not yet been dug. Three or five pieces were buried in each pit. of densely packed.
The God Envoy King team that was guarding these construction ants, except for leaving some soldiers to guard in place, the rest of the guards and scouts spread out widely to form a cordon.
They and their party are now behind the enemy army. If an enemy army comes over, the guards here are not enough to resist it, and all their efforts will be wasted! But every bit of strength of the God Envoy King's army is now precious, and there is no way to allocate strength from the frontal battlefield to protect it! We can only try to hide as much as possible, and then rely on the cordon to respond.
Fortunately, the main force of the enemy army was like a piece of loose sand at this time. The four marquis clusters and three earl clusters just stood firm and did not send out scout troops to warn the surroundings. Even the "mosquitoes" had been defeated.
They will have no way to avoid the coming disaster!
Shortly after noon, a flying knight came to report that the enemy had retreated into the depression. The God Envoy King ordered that things be done as planned!
After receiving the order, the construction team quickly detonated the explosives that had been buried for a long time.
These explosives were the only ones left in Hematite City, and even some shell propellants were used to make up the number. The Ant United Nation's explosive reserves had been exhausted in the previous ravine battle, and there was no time to replenish them. It was with great difficulty that they finally came up with the required yield for this blast! .
On the northern battlefield, the sound of artillery also stopped at this time. The artillery unit still had artillery shells, but no propellant. A large amount of propellant was performing crucial demolition tasks here.
A huge explosion suddenly sounded, and the rising gravel and wind could even be felt by the ants more than half a meter away.
Flying sand and rocks, smoke and dust rising into the sky.
A magical worker ant responsible for this task didn't even have time to wait for the smoke and dust from the explosion to dissipate, and rushed over in a hurry!
When she saw in the explosion pit, the water from the canal breach was pouring in rapidly, quickly forming a small whirlpool with mud and foam, filling the pit again and continuing to pour into the previously dug holes. When walking in the ditch, joy comes to my heart!
The most critical part of the plan is done!
The magic worker ant was so excited that he quickly told the flying knight messenger the news, and the latter immediately flew away at high speed!
The protagonist stood on the back of the two-pronged rhinoceros beetle and looked at the depression below. The pavement ants stayed in place stupidly, with no intention of fighting back. It seems that as long as the coalition forces do not go down, they are too lazy to fight this battle and quietly wait for their fate.
At this time, the coalition forces did not rush into the depression from a high position. Instead, they began to quickly build a low wall with soil and gravel along the higher edge of the depression.
In Red Iron City, a large number of worker ants also came out. When they arrived, they helped build the wall while collecting dead grass branches and other fuel, and arranged fuel piles behind the soldiers.
After learning that the blasting was successful, the protagonist breathed a sigh of relief. He also had an unsuccessful backup plan, but that plan was obviously not the best. It would be best if he could not bear the time and troop losses required for the backup plan. But!
The pavement ants at the back were also the first to notice the incoming water. The water flow was not fast, carrying the sediment and slowly moving forward at a speed slower than the ants walking.
After all, if you use a ditch that is only as thick as a human tap pipe to fill a depression with an area of tens of square meters, the water flow cannot be pushed very fast.
In order to avoid the water flow, the pavement ants and client ants behind them pushed and crowded forward, and even climbed on the bodies of friendly troops to continue moving forward. The ants in front didn't know what was going on, and they hurriedly evacuated until they saw it with their own eyes and their tentacles touched the water flow.
Some ants did not have time to escape in the chaos. They were caught in the current and struggled hurriedly. However, the surface tension of the water film makes it difficult for these drowning people to break free for a while. And in a matter of seconds, those who fall into the water will drown and die!
The Pavement Ant Imperial Army had almost completely lost its organization at this time. Some commanders sent messengers, but they failed to reach their targets in the chaos.
The pavement ants in the front remained motionless, and the rear had become a mess.
By the time several pavement ant marquises finally received the news and reacted, it was already late in the afternoon. Most of the depression was already soaked in water. Although the water level was not high, some places just wet the ground and became full of water. Mud, but it has frightened the ants.
The Pavement Ant Imperial Army began to counterattack. They spontaneously organized dozens of troops of various sizes, led by barons and viscounts, to attack the condescending coalition forces guarding them.
However, this counterattack was too weak and was basically spontaneous. There was no unified command or coordination, and it was quickly extinguished again and again.
As the water surface becomes larger and deeper, more pavement ants and client ants are drawn into the water, densely packed and collectively struggling on the water surface.
The enemy's efforts to break through are becoming more and more intense. Since the front line to be defended is very long and the defenders' defense line is very thin, some places are almost broken through. The protagonist has to invest in reserve troops for reinforcements.
The coalition gritted its teeth and persisted. As dusk came, the counterattack of the Pavement Ant Imperial Army finally weakened rapidly. By this time, the water had almost filled the entire depression.
All the besieged pavement ants and client ants were struggling in the stagnant water and mud. Some of the higher plateaus were densely packed with ants seeking refuge, and more ants had already fallen into the water and were unable to escape. There are also some ants, climbing on the "raft" made up of corpses, lingering!
Tens of thousands of lives disappear quickly in the cool autumn water. Such death is silent, but more terrifying than a battle with real swords and guns, with flesh and blood flying everywhere!
At this time, the enemy no longer had the strength to break through and could only rely on instinct to continue fighting against the slowly rising water level!
