After struggling for a long time, it was already dawn, but Zhu Jue had been staying underground and running back and forth in the illusion. The concept of time was already confused, and he didn't know what time it was.
According to reports, a large group of parasitic ants and insect beasts should have suddenly arrived from the east last night. They took advantage of the early morning to escape the surveillance of the flying knights who had not yet taken off, and suddenly started to attack. At present, many camps of the civilized ant alliance have been attacked.
Since Zhu Jue and other senior leaders of the civilized ant alliance are all in [Black Fire City], there is no unified command, and the troops in each camp are fighting independently. The Angel King Army and the Black Fire Ant Army were holding their own camps, but the Thin-footed Ant Army stood out to fight back and ended up being surrounded!
This place had just been attacked by hallucinogens, and the parasitic army came to attack over there. Zhu Jue didn't believe that there was no connection.
[Blackfire City] is not like the Black Creek front line. There are no cobblestone telegraph lines and ant telegraph operators. Even the conference room has been demolished by parasitic ants, making it impossible to achieve accurate remote control command.
So Zhu Jue and other commanders ordered to leave the nest, and each returned to the army to control the situation and fight against the incoming parasites.
Just walking out of [Black Fire City], Zhu Jue stood on a high place and looked out. He saw a battlefield more than ten meters away to the east, under the weeds, and saw densely packed ants and creatures of all kinds, one on the left and one on the right. The battle situation cannot be seen clearly.
At this time, some flying knights landed. They were sneak-attacked by parasitic creatures before they even took off in the morning. The flying knights who did not discover the sneak attack on the enemy in time had no shame in their faces. Now that they had almost done their spying, they quickly came to report. Take advantage of it.
Only then did Zhu Jue learn that there were not many incoming enemy troops, only about 20,000 parasitic ants and thousands of parasitic beasts.
The six easternmost temporary camps were attacked. Three of them are guarded by the King of Divine Envoys. Even the temporary camps of the King of Divine Envoys require that they must be built meticulously. All ditches and walls are in place, and police posts also provide timely warnings. The defenders rely on the terrain, and the enemy will be at a loss for a while. I still can't get in.
There was no danger in the temporary camp controlled by the Black Fire Ant Army. Although their temporary camp was a bit crude, they also gave early warning and responded resolutely. Elite troops formed formations near the entrance and exit of the camp and firmly guarded the entrance.
The dangerous ones are a camp of the slender-legged ants and a camp of the sharp-tailed ants.
The thin-footed ant army saw that there were not many parasites at first, so they took the initiative to run out of the camp to fight back. Unexpectedly, the enemy bacteria brigade arrived from behind and were surrounded. If it weren't for the brave warriors of the Thin-legged Ants, who broke out in the direction of the friendly forces while fighting, and the parasitic army divided their forces to fight, and not many troops were invested in this direction, I'm afraid the situation would have been in danger by now.
However, the sharp-tailed ant army was a handful of termite slaves carried in the camp. They were somehow infected. The parasitic bacteria quickly controlled these termites at the cost of their lifespan. They cooperated with the parasitic organisms outside and caught the sharp-tailed ant army by surprise. The ground of the camp Lost, has entered the stage of underground street fighting.
Zhu Jue saw that there were not many enemy troops, so he rushed towards the front line and sent flying knights to mobilize the troops. However, the troops on the outer defense line did not move to prevent enemy troops from popping up somewhere.
He ordered "Gun II" to lead several mobile troops of the God's Envoy King's Legion to the east to relieve the siege. At the same time, he ordered several other units to encircle the north and south sides, cut off the parasites' retreat, and completely annihilate this enemy force.
But the battle ended a bit anticlimactically. It seemed that they noticed that there was no major chaos within the coalition of parasitic brain civilization ants, and the resistance was very determined and organized, leaving no opportunity to take advantage. Before "Gun II" and other reinforcements arrived, the parasites began to retreat.
The parasitic ants and parasitic soldiers retreated in several groups. Only the group that fought fiercely with the sharp-tailed ant army underground did not have time to withdraw and was stuck underground. Then they were blocked by the Angel King's army and were wiped out underground after a battle. .
Other parasites quickly evacuated along the routes they came from. Most of these routes were hidden under vegetation, making it difficult for the flying knights to track them down.
"Gun II" led several tank corps and infantry corps under his command to catch up, fought with some parasitic beasts and ants that were lagging behind, and made some gains.
However, the parasitic organisms blocked them layer by layer, which also consumed a lot of time of the pursuers.
Zhu Jue thought for a while and ordered Fei Knight to give orders to "Gun II" and ask "Gun II" to pursue slowly and not to act rashly. At the same time, let the flying knights closely monitor the enemy troops to prevent the "Gun II" troops from being surrounded by counterattacks.
By the afternoon, "Gun II"'s troops had killed thousands of people. They saw that the enemy troops had withdrawn all the way to the bank of Qinghe River. The terrain there was complicated and the parasites were already alert. The flying knights had already discovered that the parasites moving nearby had begun to gather. , gave a timely warning, and "Gun II" decisively withdrew his troops and turned back.
By the time he returned to [Black Fire City], it was already approaching dusk, and the battlefield outside [Black Fire City] had already been cleared. It was impossible to tell that a battle that suddenly started and ended suddenly broke out here early in the morning.
At this time, Zhu Jue had been discussing with other commanders of various tribes in a temporary conference room for a long time. The floor of this conference room was covered with a layer of finely crushed pebbles, which were dug out from near where the hallucinogens were buried. It can also be used after laying.
The appearance of hallucinogens yesterday and the sudden attack by parasitic creatures today show that the enemy will not easily withdraw from the homeland of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom. Although the coalition of civilized ants took down [Black Fire City] without bloodshed, they still have to do a good job. Preparations for the subsequent battle.
Fortunately, judging from the intelligence, the main force of the large parasitic army that went to the north did not turn back. The one that launched the attack this time was the parasitic army stationed east of [Black Fire City], which was the one that had previously evacuated from [Black Fire City]. , the number is not much.
After Zhu Jue discussed with the commanders of all ethnic groups, he decided to deploy and implement the next phase of the battle.
According to the military plan, in the next one or two weeks, the civilized ant coalition will operate in three directions:
The army along the way serves as the main force in the eastward expedition to eliminate the local parasitic army and eliminate the threats that are close at hand.
They moved all the way north to seize the former northern territory of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom and build frontline defenses to prevent the main force of the parasitic army from turning back. There are fewer enemy troops to face along this way, and the main task is to build a defense line.
Go all the way west to regain the homeland of the Black Fire Ant Country east of Black Creek, and expand the defense and warning range for [Black Fire City]. There are very few enemy troops faced along the way.
The troops of each ethnic group were quickly assigned to three groups of troops going out or staying behind.
At this time, discordant sounds came out - the marching ants expressed their refusal to act with the sharp-tailed ants assigned to them, and the commanders of both sides quarreled at the meeting site!
