The Radar Destroyer was killed, making the Destroyer army's counterattack this time very fierce and stubborn. Even when the troops of the God's Envoy King's Army almost retreated to [Back Stone Castle], there was still a group of more than 1,000 Destroyers who did not give up the pursuit and followed The thin-legged warrior ants were led all the way around the [West Stone Fort].
Taking advantage of the darkness, the civilized ant coalition mobilized mobile forces to completely annihilate this lone group of destroyers, another small victory.
However, that night, the fighting at [West Stone Fort] was very fierce, and the defenders were once at a huge disadvantage. The Destroyers had no intention of withdrawing their troops and launched a fierce attack day and night. The walls of the fortress that had just been recaptured fell again.
Due to the night fighting, the flying knights and mobile troops of the civilized ant alliance were unable to fight, and the defenders of [West Stone Castle] were forced to spend a bloody night!
After the defenders of [West Stone Castle] once again retreated to the Anthill Fortress, the Destroyers pressed forward in large numbers, and even the camps were abandoned. Tens of thousands of Destroyers of various colors swarmed inside and outside the city wall, and the color of the earth was even darker than the night sky. The darkness is deep. There are several layers of troops inside and outside, and the [West Stone Fort] is completely surrounded!
In the Anthill Fortress, the defenders initially relied on narrow alleys to hold on, which was the second line of defense for the fortress. Destroyers often break into a certain distance and then find it difficult to move forward. However, in such a narrow area fighting, the Destroyer had the advantage. In less than 2 hours, the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing that there is no end to this consumption, the defenders' strength is too precious and cannot be consumed at will. The defender commander had to order the troops to prepare to retreat to the third line of defense. The honeypot ant warriors at the rear will continue to stand on the front line, regardless of sacrifices and losses. Buy time for the army to retreat.
Immediately, each ballista was dismantled into parts and quickly moved underground through the expressway, and then assembled in preset battlefield nests to participate in the deployment of defense.
At the firing ports of each ballista, the Destroyers crawling all over the surface of the ant mound were everywhere. They even tried to put their huge heads in and bite them, but they were often blocked by the narrow shooting ports. Most ballista units don't need to worry about these destroyers. They can only destroy the wall near the firing port to get in, and solid walls cannot be destroyed in a short time with their jaws.
The only two things to be afraid of are the little Destroyers that can barely get into the shooting port, and the White-bellied Destroyers that self-destruct. As long as the former gets in, it will massacre among the artillery that is not equipped with armor and lacks close combat training; the self-destruction of the latter will expose the weakness of the anthill wall, the shooting port, and the door will be opened in an instant, enough to allow the destroyers to pour in , at the same time, the shock wave and flying debris also caused heavy losses to the artillery.
The defenders had to allocate some of their precious troops to cover the retreat of the artillery. As a result, the defenders were suddenly attacked from many sides, and the casualty figures skyrocketed!
At the same time, a large number of ant warriors were carrying supplies and food underground. During the heavy rain, this batch of food had just been moved above the ground to avoid floods, and now it was forced to move down to avoid the invaders.
After a full 2 hours, the defenders were basically transferred. At this time, the honeypot ant warriors left behind had suffered heavy losses from the internal and external attacks of the Destroyer, and even small Destroyers had infiltrated into the fast lane. was blocked by an infantry legion of the Angel King.
After completing their mission, the remaining honeypot ant rear guards finally received the order to retreat from the messengers. They hurriedly turned their defense lines and passed through other narrow backup passages as quickly as possible under the inextricable pursuit of the Destroyer, gradually turning underground.
At this time, on the ground, in the passages and in the nest rooms, there were corpses and wreckage of the defenders scattered everywhere, as if solidified into characters, recording the bravery of the defenders and the ferocity of the enemy!
And the Destroyers have been chasing after each other, never intending to give up. They were already fierce, but tonight they were even more stimulated to madness by the death of a Radar Destroyer! Those narrow back-up passages could only temporarily block them, and soon these passages were widened due to the hard squeeze of the Destroyer's body and the destruction of its jaws.
When the first batch of Destroyers followed the scent and crawled through the twists and turns of the passage, killing the last few wounded honeypot ant warriors who staggered for their lives in front of them, after they got through a hole, the vision suddenly opened up!
This is the preset battlefield nest and the third line of defense for the [West Stone Castle] defenders! The last line of defense!
The Destroyer, who was baring his teeth and claws, didn't notice anything and rushed up directly. The ground was completely dark and lightless. He could only hear the rustling footsteps and feel the slight but cruel vibration on the ground.
Neither the attacker nor the defender was deterred by the darkness, and planned to continue fighting relying on the perception of the tentacles.
In the darkness, the sound of the bow string suddenly exploded, followed by several shrill sounds that broke through the air, vibrating back and forth in the narrow preset battlefield nest, and the ant tentacles were almost deafened by the stimulation!
What's even more exciting is that the leading Destroyers, who were so arrogant just now, have been torn apart one by one and turned into corpses!
At such a close range, these destroyers were fired upon by several ballistae of different calibers that had been pre-aimed and cocked. The largest ballistae's shells were as big as peanuts!
After a round of volley of ballistae, most of the dozen or so Destroyers that had entered the preset battlefield nest ceased to exist. Especially the Destroyer that was hit by the giant peanut bomb seemed to have been stepped on and was covered in bruises. A puddle of meat. The few Destroyers who stubbornly moved forward despite being slightly or seriously injured were quickly killed by the defenders' infantry who filled up the defense line.
The second batch of Destroyers entered the nest, and their tentacles captured the "crunch" and "crunch" sounds of the artillery of the civilized ant coalition being wound up through the ratchet device, and they also smelled the strong smell of their own corpses.
The Destroyers still charged, and the death of their companions would not make them hesitate at all. But before they could reach half the distance of the nest, the firepower of the small ballistae that had been cocked first came like maggots attached to their bones.
At such a close distance, even small ballista shells the size of millet are enough to shatter the Destroyer's solid carapace and penetrate into the body, causing serious injuries. But as long as they are not beaten to pieces or shot in the head, these destroyers will always drag their bodies forward.
But then, the mung bean shells fired by the medium-sized ballista ricocheted back and forth among the already scarred Destroyer team, just like the god of death wielding a scythe, harvesting every life!
In many preset battlefield nests, scenes like this were played out in turn. The Destroyer, who had been arrogant just now, after successively capturing the first and second lines of defense of [West Stone Castle], finally stood in front of the last line of defense of the defenders. I hit my head and was bleeding!
But the destroyers are still pouring in!
