The marching civilized ant coalition forces formed a long queue, advancing on a narrow natural passage that stretched for more than 50 meters. The front team had already approached the [West Stone Fort] Fortress, and the rear team was still far away for the ants. Local trek.
Such a long snake formation will obviously be very disadvantageous if it encounters an enemy. The Destroyer that appeared earlier gave the coalition forces an ominous omen.
Suddenly, abnormal noises came from the middle and rear of the team again, faintly transmitted into the tentacles through the thick fog!
The other ants just listened in confusion, and some male ant commanders leaned forward and searched with their tentacles. Zhu Jue heard it very clearly, it was the sound of fighting!
Zhu Jue looked back hurriedly, but the fog was so thick that even the ants could not be seen clearly from a few decimeters away, and what happened in the distance could not be clearly seen. He could only send a messenger up the ant stream to find out what happened.
About a quarter of an hour later, the noise became louder and louder, and the messenger sent out did not come back. However, Zhu Jue received a report from the messenger sent by the high-ranking commander at the rear, and then he learned that there was a group of thousands of Destroyers. The team raided the advancing coalition forces in the rear, and the two sides were fighting fiercely!
All right! Now Zhu Jue no longer has to worry about whether the Destroyer will break through the quagmire and how to break through the quagmire. What he was most worried about has happened! The God Messenger King's law of bad luck (worry will always come true) is always so accurate!
The marching civilized ant coalition's formation was loose, and it was difficult to organize a defense in the face of a surprise attack. Only a few thousand Destroyers had already turned the rear of the marching column into chaos. In the information package, you can see from time to time that coalition soldiers were squeezed into the abyss of large rocks in the chaos and crowding. However, the soldiers who were actually able to escape and fight the Destroyers did not invest much due to the restrictions of the terrain, so they could not do it for a while. Fight off the Destroyer!
Zhu Jue hurriedly ordered an infantry regiment of the Divine Envoy King around him to return for reinforcements. They were fully armored and walked through the muddy land next to the narrow passage to avoid the bustling narrow passage. One foot was deep and the other was shallow. The rear battlefield.
Zhu Jue did not intend to fight with these oncoming Destroyers. In such weather, Zhu Jue was worried that there were still main forces of Destroyers nearby. Although the army had just wiped out a group of 60,000 to 70,000 Destroyers, there was another group of similar numbers of Destroyers whose whereabouts were unknown. If the Destroyers that just launched the attack came from this group of enemy ants, the main force of the enemy Destroyers may be nearby!
The top priority is that Zhu Jue feels that the tired and marching coalition forces should be brought to the [Xishibao] fortress as soon as possible and rely on the city defense to gain time to rest and recuperate, rather than being passive when the weather, location, and harmony are not favorable. fighting!
There were not many Destroyers who launched the assault, and they were finally contained under the counterattack of the attacked troops and reinforcements. Other troops took the opportunity to quickly pass there, and the rear troops finally fought and retreated.
On the way, several groups of hundreds to thousands of Destroyers appeared one after another. A few of them had already passed through the swamp and launched an attack on the coalition forces. Most of them were still wandering on the other side of the quagmire or in it. Generally speaking, they did not bring much to the coalition's advance. hinder.
From the information package, Zhu Jue could see that these destroyers were carefully advancing on the surface of the quagmire, using the surface tension of the water film to stabilize their bodies from sinking. They were relatively far apart from each other, and the surface tension of muddy water was far inferior to that of clean water. Destroyers who are good at taking advantage of this must also be careful. If they interfere with each other, they may both die. In the quagmire, you can also see many corpses of Destroyers half-sunk in the mud and motionless!
————
The sudden violent noise ahead made Zhu Jue's heart twitch, his jaws clenched unconsciously, and his tentacles stretched straight in the direction of the [West Stone Castle] Fortress.
Zhu Jue's position was approaching, and now the deep color of the tall ant mounds of the [West Stone Castle] fortress had penetrated the dense fog and could be clearly seen.
At such a close distance from the [West Stone Fort] Fortress, the former army also encountered a surprise attack, and the destroyers still came from the direction of the fortress! what does that mean! ?
The fortress garrison did not come out to support, and the messenger sent by Zhu Jue to contact him did not respond for a long time, and his whereabouts are unknown!
Could it be that the [West Stone Fort] Fortress has fallen? ?
This is impossible! ! !
Zhu Jue did not deploy the defenders of the two frontline fortresses in this battle. The defenders of the [West Stone Fort] Fortress and the [East Stone Fort] Fortress were also troops who had been fighting the Destroyer for a long time. It was unlikely that they would remain silent. was defeated so quickly!
Zhu Jue wanted to understand this and felt that the Destroyer might have taken a detour back to the direction of the fortress, or that the defenders might have just been restrained!
Thinking of this, Zhu Jue issued an order with a slight anxiety, asking the civilized ant tribe coalition forces to gather as soon as possible, break through the Destroyer blockage in front of them at all costs, and enter the fortress!
Zhu Jue even thought that if the [West Stone Castle] fortress really fell, it must have happened after the fog fell. The flying knight also reported the situation in the fortress before the fog fell. Then even if the Destroyer takes over the fortress, his footing will definitely not be stable.
If you want to ensure the safety of the coalition forces in the thick fog and the enemy's situation is unclear, you must go to the fortress! It must be recovered!
Zhu Jue made up his mind, and the coalition forces also moved forward bravely in the face of adversity. The discord between the commanders was temporarily put aside, and all the soldiers were fighting for survival!
The big-headed ant warriors and scythe-hunting ferocious ant warriors of the Divine Envoy King's army, the thin-legged swift ant warriors of the thin-legged swift ant kingdom, the honeypot ant warriors of the honeypot ant kingdom, and the marching ant warriors who came from the reinforcements of the marching ant kingdom are all here. Under the command, they overcame the fatigue of fighting and marching for days, the lack of physical strength from food for many days, and the physical discomfort in the humid weather, and launched wave after wave of ambushes to the front.
Sometimes, an attack wave that sacrifices hundreds of people at a time can only bring the army one decimeter closer to the fortress, but the civilized ant coalition is still not discouraged. They attack again and again, are repelled again and again, and come back again and again!
Now, there are only a few hundred Destroyers blocking the front of the coalition, but they occupy a commanding pass on the narrow road. The attacks of the civilized ant coalition have been contained. They finally captured it and then quickly lost it.
Zhu Jue mobilized his troops of small-footed ants to detour from the north, trying to directly attack the side and rear of the Destroyer, forcing it to abandon the pass. Now this mobile unit has left for a quarter of an hour, and no news has been sent back. The Destroyers guarding the pass have not seen any signs of instability in the rear. It is not known where this mobile unit went in the heavy fog, whether it was lost or lost. Trapped in the mire! ?
Zhu Jue could only send out one more mobile force. At this time, the sound of fighting in the rear of the coalition forces was getting louder and louder. Countless destroyers were emerging from the thick fog and launching brutal attacks on the panicked coalition forces!
