Zhu Jue showed off his power and smashed the outer wall of an originally intact ant mound, and then used wooden sticks to flatten several stunned Destroyers inside.
The exhausted soldiers of the civilized ant alliance all around them cheered up and gathered around Zhu Jue to protect the King of Gods, and they all went to kill the ant mound together!
Zhu Jue didn't care that these ant mounds were originally his own house. He was worried that there were hidden dangers in the narrow and complex indoor environment. In fact, it was indeed a crisis at every step. If it weren't for the cover of the ants around him, he would have been hiding at the entrance of the cave sooner or later. The Destroyer behind or in the fork in the road will sneak attack.
So Zhu Jue began to demolish the house, rushing through all the partitions he encountered, not giving the Destroyer a chance to sneak attack, and also expanding the fighting space, allowing the coalition soldiers to advance smoothly.
Such high-intensity fighting and house demolition lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Zhu Jue felt that the state of "gods descending to earth" could no longer be maintained, otherwise the sequelae would be too great, so he hurriedly quit the ant mound and the "gods descending to earth" mode.
At this time, under the fierce fighting of the coalition forces led by Zhu Jue, thousands of coalition soldiers had already invaded the interior of the three ant mounds and were fighting against the stubborn Destroyers. Tens of thousands of coalition forces had entered the fortress walls.
Outside the [West Stone Fort] fortress, in the thick fog, the coalition forces at the rear finally stopped their defeat. Under the command of the commanders of various ethnic groups, they stabilized their formation and fought against the Destroyers who kept appearing in the thick fog. .
It was already night at this time, and there was obviously a bright moon in the sky, but the outline of the moon could not be seen clearly, only a vague white shadow hanging in the sky. In the night sky, the moonlight was constantly refracted by the thick fog, and the entire sky had an abnormal layer of pale light, which was enough to slightly illuminate the battlefield on the ground. But no matter how you look at it, this thick fog is three points pale and seven points dark, making it even more weird.
[West Stone Castle] Outside the fortress, more and more Destroyers appeared, but inside the ant mound, the battle was not over yet.
The civilized ant alliance was blocked in the middle, with destroyers as ferocious as scorpions and mantises in front and behind. Zhu Jue has actually lost his command. He has no direct troops around him, not even professional messengers. Most of the soldiers who protect him are some soldiers who gathered spontaneously. Even if Zhu Jue lets them carry out the orders, he actually doesn’t know what is happening. Where are the senior commanders of this army?
The senior commanders of various ethnic groups were in almost the same situation. They were scattered everywhere during the chaotic march and siege. Some of them had died in the chaos, and they had all lost their command anyway. This army has returned to the state of their ancestors. The decisive players in the battle are ordinary soldiers and grassroots team captains. As long as these soldiers have not lost their fighting spirit, the coalition will still be fighting!
In such a state of fighting each other, Zhu Jue was powerless. He once again entered the state of "gods descending to earth" and went back to fight on the battlefield outside the city. Finally, he found a legion of the Divine Envoy King at the rear.
This legion is already half disabled. The legion commander was killed, and the captain of the first squad was also killed. The squad leader of the second squad was temporarily commanded. The casualties of the entire army were as high as two-thirds. They were already disabled. The remaining soldiers followed the plan. Each joined the squads that still had commanders, forming an incomplete legion consisting of thirteen squads.
When he came to the battlefield at the rear, Zhu Jue realized how difficult it was to fight at the rear.
The troops covered the scattered friendly forces and fought and retreated, receiving almost no support. Destroyers seemed to appear suddenly from all directions at any time. Sometimes it was a solitary one that instantly killed an unprepared Divine Envoy King warrior and then walked away and returned to the mist. Sometimes a group of Destroyers came with their teeth and claws bared to kill. Attack the defense line head-on.
Soldiers die every minute. The comrades who were fighting side by side just now may have their heads separated due to negligence, or they may fall to the ground due to exhaustion and never get up again.
Zhu Jue and the soldiers of the Divine Envoy King repelled two waves of offensives together. Seeing that the surrounding coalition soldiers had withdrawn, and only a few stray ants were left scurrying around like headless flies, the rear troops quickly gathered their formation. , quickly approach the main force of the [West Stone Castle] Fortress to avoid being divided and surrounded by the Destroyer.
The mist began to surge, and the Destroyers, whose whereabouts and number were unknown, began to move in the mist and began to pursue them.
There were dead bodies everywhere along the way, as well as wounded and struggling ants lying on the ground. The army of the Divine Envoy King at the rear ignored them and continued to approach the fortress.
At this time, Zhu Jue clearly felt that the moving ants around him were rushing towards the [West Stone Castle] Fortress. At the same time, they tacitly exuded the smell and friction sound that represented "advance". The smell and friction sound rippled in the night fog. Come and pass it to all coalition forces near and far.
Although there was no report from the messenger, Zhu Jue estimated that the forward troops had finally captured the ant mound or even the underground fortress, and then the army would swarm forward and enter the city.
Zhu Jue hurriedly led this legion of the Divine Envoy King to join the torrent entering the city. Only by relying on underground fortifications could he resist the unknown number of destroyers in the dark night and thick fog. Now that the fortress was finally cleared, the army could breathe a sigh of relief. !
He couldn't tell how many ants had been squeezed away, and how many destroyers suddenly appeared behind him. Zhu Jue was exhausted. He had never been tired before, but he could finally rest against the wall of the relatively safe underground chamber. It’s been a while!
About half of the coalition forces have already burrowed into the underground of the [West Stone Castle] Fortress, and the remaining half are still rushing in, or may never get in. There are already tens of thousands of Destroyers appearing in the thick fog. Surrounded the fortress on the ground and attacked the escaping ants frantically.
I don’t know how long I rested, maybe not long, but finally a male big-headed ant found Zhu Jue.
He is the captain of the fortress garrison. Zhu Jue just learned about what happened to the fortress from him:
The [West Stone Fort] fortress was attacked early this morning. Due to heavy fog blocking the view, the defenders lacked defenses, resulting in the rapid loss of the ground part. However, the defenders still held on to the underground of the fortress until night.
There were not many Destroyers in the siege, and they were concentrated in the ant mound. When the main force of the coalition attacked the ant mound, the defenders noticed it and launched an all-out counterattack. They cooperated internally and externally to eliminate the Destroyers in the ant mound and underground. The coalition forces were able to escape underground and escape!
But the defenders didn’t know where the destroyers came from or how many there were in total...
At this time, the fortress was extremely crowded and chaotic, and the commanders were working hard to restore order and restore underground defenses. After Zhu Jue heard the news, he also struggled and planned to find the commander of the fortress garrison.
