May 14, dusk.
After approaching the war zone, the Destroyer appeared more and more frequently, reminding the soldiers that this was a battlefield and an enemy-occupied area.
Activities in enemy-occupied areas are extremely risky and require careful planning. The Flying Knight reported that there were already small Destroyer troops nearby that were gathering into a larger force, approaching the civilized ant coalition commanded by Zhu Jue. The Destroyers were not unaware of the Alliance's presence, further increasing the danger.
The army had just landed. They did not stay on the safe ship and were protected by the water. For a while, they were still a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, there is a river on the right side of the army, which can avoid the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. This army cannot be underestimated, it is not some ant army that is about to collapse at the first touch.
Before nightfall that day, the coalition forces built a temporary nest camp according to the standards of the Angel King's Legion to spend the night to avoid military threats at night or early the next morning.
Some allies are not good at building nests, and the Angel King's Legion cannot be distracted to help them build camps, so their camp is arranged in the middle, surrounded by a circle of strong nests of the Angel King's Legion, which is relatively safe. .
The entire camp covers an area of about 30 to 40 square meters. The east side is close to the beach on the shore of the tributary. The other three sides are guarded by small fortresses composed of temporary simple ant mounds and city walls. A small circle passes through the outside. The complex criss-crossing passages in the middle of the temporary fortress are densely packed with entrances and exits to underground camps. These underground camps are scattered and not connected to each other.
Such a camp is enough to deal with general military threats. Even if the Destroyer attacks in large numbers or even surrounds the camp, the camp can withstand it for a while. At the same time, they will work overtime internally to build a fortress and conduct long-term defensive operations.
Moreover, the construction of the camp was not troublesome. It was completed in two hours. Those ant mounds were only mixed with ant droppings, not serious ant concrete. They collapsed after one or two heavy rains, but it only took one or two nights. of. Because construction is cheap and quick, it doesn’t hurt to throw it away the next day.
In addition to the army ants and other tribes that are not good at building nests, whether they are big-headed ants, black fire ants or ants from the stony desert humpback ant empire, they all have strong soil work capabilities, and the materials accompanying the army are enough to be in the camp in a short time. Build hundreds of small anthills and a comparable number of walls.
The only hidden danger is that this army only carries three days' worth of food with it. However, this is not an urgent problem. The fleet carrying a large amount of food and supplies is not far behind. The headwind has stopped before nightfall today and the tailwind has begun to blow. The fleet can arrive tomorrow and catch up with the army soon. , provide supplies.

Early the next morning, the coalition forces who were about to break camp and set off were attacked by tens of thousands of Destroyers. These destroyers reached the edge of the camp overnight, and soon after being discovered by the flying knights, they immediately rushed into the military camp.
How can a well-fortified camp be so easy to attack? Although the temporary fortress on the periphery seems to have a large passage extending in all directions, the Destroyer who automatically poured into it was immediately attacked by crossfire from the front, rear, left and right.
That was the firepower deployed by the field artillery in the front-line fortress. In order to save ammunition, the precious rocket launchers were not fired. The firepower of the mung bean cannon and the millet cannon was enough to suppress the Destroyer's offensive.
The Destroyers of Gutou Tie have been disrupted, but they have not retreated. A large number of ordinary Destroyers who survived the artillery fire are still braving the artillery fire to attack the nearby temporary fortress.
This is also because the artillery only uses solid bullets when shooting. The range of shotgun shells is too close. Incendiary bombs and explosive bombs are precious and prone to accidents. They are stored in temporary warehouses deep underground at night. Therefore, the killing effect of artillery is not enough to completely defeat the Destroyer.
In the end, many Destroyers braved artillery fire and rushed to the city wall. This time they were greeted by shotguns and fire bombs and slings thrown by the Archangel King's infantry. The lethality of these close-range firepower shocked the ants. After only one or two rounds of shooting, , there were not many Destroyers left who were still crawling, and the scattered Destroyers that barely climbed up the city wall were neatly killed by the defenders.
After fighting the Destroyer for many times, the warriors of the civilized ant tribe also realized that the ferocious-looking Destroyer was not invincible. When the Destroyer was unable to exert its numerical advantage, the scattered Destroyer was far weaker than a mantis or a mantis. Wasps are easy to kill. Unfortunately, in a war with the Destroyers, the Destroyers who often have the advantage in military strength are always unable to kill them all, and the forces of the civilized ant coalition are always at a disadvantage.
The battle ended and the Destroyer army was wiped out. Zhu Jue ordered the battlefield to be swept, and the victims of our army to be buried on the spot. The bodies of the destroyers were directly thrown into the river and washed away by the water. It was easy to operate and could never cause future troubles.
At around 10 a.m., Zhu Jue's coalition forces finally broke out of camp and moved forward. At noon, the fleet had caught up with the land forces with a favorable wind. Zhu Jue learned that a large number of Destroyer troops were approaching the coalition forces in front. He had no intention of fighting, so he ordered the troops to quickly board the ship and rush along the waterway. Main battlefield reinforcements.
The incoming Destroyer force was thrown into the air. It was already about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Zhu Jue's coalition forces who had boarded the ship had already left for half an hour. There were no "Radar Destroyers" among the incoming Destroyers. It's not like they were going south along the river and couldn't detect the movements of Zhu Jue's troops. They just rushed based on the previous intelligence. How could they not miss the target on the ever-changing battlefield.
By the time this group of destroyers received new instructions and continued their pursuit northward along the tributaries, they were already being pushed further and further away by the fleet moving down the wind, and could not catch up to their target at all.
Around 5 p.m., Zhu Jue's fleet had approached the southern defense line of the surrounded army of marching ants. At this time, traces of fighting can be seen everywhere along the river bank.
There were corpses and wreckage all over the ground, and even the corpse-eating destroyers had no time to clean up and take away the corpses. The entrances and exits of the shallow underground camps were dug out. They were obviously enlarged by the huge Destroyer in order to enter and strangle the defenders. There were often traces of blood remaining at the entrances. Some nests have even completely turned into pits, probably the work of the self-destructed "White Belly Destroyer".
The farther you go, the denser and fresher the battle traces become. Perhaps a day ago, or even a few hours ago, the army ant warriors were still holding on to these simple camps, and they were later killed.
The Flying Knight also reported that a large group of Destroyers were found not far ahead, fighting fiercely with the marching ant army. Zhu Jue immediately ordered the first army unit on the giant bamboo ship to land quickly, and then move forward by land and water with the fleet to attack the enemy's rear!
