When the information came back, Zhu Jue immediately summoned the "baboon", "lion" and "狋" to discuss. The three ants were all at a loss - although they were determined to find the artifact, they might even risk their lives, but they would not be able to save the artifact if they blindly risked their lives. , so what’s the point! ?
The thief ant commander "Madman" was also invited to discuss, but he was also at a loss. Previously, "Madman" had boasted to the Stone Desert Campoback Ants that as long as he found the sun god artifact, he would go to the Locust Flying Team to carry it back.
At that time, everyone thought that even if the Sun God artifact was lost, it would just be abandoned in the wilderness. Who would have thought that it would be lost next to a camp with many Destroyers.
With the wisdom of three or two ants, it is really difficult to plan a feasible plan instead of fighting head-on.
However, Zhu Jue had his own plans in mind. The more complicated and difficult the current situation became, the more capable he could be of the God Envoy King's army, and the more loyal allies such as the Stone Desert Archback Ant Clan could be convinced.
Therefore, after waiting for the other four ants to be confused for a long time, Zhu Jue calmly comforted the "baboon", "lion", "狋" and others, saying that the Free Ant Alliance will take full responsibility for this matter, and the Japanese artifact will be released within a few days. Bringing it back really earned me a lot of gratitude from the other party.
After returning, through the spontaneous propaganda of "baboons" and "madmen", Zhu Jue's image among the coalition forces suddenly became much taller, which also temporarily suppressed the rise of the Maolin ant clan in the civilized ant clan and became more and more popular. Provocative reputation.
It's just that it's hard to get off the mantis. If Zhu Jue fails to save the Sun God Artifact, the bubble at this time will eventually become a backlash poison!
Zhu Jue did not see how difficult this mission of rescuing the Sun God artifact was. Even though there were many enemy ants in the Destroyer camp over there, after all, it was still a few meters away from where the Sun God artifact was lost. Although the Destroyer ants came during the day, It’s not a good place to start, but at night!
The Destroyers will still be active at night, but the activity frequency is much lower than during the day. They are also closer to the camp and fixed routes marked with pheromones, and are less likely to run around blindly.
Therefore, they were led by a partial divine male ant who had inherited Zhu Jue's night vision ability. After three nights of continuous investigation, the Divine Envoy King Corps finally confirmed the feasibility of the night operation and finalized the specific time and details of the operation.
In order to prevent being detected by the Radar Destroyer, the size of the action team was strictly limited. There were only 200 worker ants and soldier ants, and the flying mounts were replaced with moths that were good at night flying.
Moths are one of the several types of insects successfully domesticated by the Ant Alliance, but they were not taken seriously before. After all, in terms of carrying capacity, flying ability and combat ability, dragonflies, locusts, bees, flies, etc. all have their own advantages, and moths are Seems extremely mediocre.
But moths also have an advantage, that is, they are very capable of flying at night. They only need weak moonlight and starlight to maintain flight without hitting obstacles. Therefore, two teams of moth knights were experimentally established within the Angel King's legion, but they were rarely used before.
This time, all the moth knights were mobilized to the new defense line. On the night of the operation, each moth carried an additional worker ant and set off carrying a large amount of ropes.
For this purpose, Zhu Jue also borrowed some ants responsible for maintaining the artifact from the Stone Desert ant clan. According to the plan, the worker ants, with the assistance of the Stone Desert ant clan, would take advantage of the opportunity at night when the Destroyer was far away to dismantle the artifact on the spot. The sun god's artifact was then flown back separately by moths, and it was expected to return to the camp before dawn.
Zhu Jue, together with "baboons", "lions", "狋" and "madman", personally saw off the action team on the newly built landing and landing platform of the Flying Knight Camp. The leader of the team was the male ant who had been observing for several nights. That name.
If it weren't for the locust mounts that fly at night and can't distinguish things, the aggressive "madman" would have no choice but to stay aggrievedly, otherwise he would not let go of this opportunity.
However, to the surprise of all the ants, by the time the action team returned, hundreds of soldiers had been lost during the operation. Most of the one hundred flying knights came back. All the ants from the Stone Desert Campoback Ant clan were also rescued, but the ones they brought with them The team's male male ants and most of the worker ants that went to the ground to perform tasks were killed on the spot... The sun god artifact was nowhere to be seen...
————
The operation went smoothly at first, and the moths reached their destination in less time than expected.
The leading male ant ordered the moths to gather in a tree and wait, lest a sudden swarm of moths fly in the night sky where there was no moth activity and alert the Destroyer. The stone desert ants and big-headed ants that participated in the dismantling of the artifact climbed down the tree and walked to their destination not far away.
A few moths carry three male ant lieutenants who also have night vision capabilities and are on alert in the direction of the Destroyer's camp. Once a Destroyer approaches, they will rush over and land in advance to warn the action team to avoid or hide.
The plan was very good, and the first half of the operation seemed to go smoothly. The Apollo artifact was gradually dismantled into many scattered parts. The most important lens had been completely removed and tied up with 32 ropes, just waiting to be hung up on the moth mount. Shipped away. Other components, made of wooden members and ropes, are also being broken down into smaller structures for easier transport. Some easily replicated crude benzene structures were left in place.
At this time, dozens of Destroyers emerged from unexpected directions and approached the Sun God Artifact.
These destroyers seemed to be rushing to the camp in the dark. The route they took had not been observed in the previous three nights, and they happened to avoid the warnings in the air and passed under the tree where the Moth Flying Knights group lived. The dense canopy of trees obscured its figure.
The Commander of the Divine Ants who led the team was in the tree. He had night vision and only verified the true identity of the Destroyer when it was already exposed in the hazy moonlight at the edge of the tree canopy. He had seen the blurry shadow before and thought it was some nocturnal creature. Insects are crawling on the ground.
The Divine Ants were immediately horrified. In two minutes, these destroyers would pass by the Sun God Artifact and find the still ignorant action team. In the action team, those rocky desert humpback ants that can control and maintain the Sun God artifact are extremely valuable. At the beginning, "Baboon", "Lion" and "Ao" took these ants with them first and evacuated them first. The important thing is The speed is still higher than the Sun God artifact itself.
So the Moth Flying Knights didn't care about being exposed, and took off in a hurry, rushing to the Sun God Artifact to try to pick up the Stone Desert Campoback Ant and other action members.
The Destroyers were not alerted by the swarm of "moths", but they did advance quickly enough to spot the action team. There, in order to cover the retreat of the rocky desert ant, the male ant leader had to personally organize the big-headed ant workers to stop the destroyers.
In the end, all the stone desert ants returned safely on moths, but the blocking force was completely wiped out... Even the male ant with Zhu Jue's bloodline died in the formation...
