Under the weak firelight, I saw the dark shadows of the Destroyer, as if they were ghosts from the eighteenth level of hell, extremely hideous and terrifying.
The big worker ant at the head had never been on the battlefield before, but she had already heard about the cruelty of the destroyer. Her IQ, which was higher than that of ordinary ants, made her feel extra fear in addition to her instincts. She had never been frightened like this before, and her movements There is also some sluggishness.
Fortunately, the operation of the new weapon is very simple. The big worker ant still punctured the small ignition capsule at the last moment, and the liquid inside immediately spontaneously ignited and ignited the fuse. The fuse burned very quickly, and small sparks immediately penetrated into the mysterious weapon.
This weapon is about the size of a soybean and is a thick, curved object. The side that curves inward is facing the direction in which the Destroyer is coming.
Seeing the weapon ignited, the big worker ant immediately fell to the ground and disappeared in an instant - it turned out that there was a shallow trench that had just been dug underground, which would accommodate the big worker ant's body. At the same time, the big worker ant also held its tentacles in its mouth.
The other two big worker ants behind them also followed the same method and hid in the trench while holding their tentacles. The other warriors of the God's Envoy King were hiding further away, with a hastily piled low wall in front of them to cover them, and they all caught them one by one. antenna.
No need to wonder why these ants are holding their tentacles, because the huge explosion and strong fire will soon explain everything. With such powerful explosion sound waves repeatedly vibrating in a narrow room, if the antennae are not protected, I am afraid these ants will lose most of their hearing and touch in the future...
The unprepared Destroyers had already reached the front of the new weapon. They were attracted by the iron shell and were trying to pierce the unknown object with their powerful jaws. But in an instant, it was as if the earth was shattering. The dense formation of Destroyers seemed to have been hit by an invisible wall. They all fell down almost instantly, falling apart one by one, leaving almost no intact corpses.
This new weapon showed terrifying power in the narrow underground passage.
It turns out that this is a weapon similar to an anti-infantry directional mine. The shell is made of iron, and many grooves are cast on the side facing the enemy, which is enough to ensure that it will break into hundreds of fragments when it explodes, and each fragment is enough Cut one of the sturdiest ants in half.
Although the effect is similar to artillery using shotguns for close range shooting, its firing procedure is much simpler than the cumbersome preparation of artillery. An ant can operate it, and the directional mine has a huge charge, which also makes it more powerful than shotguns. One chip.
In fact, the task force of the Divine Envoy Army prepared three directional mines just in case, but the last two were not used at all. The first directional mine had already wiped out all these destroyers.
When the warriors of the God Envoy King, who had been shaken to pieces by the aftermath of the violent explosion, came to their senses and began to clean up the battlefield, they discovered that they no longer needed to hit the target as before. In the past, even when they were shot at close range by shotgun shells, their vitality was extremely high. Among the tenacious destroyers, there are also those who are injured but do not die. The injured destroyers are more ferocious. Now, all the Destroyers are dead, and not even a whole body is left.
As the scouts continued to grope forward in a daze, they were surprised to find that there were several Destroyer corpses in the passage not far away. These corpses were intact, except that the compound eyes were ulcerated, and the spiracles, mouthparts and eye sockets were leaking. The blood and tissue fluid have not dried up yet.
The ants were simple-minded and didn't think too much. They continued to move around the dead bodies.
If Zhu Jue were here, he would definitely understand that these destroyers were not killed by fragments, but by the shock wave of the explosion. Due to the huge charge of directional mines, the shock wave generated by the explosion is not trivial. The curved structure of directional mines causes most of the shock waves to move forward, and only a small amount of rebounding shock waves will harm the launcher. It is this aftermath that has been proven in experiments that the antennae must be protected, otherwise irreversible damage will occur. As for the Destroyer bombarded by a frontal shock wave, in such a narrow environment, the shock wave oscillates back and forth, no less than a storm, enough to travel a long distance along the channel and still be lethal.
Relying on the power of directional mines, the task force of the God's Envoy King Corps quickly regained the position behind the main passage. In fact, the Destroyers far away from this passage were affected by the shock wave. After the incoming target was not found, many Destroyers were evacuated by the radar Destroyers for unknown reasons, so the God's King Legion Task Force did not What kind of battle will we encounter again?
Similar battles were staged in many places in the underground lairs of [Black Fire City]. The black fire ants deep in the lair felt the aftermath of the explosion with fear, while their male ant kings and kings were thankful that such weapons came from the alliance. military.

After consuming 7 directional mines, the most violent wave of the Destroyer's offensive today was thwarted. Especially in the afternoon, thousands of densely packed Destroyers were organized to launch a general attack in the main channel, but they were hit by 3 directional mines that exploded at the same time. The losses were heavy, and even the Destroyer, who had always been fearless, took the initiative to flee despite the orders of the Radar Destroyer.
Seeing the great power of the reinforcements, King "Hei Tan" finally calmed down and continued to stay in the city, without any thoughts of escaping. But he didn't know that this batch of reinforcements only brought 10 directional mines, and now there are only 3 left.
No way, these directional mines are quite heavy and require 6 strong ants to carry them together to barely keep up with the large army. In order to ensure that these directional mines could keep up with the team, the reinforcements abandoned the cannons and sent ants to take turns carrying them. Once an ant was exhausted, the ants were immediately replaced, resulting in a large number of ants falling behind.
Although the power of the directional mine is worth the huge cost before using it, its high cost and complicated process have resulted in the current inventory of less than a hundred of this new weapon that has just been mass-produced in the entire Ant Alliance.
Even after Zhu Jue calculated his account, he felt that it would be more cost-effective to spend a lot of iron and explosives to produce such a one-time weapon than to produce more artillery and shells. However, considering the different positioning of the weapons, Zhu Jue gritted his teeth and issued the production order for 500 directional mines.

The Destroyer who attacked [Black Fire City] was isolated and helpless. After a month-long siege, they also exhausted their energy. In the following days, even if the only remaining directional mines no longer dared to be used easily, the Destroyer's offensive was still obvious. One wave is not as good as the other.
After the second batch of reinforcements from the Angel King Corps arrived, they brought 20 directional mines and 60 artillery pieces. The civilized ant coalition had a huge advantage in firepower, so they began to launch a counterattack!
