In terms of seniority backup, "Mustard", the leader of the force that controls the generation of [Hunting Ground City], can be seen from his name that he is a male ant in the same group as "Xingzi", and has been personally named by the God Envoy King.
When Zhu Jue led the Divine Envoy Army to unify the south bank of the river, "Jingzi" had already served as a senior military officer in the army. His status was not comparable to that of the younger generation of heroes like "Wang Zuo". If "Xingzi" hadn't You have to die to compete with him.
Nine years ago, while "Wang Zuo" was still struggling to survive facing the Destroyer in the southwest of the kingdom, "Mustard Seed" had already led the army to participate in many head-on battles with the Destroyer. At the beginning of the evacuation operation, according to the plan, a fully replenished elite infantry regiment commanded by "Mustard" will follow "Roll" and head to the swamp area by land.
However, due to too many ants that needed to be evacuated at that time, the "Gun" unit set off four days later than planned, and the pace on the road was also slow, so they encountered the Destroyer's crazy pursuit.
According to the original plan, the main force of the Destroyers should be held back by the resolute resistance of soldiers and civilians in areas that have not yet fallen, and the evacuation should be smoother. But perhaps the radar destroyer detected the extremely large size of "Gun"'s force, so the main force of the destroyers drove straight in decisively, ignoring the small and medium-sized resistance from the rear, and went straight to catch up with the rear army of "Gun"'s force.
When the evacuation troops of "Gun" set off, there were hundreds of thousands of them. They were arranged in a vertical queue of hundreds of meters and moved among the hills at a slow speed. The pheromones on the ground were messy and dense, guiding the evacuating soldiers and civilians to slow down. Move forward slowly.
The Destroyer came very quickly, and the retreating troops were quickly dispersed. A large number of ants suffered a bloody massacre by the Destroyer, and some dispersed ants fled to some nearby nests. Some survivors lived until several years later.
"Gun" was in the front line. He only learned the information about the Destroyer's attack when the back line had completely collapsed. He hastily dispatched some troops at the rear to establish blocking positions, and successively attacked some strategic locations along the southern hilly area. Three lines of defense were deployed at the rear of the palace.
The "Mustard Seed" Legion was one of the defenders of the third line of defense. The next day, the Destroyer had already defeated the first two hastily formed lines of defense and reached him.
The defenders of this last line of defense were relatively the most abundant. They occupied a high ground on the hills and rushed to build a simple fortress group. The Destroyer did not choose to bypass this army and continue to pursue it. Perhaps the nearly 100,000 rear troops were enough to satisfy the Destroyer's appetite.
With fewer enemies and more enemies, the 40,000 Destroyers still chose to take the initiative and attack the roughly oval-shaped highland defense line from all directions at the same time. The Big-headed Ant defenders resisted heroically with their flesh and blood.
The battle lasted for two days. After the commander of the rear defense line was convinced that the army was out of danger, in order to preserve its strength, he ordered each legion to break out and go to the swamp to join the large army.
The "Mustard Seed" Corps previously served as a reserve force for the defense line. It did not participate in many battles and had a relatively complete structure. Therefore, they were entrusted with the important task of being the forward force on one of the breakout routes.
In the early morning of that day, at a time when the Destroyer was relatively inactive, the defenders of the Angel King's Army divided into three groups and suddenly charged down the mountain from the northeast, east, and southeast directions.
The "Mustard Seed" Legion rushed on the northeast route, taking the lead, and soon collided with the Destroyers who were rushing to take over. The "Mustard Seeds" focused on breaking out and commanded the troops to attack violently. The Destroyer troops were small at the beginning and they spread out to surround the mountain. They were caught off guard and were rushed over by the "Mustard Seeds" army.
However, except for the first few legions that successfully broke through, as the Destroyers from other directions arrived for reinforcements, the rest of the follow-up troops on the northeast route were blocked. The "Mustard Seed" Legion and several other legions that rushed out immediately returned to support, but there were more and more Destroyers, and the several legions that returned for reinforcements were also surrounded, and were soon overwhelmed by the rising tide of Destroyers.
"Mustard Seed" saw that he could not save his friendly troops, and his own legion was almost being dragged down by the Destroyer. He finally got timid and led his army to leave the battlefield where there was no obstruction by the enemy. He made a small circle and turned east to chase the large army.
Not long after marching, the "Mustard Seed" Corps with only half of its strength encountered another group of defeated troops who retreated from the east breakout route. Their route was completely blocked, and they suffered heavy casualties. No regiments rushed out in an organized manner, only a few remnants escaped, and it was believed that the top commander of the rear troops had also died in the formation. The defeated troops also reported that the way ahead had been blocked by groups of Destroyers, and it was obvious that half of the legion under "Mustard Seed" could not get through.
"Mustard Seed" heard this and did not dare to move forward, so he turned north and tried to take a detour, but then he hid here and there along the way. Finally, he was led by a remnant of his country's army and returned to the Big-headed Ant Kingdom along the shore of the great lake.
No anti-theft
The "Mustard Seed" troops arrived in the [Hunting Ground City] area by accident. Although it is not far from [Linshui City], the Destroyer did not garrison the destroyed [Linshui City] after destroying the big banyan tree. There is no interest in [Hunting Ground City] where there are few ant colonies, so the "Mustard Seed" unit is able to live here.
Over the past few years, the "Mustard Seed" branch also discovered the secret of how to preserve their power under the Destroyer's compound eyes. They used [Hunting Ground City] as their base to open up new lairs nearby and develop in pieces.
Although it did not expand as fast as the "Wang Zuo" branch and did not have a clear future direction, the "Jiezi" branch was able to use the collapsed Banyan tree bridge to reach the north bank of the river (the Destroyer did not often pass this bridge). We also found some nests established by the remnants of the Pavement Ant Barbarians and the remnants of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and established relatively peaceful relations and trade lines with them under the huge pressure of the Destroyer.
Therefore, the living standard of the "Guard Seed" Department is still acceptable. Compared with the period of Zhu Jue's reign, although there is a lack of honeydew and salt, at least they can eat and drink enough. The job ants are half-starved to support the expansion of territory.
Therefore, when the "Wangzuo" Division and the "Jiezi" Division came into contact, the two parties initially exchanged information based on historical kinship, but soon became strangers to each other.
The "Wang Zuo" headquarters rejected the proposal of the "Jiezi" headquarters to merge, and the "Jiezi" headquarters was unwilling to share supplies and trade with the north bank of the river. The two sides coexisted peacefully with a tacit attitude of mutual disregard. .
Back to "Wang Zuo", after confirming the whereabouts of the Divine Envoy King, his desire to contact the Divine Envoy King became stronger. However, he and his men wanted to sail on a walnut ship, but no ants had ever participated in the construction and sailing of a walnut ship... This technology can be said to have been lost within this force.
