As night fell, the giant locust had not appeared for a long time, and the power of the terrifying six-barreled gun was slowly forgotten by the Radar Destroyer.
With the fierce counterattack of the civilized ant coalition forces on both wings, the Destroyer's siege troops were quickly shaken. In order to maintain the offensive, the Radar Destroyer had to gradually send more and more troops to block the mouth to cover its flanks. .
In addition to the frontline troops, due to the tight manpower, the Radar Destroyer also began to dispatch the escort troops around him, first a group of several hundred, then more and more, and finally there were not many escorts left around him.
However, the Radar Destroyer was not worried. It was in a position where the defenders' artillery could not threaten it, and there was no experience showing that those giant locusts would still attack at night. Only the occasional flies and bees flying through the sky pose any threat, but a few dozen anti-air destroyers are enough to drive them away.
So the Radar Destroyer continued to dispatch its troops with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, its situation had been discovered by the Yiqi Reconnaissance Flying Knight, who immediately reported it.
"Madman" and the giant locust knights of the thief ant clan were resting at the time. They had sent out many waves in the afternoon and were already exhausted. But after learning that there was a fighter plane that killed the Radar Destroyer and Zhu Jue's inquiry, the "madman" still forced his subordinates to get up immediately and prepare for an attack.
What makes the "madman" helpless is that the six-barreled artillery has been removed for maintenance, and the corresponding ammunition reserve is also empty. It cannot be prepared in a short time. Still unwilling to give in, he ordered his men to equip their mounts with melee weapons.
With the assistance of many ground workers, the seemingly complicated pre-war preparations were completed in just a quarter of an hour.
In the night, under the chilling and cold light of the bright full moon, 36 giant, shining silver locusts quickly streaked across the sky.
The lights on the ground were bright. It was because the civilized ant coalition had lit many fires in front and behind the city wall to help the counterattack troops who were returning to accurately find their way back. They also used the fires to block and illuminate those scattered units that came over under the cover of night. Destroyer.
The giant locust troops also followed the firelight on the ground and entered the battlefield. Their figures were well obscured by the black screen in the night sky, and could not be hidden except by the sound of flapping wings.
Several reconnaissance flying knights who were waiting in different areas contacted them one after another and provided guidance together, guiding the giant locust troops to reach the target.
The ground here is dark, and only a large circle of ants can be seen gathered together. The darkness is like a puddle of squirming mud, about the size of hundreds of Destroyers. But if you look carefully, you can't see any details clearly. If it weren't for the flying knight who has been wandering here to locate it, I'm afraid the "madman" wouldn't be able to find the target at all.
A reconnaissance flying knight dropped a fire bomb and used it as an illumination bomb. In the brief firelight, the "madman" confirmed the target. The tall and slender radar destroyer was among them, with its slender tentacles shaking constantly on its body!
"Madman" immediately led his troops to start a tilt dive, preparing to engage the enemy in close combat.
The Radar Destroyer had already sensed something bad from the dense flapping of wings in the air, but it only had a few hundred guards around it. The other troops were too far to pursue the retreating civilized ant coalition. They were rushing back after receiving the order, but they were unable to break it. Near thirst.
So the Radar Destroyer tightly surrounded itself with those guards who couldn't defend themselves against air defense, and put them on high alert! The anti-air destroyers frantically spray anti-aircraft firepower in all directions in the air! Especially when the fire bombs light up, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Destroyers will spray acid and poisonous glue at the fastest speed toward the bright spot.
But "Madman" and the others launched the attack from another direction. As the flying knights dropped more fire bombs in the sky, the Destroyer's firepower was attracted away, but "Madman" saw the target more clearly. It is true that under the circumstances, the Radar Destroyer can no longer prevent the giant locusts from landing.
With a muffled sound, the giant locust mount ridden by "Madman" plunged to the ground, causing a shock wave that knocked the surrounding Destroyers several times. If the "madman" hadn't been fixed by the safety rope, he would have been pushed further by the reaction force based on his weight.
Only then did the Destroyers become aware of the enemy attack, and the Destroyers from far and near hurriedly turned around.
Under the dim firelight, what kind of creature is reflected in their compound eyes!
This huge locust is two or three times larger than the common locusts. Under the dim light, the giant locust's body shows two colors: silvery-yellow and green-yellow. The silvery-yellow is the iron armor it wears, while the green-yellow is. The locust itself has a green carapace.
This locust's body is covered with iron thorns, which are appendages on its helmet, back armor, breastplate, and greaves. They look sharp and highly wound. The head of the locust is almost completely covered by the helmet, with only the compound eyes, antennae and mouthparts leaking out.
In the upper middle of the compound eye, half an ant seems to have grown out of thin air, lying there with its tentacles facing the base of the locust's antennae. This was the "Madman". His lower body was protected in the cockpit under the helmet and fixed with a safety belt, while his upper body was stretched out for command. If there is danger, he can untie the safety rope and escape quickly with just a slight pull.
This giant locust is tall, powerful, and ferocious in appearance, as if it is oppressive like an ancient giant insect emanating from within.
The Destroyers who reacted immediately rushed towards the giant locusts. They were not afraid of facing powerful enemies. It was not like they had never encountered opponents wearing thick armor or larger opponents.
Under the close control of the Radar Destroyer, these Destroyers tried to avoid the locust's ferocious mouthparts that constantly chewed the air, and specifically launched attacks from the sides and rear, attacking the fragile gaps that could not be covered by the armor.
However, the giant locust's melee attack does not rely on its mouthparts. Under the direct control of "Madman", it kicked its hind legs violently and kicked seven or eight rushing Destroyers into the air, and the spikes hit them The body was pierced and then exited smoothly. When the destroyers landed, there were one or two holes in their bodies. Those who were already dead could no longer die.
At the same time, the giant locust had already escaped the siege and jumped to the Radar Destroyer. Under the panic command of the Radar Destroyer, all the Destroyers turned around and ran towards them regardless. However, more Giant Locusts have descended, kicking and ramming to clear out nearby Destroyers.
No matter how much the Radar Destroyer ordered, the hundreds of guards under its command could not break through the interception of many giant locusts and rush to escort it. It could only watch the giant locusts with half an ant on their heads approaching quickly.
The slender body of the Radar Destroyer slowly turned around and tried to escape, but the giant locust had already jumped in front of it again.
"First Evolution"
The last thing it saw before it was alive was a pair of strong hind legs covered with spikes, growing bigger and bigger in front of its eyes at lightning speed!
