At dawn, the middle and lower-level commanders of the Great Wall garrison who had fought hard all night were already tortured by the non-stop fighting to the point where their brain nerves were about to break. But suddenly, they were surprised to find that the Destroyer was receding like a tide!
These destroyers did not retreat in an orderly manner after an offensive - like the contraction of the locust's hind limbs before jumping - but a comprehensive, rapid and complete retreat.
I saw countless destroyers turning around and running wildly, like disturbed moths under the light. Not only did they quickly evacuate to the camp site, but they also left further in the direction they came from without stopping. To the ant's compound eyes, this scene seemed like... An accelerated rewind of the scene when the Destroyers arrived a few days ago.
Today's Great Wall defense line is already in danger. Not only has most of the main city wall been lost, only a few watchtowers are left struggling to support themselves with limited meaning under the defenders' insistence, and even a large number of bases and nests deep in the defense line have fallen. Faced with the Destroyer's ferocious and swift offensive, many artillerymen did not even bother to take away the artillery pieces as they hurriedly fled from their positions. At this time, the civilized ant coalition was unable to regain lost ground and rescue the artillery pieces at night. The starting base of the Flying Knights was also forced to move to the nest of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom further back. The flying base located near the front line had been completely destroyed because the opening was too large for defense!
The civilized ant coalition forces are increasingly stretched thin, their firepower is getting worse and worse, and even supplies have become scarce due to the loss of several grain camps. If the war continues for another week, no, maybe it only lasts for three or four days, even the most stubborn Zhu Jue will have to order a retreat to preserve the effectiveness of the coalition forces!
But now, it was the Destroyer who had the upper hand who retreated first, and they retreated so quickly and resolutely that they did not even leave some troops to occupy the positions that were finally captured, nor did they leave any rear troops to prevent the defenders from pursuing them. The attack was simply desperate to retreat.
Why is this! ? Doubts fill the minds of the ants...
Of course, the Destroyer doesn't need to be at the rear. It may be that even if it takes advantage of the civilized ant coalition that has gone through a fierce battle, it has basically lost the ability to counterattack.
Except for Zhu Jue, the other commanders still don’t know and can’t guess why the Destroyer retreated. However, the joy of surviving the disaster made many commanders who had already decided to die on the Great Wall defense line to revel in wanton joy. For a moment, The defense line is full of dancing tentacles, filled with the pleasant "noise" made by the ants rubbing their bodies.
It was the male ants at first, and then other infected worker ants joined in. They didn’t know why but were equally excited. For a while, the entire defense line was filled with ant heads and the noise was like singing!
After a carnival, the order from Zhu Jue, the supreme commander on the Western Front, was conveyed to everyone in time. The order asked all armies to immediately repair the defenses in different regions. The task was very arduous, not only to repair the damaged city walls and open the blocked underground passages, but also to restore the independent fortifications outside the city that had been reduced to ruins within two days.
Such a heavy task has made most of the non-Ant Alliance commanders complain incessantly, and Zhu Jue even ordered some of the more powerful troops to be prepared to pursue the retreating Destroyers while making repairs.
This immediately raised a lot of questions. Although this was the first time that the civilized ant coalition had "repelled" a large-scale invading Destroyer head-on, instead of just escaping in embarrassment as in the past, Zhu Jue, as the supreme commander, gained extremely high prestige. However, the reason for the Destroyer's withdrawal remains a mystery. This "victory" still holds water in the hearts of commanders at all levels.
The commanders didn't know that the Destroyer was rushing back to eliminate the old enemy parasites first, but they knew that the Destroyer's army was still intact, and it was not something that the extremely exhausted civilized ant coalition could take the initiative to provoke. Zhu Jue's order simply told the coalition forces to die!
Zhu Jue couldn't explain to the allied commanders, and he couldn't even tell his own subordinates. Could it be that there are parasites participating in the war as our allies this time? I'm afraid that other ants will immediately think that they are crazy, or cause other unnecessary trouble.
But Zhu Jue had to send troops. Although he was the "most powerful brain" of the parasitic creature, he had no way to control the parasitic army. It was only based on past friendships and the common enemy ant, the Destroyer, that he reached an agreement with the parasitic creature this time. cooperate.
According to the cooperation requirements, the parasitic army will block the Destroyer along the coast of a certain tributary, leaving the Destroyer trapped in the narrow strip between the two tributaries. And Zhu Jue must lead his troops to attack the rear of the Destroyers, making it impossible to take care of both the head and the tail, creating conditions for the parasitic army to finally eliminate these millions of Destroyers.
After evaluation, the "brains" of the parasitic army believe that the current military strength is sufficient to achieve the goal, but Zhu Jue's troops also need to provide enough troops as promised by him to help block another tributary.
Currently, only the Divine Envoy Army under Zhu Jue will obey the command unconditionally. However, the Divine Envoy Army has insufficient strength due to hard fighting for many days. Zhu Jue still needs other allied forces to provide necessary troops to participate in the operation.
Fortunately, the vanguard of the Destroyers has just begun to cross the second tributary. Zhu Jue still has a few days to weave a reasonable set of lies to urge the civilized ant coalition to join this battle, which is crucial to the entire war. In the midst of an important three-party battle.
————
When the Destroyer quickly moved, its vanguard had already built a pontoon bridge at the second tributary.
The army commanded by "Parasite Roll" not long ago completely wiped out the Destroyers on the shore and in the water, and achieved a great victory. But in the eyes of the parasitic brains, this is just a trivial prelude to another big victory.
The armies commanded by other parasitic brains are speeding up. One of the armies has already arrived to join. The two armies can arrive within 2 days, and the remaining armies will rush to join the battle within 5 days at the latest.
The parasitic army will invest 3 million troops in this battle, plus the "1 million" army promised by Zhu Jue, "Parasite Roll" and they feel that they are sure to win.
However, the command actions that should be performed on the battlefield were still meticulously arranged. Under the command of the parasitic brains and with the assistance of aquatic parasites, the parasitic army also built several simple pontoons to cross the river using various plant materials and mucus secreted by insects.
Subsequently, a parasitic army composed of weak individuals used as bait crossed the river and camped on the shore. Another elite parasitic army crossed the river and headed north, ambush in a narrow low-lying area between the two tributaries. In the future, when a war breaks out, this army will be responsible for blocking the Destroyer's attempt to break out to the north!
A huge encircling net is slowly enveloping millions of Destroyers!
