Inside,
"Shui Nao" was completely unaware of the series of subsequent reactions from his fellow tribesmen in the next nest surrounding the debate over whether to reinforce his unit.
He had no time to pay attention to the aid, because starting from the third day, the Destroyer launched a fierce attack on the nest, and quickly drove the defenders away from the nest and trapped them inside the bamboo nest.
Forget it now
The support provided by "Rhinestone" is completely undeliverable! The defenders' resistance was still very tenacious. Faced with a natural enemy like the Destroyer, all ant civilizations, races, tribes, and nests with nowhere to escape have resisted resolutely. The resistance may be short or long, but it basically cannot change the final outcome. ending.
The defenders will not know this history, but the nobles still intuitively feel that the end is coming. They guard the last dignity of the ant civilization and choose to fight to the death!
Fortunately, this strong nest can still provide some time for shelter. The only two entrances and exits to the outside world are only the size of peanuts or soybeans, and the bamboo is solid, so the destroyers cannot take advantage of them. There are few white birds in the siege team. After trying some self-destruction, the Belly Destroyer found that the power was not enough to explode the thick and tough bamboo shell - so he had no choice but to attack by force.
White-bellied Destroyers are originally a powerful weapon against such strong nests. When the cluster self-destructs, it can explode ant concrete and even break down trees.
However, these units were consumed a lot in the Destroyer's previous battles and were replenished slowly. In addition, they had to be reserved to deal with the more valuable ones now, so they were able to escape the disaster.
The fierce battle mainly revolved around the two entrances and exits. Relying on the geographical advantage, even if the Destroyers were extremely brave, they could not take advantage of their dual advantages in numbers and individual combat power. For two days, the Destroyers were blocked near the entrance and could not move even an inch. Enter.
Inside,
After "Rhinestone" learned of the Destroyer's massive attack through aerial reconnaissance, he gave up the idea of persuading other nobles to provide support, because the main force of the Destroyer had already assumed a posture of fighting on two fronts and attacking at the same time. He himself I have no time to take care of you.
On the shore of the pond, more and more materials used to build pontoons for crossing the water are collected and transported from near or far places. There are long and slender grass stems, short and thick wooden sticks, and broken wood chips. The leaves also have complete insect wing shells.
As these materials piled up more and more, they even piled up several cone-shaped hills like anthills.
The pressure on nobles such as "Rhinestone" is also increasing. The disputes among the nobles were finally suppressed. The nobles seriously read the intelligence brought back by aerial reconnaissance almost every day and discussed how to deal with it.
The simple calculations in their brains told them that once so many pontoon building materials were thrown into the water by the destroyers at the same time, it would mean that this nest would face a violent impact!
The Destroyer even continued to accumulate materials and was not in a hurry to enter the battlefield. The longer the time went by, the greater the pressure on the defenders.
Under tremendous mental pressure, even some noble generals who had remained sober gave up and joined the same clan members who drank heavily at banquets.
"rhinestone" and
"Jug" had to be distracted and comforted. Returning to the battlefield, on the night of the third day, the Destroyer, who had been attacking all night, finally rushed into the city through the wider main entrance.
This is not only because the Destroyer launched a day-and-night non-stop offensive for the first time today, catching the defenders who were used to adjusting at night, the troops on the front line had become lax, and the reserves behind them were not even ready for battle.
It was also because after two days of fierce fighting,
The most elite slave legion that "Shuinao" relies on to block the door has been disabled, and the other troops that have replaced it are much weaker in combat effectiveness.
In short, the Destroyers swarmed in. The two hundred Destroyers not only quickly cooperated inside and outside to break the back door entrance, but also used ferocious squad tactics to quickly annihilate the two thousand defenders in this bamboo section, losing the geographical advantage. The disorganized garrison was simply unable to match.
In the end, the defenders had to abandon this section of the nest and retreat to the upper and lower floors. However, in this way, the defenders were split into two isolated armies that could not communicate with each other.

"Shunao" commanded the defenders of the upper three quarters in the first quarter, blocking the only way to attack from the bottom of the fallen fourth quarter.
The defenders in the next three quarters also quickly elected the oldest male ant noble as the commander as usual, and he was also the supervisor.
The Destroyer had to face the previous problem again - how to break through the well-defended opening. The upper and lower openings are still only the size of soybeans, and can only accommodate two or three Destroyers to attack at the same time. It is still difficult to exert the Destroyer's numerical advantage.
For this reason, the radar destroyers who commanded the siege even withdrew most of their troops, leaving only three to five hundred destroyers to take turns attacking.
As the fighting continued into the fifth day, not only was the war urgent, but the problem of lack of food and even drinking water became more serious.
especially
Since the grain depots are mostly located in the lower sections of the upper three sections where "Shuinao" is located, the grain stocks on hand are almost at the bottom, and drinking water is also scarce.
"Shui Nao" was worried, but fortunately the local nobles also realized that it was a serious situation where everyone would die, and took the initiative to cooperate and share the worries.
Under the advice and command of two local nobles, some wounded soldiers who were unable to fight dragged their disabled bodies and used the only iron jaw knives in the city to carry out self-inflicted construction, finally drilling through the membrane of the previous bamboo section in time. , some bamboo juice stored in the bamboo tube is guided out, which in addition to quenching thirst, can also slightly replenish energy.
The local nobles have made great contributions, and only they know the secret of bamboo juice in the bamboo tube every summer.
The ants just act instinctively and do not understand the ingredients of these bamboo juices. It actually contains a variety of vitamins, polysaccharides and free amino acids. It can decompose a certain amount of glucose and oligosaccharides in the digestive tract, providing a small amount of calories to the ants and temporarily relieving them. The crisis situation of the defenders was revealed.
The problem of water and food has been temporarily solved.
"Shui Nao" no longer worried, and continued to worry about the war. At this moment, the war situation worsened again. The Destroyer had broken the entrance and exit with a fierce attack regardless of the cost, and completely established a foothold in the third bamboo tube in the lair.
"Shui Nao" has devoted its troops, including elite soldiers of the Hairy Forest Ant clan, to fight back in the past few days, trying to recapture the third section of the bamboo tube, but with little success, except that it did not allow the Destroyer to fully occupy this place.
"Shui Nao" did not dare to give up the third bamboo tube completely, otherwise the remaining two bamboo tubes would lack deep space, and the position of the palace where he was located would be extremely unsafe, so he could only add fuel to the fire and keep adding more weight.
Compared with the Destroyer's offensive, the current bamboo juice reserves may not be exhausted until the defenders are completely wiped out. If combined with the remaining food or even corpses, they can barely fill their stomachs. The problem of water and food is no longer so critical for the time being. !
