Seeing the poisonous fog coming in, the Destroyers retreated. The defeated army on the southern flank of the chaotic defenders was caught between the approaching fog and the Destroyers who were watching eagerly not far away. They were unable to advance or retreat. They were trapped before their eyes. Desperate situation.
The pungent smell of the poisonous mist made the ants in the periphery who could only come into contact with it for the first time immediately feel the pain in their antennae and compound eyes, and instinctively wanted to avoid it. So some slaves who knew how to swim took the initiative to step into the swamp on the south side, looking for a way out among the mud and puddles. When other troops saw this, they didn't care whether they would tread water, including the God's Envoy King's legion. Enter, after all, this is the only way out at the moment.
However, even those ants that know how to use the tension of the water film to float under the crowds of crowded ant colonies cannot survive alone. Countless ants are squeezed into the water and drowned. They are trapped in the mud and cannot move. A lucky few The child survived by stepping on the "land" formed by the corpses of his companions. The casualties caused by this self-destruction were far more severe than the direct casualties caused by the previous destruction of the destroyer formation and the white mist attack.
The poisonous fog finally dissipated, and the Destroyer returned. At this time, the defenders on the middle and northern fronts had taken the opportunity to restore their organization, fighting with the Destroyers in front of them who had not retreated, and still maintained their defensive strength. However, the southern line of the defenders had been destroyed by the poisonous mist from the friendly forces. Only the twitching corpses of ants that had no time to escape were left on the ground. The Radar Destroyer immediately seized this loophole and organized a team of fast and long-footed destroyers. The attacker got in from the southern line.
The war team was weak in strength and could not stop them. They had to concentrate the few remaining white-flowered pyrethrum poison weapons and release them again. The crisis was once again alleviated, but at the cost of the tight military formation in the middle to avoid the spreading poisonous mist. And shaken.
Therefore, under the fierce charge of the Destroyer for the third time, the defenders finally collapsed, and the defense line no longer existed. The defeated troops retreated to the main nest one after another, and some panicked and fled in any direction that was not blocked by the Destroyer.
The Destroyers finally reached the main nest of the Maolin Ant Kingdom at nightfall. This target they did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to destroy. Not only did it contain a huge ant colony, but there was also something very attractive to the Radar Destroyers, something that could make them Elements that can be detected at far greater than normal detection distances.
The Destroyers launched an siege almost without stopping. The vanguard troops followed the last batch of defeated troops, allowing the outer defense line of the main nest to throw rat-proof weapons, and they were able to penetrate into the tree nest in one fell swoop. But soon, the Maolin ant army woke up. Relying on their numerical advantage and familiarity with the terrain, they cut off the retreat of the lone Destroyer. Under siege from all directions, the Destroyer could not stand and rushed out again.
】
The Destroyer has been running long distances and fighting continuously for many days. Even the almost tireless Destroyer has almost exhausted the energy in his body. Fighting at night without the supplement of sunlight is no longer able to continue the battle, and the brain power of the Radar Destroyer We also reached our limit and had no choice but to call a truce that night.
Early the next morning, the Destroyer anxiously launched another attack, but was blocked from the nest by the heavily prepared defenders of the hairy forest ants at all costs. At this time, the reinforcements forward under the command of "Water Spirit" had arrived overnight and arrived at the periphery of the battlefield. The Destroyer had to invest some troops to block yesterday's battlefield.
The Destroyer's siege and attack lasted for another day and a half. The back-up arrangements laid out by the elders of the Maulin ants for the sake of safety worked. The defenders had sufficient strength and were supplemented by a large number of worker ants and slave ants. Regardless of casualties, the investment Due to the defense and counterattack outside the nest, the Destroyer was never able to penetrate the inside of the nest.
With the arrival of the large forces under the "Water Spirit", although the Destroyer's blocking position has not yet been broken through from the front, the two groups of troops coming from the water and bypassing the swamp are almost in place, and the power of the nearby lair has also been mobilized. , a new encirclement network is forming.
The Radar Destroyer finally realized that it could not continue to build the city, otherwise there would be no place to die, so it began to leave behind the rear troops, and the main force moved to the north of the main nest of the Maulin Ant Kingdom, which is currently the encirclement network of the Maulin Ant army. If there is a gap, they must repeat their old tricks and attack the target with more sufficient troops next time after escaping from danger.
"Water Spirit" is eager to achieve success. In the past two days, he has been mobilizing his troops and generals with all his strength, hoping to completely annihilate this main force of destroyers in the main nest that has shaken the heart of his country. His previous roundabout maneuvers had the intention of outflanking him, so he did not make great efforts to break through on the frontal battlefield.
Although this is tantamount to using the safety of the main nest as a bargaining chip, if something goes wrong, he will have to follow the footsteps of "Shui Xing". However, through the transmission of flying messengers, "Water Spirit" believed that the current situation of the main nest was urgent but not critical. He needs the main nest to hold back the Destroyer. By then, under the main nest city, in front of the return of nobles at all levels, he can annihilate this army of the Destroyer, who is a serious nuisance. His prestige and status will soar, even higher than the original plan. It would be more beneficial to oneself to completely wipe out the enemy forces in [Willowbank City].
After the Destroyer tried to go north, the "Water Spirits" speeded up the deployment of troops. A group of elite soldiers from the water quickly came ashore using boats and pontoons, preparing to stop the Destroyer.
However, the painful lesson of "Water Apricot" taught "Water Essence" that it cannot hope to block the Destroyer's troops on the flat ground. That would at most delay it for a trivial amount of time, and the Destroyer would always be able to pass by.
The "Water Spirit" chose to set up defenses in a satellite nest northeast of the main nest. It blocked the Destroyer's escape route and had the nest city as its back. As long as there were enough troops, it could stop the Destroyer.
In order to prevent the Destroyer from circumnavigating the city, all the soldiers and civilians of the Nest had to be mobilized yesterday to dig out a ridge of earth on the water bank, allowing the water to pour down through the terrain, submerging all the dry land around the Nest until the water receded. , only a small piece of muddy land under the tree nest can be barely passed.
In this way, the Radar Destroyer, who was not familiar with the terrain, discovered this problem only when he got closer. Seeing water to the east and pursuers approaching from the south and west, the Destroyer army seemed to have only one way out: storming the lair blocking the way.
However, the Destroyer's movements soon exceeded the expectations of the "Water Spirit". They stopped heading north, suddenly turned around and headed south, defeated the 5 pursuing troops of the Maolin ant army in front of them, and fought back to the main nest. Under the city.
The main nest alerted again, and the "water spirit" could only send flying messengers everywhere to make the troops who were ordered to rush to the northern satellite nest change their goals.
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the Destroyer army simply made a desperate move and continued the previously failed plan to directly attack the main nest of the Hairy Forest Ant clan. And this time, the Destroyer, who has no way out, comes out with all his firepower and his entire army!
