This so-called water source is just a small amount of spring water gurgling from a gap in the rock wall. When the groundwater level is high, a small pond can be formed in front of the rock wall. In particularly dry seasons, the spring water will dry up completely.
It is already the dry season, an ordinary dry season in ordinary years, so the spring water is still flowing, and there is a puddle the size of a football under the rock wall, nourishing a small piece of land nearby. In the desolate land, the lushness here is particularly obvious. Weeds and shrubs occupy about a hundred square meters of land. Some vines even climb up the stone walls, greedily absorbing the water from the cracks in the rocks.
It looked green, but the local guide Ant told "Under the Tree" that the place where water can really be easily obtained is the puddle in front of the rock wall. Further away, the spring water has seeped into the ground. If you don't dig deeply, It can only come into contact with some moist sand, which is useless to insects.
"Under the Tree" and his troops were ambushing above and on both sides of the rock wall. All firearms troops were deployed on the top of the rock wall. It was not easy for the Destroyer to climb up, so there was no cover or warning troops left. The conspicuous guns and cannons were concealed with grass blades - this action later played a big role. usefulness. Elite melee soldiers and green infantry armor were deployed under the cliff, ready to fight at any time.
Although the rock wall is only a few meters high, it is already beyond the field of vision of ordinary ants, so the shooting direction and timing of the firearms placed on it are completely determined by the flying knights in the air. "Under the tree" the ant stayed in the ambush team on the right wing. There was lush vegetation near the hiding spot. As long as the odor and pheromones were hidden, there was no risk of being discovered.

The sky light brightened for a while, and the fly knights flew eye-catching trajectories in the sky, indicating that the Destroyers were approaching and the number was normal.
"Under the Tree" continued to wait patiently with his troops, but soon, he discovered that the flying knight above his head suddenly disappeared. Instead, there were seven or eight moth-like but much smaller flying insects flying around in the air.
Flying Destroyer! The destroyer who doesn’t know when he will come!
"Under the Tree" was the first time I saw this type of destroyer that I had never seen or even heard of in the south, but after arriving in the Northeast War Zone, all the ants talked about these gods of death in the sky.
Whether they are flying knights or ants on the ground quietly avoiding the sweep of the Destroyer, they are all afraid of this kind of flying silent, but can come to them in an instant and tear the ants apart with their large jaws and spike-like forelimbs. biology. Just like wolves in the human world are also afraid of golden withers, this sudden and unpredictable terror is far more intense than seeing a giant beast killing menacingly from a distance.
Obviously, the Flying Knights did not dare to fight the Flying Destroyer head-on, and this was not part of their mission, so they retreated on their own as usual. It is difficult for the Flying Destroyer to catch up with the agile and fast Flying Knight, but in this way, the air superiority of the ambush battlefield is controlled by the Destroyer, and "Under the Tree" also loses the ability to remotely control other ambush troops through the Flying Knight.
It's really not the right time to come. "Under the tree" can only curse like this, which doesn't help at all. At this time, he could only hide his figure tightly in the shadow of the grass and trees like the ant warriors around him. He only dared to look through the small gap at the afterimages flying up and down in the air, not daring to move at all for fear of be noticed.
"Under the tree" asked the guide Silver Ant beside him. The guide ant said that flying destroyers occasionally come here to drink water, but they rarely appear at the same time as the destroyers on the ground. It seems like we are really unlucky today.
The guide is also a nobleman, a local old silver ant male. He used to be famous for his bravery and assault like the wind when he was in the old Pavement Ant Empire. Now that he is old and has changed camps, he seems to have lost even his courage. At this time, he was timidly persuading "Shuxia" to give up the operation - he had seen with his own eyes how the Flying Destroyer captured and killed the target prey, it was very cruel! If the number of flying destroyers was not too small to cover the entire airspace, I am afraid that the guerrillas would have no room to hide and develop.
"Under the tree" remained unmoved. It was easy to retreat now. Anyway, without the orders of the flying knights, the firearms on the rock wall and the ambush troops on the opposite side would not be dispatched. He could also stand still and wait for the flying destroyers and ground destroyers to be destroyed. After all the soldiers were drunk and left, it would be enough to send a messenger to gather the troops and evacuate.
What's the loss.
But "Under the Tree" is here for the first time and wants to establish its authority through this battle. What's going on now that it's been scared away by a few flying destroyers? If the other demigod male ant "Chai Huo" wins, comparing the two sides, he, the deputy governor, will become the laughing stock of other male god ant nobles.
[In view of the general environment,
"Under the tree" ordered to continue observing. After a while, the flying destroyers found nothing unusual and landed under the cliff one after another to drink water. "Under the tree" he breathed a sigh of relief. The firearms troops on the rock wall seemed to be well hidden. The vegetation above was sparse, and it was also the place where the Flying Destroyer could most easily detect the ambush.
From the silver ant noble guide, "Under the Tree" learned that the Destroyer will leave after drinking water for a while. At present, it is obvious that the Flying Destroyer who drank the water first will leave first. The Terrain Destroyer will still take a while. In the meantime The time difference is the opportunity for an ambush.
"Under the Tree" then asked Silver Ant to serve as a messenger, who would make him familiar with the terrain and have the racial specialty of fast movement. He and the other two troops agreed on a signal to launch an attack-once they heard the sound of exploding slings, they would attack simultaneously.
Sure enough, not long after, the flying destroyer drank enough water, took off again, and flew away to the north without noticing anything unusual. The destroyer on the ground had not left yet, but could not see the situation clearly through the grass.
"Under the Tree" boldly led his melee team and the Green Infantry Assault Team to move forward slowly, trying to get as close to each other as possible. Thanks to the cover of the vegetation and the sound of water flowing, the troops under the tree were very close to the opponent. They could even see the chaotic figure in front of the small puddle under the rock wall through the gaps in the grass.
"Under the Tree" estimated that the silver ants had completed the task of delivering the order. With his pace and the fact that the Flying Destroyer was not monitoring the ground, the time should be enough. It's just a pity that the Flyfly Knights don't know where they are hiding. They haven't returned yet, and they don't know if they can catch up with this battle.
The sling had been turned several times and had to be thrown.
"Under the Tree" ordered the attack. The melee team immediately moved forward. The rustling of footsteps and the noise of contact with grass blades alerted the Destroyers by the water!
