After the main nest of the Ant Alliance was moved from [Xinyang City] to [Pioneer City] on the south bank of Qinghe River, which has a better location, wider hinterland, and richer resources, with the migration of most of the nobles and their dependent populations, a large number of industrial ants With the transfer of the ant colony, the total size of the ant colony of this nest will inevitably shrink.
But from the air, the surface area of this lair is even larger, which is related to the construction of its complex urban defense structure.
The entire nest city has been transformed into a huge, tight and solid fortress. From south to north, from the river bank to the land, it is protected by a series of defense facilities that are independent of each other and can support each other. There are as many as ten lines of defense!
The innermost line of defense is the core of the city defense. It is also the headquarters of "Rambo Van III" and the barracks of the general reserve team. This line of defense consists of two defensive support points, both built on the peninsula. They are the main base converted from the earliest nest of [New Yangcheng], and the logistics center built around the big white poplar tree that fixes the chain bridge connecting the south bank. center.
The main base of the nest consists of an underground part and a tall ant mound on the ground. Most of the underground structure has been abandoned due to water accumulation and seasonal flooding. The remaining underground nest chambers are mainly used as a warm camp in winter. The above-ground part is the main structure of the main base. There is a large living room inside, which can accommodate up to 200,000 defenders including the headquarters, and enough supplies for three months. All the queen ant dormitories and nurseries in [Xinyang City] are also set up here to continuously replenish troops for the attrition front line.
The main base's own ground defense mainly relies on the solid ant concrete shell. However, since there are more than thirty entrances and exits, it will be relatively passive in actual combat and will definitely evolve into chaotic street fighting. But considering that to directly threaten this place from the ground, the nine lines of defense in front must be penetrated first. If the battle reaches this stage, [Xinyang City] will obviously not be able to defend it. At this time, the biggest role of this nest base is as a command center and a new force camp, so the convenience of transportation is obviously more important than pure defense.
In terms of anti-air defense, since the Flying Destroyer appeared and participated in the war half a year ago, the main base and other defense lines have been reinforced in a targeted manner. In addition to a large number of newly built anti-aircraft platforms on the outer shell of the main base, specially manufactured six-pack Xiaomi anti-aircraft guns, as well as mung bean and peanut anti-aircraft guns loaded with shotgun shells, ballistae cannons are also used to temporarily fill the gap of anti-aircraft guns. If the air defense cannons are ignored, The spider web looks like the bridge of the Yamato from a distance.
But due to the presence of cobwebs, the entire main base is more like a mosquito net. The shell of the main base is decorated with wooden sticks extending straight into the air to look like a sea urchin. Between the thin wooden sticks, tenacious spider webs spun by more than a dozen carefully raised Darwin bark spiders line the interior of the base. The tight package is enough to shield the Flying Destroyer from diving towards the ground!
The roots of the poplar trees are also wrapped in similar ant mounds. The nest spaces inside are generally larger and used as warehouses. The outside is also protected by anti-aircraft guns and spider webs. On the huge Hengjiang Iron Cable, countless ants are braving the threat of flying destroyers that frequently appear to harass them. Under the cover of groups of flying combat flying knights, they are covering the iron cable with a layer of outer rope protection net. To protect those transport teams crossing the river without cover.
There is also an aerial rope bridge with a protective net between the nest base and the poplar tree to connect the two, and there are also tunnels underground.
Further outside, at the connection between the peninsula and the land, a wall defense system similar to the Great Wall defense line serves as the second line of defense, covering the entire peninsula. There are protruding towers on the city wall that are equipped with long-range firepower. Straw protective nets are installed in the corridors on the wall to cover the heads. There are tunnels under the city wall that connect the front and rear. There is also a trench filled with water in front of the city wall, and transportation from the ground can only be carried out by a suspension bridge.
The third line of defense is an expanded version of the second line of defense. It forms a semicircle and protects an open space of more than ten square meters outside the peninsula. There are only some towering chimneys on the ground of the open space, but below the ground, there are concentrated This nest houses all heavy industry and most of the workshops.
In order to protect these vital factories, the third line of defense included, in addition to the city walls on the ground, preset positions with powerful firepower set up at all underground entrances and exits.

The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh lines of defense are four independent bastion-type defense lines, staggered and covering each other. Each bastion is in the shape of a complex dodecagon and is densely packed with artillery and rocket launchers of various calibers. The firepower of guns, guns, and ballistas has a firepower allocation rate of 100%. Any destroyer rushing towards these bastions will be fired from at least two directions.
The eighth and ninth lines of defense are both complete city wall defense systems, but they are much longer than the second and third lines of defense. The corresponding density of towers and firepower has been reduced, and the width and depth of the outer trenches are also less.
The tenth outermost line of defense is based on the experience of Great Wall defense and guerrilla warfare. It is composed of independent cover facilities, mainly small and medium-sized bunker groups, as well as mine arrays, fire traps, ant lion traps, etc. sexual facilities.
After a whole year of violent attacks by the Destroyers, the defense system of [Xinyang City] played a huge role, making it difficult for the Destroyer army, which numbered at most 500,000 at times, to make any progress, and suffered many losses. About 200,000. There are still about 400,000 Destroyers surrounding this fortress.
The defenders also fought hard and were once reduced from 1.2 million to 900,000, but they recovered to more than 1 million with reinforcements from the rear.
Today, most of the tenth line of defense of the [Xinyang City] Fortress has been destroyed, but there are still a few small and medium-sized bunkers with favorable geographical locations that are firmly controlled by the defenders. Half of the casualties suffered during the Destroyer's siege were lost before attacking the outer strongholds and attacking the city wall of the ninth line of defense. This outer line of defense completed the tasks of buffering, containment, and auxiliary killing very well.
But as the tenth line of defense becomes increasingly dilapidated, even if the defenders often take the initiative to try to regain some key strongholds and rearrange traps, most of the ninth line of defense has now begun to face the Destroyer's front.
In several months of back and forth, some sections of the ninth line of defense were breached, but the Destroyer was still unable to completely control the city wall, and was unable to pose any threat to the eighth line of defense further behind.
Today, on the first anniversary of the battle, the Destroyers once again retreated from the ninth line of defense. The pursuing elite field soldiers of the Envoy King's Army are recovering the fallen towers one by one, and the captured city walls section by section!
