But not long after, the one-sided situation on the battlefield was broken.
A few trembling fly knights flying from the southeast brought news that shocked "Centiper Python III" - about 20,000 flying destroyers were arriving at full speed to join the battle!
Such a large-scale flying destroyer could not have appeared suddenly. "Centiper Python III" was shocked and hurriedly learned the details. He was so confused that he needed to respond immediately.
It turned out that this large group of flying destroyers was the group that was attracted by the second wave. The original plan was that they should be introduced into the ambush position and be killed in large numbers under the coordination of air and ground. At the same time, it would not affect the third wave of troops. The carnage of the Ground Destroyer.
The plan was perfect. The timing of the three waves of attacking troops was carefully calculated by the staff of the master ants and the big worker ants in the main nest to ensure that the three waves of troops would not affect each other's missions and that the attracted flying destroyers could completely escape from the radar destroyers. Contact range without looking back.
But what was self-defeating was that in order to gain greater achievements, "Centiper Python III" tried to increase the bombing time to cause greater damage to the destroyers on the ground. The third wave of troops he personally led rushed all the way, and finally It started about a quarter of an hour earlier than planned.
He did not realize that it was this quarter of an hour, which seemed insignificant to ants who were not good at precise timing, that when the main battlefield started, the second wave of flying destroyers had not completely flown away from the nearest radar destroyer. Contact range.
After the battle started, the flying destroyers quickly received vague instructions from the distant radar destroyers. Then these flying destroyers paused their pursuit. After confirming the order, through close coordination with each other, The entire army gave up chasing the bait and collectively turned around and returned to the main battlefield.
The veterans who served as decoys noticed the abnormality for the first time, and then some veterans woke up. They took the lead and took the initiative to kill the dense flying destroyers. In this fatal way, they tried to contain the flying destroyers' return and save the main force. The main force on the battlefield.
The second wave of Flying Knight troops were forced to lure the enemy into a violent attack. Without any hesitation, without reinforcements or cooperation, they resolutely killed the Flying Destroyer, which was several times their size, using the few weapons they carried and their own bodies. and mounts, fighting against the terrifying flying destroyers.
The Flying Destroyer did stop its wings to come back, and the two sides fought together. The corpses fell as densely as raindrops in the rainy season.
The command system of these flying knights who lured the enemy was also unsound, because their main task was to lure them. They only needed to lead the Destroyers into the ambush site. The subsequent air-ground cooperation relied more on small team tactics, and there was no need for centralized command. But now in emergencies, the shortcomings of such a lack of command are fully exposed.
Although none of the flying knights flinched and took the initiative to take on tasks that they should not have undertaken. They indeed held back the Destroyer for a long time with huge sacrifices, but they did not send a messenger to alert the main battlefield immediately.
After the battle continued for a while, seeing the losses increasing and being unable to contain the enemy any longer, a few veterans of the cavalry reacted and left the battlefield with injuries to report the news.
When "Centiper Python III" received their warning, it was too late to react. It didn't take long for a large group of flying destroyers to escape from the entanglement and quickly entered the aerial battlefield from the southeast.
The first to bear the brunt was a Locust dive bombing team that had dropped all their bombs and was preparing to return to the air force base to rest and resupply. When the dense flying knights came like a dark cloud, and when they got closer, the team commander realized that it was not a cloud, but an enemy force!
Although the Locust team, which lacked close combat methods, wisely did not confront them head-on, but immediately scattered and fled. However, among the seemingly endless clouds of flying destroyers at the border, only those locusts that turned around were temporarily spared. Locusts that were evading left or right, up or down were quickly covered by the "black cloud", and were quickly killed and dismembered in the air, with almost no flesh droplets falling to the ground...
The lethality of the swarm of flying destroyers is terrifying!
The sudden blow also caused the command of "Centiper Python III" to fail. His main aerial formation was located near the south, and he had to move to take shelter under the threat. The messenger Flying Knights he dispatched urgently before the transfer were either destroyed by the flying destroyer. To hunt and kill, or you can only take a detour but find that the target of the order can no longer be found.
Since there was no plan to deal with such emergencies, when the panic began to spread from the southeast, troops of different sizes and sizes from different services and arms received the news and made completely different and chaotic reactions.
Some bombing units that lacked close-combat capabilities were like the previous Locust squads. They tried to avoid by taking shortcuts or raising or lowering the ground. Many of them failed and died. Only those units that turned to the west to avoid the attack were spared.
The duty of the combat flying knights is to take the initiative to meet the enemy to cover the retreat and adjustment of other troops. However, these combat flying knights had previously been performing dispersed attack targets or air surveillance missions, and they basically operated in small teams. When they were fighting separately, in front of the dense flying destroyers, their bravery was no better than a cow in the sea.
Groups of flying destroyers crashed head-on into the black clouds of aerial destroyers, and then lost their traces. The occasional glimmer of fire was the last echo of their fate. The corpses or wounded of some flying destroyers emerged from the clouds. The lower end fell to the ground, showing that such a suicidal attack was not ineffective. But if the war continues with this exchange ratio, I'm afraid the "Mobile Air Force" will be cancelled!
"Centiper Python III" finally arrived in a relatively safe airspace, but it was only relatively safe. Some sporadic flying destroyers were still around. He relied on the cover of the bravest small group of Golden Ring Wasp Flying Knights to survive.
"Centiper Python III" noticed a lone dragonfly at the lower left rear. It was teetering on the edge, with four Flying Destroyers lying on its back and biting it fiercely. There were three Flying Destroyers beside it, looking at it eagerly. Even though all the ants on their bodies have been killed, because they are deeply tainted with the smell of ants, the Flying Destroyers don't care at all that they are stinging a dragonfly that they usually have no interest in, and their bites are extremely vicious.
It wasn't until the dragonfly's head was cut off that the Flying Destroyers jumped up happily, letting the lifeless head and corpse fall separately, farther and farther apart, as if the two had never been one...
