After receiving the news, "Rambo Flying III" was instantly shocked and furious. He knew that without local supply support, relying solely on his own production capacity and the size of the colony, he would soon fall into bombardment under the Destroyer's manic offensive. With no food and no troops, the defenders of this fortified city will collapse without a fight.

So he urgently ordered one of his lieutenants, the pavement ant noble "Floating Leaf III" who replaced him to take charge of the ant mound, to organize a counterattack. They must recapture the rope bridge, repair the protective net, and restore the communication line. As for whether it can regain the lost ground, and what to do if the flying destroyer can follow the same method to destroy and snatch the rope bridge after regaining it, "Rambo Flying III" has no time to think about it in detail, and just wants to get over the difficulties at hand first.

"Floating Leaf III" immediately and faithfully organized the reserves of the two legions on hand to attack according to the order. He had very few troops on hand. The only two legions were mixed legions of pavement ants and other ant tribes. No matter in terms of training, equipment or combat effectiveness, they are not as elite as the field legion composed of big-headed ant soldiers. At best, they are only a third-rate force within the Angel King's legion.

However, the pavement ant warriors still strictly enforced Jiangling. Their dark, thin but tough bodies pushed forward along the narrow rope bridge, trying to drive out the flying destroyers that had gotten into the protective net. But within the narrow protective net, the warriors of the Angel King could only face the sharp jaws of the flying destroyers and were no match at all, not even the big-headed ant soldiers or the marching ant warriors, let alone the pavement ants. They did not dare to use their firearms at will, fearing that they would burn down the few remaining protective nets. However, the Flying Destroyers had no scruples. Not only did they rush through the protective nets as if they were in an ant-free environment, but they also deliberately destroyed the protective nets. The hole continues to grow.

The two legions were defeated quickly. Seeing that "Floating Leaves III" could not complete the task, he hurriedly reported to "Rambo Flying III". But "Rambo Flying III" originally rejected this adjutant who was not even a big-headed ant. Otherwise, he would not have left "Floating Leaf III" far away when other adjutants were sitting on the front line to earn military merits. As for the hitable rear, this time it was a combination of circumstances that allowed "Floating Leaf III" to get the opportunity to fight this time. "Rambo Fei III" was already furious. Seeing that "Floating Leaf III" could not complete the task, he became even more displeased and angry, so he only asked the messenger to convey a cold military order:

The rope bridge communication line must be maintained at all costs and supplies and soldiers must be delivered on time, otherwise "Floating Leaf III" will be dealt with under the most severe military law.

"Rambo Fly III", as the supreme commander and the commander-in-chief of the front army, also has the power to deal with the adjutants. Of course, there are good reasons. He was threatening "Floating Leaf III" with death. Although it was not entirely out of personal anger, there was also an element of extreme anger. But the problem has already been placed in front of "Floating Leaf III", but what surprised "Rambo Fei III" was that a batch of supplies from the south bank were delivered to him on time that night, alleviating the urgent need on the battlefield.

"Rambo Flying III" was worried about the crumbling of the bastion defense line at that time. He only thought that "Floating Leaf III" had regained the rope bridge at all costs and restored traffic, so he paid no attention to it and just praised "Floating Leaf III". "Ye III", and once again ordered him to maintain the rope bridge traffic line without any failure.

At this time, the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield has evolved into an even more unfavorable situation for the defenders. It seems that they were inspired by the bombing of the rope bridge yesterday. Today, the Flying Destroyer no longer struggled with the rope bridge. Instead, it carried the White-bellied Destroyer and dropped it directly to the front line of the bastion, blowing up the defenders who were caught off guard. Some ammunition stored in the open air was detonated, causing varying degrees of damage to the defenses of the three bastions that were still holding on.

Fortunately, the ammunition reserves at each position of the defenders were insufficient, so the losses caused by the explosions were barely within the acceptable range. The obedient generals of the God's Envoy Army also quickly reduced the ammunition reserves next to the artillery positions, and increased the ammunition reserves by increasing the ammunition reserves. Send transport teams to replenish the consumption of each artillery unit.

The Destroyer on the ground also took the opportunity to attack violently, but the defenders were united. After the fall of Bastion No. 7, the Destroyer launched a wave of powerful offensives but failed. Instead, the "Rambo Flying III" who tasted the sweetness frequently Tank troops were dispatched to launch a counterattack, and the Destroyer's repeated offensives that were determined to win were defused. Of course, such counterattacks also lost a lot of strong soldiers and could not be continued. Even the tank corps itself lost as much as one-third of its manpower and was severely weakened.

Although "Rambo Flying III" has such a large nest, it is also facing the problem of insufficient ant hands. Currently, except for the ant hands in key departments such as military workshops, he cannot deploy other strong men. These strong men not only have to go to the front line to serve as line-filling troops to participate in the battle, but also bear heavy transportation, emergency repair, and logistics tasks. The accumulated casualty data has been quite heavy. Even the old and weak worker ants were basically exhausted on purpose when they were sent out to counterattack a few days ago to save resources in the city. Now, even the ant eggs just produced in the queen's palace will be smeared with pheromones by the recruiting officers sent by each legion to mark their ownership, so as to replenish the gaps that each legion will never be able to fill in the future.

So "Rambo Flying III" urgently asked for help from the mainland again. This time he not only needed supplies, but also young and strong ant colonies. As for elite soldiers and veterans, he did not expect support. After all, in addition to the main nest, the mainland on the south bank of the Qinghe River currently has Except for a few elite legions, other lairs basically relied on local troops and militia to support the situation, and all the troops capable of fighting were sent to various front lines.

But throughout the whole day of the next day, the reinforcements and supplies that "Rambo Flying III" expected were not delivered. He angrily sent flying knights to venture into the air for reconnaissance, but the information package sent back only contained the broken rope bridge and the occupation of it.

"Rambo Fei III" thought that "Floating Leaf III" had lost the rope bridge again, and was surprised that he dared to hide military information and not report it. In anger, he sent a messenger to ask "Floating Leaf III" to come to him immediately to accept it. Questioning and Punishment.

However, "Floating Leaf III" declined his order, saying that he had been protecting the communication line in accordance with the commander's order and could not escape. He also said that the reinforcements and supplies needed by "Rambo Flying III" had been properly contacted and would be delivered tonight. Da.

"Rambo Fei III" was now dealing with a new round of violent attacks launched by the Destroyer. When he heard "Floating Leaf III" was so confident, he put the matter behind him. Not long after the Destroyer retreated at night, reinforcements and supplies arrived. Only then did "Rambo Fly III" become convinced of "Floating Leaf III"!
