Chapter 114: Missteps

"What's going on?" Everyone in the city, including Philos and Blacksteel, was amazed to see what happened to the city, more than a hundred civilians dressed as civilians came out of the cave under the protection of the soldiers, and then tinkered with the walls of the city, while Wendy stood on the outside of them and played with the sticks in her hands, as if she were playing.

"Did you arrange it?" Blacksteel asked in a low voice as he approached Philos.

"It's not." Philos shook his head, noticing that people were spreading their purple plants beneath the walls. Immediately understood the other party's intentions.

"It's a good method, it's simple and effective." Black Steel still respects this method.

"Not bad." Philos nodded, and he stared at the wall of fire in the distance, which had been sustained by the constant firing of the flamethrower troops. I don't know if this obstacle to mosquito coil making can replace its role.

But will the other side retreat? Philos wasn't really sure about the question. After all, it was the first time he had encountered such a group-sized monster enemy. It's really hard to grasp the behavior pattern of the other party.

The overall length of the wall of Mackay may be due to the construction material, so the overall length is not very long, and the part of the light front is about a few hundred meters. A team of more than 100 civilians easily completed the task of placing mosquito coils with a bundle of hands. Seeing that there were still dozens of bundles left, Wu Yun naturally wouldn't waste them, so he asked them to take them back. It was also a credit to Philos.

The small ants that make up the armor are very sensitive to the smell of mosquito coils, so the giant ants just stand far away and dare not come. The soldiers with loaded guns around him have become completely ornamental, but this is the best ending in Wu Yun's heart, and he naturally won't complain, but Wendy obviously thinks this is a bit boring, but she has no intention of running over to trouble the giant ants.

After finishing the work, everyone began to return the same way, and as soon as Wu Yun arrived at the entrance of the cave in the inner city, Renaud and Claire were already waiting for him there.

"The head of the regiment told you to go up as soon as you come back." The stout man looked happy when he saw the two people in front of the team.

Renault and Rotal had been helping the tiger out, and they were taking the patient directly to the infirmary at the Hunter's Center. There, he met Claire, who was also transporting wounded soldiers. Since the giant ants had entered the city walls before, the infirmary was full of wounded soldiers. Due to the lack of manpower, Rotal volunteered to take on the responsibility of caring for the sick, and Renaud and Claire returned to the city to report to Philos what they had seen. A brief analysis ruled out the possibility of a civilian uprising. Philos was also pleased with their reply. Finally, let them go below and call Wu Yun and the others up.

By the time Renault and the others arrived, the news of Wendy leading the civilian team to set up a defensive line had spread throughout the town. Naturally, they also knew about this great feat. Looks like Philos is going to have to make a big prize. His work is also done well, and there are eight or nine who will also touch their light, thinking of this, Renault is naturally more concerned about the affairs of the two.

Wu Yun also thought of the problem that he had to report to Philos, and thought about it carefully, but fortunately, the ending was not bad, and he thought that Philos should not embarrass him in this matter.

At this time, Philos was looking at the armored giant ants in the distance, and now they really had no intention of approaching. It seems that Wu Yun's judgment is basically correct. Mosquito coils can indeed restrain the actions of giant ants.

"Report!" A soldier ran up from below, panting, and by the look on his anxious face, he knew that things were anything but simple.

"What's wrong?" Philos also realized that something was wrong, and his tone could not hide the wariness.

"The brothers went to monitor the movements of the giant ants on the orders of the regimental commander." The soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his mood calmed down slightly. "I found that the giant ants behind the wall of fire have scattered and separated."

"Are they fleeing in the same direction?" Philos's main concern was the direction in which the giant ants had escaped.

"It's not fixed, it's all scattered." He told the truth.

"What about the rest of the sentinels?" Philos asked himself why he had put five or six people out to report now.

"I don't know much about that." The soldier shook his head, "The rest of the people should still be in their original positions." ”

"You go down first." Philos nodded, and he had a point. If the sentry didn't come back, it naturally meant that there was no big problem, and now he could only wait and see what happened.

"Captain, I'll bring them up." Renault's voice came, and Philos was still very impressed by the retired veteran.

"Thanks to your help." Fei Luo stretched out his hand to Wu Yun, Wu Yun naturally didn't want to refuse, he also reached over and shook it, he stretched out his hand again, Xiao Lori thought for a while, and didn't make any move. Philos didn't mind this, he naturally felt that the little girl had an obvious resistance to him, but with his identity, he naturally wouldn't be too demanding on such a little girl.

"How's the battle going now?" Wu Yun was very concerned about this question, if he hadn't asked this question before, because with the difference in the identities of the two, the other party wouldn't have taken care of him at all, but after he made several contributions in a row, Philos paid more and more attention to Wu Yun's opinion.

"Temporarily retreated, the giant ants behind the wall of fire have scattered and fled." Philos released the news he had just gotten.

"Scattered?" Wu Yun couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard this word.

What he did was nothing more than to build a mosquito coil protective wall, which was more than enough for defense, but there was no aggression at all, and the other party actually withdrew, and they scattered and fled? An ominous thought came to him.

"Are you sure they scattered and escaped?" Wu Yun confirmed to Philos,

"I've confirmed, it does." Philos was a little curious about Wu Yun's persistence on this issue. Still, he answered the question he had identified.

"I have the impression that if there were no external threats, they would all be in queue mode." Wu Yun recalled his encounter with the milky white ants and confirmed this again.

"What do you mean..." Philos' eyes changed, he clearly thought of something, he turned and shouted to the herald behind him, "Send a few swimming sentinels to explore the other three directions of McGee." ”

He was too innocent, and Philos laughed at his naivety, and the other party did not fully surround McGee in the first place, so he completely ignored this possibility. Wu Yun's mosquito coil protective line blocked the front. The other party will naturally attack from the direction where there is no mosquito coil, and he didn't think of such a simple thing.

"How many mosquito coils do you have there?" Philos looked back at Wu Yun, and the two of them realized at the same time the solution to the problem and the biggest difficulty.

"There's not much, and it's hard to build even half of the wall." Wu Yun told the truth.

Philos' face darkened, if it weren't for the mosquito coils, the battle would have gone back to the way it had been, but this time it would be more difficult than defending it from the front. The attack routes of the giant ants have changed from one to three. Do you really want to use that killer weapon? Philos became a little irritable.

"I'm going to figure it out. Be right back. Wu Yun could naturally think of what would happen in the near future. Now we can only do our best. He also has a trick that has been planned for a long time, but the specific difficulty of implementation is not yet known.

"Okay." Philos nodded, that was all there was to it now.
