Chapter 22: Ambush (4)

In the eyes of the king of the Forward Legion of the Paving Ant Army, the Big-headed Ant Army did not take advantage of the chaos caused by the mysterious bullet rain to launch a condescending charge, which was to delay the fighter and give him a glimmer of respite and hope.

But the Legion of the Divine Envoy is waiting to carry out the next step.

The Pioneer King of the Paving Ant Army felt that he could still rely on the Legion's outer defense line to buy some time, because the steep cliffs on both sides of the ravine, as well as the obstruction of some vegetation at the bottom of the ravine, covered a group of Paving Ant Warriors close to the perimeter without suffering too many losses in the rain of pottery bullets.

As long as the troops on the periphery can hold out for a little longer, the internal squad commander can reorganize the team as much as possible and form a combat effectiveness.

However, the Divine Envoy King Legion also set its sights on this group of peripheral troops of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, which still maintained their structure and formation.

The Divine Envoy King's Legion has a follow-up plan, and at the beginning, the protagonist doesn't expect to rely on the rain of pottery bullets to completely disrupt the enemy formation.

The soldiers of the Divine Envoy King's legion, located on the cliff walls on both sides of the ravine, began to dig the earth non-stop.

The top of the cliff is mostly sandy and gravel soil, which is loose and easy to excavate. Under the gouging of countless soldiers of the Divine Envoy King's legion, large strands of sand and gravel tumbled downward, accelerating through the steep slope, carrying more dirt and gravel along the way.

The falling sand almost formed a miniature "dust storm", and although the "dust storm" was not enough to kill the well-armored paving ant warriors, the huge impact force broke the defense line of the paving ant barbarian army.

Some of the paving ant army squads that were still in formation were completely buried by the sand, and countless paving ant warriors began to struggle to dig themselves out of the dust, and the original tight defense line was of course gone.

At this time, the army of the Divine Envoy King began to charge down the steep slope.

Due to the steep slope, the warriors of the Divine Envoy King's legion almost fell to the bottom of the ravine.

However, the number of warriors in charge of the raid was small, and they were distributed on two broad fronts, and the thickness of the formation was very thin. As a result, the chaos caused by landing at the bottom of the ravine was not large, and under the restraint of the king and the kings, the warriors quickly found their own team and returned to the building.

After the assembly of the Divine Envoy King Legion, they began to divide their ways and launched an attack on the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, which was still far outnumbered by itself.

The Paving Ant Barbarian Army was almost powerless to resist, and in the rain of bullets and dust just now, the formation of the entire Forward Legion had been completely disrupted.

Some of the wounded Layer Ant Worker Ants are scurrying blindly or struggling in vain, some of the Layer Ant Worker Ants are covered with thick dust and cannot get out, some of the Layer Ant Warriors are trying to resist the enemies in front of them, and some of the Layer Ant Warriors are still at a loss.

Most of the Paving Ant Commanders were no longer able to gather the troops in their hands and lost their command ability, and even the king of the Forward Legion of the Paving Ant Army could only barely gather a few guards around him.

Even as the Striker King continued to issue orders for resolute resistance through his tentacles, and even though he and his guards were secreting a large number of scented messages representing battle orders, the entire legion was on the verge of chaos and collapse.

In this state, the Paving Ant Warriors were naturally unable to resist the attack of the Divine Envoy King Legion, which was well-organized, well-formed, and well-prepared.

The attack on this Paving Ant Advance Legion was only half of the strength of the Second Legion of the Divine Envoy King, but these fifteen squads had a clear division of labor:

Three squads blocked the entrance and exit in front of the ravine; Two squads maneuver above the cliffs on both sides of the river, eliminating the few paving ant warriors who have managed to climb out of the ravine.

The other ten squads, divided into five groups, interspersed back and forth in the Pioneer Legion of Paving Ants. They are like the sharpest daggers, constantly stabbing in and out of the enemy's formation, constantly crushing the small groups of enemy troops that are ready to assemble. Under the coercion of these daggers, the Forward Legion of the Paving Ant Army was no longer able to organize a resistance.

In the war of the ant world, the collapse of the formation means defeat, which means the loss of the ability to counterattack the enemy.

While the enemy is free to choose the target of attack under the leadership of the commander, the Paving Ant Warrior who has lost his commander only begins to try to resist in vain when he is killed by the Divine Messenger King's legion.

This kind of individual resistance could not stop the razor tactics of the Divine King's army interspersed with troops.

Not far away, there were a large number of paving ant warriors, dazed, unaware that a battle was taking place nearby.

In this way, the Divine Envoy King Legion, which seemed to have a weak army, had an overwhelming superiority in strength in all battle locations.

And the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, which has a large number of troops, only a few warriors can be put into battle at any moment.

Having lost their command, their lack of information, and their lack of well-developed eyesight, these paving ant warriors have no idea how to fight or where to fight.

The Striker King was no longer able to give any effective orders to his troops, and he and his guards became the target of the Divine Envoy King's interspersed troops because they were still well organized, and his guards were killed at great speed under the attack of a Divine Envoy King's interspersed troops.

The Striker King finally retreated, and with some loyal guards desperately covering him, he fled with the last few guards all the way in the direction he came, repeatedly ordering the paving ant warriors he encountered to cover him along the way.

The interspersed forces of the Divine King's legion did not pursue him. To be exact, any paving ant warrior who fled north along the ravines was deliberately spared.

Just like in a raging water, when there are dikes on three sides, the water will naturally gush out of the only gap.

In the collapsing vanguard corps, a large number of fleeing troops were withdrawn from the north.

And the paving ant army that remained in place was completely wiped out in the harvest of the Divine Envoy King Legion.

And not far to the north of the ravine, the same scene happened to the other three legions of the Paving Ant Army, who also collapsed and were also driven north.

Half of the last Floating Leaf King's legion escaped the pursuit, and under the deliberate drive of the main force of the First Legion of the Divine Envoy King in the rear, they fled to the sub-nest where they set off.

The other legions, the more they were in front of the marching column, the greater the losses. Because when these legions fled, they had to not only avoid the enemy in front of them, but also endure another slaughter as they passed through the positions of their allies.

The forward legion at the front, there is not one out of ten troops who escaped from the ravine, even the vanguard king was killed in the chaos, and now it is the few surviving kings who are gathering their troops.

Fortunately, once you leave the ravine, the terrain opens up on all sides.

Instead of pursuing the rout, the 1st and 2nd legions of the Divine Envoy King formed a loose line to drive the routed army of the Paving Ants northward, and killed those deserters who left the large army and wanted to hide in other directions.
