Chapter 110: Frustration in the First Battle (1)
Under the guidance of the scouts, the Divine Envoy King's legion is approaching the nest of [Target A], which is besieged by mysterious ants.
Among the three legions, Rambose's 6th Legion was the most forward, the protagonist was the 4th Legion in the center, Rambofer II's 13th Legion was in charge of the break, and the 13th Legion also left half of its men and horses to garrison the [bridgehead] of the rush work.
- I'm the dividing line -
A gust of evening wind blew, and the light veil-like clouds that had originally shrouded the moon were blown away, and the unusually bright and pure moonlight covered the land without hindrance.
In a world without light pollution, this moonlight is the only source of light at night, illuminating the sky and the earth very brightly, although not as good as daytime, but it can barely see.
The battle broke out very suddenly, and if it weren't for the timely moonlight that gave the Scythe Hunter Scout Warrior's vision a certain guarantee, then the vanguard of the Divine Angel King's army would have been attacked without knowing it, and it would definitely be a tragedy.
But even with timely warning, the enemy was even more difficult to deal with than expected.
The grass on the side of the road suddenly shook, and dozens of mysterious ant warriors came out of it, they had a clear goal, and they came directly at the Divine Envoy King Legion who was searching and hurrying away.
The Scythe Warriors, who were on guard on the periphery, spotted a swarm of moving shadows, but didn't see them until the enemy was approaching, and hurriedly raised the alarm with friction.
Although the smell information is different, the warning of this friction life is the same, and in the scout team, the sickle hunter ant and the big-headed ant warrior who heard the warning stopped one after another, and immediately prepared for the battle.
Although the enemy failed to achieve a surprise attack, it came very quickly, and just as the scouts in front had just gathered the loose search formation, dozens of burly mysterious ant warriors had already killed in front of them.
This is the first time that the warriors of the Divine Envoy King have seen the true face of the mysterious ant.
What kind of ants is this? The Divine Envoy King had never seen such a huge and majestic ant, the size of a small fly with its wings removed, and several times the size of an ordinary ant.
Their carapace is dark, a good concealment color, and in the dark night it looks as if it doesn't exist when it's a little farther away, and if it weren't for the light of the carapace reflecting the moonlight and moving at high speed, the scythe ant scouts wouldn't be able to spot them.
They had a triangular head that looked funny and hideous, and the jaws were huge, and the same shiny swarthy swarthy had dense serrations glowing with cold light, and they would be seriously injured if they were bitten by a merchant.
The mysterious ants are all over the body, only the pair of compound eyes are not dark, and they may only look slightly dull in color during the day, but at night, this pair of compound eyes glows red, looking strange and bloodthirsty, just like black and white impermanence is carrying a pair of red lanterns out to harvest souls.
The moment the warriors of the Divine Envoy King saw each other clearly, the mysterious ants had already thrown themselves into the attack without the slightest hesitation, in their opinion, those who entered this land were enemies.
The Scout Force of the Divine Messenger King Legion was small in strength, with only one Hunter Scythe Ant Squad and two Big-Headed Ant Soldier Ant Squads, and while sending messengers to the rear to warn, they also formed a formation to meet the enemy.
Two squads of big-headed ants formed a dense formation, which was their usual tactic, while the scythe hunters, who were not good at forming formations, roamed around the perimeter, ready to launch a counterattack with the array infantry.
The mysterious ant warrior ignored the scythe hunter ant warrior who was jumping up and down on the side, and launched an assault on the array of the big-headed ant squad.
It's a real assault.
Unlike other ants, even if they are fighting in formation, when one side launches an assault, it will stop in front of the enemy's formation, and then the two sides enter a tug-of-war between the big jaws and the big jaws, testing and wrestling with each other.
This kind of battle is a test of the organization and resilience of both sides, and the side that can better maintain the array can often win, and the reason why the "razor tactics" of the Divine King's legion have repeatedly worked is because they are very adaptable to this way of fighting, and can quickly slaughter the opponent and make the enemy formation collapse.
But this time, the mysterious ant warriors had no idea of stopping at all, and they relied on their physical advantages, just like heavy cavalry charging head-on, and directly crashed into the formation of the big-headed ant squad with speed and quality.
The big-headed ant warrior who was hit was immediately knocked back by the crash, and then the mysterious ants followed.
Although the castration of the mysterious ants has been exhausted, the formation formed by the big-headed ant warriors has basically collapsed under the successive impacts, and the two sides have been pulled into a melee.
At this time, the huge size of the mysterious ants shows great advantages, they are full of weapons, and their big jaws can cut a big-headed ant into two pieces with a single bite; The six limbs were stepped on or swept, and the attacked big-headed ants broke their bones and tendons.
Some big-headed ant warriors tried to sneak up on the mysterious ant's butt and attack its weak anal position, but the mysterious ant was like a long eye on the back, and a stream of liquid suddenly squirted out from the tail end of the abdomen, and the big-headed ant warrior who was doused with an unknown liquid on his head and face immediately rolled on the ground in pain, and the compound eyes and antennae showed obvious signs of corrosion - these mysterious ants were able to spray acid.
Huge bodies, strange powers, jagged scythes, corrosive acid, no enemy has ever encountered in the Divine Envoy King's army in the past with such a number of deadly weapons, and the mysterious ants are simply a race born for slaughter, each one like a miniature version of the Gundam.
Previously, when the protagonist learned from the Flying Knight that the Paving Ant Barbarian Army and the Northern Expeditionary Army soldiers were often vulnerable to the mysterious ants and needed several times more troops to maintain the general's defense, he also felt that this was because the Paving Ant Barbarian Army and the Northern Crusade Army were too weak.
When he knew what happened to the forward troops, he understood the horror of the combat power of the mysterious ant, this is a kind of ant with explosive combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, even if it is lackluster in formation, but it can be completely broken by force, this is one force to ten meetings.
Before the reconnaissance of the flying knights, they could only see that the mysterious ants were like a bamboo, and they did not see clearly the weapons and tactics of the mysterious ants.
The two squads of big-headed ants who were dragged into the melee were quickly slaughtered by a similar number of mysterious ants, and even the male ant commanders of the two squads were "decapitated" by the enemy while trying to regroup.
The Scythe Ant Warrior originally didn't like to mix with the Big-Headed Ant Warrior, but after seeing that his allies were in a hurry, he rushed to the battlefield under the leadership of the captain.
However, in the face of mysterious ants, the scythe hunting ants, who are good at individual combat power and are good at one-on-one gladiatorial combat, are also vulnerable.
The vanguard of the Divine Envoy King's Legion was about to be wiped out.
