Chapter 226: Final Preparations

After the Divine Envoy King's Legion took the initiative to shrink and gave up the territory north of [Qingqiu City], the effective control area of the Divine Envoy King's Legion has been narrowed to an irregular trapezoidal area that extends to [Qingqiu City] in the north, the southern hills in the south, the Great Lake in the east, the [Trench City] in the west, and the [New Spiral Flower City] in the southwest.

In addition, there is a lonely territory and some garrisons in the swampy area.

This land area is only one-third of the heyday of the Divine Envoy King's army's original possession of the south bank of the Great River, and the ant-mouth has been reduced by nearly half in successive wars and falls.

Truth be told, after the Great River Defense Line collapses along with the Great Banyan Tree, the protagonist's confidence also seems to crumble with the huge "World Tree"-like banyan tree.

It's like the end of the world after the "twilight of the gods."

Although he still maintained the majesty and determination of the Divine Envoy King in front of his subordinate male ants, he encouraged his subordinates to actively prepare for war and tide over the difficulties. But he himself didn't know how to win.

The Destroyers are endless, and no one knows how many they are, so it's impossible to estimate their strength. Moreover, new classes are constantly emerging among the Destroyers, and the huge threat is too great for the Divine Envoy King warriors to deal with.

The strongest line of defense of the Great River no longer exists, and the protagonist does not know how to withstand the onslaught of the mighty destroyers.

Even if [Qingqiu City] is completely converted into a fortress, will it be able to withstand the attack of the Destroyer? Even if it resists, how long can it last?

This is the last line of defense, but the protagonist doesn't even know how many enemies he needs to face or how long he needs to hold on.

Even if they can kill and injure a large number of enemy troops here, can the Divine Envoy King's legion counterattack? The Destroyers have completely occupied the north bank of the Great River, and also have a large rear such as the northern mountains on the north bank of the Great River, and their overall war potential is estimated to be much larger than that of the Divine Envoy King Legion that has now cowered in a corner.

But if even [Qingqiu City] is lost, where will the Divine Envoy King legion go?

From [Qingqiu Castle] to the south, until [Dongyang Castle], there are no strong enough fortresses and steep terrain along the way.

Once [Dongyang City] and [Malachite City] also fall, or even fall into a fierce battle without the need to fall, then the copper weapons and ballistae that the Divine Envoy King's legion relies on will be cut off, which will be a great weakening for the Divine Envoy King's Legion, which is already in trouble and difficult to match the fierce enemy.

At that moment, even if the protagonist can escape with the ants into the southern hills and mountains and even swampy areas to resist, the copper smelting blast furnace in [Dongyang City] and the copper mine in [Malachite City] can't be moved.

Having lost his territory, lost his weapons, and lost his industrial production capacity, how long can the protagonist resist with the remnants of the defeated army?

The more the protagonist thinks about it, the more depressed he becomes, feeling that the god of crossing has abandoned him, and there has never been an unlucky traveler who has crossed into ants, and there has never been an unlucky traveler who can't even beat another group of ants.

But I really can't defeat the Destroyer now! This is a fact that is difficult to accept and has to face.

Although the protagonist is still on the front line, supervising his subordinates to repair the defense around the clock, he is also strong on his own, no ant can understand his inner fear, and he has no one to confide in.

In the ant world, the defeat of the race means the death of the individual, and if the protagonist wants to live, he must ensure that the God's army of kings survives, and even if he is afraid, he has no way back.

Survive, this idea that supported the protagonist through the pessimistic period that he had just passed through the adult ant, and at this moment supported him again so that he did not sink into depression.

Fortunately, the remnants of the defenders in the north fought for the Divine Envoy King's legion for a few days, and until April 20, the Destroyers did not cross the [Grain Castle] to the south.

Taking advantage of this time, the huge [Qingqiu City] is undergoing a painful transformation, transforming from a unique core lair, political center, and economic center of the entire territory into a frontier fortress.

A large number of male eggs, young males, and male ant pupae have been moved to [Dongyang City], which will be the new "capital", the "capital" that is safe for the time being.

In addition to the fire bomb slingling workshop and rope workshop, most of the workshops that have nothing to do with the military industry, including: pottery workshops, fermentation workshops, and textile workshops have also migrated away, and these things are no longer needed in the [Qingqiu City], which is about to become a battlefield.

The nearby secondary nest, which has begun to relocate, has been delivering a steady stream of patchwork of food, mostly jerky made from mealworms and maggots that have been killed before they grow up.

The farms in [Qingqiu City] are still operating normally, and once the place is besieged and blocked, these farms are the most important source of food.

In addition to the necessary ant queen and worker ants, most of the ant population was also evacuated to the south, and those who remained in [Qingqiu City] were all combatable soldiers or auxiliary forces, and the queen ant left some troops mainly to replenish the battle damage in time, although it takes a month for an ant to break from egg to pupation, but it can be replenished.

In order to consolidate the defense of [Qingqiu City], the protagonist has expanded his army here, in addition to the previous 20 legions, he has temporarily formed 20 new legions, plus Lan Bofei's troops are overcoming difficulties and rushing to come, there will be 160,000 troops in [Qingqiu City], which will be the last main force of the Divine Messenger King Legion.

Even after losing a large number of worker ants and food sources, [Qingqiu City] could not support so many defenders for a long time by relying on food alone. But the protagonist is no longer worried, once the battle starts, there will soon be a large number of attrition, there will be fewer mouths to eat, and corpses can also be used as new military rations, right? One decrease and one increase, food is not a big problem.

The entire [Qingqiu Castle] is also undergoing the largest renovation in history, not only the underground structure has changed greatly, but it has been rebuilt and constructed in full accordance with the needs of underground street fighting, and a number of defensive positions have been set up. Even the surface of the earth is unrecognizable.

The large "Holy Passage", which had previously been converted into one of the entrances and exits of the Flying Knights, was also partially blocked, and if necessary, all of them were to be blocked to prevent the Destroyer from entering.

On the tall anthill hills, branches and tall rocks planted in the earth are used to build a continuous protective net to prevent the destroyer from attacking the nest directly.

Ballista positions have been erected at many commanding heights on the hill of Ant Mound, which can shoot at the besieging enemy from all sides without dead ends.

A wide trench was dug around the perimeter of the anthill, the result of tens of thousands of ants for several days on end. A wall was also piled up inside the moat.

[Dongyang City] has already shipped all the ballistas, spare parts, and all the ammunition, and a new ballista workshop and weapon workshop have also been built in [Qingqiu City].

There are now as many as 32 ballistas in the entire lair, which is an unprecedented density of firepower, but not much for the area to be defended.
