(eļ½)
I'm the dividing line
Previously, because of the drop in temperature, not only the Divine Envoy King warriors could not go out, but the movement of troops and materials in the entire territory was seriously hindered, and even the flying knights had to suspend their routine reconnaissance.
As a result, the protagonist has not been able to keep up to date with the latest military information for several days, which is obviously the last thing the commander wants.
Today, according to the rolling report, the fly knights of [Qingqiu City] set off early in the morning to carry out the reconnaissance mission according to the usual reconnaissance route, and the results of the investigation will be transmitted to the protagonist of [Trench City] in time after being summarized in [Qingqiu City].
Since the end of the battle, the protagonist has been waiting for the flying knight to come, and he has lost the overall information for two or three days in a row, which has made him a little anxious but unable to do anything.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the protagonist's long-awaited Flying Knight arrived, and he seemed a little anxious, and when he landed on the fly mount, he hurriedly landed himself and his mount on a blade of grass, but because the speed was too fast, he was bounced up by the blade of grass and fell on his head. The Praetorian Guard next to him hurried over, untied the ant silk rope that bound his legs, and led him to the protagonist.
The Flying Knight Ant hurriedly ran to the protagonist's side, and before delivering the packet, he said "[Meat Grinder City] and [Swirl Flower City] have been lost!" ā
The protagonist was shocked, although he knew that the battle situation in the south would inevitably deteriorate since the fall of [Stone Pillar City], he still thought that [Spiral Flower City], which had gathered at least a lot of remnants, would be able to hold out for a few more days and buy time for the defense of the vital [Sitong City], but unexpectedly, in just a few days, this place had already fallen.
The protagonist carefully reads the information packet, which is the latest information held by the flying knights who are divided into multiple reconnaissances, and it can be said that the bad news is one after another, it is simply overwhelming, and Liu Daer has to hide his face and cry after reading it.
First of all, on the southern route, the Flying Knights found that the two lairs of [Meat Grinder City] and [Spiral Flower City] were already free to enter and exit, and there was no battle scene in sight, and it was obvious that they had fallen.
The vanguard of the Destroyer had even reached the outskirts of the city, but it had not yet been surrounded, and some defenders had gone out to drive out a few enemies.
The Flying Knights immediately made contact with the defenders, only to learn that the defenders were not doing well.
The reinforcements that originally supported [Sitong City] encountered a cold spring on the road, and the ten new legions that had just been reorganized from the garrison corps, namely the 91st-100th Legion, encountered a cold spring on the way, and only more than 10,000 of the 25,000 soldiers arrived at [Sitong City] alive, and the male ant commander also lost more than half.
Those fighters who have lost their commanders have been temporarily reassigned to other under-reinforced squads and legions, and they are considered to have been reorganized.
They plus the 37th Legion that has just been formed under the command of Guazi in [Sitong City], and the strength of about six legions can actually be cobbled together in [Sitong City], which is not very strong in the face of the Destroyer.
To make matters worse, there was not much food in [Sitong City], and the troops who had planned to deliver food from the main nest [Qingqiu City] also postponed their operations due to the weather.
Secondly, in the other direction of the south road, the Flying Knights found that the nest of their ally "Big-headed Ant Relic" was also attacked by the Destroyer, and when the Flying Knight flew over, the Beetle troops of the Big-headed Ant Relic were counterattacking in the wild, but they were obviously frustrated and were soon forced to retreat underground.
The Flying Knights also noticed that a small force of the Big-headed Ant Remnant Clan had broken through and was heading northeast, and after connecting with it, they confirmed that the mission of this small force was to ask for help from the Divine Envoy King's legion.
Again, the Flying Knights discovered that up to 5,000 Destroyers were gathering not far west of [Trench City], and they clearly had ambitions for the [Trench City] that they had not been able to capture.
The protagonist is shocked again, how did so many destroyers come together? Before the spring cold, after the flying knights scouted, the protagonist estimated that there were more than 10,000 destroyers on the south bank of the river, one-third in the southern battlefield, one-third on the side of [Trench City], and the rest scattered all over the place.
The Divine Envoy King's legion had just wiped out thousands of enemies in [Trench City], how could the enemy still be able to afford to gather such a large force?
Soon, the last piece of information answers the protagonist's questions.
According to the Flying Knights who were heading to the Great River, the Destroyers were crossing the river from the area of [to the West City] due to the re-stabilization of the ice, and thousands of Destroyers could be seen crossing the river in a group as far as the Flying Knights could see.
Reading all the information, the protagonist took two minutes to digest it.
This inverted spring cold came at an inopportune time, which made the whole battle situation deteriorate greatly. The end of the siege was delayed for two days, and the mobile forces were trapped in this area, unable to reinforce other areas in time.
The southern theater of operations has lost a large area due to weather, and the proportion of land occupied by the destroyers on the south bank of the Great River has increased from a quarter to a third.
And the Destroyer is still reaching the south bank from the frozen river, according to the current weather, it will take more than a week for the river to thaw, and the river is no longer a moat, but a highway for the Destroyers!
The protagonist tries to calm himself down, and now the situation is so bad, but he can't be intimidated in the first place, no matter how bad it is, it's not as disparity in power as when he used [Dongyang City] to fight against the entire Dawang Conference faction, but at that time he won the victory.
The protagonist quickly asks the Flying Knight to return to [Qingqiu City], and then gives orders to various places.
On the side of [Qingqiu City], the protagonist asks to organize two new legions and enough food to reinforce [Sitong City] in the south by tomorrow at the latest, hoping to arrive before the enemy besieges the city.
On the side of the [Sitong City], underground fortifications must be built immediately according to the model of [Trench City], and although there are no ballistas, such underground fortifications can still effectively prevent enemy attacks.
On the [Trench City] side, because there are more than 5,000 enemy troops in front of him, the protagonist decides to stay behind and defend this strategic place with his four legions.
On the side of the Big-Headed Ant Relic Clan, the protagonist can only be helpless, the territory of the entire Divine Envoy King Legion and the territory of the Big-headed Ant Relic Clan have been separated by the Destroyer, and the protagonist does not have enough troops to rescue this distant ally.
The protagonist asks a Flying Knight to explain the situation to his allies, saying that he can use the Flying Knight to save the queen and a few ants from the Big-headed Ant Relic Clan.
In the end, the protagonist also hatches a plan, a plan to completely block the Destroyer's continuous southward flow!
