Chapter 218: The Gravel Battle (5)

The arrival of the reserves of the Sixth Army became the beginning of the collapse of the King's army.

As a new member of the Divine Envoy King Legion, although it has not been formed for a long time, it is formed according to the establishment of the traditional field legion, and the number of squads of the Divine Envoy King Legion is more than the general establishment of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, and the Sixth Legion, which has been transferred a part of its troops, has more soldiers than a complete legion of the Great King's Council.

The soldiers of the Sixth Legion entered the battlefield in a neat horizontal formation, and the Beetle Squads of the Divine Envoy King's Legion were also consciously dispersed in several squads because they wanted to surround and attack each other.

Under the elimination of each other's strengths, the Sixth Army clenched into a fist and struck the scattered front of the Great King's Conference Army, driving the defeated Great King's Conference Army to the north from south to north.

The sudden blow made the commanders of the King's army panic, although many of the worker ants and soldier ants who had lost their command were still instinctively resisting, but some of the male ants who had just entered the battlefield were retreating with their personal guards.

The retreat of a few males caused panic among more commanders in the rear, and since the communication system was no longer functional, some of the commanders of the King Council Army who were still besieging the beetles in the rear, did not know why, and they also retreated in speculation and panic.

The Beetle Legion finally regained its freedom, and Roll gathered the Beetles again, but fortunately, although the fierce battle just now resulted in hundreds of casualties, the Beetles did not lose their numbers.

The Beetle Legion recuperated and began to strike again, this time not attacking the enemy's fortified, thick lines, but instead chasing them all the way.

The field infantry accompanying the infantry and the Sixth Legion followed flanks and behind them, and after being reinforced by the Sixth Legion, the Beetle Legion no longer feared a massive enemy counterattack.

In fact, the army of the Great King was no longer able to organize a counterattack.

Both the protagonist and Roll witnessed the Beetle Legion's performance in its entirety, and while it was remarkable, the Beetle Legion also exposed its weakness of lack of stamina, and when it came to a standstill, it desperately needed infantry cover.

The number of fighters in the Beetle Legion alone is not enough to complete this task, and the Beetle Legion also needs the cover of other legions in battle.

Just as in the human world, it is necessary to pay attention to infantry coordination, infantry and artillery coordination, and air-ground coordination, any single arm has its weaknesses, and it must be coordinated by other arms in order to exert complete combat effectiveness.

Today's battle has given the protagonist and Roll a deeper understanding of how to use the Beetle Legion and how to formulate corresponding tactics.

- I'm the dividing line -

The old-fashioned king still hasn't given up.

Although he is the opponent and political enemy of the protagonist, although he is a stubborn conservative, the old-fashioned king still has its advantages, and the other meaning of stubbornness is not persistence.

The rout in the middle was happening right under his nose, and the routs on the left and right were constantly fleeing to the main position.

The whole situation was very serious for the army of the Great King's Council. The old king continued to do his duty, he contained the defeated troops, and he talked to the squad commanders who had escaped one by one, encouraging the young commanders to continue the battle.

The aggressiveness of the ant's nature was stimulated by him, and the commanders who had fled or were coerced by the rout of the army before regained their faith in battle.

The Old-fashioned King quickly contained more than thirty squads, grouped the scattered routs into the ranks of those who were dissatisfied, and once again gathered about one legion of soldiers.

This time, the old-fashioned king no longer stayed in the main formation arranged high on the vegetation, he joined the counterattack team with his personal guard team, and personally led the last troops to launch a counterattack in the middle lane.

This is the last swan song of the King's Army!

- I'm the dividing line -

The Divine Legion is sweeping the battlefield.

The whole gravel ground is covered with tens of thousands of big-headed ant carcasses, including worker ants, soldier ants, and male ants.

During their lifetimes, these corpses belonged to the Legion of the Divine Envoy King or the Great King's Council, and had the same racial scent, but also had a different nest scent. It was because of the difference in smell of less than five percent that two groups of armies fought to the death here.

Now, the once heroic warrior has become a corpse, and the corpse secretes oil and breath, and the strong smell of death, which symbolizes death, dispels the smell of life. Even the warriors who collected the corpse couldn't tell whether the corpse once belonged to the Divine Envoy King's legion or the King's Council.

The soldiers of the Divine Legion of the King hastily buried the corpses of these enemies or friends, which was regarded as a consolation for the heroic battle of both sides.

The protagonist doesn't know where the corpse of his opponent, the Old-fashioned King, is, and from a few dizzy to the captured worker ants, the protagonist learns who his opponent is.

These worker ants are not a few, after all, after a big battle, the smell of the ants is a little confused, and only five percent of the smell difference has become more similar.

After losing their commanders, some of the warriors of the King's army became overwhelmed and stopped attacking their "kindred".

The protagonist doesn't go on a killing spree, but co-opts these ants.

However, the males of the camp of the King's Council did not surrender. Since the rear road was cut off by the Fourth and Fifth Legions, these males and their guards fought until the last moment.

Even the male ants who are new to the battlefield have the pride of belonging to the main nest, and refuse the request of the messenger sent by the protagonist to surrender.

The Archaic King may have been killed in the last counterattack, and his last legion of patchwork was quickly routed in the face of the onslaught of the Beetles of the Divine Messenger King's legion and the advance of the infantry, and even the corpse was lost in an unknown corner.

But the commanders of the King's Council camp he brought out tell the protagonist about their glory and pride with their lives.

It took a little time to clean up the battlefield, and the protagonist also got a battle damage report. There were more than 300 soldiers killed or wounded, more than 10,000 enemy troops were eliminated, and 3,000 or 4,000 ants were collected, and the battle loss ratio was still considerable.

Looking up at the sun, the protagonist knows that the sun is still a few hours away. There is still plenty of time, and the unguarded main nest "Qingqiu City" has already opened its arms to him.

The protagonist personally leads the Fourth Legion to the first place, which is involved in fewer engagements, with minimal losses and plenty of physical strength. The other legions followed closely behind, marching towards the nearby "Qingqiu City".

The towering hill castle of "Qingqiu City" seems to be about to change its flag.

Not to mention the series of stories that happened in "Qingqiu City", the eyes return to the gravel battlefield.

In the loose dirt pit where the body was buried, the sand on the surface moved, and a male ant that had been buried as a corpse because he had passed out crawled out.

This is the old-fashioned king!
