The Divine Legion temporarily retreats underground, but the protagonist is still in the monitoring room and has not been evacuated.

The monitoring room is very safe, this is the commanding height of the entire ant mound, it is far away from the enemy, and the appearance looks unremarkable, and the enemy usually does not come to such a high place without entrances and exits.

Moreover, the monitoring exterior wall is ant concrete as thick as watermelon skin, which is very thick, and it is no less difficult to break it with the ant's jaw than to take a screwdriver to tear down the wall. The observation openings in the walls are also small enough for the Big Destroyer or the Little Destroyer to get into.

The most important reason why he does not leave is that the protagonist intends to observe the next move of the Destroyer and study their command system at the same time.

In just over a day of fighting, the Destroyer gives the protagonist the impression of being "cunning and changeable", and perhaps the underground defense line that he painstakingly designed is no longer safe? The protagonist feels compelled to see for himself how these enemies carry out their next offensive.

This obviously can't be understood by hiding deep underground.,The battle reports from the front line are second-hand information passed on by other ants after observation.,Even if it's accurate, it's distorted.,And the focus of observation is obviously different from the protagonist.。 Only what you see with your own eyes is the most accurate and what you need the most.

After the Divine Legion retreated underground, the Destroyers finally ascended to the coveted platform of the wall.

The Little Destroyers were the first to burrow through the holes in the net, followed by some of the Big Destroyers, but there were still a large number of Big Destroyers trapped in the net.

To the protagonist's surprise, the Destroyer who came in didn't attack the underground lair directly, but scurried around the platform, biting at the corpses of the defenders who didn't have time to clean up, as if he was venting his anger on these corpses.

Then, some of the petty destroyers seem to have finally regained their composure, and they have started the old routine again: carry the corpses away.

The thought that his loyal warrior is about to become the enemy's ration makes the protagonist feel a pang of compassion and more anger.

The corpse is used as food by the destroyer, which is just the protagonist's guess. What he didn't know was that the fate of these corpses would be much more tragic than being eaten.

While the Little Destroyer was busy carrying the corpse, the Big Destroyer did something that made him helpless.

I saw that these great destroyers, whether they got in or didn't, actually began to gnaw on the protective net.

The enemy apparently felt that this net was in the way, holding back most of the Great Destroyers.

The protagonist originally wanted to take advantage of the night to reclaim the second line of defense outside the ant mound, and even encrypted the protective net overnight so that the little destroyer would not be able to get in so easily. Now that the enemy has begun to wreak havoc on the protective net, it seems that the protagonist's plan will not be carried out enough.

These nets are woven from the fibers of tough hemp and rattan plants, and are very strong overall, and can be used for a long time in the wind and rain.

But this solidity is directed against nature, not by the deliberate attacks of ants. The Divine Angel King's Bronze Jaws can cut the fibers in the protective net rope little by little, and the Great Destroyer does not have the attack bonus of the Bronze Jaws, but they are more powerful and chitinous jaws are also sharp.

A Great Destroyer lies on a rope and gnaws and grinds, and it only takes half an hour to an hour to cut a rope.

The protagonist looks at the blood dripping from his heart, this protective net is a fine product that a large number of ants have spent a few days weaving, and the materials consumed for this purpose have almost exhausted all the available plants near the nest, and now it is almost winter, and it is impossible to weave a new net with the materials stored in the warehouse.

The protective netting mixed with fragile grass fibers that had been improvised in the southern swamps has been used to this day, but this meditation-woven net was destroyed in the first battle.

This kind of destruction is irreparable, and the Great Destroyers gnaw at the protective net almost in anger, leaving the protective net full of fractures, and many of the net ropes have been cut into small sections, which can no longer be repaired!

In this way, at the cost of being completely destroyed, the vital facility rope of the second line of defense has given the third line of defense valuable buffer time.

At this time, the Divine Messenger King's army was reassembling the ballistas in the underground preset battlefield, and the work was completed without enemy interference.

The protagonist, on the other hand, leaves behind the tragic fate of his subordinates' corpses and protective nets, and he carefully observes the enemy, trying to answer a question.

Previously, during the investigation of the Destroyer, the protagonist never figured out how the Destroyer could communicate.

Other ants rely on antennae, smell, and friction sounds to communicate and convey complex meanings, so in a group of ants, there will be a large number of tentacle encounters.

The Legion of the Divine Messenger is no exception, and while the Ant Commander can command a wide area with scents and sounds, more precise commands will need to rely on the Herald to communicate the tentacles to the tentacles.

Whether it's the Praetorian Guard squad around the protagonist or the captain's escort squad in the legion, they all have an important role to play, which is to act as a herald.

But among the Destroyers, there is no such exchange of tentacles.

Their antennae are more like eyes and hands, they will touch the bodies of their companions to distinguish friend from foe, they will touch obstacles in front of them to confirm their routes, and they will also work with their forelimbs to clear their bodies. But there is no communication with the tentacles of his companions, and the occasional encounter is immediately separated, just by chance.

The protagonist wonders how the Destroyers can command more precisely, even though they can rely on scents and sounds to communicate simply.

Could it be that they don't have precise command at all, and just flock to it according to instinct like primitive ants? The protagonist doesn't believe it. If the Destroyers were so primitive, they could not have been so "cunning and changeable", knowing that hybrid offensives would have known how to destroy vital defenses. The enemy's commander must be very shrewd and has an unknown way of commanding his subordinates.

The protagonist tries to find the commanders, but can't find a way.

Among other ant races, the first way to judge a commander is based on his body shape. Like big-headed ants and paving ants, the male ants are significantly different from soldier ants or worker ants, and the number is also small, like the stars holding the moon in the military array.

But the Destroyers, big and small, are almost carved out of the same mold.

The second way is to look at the frequency of antennae communication. For example, the Scythe Hunter is the most powerful warrior in command, she looks like the other warriors, but because of the command, she communicates with her companions much more often than with other warriors, and it is easy to distinguish the identity of her commander from this point.

However, when encountering Destroyers who never communicate with their tentacles, this method also fails.
