Chapter 300: Retreat

It's over the holidays, I'm back!

Why do so many friends want me to play a little JJ live ( ̄へ ̄) I have always closed the publication on non-working days!

- I'm the dividing line -

The three squads of the Divine Envoy King's legion retreated to the tall cobblestones in time, earning a little respite.

If it is the army of the former big-headed ant kingdom, it will generally not take the initiative to transfer, and the common male ant commander seems to be only used to giving two kinds of orders: attack and retreat, especially the former.

Even in a serious situation where the enemy is outnumbered, the male ant commander is ashamed to retreat, and such a thing as shifting positions will not happen. In the eyes of the male ants, moving their positions without being defeated is a humiliating active retreat.

Fortunately, the commanders of the Divine Envoy King's legion have been accustomed to dealing with the battle situation flexibly, and will not put their troops in danger because of the slightest sense of victory and defeat of the male ants.

Only one side of this pebble is relatively gentle, the others are very steep, and the smooth surface washed by the perennial water flow makes it difficult for ants to climb on the steep surface, and if they have to be distracted from the battle, it is very easy to fall down.

The warriors of the Divine Angel King had a favorable position, and finally held their ground under the onslaught of many enemies.

The Queen's Legacy faction army continued to climb the cobblestones from all sides to launch an uninterrupted invasion while assembling together, especially on the gentle side.

Although the Divine Envoy King only needs to concentrate on the gentle side of the cobblestones, the other three sides only need to be dealt with simply.

However, the disparity in the number of soldiers is still weighing heavily on this army, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed.

More and more Queen Ant Legacy faction armies gathered under the cobblestones, and only a few were able to climb up, and most of the Queen Ant Legacy warriors gathered on flat ground, neither taking a detour nor squeezing forward to fight.

If you look at it from the air, the ground seems to be shrouded in a layer of darkness, like the irresistible king of the night, and the small group of divine envoy warriors on the cobblestones are like the last sunset in the evening, and the magnificence seems to be powerless to reverse fate.

In fact, as time went on, about half an hour later, the Divine Envoy King's squad had already begun to appear with soldiers who had been killed and wounded due to exhaustion.

With only three squads, there are no reserves to replace in order to defend the siege on all sides at the top of the stone.

And the temporary commander of these three squads is only a squad-level commander, lacking experience in commanding other squads, he didn't think of replacing other squads with less defensive pressure with his own squad that sticks to the front, just with the hard support of his subordinates, and the pressure is all concentrated on this one direction and one squad.

From the moment the first dead appeared in his squad, there have been more casualties among fighters, and the frequency is accelerating. If this continues like this, the small defensive circle formed by these three squads will not be long before the large number of enemies is exhausted.

The enemy's combat effectiveness is not strong, and the will to fight is not very strong, and a squad of fighters will often retreat with single digits of casualties.

However, they had a steady stream of additional troops to rotate forward, and although the rotation frequency was extremely fast, it meant an occasional respite for the defenders, but then they had to face a new wave of enemies with plenty of strength.

The defensive circle has been thinned, and the warriors of the Divine Envoy King have been squeezed to the side of the cobblestone, and the Queen Ant Inheritance faction army has firmly occupied a position on the cobblestone.

- I'm the dividing line -

More than an hour later, not far from the defense line of the crumbling Divine Envoy King warriors, the manticore finally led the main force of the 11th Legion to arrive after receiving a warning from the messenger.

Although the manticore has more than 2,000 elite warriors under his command, in the face of tens of thousands of enemies, the manticore does not dare to risk directly putting the troops into the attack to rescue the surrounded troops.

If you are not careful, your own legion will also be surrounded, and it is still early in the morning, even if your own legion has the ability to hold out until nightfall, it will inevitably pay a lot of casualties, and this kind of plain loss is not worth it.

Under the trade-off, the manticore still has to focus on the main force.

The 11th Legion's Scythe Hunters and Big-Headed Ant Scouts began to attack flexibly on the periphery of the battlefield, attracting the enemy's attention on the one hand, and looking for the enemy's flaws on the other, trying to find an opportunity for the main force to cut into the battlefield.

To tell the truth, the formation of the Queen Ant's Inheritance faction army is full of flaws, they are gathered around the cobblestones, the outermost troops are fighting separately, and there is no cooperation between each other, and there is a huge open and defenseless junction between any two legions.

If the Divine Envoy King's Legion could have more troops here, it would be easy to break through the junction and then fight a hearty division and encirclement battle.

But the Manticore only has one legion in hand, and it is the first time he has led an army through a big battle, so he does not dare to take risks.

His messenger had already rushed to find nearby allies: Rambovan's 3rd Legion and Kaniu's 10th Legion, and after combining the strength of the three legions, with Rambovan's temperament, he was probably not afraid to take the initiative to attack a larger number of enemies.

The scouts of the manticore cut off the enemy's reconnaissance, and although the enemy knew that reinforcements from the Divine Envoy King Legion were coming from the periphery, they did not know their number and specific location, so they could only stand still and besiege the surrounded Divine Envoy King warriors with all their might.

The manticore lion is waiting, the enemy army can afford to wait, but the besieged Divine Envoy King warriors can't wait.

More and more fighters were killed and wounded, and the wounded had to continue fighting until the last moment of their lives.

There were less than two squads of fighters left in the three squads, and the first squad on the front was almost completely casual, leaving only the commander of the barebones and a few wounded soldiers who had withdrawn.

They won't be able to hold out until other reinforcements arrive or night falls!

The first thing the manticore was waiting for was not reinforcements, but a small group of flying knights.

The three Flying Knights patrol the area and finally spot the anomaly, and after circling in a circle, they land next to the Manticore, reporting to him that the surrounded warriors are at the end of their rope.

The Manticore was originally a member of the Flying Knights, and he was familiar with them.

After a moment of contemplation, the Manticore ordered the Flying Knights to rescue the encircled males and abandon the other warriors.

For the Divine Legion, a shortage of male ant commanders is much more important than ordinary soldier ant warriors.

The Flying Knight quickly completed his mission, and the formation of the surrounded soldier warriors who had lost their command quickly collapsed, and the enemy had completely occupied the cobblestone that had been fighting fiercely for a long time.

Before reinforcements arrived, the encircled forces had been wiped out, and the manticore decisively withdrew with his troops under the cover of the scouts, and this sudden battle ended in the victory of the Queen Ant's Legacy faction army.
