Chapter 179: Mace
After a big battle, the sun is already high, the temperature is rising, and the protagonist is obviously unable to catch up on sleep.
At this point, the ants don't need to carry the mystery ball to move, and the protagonist sets up a sentry post outside the camp and returns to the ground. The ant warriors are busy cleaning up the battlefield, disposing of corpses, and stripping the mystery balls for storage.
The protagonist asks the herald to call all the legion commanders and find a place to have a meeting.
At the meeting, the protagonist communicates with the males, reminding them that they must attach great importance to the Destroyer's combat effectiveness, and after two battles, these commanders also intuitively understand the horror of their enemies.
Yesterday there were two battles, day and night, and the performance of the six legions was hardly satisfactory to the protagonist. Although there are also problems with the Divine King's own command mistakes, such as being unprepared at night, the protagonist does not want to delve into his own problems, but blames his subordinates. This is also a character weakness of his.
The protagonist lays out the achievements of several elite legions under his command, hoping to inspire the fighting spirit of the current legions, and he also perceives that the morale of the commanders of the current legions is a little low.
After some cheering, the protagonist began to assign tasks, he first ordered the 22nd and 23rd Legions to be responsible for expanding the camp today, to be built according to the underground defense facilities like [bridgehead], if it is too late, it can also be simplified, there are a few more alternate entrances and exits, and there can be no more massacres blocked underground.
The protagonist already foresees that the siege of [Trench City] may last for several days, and if the Destroyer attacks every night, the current camp will be simply vulnerable.
Therefore, it was necessary to build a sturdy camp that could cope with the nightly fighting and protect the defenders.
In addition, because the 24th Army suffered heavy losses, almost wiped out the army, and the commander of the 24th Army was also killed, how to deal with the number of the 24th Army has also become an issue, whether to rebuild or abandon the number of the 24th Army? Comments were made from all participants.
The protagonist does not intend to remove him from the establishment, and decides to assign a squad commander of the 19th Legion, who had performed well with him in the fight against the destroyers on the ground this morning, as the new commander of the 24th Legion, ordering him to lead his direct squad and the few remnants of the 24th Legion to return to the main nest [Qingqiu City] immediately.
They will begin to recruit troops as soon as they arrive at [Qingqiu City] and rebuild the 24th Legion. [Qingqiu City] has an abundant supply of troops, and conscription is not a problem, but it is estimated that it will take a while to train and wait for weapons and equipment, especially weapons and equipment, the expansion plan of the protagonist's hundred legions has led to an extremely tight supply of copper weapons, and it is estimated that all legions will not be able to equip all legions with weapons this year.
In addition, the protagonist also issued an order to [Qingqiu City] to set up a transport team to send a small batch of food to the camp.
Although the other ant warriors still have enough energy, they don't need to eat for the time being. However, after a high-intensity battle, sooner or later you need to replenish energy, and you must plan ahead.
In addition, the protagonist frequently enters the state of "gods descending to earth" during battles, and the energy consumption is very large, and yesterday he asked his subordinates to find food to feed himself. But the subordinates also found some vegetarian food in this chaos, and the energy contained in the food is very limited, so that the protagonist has a burning hunger in his stomach all the time, and he really wants to eat high-calorie fat and honeydew.
In addition to transporting food, the protagonist also asks [Qingqiu City] to bring some ballistae over. At this time, there were still twelve ballistas in [Qingqiu City], which were the result of the overtime work of the craftsman group in the winter, and it was originally planned to equip the reorganized rolling army after the beginning of spring. The protagonist asks [Qingqiu City] to also transport two gates over first, which are used to strengthen the underground defense of the campsite.
Eventually, the protagonist has a separate message to the Courier to pass on to the Minor Secretary II: he orders the research team to make a weapon for himself using the recent production capacity of the Copper Smelting Blast Furnace.
The protagonist had a copper hammer before, but he stayed in Linshui City, and the attack range of the copper hammer was too small, and he felt like he was in danger in the face of the destroyer, and if he wasn't careful, he would be in danger.
The protagonist uses a wooden stick this morning, but he feels that the stick is too light, and he doesn't use it, and the fight has been broken by the end.
The protagonist wants the scientific research team to make a long copper weapon, the whole is a long stick, the back end must have a counterweight ball to facilitate holding, there is a sharp copper spearhead in the front section, and there are copper spikes sticking out around it, similar to the feeling of a mace.
The weight of such a weapon, relative to the weight of ants, is really no less than those little monsters who were hit by Sun Wukong's Ruyi golden hoop stick weighing 13,500 catties. There are also spear tips and copper thorns on it, whether it is smashing, stabbing, sweeping, or picking, they all have great lethality.
The protagonist also doesn't know if he can understand the weapon he describes, or if he understands whether he can make a mold or cast it, this is already the most complicated task that the scientific research team has received. Maybe you have to wait for the war to end, and the protagonist will go back to guide it in person.
This bronze mace will definitely not be able to be made in a few days, but the protagonist still has to participate in the battle, so he asks his subordinates to find some long wooden sticks similar to the one used this morning from nearby as his temporary weapons.
The protagonist estimates that the pressure on [Trench City] in the past two days is not so great, and the army under his command has eliminated hundreds of destroyers in the past two days, and the enemy must also adjust the deployment to deal with his own batch of reinforcements, and he can't attack the city with all his strength.
At the end of the meeting, after the various legions were arranged, the protagonist once again attacked with the 19th Legion, the 20th Legion, and the 22nd Legion. Although the protagonist is still a little sleepy, the other ants are enough to take a nap, and they are still energetic and do not affect the fight.
I'm the dividing line
Today, the protagonist does not intend to attack the Destroyer, after two battles yesterday day and night, the troops he can bring out today are only three legions with a certain amount of battle damage, and the strength is less than half of yesterday, which is really not suitable for fighting with the enemy.
In the air, the flying knights from [Qingqiu City] have arrived, and after landing to receive the protagonist's orders, these flying knights are closely watching everything nearby in the air.
The flying knights soon received information that the destroyers had indeed divided a lot of troops on the ground, and there were thousands of them. The destroyers have not yet acted.
But when the Divine Messenger King's army arrives about half an hour away from the Destroyer, the stationary Destroyer suddenly seems to be alarmed by something, and kills them violently in the direction of the protagonist.
The Flying Knights quickly warn them, and the protagonist estimates the comparison of enemy and enemy forces, and finds that there is no chance of victory if they fight head-to-head!
