Double shifts will resume from today! I'll try to stick to the frequency of 12 watches next week, and there should be applause here!

I'm the dividing line

After the success of the fire bomb slinging experiment, the protagonist soon set up production workshops in [Qingqiu City] and [Dongyang City].

The preparation of this weapon is not as complex as a ballista, nor does it require equipment such as a blast furnace like copper smelting, as long as there is a site and raw materials, ordinary worker ants can be competent after a short training.

The worker ants built a large nest and a stockpile at a distance from each other in the remote corners of the two nests, arranged simple tools, and began to produce.

The mysterious liquid in a mysterious ball can make dozens of fire bombs, and on the first day of operation, thousands of fire bombs were produced in both places.

This amount is not enough for one soldier of a legion, but the mystic orbs in the inventory of the entire Divine Envoy King Legion are about to bottom out.

In the previous operation, the Mystery Ball was used for heating, the Mystery Ball was used to blast the river, and now the Mystery Ball is also needed to produce weapons, and the Mystery Ball has become a strategic resource no less than copper ore.

However, in the case that the method of preparing the mysterious liquid from the fluorescent bacteria extract has not yet been fruitful, the combat capture is the only source of obtaining the mysterious ball and the mysterious liquid.

Faced with the inventory that is about to run out, and the troops assembled in [Qingqiu City] are basically in place, the protagonist decides to take the initiative and blow the horn of a counterattack.

At present, there are as many as 40 legions gathered in [Qingqiu City], and in addition to the old legions such as the 1st Legion, there are many new legions that have just been formed after the beginning of spring.

There were as many as 20 legions gathered in [Dongyang City], and another 30 legions were scattered all over the place to garrison them.

Such a large-scale standing army force is unprecedented in the history of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom and the Divine Envoy King Legion, and it took half a month just to assemble it.

After the troops were assembled, they had to consume a huge amount of grain and grass every day, and although [Qingqiu City] and [Dongyang City] had stocks of grain and grass, they did not have much left after a winter's consumption. In addition, the abnormal climate after the beginning of spring has greatly affected the harvest of gathering, hunting and foraging.

At present, the fields have not yet been sown, and the farms have only just begun to breed the first batch of mealworms, and there is still some time before the harvest.

Now can be said to be the time when the Divine Envoy King's army is the most scarce, and it is logically not suitable to send troops.

However, the protagonist is bent on eliminating the destroyers on the south bank of the river as soon as possible and returning to a relatively safe state of confrontation across the river. This, coupled with the urgent need for the Mystery Sphere, prompted the army to assemble.

At present, both [Qingqiu City] and [Dongyang City] rely on the food delivery of nearby nests, and after the second spring cold, there is an endless stream of ant transport teams on the ant roads in the entire territory, and all the remaining grain in the nests in various places is concentrated in the two places.

Such transportation also requires a lot of food and ant power, and the occupied ant hands will also affect the already meager food income.

The protagonist predicts that this food shortage will continue for another month, and will not be alleviated until the vegetation is verdant.

But he can't wait that long, the protagonist is now bent on seeking a decisive battle with the Destroyer, so that he can regain the lost territory, and there will be a lot of food stored in the lost land, after all, the Destroyer eats corpses, and will not eat the stored food, at most it will waste some.

Moreover, the attrition in the battle can also alleviate the pressure on food, and after winning the decisive battle, there is no need to maintain a large-scale main force, and part of the troops can return to their original lair to participate in production.

No matter how you look at it, the protagonist feels that launching a large-scale counteroffensive now is more profitable and profitable.

Although the Destroyer still has a main force in its tracks, and the Flying Knights have been searching for many days to find nothing, the most likely is that this group of enemies is hiding in an underground lair somewhere to rest, and only then has they escaped aerial detection.

However, the thousands of destroyers besieging [Sitong City] are firmly nailed there by the defenders and cannot get out, and the protagonist wants to eat this group of enemies first, which can greatly weaken the total strength of the enemy army on the south bank of the river.

In order to prepare for the elusive Destroyer's other forces, the protagonist leaves the main forces, including the 1st Legion, behind in order to improvise.

He himself led 21 legions to [Sitong City], including the 41st-60th legions, all of which were newly formed, and the only old legion was the 14th legion of the kite, the Scythe Hunting Ant Legion.

In addition, he also ordered Lan Bofei of [Dongyang City] to leave 5 legions to defend the city, while he himself personally led 15 legions to converge, including the elite 2nd legion.

In this way, when the troops are combined, there will be 36 legions under the command of the protagonist, with a total strength of up to 90,000 troops. The army was also armed with thousands of rounds of fire shells and slings, and worked tirelessly to carry spare parts for ten ballistae from Dongyang City.

With such a large army, coupled with the cooperation of the defenders in [Sitong City], the protagonist is bent on eating the enemy in the southern theater of operations in one go.

I'm the dividing line

Early in the morning of March 31, the army set out from two places one after another, aiming directly at the enemy army in [Sitong City].

The protagonist personally leads the Praetorian Guard team, marching in the middle of the team, and the outer scythe hunters have already deployed a scout net, and the flying knights in the air take turns to accompany them, providing reconnaissance information at any time

What a huge army this is, overlooking from the sky, on the small ant road, the army is advancing side by side in two columns, the army winds up to a hundred meters long, a very fast hunting sickle fierce ant scout, if you want to run from the head of the team to the end of the team, you have to spend more than an hour.

Commanding such a large army, the commander's tasks are also very heavy, and there are constantly messengers running from everywhere to convey the latest situation, and some require the protagonist to make a decision immediately, but even if the order is given in time, it often takes dozens of minutes to pass it back.

Some regiments reported that they had spotted fierce insects watching on the side of the road and were stopping to be on guard. Then the legions behind reported that the friendly forces in front of them were not advancing and blocked the road, and they had to stop.

Some regiments also reported that some friendly troops did not advance but hunted on the side of the road, and the defendant's regiment complained that the soldiers were too anxious to open the attack, and the soldiers did not have enough to eat, so they caught some prey by the way.

All this annoys the protagonist, and he has to send the Praetorian Guards to supervise, and requires the legions to keep marching and not break away from the large army.

The biggest problem was that the Vanguard Legion noticed that a steep road to [Sitong City] had collapsed, and the army had to stop and wait for the Scythe Hunter Scouts to find a new path and mark it before setting off again.

It was originally more than a day's journey, but by the time it was almost dark, it was less than a third of the way.

Because the size of the nearby sub-nest was too small, most of the 50,000-strong army could only dig temporary camps on the spot to rest.
