In the days that followed, the Destroyers surrounded, blockaded, and attacked the western nests of the Paving Ant Barbarian Nation.

And the Paving Ant Barbarian Army is also firmly defending the defense line on the top of the rocky pile, but the situation is still getting more and more critical!

After several days of consumption, the Destroyer lost more than a thousand, and the loss of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army was as high as more than 30,000 soldiers.

If the war continues, the full strength potential of the western nest will be enough to last for about a month, and it will not survive this winter.

Moreover, as the rate at which warriors die is much faster than the rate at which the nest can replenish newborn warriors, as the absolute number of defenders decreases, a collapse will occur once a certain tipping point is exceeded.

A battle is not fought by both sides until one of the sides is completely annihilated, but when one side can no longer bear the loss, it will collapse, and the same applies to the war of ants. Once the defense line collapses, even if all the Paving Ant Warriors resist stubbornly, it will only end up being divided and slaughtered by the Destroyer.

The Destroyers await this tipping point, and they sit quietly outside the Western Wing, ready to tear the nest apart, ready to virtually destroy the Paving Ant Barbarians.

In the western nest, although the male ants still have fighting spirit, the gloomy and gloomy pessimistic atmosphere is also spreading.

Although there is still a lot of food and grass in the nest, and the number of fighters is still quite large, the external connection has been cut off. With no support from outside, and the enemy attacking day after day, the keen male ant has already seen the end of the short time.

But it seems that God will also have mercy on the fall of a giant, and the sunset will also return to its light.

On one day, the Destroyers had a premonition of cold air coming, and they were more sensitive to the weather than ordinary ants. The Destroyers then began to quickly evacuate, retreating to the safety of their rear.

The Paving Ant Barbarian Army spotted the enemy retreating, and they quickly sensed the arrival of cold air.

The meeting of the third king of the Paving Ant Barbarian Nation, taking advantage of the fact that most of the day before the arrival of the cold air, the commander pulled another group of soldiers and grain from the nearby nest.

For this reason, the six secondary nests closest to the western nest have even existed in name only, and only one old male ant is left behind with hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled worker ants, and the young and middle-aged ants and queens have been transferred to the western nest.

Even if these secondary nests survive the winter, they don't need the destroyer to attack, and if the western nests don't send the queen back, they will soon perish.

Heavy snow fell on the earth at night, like white jade crumbs scattered in the sky, fluttering and falling, dressing the world with a layer of beauty, but also shrouded in a chill.

The paving ants also have a simple belief in the gods like the big-headed ants, and even have male ant positions related to the gods such as the oldest king and the king of the gods. This is what the protagonist knows from the Floating Leaf King.

I don't know if these paving ants will thank the gods from the bottom of their hearts, thank him for stopping the enemy's attack with a snowfall, and temporarily saving the paving ant barbarian country's last hope to split the nest in the west.

But the snowfall doesn't end forever, and there is always an end to the majestic snowfall.

As the cold front moved south across the mountain basin, the high pressure took control of the land, the clouds cleared, the snow stopped, and the sun shone back into the world.

Although the absolute temperature is much lower than before, the temperature is above freezing at noon under the sun, and the paver ants can already move in the sun.

Of course, the Destroyer, which is better adapted to winter, can also.

Soon, an army of tens of thousands of Destroyers reappeared, sealing off and besieging the Western Divide as it had done last time.

At this time, the western nest has gathered some strength from the surrounding nests, and it is stronger than before.

However, due to the current weather, the temperature is very low in the morning and evening, and the paver ants cannot go out early in the morning to set up a defensive line on the top of the rocky pile. The hardy Destroyer, on the other hand, attacks shortly after the sun rises.

As a result, the Paving Ant Defenders had to place their defenses below the surface. They also tasted the passivity and helplessness of the defenders nesting in their nests when they invaded the big-headed ant kingdom in the south.

The underground structure of the western nest is complex, and the underground of the rocks is densely packed with rocks and the soil carried by the wind and water between the rocks.

The nest chambers and passages of the western nest can only be extended along the surface of the stone, using the cracks in the stone to expand, so it is not as regular as most ant nests, and it is not suitable for constructing some complex structures suitable for defense.

Moreover, there are as many as a dozen entrances and exits in the western nest, which is also a last resort because of the complex underground terrain.

The Destroyers attack from all entrances, and the Paving Ant Defenders can only hold on to each line of defense, otherwise the loss of any line of defense may bring about a chain of collapse.

The battle went underground and was even more disadvantageous to the defenders, and the street fighting in the narrow passages was more favorable to the destroyers with strong individual combat effectiveness than to the paving ants accustomed to siege.

Even if the paving ant warriors encounter the big-headed ants in the street fight, they can't defeat them, let alone these destroyers who are like giant ants. The paver ants stand in front of the destroyer in the same despair as a man standing in front of a hungry North American brown bear with his bare hands.

Every day, while the Destroyers, who withdrew yesterday, renew their assault on the underground, each time their advance expands.

Gradually, the upper layers of the western branch of the Paving Ant Barbarians were lost, and the Destroyers would no longer retreat outside the city at night, but would stay in place in some warm places.

The defenders tried to continue fighting at night to expel the Destroyers left behind and rebuild the entire defensive circle, but failed.

The Paving Ants had to retreat to the lower half of the nest, while the Destroyer took control of the upper layer of the nest.

The two sides faced each other at different levels, and the situation was gradually unfavorable to the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, and even the Paving Ant's own males began to despair.

They no longer strictly restrain their subordinates, nor do they carefully calculate every penny of food consumption, the male ants take the lead in gluttonizing the stock of sweet delicacies, and the worker ants also let go of their bellies to eat.

In any case, the days left of their lives are shorter than the time that the food in stock can last.

The interior of the western branch of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country is already filled with an atmosphere of desperation!

I'm the dividing line

After having a warm baby, and [bridgehead] is temporarily safe, the protagonist simply spreads ant felt, takes the warm baby, and flies back to [Dongyang City].

Here, he led the scientific research team to prepare a sample of the equipment needed for his "tank plan" in advance.
