Chapter 187: Besieged (3)

The number of enemies in this attack was significantly larger, menacing, apparently the enemy had reinforcements, perhaps their main forces had arrived.

Lacking information, the protagonist can only speculate on a near-blind guess.

In the face of the second attack, the sentinels of the Divine Envoy King's legion, which had already been prepared, were not caught off guard this time, and they alerted while retreating, without paying casualties.

The sentinels passed through the path reserved between the two Destroyer corpses on the predetermined battlefield, and soon took refuge in the protection of the ballistas, finally completely safe.

Shortly after the Destroyer emerged from the other side of the battlefield, the ballista fired a preemptive round, and the stone projectiles were fired through the gap between the Destroyer's corpse and the roof of the cave, a gap that was not large enough for The Destroyer to crawl through, but enough for the stone projectiles to pass through.

At such a close distance, both stone bullets passed through the gap smoothly and shot forward. However, one shot missed, hitting the dirt wall near the entrance, splattering a large cloud of dust, and pouring the Destroyers below into disgrace.

Another stone bullet hit an unlucky Destroyer coming out of the hole, smashing its head to pieces and dying no more.

The Destroyers didn't care about the blows of the ballistas, and they quickly rushed to the corpses.

Behind the corpse, there was already a squad of Divine Messenger King warriors on standby, ready to continue to use the previous tug-of-war tactics to interfere with the enemy's advance, the purpose was still to delay time.

But this time, instead of tug-of-war, the Destroyers have a new tactic, trying to arch the two corpses to the sides, trying to make a way through the middle.

The front-line Divine Envoy King warriors didn't react for a while, and even the squad commander was a little dazed, not knowing how to respond.

The protagonist secretly said "not good" in his heart!

Sure enough, before the protagonist could send a herald, the Destroyer had already squeezed a slit out of the corpse in a short period of time, and a huge Destroyer's head stretched out along with the big jaw.

Between the lightning and flint, the Destroyer's jaws stretched and retracted, opened and closed, and the dazed squad commander was sandwiched in two pieces from his waist before he could even escape.

This vitality male ant is not dead, his lower body is still hanging on the big jaw of the destroyer, and the upper half of his body is still running fast after landing on the ground, dragged by the remaining limbs, and he wants to run back to the main formation, if it weren't for the blood and organ fragments that have fallen from the wound section, he can't see that he is injured at all.

But the Destroyer's second attack completely killed the male, and the male's corpse was cut into three, and the unwilling light in the huge compound eyes dissipated.

The protagonist regrets that he temporarily changed the squad on the front line, and the squad commander just now was very clever, if he was there, he would definitely not be so embarrassed in the face of the enemy's new tactics, and he would not be killed.

The protagonist has the intention of promoting the male ant, so he sends his team to the relatively safe rear, and changes another team to carry out the "tug-of-war" mission, but unexpectedly, kills the commander of the team.

The front-line squad lost its commander, and they didn't know what to do, but instinctively fought with the destroyer who poked their heads out.

Only the Destroyer with his head exposed was almost invincible in close combat, and the Divine Envoy King warriors could not even besiege and circle the rear, and soon left several corpses behind.

The protagonist hurriedly orders another squad to go up to replace the front-line team, and urges the ballista to quickly reload

These ballistae were improvised trained and had a slower reload. Finally, a ballista is loaded first, and the protagonist personally aims and fires, hitting the destroyer between the two corpses, turning it into a third corpse blocking the road.

There was a commotion among the Destroyers, who were temporarily separated from the defenders, who took the opportunity to complete their rotation and replace the squad that had lost its commander.

But the calm only lasted for a short time, and it may have been the order of the Destroyer commander, and the Destroyers actually began to bite and cut the corpses of their comrades, quickly biting two corpses into large pieces, and the other corpse would obviously not be destroyed soon.

First, a Destroyer had a face full of muzzled marks of flesh and blood, the remains of a gnawed corpse emerging from the fragments of the corpse.

The protagonist fires another stone at it, causing it to close its jaw completely.

However, the enemy was apparently much faster at destroying corpses than ballistas, and soon the enemy was forcing the defenders into melee combat.

The Divine Envoy King's legion had to send one squad after another to "send them to death", and the time that the squad delayed with flesh and blood was just enough for two ballistas to fire twice.

Although the males and some of the fighters of these squads were able to withdraw due to proper organization, the cost of thirty or forty casualties for each squad was only the result of killing three or four destroyers, and the exchange ratio was quite uncompromising.

But the protagonist has no choice, the ballista position must be held, and the second line of defense behind has not yet been built, so the destroyer can't just be let go.

Fortunately, as the casualties on both sides increased, the long-term narrow preset battlefield became more crowded.

As the battle line grew closer to the ballista positions, the Destroyers had to spend more time and energy squeezing through corpses and wreckage to reach the battle.

However, the Destroyers with their commanders in charge were also very resilient, and they quickly began to clean up the battlefield on their own, carrying the corpses outside, anyway, if they were to be evacuated after they won. It was on the ice that the Flying Knights observed the Destroyer transporting corpses north in the opposite direction of the southbound reinforcements.

The tide of the battle began to turn against the defenders, not only were the losses great, but the battle line was also moving little by little towards the ballista positions, and soon the ballistas would also be in danger.

As a last resort, the protagonist orders the ballista to be disassembled and retreat, and three squads use flesh and blood to block the enemy without the cover of the ballista, allowing the protagonist and the ballista to retreat behind.

The back line of defense has not yet been built, and the protagonist finds a big rock, blocks the only passage with the power of "the gods descend to earth", and stuffs it tightly.

At this time, there are still Divine Envoy King warriors on the battlefield who are still stubbornly resisting, but the protagonist has no choice but to abandon them and seal them out of stone with the enemy.

After about a few minutes, the protagonist's tentacles leaned against the mud wall, and the noisy fighting sounds in the battlefield stopped, apparently the Divine Angel King warriors inside had all been sacrificed.

After a few moments, the protagonist feels a slight movement from the stone against which his front limbs are resting, and the Destroyers begin to try to push the pesky stone out of the way.

Due to the narrow passage, only a few Destroyers can push and shove hard at a time, and the protagonist does not need to enter the state of "Celestial Descending to Earth", and it is easy to keep the stone unmoved with one hand.

Hide behind boulders, the defenders are safe for the time being!
