Chapter 183: Breaking the Siege (4)

The Destroyer Commander, after narrowly escaping the disaster of killing, immediately escaped into many destroyers with the same appearance, the protagonist couldn't track it at once, lost the target, and then tried to find a destroyer from a large group of enemies with a different temperament, no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.

The protagonist has to give up and concentrate on dealing with the three new ant towers.

Each of the three towers has fewer destroyers than the previous one, so they grow at a slower rate.

But even so, the protagonist struggles to cope.

I saw the protagonist running wildly on the embankment, one would appear here, and the next would appear there. One moment he stabbed the tower with a long stick, the next he frantically dug for dirt and broke the tower with the mud and sand that tumbled down, and the next he stabbed the destroyer who had just climbed up.

Even with the protagonist's efforts, the Destroyers keep climbing the levees and biting with the guardians of the Divine Imperium King.

Fortunately, the embankment is already loose, and after the protagonist digs around, it becomes softer. It's okay for the Divine Messenger King warriors to stand on it, but it's a trap for the Destroyer who climbs the embankment halfway up.

They couldn't fully stand on top of the embankment, only their front two limbs or front limbs were on the embankment, the back half of their bodies were still dangling, and the Destroyer behind them was still anxiously supporting each other and spreading upward, desperately arching upwards against its belly.

The Destroyer, who climbed first, struggled to hold himself in place as he struggled to overcome the dirt and rocks that were constantly being ripped off under the arthrops, and tried to climb his entire body to the top of the embankment; On the one hand, it is necessary to deal with the counterattack of the defenders. Even those as tough as the Destroyer have to scramble.

Some of the Destroyers couldn't hold it and rolled down the falling gravel, hitting a few of their companions. Some refused to retreat desperately, and could not be bitten to death by the defenders if they moved.

Even so, more and more Destroyers slowly climbed the levee, and some of the fierce Destroyers finally took a place on the levee, covering the other Destroyers behind them.

Some of the areas have finally been breached, and the protagonist is too late to destroy the ant tower, and he is now like a firefighter, supporting everywhere to fill the most dangerous gap.

Such a long-term front-line battle, the protagonist has not experienced it for a long time, and even if he enters the state of "gods descending to earth", he quickly feels tired.

Before you know it, an hour has passed, and the embankment line is crumbling, but it is still barely holding on. But the protagonist is almost unable to support it, his "god descending to earth" state has been maintained to the limit, he has never used the ability for such a long time, and now he is holding on to it in one breath.

The protagonist stands in a relatively safe position, and the slightly curved long stick in his hand slaps down one by one, smashing a destroyer who stood on the wall into the earth, and his skull has already collapsed and he is dead.

The protagonist's consciousness is already a little confused, and he is still instinctively looking for a target to slap, his front two limbs are extremely sore, and he can barely lift the long stick that he could easily swing.

He guarded the last trace of clarity in his mind, if it weren't for the fact that the ants didn't have tongues, the protagonist would have bitten his tongue long ago to stay awake.

The protagonist's last shred of sanity tells him that this place is almost untenable. The protagonist was too arrogant before, and dared to attack with only two legions, even if there were long-planned embankment defenses, but at present, it was not enough to withstand the desperate counterattack of the besieged destroyers.

In particular, there is also a commander among the enemy who is clearly not inferiorly intelligent.

The protagonist is finally forced to withdraw from the state of "gods descending from the earth", and the huge pain that has not been felt for a long time comes back, making him feel painful.

The protagonist's last memory before fainting is that a flying knight lands and tells him that the Destroyer force that he was led to the woods has returned, and the protagonist gives the courier an order to retreat, and then he is unknown.

I'm the dividing line

When the protagonist wakes up, he is lying in a dark underground nest with a soft silk bed underneath him.

He only felt sore and weak, and his whole body was very sore.

"It's okay, I didn't die or be reborn!" The protagonist struggles to lift his right forelimb to make sure that he is still the body of an ant, convinced that he is not dead.

Soon, a worker ant came to the protagonist's side, a large-headed ant worker ant familiar to the protagonist, with the unique breath of the Divine Envoy King Legion, and the breath of the nest.

It looks like I'm in it.

The protagonist was a little surprised, and he didn't care about the pain on his body, so he reluctantly turned around, grinning in pain, and simply lay on the silk bed.

Apparently unable to withstand the Destroyer's counterattack, his troops retreated from the ground. And reinforcements from the Destroyer are coming. How did you get here?

The protagonist asks the worker ants to call the male ant who is in charge here, and soon, the commander of the 19th and 21st Legion and the ruling male arrive.

As soon as the protagonist communicates with the three male ants, he understands the reason.

It turned out that after the protagonist fell unconscious, the 19th and 20th regiments immediately retreated according to the protagonist's orders. However, due to the haste of the incident and the lack of experience of the two corps, the retreat turned into a rout, and the 20th Corps was in a position behind and suffered heavy losses, and even the corps commander died on the way to retreat.

The 19th Legion desperately guards the protagonist's escape, throwing off the pursuers and trying to retreat to the camp. However, the scouts found themselves close to the Destroyer forces returning south from the groves, and the 19th Legion had to take refuge to the west.

The 19th Regiment then hid nearby, and it was not until late evening that the 19th Regiment encountered the messenger who had been sent and learned that the Destroyer had withdrawn from the army, and then followed the messenger back to the interior.

At the same time, the 21st Legion also arrived, and the remnants of the 20th Legion were also gathered somewhat.

The 22nd and 23rd Legions were still camped, and although they received a messenger message, they did not move to camp because they did not have the protagonist's order.

The protagonist was silent for a while, last night the 24th Army was almost wiped out, and it was already about to be rebuilt, and today the 20th Army suffered heavy losses, and reconstruction is inevitable. The six legions brought out by the protagonist were almost half lost in just two days.

Even if the Destroyer retreats, his rescue plan is considered a success, and the protagonist is not happy.

It's late at night, and the protagonist overcomes his discomfort and gives a series of orders: send messengers overnight to move the two legions in the camp.

He appointed a squad commander who had performed well during the day's battles as the new commander of the 20th Legion, and asked him to lead his troops back to the rebuilding corps early tomorrow morning.

The protagonist then eats some dried honeydew and sleeps again to replenish his energy.
