Chapter 246: The Lair of Death Battle
The vitality of the ants is indeed strong, and although the male ants who returned from captivity had all six limbs broken, they were only slightly weak because of the bumpy road for more than a day.
After Rambo Fei asked the worker ants to feed him some food, including honeydew and last year's dried banyan fruit mashed to make a paste, the male ant quickly regained his strength.
But he refused to cooperate with Lan Bofei's inquiries at first, and constantly expressed his anger with the strongest emotions, after all, anyone whose limbs are bitten off will be angry, not to mention that the other party is still the minions of the evil God Envoy King.
The ants don't have any swearing, but the meaningless anger expresses his thoughts.
Rambo Fei didn't want to be rough with his kind, but the eager Flyhawk didn't think so.
As the second-generation male ant of the Divine Envoy King faction, the Fly Eagle is much smaller than the first-generation male ants such as Rambo Fei under the influence of tradition, except for the occasional inexplicable arrogance because of the respect of the male ants, most of the time they can agree with the protagonist's approach.
The Flyhawk was not so gentle with the disabled male captive, and he used one of his midlimbs to step on the head of the immobile captive, who was lying on the ground, which was humiliating. At the same time, the Flyhawk threatens to throw the male ant from the banyan tree into the river.
Fear of water is the innate nature of ants, and under this threat, the male ant, who was still very indignant, quickly succumbed and put the old-fashioned king and his as a combination.
Lan Bofei didn't expect this twist and turn at all, and hurriedly asked the flying knight to relay this information to the protagonist. That's why there was the previous scene.
- I'm the dividing line -
When Rambovan stepped into the nest with the corpses on the ground, he looked around, and among the corpses all over the ground, the huge body of a male ant with its head separated was unusually striking.
This corpse is the target of Rambovan's search, and it is this corpse that has caused a lot of trouble to the Divine Envoy King Legion when he was alive.
The army led by Rolling originally thought that the march to "Linshui City" was a simple military operation, just like the road from "Sitong City" to "Qingqiu City", the secondary nests along the way were not prepared for defense, and a few elite raids could occupy a secondary nest.
But this time was different, after easily conquering the first sub-nest along the way, "Grain Straw City", the Divine Envoy King's legion encountered a fierce battle in the second sub-nest.
The ruling male of this sub-nest is an extreme conservative, and it is he who receives the fleeing old-fashioned king and sends soldiers to protect him as he continues to advance.
He received a promise from the Old-fashioned King, who would return with the Northern Expeditionary Army to reclaim the Lord's Lair, and at the same time promote him to the King's Council.
Based on this promise, as well as his extreme dissatisfaction with the Divine King's renunciation of tradition and killing male ants, he made up his mind early on to actively prepare for the battle and prepare for the "King Master" in the future.
After the old-fashioned king left, Rambofei's troops also passed by this secondary nest, but did not enter it.
It was this event that made the king realize that it was possible for the minions of the Divine Envoy King to occupy this place, just as they did in the Lord's Lair. They can come once, and if they don't get in, they may come a second or third time, and they will be overwhelmed.
There was only one king in this sub-nest, and he took over the power and began to actively prepare for defense. He ordered the ants in the nest to treat all ants of his kind with the aura of the king as enemies, and actively hoarded food supplies.
When Roll led the three legions to the boundary of this sub-nest, he did not realize that the ants of this sub-nest were ready for battle.
According to his previous experience, he put away the scythe ant scout team, but sent a small army of big-headed ant warriors to the entrance of the secondary nest, wanting to use the breath of his clan to hide from the sky and the sea, break into the underground nest in one fell swoop, and then capture the thief and capture the king to control the male ants.
However, when this small army was discovered by the ants foraging for food in the nest, the ants either attacked or fled in panic.
The team commander failed to realize that something was wrong and did not know how to improvise, and continued to rush forward, only to be surrounded by the guards who rushed to hear the news near the entrance to the lair.
Fortunately, the roll in the rear got the news and took the beetle troops to rescue the team. The defenders, who lacked males and fought only instinctively, immediately broke up and fled underground.
By this time, the squad had already lost a third of its strength in the siege, which was the heaviest loss in recent operations.
Faced with the sub-nest that had already been defended, the Beetle troops who were good at field warfare were useless, and he put Rambovan's legion in charge of the attack.
Street fighting in the underground greatly weakened the tactical advantage of the Divine Envoy Legion's formation battle. Although the Vice-Nest defenders did not have a grassroots commander, they fought desperately with a strong sense of battle.
Never before in this year had the Divine Envoy Legion encountered such a resolute resistance to an enemy who was of the same race as itself. In the past, it was often the opponent of the Divine Envoy King Legion who could not be dealt with by the same clan.
But now, thanks to the information indoctrination of the sub-nest male ants for several days, the defenders have dealt with the same people with the aura of the god envoy king as if they were the old enemies of the paving ants. And the Divine Envoy King Legion was a little caught off guard, and the ten leaders couldn't play half of it.
That is, thanks to the perfect command structure of the Divine Envoy King's legion, after Rambowan realized that something was wrong and issued a strict order to resolutely attack, the commanders of the various squads who slowly came back to their senses finally remembered the ruthlessness of the Divine Envoy King's subordinates who did not obey the order, and began to urge his subordinates to step up the attack.
This kind of street fighting is a kind of war of attrition, and it took a lot of time and the lives of hundreds of elite soldiers for Rambovan's legion to finally break into the lowest nest chamber and kill the sub-nest male ant who commanded inside.
In the face of such a resolute opponent, the former clan, Rambowan did not ask the protagonist or roll, and asked his subordinates to place the corpses of the male ants and the corpses of other war dead in the public cemetery of the secondary nest, which is equivalent to giving the war dead on both sides the same treatment of their own clan, and it can be regarded as Rambovan's expression of his admiration.
After a hard battle, the Divine Envoy King's army captured an "empty city" at a great cost, which was no longer devoid of ant mouths and could not assume its original functions. And the new generation of male ant officials who came with the legion and prepared to manage this secondary nest were also at a loss.
Stop here to recuperate, and then report back to the protagonist about the situation here, and ask the protagonist to decide.
When the protagonist receives the message, he is surprised by a bitter fight, and the male ant of the dead nest does not provide any information as to why he fought to the death.
But he already sensed that even if he took possession of the main nest, the situation he would face could become more and more dire.
