Chapter 221: April 15
The protagonist and the army were under the siege of the city for five days.
In the past five days, the protagonist was not in a hurry at first, and wanted to fight steadily, using small-scale blasting and excavation tactics to constantly destroy the underground structure of [Spiral Flower City], running in small steps, and consuming the enemy with minimal losses.
The protagonist thinks to himself that as long as he reaches a certain tipping point, the defenses under the [Spiral Flower City] will definitely collapse.
After all, with so many destroyers gathered in the city, it was unrealistic to storm it. However, as the underground nests are gradually destroyed, many of the nests will gradually fail, and the defenders will be forced to shrink, and the density will increase, which will also bring a series of chain reactions.
Just like in ancient human wars, the defenders of the city sometimes had a large number of people, but it was this "advantage" that made the defenders more susceptible to epidemics, short of military rations, and uneven people's hearts, which weakened the resistance.
Traditional big-headed ant nests like [Spiral Flower City] generally have entrances and exits, some granaries, ventilation vents, and temporary garbage stacking nests on the surface.
The Divine Legion blocked the entrances and exits, making it impossible for the enemy to go out; A lot of ventilation openings are closed, which makes it difficult to ventilate the nest; Blew up the garbage station, so that if the enemy has garbage that can only accumulate in the already crowded deep nest**, it is easier to breed germs.
The protagonist is full of the belief that the enemy will be on the verge of collapse very quickly.
But three days later, the Divine Envoy King warriors, who had broken into the ground along the new blasting site, had found the air underground to be muddy and dirty, but the Destroyers were still in good spirits and seemed to show no signs of weakening.
The protagonist has been haunted by a sense of crisis in his heart for the past few days, and he feels that he can't spend it here in vain.
In the next two days, the Divine Envoy King's army increased its explosives, attacking in shifts around the clock.
On this day, April 15, in the afternoon, the protagonist stands high in the wall.
A jolt came from beneath his feet, and a mushroom cloud rose again not far away, scattering the sand from the explosion, some of which fell on the protagonist, who was watching from afar, and he had to cover his compound eyes with his forelimbs to avoid injury.
Before the aftermath of the explosion has subsided, the two teams of Divine Envoy King warriors quickly climb over the wall from the protagonist's side and rush to the site of the explosion just now.
A team of Divine Emissary King warriors is tasked with clearing the floating earth created by the explosion and killing the Destroyers who are not dead after the explosion.
Another team of Divine Envoy King warriors drilled through the three newly appeared openings at the scene of the explosion just now, and attacked along the passage.
They dragged out the Destroyers, who were so stunned that blood was oozing from their blowholes, killed them on the ground, and then tried to go deeper.
But soon, the destroyer who counterattacked also came out of the depths of the ground, and the two sides fought for a while in the narrow underground, and the god envoy king warrior, who had suffered from hand-to-hand combat ability, had to retreat again.
On average, such battles take place every half hour.
As of today, the siege has been going on for several days, and the Divine Envoy King's legion has spent a thousand mystic balls just by blasting, almost completely destroying two-thirds of the nest structure in the upper half of [Spiral Flower City], killing more than a thousand destroyers, and losing about three thousand warriors themselves.
There are still a few hundred or a thousand of the Destroyers, who continue to hold on to the ruins, still firmly occupying the last third of the nest, but they are not as strong as they used to be.
The entire surface of the [Spiral Flower City] has been blown into a large pit within the wall, and the pit is full of soft floating soil, and a thin layer covers the mouths of the passages that have been blown out to see the light of day.
More of the floating earth has been carried away by the Divine Angel King warriors, so as not to cover the lair occupied by the enemy and interfere with the attack.
The protagonist coldly watched the fighters on both sides fight and die in the aftermath of the explosion, and his heart was already numb.
He no longer cares whether these warriors live or die, he only needs to completely destroy this lair, even if it is captured, it will be an irreparable ruin, and he can only build a new city.
He knew that the battle for the [bridgehead] on the north bank of the Great River had become increasingly fierce, the battle with the parasitic ants in the swamp area had also intensified, and the Destroyer still had a main force on the south bank of the Great River, and had not been found by the Flying Knights.
Since the day before yesterday, the protagonist's anxiety has become more and more serious, and he feels that he can't spend any more here.
The fighter plane was fleeting, and after blasting through the ice [to Xicheng], the destroyers on the south bank of the Great River were completely isolated, and such a battle situation was obviously more favorable to the Divine Envoy King's legion. But the protagonist always feels that every day he spends in [Spinning Flower City], his advantage will be reduced by one point.
In every war, the superiority is always changing, and when the division has been ineffective for a long time, it is often the time when it falls into a disadvantage.
- I'm the dividing line -
To the southeast of the swampy jungle, at the edge of the core of the Legion of the Divine King's domain.
[Grain Castle], this is a nest about a day's journey from the main nest [Qingqiu City], located in the northeast of [Qingqiu City].
In the past, during the old big-headed ant kingdom, it was the most important line of defense against the southward invasion of paving ants in winter, and once it was lost, the core area of the main nest, which was the most densely populated, would be threatened.
In the counterattack at the beginning of the spring of the following year, it became the starting position and grain storage place of the army.
As a result, the size of the nest is huge, far exceeding the living needs of the 10,000 ant populations that are permanently inhabited. Originally, as an important strategic support point, a large number of supplies would be hoarded, and several queens would be stationed.
However, after the Divine Envoy King succeeded to the Great Unification, due to the consolidation of the defenses along the Great River, the threat from the north could not penetrate to this point, and it was no longer a strategic center, and it was no longer a large stockpile of supplies.
Aside from the name given by the protagonist, it's just a nest with a slightly more than average ant-mouth, an agricultural nest that uses the free nest space to develop the breeding industry.
But this is such a nest that has been at peace since last year's civil war, just after a brief battle, and then fallen!
Suddenly, a large number of Destroyers appeared in this lair far from the battlefield.
Although the dominant males here have organized resistance, the garrison corps is mostly unfought worker ants, and the nest structure is too large to defend.
The enemy bravely broke into the underground nest and launched a massacre, and even the mealworms that hatched after the beginning of spring in the farm and had not yet grown were cut into several pieces with their jaws and killed cleanly.
Only a handful of worker ants foraging on the ground escaped, bringing the news of the enemy's presence in the hinterland of the Divine Envoy King's territory in all directions.
The protagonist of [Swirling Flower City] learns about the enemy's movements that evening, and only then realizes where his sense of crisis comes from.
Today, April 15th, the Destroyer made a surprise attack from the middle of the swampy jungle and conquered [Grain Castle].
