Chapter 114: Battle of the Grass (2)
The remnants of the 6th Legion were ordered to hide in the vegetation and hold on, and the mysterious ants, which were larger and less flexible, continued to besiege and did not give up because of the unfavorable terrain. The crisis in Rambosser's department has not yet been completely resolved, and a few hundred mysterious ants have almost driven them into a desperate situation.
The second messenger for help hurried to the rear, and finally met Ramboto's 4th Army Corps, which was rushing to help.
Only then does the protagonist learn that the 6th Army has fallen into a great crisis, and hurriedly orders the whole army to continue to speed up, eager to put on wings and fly directly to the battlefield.
Rambotu's legion finally reached the grassy area, but from the outside, the grass was so lush with vegetation that the grass swayed in the breeze made it impossible to see the depths inside, and the uninformed would not have guessed that a fierce and bloody battle was taking place inside.
Although he was a little tired along the way, Rambo still ordered his troops to immediately form a formation and advance inside, which was the same as Rambose's support tactics, and formation and discipline were the most important precepts imprinted in the minds of the big-headed ant warriors.
Soon, the mysterious ant warriors on the periphery spotted this wave of reinforcements, and compared to the remnants of the Lamberser Legion who were hiding on the plants, scattered, and had been trying to avoid a head-on battle, the mysterious ants saw the reinforcements as a greater threat, and gathered to attack.
Lamboto's legions were more experienced, organized, and disciplined than Rambose's 6th Legion, and they didn't move very fast in the grass, but their formation was well maintained, and the line remained in a gentle straight line, and they were not disjointed on the march.
Although the Mysterious Ant's assault was equally powerful, they were better at defense, and the soldiers of the 4th Legion, who had been trained as parasitic war beasts in the swampy area, were not routed in front of them, but used the thickness of the formation to absorb the enemy's impact like a spring, and then swarmed up, using the advantage of their strength to besiege the enemy who had exhausted the impact.
Rambotu's 4th Legion, which is worthy of being one of the three strongest legions in the Divine Envoy King Legion alongside the 1st Legion and Rambovan's 3rd Legion, faced the mysterious ants on the north bank of the Megatron River, and did not fall behind in the first confrontation.
However, the reason why the 4th Legion was able to survive the assault of the first wave of mysterious ants was also related to the small number of mysterious ants and the decline in physical strength that had been fighting for a long time.
The mysterious ant, who had lost the speed of the assault, even if his weapons were sharp and his carapace was hard, after all, the hungry tiger was invincible to the wolves, and soon fell into an unfavorable siege, and Rambose's troops also threw themselves into a counterattack when they saw this.
The mysterious ants are also fierce, trapped beasts are still fighting, and they still bring a lot of losses to the warriors of the Divine Envoy King.
There is even a small group of more than a dozen mysterious ant warriors, and when they find that the Praetorian Guard squad around the protagonist is in a strict formation and there are constant heralds, they launch a fierce and indomitable assault here.
The Praetorian Guards bravely met the enemy as soon as they approached, but the enemy's assault momentum had already started, and the Praetorian Guards were suddenly broken through by the enemy to a very close place to the protagonist.
When Mulan was about to personally take the last few warriors to form the last line of defense to protect the god envoy king, the protagonist was moved in his heart and entered the state of "gods descending to earth", not retreating but advancing, and rushing forward.
The information about the previous battle with the mysterious ants was reported by other ants, and today the protagonist plans to fight this enemy with a mysterious origin up close and feel it.
Although it was a whim, the protagonist was not rash in the battle, in the battle just now, through observation, the protagonist had estimated that although the strength of these enemies was much stronger than that of ordinary ants, it was no different from the clouds and mud compared to himself after entering the "Heavenly God Descending to Earth".
The huge advantage in strength gives the protagonist confidence.
The mysterious ant who is the first to kill the leader in front of the protagonist has a huge jagged jaw on its triangular head, which is almost in a straight line. Once within the range of this jaw, the base of the jaw will tighten like a spring, and the bitten prey will immediately be cut in two.
This threatening jaw comes straight at the protagonist, and the protagonist catches up with it very quickly, and the loyal guards such as Mulan have no time to stop the noble god king from putting his life in danger.
Adrenaline is being secreted in large quantities, the flow of time around them seems to be slowing down, enemies and allies are moving in slow motion, and the protagonist enters a mysterious realm, which is completely different from fighting with ballistas in the swamp area, and only the most direct, naked, and primitive hand-to-hand combat will inspire this state.
The protagonist's right anterior arthropod leans forward, and the hooked foot has hooked the top of the left side of the mysterious ant's big jaw, and the mysterious ant has not yet reacted that he has been caught, and the big jaw has not been closed in spite of it, and suddenly he feels a huge force coming, and his body has been lifted into the air, soaring into the air, and being slammed to the ground.
The protagonist makes a one-handed over-the-shoulder movement, knocking a mysterious ant to the ground.
Although it has a solid carapace protection, the impact force generated by the impact is directly transmitted into the mysterious ant's body, and the relatively fragile internal organs in the body cavity are immediately injured, and the mysterious ant that was still alive and kicking immediately collapsed to the ground, although the vitality is strong and not dead for a while, but it is also unable to get up.
The other mysterious ants didn't take their companions seriously at all, and continued to surround them, and Mulan and the Praetorian Guards could only hold off half of the enemies for a while, and the remaining enemies actually formed a siege on the protagonist.
The protagonist deftly jumps on the back of an enemy and tries to bite the enemy's neck with a jaw knife, only to find that the enemy's carapace is far harder than he imagined.
The protagonist quickly retreats, returning to the position where he was in command.
Here, there are still six Praetorian Guards who are not moving, even if they are already in a scuffle, because they are carrying a copper hammer, the protagonist's exclusive weapon.
With the weapon in hand, the protagonist immediately increased his confidence, wielded a giant hammer like a wheel, and entered the battlefield again.
In human history, all kinds of armor in the Middle Ages in Western Europe developed to the pinnacle, almost immune to the slashing of swords, only war hammers and other weapons still maintain a strong ability to pierce armor.
The carapace of the mysterious ant cannot be compared to the steel plate armor, and several mysterious ants are quickly hammered away by the protagonist, and their bones and tendons are broken and they all collapse to the ground, not dead and crippled.
