Chapter 233: The Last Hold (1)

Ever since he led the remnants of the army back to his lair from the ground battlefield of the Shura Field, Roll has been very frustrated, staying in his dormitory and not coming out.

It is said to be a dormitory, but because the entire nest has been improved in the direction of the fortress, a large number of nests have been converted into workshops and granaries, even deep underground where male ants and queens live.

Most of the original dormitories were also requisitioned, leaving him with only a single larger nest, which was not as luxurious as the dormitories built by the protagonist for a few cronies in [Dongyang City].

Even if the king of the gods came to visit in person, the mood of the roll did not get any better, and the protagonist was able to understand that the loss of a force that he had poured a lot of effort into and could not recover in a short period of time was indeed difficult to accept, which is a knot that commanders will have.

The protagonist also knows another reason for Roll's frustration: the ant queen who had participated in the first wedding ceremony organized by the Divine Angel King's legion and became the girl's companion with Roll; It was also the brave little female ant who was attacked on the way from [Dongyang City] to [Qingqiu City] and fought side by side with Roll.

She's dead!

And at the hands of the Destroyer!

Originally, after mating with Roll, this queen stayed in [Dongyang City] for a long time, and later transferred to [Linshui City] as needed.

With the fall of [Waterfront City] some time ago, all the ants inside have obviously suffered misfortune, and this queen ant will not be an exception.

Unlike the previous male ants who patted their butts after mating and pursued their careers, the experience of sharing hardships made Roll have different feelings for himself, a one-time mating partner.

And within the Divine Envoy King Legion, the status of each class is relatively more equal than in the old Big-headed Ant Kingdom, after all, the protagonist has been pushing for class equality, and has also single-handedly supported the large worker ant class, and even finally parted ways with male ants like Flyhawk for this reason.

Roll was obviously affected to some extent, and he had a special affection for the queen ant.

So when I learned of the death of the queen ant, although I didn't show it, the protagonist was able to understand her mood, the emotions in the human world are much more complex than in the ant world, and the protagonist watched the roll, just like an adult saw the emotional world of a child, and saw it very clearly.

Roll hopes to avenge the queen ant in battle, but today's battle sadly makes him sad to find that he doesn't even have the ability to take revenge.

The protagonist can't persuade too much, even the emotions of ants, after having wisdom, are not black and white, but show quantum-like uncertainty.

Simply comforted the protagonist, who was already exhausted by the war, couldn't bear it himself, and hurried back to rest.

- I'm the dividing line -

In the days that followed, the Destroyers launched a tidal onensive.

They attacked along all entrances and passages, but were kept out by one ballista-dominated line after another.

The few surviving White-bellied Destroyers have launched a few sporadic blasting offensives.

Some of these blasts were carried out outside the anthill, and the Destroyer blasted a new hole in, which did catch the defenders by surprise at first.

But after discovering that the White-bellied Destroyer has not been completely wiped out, and that there are still a few fish that have slipped through the net, and that the enemy's explosion will inevitably come sooner or later, the protagonist has already formulated a response strategy.

All the preset positions guarded by ballistas were arteries of two or three or more passages.

Once a new gap appears in one place due to the explosion, the nearby defenders will resist for a period of time to facilitate the retreat of the non-combat ants behind to carry supplies, larvae, etc.

The defenders would then retreat, retreating to the intersection and building a new line of defense with their ballistas, rather than fighting to the death.

As a result, even though the Destroyers blew up several breaches, they still couldn't go far into the underground lair.

There are also explosions that cause significant damage, with armies of Destroyers sending white-bellied Destroyers deep underground to blow themselves up in front of ballista positions that cannot be breached.

While the defenders' ballistas will prioritize the rushing White-bellied Destroyer, there are a few enemies who burst into the right distance to explode under the cover of the guards.

In the cramped underground nest room, the power of the blast wave is magnified exponentially, and the shock wave can even affect several nests behind.

The ballista position, even if it was covered by an obstacle such as a breastwork, was completely destroyed in the explosion.

On April 26 alone, 4 ballistae were destroyed.

Fortunately, the underground defenses of [Qingqiu City] were already arranged in depth, and even if one or two lines of defense were lost, the positions behind them would be able to block the attack of the destroyers.

As for the lost ballista, most of the parts were salvaged and repaired in workshops deep underground.

There are also special ballista workshops, which use materials such as wood, ant glue, ant silk, and insect tendons that were urgently stored before the war, and step up production at a rate of one per day, replenishing the battle damage, and also making the defense line more and more deep.

The Destroyer had failed to achieve a big victory despite all his might, and the nest seemed unlike any of the nests they had conquered before, so tenacious that the Destroyer seemed to lose sight of victory.

However, starting on April 26, the Destroyers also changed their tactics, and they no longer retreated underground at dusk, leaving the underground space occupied by the troops to defend.

By the night of April 26, the defensive battle of [Qingqiu City] had lasted for four days.

The Destroyer's new tactics caused some trouble for the defenders, as they were able to regain lost positions every night and repair fortifications damaged during the day, leaving the Destroyer to start their daily attacks from scratch.

But now, the Night God makes it impossible for the warriors of the Night King to regain lost ground from their formidable enemies, unless they are willing to make unbearable sacrifices.

In this way, the destroyer paid at least 5,000 casualties, but finally took control of the scattered lot of a dozen nests under [Qingqiu City], and made initial progress.

- I'm the dividing line -

The fighting continued for another three days, culminating in the last day of April.

Throughout the month of April, the Divine Envoy King's army suffered a sharp deterioration in the battle, from a complacent counterattack to the loss of the city after the collapse of the Great River Defense Line, and finally managed to stabilize the defense line in [Qingqiu City] and buy time for the evacuation of the rear.

But today, [Qingqiu City] is in crisis again.

The Flying Knights, who set out early in the morning, found that thousands of white-bellied destroyers had once again poured into the north.

The Flying Knights had planned to report this information when they returned to the nest at night, and asked the Divine Envoy King to decide what to do.

But this time, the White-bellied Destroyer came extremely quickly, and was only discovered in the early morning at a distance from [Qingqiu City], but it had already arrived at the battlefield at noon, and then went into battle without stopping.
