I have to say that the oldest Wang is still very discerning in choosing ants.

At the beginning of "Qingqiu City", the heir he chose was the senior brother, who has now taken over the position of "the oldest king" in the land controlled by the Northern Expeditionary Army on the north bank of the Great River.

Due to some special reasons, after the news provided by Da Rong, the Northern Expeditionary Army once again learned about the current situation on the south bank of the Great River. After determining that it would be difficult to cross the river to regain their homeland, the Northern Expeditionary Army had already rebuilt the system of the main nest in the land they actually controlled, including the Great King's Council, the Eldest's King, and so on.

The senior brother has begun to fulfill the duties of the oldest king, and he has performed well. Before taking over as the oldest king, his performance in the army was also remarkable, and he had accumulated merit and been promoted to the king.

And the second senior brother, the disciple chosen by the eldest king in the "real main nest" for the queen inheritance faction he is loyal to, is also one in a hundred intelligent ant talents, and the oldest king is also a best.

In order to support the front line, the second senior brother set off early in the morning with his troops, arrived at the target sub-nest in the morning, and then met with the two local ruling males and obtained the command rights. Only half a day later, the army of the Divine Envoy King had already arrived in the city.

In the final defensive battle of this sub-nest, at first, the second senior brother felt that with more than 10,000 soldiers at hand, it would be no problem to hold on.

According to the scouts, the number of enemies will not exceed 20,000 (the actual number is more than 10,000), which can be roughly judged by the length of the marching column.

The eldest king repeatedly told him not to fight in the field with the enemy, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the previous vice-nest, and the second senior brother did not understand it at first.

But on the first day of fighting, the second senior brother found that his troops had lost more than 2,000 soldiers in half a day, close to one-fifth of his entire strength. Only then did I understand the intentions of the most old king.

The second senior brother estimated that at this rate of consumption, it would not take four or five days to consume his army. Moreover, the first day was actually only a small half day of fighting, and the subsequent days of the battle will last longer and the losses will be greater.

In the evening, the second senior brother wanted to send a messenger back to the "real master's nest" to report the news, but he was surprised to find that the evil messenger king's minions did not leave, but dug earth and built a nest not far from the entrance and exit of the lair.

The Scythe Scouts of the Legion of the Divine Envoy were in charge of cutting off traffic from the target's secondary nest, and they tried to capture the three messengers who had left the nest, but only two of them were caught, and the last clever worker ant "swished" back to the underground nest.

Rolling learned about the garrison of the nest ** from the captured messenger, he is still relatively optimistic, according to the current situation, he is confident that he can conquer this secondary nest in three days, and after that, he still has two days to attack the final target - the "real main nest".

The second senior brother who received the report of the fleeing messenger was not calm, although he had no previous experience of why the enemy army did not leave at dawn, but after he sent a large number of scouts again and obtained further information with considerable losses, he finally came to his senses.

The evil god has made the king's minions build a nest next to him.

He also quickly understood that this way, the minions of the evil god envoy king did not need to spend more than half a day marching between the two secondary nests, but could devote the entire day to attacking.

This is not good news for the second senior brother, who lost nearly one-fifth of his strength in just half a day.

Fortunately, the second senior brother was originally an honor student with an active brain, and his master, the oldest Wang, was not an ant who was conservative and did not know how to be flexible.

At the time of "Qingqiu City", the eldest king had a strong curiosity about the strange practices of the Divine Envoy King of equal status, and although he could not leave the main nest, he learned about many novel practices of the Divine Envoy King through various channels - mainly the tactics of the protagonist in the first reconquest war.

In the short time of educating the second senior brother, the second senior brother also got these information packets that recorded the behavior of the divine envoy king, and had some insights.

Faced with the evil minions of the menacing Divine Envoy King, the second senior brother felt that he should do something instead of sitting idly by.

- I'm the dividing line -

The next day, when the Divine Envoy King's legion attacked the underground lair, they found that the battlefield had become even more "narrow".

It's not an illusion, it's that the battlefield has indeed narrowed.

The nest of the big-headed ant kingdom, except for the main nest, has only one entrance and one main passage for easy defense. The terrain is spacious, and it is the focus of offensive and defensive battles, and as long as they can hold the main passage steadily, the Divine Envoy King's legion can use razor tactics to continuously kill and damage enemies here.

But today, the vanguard found that the main passage was blocked by a large amount of "ant concrete", leaving only a small gap about the width of an ordinary passage.

This is the countermeasure that the second senior brother rushed to repair overnight last night. In the traditional tactics of the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom, in the face of extremely powerful enemies, or disasters such as natural fires and floods, there are also practices of sealing the nest from the inside and waiting for the crisis to pass.

The innovation made by the second senior brother is that he does not simply block the road with dirt and stones, so that it will not take long for the ants to dig up.

He chose a mixture of ants' saliva, feces, and dirt and gravel, which is "ant concrete". After a night of solidification, these "ant concrete" are very strong, even if they are not as strong as real concrete, but it is more difficult to destroy them with the ant's jaws.

Today's attack was the 7th Army Corps of the Mantis, and the troops on the front line were just burying their heads in hard work, wanting to attack from the narrow main passage, or scattering along the ordinary passage to find a new breakthrough point, and did not report the anomaly to the upper echelons in time.

In fact, the commanders at the grassroots level were unaware of the anomaly, as the Divine Envoy King Legion was usually attacked by four infantry legions in turn, except for the rolling Beetle Legion. The Praying Tiger's forces were attacking the den for the first time today, and they didn't know that the main passage was unusually "spacious" yesterday.

When it was time to collect his troops in the evening, Lambotu noticed that there were many fewer enemy corpses on the ground today than yesterday, which was unreasonable, and realized the abnormality.

As soon as several regiment commanders met, they retrieved information packets from the participating troops, and only then did they realize that something was wrong.

This roll is a little dumbfounded, today at the end of the day, only more than a thousand enemies have been destroyed, and the "razor tactics" of the Divine King Legion have been restrained by the narrow battlefield, and the power has been greatly reduced. This time, he was not confident that he would be able to conquer this place in three days.

Rambotu, as the more flexible of the five commanders, proposed that the main passage must be re-expanded in tomorrow's battle!
