Chapter 152: "Tank" Project (1)

After moving to [Waterfront City], the protagonist is temporarily away from the front-line battlefield and is temporarily safe.

But the [bridgehead] is not safe yet, the Destroyers will definitely take advantage of the winter to attack the [bridgehead], this is the season when the Destroyers have the full initiative, and it is also the season when the enemy has the greatest advantage, they will not miss this winter, they will definitely want to break the deadlock and gain an advantage in the winter as they did against the Paving Ant Barbarians.

However, the protagonist has confidence in the defense of the [bridgehead], where there are five legions, accounting for nearly one-fifth of the main force of the Divine Envoy King's legion, as well as strong city defenses and sharp ballistas.

Although the Couriers are not able to travel back and forth in winter, as long as you see that the Destroyer did not attack [Waterfront City] through the rope bridge, you can know that the [Bridgehead] is still in the hands of the Divine Messenger King's legion.

If it is the other way around, it means that the [bridgehead] has been lost, and the five major armies have been wiped out. Hopefully it won't come true!

In the next few days, a more intense cold wave followed, almost not giving the slightest chance for the earth to warm up, the sky was always gloomy, and the wind and snow were violent like a typhoon transiting, but under the blessing of low temperatures, it was more destructive than a typhoon.

In such weather, even sunlight is a luxury, and even the Destroyers dare not go out, after all, they also need the protection of sunlight in winter activities.

This was a good thing for the defenders who were hiding in the warmth, the cold did not threaten them anyway, and the enemy could not attack.

With the help of bad weather, the Divine Envoy King's army is safe for the time being, and the protagonist also sleeps well for a few days, making up for the fatigue of the southern and northern wars a while ago.

I'm the dividing line

After taking a break, the protagonist quickly goes into workaholic mode again. This time, he plans to use the Destroyer and the Parasitic War Beast as imaginary enemies to develop new equipment and improve the combat effectiveness of the Divine Envoy King Legion.

Previously, the Divine Envoy King's Legion had undergone several military reforms and equipment upgrades, and had become a new army that was completely different from the traditional ant army.

Traditional ants basically rely on congenital ** to "** hand-to-hand combat", the weapons are big jaws, stinging needles, formic acid, and armor is a chitin exoskeleton. The Divine Angel King's legions, on the other hand, have weapons and long-range ballistas and slings that can inflict damage on enemies before they get close. In close combat, there are sharp copper jaws that can easily pierce the carapace of most ants.

In addition, there are beetle war beasts in the legion to assist the army in breaking through the formation, flying knights to provide reconnaissance in the air, and walnut boats to maneuver on the water. This is already a complete army of the navy, land and air force.

Even the original teacher of the Divine Envoy King Legion, the Big-headed Ant Relic Clan, only had a large number of excellent army beetle war beasts during their total victory, and they were not as good as the Divine Envoy King Legion, which had a three-dimensional and comprehensive combination of troops.

In addition, the Divine Envoy King Legion also has flexible tactics in offensive battles, such as smoke attack and water attack. In defensive warfare, trenches, ant mounds, protective nets, and underground fortifications will be built, and there will be no shortcomings at both offensive and defensive ends.

Such troops, equipment, and tactics have allowed the Divine Envoy King's legions to fight invincible opponents all over the world on both sides of the Great River, until the parasitic war beasts and destroyers appear one after another.

The number of parasitic war beasts in the swamp area is far more than in the flat area, and the swamp area is difficult to transport, and the Divine Envoy King's army is always in a state of insufficient troops. This made the Divine Envoy King Legion not dare to engage in a wild decisive battle with the parasitic forces with many war beasts.

Instead, the Divine Envoy Legion began to use new equipment such as protective nets and ballistas, and began to use defensive warfare to constantly weaken the enemy, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack. This set of tactics was successful in swampy areas.

And when dealing with the destroyer who had no war beasts but was also extremely capable in the field, the Divine Envoy King Legion naturally used this set of tactics, and also achieved certain results in the defensive battle of the [bridgehead] before the winter.

In order to adapt to the Destroyer's tactics that are very different from the parasitic beasts, the Divine Envoy King's Legion has improved its protective nets and underground fortifications to further strengthen its defensive capabilities.

But in the face of the Destroyer, defense alone is not enough.

It is true that in the defensive battle, the gods enabled the king's army to kill and injure more enemies, and it was also able to provide a steady stream of support to the mainland on the south bank of the Great River.

However, let's not forget that the Destroyer is different from the previous paving ant barbarian nations, they are not only stronger, but have also almost unified the north bank of the Great River. The area on the north bank of the Great River is larger than the south bank, and the war potential is also more abundant, and the Divine Legion cannot expect a single fortress to be able to deplete the resources of the entire north bank of the Great River.

If you want to completely defeat the Destroyer, you need to attack, constantly seize the territory of the Destroyer, annihilate the main force of the Destroyer, so that their war potential will be weakened and consumed, and our side will become stronger and stronger.

Now that the Destroyers and the remnants of the Paving Ant Barbarians have not been annihilated, many of the newly occupied lands are in ruins, and their ruling base on the north bank of the Great River is still fragile, and their war potential is insufficient. But once they recover and integrate the resources on the north bank of the Great River, it will be very difficult for the Divine Envoy King's legion to win.

Therefore, the protagonist plans that after the beginning of spring next year, he must carry out a northern expedition while defending, occupy as much land as possible on the north bank of the Great River, and at the worst plunder, plunder a large number of areas, destroy the enemy's economy, and bleed the destroyer.

However, the Destroyer's field combat ability is too strong, and except for the Beetle Legion, none of the other legions of the Divine Messenger King are able to compete with only one-tenth of the enemy in the field.

This is due to the huge difference in the physical talents of the two ants. The Big-headed Ant Soldier and the Destroyer stood side by side, and the difference in size and strength was as obvious as that of a wolf and a bear.

The slings of the Divine Envoy King Legion can effectively kill paving ants and big-headed ants, and can also entangle some larger prey, but it cannot break the defense against the destroyer, and even if it is entangled, it can be easily broken.

The Divine Angel King's bronze jaw knife can directly pierce the carapace of other ants, but in the face of the Destroyer, it can only break through by attacking the carapace cracks and joints.

The Destroyer, on the other hand, can easily cut off, bite, and tear apart the warriors of the Divine King.

The Legion of the Divine King's most effective weapon against the Destroyers is the Ballista.

There are not many ballistae now, but the protagonist can expand the production scale and get a large number of ballistas. It's just that the ballista is inconvenient to move, so it is only suitable as a defensive weapon. Even if you add wheels, you can't maneuver in the complex terrain of the insect world.

You know, even if it's an easy ant road, there are a lot of cliffs, and the wheels can't get through it at all. In the world of ants, six legs are far better than wheels.

So, the protagonist plans to improve the ballistas and attach them to a moving platform to become a mass killer that can be used in field battles!
