Chapter 173: Fortress Battle (19)

Rambovan anxiously waited for the reward ahead.

After confirming that there was no main force of the enemy under the first wall, except for a few enemy troops who were roaming and launching a diversionary attack. He decisively dispatched a third of his troops to try to regain the position on the east side of the first wall that had been broken by the enemy.

Soon after, a messenger sent by the Second Legion Rambopho brought in their movements.

The commanders of the two legions coincided, and without the latest instructions from the Divine Messenger King, they could not abandon the remaining positions, so they could only draw a part of their forces to attack the flanks of the parasitic ant army from two directions, so as to relieve the defensive pressure of the first legion as much as possible.

The information from the front was not optimistic, and the Second and Third Army Corps gradually invested more and more troops, but they were unable to crush the outnumbered enemy forces.

And the news from the First Army showed that they had suffered heavy losses and were now barely able to hold the line from collapsing.

Just as Rambovan was anxious, he felt the sound of vibrations in the air behind him.

As soon as Rambovan turned around, he saw a flying knight landing behind him.

However, Rambovan didn't pay any attention to the flying knight, and all his attention was drawn to the other male ant on the fly mount.

That's the main character, he's a little sluggish at the moment, but there's no sign of injury all over his body. Mulan helped him get off the mount together.

When rescuing the protagonist, the flying knight eventually chooses to have his mount stop on the vertical plane of the wall. Flies have this ability to stay in the vertical plane. Later, the Praetorian Guards try to get the protagonist and Mulan onto the Flying Knight's mount that is perched high above their heads, helping them escape.

As for the other Praetorian Guards, the last thing the protagonist sees is the heroic sight of the Flying Knights reflexively killing the enemy army a hundred times and a thousand times their own when they fly into the sky.

The protagonist is in a bad mood now, the battle is even more tragic than expected, the appearance of parasitic dung beetles is far more than expected, and the direct and potential losses caused to the Divine Envoy King's legion are also shocking, and even his own Praetorian Guard team has been wiped out.

But now he can't be discouraged, the battle continues, and he has an obligation to give these brave warriors the victory they deserve, and the hope of living as long as possible.

The fly carries three ants and flies flexibly in the sky, and the protagonist orders the flying knight to fly around the battlefield at high altitude and learns about the overall situation of the battlefield.

Subsequently, the Flying Knight was ordered to land in the positions of the Third Legion.

The protagonist has now slowly recovered from the sequelae, and although he is still a little tired and sluggish, he has been able to move on his own, which is much faster than when he first had the sequelae.

Instead of being polite to Rambovan, the protagonist immediately gives him orders and asks for command of the six squads of the Third Legion.

The protagonist orders the six squads, under the command of one of the most senior kings, to leave the fortress and attack the position of the pale gold worker ants hiding far away from the edge of the battlefield.

Rambovan, on the other hand, personally led the main force of the Third Army and continued to attack the army of parasitic ants blocking the gap in the second wall.

As for the small number of parasitic ants that were walking down the first wall, the Third Legion left only two squads as surveillance.

Later, the protagonist mounts the Flying Knight's mount and arrives at the Second Legion's station, giving instructions to Rambofo as well.

In addition to having Rambofo leave two squads to monitor the enemy and contain the troops, and to send the main force to continue to flank the enemy forces, the protagonist also asks for the command of six squads.

These six squads are sent by the protagonist to Roll's command to replenish his reserves.

Then the protagonist also came to the position of rolling, and the roll who dutifully stabilized the position was rewarded by the protagonist. And what makes him even more overjoyed is that the protagonist tells him that the time for a counterattack will come soon.

The return of the Divine Envoy King boosted the morale of the three legions, and with the unified command, the Divine Envoy King's legions were finally able to exert 100% combat effectiveness.

The First Legion first took cover alternately, voluntarily withdrawing from the battle line that had been stabilized by sacrificing a large number of elite soldiers.

This is not a retreat, but a retreat. The First Army re-established a concave arc on the platform inside the breach. The terrain here is flat, which is more conducive to the Divine Envoy King's legion to play a tactical advantage.

In this way, the parasitic ants must first climb through the gaps in the rugged walls, and the scattered parasitic ant warriors who have just climbed out of the gaps must also face the flanking attacks of the Divine Envoy King legions that surround them from three directions, as well as the threat of ranged troops constantly firing from the rear of the formation.

After the First Legion changed its defensive tactics, the losses of the Parasitic Ant Warriors rose rapidly, and the Silk Worm Parasite struggled to support them through the rugged breach area.

The line of defense against the gap in the wall was stabilized, and the living forces of the enemy army began to be killed and wounded in large numbers.

But in this way, the army of the Divine Envoy also paid other costs: the walls on both sides of the gap had to face the attack of the enemy forces from outside, and when the gap was voluntarily abandoned, the walls above the two gaps had to face the enemy's attack on three sides.

At first, the protagonist also wants to keep these two sections of the wall, which are the commanding heights overlooking the gap, and the tactical significance is important. However, after suffering heavy casualties, the defenders of the Divine King's legion there were all wiped out, and two points were lost.

Although this is not planned by the protagonist, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is very common for situations to exceed expectations, so the important thing is how to respond.

Undeterred, the protagonist immediately assigns a squad of warriors to support the city walls, assisting the other defenders of the city walls, and using the narrow platform of the walls to build a defensive line.

After taking away the two sections of the wall at the gap in the wall, the parasitic ants only stationed part of their forces to defend, and did not continue to follow the second wall to expand the breach, which also gave the fortress defenders on the wall a chance to breathe.

The main direction of attack of the parasitic ant army is still the gap, even if this area is extremely rugged, but the gap of half a centimeter is still enough for the parasitic ants to continue to invest their strength and directly attack the core of the fortress beyond the city wall.

As more and more parasitic ants crawled through the gap, the First Legion, which relied on a tight formation defense, began to be tested again. The warriors of the Divine Envoy King, who had been fighting fiercely for a long time, had almost reached the limit of their physical strength, and their opponents seemed to be endless, and as soon as they killed a batch, a new batch would rush up again.

Rolling had already put all the reserves at hand, including the six squads supported by the Second Legion, and now he had no cards to play.

The protagonist keeps looking to the east, though he can't see anything through the walls.
