Although the boulder blocked the road for the time being, the method of blocking the door was only a stopgap measure.

Soon, the protagonist's tentacles leaning against the dirt wall feel the sound of digging in the soil, which is the Destroyer digging in the dirt, trying to dig a way from the side of the large rock.

It's the instinct of ants, knowing that behind the rocks is the target, they will patrol the road on their own, and dig one if there is no road.

However, the Destroyer's long, curved, and sharp jaws like the Scythe of Death are very powerful in combat, and they can easily cut other ants in half. But this pair of big jaws is not very easy to use as a shovel to dig the soil, just like holding two sharp sickles to dig the soil, it can only be half the effort.

The protagonist's tentacles paused for a moment, and he didn't feel the sound of the enemy digging too closely, exposing the enemy's underground digging efficiency.

However, the protagonist still prepares for a rainy day and begins to organize a new defense system to deal with the enemy's attack after digging through.

Now the protagonist and the soldiers around him are in a position of a long and narrow passage, and the troops cannot be deployed, which is not conducive to defense. And they couldn't retreat, not far behind them was the second preset battlefield defense line under construction, the unfinished and unusable defense line.

The protagonist can only ask the warriors around him to expand the part of this passage a little, forming a nest that can accommodate more warriors in order to form a temporary defense line.

The Big-Headed Ants dig up the dirt much faster than the Destroyer, and they are good at civil construction, and in less than half an hour, a large nest that the protagonist wants is excavated.

At this time, the Destroyers had not yet dug through the short distance blocked by the boulder, and judging by the sound, they were only about half the way through.

At the same time, the protagonist also asked his subordinates to find long sticks and some larger stones, and the ballistas were also erected in the nest, and the temporary defensive position was completed.

It is only when the first Destroyer finally finds out the path that he has managed to dig up covered in dust that the protagonist realizes that the ballista does not need to be fired at all.

These destroyers, who are not good at earthwork, dug the passage too narrowly, and when its head poked out, its body was still trapped in the passage and could not move, and the protagonist struck it on the head with a long stick, knocking it out in two or three strokes.

The corpse of the Destroyer blocked the passage that had just been dug up, and the big-headed ants repeated their old tricks, dragging the corpse of the Destroyer to prevent the Destroyer from clearing the obstacle behind them.

The defenders managed to delay for a little longer, but the Destroyer apparently dug more than one path, and slowly, two or three more passages were dug along the blocked boulders.

Fortunately, these roads were still narrow, and the smoothest destroyer only burrowed most of his body before being bitten to death by the besieging Divine Envoy King warriors.

The protagonist is now worried about the boulder blocking the road, as the soil around it is dug loose, the boulder also seems to be loose, in case the boulder rolls down, a large group of destroyers immediately follow the reopened road to kill, at that time, only a ballista and more than a hundred warriors around him can absolutely not resist.

Sure enough, after a while, the boulder began to shake, and it was inconspicuous at first, and the protagonist thought it was his own delusion. But after a while, the shaking became violent, and it seemed as if a Destroyer was straining at the stone.

The protagonist reaches over his long stick, one end against the boulder, and the other end on the ground, stabilizing the Blockstone Destroyer, no matter how strong he is, he doesn't want to break the sturdy stick.

But in this way, the protagonist also loses the long weapon he has in hand. Such sticks are inconvenient to carry and store in the lair, and when the protagonist was unconscious, the guards around him only brought one into the lair.

The destroyers who poured out one after another could only rely on the Divine Envoy King warriors to defend themselves, but fortunately, when the enemy came out, they were trapped in their actions, and the Divine Envoy King warriors only needed to be patient and not rush up to send the heads of the enemy when their heads just stretched out.

Once the Destroyer is half out of its body, the Divine Angel King warriors can draw the attention of his jaws while the soldiers on the side take the opportunity to go around and bite at his fragile neck.

The battle was scorching in front of this makeshift line of defense, and the general pressure on the defenders was increasing as more and more passages were dug and widened.

Even if the Divine Messenger King warriors can temporarily block some passages with the help of "tug-of-war", the Destroyers will not hesitate to destroy the corpses of their companions to reopen the way.

The soldiers around the protagonist also suffered casualties one after another, and when it was most critical, they had to rely on ballistas to save the scene. Shooting at such a close range is like firing a pistol from the head, and it can always repel the enemy accurately and ruthlessly.

The protagonist's biological clock instinct is not very strong, but when he asks the soldier ants around him, he knows that it is not far from the sun going down. Although it is the end of February, the sun is still completely buried in the horizon before 6 o'clock.

Sure enough, after holding on for about half an hour, the Destroyers finally didn't come out one after another.

The protagonist cautiously sends a handful of scouts to reconnoiter and confirm that the enemy has withdrawn to the ground.

But even at night, the enemy continues to surround [Trench City], lurking under fallen leaves, in grass, and leeward of stones on the lair floor, and will be ambushed if the defenders try to go out.

The protagonist orders his men to clean up the battlefield and block the tunnels that have been dug out, while he himself moves away from the crumbling boulders.

I'm the dividing line

The protagonist went to bed early tonight, and the continuous combat consumption made him have to replenish his physical energy efficiently, and there is no better way to replenish it than to sleep.

However, at night, the protagonist is woken up again, and the Destroyers launch a night attack.

This time the defenders were on alert, and the Destroyer had also launched a night attack during the siege of [Trench City], and the protagonist's troops were also heavily damaged by the night attack in the camp, so even at night there were sentinels and defensive troops.

The Destroyers, who attacked at night, were held back by ballistas and defenders in the first predetermined battleground, and retreated when they saw that they could not take advantage of it.

But this night attack has already stirred up the protagonist to get up, he inspects the defense line, and struggles to hold on to the meritorious warriors before returning to make up for sleep.

I'm the dividing line

The next day, the enemy continued to attack, and the defenders responded more calmly because the preset battlefield of the second line of defense had been built.

The Destroyer has always been trapped in narrow terrain and cannot use its melee advantage, and it is almost impossible to capture [Trench City], but the defenders have not been able to destroy the siege with a large number of enemies.

The two sides are at a stalemate, but the protagonist does not seem to be anxious.
