Chapter 184: The Fall of [Stone Pillar City].
The protagonist's sleep seems to be very heavy, just like when he was in a coma before.
Only the protagonist himself knows that he has been deeply trapped in his dreams.
Obviously, because of the tiredness and soreness of the body, I should be able to fall into a deep sleep soon. But in fact, the protagonist's brain is not at all calm, full of images:
Sometimes it is an overwhelming number of destroyers who surround themselves and divide their bodies into thousands of pieces; Sometimes the black lines from the northern snowfields spread into a net, binding themselves firmly; Sometimes it was the head of the swamp that flew up with a grin, swallowing itself in one gulp; From time to time, a car sped by, and his body was separated by the collision, but in a blink of an eye, he saw a familiar smiling face in the car.
The protagonist sleeps very unsteadily, but his body is motionless, like a ghost pressing the bed, and even from the compound eyes that cannot be closed, it is impossible to read the protagonist's extremely violent brain fluctuations at this moment.
It is not until early in the morning that the protagonist finally escapes the nightmare, regains control of his body, and then wakes up.
The protagonist only feels that he is sweating, and his ant body does not sweat at all, and the reason why it is sweaty and damp is because the heat from the abdomen from last night's intense breathing fogged up the relatively cool surroundings. Only this tide is the only physical witness to the protagonist's nightmare last night.
The protagonist shakes his head, and the moment he wakes up, he has forgotten the contents of ninety percent of his dreams, but the rest still makes him feel bad.
The protagonist pats his head with his forelimbs and rubs his tentacles to calm himself down. Now, he is the leader of millions of ants, and he can't afford to soak in negativity for long.
I'm the dividing line
Last night, the protagonist had endured the discomfort and pain and assigned the most urgent task, this morning, the messengers who went to summon the 22nd and 23rd Legions have set off, and the new commander of the 20th Legion has also returned with the remnants to rebuild, if soon, they and the 24th Legion will return in about half a month, of course, the weapons and equipment are not yet complete.
None of the six legions led by the protagonist were equipped with bronze weapons or slings, which was a big reason why they suffered heavy battle damage against The Destroyer. But the protagonist can't quickly increase production, the current production of copper weapons has reached the limit, and even the stone weapon workshop, which has not been in operation for a long time, has restarted to provide gravel knives as a supplement.
The protagonist gets up, and his emotions finally calm down. He carefully recalled yesterday's orders, and then issued a series of instructions to check and fill in the gaps.
The defenders also suffered heavy losses in the siege that lasted for more than a week, and the nest of tens of thousands of ants was cobbled together with three garrison legions during the war, but now there are only more than 3,000 survivors left. Among them, almost all the soldier ants were killed in battle, and most of the worker ants were also injured. Only three of the five males guarding the area survived.
The protagonist summons the three surviving males and tries them out, saying that they will be incorporated into the newly created legion in the near future to serve as squad commanders.
The three males were very happy, although the actual power was reduced after becoming the squad commander, but in the hearts of the males, this was a promotion, and the "Jing Guan" and "Officer" were much stronger than the "Local Official" in their hearts.
After soothing the three male ants, the protagonist asks them to quickly repair their defenses, and the defenses built in the previous civil war against the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom have played a huge role in dealing with the Destroyer, but they have also exposed their shortcomings.
The protagonist asked the underground defense facilities to be built according to the style, and when the two ballistae of the main nest arrived, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention impregnable.
I'm the dividing line
At noon, the 22nd and 23rd Legions left behind in the camp finally arrived, and there are now four field legions here, plus the original defenders, a total of nearly 10,000 soldiers, which makes the protagonist a little relieved.
In the afternoon, a convoy sent by the main nest arrived with a shipment of grain and parts for two ballistas.
The amount of grain stored in the interior was acceptable, but there was also a lot of damage and consumption during the war. After the addition of four new legions to the garrison, food was also tight, and a batch of supplies was brought in at this time to solve the urgent need.
After the two ballistas were assembled, they were placed in the preset battlefield of the newly constructed underground defenses. Due to the tight schedule, at the end of the day, only one preset battlefield was built at the entrance.
I'm the dividing line
Shortly after the protagonist is a little relieved, he receives bad news.
Since the protagonist's existing flying knights are all invested in the area, the battle lines in other places are only occasionally patronized by flying knights, and it is inevitable that the information will not be transmitted in time.
Just now, a flying knight who went to the southwest reported that he had fallen yesterday.
The protagonist is shocked, as is the fortress where the Destroyer is concentrating his forces on a massive attack. When the protagonist personally leads the army to the rescue, he also asks the nearby lair to form a coalition to relieve the siege.
Previously, the protagonist received a report from the messenger that more than 20 nearby lairs had formed an army of 20,000 and had marched to the battlefield.
Although the 20,000 troops were also cobbled together, four of them were to be formed as field legions, and they had an absolute numerical advantage in the face of more than 2,000 destroyers besieging the city.
Even if they can't break the siege, they won't fail so quickly and let them fall easily. You must know that the terrain is complex, and it is the main nest that the queen ant inheritance faction has been operating for a long time, with complete defenses and many ant mouths. If there are friendly forces on the periphery, it will be difficult to conquer.
The Flying Knights only brought back a simple tip, and soon they flew to the southwest under the orders of the protagonist, bringing back a messenger who knew about the war.
The courier gets a packet of messages from the female ant, which gives the protagonist an idea of the battle.
It turned out that after the coalition forces of the Divine Envoy King arrived on the periphery, they did attract the main force of the Destroyer for a short time, making it impossible for them to attack the city.
Fighting broke out between the two sides for two days in a row, and although the coalition forces suffered heavy losses, they also managed to meet the defenders.
To the surprise of the coalition forces, on the third day, a group of thousands of destroyers attacked the formation of the coalition forces that were fighting from the rear, which directly led to the collapse of the coalition forces from the front and rear.
This group of Destroyers was formed by a small group of Destroyers who were originally besieging and waiting for the lair, and they suddenly arrived here.
After the rout of the coalition forces, the internal and external difficulties were finally lost!
