Chapter 122: General Attack

At this point, the protagonist has determined that the official name of the mysterious ant is "The Destroyer", in fact, this name is also meaningful to the protagonist himself, and the ants' "brain language" has long been used to refer to the Destroyer.

The protagonist had always felt that the name of the mysterious ant was too informal, but now it finally has an "official name" of its own!

- I'm the dividing line -

In the early hours of this morning, the Northern Expeditionary Force rejected the offer of the protagonist who came from afar, and [Target A] was still surrounded by the Destroyer.

However, the Destroyer did not rush to annihilate the last main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, they divided their troops and raided various places, and some of the troops were transferred back.

According to the reports of the Flying Knights who set out from [Waterfront City], the Destroyers have appeared all over the territory of the King's Council faction, and even near their main lair, there are Destroyer armies.

The factions of the Great King's Council can no longer muster many troops to resist, and they are barely able to make up a rabble, lacking soldiers and major generals.

The fall of the main nest of the King's Council faction is entirely dependent on when the Destroyer attacks, and the death knell of destruction will sound at any time.

The Destroyers do not seem to have the reckless tactics of other ant races, often pausing their attacks when the situation is unfavorable or the timing is not right, and they also prefer to make a wide range of strategic maneuvers to attack the enemy's weak points, rather than fighting on a battlefield until the blood is flowing and the corpses are scattered all over the field.

From a purely tactical point of view, the Destroyer is more than one level stronger than the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom and the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom, and it is logical that it can crush the Paving Ant Barbarian Army or the Great King's Conference faction.

This time, after defeating the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Destroyers were not in a hurry to destroy the remnants of their strength that were still capable of fighting a battle, but immediately divided their forces to attack the weakly defended sub-nests, fundamentally disintegrating the resistance potential of the King's Council faction and isolating the connection between its army and territory.

This set of tactics is extremely effective against the Paving Ant Barbarian Country, which has a vast territory and many ant mouths, and is dismembered little by little. Now against the King's Council faction, this tactic works as well.

If the mysterious ants don't do this, when the new main nest of the King's Council faction eases up, they can draw new troops from all over the country and drag the battle back into the phase of stalemate attrition.

While there was no doubt about the Destroyer's strength to achieve ultimate victory, they had clearly chosen the quicker approach.

Once the new main nest of the King's Conference faction falls, [Target A], who is already alone, will also be doomed!

Although the protagonist regrets it, since the public security king has rejected his kindness, he has to suffer the consequences of his choice.

The Destroyer is an extremely difficult enemy that the Divine Legion has never encountered, and the protagonist begins to focus on how to defend himself against the Destroyer's attacks in winter.

In previous winters, the enemy on the front line of [Waterfront City] was the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, but this year it will be an even more powerful and terrifying Destroyer.

- I'm the dividing line -

For the next few days, the protagonist continued to stay in [the bridgehead], supervising the construction of the fortifications of the fortress, and now, except for the underground part, the entire fortress has been basically completed.

In the past few days, neither the [bridgehead] that the Divine Envoy King's legion is heavily guarding, nor the [Target A] that is the last elite of the Northern Expeditionary Army, or the new main nest of the King's Council faction, has not been attacked by the Destroyer.

Except for those battles that broke into small forces and attacked the deputy nests of the Great King's Council faction everywhere, the entire area along the north bank of the Great River was unusually calm.

However, the protagonist also knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

According to the Flying Knights' scouting, the Destroyers are gathering forces to intensify the siege of the new main nest of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army (formerly the Eastern Nest).

After severing the connection between the new main nest and a large number of territories in the central and western parts of the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom, the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom has actually been divided into two separate parts, each with a king's meeting and an army.

It's just that the eastern faction of the former Eastern branch has more elite troops, but lacks strategic depth and economic supplies; Although the Western factions control a vast territory, the army is improvised and cobbled, but the Destroyers are not in a hurry to attack the Western factions, and they can survive.

The Destroyers have successively cut off the secondary nests around the main nest of the Eastern faction (formerly the eastern nest), and tens of thousands of troops have besieged the main nest in three layers like iron buckets.

Because of the lack of food, the paving ant barbarian army of the eastern faction knew that the field battle was not good for their side, and they had to attack one after another every day.

At first, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army of the Eastern Faction also planned to recover a few nearby sub-nests that were rich in resources, but after several days of defeat, they had changed their strategy and only wanted to take advantage of the battle to cover the rest of the troops to take the opportunity to collect some food near the main nest.

They even hoped to reduce the number of hungry warriors by fighting, and to use the corpses of the dead warriors as a supplement for food.

Only the corpses of soldiers killed in battle are the only stable source of food for the main nest of the Eastern faction. I knew that drinking water quenched my thirst, but I had to do it.

After a period of attrition, the main nest of the Eastern factions has been greatly weakened, and the Destroyer who has achieved its goal has begun to gather troops and prepare for a general attack.

The Destroyer's partial divisional troops, which had fought against the King's Council faction, were also transferred back a lot, so that the place became peaceful for the time being.

And on October 3rd, when the protagonist crossed out the 2nd day on the calendar he made, the Flying Knights reported that the Destroyer had officially launched an attack on the main nest of the Eastern faction of the Paving Ant Barbarian.

The protagonist looks at the packet.

I saw that from the sky, the forces of the black and swarthy destroyers, like countless small streams, converged on the main lair of the eastern faction from all sides.

The Destroyers cut through the sand, crawled over blades of grass, emerged from under the trees, and were everywhere.

Like a tide that can drown life, like a wildfire that can burn everything, like a virus that can kill life, everywhere it goes, not a single grass grows.

The main nest of the Eastern faction of the Paving Ant Barbarian Country, the original tall and majestic castle built on rocks and mounds, is larger than any castle in the human world, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But it was this majestic castle, with its lofty and steep mountain in the eyes of ants, that was quickly overwhelmed by the Destroyer.

Countless Destroyers have gathered here from all directions, burrowing into the lair from any entrance, whether it is at the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside, or at the top of the mountain, as long as there is an entrance, there is a pace of the Destroyer's attack.

Floods have flooded mountain tops, wildfires have burned peaks, and viruses are raging in the castle. The castle, which was originally majestic and erect, seems to be the perfect sound for a generation of overlords!
