What makes the protagonist's eyes tighten is the action that the Paving Ant Barbarian Army is doing in the moths blocked by stones.

Seeing that they are unable to pry the stones that the protagonist has put in, the enemy begins to try to widen the openings of these passages so that they can enter through the passages that emit the smell of the enemy.

Theoretically, this is a difficult task, because the ficus wood is not very tough, if not very tough, compared to other woods, and it is a very difficult building material for the ant's jaws to cut, just like the previous dilemma faced by the defenders when they wanted to expand their nests.

And in winter, the water-rich bark and xylem on the surface of the banyan tree are frozen, making it even more difficult to cut them.

However, due to the large number of such cavities, the protagonist did not carefully inspect them one by one when he stuffed the stones inside, so he was found by the paving ant barbarian army to find two suitable construction sites.

Both of these cavity entrances are somewhat decayed, and the protagonist didn't care about them before. When the paver ants found out, they immediately began to start from the decay of these holes, trying to enlarge them.

These already decaying xylem are so bad and brittle when they are frozen in the winter that the ants' jaws will be able to crush them.

The protagonist sees that one by one the paving ants take turns to move away and discard the wooden blocks that have been pried off, and the openings of the two cavities are expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the stones that were originally tightly stuffed to block the door are also a little loose.

Judging by the appearance of these holes, it does not look like they were only dug today, and the enemy may have discovered the vulnerability of this area last time and started digging. However, the protagonist and the defenders were shrunk in the nest before.,I didn't notice this problem.,If it weren't for today's protagonist taking advantage of the lack of enemy soldiers to go out to scout carefully,,It might really be caught off guard.。

The protagonist knows that today's battle will not be as good as in the past few days, and the enemy will inevitably be able to open new entrances and exits, and the defensive pressure of the Divine Envoy King's army will increase a lot.

But fortunately, in response to this possible situation, the protagonists and the two-level commanders of the army also have a plan, and there are permanent sentries behind each blocked moth, and once they find that the moths have been breached, they will immediately summon the defenders to block them.

However, there is no purpose-built battlefield behind these cavities, such as flat nests, and it is impossible to kill a large number of enemies while being defensive. The defenders could only block the door to stop the enemy's advance as much as possible, and as for the lethality, it could not be forced.

It was about noon when the entrance to the cavern was finally enlarged to a certain point, and the stones blocking the door were already a little crumbling.

The straw that broke the camel's back came from a paving ant, perhaps trying to dig a place on a rock. As soon as he climbed the rock, the doorway stone tumbled and fell under the tree, and even the paving ants that stepped on it fell down with him.

Due to their light weight, ants fell unharmed from this relative height equivalent to a nearly 100-storey skyscraper for humans.

However, his troops will not wait for this unlucky guy to return, and they can't wait to organize their troops to fight along the dug cavity into the "Waterfront City".

Although he knew that there would be sentries and defenders inside, the protagonist was still a little anxious when he saw this scene, fearing that the defenders would be caught off guard due to their lack of vigilance, and worried that they would not be able to complete the door blocking strategy, causing large casualties to the defenders. The protagonist can't wait for himself to show up quickly and then go to the killing.

However, reason finally prevails over this reckless impulse, and the protagonist quietly observes the enemy's movements.

After about a quarter of the troops of this paving ant army burrowed into the hole, they did not add more troops. This makes the protagonist breathe a sigh of relief, if the enemy is really successful in the surprise attack, then he will definitely put all his forces into it, and even call in friendly forces to help. The enemy's current situation should have been resisted by the defenders somewhere, resulting in the troops being unable to continue to enter the limited indoor space.

The army guarding the open cavity will only put in a new soldier on average every minute, which is roughly the rate of death on the front line, and judging from this speed, the Divine Envoy King's legion should have successfully completed the blockade at the passage, otherwise the attacker's mortality rate would not be so low. Correspondingly, the protagonist can also deduce that the defenders will have a lower casualty rate, which is also good news.

At about 3 p.m., the stones of the second moth were also dug up with the perseverance of the paving ants, and the enemy now had a third point of attack.

With the previous experience of false alarms, the protagonist is less nervous this time. The Divine Angel King's legion also lived up to the protagonist's expectations, and also stopped the enemy's advance at the third attack point.

The battle lasted until near dusk, and ended with the active retreat of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army. Perhaps because of the need to trek back to the north bank of the river, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army withdrew before the sun had even set, and returned to the starting base along the road they had come.

This day's war has come to an end.,Although there is sun.,But the protagonist hasn't eaten water and rice for a day.,It's also blown by the cold wind all day long.,At this time, I quickly hid in the warm "Waterfront City" to warm up and eat.。

After the break, the protagonist asks the commanders about today's battle.

Today, in the battlefield of the flat nest room, the enemy army did not play any tricks, and still attacked with the tactics of the sea of ants, but in front of the defense line of the first legion of the Divine Envoy King, who was marching step by step, the head was broken and bleeding, leaving more than a thousand corpses behind, and the losses of the first legion of the Divine Envoy King were still controlled in double digits.

However, the exchange ratio between the two cavities is not very good.

These two cavities are not far from each other, and they happen to be in the defense zone of the Fourth Legion after entering the interior of "Waterfront City". The commander of the Fourth Army, Rambotu, immediately organized the defense according to the plan, and blocked the enemy's initial offensive with a furious advance.

However, due to the constraints of the battlefield environment, Rambo was only able to prevent the troops from deploying two moths, which were not large enough in diameter for the Divine Emissary Army to spread out their lines and use razor tactics, but they were able to cause the enemy to swarm along the ground, walls, and ceilings, causing the defenders to be forced into a face-to-face tug-of-war.

The Divine Envoy King Legion has no tactical advantage, and the only thing it can rely on on the frontal battlefield is that the legion is composed of pure soldiers and ants, and it has an advantage in individual combat effectiveness.

At the end of the day, the two regiments of the enemy attacking along the two moths lost about five hundred soldiers, and the second and fourth corps also lost a hundred soldiers, which is equivalent to the total losses of the previous days.
