The fourth attack of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army was really a bit anticlimactic.

In fact, since the protagonist has been watching the enemy's foraging operations today, although it is not realistic, it also takes up a lot of time, so he basically does not pay attention to this side of the battlefield. Today's battle was relayed to him by the other males who participated in the battle at the regular meeting afterwards.

The Paving Ant Barbarian Army apparently didn't pry open the protagonist's newly blocked stone block at the entrance of the moth, so they only came in through the main entrance today and had some combat with the Second Legion of the Divine Envoy King. The Fourth Army was in a state of idleness as a whole.

Moreover, according to Rambofo's account, the enemy's desire to fight today does not seem to be very strong, the intensity of the assault launched is not large, and the number of troops invested at one time is very limited, so the defense line has hardly been tested much.

At the end of the day, only ten soldiers were killed in the Second Army, and the enemy was only two or three hundred, a new low since the winter defensive battle, and it also confirmed the statement of the front-line troops that the enemy army did not have too strong desire to fight today.

The protagonist is puzzled, what is the reason for this situation? And what does it portend?

If the enemy is hungry and the combat effectiveness is reduced, this explanation is barely working, and the enemy will certainly not have much strength to pry open the rocks blocking the moth. Although the protagonist does not know much about the enemy's logistics, judging from the harsh weather and the fact that the main enemy army is busy foraging, this speculation is not unfounded.

But what if the enemy is ready to play some intrigues? After all, if something is abnormal, it must be a demon!

What would I do if I were the commander of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army and faced the "Waterfront City" that was as difficult to conquer as a stone?

Does this move of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army mean that they are no longer interested in attacking the goal of "Waterfront City"? If this is the case, does it mean that the Paving Ant Barbarian Army has abandoned this year's offensive plan, and then their offensive this winter is ready to end here?

The protagonist quickly vetoed this speculation, the paving ant barbarian and the big-headed ant are unending rivals, due to the large river barrier, the paving ant barbarian army only has the only chance to attack and kill the living force of the big-headed ant kingdom in winter, with the aggressive nature of the ants, they should not be able to give up this season that is most beneficial to them.

The protagonist immediately summons all of his trusted commanders and informs them of the latest situation. However, no outcome was discussed.

- I'm the dividing line -

Soon, the protagonist will no longer have to guess where the enemy will move next.

The next day, the protagonist continues to look at the north bank of the river after sunrise, and the enemy army is still out in the sun at this time to recharge.

As is customary, after the charge is completed, more or less enemy troops will march towards the island and launch a routine attack on the "Waterfront City".

The protagonist is not worried about the defense ability of "Waterfront City" at all, as long as he sticks to the city, he can limit the use of the enemy's strength advantage, and the army of the god can hold this place until the destruction of the world.

But today, the enemy's actions are not as the protagonist guesses. After charging up, the enemies instead burrowed back to their underground starting base.

The protagonist immediately stares at the distance with wide eyes, although they are more than twenty meters apart, it is still obvious that there is a "carpet" composed of paver ants on the ground, and this "carpet" is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye - if there are no paver ants going in other directions, then they can only burrow into the ground.

This new move makes the protagonist curious, and he doesn't feel that there is any threat to the "Waterfront City" with this move, because it is impossible for the enemy to dig a path from the ground to the island, in which case the unfrozen water and underground water at the bottom of the river are insurmountable obstacles for them.

And in doing so, even if a road to the island is dug up, the enemy will still have to face the perfect city defense facilities of the "Waterfront City", which is completely meaningless.

Soon, the enemy reveals the answer that the protagonist desperately wants to know.

As a large number of paver ants burrow into the ground, the "carpet" of paver ants on the ground has shrunk to its original size.

At this time, another black line came out of the departure base, twisting and stretching diagonally to the west.

This is supposed to be a line of paving ants in a row, they don't have a battle formation in a phalanx, it doesn't look like they're going to fight, and whether they are carrying something, the protagonists are too far away to see clearly.

It can only be known that this unit is moving westward, and because the weather has been good in recent days, the sun is very strong, and the temperature is not low, so much of the original thin snow has melted. The Paving Ant Barbarian army tries to avoid the snowy area, marching on bare earth and rocks, and soon burrows into a dry bush, leaving the protagonist unable to track their movements.

However, the black lines coming out of the temporary base were endless, and by this time the patches of paving ants on the ground had disappeared, but the team moving west had not been interrupted. From morning to afternoon, the protagonist keeps a close eye on it, knowing that around two o'clock in the afternoon, the black line will come to an end.

After waiting for another half hour, the protagonist notices that there are no new paving ants coming out of the enemy's temporary departure base, and it looks like a person has gone to the nest.

Paving ants withdrew? The protagonist had this conjecture when he observed it before, after all, judging from the numbers, the enemies should almost pour out, and even if there are left, there will only be a few.

Where did the enemy go? This is the second question that the protagonist needs to consider, in terms of direction, instead of withdrawing to the main nest in the north, they are moving towards the west.

What is there on the west side? The protagonist immediately comes to his senses.

"Waterfront City" is the easternmost of the several secondary nests of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom along the riverbank, because it is closest to the main nest of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, and because it is located in the middle of the small island in the river, it is also the closest to the north bank of the river, so it is the enemy's priority target every year.

However, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army does not have to capture this secondary nest, along the big river, there are several secondary nests in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom located on the south bank, and the enemy can completely divert the target.

The protagonist can't help but worry about the defenders of these secondary nests, although these secondary nests have also strengthened their defenses this year, and the king of the main nest of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom is stationed with his legions. However, the combat effectiveness of these legions, as well as the number of defenders, are not as good as those of Waterfront City, and they are not aware that the enemy has adopted a new method of warfare this year.

And in two of the sub-nests, there are also public security and Western kings who have a good personal relationship with the protagonist.

Will they be able to hold back the enemy's attack, and will they be able to keep themselves safe?
