The ballista brought from the [Trench City] is not comparable to the power of the smaller version of the ballista on the "tank", but it has a longer range and more power, because it controls more ants and has a faster rate of fire.

After sacrificing range to fire larger stone projectiles, the already dense Destroyer's army suffered heavy losses from the rain of bullets.

Stone projectiles pierced and ricocheted through the Destroyer, and the shattered Destroyer's sturdy outer carapace splattered like cannonball fragments, cutting off the tentacles of their companions and blinding their compound eyes. Nearly every stone projectile caused double-digit casualties.

One of the two remaining Destroyer commanders was also killed by the stone bombardment, and the other commander lost contact with the deceased, and when the situation was not good, he gave the order to break out in the manner unique to the Destroyer.

But it could only command five hundred destroyers relatively smoothly, and the rest of them were running around like headless flies, but they didn't care.

The protagonist soon notices the Destroyers who have broken through in formation, and the stone bullets frantically beckoning here, and the three main legions under the command of Rolling also do their best to intercept this enemy army, and those who have no command and break through sporadically are handed over to the defenders of [Trench City] and the Hunter Scythe Warriors to deal with.

The Divine Messenger King's Legion was lucky, another stone bullet killed the last commander hidden in the middle of the Destroyer, and the Destroyers completely lost their wisdom, and the threat was greatly reduced under the scattered sand, and they no longer maintained a tight formation, giving the Divine Envoy King's Legion a chance to divide and encircle.

The destroyer who has lost his command can only rely on the strong **, but the God King Legion has even dealt with the more powerful praying mantis and locusts, so naturally he will not be afraid.

After a great battle, the Divine Envoy King legion

Finally annihilated this force of 1,500 Destroyers, which was the largest number of enemies destroyed by the Divine King's army in a field battle, and also gave the protagonist more confidence that at the very least, the Destroyers were not invincible in the field.

Of course, for this victory, the Divine Envoy King Legion also paid a lot of losses.

Although the defenders of [Trench City] did not suffer much damage in the defensive battle and the subsequent siege and annihilation on the ground, they lost one or two hundred soldiers.

But the four main legions led by Roll all suffered varying degrees of losses, and even a little bit broken.

Among them, the 1st Legion lost more than 400 soldiers, lost a large two-pronged rhino beetle and seven medium-sized beetles, and wounded hundreds of soldiers and two medium-sized beetles.

This legion is now the protagonist's heart, and nearly a fifth of the elite warriors and beetles were lost in a single battle, which really distressed the protagonist.

Fortunately, after the beginning of spring, new beetles continue to hatch in the beetle farms in [Dongyang City] and [Qingqiu City], and the battle damage of the 1st Legion can be made up in about half a month to a month, which makes the protagonist a little relieved.

But the protagonist is not ready to use the only beetle army easily, and the protagonist immediately orders the rolling army to return to [Qingqiu City] to rest and recuperate, replenish the warriors, and give priority to the newly hatched beetles in order to recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

As for the other legions, the 7th and 8th legions each lost six or seven hundred soldiers, and the proportion of battle losses was as high as a quarter. The 14th Legion's Hunting Scythe also lost more than 300 of them, most of which were lost in battle while encircling the enemy and breaking through.

Destroying this enemy army of fifteen hundred destroyers, the main force of the Divine Envoy King's legion also paid the price of more than two thousand casualties.

The protagonist temporarily left the 7th, 8th, and 14th Legions in [Trench City], and transferred some of the soldiers of the 19th Legion and the 21st Legion who had suffered large losses in the original [Trench City] to the 7th and 8th Legions, and used the bronze jaws of the dead soldiers to fully equip the two main legions. Subsequently, the protagonist also transferred the 19th and 21st Legions back to the main nest [Qingqiu City] for reorganization.

In this way, the protagonist has four more mobile troops under his command of the Big-headed Ant Legion and a Scythe Hunter Ant Legion.

All participating units were rewarded with Honeydew, and the troops returning to [Qingqiu City] received the reward there, while the Honeydew inventory in [Trench City] was insufficient and could only be owed first.

At this moment, the garrison of [Trench City] is cleaning up the battlefield, and it is a big project to dispose of so many corpses at once, and to dissect the corpse of the Destroyer and remove the mystery ball.

The protagonist suddenly thinks of the commander of the Destroyer, and since it is impossible to tell the difference between it and the normal Destroyer from the appearance, the protagonist asks the ants cleaning the battlefield to pay attention to the ants who are different from the inside of the corpse, and report to him immediately if any.

After a while, a worker ant came to report and led the protagonist to one of the corpses.

The corpse of the Destroyer was horrific to see, smashed directly through the chest by a stone bullet, and the chest was covered in flesh and blood, but the head and abdomen were still intact. It's just that the relatively intact head and abdomen were also dismembered by the big-headed ants.

The abdomen had been cut open along the carapace and the internal organs had a fishy stench, and a mysterious ball had been dug out and placed on the ground with slime, looking nothing special.

And because its head is very strong, the big-headed ants dug it out from the compound eye position, and directly pulled out all the brains inside.

The protagonist notices that the little mystery ball that has been dug out of the Destroyer's skull is one size larger than the other ants' small mystery balls, but it has begun to turn gray.

The protagonist resists his nausea and fiddles with the large and small mystery ball that sticks to his brain, but finds nothing unusual. But he guessed that the body belonged to the Destroyer Commander.

Later, the ants found three such corpses one after another, and the small mysterious ball in the head was larger, which coincided with the information that the protagonist had obtained before that the enemy was divided into three formations, allowing the protagonist to confirm his conjecture.

As many as 1,500 large mystery balls were dug up, 500 were left in [Trench City], and the rest were sent to [Qingqiu City] for storage, these are extremely useful warm babies in winter.

I'm the dividing line

After the battlefield is cleared, the protagonist remains on the ground.

Although there is the sun at this time, the temperature of the air does not make the ants feel comfortable, they do not like such cool weather.

In the previous battle, the ants exercised at high intensity, and they were close together, and the heat emitted made them not feel uncomfortable.

But when it calms down at the moment, many ants feel cold, but the protagonist has no intention of going back, and the Praetorian Guard team that has just arrived with the rolling troops can only accompany them with astringent trembling.

The protagonist notices the strange appearance of the Immortals and the Praetorian Guards, so he goes to the entrance and exit of [Trench City], and lets the Praetorian Guard team stay in the entrance, and only half of his body is leaned out.

The protagonist is waiting for a flying knight!
