Chapter 254: Reinforcements (2)

The reinforcements that Rambo Fei was eagerly awaiting also ran into trouble and had to pause the pace of support.

After the Flying Knight Courier sent by Rambo Fly arrives at the main lair, the protagonist sends an order for the rolling troops to hurry to the battlefield.

Although the protagonist believes in the combat effectiveness of the Divine Legion, he does not want the Second Legion to suffer too many casualties in the face of superior enemies. He counted on the Rolling Beetle Legion to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop in the field and wipe out the biggest resistance force at the moment.

These days, the protagonist's efforts to ambush the secondary nests are not smooth, and even some of the secondary nests that are very close to the main nest have signs of imminent movement, and the protagonist suspects that the old-fashioned king has contacted them.

In order to prevent more of the power of the secondary nest from being pulled together by the old-fashioned king, the protagonist urgently needs to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible.

Roll has long been prepared, and he also received a message from Rambo Fei. After the protagonist's order was delivered, the roll who received the order immediately stopped the rest in the secondary nest that had just been conquered, and the army was on the road again with light equipment.

At this time, the sub-nest, which had been captured after a hard battle, had been simply repaired, and the queen ant, male ants and 2,000 worker ants from the main nest "Qingqiu City" had settled in and taken over the nest.

A batch of grain from the main nest "Qingqiu City" was also transported into it, which will be used as a transit point to continuously transfer grain to the army on the front line. That's why we dare to let the troops advance lightly.

After the rolling army set off, it took half a day to arrive at the last sub-nest along the way, as long as this sub-nest was conquered, it would soon be able to reach the "Waterfront City" and directly support the fighting Rambo Flying Army.

Having learned the lessons of the previous time, Rambovan's legions were more cautious when attacking the secondary nest, which proved to be necessary.

This sub-nest is very close to the territory controlled by the Old-fashioned King, and when the Old-fashioned King's army attacked the "Waterfront City", there were already messengers from the Old-fashioned King.

The king of the vice-nest immediately expressed his obedience to the command of the old king, and reorganized his troops to prepare to support the old king's army.

Not only that, before and after the old-fashioned king decided to attack the "Waterfront City" in a big way, he had already sent several groups of messengers to various parts of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, asking the sub-nest to obey the leadership of his newly formed Great King's Council and gather forces to recover the main nest.

This is also an "innovation" after the old-fashioned king saw the strength of the joint nests of each sub-nest. In his opinion, seventeen sub-nests can pull out an army of 40,000, and if there are dozens of sub-nests that obey orders, then there will be more than 100,000 troops, even if it is the army of the Divine Envoy King, it will not be an opponent.

The efforts of the old-fashioned kings have been echoed, and many of the sub-nests that ushered in the messenger have eagerly expressed their obedience to the leadership of the orthodox king's council, and these vice-nests have previously scoffed at the "pseudo-king's council" formed by the protagonist.

Not long ago, this sub-nest, which was targeted by the rolling army, welcomed two foreign troops, both of which were sent by the neighboring sub-nest to support the old-fashioned king. The reinforcements also carried some food.

In fact, many of the sub-nests in various places, as long as they have the spare strength, have already sent or are preparing to send reinforcements or provide material support to the old king. If the protagonist's flying knights are not confined to "Waterfront City", if they look around, they will find that the ant paths on the south bank of the river are busy again, and this time the ants gather to end not in the main nest "Qingqiu City", but in the northeast of the big-headed ant kingdom.

The sub-nests that the protagonist perceives are about to move, which is no longer a hidden worry, but a prairie fire.

The sub-nest, which was strengthened by reinforcements, was attacked by the Divine Envoy King's legion at this time. However, the total number of defenders in this sub-nest at this time has more than doubled that of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and the commanders are all die-hard loyalists of the King's Council faction.

- I'm the dividing line -

Rambovan soon sensed that the enemy was resisting stubbornly and well-armed, and he knew that if he continued to attack, it would be the same fierce battle as the last time.

Fortunately, the Divine Envoy King's legion has recovered from the helplessness of the previous battle, and after a short period of rectification, the commanders have abandoned the idea of underestimating the enemy.

The Third Army, which was in charge of the attack, retreated to the ground in an orderly manner from the entrance to the lair that had just been attacked, under the command of the commander.

The defenders, believing that they had forced the enemy back, hurriedly launched a counterattack, and a large number of defender soldiers poured out of the ground. Due to the scarcity of commanders, these fighters were not given instructions and did not assemble in formation, so they launched spontaneous counterattacks in a scattered manner.

Rambovan's Third Army easily blocked these counterattacks and stabilized their positions.

As the defenders gathered more and more on the ground, the more crowded and inconvenient they became, and when they approached Rambovan's legion in a bloated and sluggish manner, trying to use ant sea tactics to devour the obstacles in front of them, the rolling beetle legion appeared at the right time.

The Beetle Commando quickly severed the connection between the defenders' large forces and the nest, and Lambother's Sixth Legion quickly attacked the nest**, cleared the few remaining enemies of the nest**, and captured the queen.

But no male ants were found in the nest, and the male ants of this nest and the male ants of the reinforcements were all in the army formation on the ground.

On the ground, the battle continued, with the Beetle Legion swooping out like a stirring rod in liquid, quickly breaking up the defenders' formation, while the Third Legion, which accompanied the infantry and attacked at the same time on the other flank, slaughtered the uncommanded and disorganized enemy army.

The battle continues into the afternoon, and as the last male ant in the defenders is killed, the other ants finally join the protagonist under the orders of the only three male ants, including Roll, Rambovan, and Rambose.

For these worker ants and soldier ants, male ants cannot be disobeyed. They used to fight with their own counter-nest males because of their own second-nest males, but after losing the males, they will easily follow the orders of the males they have just fought. And if you change to an opponent like the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, then you can only feel at ease by killing all the enemies.

Roll led the army into the sub-nest, rested as usual, and prepared to support Rambo Fei in "Waterfront City" after the night, for which he also sent a messenger.

There is a lot of food captured in this secondary nest, and there is no need to transfer military rations from the main nest even for the time being. Roll also sends a messenger to the protagonist to announce the good news, and also hopes that the protagonist will send a male ant administrator to take over the secondary nest as soon as possible.

Before the arrival of the Ant Administrator, after the Rolling Army departs, a squad of the Sixth Legion will be left as a garrison, and the commander of the garrison, the Male Ant, will temporarily preside over the day-to-day management of the sub-nest.

But the next day, they had to be rerouted...... The rear came to report that the secondary nest they had conquered two days earlier had been recaptured by the enemy, completely cutting off the communication between the army and the main nest.
