Chapter 208: The Battle of [Sitong City] (2)
In the thick fog, suddenly there were dark shadows, and the 51st Army was a little far away from the battlefield, although it had received a warning, it had not yet completed the change of formation.
A group of destroyers suddenly tore through the pale fog and killed, and those who were caught off guard were about to kill.
This group of destroyers, numbering in the hundreds, attacked the flank of the 51st Legion, and after crushing several squads in front of them, they did not fight, but rushed forward regardless of the gap between the 51st Legion and the 50th Legion in front.
In the dense fog, it was inconvenient to observe and command, and the two legions on the side of the road were not able to stop the enemy's assault at the first time.
The protagonist and the Praetorian Guard team are about to rush to the front line, but unexpectedly encounter the enemy here. And he has realized that the enemy's goal is clearly his own line.
In the mist, the dark shadows of the enemy became thicker and thicker, and the vibration of countless arthropods running on the ground became more and more intense.
The protagonist takes the weapon from the Praetorian Guard next to him, which is a bronze mace that has just been made according to the protagonist's request, and has only been transported to the protagonist, and has not yet seen blood.
During the march, the mace is carried by twenty able-bodied soldiers, but the protagonist lifts it effortlessly with his limbs.
Fast! The Destroyer came extremely fast, and in an instant, it had already crossed the interception of the two legions and killed the protagonist!
Bad! The Destroyer was menacing, and the jaws of the Destroyer who took the lead were still covered in fresh blood and flesh.
But the destroyer is fast, the protagonist is faster, the destroyer is fierce, and the protagonist is more fierce.
He dragged his mace upside down, lined up the Praetorian Guards guarding him, and went out of the formation.
In the white mist, a yellow light flashed, and the mace swept away several blades of grass in front of him with a blast of wind, and these blades of grass flew out upside down, hitting the compound eye of a destroyer, causing pain.
But it soon painless, and the spikes of the mace did not flash in the mist, nor did they alert the enemy.
But it wasn't until long spikes pierced their carapaces, tore through their muscles and guts, and tossed the hole-pierced Destroyer out like a broken bag, that they realized the horror of the weapon.
The protagonist swept in one round, piercing and sweeping away the three Destroyers, and also forcibly stopped the assault of the large group of Destroyers.
With one enemy and one hundred, the gods descend to earth, this is the heroic posture of the protagonist with the mace in hand.
Instead of wielding a short copper hammer that wields a common danger between friend and foe, the long mace gives him a greater range of attacks, and the cover of the tacit Praetorian Guards behind him also allows the protagonist to have no worries about the sneak attack on the wings and behind him.
All he had to do was call out to the enemies in front of him, who had hard teeth and armor, but they couldn't bite him or stop the spikes of the mace, and the resistance was futile, just as other ants were in vain against the Destroyer.
The battle didn't last long, and just a few minutes later, the Destroyer, who had been thwarted in his assault, was surrounded and completely annihilated by the two legions of Divine Envoy King warriors who heard the news from both sides.
The protagonist wipes his hands on the blades of grass beside him, and the weapon slips through the blood of the Destroyer left behind by the mace.
The protagonist asks the Praetorian Guards to wipe their blood clean and then follows him on.
On the way, the protagonist picks up his spirits, and this surprise attack on himself comes strangely, and the enemy seems to know his movements. Fortunately, there are legions of divine envoys along the way, so he will not be surrounded alone.
I'm the dividing line
In the thick fog, following the line formed by the Divine Angel King warriors along the way, the protagonist finally arrives at the battle area.
The army of the big head is at the forefront, and at this time the army is in chaos, and the only way to contact is through the messenger, but the protagonist has not received a new messenger message.
It is not until they arrive on the battlefield that the protagonist realizes how bad the situation is.
The protagonist is now in the position of the 48th Legion, which is under siege by a large number of destroyers, if it weren't for the legion commander in time to organize a few squads to use a small rock to form a defensive line, and then slowly gather some of the routs, I am afraid that this legion will also be crushed.
The battlefield was full of scurrying Divine Envoy King warriors, who could not find an organization after being scattered by the enemy.
According to their accounts, when the enemy attacked, they always premeditated to kill the squad commander and the legion commander first, leaving the remaining warriors leaderless.
According to the soldiers, at least the 44th, 45th, and 46th Legions had been crushed, and the enemy was not in a hurry to slaughter the Divine Envoy King warriors who had lost their organization, but advanced all the way, with the goal of defeating as many legions as possible.
The 47th Army was still resisting at the front, and the enemy only left a small part to watch over them, and ran to attack the 48th Army again.
The protagonist re-enters the state of "Celestial Descending to Earth", taking advantage of the sparse gap of the enemy's formation, leading the guards into the encirclement and arriving at the 48th Legion.
The males of the Legion were very excited by the arrival of the Divine Envoy King, and their morale was greatly increased, and they worked together to repel another wave of enemy attacks.
The protagonist commends the commander of this legion and the other male ants.
Based on the information along the way, the protagonist has determined that there are about 400 destroyers besieging the 48th Legion, and there are still many destroyers wandering around, and the enemy's forces for attack are between one or two thousand.
If it weren't for this damn fog, which caused the reconnaissance, command, and dispatch of the huge Divine Envoy King Legion to fail, so many enemies would not have caused such a big chaos.
The 48th Army held off the enemy in front of it, giving the troops behind a chance to breathe and adjust.
Soon after, the 49th and 50th Legions broke through a handful of enemy obstructions and entered the battlefield, forcing hundreds of Destroyers to retreat.
Among the retreating enemies, through the thick fog, the protagonist sees the figure of a Destroyer with a particularly large body and long tentacles, which seems to be a radar Destroyer.
The protagonist takes over the command of the three legions, and the command troops immediately chase after them.
Messengers and fleeing warriors reported that half of the enemy's forces, after crushing the 44th Corps, had moved southeast to the position where the big head was.
They had only the strength of the 3 corps of the 41st, 42nd and 43rd Corps in that direction, and without support from the rear, the situation was even more critical.
The protagonist wields a mace and chases after him with an army until he loses his strength and is afraid of the sequelae.
After the Divine Envoy King's Legion organized a counterattack on all fronts, the Destroyers did not like to fight, and retreated one after another, showing great organizational discipline and flexibility.
When the army finally sees the unit where the big head is, the protagonist is relieved.
Although he was a little dazed after the surprise attack, the big head still organized a defensive line, did not let the three legions be completely crushed by the enemy, and held out until the reinforcements arrived.
In the fog, the enemy's figure gradually disappeared, and the protagonist was worried about what tricks the enemy would have, and the army was really inconvenient to dispatch, so he had to order the troops to continue to enter the position as originally planned, and then pursue after the formation was tight.
