When the demon hunters came to a relatively safe camp a hundred meters below the city wall, the pungent smell of gunsmoke and the sound of guns were deafening, and even the ground shook slightly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the misty red mist, it can be seen that many soldiers frequently transport ammunition and materials on the city tower, and the shouts of several commanding officers have become hoarse, and on their faces, in addition to exhaustion and sleepiness, there is also a look of uneasiness that cannot be concealed, which shows that the battle situation outside the city is not optimistic.

At this moment, feeling the atmosphere of this war up close, even if it is a witcher, his mood can't help but get nervous.

Seeing Xu Hao, Zhang Wenqiang and others coming, a ground command officer who was twenty-seven or eighteen years old immediately walked up quickly: "Chief, why are you here?" He glanced quickly at the group of witchers behind him, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Zhang Wenqiang said coldly: "Pass the order, and after repelling the current wave of demon ant colonies, open the city gate immediately!" ”

The ground command officer exclaimed, "Chief, you want to go out?!" ”

Zhang Wenqiang bowed his head and said: "Well, except for the soldiers of the fifth battalion who stayed on the battle line, the others immediately sorted out their armaments, and they all went to the small square to gather, listen to my instructions, and prepare to go!" ”

The ground command officer glanced at the group of demon hunters behind him again, and there were still doubts in his eyes, but finally he said in a deep voice: "Yes, chief!" With that, he immediately turned around and walked quickly to the camp where the headquarters was located, and quickly issued Zhang Wenqiang's instructions to the soldiers present, and hundreds of soldiers immediately took action after listening to the order.

"Brother Xu, let's go up and have a look?" Zhang Wenqiang pointed to the city tower and invited.

"Yes." Xu Hao nodded.

At that moment, the two of them climbed the castle tower with the leaders of several witcher squads in each district, while the rest of the witchers walked to a small square not far from the next door, where many soldiers had gathered, as well as many chariots and heavy tanks armed with long guns and short guns.

After ascending the tower, Xu Hao, Zhang Wenqiang and others came to the center of the tower surrounded by an outer wall, which was also the place where two front-line command officers issued orders, one of the younger officers was still a witcher, and his profession was an archer.

Seeing Zhang Wenqiang and others coming, the two officers immediately gave up their positions.

Zhang Wenqiang took the binoculars and stood side by side with Xu Hao in front of the window, looking at the scene outside the city wall condescendingly, while the other demon hunter leaders also looked for their own places to check the situation outside the city.

In this position, everyone could already clearly see the overall attack of the demon ant army under the city. Just a few glances, everyone's facial expressions were a little more solemn.

From the time the demon ant army launched its attack at noon to the present, the two sides have been in a stalemate for more than an hour, and the pace of the demon ant army has advanced to a position less than a hundred meters away from the city wall.

Under the dense artillery bombardment, there are still more than 5,000 giant demon ants rushing forward one after another, fearless of death, the picture is extremely tragic and shocking, especially for those who have witnessed this scene for the first time, it will have a strong visual impact.

Xu Hao directly opened the eagle eye, and his gaze quickly swept over the area in front of him that had been bombarded with huge lethal artillery fire and was full of demon ant corpses, and his line of sight continued to expand outward, until one after another large and small ant nests entered his field of vision, capturing those countless demon ant colonies.

Looking at it, Xu Hao's face gradually became gloomy. His perception attribute is far superior to that of ordinary archers, so he can see farther, and he naturally has a clearer understanding of the distribution of demon ant colonies.

Until the end of the area where the eagle eye can radiate, Xu Hao can still catch the shadow of the ant nest.

The urban areas within a radius of dozens of miles have become a world of demon ants.

According to his estimates, the number of demon ants in this area is far more than 50,000!

"The number of demon ants that an elite-level queen ant can lead is about 200,000, and there are at least 150,000 demon ants appearing here now!"

"According to this situation, it won't be long before a second elite-level queen will be born in this urban area, maybe in the area where the black-robed emissary is... If you don't destroy their foundations in time, within a month, a lord-level queen can be born here! ”

Thinking of this, Xu Hao's eyes were gloomy, and he suddenly remembered something, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

"This is already the outskirts of Tokai City, remember that incident, it seems to have happened during this time..."

Xu Hao's brows furrowed deeply, in his previous life, he did not take the route to Donghai City, on the contrary, he became a demon hunter and went to another small city adjacent to the S urban area, and went through countless hardships all the way to reach the demon hunting camp, and finally became a member of the elite demon hunters.

As for what happened in Donghai City in the early days of the Scarlet Era, he only learned something from a demon hunter from Donghai City much later in his previous life, and he didn't listen carefully at the beginning, and he didn't know the specific time of some events.

"I remember that the northern area of Donghai City is one of the garrisons of the southern government army, it seems that it is no accident that Zhang Wenqiang and these people appeared here, it just so happened that there was such a huge demon ant disaster here, once it spreads... Could it be that because of this, those southern government troops stationed in Donghai City in their previous life would make such a move? ”

"By the way, wasn't the first appearance of the dimensional domain space-time in Donghai City?"

Xu Hao showed a thoughtful look, with a hint of worry between his eyebrows. Compared to the huge army of demon ants in front of him right now, he was more worried that the event in his memory would play out in the area he was in.

"Forget it, the Demon Hunter Emblem will not issue a mortal mission, it's useless to think about it now, just take one step at a time."

"As long as the current queen ant is solved, the demon ants in this area will not be able to give birth to a second queen in a short period of time, well, my appearance may be able to change the original historical trajectory."

Thinking of this, Xu Hao's eyes fell on the largest female nest two kilometers away in the northwest direction, there were already five small ant nests built around it nearby, and thousands of demon ants were guarding it, and the thousands of demon ant armies that were attacking under the city tower were from the ant nest there.

If Xu Hao and the other demon hunters wanted to enter the queen's nest, they would have to break through the defense line of the tens of thousands of demon ants guarding the five small nests.

After seeing the distribution of the ant nest and the army of demon ants, Xu Hao refocused his gaze on the thousands of demon ants that were frantically attacking under the city tower, and the number of demon ants he saw outside the military gathering place in the distance had now decreased by more than one-third compared to an hour.

"Brother Xu."

Zhang Wenqiang put down the binoculars in his hand and said: "According to the usual law, as long as the number of casualties of the demon ants exceeds half, they will stop attacking and withdraw to the nest, and now it seems that it is almost the same." ”

They had discussed before, once the demon ant colony showed signs of retreating, they would immediately open the city gate, and launch a charge with a group of soldiers, and the demon ant colony would be caught off guard, it was best to annihilate this part of the demon ants in one fell swoop, so as not to let it merge with the demon ant army in front of the ant nest.

Xu Hao nodded and asked, "How many days can your ammunition last?" ”

"Not much." Zhang Wenqiang sighed slightly and said, "If we don't get support in the next three days, our team will abandon here and try to bypass the red clay hills directly until it converges with the troops in front." ”

"Hehe, it's a long journey, and I'm afraid it's no less difficult than breaking through the many ant nests here."

Xu Hao glanced at Zhang Wenqiang and said lightly: "By the way, the forward troops you are talking about should be the southern government army, right?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wenqiang couldn't help but show a look of surprise, then lowered his face, stared at Xu Hao with slightly narrowed eyes, and said, "How do you know about the southern government army?" ”

After the Scarlet Age, with the outbreak of the Red Mist Virus, demonic creatures wreaked havoc everywhere, causing chaos in the global order, and the regime of the republic, as the lion of the East, also underwent a great change, and now it has split into two fronts, the north and the south, and each has a new leader.

These two new regimes have only just been formed, and there are certainly not many people in the upper echelons who know about this news except for those within the elite.

Xu Hao smiled indifferently and said: "How do I know that it doesn't matter, with the current situation, if you want to get the support of the Southern Sect government army, it is basically impossible, they will not have the spare strength to divide their forces to come and clear the demon ant army here." Chief Zhang, I think you should have such an awareness. ”

Zhang Wenqiang glanced at Xu Hao deeply, shook his head, looked at the fierce battle outside the city and said, "For most people, it is always good to have hope. ”

As he spoke, his eyes froze, staring at the bottom of the city wall: "They are starting to retreat!" (To be continued.) )
