Doomsday Totem

Chapter 191 Conditions
Two hours ago, just a few minutes after Jiang Yun's troops entered the center of the ant nest and insect nest, thousands of red light spots appeared on Iron Slag's tactical map.In just a moment, the red light spot, like a spreading paint, quickly spread and eroded to the surrounding blue light spots.

Seeing this scene, Tie Slag immediately realized that the Sixth Defense Team of the Dark Forest was over.Immediately afterwards, he quickly drew the map and analyzed the surrounding situation again.Not long after, he suddenly noticed a handful of blue light spots slowly moving towards the defense line.He clicked on the light spot, and a line of information was displayed immediately above it.

[Dark Forest Guard Sixth Brigade Thunderfire Mech*65]
After a few minutes of thinking, Tie Slag gave up the idea of ​​retreating.

First of all, it is too late to retreat now, the crickets and thorns are moving too fast, and the marching speed is more than twice that of humans.Secondly, even if the Sixth Battalion fights to the end, they can only buy two and a half hours for the defense line.Unless his "wolves" could retreat alone, they could not escape the swarm's pursuit.But the problem is that if any team on the defense line leaves without authorization, the entire defense line will be on the verge of collapse.If the insect swarm has a breakthrough, they can attack back and forth, forming a siege.

Therefore, the first team to retreat will definitely receive the most severe punishment.

After figuring this out, Tie Slag immediately put away the tactical map, put his weapon on his back, hung up the walkie-talkie, handed over the command of the base to the deputy commander Wang Hu, and then sneaked into the depths of the dense forest alone.

After killing a few wandering ants, Tie Zha summoned about thirty scout soldier ants and distributed them within a range of 300 meters in front.

As he expected, after about ten minutes, General Li Qi sent an urgent notice: "The swarm of insects is coming. According to the "Regulations on Handling Emergency Situations During Foreign Wars" and "Regulations on Emergency Responses to Human Foreign Wars", the Dark Forest Garrison All personnel, materials, and ordnance in the theater will be automatically recruited."

"All teams must stick to the line of defense and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. All personnel who evacuate without authorization will be dealt with by the highest military law. Please do not try your best!"

"The third, fifth, and ninth battalions will join the battlefield in three hours and ten minutes. The No.19, No.20, and No.30 five teams of the Dawn Expeditionary Airborne Division have flown to the theater and are expected to enter the battle within four hours. Please hold on until the last moment!"

"All teams participating in the defense will be rewarded with [-] credits and a silver medal."

Iron Slag accelerated forward while listening to the notification.Through scouting soldier ants distributed in front, he kept looking for and beheading the chrysalis, so as to increase the number of soldier ants.

about an hour later...

Tie Slag sat on a towering banyan tree, opened the tactical map and looked at it for a while.There are more and more red spots in the center of the screen, while the blue light spots on the periphery are gradually going out.Seeing that the sixth garrison team was about to be annihilated, he estimated that the defense line would be attacked by the insect swarm within an hour, so he dialed General Li Qi's voice communication.

"I request to retreat." Tie Slag said in a deep voice.

"No! Unauthorized retreat will be punished..." General Li Qi shouted angrily.

"Speak to Assistant Qin!" Tie Slag interrupted him roughly, and yelled back.

"Well, what do you want?" General Li Qi sighed helplessly, "Retreat is definitely not an option. Once you retreat, others will have a reason to retreat. If the insect swarm breaks through the line of defense, our Dark Night Lighthouse will bear the brunt .”

"I originally had [-] credits, and I have [-] credits to garrison here. The other two teams have [-] credits to garrison. Here, I already have [-] credits. I have three teams here, and another [-] credits is definitely not enough. .” Tie Slag counted.

"You..." General Li Qi suddenly lost his temper, and said, "Stop talking, there are [-] credits in total, and that's all I can instruct."

"Three silver medals." Tie Slag reminded that this was promised in the notification just now. Although he didn't know what it would be useful for, it must be something valuable.

"No problem!" General Li Qi boldly promised.

"Also, you must admit the establishment of the wolf army now." Tie Slag said.

"This……"

The other side seemed to be hesitating, and Tie Slag argued with reason: "The temporary troops are not obliged to fight."

"Private property review is inevitable..." General Li Qi pondered.

"We are a team first, so the credits gained this time are all ours, and then the review team will delete the corresponding pensions and the post-war part of private property." Tie Zha added in a tone, "Remember! I said It's the post-war part." Just now, he had calculated carefully for more than an hour, and he had thought of all the conditions.

"This……"

General Li Qi hesitated for a while, Tie Slag continued: "You don't agree to this, I take people away now, I don't care about any military law, at worst I go back to the Northern Wilderness and see who can catch me, besides, I It’s a temporary team, and it’s hard for me to say whether military law can deal with it.”

"Okay! That's it." General Li Qi said helplessly.

After turning off the communication, with a thought in Tie Zha's mind, more than 300 scout ants immediately wandered around, feeding information within a kilometer to his mind instantly.After confirming that there was no more danger, Iron Slag opened the tactical map again and began to study it.

Most of the garrisons on the defense line were the Seventh Garrison in charge of the encirclement. The remaining three camps belonged to the Academy Alliance, and one of the camps belonged to the Wolf Clan Legion.The total strength of the defense line is about 800 people, which is at an absolute disadvantage compared to the number of insect swarms.

Fortunately, human troops in motion are vulnerable to outflanking and attacking by swarms, while humans stationed in positions have a great advantage.Even simple ditches, barbed wire, and bunker walls can greatly limit the charge of the crickets.Unlike the Sixth Battalion that was attacked, the garrison troops here were scattered and supported by artillery fire in the rear, so the swarms did not dare to gather and charge easily.And the simple line of defense can also maximize the advantages of human long-range weapons and fully weaken the melee combat ability of the crickets.

What's more, the humans in the camp have sufficient ammunition, which is different from the attacking sixth brigade.Based on Tie Slag's understanding of crickets and thorns, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on to this line of defense for one to two hours, but the premise of everything is that there will be no deserters...

Judging from the tactical map, the right wing of the Wolf Clan Legion is the camp of the Seventh Garrison. There are more than two hundred people stationed there, which is relatively reliable. After all, they are regular troops.The left wing is the "Falcon Legion" of the Academy Alliance, with a total strength of less than one hundred and only four Thunderfire mechas, so it may not be able to defend.But that's the end of the matter, and we can only do our best.

Right here, Wang Hu's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Head, the [-] Leihuo mechas of the Sixth Defense Team request to enter the camp to participate in the defense."

"Are they following our orders?" Iron Slag asked.

"They expressed their willingness to accept our command and deployment before the end of the war, but..." Wang Hu paused, and said, "their shells are running low, and they can only barely make enough for two salvos."

"How many shells do we have in stock?" Iron Slag asked again.

"Very sufficient. The former Beast Legion and the Northern Black Knights have a lot of shells. Just now, Mu Qianhe counted more than 400 explosive shells and more than 50 armor-piercing shells, which are enough for thirty Thunderbolt salvos to fire fifteen rounds; Twelve rounds, but the regulations of the Dark Forest forbid the use of incendiary bombs."

"Accept their request, then distribute five rounds of shells to them, and let Mu Qianhe be in charge." Tie Slag said.

"Of course." Wang Hu replied loudly.

"And..." Iron Slag added, "place them in the front row, and use machine guns to assist in defense if necessary."

After the arrangements were made, Iron Slag jumped down from the tree and continued to look for the lone larvae to maintain the operation of the scout ant army.The feeding, hatching, and replacement of these three hundred soldier ants require a large number of cadaveric ants.After using it for a period of time, Tie Slag found that once the number of soldier ants exceeded the critical point of [-], he would gradually feel dizzy in his mind.This dizziness will become more intense as the number of soldier ants increases.In order to ensure the clarity of thinking, he currently only keeps about [-], and the slightest discomfort will reduce immediately.

Half an hour later, on the tactical map, all the blue dots representing the Sixth Defense Team went out, and the red spots also disappeared from the map.

Iron Slag noticed that the red spots had spread in all directions before disappearing.After a short thought, he figured out the intention of the swarm.They are prepared to spread the attack rather than concentrate on breaking through a defensive point.In the face of human artillery coverage, a large number of insect swarms will become the primary target.However, if they can attack multiple defense zones at the same time, the killing range of the artillery can be minimized.

Moreover, the most important point is that the ultimate goal of the bee ants swarm is not to break through, but to consume human troops to the maximum extent.This can be seen from their strategic intentions, all their actions are to compete for a larger living space.Second, in a sense, human beings are both their opponent and their prey.

At the same time, this is also the ultimate reason why the Sixth Defense Team of the Dark Forest never retreats.Retreat will cause more than half of the soldiers to die in a state of "low resistance", unable to effectively consume the number of insect swarms.So they would rather stay and fight to the death than leave a pile of corpses and flee.

The real horror of the bee and ant swarm is that the corpses of soldiers in this place will turn into thousands of stinging insects.Due to the lack of resources and minerals in the dark jungle, there is no spirit mine and black oil; therefore, the queen worms can only devour plants, and can only hatch "low-level plant life forms" and cannot hatch "low-level half-plant half-animal life forms" thorn bug.To do this, they need to devour large numbers of animal carcasses in order to obtain the resources needed to hatch stingers.

When the central area of ​​the ant nest and insect nest in the tactical map was completely dark, Iron Slag immediately dispatched the army of soldiers and ants, distributed in the fan-shaped area 2km ahead, and monitored the latest movements of the insect swarm at any time.
