I saw that after the parasitic ants ran to the trench under the fortress, they did not rush up the tree stump like the previous enemies did.
The commanders of the parasitic ants noticed the corpses of the thread-parasitic fungus all over the place, and the parasitic fungus on their own bodies scurrying around in the trench after breaking away.
The protagonist saw a large pale gold worker ant hiding among the enemy and quickly issued instructions to the parasitic ants around him. Subsequently, in a wave-like spread, all the parasitic ants quickly received orders from the supreme commander of the legion.
Therefore, the parasitic ants that had arrived at the bottom of the fortress were not in a hurry to attack the Angel King's army at the top. Instead, they began to dig trenches and clear out the ant droppings, which exuded the strong scent of their new hosts, attracting the thread-parasitic bacteria.
There is not much ant feces at the bottom of the trench. Once these ant feces are cleaned up, the thread-parasitic bacteria will not break away from the original host's body so early, and may not start to break away until near the city wall. In this case, the Angel King's legions guarding the fortress will once again face the threat of thread parasites, and the fortress's geographical advantage will be greatly weakened.
The protagonist didn't know why the enemy commander was so smart. He immediately saw the reason for the arrangement of the God Envoy King's army and took extremely targeted measures.
However, the Legion of the God Envoy King could not just watch the enemy's actions and remain indifferent. The protagonist immediately landed back to the fortress and summoned the messengers.
As a result, the fortress defenders on the city wall began to throw clay bombs at the parasitic ants who were cleaning the trenches.
The protagonist flies into the sky again to observe the results of the battle.
The pottery bombs thrown from high places and the fragments of the pottery bombs that burst out in all directions are still good at killing thread-parasitic bacteria. But the clay bomb itself is almost powerless against parasitic ants.
This is because the clay bomb thrown with a sling needs to be accelerated through circular motion. After many rounds of acceleration, its power is much greater than that of being thrown directly, and it can cause a certain amount of damage to the enemy.
The power of a clay bomb thrown from a height depends on its own mass and the height at which it is thrown, both of which are very low.
A clay bomb is about the same size as a soldier ant's head and weighs only a few tenths of a gram. Even when it is thrown out, it is too light and will be disturbed by the wind. The height of the tree stump is only half a meter. According to calculations based on mechanical equations, the power produced by a clay bomb thrown from the height of a tree stump is only a slight pain to the parasitic ant it hits, and it cannot break the defense at all.
The raindrops of clay bombs caused the attacked parasitic ants to panic a little and become confused. After discovering that this attack could not cause any harm, the parasitic ants, under the leadership of the commander, simply stopped evading and let it go. Clay bombs hit his body and surroundings, and he calmly continued his cleaning work.
Upon seeing this, the protagonist could only ask the God Envoy King's army to stop the attack, so as not to waste the precious pottery bomb inventory.
The parasitic ants quickly cleaned the bottom of the trench. The thread-parasitic fungi with nowhere to go lingered and hesitated at the bottom of the trench. The remaining smell of the new host gradually dissipated, leaving them hesitant to return to the original host or continue to look for possibilities. A new host exists.
But the parasitic ants have already begun their next move.
Following the orders of the seven pale gold worker ants, all the parasitic ant warriors began to hold the living silk parasites around them in their jaws and began to climb the vertical tree stumps.
Seeing these enemies climbing with threads of parasites in their mouths, the protagonist guessed that they were preparing to send these annoying parasites up the city wall. After all, the thread-parasitic fungus alone cannot climb a steep tree stump.
The first batch of parasitic ants climbed very quickly. Before the protagonist could think of how to deal with the new changes, they had already climbed the city wall.
In order to improve the killing efficiency, the soldiers of the God's Envoy King's Legion left most of the space for the enemy on the city wall.
In this way, when the enemy climbs the city wall, there will be enough space for the soldier ants in the Queen's back row to attack the enemy's fragile neck from a high position. The enemy's abdomen and the most muscular hind limbs are still on the vertical bark, unable to exert force on the platform. The soldiers of the God's Envoy King in the first row will not be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight.
This tactical design gave the fortress defenders an upper hand in the face of the first wave of crazy attacking parasitic ant warriors.
The parasitic ants, which had just climbed onto the platform at the top of the fortress wall and were still unsteady on their feet, were firmly restrained by the first row of soldiers from the Angel King's legion. Then the second row of soldiers who climbed on the backs of the first row took the opportunity to sneak attack from a high place where the parasitic ants were unprepared, and neatly snapped their necks.
The dead parasitic ant's abdomen, which was the heaviest, was still hanging outside the platform, and the whole body was driven down, leaving room for the next parasitic ant to die.
At this time, since no new orders were received, the Divine Envoy King's army still followed the previous tactics to face the enemy.
However, the second wave of parasitic ant army with a unified commander is obviously more difficult to deal with, especially their legion commander-the light gold big-headed ant is surprisingly cunning.
The parasitic ants that had just exposed their heads and put a pair of forelimbs on the platform of the city wall were not in a hurry to climb up. They didn't even glance at the God's Envoy King's army, which was waiting in the distance, and placed the silk parasites in their mouths on the ground.
Immediately, these thread parasitic bacteria smelled the attractive new host's breath floating from the defense line of the God's Envoy King's Army not far away, and immediately twisted and crawled over like snakes.
This time, there was a commotion on the defense line of the Divine Envoy King's army.
According to the plan and tactical arrangement, the defense line of the God's Envoy Army should be as before, with the first row of soldiers to contain it, and the second row of soldiers to kill the enemy's parasitic ants. This requires that the defense line must not loosen and retreat, and must always keep close attention on enemy parasitic ants.
But in addition, the protagonist also specifically emphasized that if you encounter thread parasites in battle, you must pay great attention to the threat of thread parasites.
A conflict arose between these two orders. As a result, there was disharmony among the soldiers of the God's Envoy King's Legion in the first row. Some soldiers decided to continue to pay attention to the parasitic ants that climbed up later, while others planned to first Destroy the tiny thread-parasitic bacteria that are approaching quickly in front of you.
This caused some confusion in the front line of the Divine Envoy King's army, and even the commander of the team did not know how to deal with it.
This is also because the protagonist, based on his previous fortress defense experience, believed that the threat of thread parasites had been basically eliminated during the defense on the city wall, so he did not include it in the plan, which caused the consequences.
It seems that this wave of enemies is not so easy to deal with.
