A large number of thread-parasitic fungi that had been picked up by parasitic ants on the top of the city wall were densely packed towards the front of the Divine Envoy King's legions. This caused a small chaos in the Divine Envoy King's army, which lacked corresponding plans.
However, most of the soldiers of the Divine Envoy King's Legion still instinctively chose to eliminate the thread parasites in front of them first.
Although thread-parasitic fungi have special abilities, they can make ordinary ants ignore their existence. But this ability is also limited. With so many parasitic bacteria gathered together, it is difficult not to notice them. What's more, the Envoy King's Legion, which had suffered heavy losses from parasitic fungi, had previously emphasized the threat of these parasitic fungi to all soldiers.
The soldiers of the God's Envoy King's Army in the first row simply and neatly cut off the incoming silk thread parasites into several pieces. Even so, as long as the head is still there, these parasites will work hard to climb up the soldier ants' legs, and then climb up again. onto their backs.
Fortunately, the soldiers in the second row will also help clean up the parasites on the comrades in the front row. Therefore, although a small chaos was caused, the loss was still acceptable, and the integrity of the defensive formation was not damaged.
Although the parasitic ants have cunning commanders, the soldiers at the bottom are not very intelligent. They failed to seize the opportunity when the first batch of silk parasitic fungi caused trouble to the defense line of the Angel King's army. It was almost until these parasitic bacteria were almost eliminated that the parasitic ants carrying them launched their attack.
The defense line that had just dealt with the parasitic bacteria was attacked again. Some soldiers in the first row who did not react quickly had their heads clamped by the strong enemy in an instant. Then the successful parasitic ant only needed to throw it back hard, and the soldier of the God Envoy King Legion whose head was clamped was thrown into the air, fell diagonally from the fortress, and landed among the densely packed enemy troops on the ground. In an instant, he was killed Countless jaws were dismembered into pieces.
Fortunately, the cooperation between parasitic ants and parasitic bacteria was not synchronized. Most of the defense lines withstood the test and continued to use razor tactics to eliminate this group of enemy troops.
Immediately afterwards, the second batch of enemy troops appeared again, and they still first attacked the defense line with the parasitic bacteria, and then the parasitic ants attacked in a large scale, which seemed to be very organized.
However, as the Angel King's army gradually adapted to this tactic, the damage that the parasitic ants could cause to the God's Envoy King's army became less and less.
If the main force of the parasitic ant nest only has this ability, the protagonist feels that he will win this battle.
The protagonist is hovering in the air, and his attention is always locked on the enemy's seven large pale gold worker ants.
These pale gold worker ants appear to be very cautious, or in other words very afraid of death. They were protected by a large number of strong guards, huddled tightly in a sheltered place at the base of the tree stump, watching batch after batch of parasitic ants climb up the fortress to attack, but never took any action themselves.
In the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, whether it is the king commander in the squad or the king commander in the legion, they all follow the main force of the army. There is no such situation where the commander sits behind and orders his subordinates to attack on their own.
It is precisely because these pale gold worker ants did not come to the scene in person that they were cunning and did not know the situation on the battlefield and failed to change their tactics in time.
But judging from the fact that the time from the launch of the parasitic ant attack to the failure of the parasitic ants is getting shorter and shorter, these pale gold worker ants obviously also indirectly understand the disadvantages of the frontline war.
After sacrificing several more groups of soldiers, the main army of parasitic ants composed of seven legions has lost one-fifth of its strength, and it seems that they have no good way to crack the defense of the fortress, even if they rely on silk thread parasitism Even with the cooperation of bacteria, it is impossible to break through the united front of the Divine Envoy King's army.
The parasitic ant army stopped and continued to send troops to attack upwards. Countless messenger ants came and went among the large worker ants, seemingly exchanging opinions.
Not long after, what shocked the protagonist was that these parasitic ants actually rearranged themselves, then quickly left the bottom of the fortress, retreating quickly and orderly in the direction they came from.
Not to mention the parasitic ants characterized by madness, even ordinary big-headed ants or pavement ant barbarians are extremely aggressive. Unless there is a mandatory order issued by the king, there will be many ants on the battlefield who will fight to the death. Warriors, and rarely see ants escaping or retreating (unless the ants are attacked by an attack they cannot understand and will instinctively run away).
Therefore, the protagonist did not react for a while. By the time he realized what happened, the enemy had already escaped the attack range of the slinging weapon, and he missed a good opportunity to kill people.
The protagonist lands back at the fortress and orders the troops to remain on guard. He was afraid of what tricks the cunning enemy was playing, after all, this was so unlike the ant fighting style.
Taking advantage of this period of time, the Legion of the God Envoy King began to clean up the battlefield, throwing the corpses of both the enemy and ours into the fortress, sending out vigilant scouts, and allocating some troops to clean up the corpses accumulated in the trenches, re-stack ant droppings, treat the injured, etc. .
Then the protagonist mounted Xiao Qing again and chased him in the direction of the enemy's retreat. He wanted to see up close what medicine the enemy was selling in his gourd.
As soon as the protagonist took off, he found that there was no trace of the enemy in his field of vision. This is very abnormal. You must know that flying half a meter high in the air, his field of vision can cover a long distance.
It can only mean that either the enemy retreated quickly, or the enemy has entered an area with lush vegetation, so the protagonist cannot see it.
The protagonist prefers the second possibility. After all, ants are still creatures crawling on the ground and cannot move at such a high speed.
So the protagonist flew over a dense patch of grass on the southern slope of the hill, trying to find traces of the enemy - this was the largest flora in the direction of the enemy's retreat.
The grass blades are particularly prosperous in the grass. There are countless grass blades in various shapes, and only a few gaps expose the soil on the ground.
For better investigation, the protagonist unknowingly controlled Xiao Qing to lower his flying altitude. At this height, there were already many blades of grass that would interfere with Xiao Qing's progress. Fortunately, Xiaoqing will instinctively avoid these obstacles without the protagonist's control, and then move forward along a generally straight route.
After investigating this patch of grass, the protagonist still saw no trace of the enemy. Further forward there is a shrub over one meter high, and in addition is a huge rock. There is also no shadow of the enemy on the rock.
This is so strange. With Xiaoqing's speed, it is impossible to catch up with the enemy at this time. The rock in front is also the only way for the enemy to return to their nest, and the enemy is also invisible on it.
The protagonist had no choice but to take Xiaoqing and prepare to turn around at the one-meter-tall bush and return to the fortress.
Just as Xiaoqing flew under the branches of the bush. The protagonist suddenly heard dense noises coming from above his head.
Looking up, I saw countless parasitic ants jumping down from the branches and leaves of the shrubs, forming a dark cloud that completely enveloped the protagonist and Xiao Qing, making it impossible for him to escape!
