After a series of battles, the protagonist has been in a state of high excitement stimulated by a large amount of adrenaline.

The price of maintaining this extremely energy-consuming and energy-consuming state of "gods descending from the earth" is that when the protagonist finally eliminates this larger parasitic dung beetle, he quickly becomes sore all over his body and is in an extremely weak sequelae stage.

This puts the protagonist in crisis.

As if it could sense that this giant war beast was on the verge of death, dozens of surviving thread-parasitic fungi on its back broke away from their original hosts and pulled out long roots from the gaps in the carapace.

These parasitic fungi that grow on dung beetles are much longer than those on ants, like the difference between a python and a grass snake.

Thanks to their size, these thread parasitic fungi can first wrap around and control their prey like pythons and then calmly take root and parasitize, unlike their smaller counterparts who can only use sneak attacks to directly penetrate into unsuspecting hosts. .

Now, countless thread-parasitic bacteria are rushing madly towards the nearest prey they feel - the protagonist.

However, as the three war beasts fled or died in battle, the attacking parasitic ant army did not give up. After all, with the efforts of the war beasts, the parasitic ant army has successfully occupied a large position on the first city wall, and also opened a gap in the second city wall.

For the parasitic ant army and their commander, it seems that victory is within easy reach. Now the parasitic ants still have a numerical advantage, and the fortress defenders' defense line has exposed flaws.

Therefore, under the strict orders of the Great Danjin Worker Ant, countless parasitic ants launched a full-scale attack on the first city wall, the second city wall and the gap in the city wall at the same time like a tide.

The protagonist is still in the formation of parasitic ants. Countless crazy parasitic ants climb up the back of the dung beetle that is no longer struggling, and attack the protagonist who is unable to move on the head of the dung beetle.

The protagonist saw the movement of thread-parasitic fungi and parasitic ants. He was unable to fight anymore. He wanted to escape but could only stagger a few steps, unable to escape the pursuit of the wolf-like enemy.

It seems that in the next second, the protagonist will be overwhelmed by two groups of enemies at the same time...

——I am the dividing line——

The God Envoy King's army was in a very unfavorable situation.

The protagonist, the supreme commander of the legion, is currently unknown. The three legions, which have lost their unified command, are trapped in the dilemma of fighting independently.

Nearly half of the first legion's troops, together with all the long-range troops, faced countless parasitic ant warriors climbing up on the narrow platform of the second city wall and the silk parasites they brought up. Although the enemy's offensive was fierce, but at present Haven't lost ground yet.

All the remaining troops of the First Legion gathered at the gap in the second city wall opened by the parasitic dung beetle.

The terrain at the gap was rugged, with wall remains and collapsed stones everywhere, making it impossible for the soldiers of the First Legion to form a tight defensive formation, and were forced to fight in melee with the more powerful parasitic ant warriors.

The soldiers of the First Legion who blocked the gap suffered heavy losses. Although there are still enough reserves to supplement them for the time being, the reserves of the First Legion are obviously not as strong as those of the parasitic ants. If the stalemate continues, the balance of victory will gradually tilt towards the enemy.

The Second and Third Legions were originally responsible for guarding the first city wall. However, after the parasitic ants opened a gap on the east side of the fortress, they gave up attacking in the other three directions, leaving only a small number of diversionary forces, and devoted all their main forces to the attack on the east side of the fortress.

As a result, the two legions deployed on the first front have no place to use.

Without receiving new instructions from the protagonist, the commanders of the two legions, Rambofo and Rambovan, could only continue to adhere to the original instructions-to defend the first city wall.

Therefore, the Second Army and the Third Army only mobilized part of their troops to attack the parasitic ant army near the gap in the city wall from both sides along the platform of the first city wall.

The platform of the first city wall is very suitable for the tightly formed attack troops of the God's Envoy King's Legion to exert the lethality of razor tactics. However, due to the limited width of the platform, under the fanatical and tenacious resistance of the parasitic ants, although the two legions achieved great success, they were never able to join forces, nor could they prevent the main force of the parasitic ant army from exerting huge pressure on the second wall and the gap.

These two legions did not send troops to reinforce the first legion that was in a bitter battle, even though there were still a large number of idle troops on the first city wall. The First Legion had no thought of seeking support from its close companions.

This is the rigidity of the ant commanders. In the absence of instructions from higher-level commanders, even if they see problems, they will not solve them. They will only try to make up for them within the scope of the existing instructions.

——I am the dividing line——

The battle near the gap in the second city wall has lasted for half an hour, and both sides have paid a huge price.

The gap was filled with ant corpses, so that the troops that followed had to move the corpses in front before they could continue to fight.

In the battle for this small area, the parasitic ants had the advantage of having strong individual combat effectiveness. The first army, under the command of Gun and relying on the fire support of long-range troops at high altitudes in the rear, did not fall into a disadvantage and did not let the parasitic ant army lose. Break through the gap.

However, the price of this is that six teams of the First Legion have been completely disabled. Except for the ten squads and six long-range squads that helped defend the second city wall, Gun only had the strength of the last eight squads left in his hands.

Perhaps half an hour later, the First Legion will exhaust its last drop of blood and have to accept the outcome of the more powerful parasitic ant army breaking through the gap, driving straight in, and completely sweeping away the inside of the fortress.

Gun was very anxious. He continued to invest the existing strength in his hands, and then asked the disabled troops to withdraw and rest. Even though he knew that this was just drinking poison to quench his thirst and could not completely eliminate the threat, he still had to do it. The First Corps could not afford to risk being lost in the breach.

The defenders on the city walls on both sides of the gap are also in constant distress. The parasitic ant army with sufficient strength has not relaxed its offensive here, forcing the long-range teams on the city wall to engage in close combat. The city wall may change hands at any time.

The situation of the First Army was already precarious.

However, Gun has not received an order from the supreme commander for a long time.

Gun is now extremely eager to get the latest instructions. He believes that as long as the God Envoy King issues the instructions, the powerful enemy in front of him will immediately collapse.

This is the trust in the Divine Messenger King accumulated from previous wars. Even the small setback in the first battle with the parasitic ants did not shake this trust.

But now, where is the God Envoy King? Not only the Divine Envoy King, but also his team of guards have disappeared...
