By nightfall, the Fourth Army had assembled at the bridgehead.
Due to the limited area of the bridgehead, twenty of the fifty squads of the Fourth Army were deployed on the first wall defense line, ten squads were deployed on the second anthill defense line, and the remaining twenty were used as mobile The troops temporarily stayed in the anthills and shrubs until the war situation required them to fight again.
Some ants in charge of logistics quickly passed the rope bridge and sent a small amount of food from [Swamp City] to the bridgehead, ensuring that the soldiers who were resting before the battle could all get a bite of food.
The protagonist also rode Xiao Qing II to the bridgehead. As the Bee Flying Knights gained control of the air, he finally no longer had to be trapped inside [Swamp City], but could overlook the battle situation from the air.
As the sky brightened, the flying bee knights came out in large numbers, clustering together like a black cloud, hovering back and forth over [Swamp City] and the bridgehead, alerting and guarding the sky.
The sun rises from the east, a gentle breeze blows across the sky, and the clouds covering nearly half of the sky gradually show signs of dispersing. The sun shines through the gaps in the clouds toward the earth, coating both the clouds and the earth with a dazzling and warm golden color. , dispelling the slight chill that had just gathered at night.
It's a warm, bright day, the kind of weather insects love, and a perfect day for killing!
At this time, the bee flying knights wandering in the air suddenly turned collectively, turned back from the south, and flew in a circle with a very short radius over the bridgehead - this was a pre-arranged signal, indicating that the enemy was approaching, and the angels on the ground The king's warriors immediately entered the fighting position under the command of the male ant commander and stood ready.
The enemy appears!
The first thing to be discovered was the parasitic dragonflies in twos and threes in the air, approaching in formation. The bee flying knights immediately left the sky above the bridgehead and rushed forward bravely.
Although the parasitized dragonfly was obviously no match for so many bees, the parasitic dragonfly whose brain had been controlled did not escape, but continued to move forward recklessly.
Bees and dragonflies collided fiercely in the air. The dragonfly, which is good at turning and stopping, was not as flexible as before after being parasitized. It was quickly hugged by the bees swarming up. Its wings were unable to support such a heavy weight, and it slowly struggled to fall. Come down to the ground.
The parasitic dragonfly fell heavily to the ground, and the flying bee knights huddled up on it felt uncomfortable and fell to pieces on the ground.
However, the bees soon recovered under the control of the flying knights. Before the parasitic dragonflies could react, they swarmed up and bit off their wings first.
Biting wings is not an easy task for bees, which have chewing-sucking mouthparts with small mandibles and long straws. However, with their numerical advantage, the bees quickly picked up the parasites that fell to the ground and were unable to take off. The dragonfly bites were all over his body.
The flying knights on the bees' backs also use spears made of wood fiber to stab or drive away the parasitic fungi that try to attack.
The battle between the bee flying knights and the parasitic dragonflies, which turned from air combat to land combat, ended quickly. Relying on bite and heat tactics, the bee flying knights wiped out the enemy air force with zero casualties and regained air supremacy.
At this time, the parasitic army and navy troops were belatedly arriving.
Troops of these parasitic bacteria gather from different directions.
On the water, the dark carapace of several parasitic dragon lice drew a long path on the water, and quickly moved towards the bridgehead. The area near the bridgehead is also their regular gathering place every day.
In addition to the parasitic dragon lice, parasitic water spiders also gathered from the waters in different directions.
On the contrary, the land route leading to the bridgehead was a narrow stretch of land winding through the water, and the parasitic beast's army moved forward in a group.
According to reports from Bee Flying Knight, the enemy army arriving today has hundreds of parasitic ants and more than a dozen parasitic beasts, including parasitic centipedes, parasitic spiders, parasitic tiger beetles and parasitic scarabs.
The number of troops on the side of the parasite is not very large, much less than the troops gathered when [Swamp City] was first discovered by them. This is also an adjustment to the parasitic bacteria after it was discovered that the army could not attack the defenders for many days in a row, but whether it was intentional or natural, the protagonist is not sure yet.
According to previous experience, parasitized ants or other insects only retain most of their instincts. Only some queen ants and special light golden worker ants can still think. These queens or light golden worker ants are obviously capable of precision. They can control the actions of parasitic ants, but can they command the parasitic beasts with their fingers? The protagonist is still doubtful.
The enemy army also has the same kind of pale golden worker ants that the protagonist encountered in [Southern Fortress] before. They have five thread-parasitic fungi heading north. This kind of worker ants have very good eyesight. They can even see the [Swamp City] across the water before. The protagonists in it look at each other.
After the large army of parasitic bacteria arrived outside the bridgehead, the enemy couldn't wait to launch an attack.
At this time, it can be seen that the command of this army composed of ants, different insects, and arthropods is chaotic: except for the parasitic ants, which are restrained by the pale golden worker ants, they advance at a relatively uniform speed and maintain their formation. Classes are completely independent.
The parasitic dragon lice completely ignored the bridgehead and went to the old position of [Swamp City] and started spraying water cannons. They seemed to have a grudge against the outer wall of [Swamp City] and vowed to knock it down.
The parasitic water spiders linger on the surface of the water. They will not come ashore rashly, but they will not pose a threat to the Angel King's army if they stay in the water.
On the ground, the only parasitic tiger beetle had already rushed over, leaving the other parasitic beasts far behind. This parasitic tiger beetle is extremely fast. The protagonist only sees an afterimage, and the enemy has already arrived at the city.
In a field battle, this parasitic tiger beetle would be enough to disrupt a legion's defense line simply by virtue of its speed and assault power.
But in the defensive battle, facing the high stones and the city wall above, the parasitic tiger beetle could only stop and start climbing, and its speed suddenly dropped.
By the time it climbed up the bridgehead wall, its proud speed had been lost. The ant warriors of the Angel King's Army were not afraid of this big man with well-developed jaws. They quickly swarmed up and killed him with the characteristic siege of ants. , although it also took some casualties under its jaws.
After the parasitic tiger beetle was beaten to death, the second wave of parasitic beetles and parasitic spiders arrived at the bottom of the city, and then also climbed up.
The parasitic scarabs have no special characteristics except that they are stronger. Moreover, the ones that came this time were small scarabs. The three parasitic scarabs soon took a beating at the first line of defense.
However, the two parasitic spiders are more annoying. These spiders did not directly attack the defense line of the warriors of the Angel King, but sprayed spider silk from a distance!
