The scene that I least expected to see happened.
The protagonist only feels that the God of Time Travel has been joking with him. The worst result always seems to happen every time. Maybe the smooth traveler is not what the God of Time Travel wants to see. After all, even variety shows have to create grooves. Well, let alone a time-travel drama.
Now, it's the turn of the protagonist's walnut ship fleet, which cannot afford to lose, to face bad luck.
The parasitic beast's air force is flying in from the south. Judging from the intensive flapping of wings, the number is quite large, at least double digits.
Although the fog is thick today, the protagonist can hardly see the specific situation of the enemies killed, but according to the past rules, the enemies flew from the hinterland of the swamp in the south, gathered from different directions to the south of [Swamp City], and then swarmed towards this place. Come and kill.
The protagonist still can't figure out how these creatures parasitized by the parasitic fungus, which are obviously different species, can coordinate and attack towards the same goal - although there are also some incoordination, such as whether the large parasitic war beast will Be careful to trample to death or injure your smaller companions.
But just this ability of cross-species communication and coordination has already made the protagonist very envious. At least now, the flying knights of the Divine Envoy King's Legion and the mounts of flies and bees do not have such a tacit understanding. It seems that the parasite hides many more secrets than the protagonist has already discovered.
The parasitic beasts in the air soon came to the top of [Swamp City]. The protagonist saw clearly at a close distance this time that the enemies in the air were nine parasitic dragonflies and three parasitic wasps.
The three parasitoid wasps are very small and can easily get in through the holes in the air defense net. The size of these holes is reserved according to the body shape of the ants. Both the hunter ants and the big-headed soldier ants can get in freely. drill out, but larger insects cannot.
However, these parasitic wasps that have got in are weak on their own. They can only pose a threat by launching desperate raids in chaotic battles. They directly face the defenders and launch a frontal attack. They end up being killed by a wave of stones. Can bring any harm to the defenders.
The parasitic dragonflies lay on the air defense net, threatening the God's Angel King warriors who were protected by the air defense net with their jaws wide open, but it had no effect, just as the stones fired by the God's Angel King warriors hit the dragonflies from a distance and had no effect. The lethality is the same.
Some parasitic dragonflies try to bite the air defense net. Insects infected by parasitic bacteria often have a certain level of strength and intelligence. Ordinary dragonflies may not think of destroying the air defense net.
But the air defense net is made of ropes as thick as an ant's waist. The material is a mixture of tough plant fibers and flexible ant silk. It has high strength and tensile resistance. According to past experience, the parasitic dragonflies can stay alive all day long. Even trying to bite off a rope is difficult.
At night, the ants will repair and replace the damaged ropes. The parasitic dragonflies have never succeeded in destroying a hole big enough to get in. At this time, the pair of large wings that give them superb flight capabilities become the dragonflies' hole-drilling hole. the biggest obstacle.
Even if you destroy a hole and you can get in, what's the use?
The air defense net covered [Swamp City] in all directions, and the parasitic dragonflies that got in did not have enough space to fly freely. Instead, they were trapped at every step and could easily fall into prey.
A few days ago, the protagonist would have let the soldiers of the God Envoy King hide in the anthills with peace of mind, letting these parasitic dragonflies go and destroy the air defense net in vain. Many parasitic dragonflies don't even wait for the sun to set before giving up and flying away.
But today, in order to cover the walnut ship fleet not far away, prevent them from being discovered prematurely and attacked by the parasitic dragonflies. The protagonist had to let the troops assemble outdoors, constantly making various noises to cover up the sound of the fleet's progress, and also attract the attention of parasitic dragonflies, so that they would not notice the fleet not far away.
Previously, when sending the Bee Flying Knight to contact the walnut ship fleet, the protagonist forgot to inform them not to dock yet to avoid being attacked.
Now, no matter how slowly the walnut ship fleet advances, sooner or later it will dock and be discovered by the enemy. All the protagonist can do is to delay as much time as possible, so that the time for the walnut ship fleet to be attacked will be shorter soon. As long as the sun goes down, the enemy will naturally retreat.
Anyway, as long as the warriors of the God Envoy King on the walnut ship fleet hide in the solid walnuts, they are very safe, and the parasitic dragonflies in the sky are also helpless.
The soldiers of the God's Messenger King braved the water cannons of a few parasitic dragon lice and insisted on outdoor activities to attract the enemy's attention. Fortunately, only two parasitic dragon lice arrived today. There was a blind spot between the angles of their water cannons, and they were also blocked by the air defense net, greatly reducing their power. There was no case of the ant warriors being knocked unconscious.
Finally, the morning fog slowly dissipated helplessly, and the tall masts and huge sails of the walnut ship fleet were very conspicuous and could no longer be disguised.
But it was not the parasitic dragonflies who first discovered the walnut boat fleet. I don’t know whether the parasitic dragonflies’ attention was completely attracted by the provocative God Envoy King warriors on the ground, or whether they regarded the walnut boat fleet as ordinary floating objects. They didn't react at first.
On the other hand, there are a few parasitic water spiders that have been swimming outside. Their race is extremely sensitive to the ripples of the water. They rely on the sensing organs on their feet to sense the movement of their prey in the water to find food.
They were the first to detect the ripples of water emitted by the movement of the walnut ship fleet, just as radar detected the enemy.
Anyway, these water spiders couldn't attack [Swamp City]. Several parasitic water spiders immediately swam towards the walnut boat fleet out of curiosity. Their speed on the water was extremely agile. With four long limbs swinging, they had already crossed several times in a moment. decimeters away.
The parasitic water spiders quickly approached the walnut ship fleet. The protagonist fully hoped that the soldiers on the ship would hide. It was best not to move until the ship docked. The bee flying knights also stayed away, so that the enemy would soon attack them. This "dead thing" has lost interest.
However, the soldiers on the ship obviously do not have such a twisted mind as the protagonist.
The ant warriors who walked straight ahead immediately launched a long-range counterattack by throwing stones after the parasitic water spider approached. As the wind was favorable, they did not move out. The bees lying on the fleet and resting were also lifted up under the control of the flying knights to prepare for battle.
This time, as if a hornet's nest had been stabbed, the parasitic dragonflies and parasitic dragonflies that had been surrounding [Swamp City] suddenly realized that this huge "floating object" was also a living thing, and quickly gave up their original goal and rushed over to kill it.
The protagonist anxiously watched the enemy attack the walnut ship fleet just a few meters away. He could do nothing but hope that the fleet could withstand the blow and not suffer too much loss.
