At first, it was just a raging wave of parasitic corn ants trying to flood [Bread City] alone. But in the afternoon, parasitic beasts and parasitic ants from other places got the news from unknown sources and came to reinforce.
Large groups of parasitic ants crowded on the narrow land bridge, and there were all kinds of parasitic war beasts whether on land, water or in the air. Even the Hollywood big screen cannot describe the spectacle and intensity of this scene.
[Bread City] is surrounded by ten floors inside and outside, like a rock in the stormy sea, or like a small boat in the storm. It looks extremely dangerous, but it always remains firm and will never sink.
At the beginning, the flying bee knights of the Angel King's Army were still flying outside, throwing slings at enemies on the ground from time to time to harass them. They can also deal with small numbers of enemy flying war beasts.
But as the enemy flying beasts gathered more and more, it seemed that the parasitic bacteria forces threw all the wealth in the swamp into this battlefield. In addition, some war beasts such as parasitic mantises, parasitic locusts, and parasitic centipedes also have the ability to threaten low-flying flying knights. After losing several flying knights, the bee flying knights began to retreat and safely retreated into the [Bread City] fortress from a "door" reserved on the top of the [Bread City] protective net.
In this way, the air supremacy that was not easy to grasp was given away again, and the only thing the ants could rely on was the fortress.
Fortunately, the location of [Bread City] is quite good, half of it is adjacent to the water, and it is only half a meter high from the water. The power of the water cannon shot by the parasitic dragon louse is greatly reduced.
The other half is close to the land, but it is built on carbonized rotten wood that has fallen sideways. The passages from the rotten wood to the outside world are also blocked by ant concrete.
The parasitic ants and war beasts must first climb the smooth, moss-covered rotten tree trunks less than half a meter high, and then drill through a strong protective net with small holes before they can attack the city walls and defenders.
Prior to this, those who were injured, had poor climbing ability, and were too large had difficulty climbing or crawling through obstacles.
The Legion of the God Envoy King only needs to concentrate on dealing with enemies who directly attack the city wall or try to destroy the protective net.
On the city wall, the warriors of the God Envoy King took turns sticking their heads out, biting off the heads of the parasitic ants that had finally climbed up, or pushing them down with force.
At a high place, the protagonist commanded two ballistas to fire rapidly. Sometimes ten stone bullets were shot out in pieces, instantly plowing out a bloody open space in the dense enemy formation; sometimes a single large stone bullet hit a huge parasite. The war beast punches a huge bloody bullet hole in its body; sometimes it fires a giant arrow with complicated workmanship, accurately hitting the parasitic war beasts that pose the greatest threat to the protective net.
Because there were too many enemies, too dense and crowded, the number of parasitic ants and parasitic war beasts that died from trampling on each other and suffocation due to crowding was no less than those who died in battle.
The time of fighting is always so long and short. When waiting for the sun to set in the west and prepare to set, the parasitic ants have already left tens of thousands of corpses, piled up in a thick layer under the rotten trees, and were gradually covered by the swamp. The tide washes it back and forth, carrying it away.
Even though there are many parasitic dragon lice and parasitic water spiders in the water, there are also large groups of shrimps and crabs coming over to feast on the bodies that have fallen into the water. Even the living thread parasitic fungi are caught and eaten by them - these shrimps and crabs seem to be completely unafraid. Parasitic bacteria.
Finally, because it was getting late, the parasitic army began to retreat. The flying knights of the Divine Envoy King's Legion took the opportunity to take off again and watched the enemy retreat.
Afterwards, the soldiers of the God's Envoy King began to leave the city, throwing all the nearby corpses that could cause the plague into the water to feed the shrimps and crabs.
Today's battle is over. Although the number of enemies is too large and it looks very dangerous, in fact [Bread City] did not encounter much danger. It was not even as bad as the first time the Angel King's army was forced to retreat from [Bridgehead]. The battle was dangerous.
After a battle, the parasitic army left behind about 10,000 corpses of parasitic ant warriors and hundreds of corpses of parasitic war beasts. However, the Divine Envoy King's army itself suffered slight losses, less than three digits.
But in the face of such results, the protagonist has a headache. Judging from the number of enemies dispatched today, even if the Divine Envoy King's army eliminates so many enemies every day, it will take ten days and a half to kill them all.
After all, even if there are more than 100,000 yellow mealworms, lining up to be slaughtered by the warriors of the Divine Envoy King will take a lot of time.
The protagonist does not plan to spend ten days and a half here. Although this bun hill is weird, the protagonist is not here to solve puzzles. As long as all the parasitic ants are killed, the protagonist does not even plan to control this barren land for a long time. Swamp, whatever weird things happen, don't mind your own business.
Judging from the aerial reconnaissance at night, less than one-tenth of this swamp has been set foot in and controlled by the Angel King's army. The protagonist feels that he must go deeper before the troops withdraw when the weather turns cold.
——I am the dividing line——
At night, the moonlight was bright, and the night fog that had plagued the swamp all year round was much lighter today, at least not enough to block the moonlight from illuminating this gloomy world.
The moon is reflected on the water of the swamp, and reflects the bright silver light on the fine waves.
In the distance, there are the mating calls of crickets, grasshoppers and other chirping insects, and the swamps at night appear as vibrant as during the day.
Bun Hill is also "vibrant" here. A large group of ants are active on the top of the hill. These are not parasitic corn ants, but warriors of the God Envoy King.
Since during the day, due to terrain restrictions and the priority of ensuring the safety of [Bread City], the Divine Envoy King's army was unable to kill a large number of enemies. Then take advantage of the night when the enemies have retreated into their lairs before taking action.
The Legion of the God Envoy King has already used this tactic with great proficiency. Whether it is in [Bridgehead] or [Stump City], after every battle, the flying knights will track the retreating enemies, find their lairs, and then prepare for the warriors who attack at night. Provide guidance.
This time, the enemy's nest on the Bun Hill was too huge, and sneak attacks alone would not work. However, the Angel King's Legion had a successful tactic a long time ago - the smoke attack.
With the guidance of information packets from previous successful battles, a group of warriors of the God's Envoy King were able to collect the knotweeds with ease, open up the partitions between them, connect them to each other and apply ant glue on the joints.
Another group excavated a combustion chamber not far from the entrance and exit of the enemy's nest, and a group of Divine Envoy King warriors were responsible for collecting fuel such as hay and suitable smoke-generating materials.
The warriors who excavated the combustion chamber quickly reported that after digging down for less than half a meter, they encountered a "rock" and could no longer dig.
The protagonist was too lazy to get into the dirty and muddy underground that had just been excavated to inspect. After the ants excavating reported that the combustion chamber space was enough and no need to dig deeper, he forgot about it.
