When the Black Fire Ant Warriors faced the Parasitic God Envoy King Warriors for the first time, they were obviously not used to their tactics and fighting style.
If we simply compete for bravery and sacrifice, then the black fire ant warriors are no worse than any parasitic ant that has lost its fear of death. In terms of size and strength, the black fire ant warriors are also better than the parasitic angel king warriors.
However, the elite troops of the parasitic big-headed ant warriors acted as the vanguard and quickly broke through multiple lines of defense. Obviously, their combat effectiveness was beyond the simple imagination of the black fire ant warriors.
Such combat effectiveness is not only due to those rusty bronze armors. Even with most of their instincts left, these original God Emissary King warriors, the original Big-headed Ants, still retain the habit of fighting in array, retain their exquisite coordination with each other, and are good at the condescending decapitation tactics of lying on the front row. .
This style of play is truly difficult to resist for the Black Fire Ant warriors who are used to showing off their individual prowess in battle.
The black fire ant army does not have formations, but their formations are more used for cover and defense. The purpose is to prevent the vulnerable sides of the fighting warriors from being flanked. When fighting with the enemy, they still have to rely on the strong individual combat power of the individual. To achieve killing, it is not like the God's Envoy King's army that rushes in like a wall and uses the jaw knife array to cause damage.
The tactical advantage allowed the Parasitic God Warrior King to lead other parasitic ants all the way into the depths of the ant mound on the ground.
If it weren't for the small number of Parasitic God Envoy King warriors controlled by the brain of "Parasite Ikkyu" and all of them had already entered the battlefield, the black fire ant defenders would have been driven underground today.
Finally, the commander of the black fire ant army wisely mobilized a large number of troops to cut the intruding parasitic ants into two pieces, allowing the Parasitic God Envoy King warriors to disconnect from the other parasitic ants that followed.
There were only a few hundred Parasitic God Envoy King warriors who had no intention of breaking out. Instead, they gathered in several nests to hold on, still waiting for the troops behind to catch up and continue the attack.
The black fire ant warriors repeatedly attacked these nests, but they lost many troops and generals and could not enter.
Finally, the commander of the black fire ant garrison mobilized a large number of vassal ants, and the supervising team followed behind, forcing them to approach and spray formic acid regardless of casualties. There were hundreds of dead ants, acid was flowing everywhere in the small space, and the air was filled with a sour smell.
The warriors of the Parasitic God King were severely weakened by the acid rain and mist. Their armor was corroded, their compound eyes and limbs were damaged, and the parasitic bacteria on their bodies also withered away in the acid mist, and they were no longer as heroic as before.
Subsequently, the defenders organized a death squad composed of the elites of the black fire ant clan, and braved the acid mist that did not dissipate to rush in and fight. In a battle of attrition that killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses, they finally defeated all these Parasitic God Envoy King warriors. wipe out.
It was almost dusk at this time, and after sensing that all the soldiers of the Parasitic God Envoy King had lost their voice, "Parasite Ikkyu" did not organize a new offensive, and ordered the surrounding parasite army to withdraw and camp in the woods.

In the evening, the commanders of the black fire ant garrison gathered together to study the corpses of several parasitic god envoy king warriors that had been carried over.
The combat effectiveness of these parasitic angel king warriors impressed the defenders commanders. They didn't know how many such warriors there were among the parasitic ants besieging the fortress. If there were thousands of them, the defenders would be in trouble.
You know, in order to eliminate these 300 parasitic Angel King warriors today, the defenders paid 6-7 times the casualties, accounting for nearly half of this year's total losses.
The senior commanders of the fortress carefully looked at the corpses in front of them, trying to discern any clues and find weaknesses in the corpses that were rusted by formic acid.
I don't know what they have researched, but in the middle of the night, six messengers were ordered to quietly leave the fortress, preparing to rush to the main nest overnight to deliver today's information.
During the day, there were parasitic wasps in the sky, and the messenger could not escape at all. The garrison commander could only send out the messenger at night.
The messenger left the fortress, and the bright moonlight in the sky illuminated the road on the ground.
The messenger laboriously used his tentacles to search for the long-lasting pheromone mark leading to the main nest on the ground that was in a mess due to the battle.
The night is quiet, except for the chirping of crickets from time to time, and only the sound of wind and swaying grass and trees.
In the monotonous background music, several fortress couriers set out in batches. As long as one courier arrived at the destination, the mission was successfully completed.
But what they didn't know and couldn't see was that under the cover of night, those chirping crickets quietly approached when they stopped singing, and started chirping instinctively after walking a few steps.
Their eyes are blazing, and they see it as day in the dark night, while the parasitic hyphae are swaying in the wind in the gaps in their carapace...
…

Another day passed, and the parasitic army continued to ferociously besiege the fortress.
This time, the parasitic army did not send out parasitic beetles to destroy the ant mound, nor did it send out the Parasitic God Envoy King warriors to launch an attack. The parasitic ants switched to the ant sea tactic. Tens of thousands of parasitic ants covered the surface of the ant mound. Dig into the anthill and into the ground through any hole you can find.
The defenders also resisted resolutely on all lines of defense, constantly killing parasitic ants, and constantly consuming their strength under tremendous pressure. They retreated step by step, one after another to the second and third lines of defense.
At noon, under the personal command of the fortress commander, the defenders organized thousands of elite soldiers to launch a counterattack. They waved torches and forced the parasitic ants, who were afraid of flames and high temperatures, to retreat step by step.
When the torches burned out, the counterattacking defenders continued to advance, using their jaws and stingers to continuously kill the parasitic ants whose formation was already somewhat chaotic, thus regaining a lot of lost ground in one fell swoop.
Under the fire attack, the parasitic ants, whose formations were scattered and their troops were destroyed, finally got the retreat order from their brains.
Afterwards, the slave ants in the defenders quickly began to clean the battlefield, using new torches to eliminate the remaining parasitic bacteria, and sent the wounded soldiers to the depths of the nest for treatment, and repaired the fortifications to prepare for the next wave of enemy ants.
Until more than half of the afternoon, the parasitic ant army did not launch a new offensive. Just when the defenders thought that the enemy had exhausted all its cards, there was nothing they could do about it.
Outside the ant mound, there was suddenly a huge impact sound, one after another, continuous.
This sound was like the sound of huge raindrops falling on the anthills during the remaining heavy rains, but it sounded faster and more powerful!
The defenders didn't know what was happening. They only felt the anthill vibrating slightly.
Because of the parasitic wasps' blockade, none of the defenders who were ordered to go out for inspection could come back. The fortress commanders intuitively felt something was wrong, but they had no idea what was happening and couldn't deal with it!
