On April 10, the Black Fire Ant Nation's West Route Army that crossed the Black Creek officially marched forward, leaving only 18 legions of more than 20,000 soldiers guarding the road behind the bridge.
The parasitic army has not yet completed its assembly at this time. There are only about 300,000 parasitic ants and more than 1,000 parasitic beasts gathered around "Parasite Roll", and half of the troops are on their way to the battlefield.
Faced with the aggressive oppression of the black fire ant army, "Parasite Roll" chose to deploy defenses based on the terrain in the rock face area where the last battle was fought, blocking the offensive and waiting for reinforcements to arrive and encircle them.
The second battle on the rock face breaks out!
Compared with the first battle on the rock face, the offensive and defensive sides were completely different in this battle and invested more troops.
King "Black Coal" did not expect that the battle would take place here. He had never been to this place in the Western Territory, but when he learned about the situation from the defeated army in the Western Territory, he saw something on the rock battlefield more than once in the information package. Every tree and grass, every stone and water.
The scenery here is similar to that of more than a week ago, except that there are many more corpses on the ground - they are all the dead from the previous battle.
The entire battlefield was densely covered with corpses and wreckage, especially on and in front of the rocks, where they were piled up like a blanket.
At this time, all the corpses on the rock surface were discarded due to the need of the parasitic army's defense, and they piled up on the rock surface to form a mountain of corpses.
Parasitic bacteria are different from destroyers. They are not interested in dead ants, and their superior disease resistance makes them not care about the large number of germs produced by the decay of corpses. Therefore, the land conquered by the Destroyer is always free of ant traces, but where the parasitic ants are rampant, there are corpses everywhere.
Under the humidity and warming of spring, these corpses have not yet decomposed extensively, and all kinds of scavengers and fungi have begun to eat happily.
Some fly maggots were rolling in the corpses and mud, some had pupated, and adult flies were flying among them. Some yellow-brown fungi grow from the ant corpses, and countless lives are circulating energy here.
The arrival of the black fire ant army disrupted this "peaceful" scene. Various insects either flew away and crawled away, or burrowed into the soil, leaving only the immovable fungus alone in the originally bustling cemetery.
After detecting the deployment of the parasitic army, the black fire ant army formed a formation outside the battlefield and approached the rock face in a traditional left-center-right formation.
Among them, there are 80,000 troops on the left and right wings, and about 30,000 black fire ant warriors themselves, divided into three lines: front, middle and back.
The Chinese army is the main force in the attack, with more than 200,000 troops. The Black Fire Ants themselves also have about 80,000 soldiers, who are also divided into three fronts: front, middle and back.
King "Black Coal" also has a guard force and general reserve force of 9 legions. The number exceeds 10,000. The number of troops is not large, but they are all composed of the most elite black fire ant veterans, and they are all equipped with weapons from the Ant Alliance and The stone jaw knives and soft leather armor purchased and recruited by the Northern Expeditionary Army clan have a combat effectiveness that cannot be underestimated.
The defense line of the parasitic army is centered on the rock face position. More than 100,000 parasitic ants have laid out two thick lines of defense on the rock face. The rock surface is higher in the west and lower in the east, and there are cliffs in some areas on the easternmost side. The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The parasitic army also prepared a lot of sand and branches as defensive tools.
The narrow position on the left wing on the north side of the rock face is defended by a small number of parasitic ants. In the pool next to it, there are looming figures of parasitic dragon lice and parasitic water striders.
The right-wing position on the south side of the rock face is guarded by 50,000 parasitic ants and a small number of parasitic beasts. Its specific layout is not clearly visible in the dense vegetation.
"Parasite Roll" concentrates all large and medium-sized parasite beasts in its own formation as a mobile defense force. After being purified, he still retained his previous habit of personally commanding tank troops.
In the air, a brain under "Parasite Roll" controlled hundreds of parasitic flying insects to hover over the battlefield, monitoring the movements of the black fire ant army.
————
As the first line of the three-pronged army of black fire ants enters the battlefield, marching steadily through the mud and corpses, the two sides are about to confront each other, and the battle has officially begun!
It was the defenders who launched the attack first. The parasitic insects in the air repeatedly circled and confirmed the positions of some of the commanders of the black fire ant army, including the army commander and the squad leader.
The parasitic flying insect begins to swoop, preparing to attack its target with its jaws, stingers and stinging tubes.
King "Black Coal" made targeted arrangements, and different ant legions were mixed together. Many ants and red forest ant warriors were evenly interspersed in the battle line in small teams.
At this time, facing the air attack, these soldiers responsible for air defense used dense sprays of formic acid to prevent the parasitic flying insects from swooping down, and other troops began to speed up.
Although such tactics were not lethal enough, they also had a certain interference effect. Only a few black fire ant army commanders died from "decapitation" from the air.
The black fire ant army will not always be passively beaten. The troops on the front line received instructions from the messengers and gradually accelerated their movement forward. The originally straight line soon became distorted.
This scene is very similar to the effect after F1+F3 in a certain hack and slash.
The army of black fire ants quickly rushed under the rock face in the middle road. The troops on the north side of the middle road walked directly onto the rock face from the gentle slope and fought with the parasitic ants defending here.
The black fire ant warriors on the south side of the middle road still have to climb the cliff. They step on the hill made of corpses and then climb a wet and slippery cliff covered with moss. The parasitic ants above constantly dropped sand, stones, sticks, and even large amounts of parasitic mycelium to block the feint attack of the black fire ant army.
The left wing of the black fire ant army joined the battle later. They got into the grass on the south side of the rock face. There was a shadow in the gaps between the huge and dense grass. It was like a giant ant-choosing mouth, and tens of thousands of ants quickly disappeared in it. .
If it weren't for the unnatural shaking of the blades of grass and the vibrations coming from the ground, the troops behind would have known that the frontline soldiers were still fighting. Otherwise, there would always be the illusion that they had all been swallowed by the shadows.
Compared with the increasingly fierce fighting on the left and center, the right wing of the black fire ant army did not progress smoothly from the beginning, and collapsed several times without even touching the parasitic ant's position.
When the right-wing first-line troops arrived near the water pool, they began to gather from the horizontal formation into a tighter formation and attack along the passage between the water pool and the rock face.
More than 20 parasitic dragon lice suddenly emerged from the turquoise surface of the pool. Several rounds of water cannon volleys disrupted the formation of the black fire ant army, causing its first wave of offensive to collapse.
The water cannon attack is not very lethal, but it is enough to dampen the fighting spirit of ants who are afraid of water.
The black fire ant warriors did not have any long-range attack methods, so they organized a wave of air defense ants and red forest ants to spray formic acid at the pond. Because the range was not enough and the formic acid was easily diluted by the pond water, it had no lethality.
The right-wing troops made several attacks and were defeated by the water cannon. After the "Black Coal" king got the report, he ordered them to withdraw and stay outside the range of the water cannon.
