The sound coming from the air could be heard every day on the frightened escape route, and all the defeated troops knew what it was.
At this time, there was a group of shadows not far away in the sky approaching quickly, and soon revealed its ferocious face - it was a group of parasitic wasps!
Before the Parasitic Wasp appeared, the defeated troops on the north bank of Black Creek had already hurriedly squeezed towards the only pontoon bridge. Originally, they no longer had any organization, and the coalition forces maintaining order were only on the south bank. Now it was even more chaotic. .
In the chaos of soldiers and ants, a large number of ants climbed up the narrow pontoon bridge. Not only were there far more ants on the bridge than the normal flow, but there were also ants on the sides and bottom climbing desperately, even stepping on the bodies of their own species and squeezing forward on their heads. I want to set foot on the safe land of the south bank as soon as possible.
With the chaos and crowding, many ants were squeezed into the stream. The exhausted person who fell into the water was washed away after a brief struggle. From the moment he fell, he was destined to be unable to be rescued.
At this time, the parasitic wasps arrived above the pontoon and began to dive and attack.
On the anti-aircraft position on the south bank of the bridge, dozens of anti-aircraft guns conducted two rounds of blocking fire, because the target of the parasitic wasps' attack was not the fortress itself, but the pontoon bridge slightly farther away. For shotguns, the killing effect at this distance is limited, and Doesn't provide good cover for friendly forces on the bridge.
Only a few parasitic wasps were shot down. On the contrary, some of the ants on the north side of the pontoon were hit by the shotgun gravel that had exhausted its momentum. Fortunately, the kinetic energy had decayed and no accidental injuries were caused.
During the intervals between reloading of anti-aircraft artillery fire, hundreds of parasitic wasps made multiple dives. Each attack was accompanied by some ants being bitten to pieces by their jaws, or pierced by stings, or being fanned into the water, or panicked. Frustrated, he ran away.
The already chaotic pontoon scene became even more chaotic.
It wasn't until the flying knights heard the news that the anti-aircraft artillery fire started again that the parasitic wasps were driven away, and order was restored to the team crossing the bridge.
But today's battle is far from over...
The reconnaissance flying knight who went out for reconnaissance reported that there were still large groups of parasitic flying insects approaching. At the same time, the vanguard of the parasitic army on the ground had arrived only half a day away, and the fastest parasitic cockroaches might accelerate to the Black Creek at any time.
The defeated black fire ant army on the north bank, which had somewhat restored order, was still seizing the time to cross the river, but there were still as many as a thousand ants stranded, and more ants continued to join them, many of which were even deliberately driven away by the parasitic army.
The ants that arrived at the south bank would be taken to the fire for inspection after their physical strength recovered slightly. This method was very effective. Some ants that already had parasitic bacteria in their bodies had abnormal reactions when they were near high temperatures for a short time, and were subsequently caught.
The most powerful thing was a bloated black fire ant warrior with twenty or thirty hyphae sprouting out of its body. These parasitic bacteria were eliminated after they were discovered. If they were hidden in the fortress, they would be in big trouble!
At this time, Zhu Jue and the senior commanders of the joint meeting had gathered in the conference room. The commanders stationed in the east and west fortresses did not go to the meeting in person, but communicated through the underground cobblestone telegraph lines. Although they relied on the ant power of the ant signal corps There will be a slight delay in transmission, which has also come as a surprise to attendees.
Some ant commanders immediately realized the military utility of this new technology and secretly hoped to purchase or imitate it. It's just that this is not a good time to discuss this matter with the Ant Alliance. The situation is urgent, and Zhu Jue has already set the topic straight to the point on whether to burn the pontoon bridge immediately.
The ground forward of the parasitic army is very close, and the large force can arrive today. The pontoon bridge is the weakest link in the Black Creek defense line. Only by destroying the pontoon bridge can the parasitic army of up to one million people be prevented from crossing the stream directly.
Even if the parasitic army could use water bugs to cross the river, the efficiency would not be the same as walking on a pontoon bridge.
Therefore, Zhu Jue proposed that the bridge should be burned immediately and the road blocked. He thought that the thousands of black fire ant ants stranded on the north bank should be abandoned.
The "Black Fire Ant" King of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom was stationed at the west fortress. His message was sent back half a minute later. He still hoped to wait for a while, at least for the male Black Fire Ants on the north bank to withdraw. A rough estimate would be Twenty or thirty, supposedly they can go very quickly.
The king of these male black fire ants is not something that can be abandoned casually. If he dies in battle or retreats, there is nothing to say. If he is abandoned in front of the "Black Charcoal" king, the king's meeting will not let him go.
He is relatively junior, but he is in a high position by chance. The senior king has long been unwilling to see him, so he dare not leave any excuse at this time - in the ant world, such political struggles also exist among the nobles.
Zhu Jue weighed it up and agreed. He asked the flying knight to fly to the north bank to find the male black fire ants and let them squeeze across the river as quickly as possible. At the same time, he airlifted more than ten black fire ant warriors to assist and protect those who wanted to cross the river. The king asked the soldiers at the end of the bridge who were preparing to burn the bridge to get ready, and launched a three-pronged approach.
These orders were transmitted everywhere through cobblestone telegraph lines, and then deployed quickly through the arrangements of grassroots commanders.
Although there are only a few dozen black fire ant kings on the north shore, it is not a simple matter to find and arrange for them to cross the bridge first in the chaos and crowds. The ants that have lost their organization simply ignore the calls made by the male ants at this time. The signal is just an instinctive escape.
When another wave of parasitic flying insects flew in and tried to attack the ants on the pontoon, an accident happened! ! !
A group of combat flying knights who were guarding the airspace nearby arrived, used common tactics to occupy the high altitude, and then began to dive and start throwing fire bombs and slings.
When the combat flying knights drew beautiful U-shaped trajectories in the sky, hundreds of bolides fell erratically in the sky, quickly causing death and injury among the parasitic flying insects.
However, a blazing fire bomb was falling, constantly changing its direction due to air currents, and it was drifting all the way towards the explosives at the bridge.
The soldiers on the ground who were in charge of the blasting team of God Envoy King were still looking up at the fierce battle in the air. The team leader was the first to notice that something was wrong. But it was useless even if he noticed it. He couldn't stop the fire bombs from approaching from the air.
When the fire bomb fell down and accurately stuck to a bomb, the soldiers of the God's Envoy King woke up from a dream and quickly picked up the sand to put out the fire bomb.
However, the blazing fire bombs had quickly burned through the shell of the bomb.
Then a small explosion suddenly exploded, killing or injuring more than a dozen God Envoy King warriors around.
What's even more terrible is that this is a bomb used to ignite the pontoon bridge. The line of fire quickly spreads along the bridge deck that was already poured with grease. There are hundreds of ants crossing the bridge on the bridge, and there are thousands of ants on the other side. Ants crossing the bridge and more than a dozen black fire ant kings...
