Parasitic ants are the most numerous main force in the parasitic army, and parasitic corn ants are the all-round warriors among parasitic ants.
Whether it is fighting in formation on the ground or fighting in complex environments on the trees, the corn ants are competent. They can use their mandibles to fight in close combat, and they can also spray formic acid at mid-range. They are also very tenacious in fighting will. Combined with their large numbers and easy recruitment among native ant tribes in the wild, the ants became one of the most abundant of the parasitic ant tribes.
At this moment, the parasitic corn ants swarmed in and quickly ran into the tight defense line of the civilized ant coalition.
This line of defense has 30 Angel King Infantry Legions from the Ant Alliance as the core. Troops from other ant tribes are interspersed among the different legion arrays. There are also 20 Angel King Infantry Legions at the rear as a second-line reserve.
At such a close range, artillery was no longer able to provide support, otherwise it would cause accidental damage. The two sides fought entirely with strength and courage.
Despite their small size, the parasitic corn ants are about the same size as the worker ants of the big-headed ant, and one size smaller than the soldier ants. However, they have a very fierce temperament. After being parasitized, they are even more fearless and fearless of death. They pounce on them in groups.
But they retreated faster than the predictions of some parasitic brains who thought they understood the combat power of the Angel King's army, in front of the warriors of the Angel King who were well-armed and had the same high fighting will.
The iron jaw knife of the warrior of the God's Messenger King is sharper than the copper jaw knife. With just one bite, it can cut off any part of the body of the parasitic corn ant. However, the large jaws of the parasitic corn ants can hardly pose a threat to the armored warriors of the God's Envoy King. Life and death on the battlefield only happen in a blink of an eye, and most parasitic corn ants have no time to find unarmored weak points to attack.
Even if the parasitic corn ants were desperate and sprayed formic acid at close range, covering themselves and the warriors of the Angel King, and wanted to fight for their lives, the warriors of the Angel King would have already had a way to deal with it.
This is not the first time that the Angel King’s Army has been attacked by acid or acid mist. In order to protect these elite warriors, the God’s Angel King’s Army has a complete set of response plans: those covered warriors immediately retreat under the cover of their companions, and are assisted by their companions at the rear. , use sand or plants to wipe the acid contaminated on sensitive parts such as compound eyes, joints and limbs, and then clean off the acid outside the armor, then you can return to the battlefield.
Those Corn Ants that wanted to pursue them even though they were injured in the acid were restrained and killed by other nearby Divine Envoy King warriors.
There are also a large number of God's King warriors on the second line who keep throwing sand here with their mandibles and forelimbs, setting off waves of dust haze and sand mist, covering and absorbing a large amount of acid, greatly reducing the power of the acid attack of the parasitic corn ants.
In disgrace, the parasitic corn ants were the first to retreat from the formations of the God's Envoy Kings. Later, those parasitic ants that were still fighting against the black fire ants, leaf-cutter ants and other military formations were also attacked by the nearby coalition of civilized ant tribes, and had to Back away.
At this time, the second wave of parasitic ants has also come through the pontoon. They are more numerous and block the escape route of the parasitic corn ants. They either use the parasitic corn ants as pedals to trample under their feet, or coerce them to attack again. Continue to attack the defense line.
This wave of parasitic ants includes parasitic burrowing ants, several species of parasitic forest ants, and other parasitic ant families that have been seen before, and even some parasitic black fire ants that have appeared for the first time and have good combat effectiveness. They were obviously infected not long ago. The original warrior of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom.
The field artillery of the God's Envoy Army was finally in place at this time, and began firing at close range. The dense artillery shells covered the pontoon area, splashing dense water, as if this small area was experiencing dense raindrops.
The third wave of parasitic ants that were passing through the pontoon was trapped on the fragmented pontoon, making it difficult to pass smoothly for a while.
The second wave of parasitic ants rushed through the muddy beachhead and the solid defense line of the civilized ant coalition without backup, but could not make a breakthrough.
At this time, there was another large group of parasitic ants. Taking advantage of the fierce battle on the other side of the bridge and attracting a large number of artillery from the Angel King's legion, they ran to the reef ferry with a large amount of building materials to build a simple bridge.
A large number of parasitic beasts originally waiting in the rear also came to the north of the ferry and gathered outside the supposed artillery range. Apparently they planned to take the opportunity to rush to the south bank - this was the main direction of the parasitic army's attack this time.
After Zhu Jue received the information in the joint conference room, he was very interested. The opponent's commander's arrangement this time was very planned. With a proper arrangement between the feint attack and the main attack, it seemed that there was a high possibility of success.
But Zhu Jue is already a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has not left such obvious flaws for the parasitic creatures. Although a large number of artillery pieces have been deployed to block the pontoon bridge, there are still many artillery pieces left in the fortress group.
Following the order, these artillery pieces, which were unable to support the pontoon battlefield due to reef obstruction or insufficient range, began to unleash their power. Although the firepower was not as intensive as yesterday, it also killed and injured a large number of parasitic ants rushing to repair the bridge.
The six peanut cannons had stopped shelling the pontoon bridge and were cooling down and resting. At this moment, the prepared giant cannons were manipulated by the artillerymen through a system composed of pulleys, ropes and levers, turning the muzzles and aiming at the reef area.
Six peanut-sized iron bullets were fired one after another, and three of them hit the dense group of parasite beasts. In an instant, a whirlwind of flesh and blood blew up, killing and injuring more than 20 parasite beasts. Three passages of flesh and blood were left in the herd.
A parasitic snail with a huge volute, the size of a field snail, was completely shattered by a huge bomb. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and thousands of parasitic hyphae fell all over the ground like rain. Most of the fragile parasites The hyphae died before they even hit the ground.
This scene greatly surprised the parasitic brain. They did not expect that there was an artillery with such a far range, which was much more exaggerated than the range of the largest ballista in their memory. The distance that was originally thought to be safe seemed to be dangerous, so the large group of parasite beasts retreated dejectedly to the north for a distance, and many of the parasitic brains hidden in the back also quietly changed their positions...
The battle continued until dusk. The parasitic army fought very tenaciously today. The pontoon bridge was intermittently open, but parasitic ants continued to cross the pontoon bridge and join the fight. One-fifth of the parasitic ants fell into the water and died before they could cross the bridge.
A simple bridge on the reef was once erected, but only a few parasitic beasts and parasitic ants rushed over and were defeated by another force on the south bank that was well prepared. Later, the bridge was burned down by the giant dragonfly troops bombing at low altitudes.
The battle ended at dusk, when the parasitic army reluctantly abandoned a large number of corpses and even abandoned many troops who could not retreat, ending today's bloody battle!
