Dozens of mung bean cannons fired continuously at the field artillery position of the Ant Alliance National Divine Envoy King Corps, which belonged to the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Gunpowder smoke filled the air and the sound of cannons rumbled.
Sparks quickly ignited on the southern hillock that became the target.
The incendiary bombs used by the artillery are newly manufactured and use metal shells. After they fall to the ground and rupture, the fluorescent bacteria extract and grease mixture inside will spontaneously ignite when exposed to air. They can continue to burn for half a minute and are difficult to remove if they stick to the surface of the attached object.
Due to the recent autumn rains, the moisture content of the green plants is not low. The incendiary bombs cannot burn out a sea of fire, but mostly cause small strands of flames, which slowly extinguish.
But even so, the parasites in the fortress were frightened. Their instinctive fear of fire made it impossible for them to remain calm against the continuous shooting of incendiary bombs.
Especially as some of the shrubs and leaves on top of the parasitic fortress were burned and the barrier effect was lost. When a small number of incendiary bombs began to fall around and even inside the parasitic fortress, the parasitic creatures stationed could no longer sit still and began to dispatch troops to fight back.
Dozens of parasitic beasts led thousands of parasitic ants through the grassy hillsides and attacked the artillery positions of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
The flying knights had early warning, and the commando team that was already preparing to set off changed the battle goal and first eliminated this parasitic army in a roundabout way.
Soon, the parasitic army and the Eastern Expeditionary Army commando team that had emerged from the hill vegetation were fighting together. The terrain was rugged and complex. The two sides fought fiercely on the ground, on the grass blades, and under the shade of the leaves. The battle lines were intertwined.
The number of the parasitic army was not very large. At the beginning, they took the initiative by taking the initiative to attack. However, as the Eastern Expeditionary Army commandos detoured and completely surrounded the parasitic army, the situation became clear.
The big-headed ant angel king warriors in the commando team threw fire bomb slings and ordinary slings from a distance, constantly weakening the surrounded parasites. After that, the commando team, mainly composed of Scythe-hunting ant warriors and Thin-footed ant warriors, launched a general attack.
The parasites resist very tenaciously, especially some parasitic ants. They actually know how to use the razor tactics of the Divine Envoy King's Legion. They line up in two tight formations and frequently attack from above the line. The parasitic ants in the back row step on the parasitic ants in the front row. Condescendingly trying to attack the commando soldier's neck with his jaws.
An interesting scene appeared on the battlefield. The commando team was mainly composed of tall ant warriors. Most of the parasitic ants, even if two were stacked on top of each other, could only stare at the ant's compound eyes and could not reach its neck. Unless the two parasitic ants are both giant Japanese ants.
The ant-hunting warriors of the Eastern Expeditionary Army were very brave. Wearing armor, they were like indestructible little tanks. They quickly disrupted the formation of parasitic ants who used half-baked razor tactics. The parasitic army was unable to save the day. Annihilated.
Immediately, the commando team took a short rest and devoted themselves to the attack on the parasitic fortress on the southern hill.
The artillery units shifted their firepower and began to bombard the parasitic fortress on the hill on the north side with all their strength.
The commandos climbed all the way up, raising sand and dust along the way to extinguish the unextinguished flames along the attack route.
This time, the parasitic fortress did not continue to throw those parasitic fleas and springtails. Their trebuchet seemed to be damaged, and it no longer functioned until the fall of the parasitic fortress. It is not known whether it was burned by incendiary bombs or whether the parasitic organisms were hiding. He gave up on his own initiative when he went underground.
The commando team was very fast. When they attacked the outer wall of the parasitic fortress, most of the parasites who had been hiding in the fortress woke up and swarmed out. They climbed up the city wall and tried to rely on this short earth wall. defense.
Fierce battles broke out up and down the city wall. In the commando team, a small number of big-headed ant warriors continued to throw long-range weapons at the back, leaving the main role to the sickle-hunting ferocious ant warriors and the thin-footed ant warriors. These agile big men crossed the low wall in a few steps and launched a frontal assault.
Parasitic beasts and parasitic ants continued to pour out reinforcements. Both sides fought hand-to-hand on the city wall. They used jaws, stinging needles, and the most primitive weapons on both sides to engage in the most brutal fighting. Corpses fell from the city wall like raindrops, and soon they were on the wall. Mountains of corpses were piled up on both sides, level with the top of the wall. Soldiers from both sides could climb up the city wall along the mountains of corpses.
The parasitic fortress defenders, who had just lost a lot of their strength in the counterattack, were quickly depleted on the city wall. They only resisted for a while and were forced to retreat.
When the parasitic beasts and parasitic ants retreated into the fortress, large groups of fleas and springtails hiding in the parasitic fortress began to pour out from various entrances and exits, like a black stream flowing upstream, rolling towards the commandos of the Eastern Expedition.
The commando team had been on guard against these little bugs for a long time. Upon seeing this, they immediately went on the defensive. They cooperated with each other, biting and stepping on them, while dealing with springtails and guarding against parasitic hyphae.
Although these parasitic fleas and springtails number in the thousands, they are far less of a threat than before. When it was thrown by a trebuchet, it formed a wide coverage area in the air, and the flexible movement of the small bugs after landing allowed dozens of parasitic fleas and springtails to threaten the Eastern Expeditionary Army in a large defensive area. Now that they are attacking from the front, the area they can threaten has become smaller.
The ants and the slender-footed ants are both agile ant warriors. Those parasitic springtails are often bitten one by one before they have even landed in the air, and their small bodies are quickly crushed in their strong jaws. Crushed into pieces, the parasitic hyphae had no time to be pulled out of the host's body, and were crushed into pulp together.
A few fish that slipped through the net were also eliminated by the commandos in the rear row. The parasitic springtails that did not form a mess posed little threat to the well-formed commandos.
They managed to withstand the ground attack of the parasitic fleas without any risk, and the defenders of the parasitic fortress also took the opportunity to slip away. However, they seemed to have no trump cards. As the commandos took control of the outside of the fortress, there were only a few narrow entry and exit passages where the defenders were still resisting.
The commando team's Scythe Hunters and Thin-footed Ant warriors were too big to easily fit into the narrow fortress passages, so the attack was suspended until reinforcements arrived.
These reinforcements are the big-headed ant infantry of the Angel King's legion and the soldiers of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom.
They did not attack immediately. Under Zhu Jue's instruction, the Divine Envoy King's army threw dozens of igniting fire bombs and slings into the entrance and exit.
Small orange sparks bounced in the downward sloping passage and quickly disappeared under the influence of gravity. There were waves of panicked ground vibrations in the fortress!
At this time, the Eastern Expedition Army launched a general attack on the fortress. Thousands of soldiers of all ethnic groups quickly went deep underground. Soon after, this parasitic fortress was captured!
