As more and more Destroyers land on the pontoon from the other side of the river, and then follow the footsteps of the vanguard deep into the interior, this narrow passage has become overcrowded and full of ant heads. Many Destroyers can only step on it. Move on the companion, or be stepped on the bottom, making it difficult to move.
The crossbow firepower of the parasitic army is still doing its best to block the road and continue to cause damage. Under the dual pressure of self-trampling and enemy firepower, the Destroyers could only expand their marching width. The army extended from the flat ant track to the rugged terrain on both sides, covering trees, grass, swamp edges, and rock crevices everywhere. There is a figure of the Destroyer exploring the path.
The parasitic brain did not ignore these enemy defenses. It had already deployed blocking troops in the wilderness. From the sturdy parasitic mantises and scorpions to the lurking ground spiders and centipedes, there were all kinds of troops. Just because of the terrain, it could only Set up defenses in a skirmish line.
The nearly endless Destroyers quickly discovered many paths leading to the Anthill Castle. Countless Destroyers came fiercely, using their arthropods to trample and tear apart with their jaws, destroying the vegetation in the way and moving away the obstructions. Obstacles forcibly opened up the rugged path into a main road for marching. The blocking parasite beasts kept trying to block the road, but they had to retreat under pressure.
The parasitic termites that were deployed in the front also fought fiercely for a long time. In the end, they were defeated and repelled by the main force of the Destroyers. They paid the price of more than half of the casualties, and the rest tried to retreat to the castle.
In front of the castle, there are hundreds of pit traps arranged by parasitic ant lions, surrounding the ant mound in a ring. After being parasitized, the ant lions will no longer develop but remain in a larval state and can survive for many years. Therefore, the parasitic army can accumulate a large number of ant lions for the defense of key areas.
"Parasite Wisdom II" is very good at setting up ant lion defense lines. His host body is a tribe of red fire ants. At that time, ant lion traps were set up outside the main nest, which once caused a lot of trouble to the Angel King's army that was attacking the city. The density of antlion traps back then was nothing like it is today. "Parasite Wisdom II" was affected and attached great importance to the centralized use of ant lions. The ant lion defense line of this castle was personally laid out by him before taking over from "Parasite Roll"!
When the uninformed Destroyers were chasing the rear guard of parasitic termites, they fell into the trap one by one. The inner wall of the trap with rolling gravel was difficult to climb, and the parasitic ant lions at the bottom of the trap would seize the opportunity to kill the Destroyers who fell into the trap. Drag underground and kill. Even if the Destroyer's individual combat power is strong, it cannot be used due to the geographical disadvantage of the Ant Lion Trap.
The parasitic termites dexterously evacuated through the passages between the traps, and some destroyers followed. However, there were also traps for parasitic ground spiders between the ant lion traps. Once the highly concealed lid was opened, a destroyer would be trapped. Drag into the hole and kill!
However, although parasitic ant lions and ground spiders can kill Destroyers, the number of Destroyers soon far exceeds the killing limit of the trap group. From the outside in, countless Destroyers filled up the ant lion traps and ground spider caves with their bodies. The traps and caves soon became overcrowded, and the ant lions and ground spiders were pressed to the point where they could not move. The defense line was little by little. is malfunctioning.
Some Great Destroyers and Giant Destroyers will also actively attack Ant Lions and Ground Spiders under the micro-control of Radar Destroyers. Ant Lions and Ground Spiders have nothing to do with such huge Destroyer individuals. Once caught, they can only be dragged. Come out and kill! Instead, the antlions in the crowded traps escaped with their lives.
A large number of parasitic hyphae lurking under the shallow soil of the trap defense line also took the opportunity to emerge after the Destroyer approached, crawling up the body of the nearest Destroyer like a spiritual snake, getting into the gaps in its carapace, trying to infect the Destroyer. The Destroyers were very afraid of these hyphae and stopped to clean them up, but many Destroyers were still hit.
Most of the Destroyers died quickly or even self-destructed after being infected. There were also a few fusions that were successfully fused by the parasitic bacteria. They immediately killed other Destroyers around them crazily, and then died under the siege of the Destroyers. One of the giant destroyers was successfully parasitized and even killed hundreds of destroyers before being killed.
The defense line of traps and the blocking of parasitic mycelium successfully protected the remaining main force of parasitic termites from retreating into the castle. By the time the Destroyers cleared the outer perimeter of the castle, they had lost the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to attack the castle, and had to continue to attack the rugged and tall Anthill Castle, braving the blows of the nearby ballistae.
The Destroyers did not conduct any tests and directly sent tens of thousands of Destroyers to launch a general attack. Some troops attacked the entrances and exits close to the ground, while others climbed up to seize the ballista positions and attack the entrances and exits at high altitudes.
And the parasitic brains did not sit still and wait for death. The parasitic brains guarding the war zone immediately dispatched the main reserve team composed of parasitic ants and insect beasts to launch a counterattack from both wings against the Destroyer army that fortified the city to reduce the pressure on the castle defense. .
Under the fierce attack of thousands of parasitic beetles, katydids, locusts, mantises, scorpions, centipedes, etc., the destroyers in front of them were repelled for a time, followed by tens of thousands of parasitic ant warriors equipped with jaw knives and leather armor. Follow up to expand the results and get into trouble with the stubborn Destroyer.
The Destroyer also relies on the Giant Destroyer and the Great Destroyer as the core to fight against those giant insects, while the ordinary Destroyer blocks the parasitic ants, mixed with the sound and light of explosions from time to time.
In the end, the Destroyer's thick formation gradually buffered the kinetic energy of the parasitic army's counterattack, and the compound eyes of some parasitic beasts rushing forward could clearly reflect the details of the soil on the anthill castle. But they were either killed or repulsed, unable to set foot in the castle, let alone defeat the Destroyer.
When the counterattack reserve team was forced to retreat, the loss of the parasite beasts had reached as high as 60 to 70%, and nearly half of the parasitic ants were also lost in the battle. Although the Destroyer postponed the siege due to pressure, they held on until the end. After repelling the parasitic army reserves and defeating the internal and external breakout of the parasitic termites in the city, they once again completed the siege of the castle.
It was already late at night, and the parasitic army showed no signs of retreating. They attacked the city frantically throughout the night, completely occupying the surface of the castle that night and destroying all the ballista platforms.
Fierce fighting broke out at almost every entrance and exit of the castle. The destroyers entered the castle from every opening, and the parasitic termite defenders relied on complex passages to resist. Inside the castle, the fragile abdomens of the defenders were well protected, and their combat effectiveness was stronger than in the field.
The most powerful big men among the Destroyers cannot get through the narrow entrances and exits, and the offensive progress of ordinary Destroyers is much slower. So, the impatient Radar Destroyer used his trump card - the only remaining White Belly Destroyer!
