The dutiful workers try to maintain order and keep the ants as calm as possible because of a sudden and unknown attack.

At the same time, their ranks were still changing formations, and only after changing into a horizontal formation could they form the widest assault surface when they launched a charge, posing the greatest threat to the defenders.

There were too few pottery bombs in the first wave, so the parasitic ants barely managed to hold on to the group.

But soon, the second wave, the third wave, countless pottery bombs rained down. Divided into two squads of squads, they poured long-range fire on the enemy at six-second intervals.

In addition, Rambori and Rambose, who were in charge of the command, constantly adjusted the direction of the team's fire according to the observed landing point, and the hit rate of the pottery bullet became higher and higher.

For parasitic ants, the time for which they can only be beaten without knowing where the attack came from is short and long.

A large number of pottery bullets fall from the sky all the time, and the unfortunate parasitic ants will be killed and injured by the pottery bullets that directly hit the body, and the most fortunate ones will also be smashed and crippled.

It was a tragic day for the originally lethal silk thread parasites on the backs of the parasitic ants, with pottery bombs everywhere in the air and countless fragments of pottery bombs flying everywhere.

For parasitic ants with hard carapaces, these fragments are not harmful except for the pain of hitting the body, as long as they do not hit the compound eyes and antennae.

Silk thread parasites, on the other hand, are soft hyphae that stand tall on the back of the parasitic ant, and can easily be cut in two by sharp shards that have been scratched. Even if he was lucky enough not to be cut, he was seriously injured and unable to struggle.

Wave after wave of earthenball rain poured out violently on the parasitic ant army, and the enemy army, which had always been known for discipline and fanaticism, could no longer adjust their formation in an orderly manner.

As more and more ants are killed or wounded, even the large worker ants are unable to effectively command a squad on the verge of collapse.

The silk parasites felt threatened, and they desperately secreted a large amount of hormones, stimulating the parasitic ants under them to charge as soon as possible and not be beaten on the spot. And the parasitic ants also secrete a lot of adrenaline due to the crisis.

Under the joint stimulation of the two hormones, this parasitic ant army rushed forward without waiting for the formation to be converted.

This time, even the big workers stopped stopping the movement of the army, and they with higher IQs felt a great threat - if they didn't attack again, they wouldn't have to attack again.

The physiological habits of the ants give them a strong belligerence, as well as a high morale and organization, which makes them not easy to collapse even in extremely disadvantaged situations. Even if they collapsed, they chose to charge blindly forward rather than flee backwards.

At least human armies, especially pre-modern armies, are not up to this level.

Under normal circumstances, the average army in the era of cold weapons will basically collapse before the casualty rate exceeds 10%, and once it exceeds 30%, it will completely lose its organization. Of course, this ratio also includes logistics troops, and the loss rate of front-line combat units will be slightly greater than this figure.

The ants basically do not need logistics troops to fight, and all the troops are front-line troops, and they can ensure that they do not starve for days by having a full meal before departure. Even if the war is prolonged, the ants can take turns to go out to forage for food, and there is basically no logistical burden.

The gaze returned to the attacking parasitic ants.

With their sense of smell and blurred vision, these parasitic ants know that their enemies are right ahead. They ran as hard as they could, leaving where they had started.

Lady Luck seemed to favor them at this time, and as they left the starting position, no more pottery bullets fell on their heads.

What they don't know is that the ants, who have only been trained for a short time, have been trained to throw at a distance of two decimeters.

This distance is set by the protagonist based on the distance of the enemy starting position provided by the defenders of the fortress, as well as the strength of the ants.

When the parasitic ants left their starting position, the distance between them and the fortress quickly decreased.

Although the ants can reduce their force to shorten the throw distance, they can continue to attack the enemy in the charging route.

However, the hurried slingers did not receive this kind of training, especially the two kings in charge of the command, Ramberi and Rambose, who could only adjust the direction of the troops' fire, and did not know how to accurately control the distance of their subordinates' projections, especially when the enemy was still moving rapidly and constantly shortening the distance.

So, after six rounds of pottery bombardment, the parasitic ants left behind more than thirty corpses and fifty or sixty wounded soldiers, and the large army still launched a charge unscathed.

These parasitic ant warriors, following the same route as their predecessors for many days, quickly crawled through the clearing outside the trench and plunged headlong into the trench.

The bottom of the trench was filled with the excrement of the defenders of the fortress, which had a strong smell of "Dongyang Castle" ants. The reason why these droppings are piled up is also a tactic of the defenders of the fortress.

Sure enough, after smelling the strong smell of the enemy, the parasitic ants became even more frenzied, and they began to climb the slope of the earth that sloped into a forty-five degree slope, and killed the army of the Divine Envoy King, who was already waiting at the top of the embankment.

However, the silk parasites did not cooperate as closely as the parasitic ants in the past.

Due to the presence of a large number of strong potential hosts in the vicinity, these silk parasites with simple neural structures immediately detached from the body of the original host under the control of instinct.

Countless silk parasites meander, crawl, and roll like snakes in the trenches. They are unable to find their target host, and are surrounded by piles of ant droppings that smell temptingly but meaninglessly to them.

Most of the silk parasites were depleted of their vitality in the meaningless swimming at the bottom of the trench, and by the time they tried to return to their original host, there was no suitable host at the bottom of the trench except for a few dead and wounded who had fallen in the heat of battle.

Some lucky silk thread parasites have penetrated into the bodies of dead and injured parasitic ants, and due to fierce competition, many ants have even penetrated more than a dozen silk thread parasites.

Dead ants become nutrients for silk parasites, allowing them to recover and reproduce, but too many silk parasites compete with each other and only make most of them malnourished.

The excessive number of silk thread parasites that live on the injured person will drain the dying host in a short period of time.

However, these silk thread parasites are destined to not live long. When the army of parasitic ants is wiped out, the army of the Divine Envoy King, who cleans the battlefield, will burn them all along with the corpses of the parasitic ants.

But compared to most of the other companions who failed to find the original host and waited silently for death, these silk parasites were lucky, at least for a short longer time.
