Chapter 78: Naval Battle (1)
The last thing you want to see happens.
The protagonist only feels that the god of crossing has been joking with himself, and the worst outcome that is expected every time always seems to happen, maybe the smooth sailing time traveler is not what the god of crossing wants to see, after all, even variety shows have to create slots, not to mention a big time travel drama.
Now, it's the protagonist's turn to lose the walnut ship fleet, which is facing bad luck.
The air force of the parasitic beast is flying in from the south, and judging by the dense flapping of wings, there are quite a few of them, at least in the double digits.
Today, although the fog is so thick that the protagonist can barely see the specific situation of the enemies he is killing, according to the previous rules, the enemies fly from the hinterland of the swamp to the south, converge from different directions to the south of [swamp city], and then swarm to kill this side.
The protagonist still can't figure out how these creatures parasitic with parasites can coordinate and attack the same goal, even though they are all different species, although there are also inconsistencies, such as large parasitic war beasts that will carelessly trample on and injure small companions.
But just this cross-species communication and coordination ability has already made the protagonist very envious. At least for now, the mounts between the flying knights of the Divine Envoy King's legion and the flies and bees can't do this tacit understanding. It seems that the parasite hides a lot more secrets than the protagonist has already discovered.
The parasitic beast in the air soon arrives above [Swamp City], and the protagonist can see it clearly this time at close range, and the enemies in the air are nine parasitic dragonflies and three parasitic Ji wasps.
The three parasitic wasps are so small that they can get in from the holes in the air defense net, and the size of these holes is reserved for the shape of the ants, and the hunting sickle ants and big-headed ants can drill in and out freely, but the larger insects cannot.
It's just that these parasitic bees that got in were weak, and they were only threatened by launching a desperate raid in a chaotic battle, and they launched a frontal attack directly against the defenders, and the end result was that they were killed by a wave of stone throws, and failed to bring any damage to the defenders.
The parasitic dragonflies lay on the air defense net, threatening the Divine Envoy King warriors who were protected by the air defense net, but it was useless, just as the slings fired by the Divine Envoy King warriors were not lethal when they smashed far away on the dragonflies.
Some parasitic dragonflies try to bite the air defense net, and the insects infected by the parasitic bacteria often have a certain level of strength and intelligence, and ordinary dragonflies may not think of destroying the air defense net.
However, the air defense net is made of ropes that are the thickness of an ant's waist, and the material is a mixture of tough plant fibers and flexible ant silk, which has high strength and resistance to pulling, and according to past experience, it is difficult for parasitic dragonflies to bite even a rope throughout the day.
At night, the ants mend and replace broken ropes, and the parasitic dragonflies never succeed in breaking a large hole enough to burrow, and the pair of large wings that give them superb flight ability is the biggest obstacle for the dragonflies to burrow.
Even if you destroy a hole, what's the use of being able to get in?
The air defense net covered [Swamp City] in all directions, and the parasitic dragonflies that burrowed in did not have enough space to fly freely, but were trapped step by step, and could easily become prey.
A few days ago, the protagonist would let the Divine Envoy King warriors hide in the ant mound with peace of mind, and let these parasitic dragonflies destroy the air defense network in vain. Many parasitic dragonflies don't even wait for the sun to set before they give up and fly away.
But today, in order to cover the fleet of walnut ships not far away, to prevent them from being detected prematurely by parasitic dragonflies and being attacked. The protagonist has to assemble his troops outdoors, constantly making various noises that drown out the sound of the fleet's moving water, and also attract the attention of the parasitic dragonflies so that they don't notice the fleet not far away.
Previously, when sending the Bee Flying Knights to contact the Walnut Ship fleet, the protagonist forgot to inform them not to dock first to avoid being attacked.
Now, no matter how slow the walnut fleet advances, sooner or later it will dock, and sooner or later it will be discovered by the enemy. All the protagonist can do is to delay as much time as possible, so that the time for the Walnut Ship fleet to be attacked will be shorter in the near future, and as long as he holds on until the sun goes down, the enemy will naturally retreat.
Anyway, as long as the warriors of the god envoy king on the walnut ship fleet hide in the strong walnuts, they are also very safe, and the parasitic dragonflies in the air are also helpless.
Braving a handful of parasitic dragon lice-infested water cannons, the Divine Angel King warriors insisted on attracting the attention of their enemies in the great outdoors. Fortunately, only two parasitic dragon lice arrived today, and there were dead spots between the angles of their spray water cannons, and they would also be blocked by the air defense net, which greatly reduced their power, and there was no situation where the ant warriors were stunned.
Eventually, the morning fog slowly and helplessly dissipated, and the tall masts and huge sails of the walnut fleet were already so conspicuous that they could no longer be camouflaged.
But it wasn't the parasitic dragonflies who first discovered the walnut fleet, and I don't know if the parasitic dragonflies' attention was completely attracted by the provocative Divine Angel King warriors on the ground, or if they treated the walnut fleet as an ordinary floating object, and they didn't react at first.
However, there are a few parasitic water spiders that have been swimming outside, and their race is naturally sensitive to the ripples of water, relying on the sensory organs on their feet to sense the movement of their prey on the water to feed.
They were the first to detect the ripples of water emitted by the voyage of the walnut fleet, just as the radar had detected the enemy.
Anyway, these water spiders couldn't attack [Swamp City], and several parasitic water spiders immediately swam curiously towards the walnut ship fleet, their speed on the water was extremely agile, and their four long limbs swung in a row, and they had already crossed several meters in an instant.
The parasitic water spiders soon approach the walnut fleet, and the protagonist hopes that the warriors on board will hide, and it is better to wait for the ships to dock and stay away, so that the enemy will soon lose interest in this "dead thing".
However, the fighters on the ship clearly do not have such a crooked mind as the protagonist.
The straight ant warrior, as soon as the parasitic water spider approached, launched a long-range counterattack with a stone. And because of the tailwind, the bees that did not go out, and the bees resting on the fleet were also pulled up and ready to fight under the control of the flying knights.
This time, as if stabbing a hornet's nest, the parasitic dragonflies and parasitic dragon lice that originally surrounded [Swamp City] suddenly realized that this huge "floating object" was also a living thing, and quickly gave up their original goal and rushed over.
The protagonist anxiously watches the enemy kill the walnut fleet just a few meters away, he can't do anything, he can only hope that the fleet can withstand the blow and not suffer too much loss.
