Chapter 97: Breadtown (2)

At first, it was just a surging tide of parasitic corn hairy ants trying to flood [Breadtown] alone, but in the afternoon, parasitic war beasts and parasitic ants from other places got the news from somewhere and rushed to reinforcements.

Large swarms of parasitic ants crowd the narrow land bridge, and whether it is land, water or air, there are all kinds of parasitic war beasts. It's a scene that even the big screen in Hollywood can't describe how spectacular and intense it is.

[Bread City] is surrounded by ten layers of inner and outer ten layers, like a reef in a stormy sea, and like a flat boat in a storm, it looks extremely dangerous, but it is always immovable and never sinks.

In the beginning, the Bee Flying Knights of the Legion of the Divine Angel were still flying outside, occasionally throwing some slings at the ground enemies to disturb them. They can also deal with a small number of enemy flying beasts.

But as the enemy's flying beasts gathered more and more, it seemed that the parasitic forces had thrown all the family resources in the swamp into this battlefield. In addition, some war beasts such as parasitic mantises, parasitic locusts, and parasitic centipedes also have the ability to threaten low-flying flying knights. After losing a few Flying Knights, the Bee Flying Knights began to retreat, safely entering the fortress of [Breaded City] through a "gate" reserved at the top of the protective net.

In this way, the air supremacy, which is not easy to grasp, is surrendered again, and the only thing the ants can rely on is the fortress.

Fortunately, the terrain of [Bread] is quite good, half of it is adjacent to water, and it is half a meter high from the water surface, and the water cannon of parasitic dragon lice is also greatly reduced.

The other half is against land, but the building is built on the fallen carbonized dead wood, and the passage from the dead wood to the outside world is also blocked by ant concrete.

Parasitic ants and war beasts must climb the sleek, moss-covered trunks of rotten trees half a meter high and then burrow through sturdy protective nets with small holes before they can attack the walls and defenders.

Previously, those who were injured, had poor climbing ability, and were too large to climb over or get through the obstacles.

The Legion of the Divine Envoy only needs to concentrate on dealing with enemies who attack the walls directly or attempt to breach the protective nets.

I saw that on the city wall, the warriors of the king of the gods took turns poking their heads out, condescendingly biting off the heads of parasitic ants that had finally climbed up, or directly pushing them down.

At the heights, the protagonist directs two ballistas to fire rapidly, sometimes ten stone bullets are fired in pieces, instantly plowing a bloody clearing in the dense array of enemies; Sometimes, a single large stone projectile hits a huge parasitic war beast, knocking its body into a huge flesh-and-blood bullet hole; From time to time, a huge arrow of intricate workmanship is fired, accurately hitting the parasitic war beasts that pose the most threat to the protective net.

Because there are too many enemies, too dense and crowded, those parasitic ants and parasitic war beasts who die from trampling and crowding and suffocation are not even less than those who die in battle.

The time of the battle is always so long and short, waiting for the sun to set in the west, and when it is ready to set, the parasitic ants have already left tens of thousands of corpses, piled up a thick layer under the rotten wood, and little by little they are washed back and forth by the tide of the swamp.

Even if there are many parasitic dragon lice and parasitic water spiders in the water, there are also large groups of shrimp and crabs rushing to feast on these corpses that have fallen into the water, and even the silk thread parasites that are still alive are caught and eaten by them - these shrimp and crabs seem to be completely unafraid of parasitic bacteria.

Finally, as it was getting late, the parasitic army began to retreat, and the flying knights of the King's legion took the opportunity to take off again and watch the enemy retreat.

Afterwards, the warriors of the Divine Envoy King began to go out of the city, throwing the corpses of the plague into the water to feed the shrimp and crabs.

Today's battle ended, and although it looked dangerous because of the sheer number of enemies, [Breadtown] was not in much danger, and it was not even as dangerous as the battle when the Divine King's legion was forced to retreat from the [bridgehead] for the first time.

After a battle, the parasitic army left behind about 10,000 corpses of parasitic ant warriors and hundreds of corpses of parasitic war beasts, but the loss of the Divine Envoy King's army itself was slight, less than three digits.

But in the face of such a result, the protagonist has a bit of a headache, judging from the number of enemies dispatched today, even if the Divine Envoy King Legion destroys so many enemies every day, it will take ten days and half a month to kill the enemy.

After all, even if it is more than 100,000 mealworms, it takes a lot of time to line up for the Divine Envoy King warriors to slaughter.

The protagonist doesn't plan to spend ten days and a half months here, although this roundbread hill is weird, but the protagonist is not here to solve the mystery, as long as the parasitic ants are killed, the protagonist doesn't even plan to control this barren swamp for a long time, and he doesn't care about his own business if he has any weirdness.

Judging from the aerial reconnaissance at night, this swamp has been set foot and controlled by less than one-tenth of the Divine King's army, and the protagonist feels that he must go a little deeper before the weather is cold and he withdraws.

- I'm the dividing line -

At night, the moon is bright, and the night fog that has plagued the swamp for many years has faded a lot, at least not enough to stop the moonlight from illuminating this gloomy world.

The moon was reflected on the water of the swamp, and the silver light was reflected on the fine waves.

In the distance, there is the courtship cry of crickets, gnats and other insects, and the swamp at night is as vibrant as it is during the day.

The roundbread hills are also "alive" here, with a large swarm of ants moving on the top of the hill, not parasitic corn ants, but warriors of the Divine King.

Due to the terrain restrictions during the day, and the priority of ensuring the safety of [Bread City], the Divine Legion of the King could not kill and injure a large number of enemies. Then take advantage of the night when the enemies are all retreating into their lairs before making a move.

The Divine Legion had already put this tactic to good use, whether it was in [Bridgehead] or [Stump City], and after each battle, the Flying Knights would track the retreating enemies, find their lair, and then provide guidance to the warriors of the night raid.

This time, the nest on the hill of Roundbread is too large for a sneak attack to be effective, but the Divine Envoy King's legion has had a successful tactic a long time ago - smoke attack.

Guided by the packets of previous successful battles, a group of Divine Messenger King warriors skillfully collected knotted grass, opened the partitions between them, connected them to each other, and smeared ant glue on the joints.

Another group excavated a combustion chamber not far from the entrance and exit of the enemy nest, and a group of Divine Envoy King warriors were responsible for collecting fuel such as hay and suitable smoke.

The god envoy king warrior who excavated the combustion chamber quickly reported that after digging down for half a meter, he encountered a "rock" and could not dig anymore.

The protagonist is too lazy to go into the dirty and muddy underground that has just been excavated, and forgets about it after the excavated ants report that there is enough space in the combustion chamber to dig deeper.
