Chapter 156: Fortress Battle (2)

I saw that after the parasitic ants ran to the trench under the fortress, they did not climb the stump in a hurry like the previous enemy.

The parasitic ant commanders noticed the corpses of the silk parasites everywhere, and the parasites on their bodies scurrying around the trenches after they broke away.

The protagonist sees a large light gold worker ant hiding in the enemy army, and quickly gives instructions to the parasitic ants next to him. Subsequently, in a wave-like way of propagation, all parasitic ants were soon ordered by the Supreme Commander of the Legion.

Therefore, the parasitic ants who had already reached the bottom of the fortress were not in a hurry to attack the legion of the Divine Envoy King on the heights. Instead, they began digging trenches to clean up ant droppings that had attracted the silkworm parasites and exuded the strong scent of the new host.

There is not much ant droppings at the bottom of the trench, and once the ant droppings are removed, the silk thread parasites will not leave the original host's body so early, and may not begin to detach until near the city walls. In this case, the Divine Envoy King's legion guarding the fortress will once again face the threat of silk parasites, and the geographical advantage of the fortress will be greatly weakened.

The protagonist doesn't know why the enemy's commander is so smart, and immediately sees the reason why the Divine Angel King's legion is so arranged, and takes extremely targeted measures.

However, the Divine Envoy King's legion could not just watch the enemy's movements and remain indifferent, so the protagonist immediately descended back to the fortress and summoned the heralds.

As a result, the defenders of the fortress on the city walls began to throw pottery bombs at the parasitic ants who were cleaning up the trenches.

The protagonist once again takes to the skies to observe the results.

The pottery bombs thrown from a high place and the fragments of the pottery bombs bursting out are still good for the silk thread parasites. But the pottery bomb itself is almost powerless against the parasitic ants.

This is because the clay bullet thrown with a slingling needs to be accelerated by a circular motion, and after many rounds of acceleration, its power is much greater than that of a direct projectile, which can cause a certain amount of damage to the enemy.

The power of a projectile thrown from a high altitude depends on its mass and the height at which it was thrown, both of which are very low.

A pottery bomb is about the same size as the head of a soldier ant, weighing a few tenths of a gram, and even encountering wind interference when it is thrown out because it is too light. The height of the stump is only half a meter. According to the calculation of the mechanical equation, the power generated by the pottery bullet thrown from the height of the stump is only to make the parasitic ants that are smashed slightly painful, and it is impossible to break the defense at all.

After discovering that this attack could not cause damage, the parasitic ants, under the leadership of the commander, simply stopped dodging, let the pottery bombs smash on their bodies and surroundings, and calmly continued to clean up.

Seeing this, the protagonist can only ask the Divine Envoy King's army to stop attacking, so as not to waste the precious pottery bullet inventory.

The parasitic ants quickly cleaned the bottom of the trench, and the silk thread parasite lingered at the bottom of the trench hesitating, the residual smell of the new host gradually dissipating, leaving them hesitant whether to return to their original host or continue to search for a possible new host.

But the parasitic ants have already begun to take the next step.

I saw that with the order of the seven pale gold workers, all the parasitic ant warriors began to put the silk thread parasite bacteria that were still alive around them into their jaws and began to climb the vertical stumps.

Seeing these enemies climbing with silk thread parasites, the protagonist guesses that they are going to send these annoying parasites to the city walls. After all, the ability of silk thread parasites alone cannot climb steep tree stumps.

The first parasitic ants climb very fast, and before the protagonist can think of how to cope with the new changes, they have already climbed the city wall.

In order to increase the efficiency of killing, the warriors of the Divine King's legion left most of the enemy's space on the city walls.

This way, when the enemy climbs the wall, there is enough room for the soldiers in the queen's row to condescendingly attack the enemy's fragile neck. The enemy's abdomen and most muscular hind limbs were still stuck on the vertical bark and could not exert force on the platform, and the soldiers of the Divine Envoy King's Legion in the first row would not fall behind in one-on-one wrestling.

This tactical design gives the Stronghold Defenders the upper hand against the first wave of parasitic ant warriors who are frantically attacking.

The parasitic ants, who had just climbed to the platform at the top of the fortress wall and were still unstable, were firmly restrained by the warriors of the first row of the Divine Envoy King's legion. Then the second row of fighters, who were crawling on the backs of the first row, took the opportunity to sneak up on the parasitic ants from a high place where they were unguarded, and cleanly cut off their necks.

The dead parasite, whose heaviest belly was still hanging from the platform, was driven to the ground and the whole body fell, leaving room for the next dead parasite.

At this time, since no new orders were received, the Divine Envoy King's legion still met the enemy according to the previous tactics.

However, the second wave of parasitic ant armies with unified commanders is obviously more difficult to deal with, especially their legion commander, the pale gold big-headed ant, who is surprisingly cunning.

The parasitic ants, who had just shown their heads and put a pair of forelimbs on the platform of the city wall, did not rush to climb up. They didn't even glance at the Divine Envoy King Legion who was waiting not far away, and put the silk thread parasite on the ground with their mouths on their own units.

Immediately, these silk thread parasites smelled the breath of a tempting new host wafting from the defense line of the Divine Envoy King's legion not far away, and immediately writhed and crawled over like snakes.

At this time, there was a commotion in the defense line of the Divine Envoy King Legion.

According to the plan and tactical arrangement, the defense line of the Divine Envoy King's legion should be the same as before, with the first row of fighters pinning down, and the second row of fighters responsible for killing, and the target is the enemy parasitic ants. This requires that the line of defense must not be loosened and retreated, and it is necessary to keep a close eye on the enemy parasitic ants at all times.

However, in addition, the protagonist also deliberately emphasizes that if he encounters silk parasites in battle, he must attach great importance to the threat of silk parasites.

The conflict between the two orders led to a disharmony between the soldiers of the Divine Envoy King's Legion in the first row, with some of the warriors deciding to keep an eye on the parasitic ants that crept up next, while others planned to destroy the small silk thread parasites that were rapidly approaching in front of them.

This caused a little confusion on the front line of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and even the commander of the squad didn't react for a moment how to deal with it.

This is also because the protagonist previously thought that the threat of silk thread parasites had been basically eliminated when defending on the city wall, according to the experience of fortress defense, so he did not include it in the plan, which caused the evil consequences.

It seems that this wave of enemies is not so easy to deal with.
