Chapter 167: Fortress Battle (13)

The protagonist has already left his command position, and under the protection of the Praetorian Guard, he arrives on the east side of the first layer of the wall.

In the face of a behemoth like a war beast, it is bound to be a tough battle to rely only on the ordinary soldiers and ants of the Divine Envoy King Legion to fight it. The protagonist cannot be left alone, and at this time, his personal bravery will be of great help to the Legion, and his actions will also inspire the Legion's soldiers.

One of the parasitic dung beetles' flat, spiky, shovel-like forelimbs landed on a platform at the top of the city wall. With just one front paw, it is already several times larger than the size of the soldier ant, and the protagonist Hao has no doubt that if he is stepped on by this foot, there is no chance that any ant will survive.

Immediately after, the ugly head of the parasitic dung beetle war beast also rose, it was a hideous face shrouded in a black and strange carapace, and the two huge compound eyes revealed a red light that was a hundred times more ferocious than the parasitic ant.

Between the carapace and bristles of the parasitic dung beetle, there are still stains such as mud and corpses, which add a terrifying atmosphere to it.

The Divine Envoy Legion did not attack before the beast could fully climb up, because the legs and head of the parasitic dung beetle were covered in a thick carapace, and the soldiers had no place to eat.

The Divine Legion of Kings stepped back, leaving enough space for the beasts to fully climb onto the platform. Without the protagonist's help, according to the usual tactics, the big-headed ants will adopt wolf pack tactics, surround the giant dung beetle, and then pay huge casualties to attack its relatively fragile carapace gaps, compound eyes, and abdomen in order to kill the opponent or force it to escape.

However, now that there is a protagonist, it is different.

The protagonist has experimented and is able to lift a rock larger than a tennis ball, and his strength is more than enough to deal with the giant parasitic dung beetle. What the protagonist needs to worry about is that he doesn't have the right weapon, and it will be difficult to break through the thick carapace of the war beast and kill the opponent completely.

The parasitic dung beetle had already climbed the city wall, and behind it, dozens of parasitic ants also took the opportunity to gain a foothold on the city wall.

With the protagonist's order, the soldiers of the Divine Envoy King Legion, who had already retreated and surrounded the enemy, rushed forward bravely in small teams, vowing to drive the enemy off the city wall.

Due to the cramped space, only two squads were engaged in the battle, and the other units continued to form their usual defensive formations to deal with the increasing number of parasitic ants climbing up from other directions.

One squad is the Praetorian Guard, led by Mulan, who launch a diversion attack on the parasitic dung beetles in a scattered formation, providing cover for the protagonist who is quietly approaching the enemy. The other team formed a dense formation and attacked the parasitic ants behind the beast, trying to separate the commander, the guardian and the beast.

The parasitic dung beetle saw the enemy approaching, but it had seen such a small opponent many times and had long been accustomed to it.

It stared contemptuously at the enemies struggling to climb its arthrops and back, and lunged forward.

Immediately in front of the beast are Mulan and a handful of Praetorian Guards, the most agile and brave warriors, responsible for attracting the beast's attention and creating opportunities for the protagonist and other comrades.

But the parasitic dung beetle paid no attention to the tricks of the Divine Angel King's soldiers, and with a single charge, it shook off most of the ants that tried to surround it.

At the critical moment, Mulan jumped to the side and narrowly avoided the assault. Although Mulan dodged, the rest of the soldiers were not so lucky, they were hit hard, their bones were broken, and even if they didn't die, they only had half a breath left.

The protagonist, who was about to approach the war beast from behind, gasped, the speed of the parasitic dung beetle did not match the bloated size at all, not only did it have strong strength and thick defense, but even its speed was top-notch.

The sharp horns of the beast's head slammed directly into the second layer of the city wall, and even the sturdy "ant concrete" was knocked open with a gap. The wall shook a few times, and the two unsteady ranged warriors were shaken down, and the parasitic dung beetles easily stomped them both flat.

The parasitic dung beetle turned, its eyes still full of fanatical bloodlust. It's done this many times by storming enemies, and it's only satisfying to keep killing and then feasting on fresh or rotten enemy corpses after the battle.

Just as the parasitic dung beetle continued to ravage the weak big-headed ant with its huge body, it didn't notice that the parasitic ant warrior and the big worker ant commander who had been following closely behind it had been firmly dragged by a squad of the Divine Angel King's legion, and there were no more covering infantry behind him.

Just in a direction it doesn't notice, the protagonist moves quickly from the loose ant encirclement and quietly approaches his target from the side.

The protagonist kicks on his hind legs, and the immense force gives him excellent jumping. He slammed into the back of the beast, and countless silk thread parasites pounced on him. The protagonist's forelimbs swing like a windmill, and all the parasites of the future offender are hanged. After accumulating a lot of experience, he is no longer afraid of these parasites.

At first, the protagonist wants to break open the carapace behind the parasitic dung beetle and attack the soft part of the beast's wings from the position of the inner wings. But to his surprise, the dung beetle's outer wing carapace actually grew together, but it looked like there was a gap.

Time is pressing, and the protagonist doesn't have time to think about what the reason is.

He dodged the silk thread parasite that pressed on again, and rolled over and jumped off the broad, smooth back armor of the parasitic dung beetle.

As soon as he landed, he saw a huge foot step on the top of the protagonist's head. This isn't a beast's attack on the protagonist, it's just its normal pace when it moves.

However, once this giant foot is stepped on, with the protagonist's body like an ordinary ant, it is impossible to be spared.

The parasitic dung beetle advanced and retreated from the siege of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and none of the soldiers could withstand its random blows. Assault, foot pedal, overhead, any of its moves have terrifying destructive and lethal power.

It's just that what makes it puzzled and irritated is that these enemies in front of it are very scattered, even if it rushes left and right, it doesn't trample a few ants. It's like the stupid enemies I've encountered before, gathered in groups, and can trample over dozens or hundreds of them with a single charge.

Just as the parasitic dung beetle was invincible, it suddenly felt that its feet were blocked by something, and it could not step on the ground.

In the next second, this war beast, which had just been extremely powerful, felt like the sky was spinning. It tumbled and was thrown off the wall, then tumbled and smashed to the ground.

Before falling, from the spinning field of vision, the beast saw the culprit who had thrown it away, a male ant with a difference.
