Chapter 286 Nest Area Cleanup

The infantry line was deployed and advanced forward. Soldiers raised their rifles and quickly killed the active corrupted wasps in their field of vision. Heavy military boots fell on the grass with the soldiers' steps, and each group supported each other at a certain distance.

Groups of three can minimize the risk of corrupted wasps or other suicide attacks.

Every nine infantry combat groups have a gray-clothed platoon leader with a different armband from the others standing at the back of the team to command the action.

Most corrupted wasps just poked their heads out of the nests they built for themselves, and were killed by several accurate bullets that followed, with their bodies hanging down and bleeding.

On the east side of the battlefield, a platoon leader raised his rifle and looked around to see if there was any danger in front of his troops while the soldiers in front opened fire to clear the way.

The platoon leaders were all excellent soldiers promoted from the soldiers, and their shooting skills were no less than others.

Every platoon leader must be proficient in tactical command and shooting skills.

This place has not been completely transformed into a swamp by the corrupted wasps, but there are some corpses piled on the ground that they have plundered or preyed on. These corpses will be stored in the pits for their larvae and young corrupt wasps to eat.

The platoon leader commanded his soldiers to avoid these food storage pits. After many days of fermentation, the pits began to emit a smell that was lethal to humans. Grayish-white mycelium had already stretched in the food storage pits, covering the remains that were so corrupt that it was difficult to distinguish the original owner.

Filled with the smell of death, they seemed to be immersed in the residence of some undead creature.

After they completely destroyed this nest area, these biological remains must also be burned and landfilled.

A team of soldiers walked to the living nest built by the wasps on the flat ground and stopped 20 meters away, observing the corrupt wasp nest area in front of them.

The nest area is composed of a large number of wood-brown composite hexagonal honeycombs, which are scattered on the plain in front of the cliff, and some have risen along the cliff.

Their huge size means that it is particularly difficult to build a large honeycomb that can bear their weight, and instead use a large number of small honeycombs instead. The size of the small nest is almost the same as their wooden residence. It is unknown how many corrupted wasps can live in it.

The wooden brown nest is solidified with wood pulp and paste-like attachments that they cannot identify. There seems to be something at the bottom of the small nest that fixes the nest.

Vines? Tree roots? Whiskers?

The platoon leader cannot see clearly between the thick soil layer and the building built by the wasps.

He marveled at the creativity of other creatures in his heart, and then ordered the soldiers to prepare for blasting and completely destroy the nest in front of him.

He took out a fire starter from his arms and blew it. Then he took out the gray square bag from his waist and turned out the nitrated fuse.

The order they received was to completely destroy, not to accurately harvest the spoils.

The explosive pack is used for this purpose.

Ji Lin also received a report from the territory's troops stationed on the sky island that corrupted wasps were found. Corrupted wasps are good things. It's a pity that the way of survival of this creature is not compatible with the territory, and he may not be able to really get the nest of this creature to hatch in large quantities.

The system has set a clear boundary for the lords to cultivate auxiliary troops. It is difficult to obtain cheap and expendable combat units.

Except for the European emperor, few people can cultivate a large number of various war beast troops as their own auxiliary troops.

Ji Lin has hunting spiders as auxiliary troops, and the system cuts off his animal husbandry. There seems to be a soft upper limit on the types of creatures that everyone has in the low era, but unfortunately the system will never answer his questions.

Otherwise, he would like to get some corrupted wasps as auxiliary troops for his troops.

The gray-clothed soldier made a gesture to his comrades to avoid, and blew a whistle softly to let the hunting spiders circle back to the soldiers. Turning to look at the platoon leader behind him, he lit the fuse in his hand after getting the other party's nod of confirmation.

The nitrified fuse burns very quickly, and they use fuses of different lengths to determine the purpose - close-range throwing, throwing air explosion, long-delay detonation, and airship bombing.

The ignited fuse burned quickly in the air, making a terrifying hissing sound, urging the holder to stay away from it.

The soldier had already calculated the distance in his mind. What makes humans superior to other creatures in nature is their throwing ability. Their ancestors also threw stones and spears in their hands to kill enemies and prey tens of millions of years ago.

There is a joke that the development of human beings is to boil water and throw things more efficiently.

The suddenly rising flames and gray smoke covered the small nest. The nest they built was not as strong as it looked. Under the shock wave, it quickly turned into sawdust mixed with blood.

The soldiers took two steps back to avoid the debris flying in the air falling on their heads, and the hunting spiders jumped away nimbly to avoid the debris falling from the sky.

Along with the gray smoke, there was a corrupted wasp that wanted to ambush the soldiers in the nest. It didn't even have time to wail before it was sent into the sky by a large amount of explosives.

A small beehive was completely cleared, leaving only a base that looked like a large bowl lying flat on the ground. He saw tree-like roots exposed under the base, which helped the beehive placed on the ground to stabilize its structure.

There were still thirty such nests waiting for them to clean up. I hope the observer on the airship didn't count wrong... It would be a troublesome project.

The platoon leader thought that if all these nests could be set on fire, there would be no such trouble.

Use high-temperature flames to burn everything.

"Confirm safety, continue forward..."

A hunting spider hit the platoon leader's leg with its head, then turned and ran towards a ground structure that had just been blown to pieces.

The platoon leader turned his head and saw a white and tender larva of the corrupted wasp surrounded by a group of hunting spiders. The larva had entered a half-dead state with only exhalation but no intake.

The platoon leader scratched his head. There was still a considerable difference between this white and tender larva and the yellow and black form of the corrupted wasp. The hunting spiders were waiting for the corrupted wasp larva to die and feast on it.

The larvae of the bee colony seemed to be edible, but the platoon leader was not interested in the larvae of carnivores and scavengers.

The larvae of the corrupted wasp did not know whether it was because it was too frightened or because it was dying. It stopped moving after twisting for a while.

The platoon leader touched his chin and thought.

Anyway, these things are going to be burned, so why not give the hunting spiders a full meal...since they like to eat.

The guards hiding in the forest wanting to see how the soldiers deal with the accumulated nests opened their mouths wide... It was the first time he saw these people take out explosive packs for close combat.

Usually they only use larger caliber "guns" on the airship to shoot at ground units.

The nests of corrupt wasps are not so afraid of fire after being attached with their secretions. The complete nests will even be covered with rotten mud in the swamp by the corrupt wasps to prevent their nests from being burned by flames.

The kingdom's solution is to use siege engines and spellcasters to knock down the nests one by one from a distance, and then advance.

There is not only one pair of eyes in the forest observing the soldiers, the natives in the deep green forest also cast cold eyes on the soldiers.

The tree demons exchanged thoughts with cold eyes in the forest. Tree people do not need the conventional language organs of humans. They can communicate quickly through the resonance of close proximity between the same race.

The tree elves are the most intelligent social creatures in the entire Sky Island. They can use spells and control fairies, but everyone regards them as unintelligent creatures like wild monsters. The tree elves between different islands can even use spells to transmit information over long distances - they knew that invaders would arrive.

'They are different... They are fewer in number, but more... terrifying...'

'The plan to attract corrupted wasps to fight against outsiders has failed. '

'Sooner or later, they will go deep into the forest... New solutions are necessary. '
