Mice dominate the dungeon

"Knock knock knock!!"

As the sound of falling rocks echoed, a pair of sharp pincers appeared on the wall of the natural cave.

The jet-black burrowing ants struggled to emerge from the tunnel.

The tunnels they dug earlier are no longer suitable for the size of the burrowing ants, but that doesn't matter...

One after another, burrowing ants emerged from the hole, gradually widening it.

In the blink of an eye.

Nearly a hundred burrowing ants crawled out of the hole and gathered at the bottom of the natural cave.

At the very front of this group of burrowing ants stood a huge burrowing ant, its body so black that it had a metallic sheen!

Its pair of terrifying jaws were raised high, radiating an intense sense of oppression!

It was the leader of this ant colony's invasion of the mouse enclosure, and also the leader of this group of burrowing ants...

King Ant!

When the burrowing ants had all gathered behind him, the queen ant did not hesitate at all. With a flick of her antennae, she commanded the ant colony to charge towards the mouse enclosure!

Meanwhile, the area surrounding the park was already on high alert.

The Territory Wall (LV15), Invisible Bomb (LV15), and Spring Trap (LV15) are all in good condition, waiting for the arrival of the burrowing ants.

[Mortar LV10], [Cannon LV18], [Arrow Tower LV18], all defensive buildings are fully charged, with their spearheads and cannons all pointed in the direction of the burrowing ants' invasion.

In addition, a giant soldier rat lurks next to every defensive building!

The giant soldier rats were too big to be effective inside the park, so Twitch moved them all to the outer perimeter.

"Stop pretending!" Twitch, who had already climbed to the roof of the base camp, looked at the ant queen in the ant colony. "They didn't even say a word of greeting before starting the fight! How rude!"

At this moment, the burrowing ants transformed into a tidal wave, rapidly surging into the perimeter of the park.

They were first met with spring traps and hidden bombs.

The burrowing ants at the front were either blasted away or had most of their health destroyed by bombs.

Although these two types of traps cannot cause much substantial damage to the ant colony, they can temporarily slow down their advance.

At this moment, the "defense structures" began their first wave of attacks!

The fully charged "cannon" fired LV18 magic bullets at the burrowing ants.

The magic cannon, with its built-in precision strike, hit the pitch-black burrowing ant and sent it flying.

When the burrowing ant finally got up, it found that its body had been pierced through, leaving only a few drops of blood, and it was about to collapse.

At this moment, the archer rat on the arrow tower will shoot a deadly arrow, ending its life.

Aside from cannons and arrow towers, the most powerful weapon is undoubtedly the mortar!

As the mortar raised its muzzle high, a burst of magically compressed anti-aircraft fire shot into the sky with a dust-stirring recoil.

It then landed among the ant colony!

"Bang!"

A swarm of burrowing ants, along with the soil, was blasted into a pulpy substance!

The other burrowing ants nearby were all damaged by the splash damage from the mortar!

The fierce artillery fire formed an invisible moat, blocking the black tide outside the city walls!

Although some exceptionally fast burrowing ants manage to penetrate this defense, they are quickly met with the devastating punches of the giant soldier rats!

When the vanguard ant colony was unable to advance, the queen ant at the rear began to violently swing her knee-like antennae.

Dozens of robust guard ants stood at the forefront, protecting the advancing soldier ants from behind.

At the same time, an invisible force enveloped them.

Its originally jet-black skin now possesses a metallic texture, like that of an ant queen!

"Huh?!" Twitch blinked upon seeing this and exclaimed, "You can even add buffs?!"

The power of the cannonballs was greatly weakened by that strange metallic texture, so that the magic cannon, which was originally able to knock away the burrowing ants, could now only push the guard ants back a few steps.

Faced with mortars raining down from the sky, they did not choose to take a head-on approach, but instead took advantage of the slow impact of the mortars to move out of position and avoid them early on.

After the queen ant made her move, the situation began to shift in favor of the burrowing ants.

This made Tucci, who almost said "that's all," silently change his words.

"That's getting interesting..."

Twitch also began to take over the battlefield.

First, the positions of the various cannons were adjusted so that the shells would concentrate on attacking one position.

Then, the giant soldier rats were sent out of the "city wall" to face the burrowing ants that were about to charge forward.

Immediately, he looked towards the Ant King, who was separated from him by the entire battlefield.

Whether following the principle of "capture the leader first" or "kill the henchmen first," the ant king must die on the battlefield first!

next moment.

A squad of rat soldiers disappeared into the park from a hidden direction.

The squad leader was that savage rat soldier—Korgan!

Seeing the battlefield once again at a stalemate, the ant king, hiding in the back, did not give the ant colony any other boosts this time, but instead quietly watched the interior of the park.

It seems they are waiting for a crucial moment...

As the leader of the rat pack, Twitch also possessed "Danger Perception LV3," and he sensed something was amiss from the very beginning.

Whether it's the situation on the battlefield or the shifting atmosphere.

All of this made him sense an uneasy atmosphere.

I seem to have forgotten something crucial...

Standing above the base camp, Tucci suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked down at the ground in the park.

Burrowing ants!

As its name suggests, it can burrow underground!

"All rats in the park, watch your step!!"

Less than five seconds after Twitch's warning sounded, burrowing ants broke through the ground beneath several important defensive structures in the park.

"How rude! They just barged in without knocking!!"

Twitch yelled at him and stomped on the roof a few times with his paws to show his displeasure.

"You actually resorted to such sneak attacks! Couldn't you have attacked me head-on like I did?!"

Fortunately, it had its own advance warning, which alerted all the soldier rats in the park.

As soon as the burrowing ants emerged, the soldier rats took up weapons and fought them to prevent them from destroying defensive structures.

Even so, the battle was still extremely fierce.

The defensive structures that originally only needed to focus on dealing with the burrowing ants outside the walls now have to divert some of their firepower to deal with the burrowing ants that are right next to them.

Moreover, the number of holes on the ground in the park gradually increased, and countless burrowing ants emerged from them.

It seems that only a small portion of the burrowing ants are advancing outside the wall, while the main force has burrowed into the interior of the park!

It seems the burrowing ants really did gather some intelligence... Tucci murmured to himself.

Moreover, this ant king clearly possesses high intelligence, a trait he had never observed in other burrowing ants before.

Although the situation was somewhat dangerous, Twitch was not in a hurry, and even had the mood to give the Ant King two middle fingers in the distance.

After all, the mouse park is his territory!

A few little karaomis ran into his house, and he actually managed to tear it down?!

Tucci put his two paws together and murmured.

"Territory Expansion!"
