I Am the Swarm

After going back and forth a few times like this, the strength of the ant nest is somewhat weak. But at the same time, the formic acid solution reserves of the hive workers have also been depleted.

Rowan, who had been watching the battle for a long time, finally entered the forefront of the battlefield. His huge size was several times larger than that of a soldier ant. With the cooperation of the bugs, he was like a bulldozer on the battlefield, rampaging.

It's not that he was cowardly, well, he was indeed a little cowardly at the beginning.

With his size, he is an easy target on the battlefield.

With the increase of his size, although his strength and physique have been greatly strengthened. But at the same time, due to his physical structure, his ability to deal with small targets has been greatly weakened. Especially the back, it is a defensive blind spot.

If there are too many worker ants in the nest surrounding him, he can't defend at all. If these guys climb on his back, there is really no good way to deal with them.

He is basically covered with hard chitin armor, and these small combat units can't break his defense at all. Only the large bulb-like eyes lack the necessary protection, which can easily be destroyed by the teeth of the worker ants.

When the worm nest team besieged the cliff spider, these worker ants got into the spider's body directly from the wound. And the ant nest worker ants, which are the basic template of the worm nest worker ants, are expected to do this too.

He didn't want to try the spider's treatment.

And now that his side has the advantage in strength, there is no need for him, the commander, to charge.

Therefore, when the battle was fierce in the early stage, he watched from a distance, occasionally beheading a few returning scout worker ants.

But now, the intensity of the battlefield has decreased, and he, who has already been enthusiastic, can finally come forward and have fun.

Several worker ants climbed on his carapace to protect his back, preventing the nest worker ants from climbing up and attacking. There are dozens of worker ants at his feet, protecting his feet and blocking the enemies approaching him from both sides...

There are also several soldier ants behind to defend the rear...

So, Rowan only needs to face the enemy in front of him.

Although the two big eyes are weak points in defense, the super high refresh rate provided by them makes the dodging of these enemy worker ants and soldier ants in front of him a joke.

Eja precisely clamped the chest and abdomen of a worker ant, exerting a little force, and the two stumps fell from both sides of his closed Eja.

He stretched out a foot, and prowled towards another worker ant like lightning.

The sticky hairs on the small claw palms at the front of the foot opened, and the foot retracted, dragging the worker ant back.

Between jaws opening and closing, he beheaded him, waved his feet, and threw the body that was still stuck to his claws aside at will.

Now faced with this kind of opponents who are already several levels away for him, he can easily deal with them.

Rowan is worried that if this continues, the special talent of Roche's martial arts will lose its usefulness due to neglect of practice.

Fortunately, another ant nest soldier appeared in front of him and rushed towards him. With its size, he could barely taste his talent.

So, Roche's martial arts started to meet it.

Gradually, new troops no longer appeared at the entrance of the ant nest, and the ant nest troops on the ground that had lost follow-up support were quickly divided and cleaned up.

Rowan's tentacles swayed from side to side, pheromones with new instructions permeated, and the worker ants guarding his footsteps left one after another.

After a while, a dozen or so soldier ants formed a commando and rushed in from the hole of the ant nest. Hundreds of worker ants followed closely behind and were in charge of assisting.

At the same time, there were several standby troops in the underground waiting for the worker ant messengers, and they all received Rowan's new orders.

In the underground part of the ant nest, many passages were broken open, revealing the figures of several digging ants, and they quickly expanded the opening. Subsequently, a large number of worker ants rushed into the passage under the leadership of the soldier ants.

For a time, several troops from the worm nest entered the ant nest from different directions.

The living strength of the ant nest has long been exhausted, and the few remaining soldiers are unable to make effective resistance at all, not to mention that their queen ants have already died, and there is no insect command at all, and they are fighting each other.

Soon, the multiple troops of the worm nest converged in the hatching room of the ant nest. Under the command of Rowan, some of the soldier ants dispersed with a small number of worker ants, and probed each branch channel to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net.

And a large number of worker ants rushed into the hatching room and began to carry the spoils. The scraps of food here are carefully ground by the worker ants, which is very conducive to consumption and is the first-class food.

In addition, eggs, pupae and larvae are also good proteins that can be recycled and reused.

Until midnight, the convoys of worker ants carrying the spoils were still going back and forth to the battlefield in the underground passage.

And Rowan, as the supreme commander of this battle, conscious of his hard work and merit, has already returned to his bedroom to rest.

According to statistics after the war, more than 5,000 members of the ant nest were almost wiped out, and there were still some scouting worker ants outside, but they did not return due to the distance. There are not many fish that slip through the net, which is not a cause for concern.

Because of its excellent tactical command, the insect nest lost only hundreds of worker ants and more than 20 soldier ants. Rowan is too lazy to count the specific numbers. First, he is the only one who can count in this huge worm nest. As the highest officer of the Insect Nest, he only needs to know about it, but he is too lazy to clarify, and no insect will blame him for this.

Second, the corpses of the bugs, those lacking arms and legs, those belonging to the enemy, and those belonging to one's own side, are all piled up together. We can only make judgments based on the remaining pheromones, and it is impossible to count the specific numbers.

The next morning, Rowan looked at the still busy insect nest and made some changes to the original battle plan.

The original goal of destroying an ant nest every day was temporarily postponed because Rowan had no specific concept of post-war disposal before. First, it took days for workers to restore their formic acid solution reserves.

Formic acid solution can blind and burn enemy troops in a large area, and it is a very good auxiliary means in war. But every time the reserves are depleted, it takes a long time to re-accumulate.

This time, the harvest of killing an entire ant nest is very large, and it takes a period of time for the nest to consume. This place is close to the lake, the air humidity is very high, and the food is not easy to preserve. If four ant nests are destroyed in a row, a large amount of food will accumulate, and if it is not consumed in time, it will probably spoil a lot.

The bugs in the worm nest are all creatures of the mother nest, and the mother nest and Rowan also have some secret intimacy. From the fact that Rowan's pheromone instructions were regarded as sacred by the bugs, we knew how close their relationship was.

Therefore, there will be no worms who will oppose what Rowan decides.

As a result, the worm hive troops postponed the plan to attack the remaining ant nests and entered a short-term repair work.
