I Am the Swarm

Chapter 58: steal home

The water flowed in continuously from the breach of the ant nest for two minutes, and the water waves in the hole rolled out with a large amount of soil and red and black ants.

After the turbulent water at the entrance of the cave collided back and forth several times, the water level of the cave was kept at the same level as the outside, and the water surface gradually stabilized.

On the surface of the water near the entrance of the cave, a large number of red and black ants were floating. Most of them were not drowned on the spot, and were still struggling on the water.

Some lucky ones stepped on the body of their companions and moved to the shore with difficulty, and climbed ashore with great effort.

However, exhausted, they have to face the digging ants who are waiting on the shore.

The terrain inside the ant nest is complex, and after all, only a few can be rolled out by the water waves, and most of them have been buried underwater.

This time, the enemy's old nest was taken, and there were tens of thousands of red and black ants that were exterminated. The most important thing is that all the food they have accumulated in the cave has gone to waste.

This made their already tight frontline supplies even worse.

After dealing with the lucky ones who wanted to climb ashore, slowly the ants in the water stopped struggling and floated quietly on the water.

Rowan ordered the digging ants to return to support the little soldier ants and use up all the formic acid solution stored.

Although the combat power of the excavator ants is not as good as that of the small soldier ants, the number of them is too large, and the tangled battlefield will be drowned in an instant.

After cleaning the battlefield, the corpses of the enemy and friendly troops were processed for protein recycling. The army boarded the back of the transport bug and quickly retreated towards the river.

It is better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible to prevent the army on the front line from returning to help madly.

Come to the river and meet the digging ants here.

According to statistics, only 6,000 of the 10,000 digging ants that dug up the last barrier were left, and nearly 4,000 were swept away by the current the moment the **** burst.

In addition to the excavation of the last distance just now and the subsequent battle, the excavating ants also lost more than 3,000.

Of the more than 5,000 little soldier ants, there were only less than 3,000 left, and nearly half of them died in battle.

Even two large combat units like the transport bug were left behind.

In this battle, more than 10,000 bugs of various arms were lost, but the results were also brilliant. After a little trimming, Rowan ordered the entire army to return.

Along the river, bypassing the enemy patrols, the exhausted army couldn't help tossing again.

Fortunately, there were no dangers and dangers along the way, and the army returned to the front-line command center smoothly. Of course, the bugs would not have these names. These names were all named by Rowan in order to increase the sense of ceremony. In fact, this is just the sub-base station closest to the front line.

But now there is a large army gathering here. Not counting the digger ants that were withdrawn just now, there are still about 150,000 ordinary worker ants here.

Due to the late start of production, the small soldier ants have already worked overtime, but the number is still small. Even if the more than 2,000 ants that were withdrawn just now are added, it is only 30,000.

However, there were more than 10,000 common soldier ants in the original version.

Counting the transport worms, the number of soldiers capable of fighting could reach more than 200,000, and even adding the diggers, it would be less than 250,000. Moreover, the digging ants have just used up the formic acid solution, and their combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least half within a few days.

And the other side has at least 500,000 troops, more than double the strength of the insect swarm. Fortunately, black ants can occupy 70% of them, and with Rowan's command, they should be able to fight.

Moreover, the opponent's nest was taken away, and there was a problem with the supply. And although the swarm is tight in the rear, and most of the members have been transferred to the front line, they can still barely maintain normal operation. As time goes by, Rowan's odds of winning are getting bigger and bigger.

So at this time, the tactic of the insect swarm is to hold still, delay time, and respond to changes without change.

But the red-black ant coalition did not intend to give Rowan a chance to delay time. The next day was just a little brighter, and the dense enemy army crossed the border and rushed towards the swarm.

However, even if the time was short, Rowan did not panic at all, he had already prepared for the decisive battle. It's just that the longer it drags on, the less the swarm will suffer.

He is also someone who has been bombarded with information. With his wisdom in crushing ants, he has no choice but to make arrangements for them.

The fact that the enemy can easily find the swarm's station is related to his induction.

Rather than having a decisive battle in an area that cannot be controlled, it is better to prepare a stage in advance and let both sides perform to their heart's content.

With the advantage of the sight distance of the big-eyed reconnaissance bug, every move of the enemy army is under Rowan's control. As soon as they started, a small group of insect swarms kept appearing in front of them on the road, and they kept retreating strategically, attracting them to the station step by step.

The stage has already been set up, and now it's time for the actors to enter.

The swarms of insects used as bait have returned one after another, retreating into the base cave one after another.

The red and black ant coalition followed, and the dense ants seemed to dye the ground two colors.

However, when they arrived, the surface of the swarm was clean~www.novelmt.com~ without any creatures, leaving a dark funnel-shaped hole on the ground.

Facing the deep hole like the eye of the abyss, the coalition forces did not hesitate at all. The red ant was small in size, flexible and fierce, and took the lead in charging and burrowing into the cave first.

After entering the cave, the first thing they have to face is a long passage, and after climbing through this passage, they will enter a huge cave.

Here, they were beaten head-on.

Dozens of giant E soldier ants are distributed around the entrance of the passage. The red ants are caught and thrown behind as soon as their heads are exposed. The densely packed little soldier ants behind them will swarm up and deal with the red ant.

Relying on this kind of blocking method alone to solve the 500,000 army is naturally a fantasy, but it can effectively delay the time.

Just like this, a group of giant E soldier ants exhausted their physical strength and retreated to the rear to rest, and the next group of giant E soldier ants would soon fill the vacancy.

The red ants in the front were constantly being dragged out and killed, and the enemy troops in the rear did not know the situation and continued to move forward.

Sometimes they also gushed out at the same time or were squeezed out of the channel by the friendly forces behind. There were a lot of them, and they even broke through the defense line of the giant army ants. However, in the face of dozens or hundreds of times their strength in the cave behind, they still couldn't get out. What a splash.

Although the passage is relatively wide, it is still too narrow for hundreds of thousands of troops. After all, there are only a few people who can enter the passage. After half a day, after sending more than 10,000 insect heads, the army waiting in line behind to enter the cave finally became impatient.

Some small teams began to leave the big ones and scattered around, wanting to hunt some wild food.

But their whereabouts have long been seen by the scouts. When they are far away from the main force, what awaits them is the swarm mobile unit that has long sharpened their knives.
