I Am the Swarm

Although the Red-Black Ant Coalition had lost more than 100,000 troops, they also received some support from their rear territories in two days, and the total strength was still over 500,000.

On Rowan's side, as the newly mature bugs in the territory arrived at the front line one after another, the total force was close to 300,000.

The gap in strength between the two sides was gradually narrowed.

But the enemy finally came to his senses and no longer gave Rowan the opportunity to continue to consume. They assembled the army and ignored the emptied underground passages and the surrounding harassment. They crossed the underground base and headed for the interior of the swarm territory.

Rowan hid on the tree trunks of vegetation that the coalition forces were about to pass by, and roughly estimated that the ratio of red and black for the coalition forces had reached 1:9. The red ants inside had already been consumed by most of the passage in the underground base due to the charge ahead.

Although their total number is still more than 500,000, their combat effectiveness has shrunk a lot.

However, in the center of the army, Rowan found several huge red ants. They are dozens of times the size of ordinary red ants, and through their distinctive features of long, bulging abdomens, they turn out to be the queens of red ants.

Rowan didn't find these guys when he probed before. It seems that they were brought by reinforcements from the rear in the past two days. And these queens can get along in harmony. Could it be that the red ants are a group of many queens?

It's just that their stance of dragging their families with their mouths makes Rowan feel somewhat inexplicably familiar.

After thinking for a while, he was surprised to find that this is the classic tactic of the Zerg—the whole family changes families, isn't it?

Unexpectedly, with the IQ of these red ants, they can even think of such a tactic.

However, it is clear that the tactics they understand are still flawed. The essence of changing families is to defend their own homes and hold back the enemy's main force, while their own troops take the opportunity to capture the enemy's base camp.

But now, the insect swarm army is right next to them, and they want to forcibly change their homes, which is really courting death.

The swarms of insects hidden under the base came out in full force, biting the rear army of the red and black coalition forces, and the two torrents collided together. The transport worms took the lead in breaking into the battlefield with the worker ants on their backs, and a wave of long-range strikes came first, paralyzing some enemy troops, causing chaos, and then quickly withdrawing.

Most of the coalition forces are now black ants. They don't have stings. They have nothing to do with these long legs, who will walk away as soon as they touch it.

Even if someone bit the foot of a transport bug occasionally, they would be stabbed to death by the transport bug next to them.

Formic acid spray is sprayed in this open air environment, and the effect is naturally not as good as that in narrow underground holes. However, it is not expected that they can kill many enemy troops now. Many enemy troops with corroded tentacles turned into headless flies, scurrying around in the army formation. After a while, the tens of thousands of troops in the rear of the coalition army were completely in chaos, and gradually became out of touch with the friendly forces in front.

At this moment, the swarm of insects that followed them accelerated and rushed towards them, and the two sides started a fierce hand-to-hand battle in the open field.

Although ordinary black ants are weak chickens with poor combat effectiveness, at this point in the melee of tens of thousands of troops, the difference in individual strength is not so obvious.

Even Rowan, who is extremely powerful in single combat, may be bitten to death by black ants if he is surrounded by enemy forces.

The tragic case of the spider has always reminded him.

Just as a red ant hugged a worker ant and stabbed a stinger into its abdomen, a passing worm pierced its head and died instantly. But its sting needle was still stuck in the abdomen of the worker ant, and the toxin quickly disintegrated the internal muscles of the worker ant. It no longer had the strength to pull out the sting needle, and its struggle gradually weakened.

A giant E soldier ant rushed too far forward, and as soon as it pinched a black ant, it was surrounded by dozens of black ants, some biting its limbs and pulling it around, while others attacked it. Arthropod joints.

When it had only two legs left, reinforcements finally arrived and rescued it.

However, it is unable to grow arthropods again, and it has lost its ability to move, waiting for it to be processed by recycled proteins.

Hundreds and thousands of bugs died every moment on the battlefield, and the intensity of the battle was indescribable in words.

Due to the lack of terrain advantages, the swarms were directly confronted with each other. Although the swarm was stronger, the battle losses still increased a lot.

However, when the large number of mobile troops of the insect swarm arrived, they had just been back and forth with the swarm army, and the allied troops showed their defeat in an instant.

The use of pheromones to transmit information is ultimately too inefficient. The news of the attack from the rear is transmitted layer by layer to the decision-making layer of the coalition forces, and then transmitted layer by layer.

When the former coalition army changed into the latter army, and when they turned back and planned to fight Rowan's troops, the swarm had already eaten up the tens of thousands of coalition troops, and took advantage of their mobility to drag the spoils away.

The coalition forces were so frustrated that they began to pursue the entire army, but the traces left on the road showed that the swarm evacuated in several routes.

The bug with a low IQ has not read the art of war, so UU reading www.uukanshu.com rashly divided the army into several teams to pursue. But after chasing for a distance along the remaining pheromone, they encountered the choice of a fork in the road again, so they split up again.

These leftover pheromones were all dealt with by Rowan's order of the spy bugs. Originally, it was only intended to simply divert the sight of the coalition forces and slow down their pursuit.

But he didn't expect these ants to be so upright, and they would start dividing their troops whenever they encountered a fork in the road. If that was the case, then he was welcome.

Continue to assign the spy bugs to set up fork roads along the way. After the swarm army converged, they simply ate a portion of the spoils to replenish the consumed stamina.

After a while, the army began to assemble and prepare. Due to the hurried incident, Rowan had only about 150,000 soldiers available, and more than 100,000 soldiers were scattered around the area.

Although Rowan has ruled out the signal troopers to find those mobile units, he still hopes that they will act as they see fit and not collide with the enemy's large army, which will cost them their lives in vain.

After several divisions, in addition to the main force to protect the queen ants, the coalition still has more than 200,000 troops, and many others have only 20,000 to 30,000 small units.

Rowan seduced a team of more than 20,000 ants away from the large army. The army of more than 100,000 ants ambushed here took transport insects, and instantly surrounded them, trying not to let one go.

With such a large difference in numbers, the individual combat power is not yet dominant, and this small unit of troops has already been wiped out without consuming much of the swarm army's physical strength.

Afterwards, Rowan walked around the coalition with this troop, constantly seducing out a sub-group, and then annihilating it.

Although the tactics are single, but every time they try it out, Rowan has a feeling of being at a high altitude. His ordinary human wisdom, playing the art of war among a group of worms, is simply too much to bully the worms.
