I Am the Swarm

Chapter 61: after the war

They annihilated the divisions of the five coalition armies one after another, and killed 120,000 to 30,000 red and black ants. Although Rowan's team also lost about 10,000 troops, the number of swarms not only did not decrease, but also increased by more than 20,000, supplemented by the mobile troops that came one after another.

At this time, the coalition forces finally realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly recalled the team again, and the army reunited.

However, in just half a day's effort, the regrouped army has shrunk several times from above.

Rowan no longer has any sense of crisis. He was so wary of red ants because he didn't know much about them. But now they put all their cards in front of his eyes, it's really easy to deal with this kind of opponent with poor mobility and very simple detection methods.

The red-black ant coalition gradually found that they seemed to have entered a cage during the next march, and the dispatched scout team would disappear inexplicably as long as they left the main force for a certain distance.

On the way, there are all kinds of chaotic landmark pheromones everywhere, and it is impossible to find which direction to go. They did not dare to divide their troops again, so they could only bite the bullet and move on.

Day and night alternated, and the day passed quickly, and the mixed coalition forces actually discovered the traces they left yesterday. This is indeed the case. They just walked in circles under the constant guidance of Rowan.

The scouts they sent will be discovered by the scout bugs as soon as they leave the main force, and the mobile team riding on the transport bugs will ambush in front of them and quickly wipe them out.

Then, the spy bugs accompanying the team will sweep away the traces left by the reconnaissance team and rearrange the false landmark information. The coalition forces could not distinguish the disguised information at all, and could only follow blindly.

And in this day and night, the number of scouts they lost has accumulated to more than 10,000.

Another day passed, and the coalition army, which lost more than 10,000 scouts again, still did not get out of the cycle, and was still advancing in vain.

And for such a long time, they have been marching without supplies, and finally they can't hold on anymore.

The army stationed in place to reduce physical consumption, and then sent several teams to scatter out to find food, but these teams with an average number of only about 10,000 are naturally meat buns and dogs, and they will never return.

In one day, only two of the more than ten teams that went out to find food returned, and they didn't bring back too much food.

The coalition forces, which once again lost more than 100,000 troops, had nothing to do at this time. They lacked supplies and their vision was blocked, so they could only continue to send out food-seeking teams the next day.

After several days of assembly, Rowan's men have nearly 300,000 available soldiers. Sufficient manpower allows him to lay traps more calmly. Therefore, none of the teams sent by the coalition forces to look for food today returned.

At night, the unfavorable factors accumulated over many days of hunger finally broke out. Although the ants had no morale, the hunger still caused them to have some disturbances.

The red ants started attacking the black ants, killing them, and then feeding.

For some unknown reason, the more black ants did not resist. Also lacking food, they watched their companions being killed indifferently, but just shrugged their tentacles and lay on the ground quietly, welcoming their fate.

Rowan naturally saw this situation, and if he besieged the coalition for a few more days, maybe they could kill most of them by themselves.

However, after a few days of restless sleep, Rowan was also a little tired, and dealing with such a low IQ opponent made him not feel the pleasure of IQ crushing.

The coalition troops, which have been consumed by several rounds and only have more than 200,000 remaining, are exhausted and their combat strength is greatly damaged. It is time to solve them.

The messengers shuttled around, and the army began to gather. The 300,000 army surrounded the coalition and then slowly approached.

Although the swarm army hasn't rested much these days, it has enough food and is all muscle tissue with sufficient energy. Naturally, its combat power is not comparable to the current coalition.

In addition, these days, Luo Wen intends to reduce the consumption of the formic acid solution of the worker ants, and their depleted acid storage sacs are refilled.

So, the first thing that greeted the coalition was the saturated acid bombardment of nearly 200,000 worker ants!

This round of attack caused the coalition army, which had few remaining troops, to lose another 50,000 or 60,000 combatable soldiers, and due to the excessive amount of acid, the land in this battlefield area became muddy, and some areas even accumulated There were acid puddles.

Acid-resistant armor is standard, and the swarm troops naturally ignore these factors, but such terrain has caused great trouble to the coalition forces.

Many ants were crawling and crawling, their legs were corroded and broken, and they fell to the ground. As a result, a larger area of ​​the body came into contact with the acid ground, and after a while, it was impossible to get up again.

Even in the face of various unfavorable factors, the dying counterattack of the more than 100,000 coalition troops still caused a lot of casualties to the insect swarm army.

Most of the dead were the various soldier ants and transport ants that rushed to the front~www.novelmt.com~ The worker ants lost very little because they were at the back of the team.

This was deliberately done by Rowan. For this war, the swarm temporarily produced too many soldier ants and transport insects.

Soldier ants are not involved in production. They don't care about anything but fights. Usually, it is enough to maintain a certain number to complete the task of guarding and defending. Too many numbers will make the swarm a burden.

Although the transport bug is very useful, it can quickly transfer a large amount of materials and troops. But these guys are big carnivorous creatures. If it wasn't for the war, there wouldn't be so much meat to feed these big guys.

Now is the final battle with the coalition forces, and the main force of the coalition forces is here. Although the subsequent occupation of enemy territory, there are still many places where they are needed. However, it is still more cost-effective to consume them at this time than the workers, which are more useful for occupation and construction.

The war lasted until the evening, and the worker ants were now dragging away the well-preserved corpses of both sides. Then, the bitten off and corroded remains of the amputated limbs were collected. These are not easy to preserve, and will be preferentially processed for protein recycling.

This battle lasted seven days, wiped out more than 700,000 enemy troops, and lost more than 90,000 troops. Among them, the loss of troops in the final decisive battle alone accounted for half.

Looking at the red ant queen whose arthropods were bitten off by the worker ants in front of him, this is his trophy, and he hopes to harvest some new gene fragments.

However, his expectations were not too high. As a species similar to black ants, Rowan could not imagine what special talents this red ant queen had.

It will take a long time to clean up the battlefield, so Rowan didn't stay here any longer. The constant commanding for several days has also pushed his spirit to the limit. Now, it is time to take a break.
