I Am the Swarm

Sure enough, it was right not to have expectations. Rowan woke up the next day and found nothing to gain. But specifically, you still have to go back to the mother's nest to inquire, to know exactly.

But before that, he still has some post-war work to do.

After a day of repairing, Rowan crossed the border with an army of 300,000 people and marched into the territory of the red ants.

In the previous decisive battle, the coalition army was surrounded by insect swarms and wiped out, and there were no remaining soldiers lost along the way. Luo Wen thought that taking over the coalition's territory was just a passing scene.

Unexpectedly, shortly after entering the opponent's territory, they encountered two reorganized troops, with a total number of about 30,000. They should have gone to hunt far away, just returned, and are planning to support the front line.

It is also considered that they are unlucky, just approaching the border line, they just happened to encounter the army of insect swarms.

There is nothing to say, the transport worm leads the soldier ants to divide the battlefield, and the 300,000-strong army surrounds and destroys the 30,000 enemy army is only a matter of minutes.

Although the red ants took black ants as captives, Rowan did not accept them. These combat units only have basic templates and only one set of identification system, and the loopholes are too large. Recycling into protein is their current best option.

However, these red-black ant coalition forces are also very strong, and they have no intention of surrendering at all.

Soon, they became food reserves for the swarm army, and were placed on the backs of transport worms.

In the next few days, the reconnaissance bug was released, and Rowan led the army to investigate back and forth along the border, waiting here.

The background of the coalition army is very extraordinary. From time to time, there are teams coming from afar, the number is from several thousand to tens of thousands, but the most is not more than 30,000.

But as soon as their figures appear, they will be discovered by Rowan or scout insects, and after that, they will be surrounded by swarms that are several times their number.

After a fierce battle, obediently became a reserve grain.

In the past few days, there were more than 30 teams destroyed, with the number approaching 500,000. However, they usually appear alone, and the average number of each team is only about 10,000.

Therefore, although there are many, they have only caused less than 10,000 battle damage to the swarm.

Rowan sighed a little, if the coalition forces paid more attention to logistical supplies and had the ability to wait a few more days to assemble an army of one million, then he would be really in trouble.

Several days have passed, and Rowan has not encountered the coalition troops who came to the front to support him for more than a day.

It seems that the teams they went to hunt in the distance are almost back, and there is no need to wait here.

So, the swarm army finally thought of going deep into the coalition territory.

There was no resistance along the way. It seems that after their nests were stolen, the queens all went to the front. They did not continue to station any troops in the territory, and all living forces were ordered to support the front.

It's a pity that the communication methods of the worms are too backward, and the war is over and they still don't know it.

At this moment, Rowan was once again eager to obtain an advanced means of communication. Unfortunately, he still has no clue as to how to get it.

The army marched north for 500 meters and came to the entrance of the volcano-shaped lair. As the old nest of the red-black ant alliance, it is still submerged in water and has no use value at all.

Rowan didn't stay too long, and continued to sweep across the area, trying to eliminate all hidden dangers.

Until the army continued to investigate more than 500 meters north along the zigzag route, and the army's reserves had also been consumed by half, Luo Wen finally confirmed that the site with a radius of one kilometer was temporarily safe.

Instead of following the army to continue the investigation, he split the army into two parts.

Part of it consists of soldier ants, transport ants and a small number of worker ants, about 70,000 or 80,000. They will carry most of the army's food reserves and continue along the route, all the way north.

These guys have to rely on war to support war to feed, let them continue to expand their territory.

Later, Rowan returned with the remaining 200,000 worker ants. On the way, he divided these worker ants into fifty groups, leaving a group to build bases on site every time he walked a certain distance.

When he returned to the border, he was alone. Immediately, however, he ran into another swarm team.

The team escorted fifty queens, who were already near the front line. After confirming the safety of the newly occupied area, Rowan sent a signal soldier back to inform these ant queens to rush to the new territory.

The fifty branch bases built on the road are also prepared for them, and they will be responsible for guarding and developing the territory around the base.

Of course, there are only fifty queens in this new territory of one kilometer, which is slightly insufficient. After he returns to the mother's nest, he will continue to hatch some queens. Not only can they come here to fill the blind spots of fifty bases. It can also be sent to guard the new site captured by the northern army at any time.

After arranging the affairs here, this territorial dispute was finally resolved. Rowan returned to the mother's nest at the rear and continued to be an otaku.

Through the inquiry of the mother's nest, the red ant queen did not add any new gene segments to him~www.novelmt.com~ This result did not surprise Rowan.

However, why the black ants surrender to the red ants after the death of the queen ants, this question may always exist and cannot be solved.

Fortunately, Rowan is not curious about this, nor does he have a strong desire to acquire this skill. After all, the surrendered black ants are not at ease when they use them. They still become nutrients, and it is better to provide energy for the queens to lay eggs.

The days returned to calm again, and the swarm continued to develop steadily. During this period, due to some considerations, Rowan rebuilt two expeditionary forces.

One was to restore the formation of the western army. In the early stage of the confrontation with the coalition army, the strength was seriously insufficient, and the original western army was also called back to support. Now that the war is over, it is natural to restore their organization and continue their western exploration work.

The other is the newly formed northwest army, which is responsible for exploring the blind spot between the western army and the northern army. As the exploration distance of these two armies gradually increases, the blind spot between them will gradually increase. It is necessary to form a special army to be responsible for this blind spot.

At the same time, the two teams were instructed to send a team every three days to report back on the situation. Of course, out of consideration for their IQ, Rowan arranged another ant queen to accompany each team.

The IQ of the queen ant is obviously higher, and at least it can pass back some simple messages. As the territory gets bigger and bigger, it is impossible for Rowan to get news by patrolling the territory himself as he did at the beginning.

At the same time, one cannot favor one over the other. After the two teams were sent away, another queen ant was arranged to take a transport bug to rush to the northern army to join them at the fastest speed.

The bugs have no selfishness, so they should be happy to accept this airborne commander.
