I Am the Swarm

Chapter 65: on offense

In the following dozens of days, Luo Wen ran around, planning the locations of new branch bases one by one along the periphery of the territory, and ordered all the queens in the territory to produce worker ants with all their might.

After these tens of days, the first ant queens have emerged from the chrysalis, and then they have to go to their assigned positions one after another.

Since there are too many queens hatched this time, although the existing more than 300 queens are producing at full capacity, the largest production base, the mother nest, is already full and cannot help.

The number of worker ants produced by these queens alone is limited, and many queens still have a huge labor gap in their own territory.

Therefore, before the queen ant set off, the standard soldiers who had originally increased to 2,000 were reduced to 1,000.

Rowan can't do anything about it. Anyway, the territory has been cleaned up, and the bugs that can threaten the base have become military rations. These places are very safe. The queen ants should go and develop slowly first, and when the production capacity is vacated later, they will make up the difference.

After dozens of days, the order for the mother nest has also been handed over, and the production of worker ants and transport insects has begun. As the production capacity of the mother nest is gradually released, a steady stream of worker ants are transported to various bases by transport insects to supplement their labor.

The brood has always shared Rowan's genes, it has always been slightly larger than Rowan, and the underground chamber where it is stored has been expanded several times.

Its production capacity is proportional to its body size. Compared with an ant queen, a mother nest is equivalent to the production capacity of 200 ant queens.

And as the queens in the new base in the north are in place one after another, the borders of the territory are constantly pushed forward. Time has passed and a hundred days have passed. The original buffer zone of about four kilometers was occupied by the insect swarm, and the bases were covered with this area like nails, connecting into one piece.

As the distance between the border line and the red ant nest gradually shrinks, the patrol team of the swarm inevitably encounters the hunting team of the ant nest.

Red ants are safari species and are born to robbery for a living. Although Rowan has developed animal husbandry, the construction and expansion of pastures require a large amount of land as the foundation.

So the two sides won't back down when they meet, and the two troops didn't have a talk before the war. They just checked each other's pheromone and confirmed that they were not their own people. The two torrents were then mixed together.

In fact, Rowan had already seen this meeting in his eyes. Otherwise, the swarm patrol team alone has only a few hundred troops, and it simply cannot compete with the tens of thousands of red ants' prey team.

Relying on the strong visual advantage and mobility, Rowan dispatched the 60,000 northern army near Chen Bing long ago when the hunting team was still ignorant. A pocket formation was arranged in front of the hunting team, waiting for their patronage.

There is no suspense in the battle. How can a mixed team of more than 10,000 worker ants and soldier ants defeat 60,000 elite soldiers. The result was indeed the same. The northern army wiped out this hunting team with only a hundred soldiers lost.

Since then, battles have become more frequent, and there have been hunting teams operating near the border, because of various "accidents", they entered the encirclement of the northern army.

And because Rowan has a superior force and is well prepared, he will wipe out his opponent every time, and will also clean up the battlefield after the war, confusing the pheromones on the battlefield. Therefore, the red ants have been losing more than 30 teams one after another, and they have not noticed anything wrong.

It's a pity that the red ants' hunting team in this direction has been exhausted, and it is too troublesome to go to other directions to set up traps and slowly consume them.

In the last red ant nest, Rowan had the patience to play with them slowly because of his weak strength.

But now he is no longer the one he used to be, and the strength of the swarm is not as weak as it was then.

After this period of recuperation, the war potential of more than 1,500 ant queens was revealed at this time.

With Rowan's order, in addition to the 300 or so queen ants that were too far away from the northern front line, the remaining 1,200 or so, plus the mother's nest, began to riot with all their strength.

Under this circumstance, in a short period of time, the front line has gathered an army of 1 million worker ants and 100,000 soldier ants, plus the more than 60,000 soldiers and other auxiliary troops that were originally here, which is close to An army of 1.2 million gathered here.

In terms of number alone, it has already surpassed the red ant's nest, and it is not a problem to directly face it. What kind of tactics do you need with such strength? What else to consume slowly?

Rowan looked at the dense swarm of insects, slightly inflated, and his style gradually approached what he hated at the beginning.

The army of one million marched forward. Although the bugs were small in size, they still had the feeling of covering the sky and the sun. If it is a patient with intensive phobia, it is estimated that this kind of scene cannot be appreciated.

All kinds of insects encountered on the road have become military rations. Even grasshoppers with strong mobility are not enough to see in front of transport insects. Not to mention the black beetle and the like, the "God of War" who was amazed by Rowan at the beginning could not even bubble up in front of an army of millions.

Even a red ant hunting team with a large number of members, in front of the army, is barely at the level of bubbling ~www.novelmt.com~ Sure enough, this is the way the swarm should fight. "Rowan looked at the push all the way, and sighed at the invincible army.

Unfortunately, no one saw him pretending to be.

Rowan saw the rebuilt "crater" from a distance, and immediately ordered the army to speed up and surround it.

At this time, the door of the house was suddenly surrounded by an army of millions, and the red ants were a little stunned, and retreated to the "crater" near the crater.

After a while, several squads rushed out from the entrance of the cave, and Rowan ordered the army to make way for the squads to leave.

Because he already knows the purpose of these teams, the communication method of pheromone is not good at all, and all the information carried is pasted on his body. Anyone who cracks the encryption can see what's written in the message.

These teams went out to ask for help, and Luo Wen wished that they would call back all the hunting teams, which would save him a lot of time, otherwise he would have to go back and pay those guys.

The red and black ants in the ant nest couldn't hide, and Rowan was not very good at directly sending a team to rush in. The inside of the hole was winding and winding, and the situation was complicated.

The most important thing is that the troops could not be deployed. He used the tactic of closing the door and hitting dogs to kill a lot of enemy troops. With this foreshadowing, he would not rush forward rashly.

After thinking for a while, he crossed the encirclement and stepped forward. The digging feet stretched forward, and the eight feet steadied their bodies. They skillfully pushed the crater to the crater, and the collapsed soil buried the hole.

This is the second time he has done it, and he is already familiar with it.

Filling the hole to death, he doesn't believe that the ants inside will not come out. Although their oxygen supply system makes it difficult for them to be suffocated to death, difficulty does not mean that they cannot be suffocated to death.

The soldiers who just asked for reinforcements have already been released, and there is nothing to do at this time, so it is just here to surround the point for reinforcements.
