I Am the Swarm

Chapter 67: under attack

The enemy troops in the ant nest were deceived one after another, and there were tens of thousands of them.

Two hours later, although occasionally sporadic ants crawled out of the hole, Rowan no longer wanted to waste time.

With an order, the big soldier ants took the lead, the small soldier ants assisted, and the worker ants provided long-range fire support. The army was divided into several teams and rushed into the passage.

After so many rounds of tossing in the ant nest, there are not many ants left, and most of them are confused by the spy bugs, and their resistance is weak.

In contrast, the army of the insect swarm is invincible, and a reasonable combination of arms is invincible in the narrow passage.

Two hours later, the ant nest will change owners, and it will be transformed into a swarm base, which will be guarded by an ant queen accompanying the army.

In this battle so far, more than 700,000 enemy troops have been wiped out, and more than 10,000 of various types of troops have been killed in the swarm, most of which were lost in the final passage battle.

The small-sized red ants are very good at using stingers to attack in narrow terrain, and they can often do one-for-one at the limit, causing great casualties to the swarm army.

But this loss is nothing to Rowan, who has 1,500 queens.

After cleaning the battlefield, the relatively well-preserved corpses were collected and buried in a centralized manner to prevent decay and deterioration. The wreckage is recycled into protein for daily consumption by the army.

After the war, after a day's rest, the army was divided into two groups, and the two groups began to clear the remaining enemy troops in this area in different directions. Another was stationed in place, waiting for those hunting teams that were lucky not to be encountered by the surrendered team.

In the next few days, the three teams killed a total of more than 30 hunting teams that returned to the ant nest, almost 400,000. This area was finally completely under Rowan's control.

Afterwards, the 300 ant queens accompanying the army brought the standard 2,000 personal soldiers, the additional 3,000 engineer soldiers, and also divided up a lot of military rations, and then went to their respective territories to guard and develop.

Most of the remaining 900,000 worker ants are transported to other areas by transport bugs.

Of the 1,200 ant queens that had been intensively produced earlier, in addition to the 300 that accompanied the army, there were 900 more after arriving at their respective territories.

Now that the war is over, it is time to replenish their labor force.

Of the nearly 150,000 soldier ants, 50,000 of them were added to the army in the middle route (restructured from the army in the northwest route).

The remaining 100,000 soldier ants, together with a small number of worker ants, reconnaissance worms, transport worms and other auxiliary arms, totaling 120,000 troops, reconstituted the North Road Army and continued to advance along the river bank.

And Rowan also has arrangements, he needs to rush to the West Road army to join them. There was news from there before, but what the messenger expressed was not clear.

It probably means that some abnormal situations or things have been found, and Rowan feels that it is necessary to check it out for himself.

It happened that this place was already busy, and I needed to find something to divert my attention, so as to save myself from thinking about **** myself when I was idle.

As the largest individual in the swarm at present, Rowan's body size makes him unable to travel long distances in a transport worm like other insects, and can only run on his own long legs.

But also because of his size, his running speed is much faster than that of a transporter, and his eight strong legs also give him a good jumping ability. Obstacles such as some small ravines and exposed roots of trees, he can jump over easily, and can't slow his speed in the slightest.

Rowan set off in the morning. Since he was rushing fast, he even checked the development of several branch bases along the way. When he found the West Road army and joined them, the sky was only slightly dark.

After a night's rest, Rowan went to check the abnormal area under the leadership of the Western Army early the next morning.

Since the army encountered this anomaly when the army was marching, the queen ant ordered the army to bypass this area and sent troops to notify Rowan.

Therefore, Rowan's route at this time is going to the back.

After walking about a kilometer to the southeast of the army, he saw the area marked as abnormal.

It is very close to the cliff, and there are many boulders rolling down from the cliff on the ground. They are stacked together, and there are some huge gaps between the stones.

But from the outside, it's just an ordinary pile of stones. Although it occupies a large area, it can't be seen that there is anything abnormal.

At this time, it was the cannon fodder's turn to appear. Rowan's tentacles flicked, and the two transport insects came out more and more, and quickly ran towards the pile of stones.

Their walking feet are the same as those of Rowan. The sticky hairs on their claws allow them to walk on smooth stone surfaces, and their strong limb muscles give them good running speed and jumping ability~www.novelmt.com~ I saw two transport worms crawling fast among the stones, dodging and moving, it seems that they haven't been like this for a long time, they are running without a load, and they are a little excited.

And Rowan also discovered an anomaly at this time. The two Huan transport bugs seemed to disturb the owner here.

In the shadow of the crevice in the rock, several creatures of different sizes slowly crawled out.

They have a slightly lanky, but still strong body. The head, chest and abdomen are connected together. Although there are also segments, they are not different in thickness like ants, and can clearly distinguish the various parts of the body.

There are a total of eight eyes on the head, a pair of slightly larger middle eyes in the center, and three side eyes on each side. The front of the head is slightly flat with no tentacles.

A pair of huge claws protruded from both sides of the head, and the front was open like a pincer. The back of the pincer was attached with huge muscle tissue, which looked very powerful and full of intimidation. Four pairs of walking feet grow behind the claw limbs at a time. Their territory is very low. Although they are not small, they can pass through very low gaps. For example, the stone crevices they just drilled out, although the transport worms are similar in size to them, it is difficult to drill into them.

In addition, they are also covered with thick, pure black chitin armor, which is amazing in defense. And it's all covered with down hair, especially on the pair of claws. Not only is the outer carapace bumpy, but the down hair is several times more than other places.

The most special thing about them is that they have a slender tail that extends from the back of the body. The tail is rolled upside down above the body, and at the bottom of the tail is a hook that radiates cold light.

Rowan was stunned. If it wasn't for the fact that two moons would appear in the sky before night, he would have thought he had returned to Blue Star. Why are these species so similar to Blue Star, and now even "scorpions" have come out.
