I Am the Swarm

You come and go on both sides of the battlefield. What surprised Rowan is that although the mixed army of Red Ants has been replenished by a steady stream of reinforcements, they are still being beaten and retreated.

Soldier ants in the new species of ants have big heads, so let's call them big-headed ants for now.

Compared with the reckless players like the Red and Black Alliance, the big-headed ants are more tactical.

Their various types of soldier ants are covered with large and small worker ants to defend the backs of the soldier ants, which is a bit like a step-tank collaboration.

Whenever a red ant approaches the soldier ants, these worker ants will rush down several entanglement red ants from the back of the soldier ants, and the soldier ants will look for an opportunity to kill them with one blow.

Solved the poisoning player like red ants, it is difficult to threaten the soldier ants with the weapons and equipment of black ants alone. The soldier ant's Eya, which grows with its size, can easily get rid of the black ants.

Although the troops on both sides were about the same, the main arm of one party was restrained by tactics, and it was almost impossible to rely on auxiliary worker ants to win.

As expected, the direction of the war was as predicted by Rowan;

Faced with such a situation, the big-headed ants were not eager for quick success, and they were still fighting steadily and advancing slowly.

This battle has been going on for two days, and the battlefield has changed several times. Most of them ended with the red ants losing tens of thousands of corpses and retreating. There was only one time when the Red Ants attacked a small group of Big Head Ants and won the battle with absolute numbers.

But for some unknown reason, while cleaning the battlefield, many corpses of soldier ants were inexplicably lost. Especially the corpses of the two super-giant soldier ants, not a single one was left.

The lost wreckage was naturally taken away by Luo Wenshun, who disguised himself as a stone and approached the battlefield. After picking and choosing, put the harvest on his back, and then leave the battlefield between the eight long legs, which can be said to come and go without a trace.

This super-giant soldier ant can grow to such a large size using the ant template. It must have its uniqueness. Now that the gene is in hand, I will study it later when I have time.

He is not in a hurry to go back to the mother's nest right now. He needs to first figure out where the newly emerged big-headed ant came from.

Three days later, after the red ants lost more than 100,000 troops one after another, they refused to retreat despite their high fighting spirit. But the big-headed ant already felt that the harvest was full, and the loot obtained by fighting again would have no troops to transport.

Therefore, it was very abrupt. When the red ants gathered a large wave of troops and planned to find the big-headed ants for a decisive battle, they found that the opponent had disappeared.

Red Ant didn't know what was going on, but Luo Wen, who had been keeping an eye on the battlefield, was not negligent. The army of hundreds of thousands of big-headed ants retreated with the spoils, which was considered a large-scale operation.

Without cover, it is impossible to escape Rowan's long-distance monitoring.

The way they return is somewhat similar to that of the swarm. Various types of soldier ants and some large and medium-sized workers act as transport vehicles, while the worker ants of the following types climb on their backs, saving physical energy and at the same time. By the way, help fix the loot.

Just the synergy of the step-tank and the current transportation mode that they showed before, the big-headed ant is a lot more advanced than other ant species.

The speed of the big-headed ants' return journey was unexpectedly fast, because they had already returned to the nest after only traveling less than two kilometers.

This made Rowan quite astonished, knowing that the swarm can now control a site with a radius of more than ten kilometers. And the ant nests that can dispatch so many large combat units, even if they are not comparable to the swarm, the area they control should not be so small.

"Could it be that the territorial distance in other directions is longer?" Rowan then shook his head. According to his contact with these ant species, their territorial range should be radiated evenly around.

If no special factors interfere, their nests should be in the very center of the territory.

And there are many special factors, such as there are obstacles that cannot be crossed in one direction, such as rivers, cliffs, etc. Another example is the continued disappearance of scouts in a certain direction...

"Could it be because of the red ant nest?" However, Rowan immediately rejected the idea. With the combat power shown by the big-headed ant army, if they really want to expand, the red ant nest can't stop them at all.

Rowan shook his head, giving up and continuing to think. Too little information is available to analyze much. And until the red ant nest between the two is resolved, the two sides cannot conflict.

Therefore, he still has plenty of time. When he observes the big-headed ant again, and obtains more information, he will naturally be able to analyze something.

The ant nest of the big-headed ant is also different from other ant species, and Luo Wen was very surprised when he saw it at the beginning.

It was a small mound covering an area of ​​20 to 30 square meters. There was a circle of holes in the middle of the mound, and there were very obvious stamping marks in front of each exit door.

And the army of hundreds of thousands of big-headed ants tracked by Rowan was divided into several teams and entered the nest through several adjacent holes with loot. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

If it was just like that, it would only have a few more exits than other ant nests.

In addition to these passage openings, on the top of this small mound, there are also many small bumps densely built, with holes in the middle of the bumps, which are shaped like small chimneys.

And there are no traces of trampling around these "chimneys", which are obviously not entrances and exits. However, ants are pragmatists and will never make useless decorations, and these "chimneys" must have their special role.

But what was it for? Rowan could only sigh. If he was still petite as before, he could easily sneak in to see what happened.

However, Rowan has no regrets. With his current size, there are very few things that can threaten his life. Compared with his own life, everything else is secondary.

You can't see it just by looking at it, and you can't even sneak in. It's a waste of time to stay here.

Glancing at those "chimneys" again, pressing the curiosity in his heart, Rowan turned around and ran in other directions.

Rowan had just eaten some high-protein food, so he was very fast. In just one day, he walked around the big-headed ant nest.

The strange thing is that the territory of the big-headed ant is really not big.

In other directions, Rowan also found traces of the activity of other ants in other nests about two kilometers away.

This is very easy to distinguish from the pheromone. Rowan found at least eleven pheromone residues with different identities on the border of the two-kilometer circle centered on the big-headed ant nest.

This shows that the big-headed ant has the same custom as other ant species, and the nest is placed in the most central position of the territory.

But this is strange. With such a small territory, how can you support such a huge base of troops?
