I Am the Swarm

Chapter 73: on the march

Every day the army is stationed, it consumes an extra day of supplies. Although there are still a small number of troops that have not arrived, Rowan has no plans to wait any longer.

The weather was nice and cloudy that day. With the canopy of leaves overhead, it blocked most of the light and heat. It was suitable for a long-distance attack by the army.

Under Rowan's order, more than 6,000 transport worms, loaded with various types of troops and supplies, ran towards the red ant's nest with eight long legs at the same time. The scene was spectacular for a while.

The trees on the side of the road quickly passed out of the corner of his eyes, and Rowan took the lead in running at the front of the team.

At this time, his task is to guide the army. As the insect with the widest range of sight in the swarm, he must be the position to lead the way.

Along the way, the army avoided the prey teams of two red ants.

This time, the quantity and quality of the swarm army completely crushed the red ants, so there is no need to entangle with these small groups of troops on the road. Luo Wen planned to lead the army to attack Huanglong first, take the opponent's nest directly, and then disperse the troops to clear the territory.

As for the two troops just now, let the big guys in the back handle them.

Two hours later, after several rounds of trimming and replenishing food, the army passed through the two-kilometer forest and saw the familiar "crater".

There's nothing to say, it's not just one or two times to destroy the red ant's nest, the army directly surrounded the "crater".

Rowan turned around twice near the entrance of the cave. The fluff of his legs sensed the touch from the ground and found the underground cavity.

After he stretched out his claws and digged his feet into claws, the front part became even sharper. At this time, poking holes in the ground is also more handy.

After opening a few holes in the pipe of the red ant nest, and after releasing several waves of red and black ants that came out to check, the army of insect swarms directly pressed in.

The giant E soldier ants are at the forefront, and the small soldier ants take cover around it. If there are few worms on the opposite side, they will rush to fight meleely, and if there are too many worms on the opposite side, make an opening, and the worker ants in the rear will provide long-range fire support.

The bugs fought steadily. Although they suffered losses, they were all within an acceptable range.

The battle continued until it was dark, mainly because the passage was relatively narrow, the team could not be deployed, and the strength of the troops could not be reflected. In fact, less than one-fifth of the total number of troops rushed into the passage.

Most of the troops were waiting outside, and by the way they cleared the three returning red ant hunting teams.

The battle of 1.8 million VS 120,000 is nothing to say.

Basically, just as the rear army was about to charge, the battle was already over by the front army...

To be honest, even the cleaning of the battlefield takes longer than the battle.

The spoils are collected, and the war of the bugs is like this. The victorious side gets everything. The wreckage of the enemy and friendly forces will all be recycled and become the nutrients for the development and growth of the victor.

According to statistics after the war, the swarm lost about 20,000. The enemy's losses cannot be accurately counted because most of the battlefields are in the channel.

But according to previous experience, there must be 400,000 to 500,000 ants in the nest. Even if he was just cut by the big-headed ant a month ago, and after a month of recuperation, he almost replenished it.

Rowan estimates that at least 400,000 is required.

In addition to the three hunting teams that were destroyed outside, there would be a total of about 450,000.

Just as they were reckoning, a team from a distance slowly approached.

This is a large-scale unit of the swarm, with 200 super giant soldier ants, 500 giant soldier ants and two giant scorpions.

Both types of large soldier ants use the large-headed soldier ant template, with only some minor modifications. Added the ejection start gene to make them more flexible in small-scale maneuvering, and also slightly increased the size of the jaws to slightly increase their attack power.

The two scorpions belong to the experimental arms, due to the addition of some genes to enhance muscles. They are larger than their prototypes, not counting the tail, and their body length is also about forty centimeters.

Since he really couldn't think of their function, Rowan just tried to build two, just so he could test their combat effectiveness through this war with the big-headed ants.

In addition to the super giant soldier ants and scorpions, there are about 10,000 small combat units riding on their backs, responsible for protecting them.

Although these big guys look powerful, their combat effectiveness is reflected in single-dow and group battles. If they were left alone with the red ants' prey team, the poisonous stingers would be enough for them to drink a pot. If you are accidentally surrounded, you might have a life-threatening situation.

Before, because their legs were weak and couldn't keep up with the speed of the transport bugs, they were arranged by Rowan to travel slowly behind.

Anyway, they won't be used in the battle of clearing red ant nests. And the army in front was walking all the way, leaving a lot of pheromone road signs, enough to keep them from getting lost.

When the army marched before, the two red ant hunting teams encountered. Rowan chose to bypass them because he was in a hurry.

However, bypassing them does not mean letting them go.

After crossing them, Rowan left two mobile teams to monitor them~www.novelmt.com~ These teams are specially responsible for tracking, harassing, setting traps, etc. The team not only has conventional arms, but also is equipped with reconnaissance bugs and spies. Insects and other special combat units, even with an ant queen.

The IQ of the queen ant allows this team to perform more complex tasks set by Rowan. The way of fighting is also more flexible and changeable.

After leaving the main force, the two teams ran to the front of the red ant hunting team and arranged many deceptive pheromone beacons.

These beacons kept the Predator circling in a circle without realizing it.

Afterwards, the team gathered the giant unit combat troops that were slowly marching in the rear, and at the same time conveyed Rowan's order.

Rowan looked at the spoils behind these big guys and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that they carried out their orders quite well.

However, the corpses of a few giant soldier ants are a bit dazzling. The red ants do not have such combat units, so their origins can be imagined.

And the lack of half of the **** troops made this operation a bit flawed.

Fortunately, those super giants and giant scorpions did not lose, the battle was won, and the dead ones were brought back.

These big guys are all protein for walking, backup rations for living.

When there is a food crisis in the ant nest, the worker ants will kill these large combat units to replenish food. Therefore, the loss of these big guys is enough for an ordinary ant nest to feel distressed for a long time.

Although Rowan hasn't gotten to this point, he can't stand his stinginess. He regards the swarm as his property, even if it is a small unit, but each of these big guys is cultivated by him with a lot of resources. Whether it is alive or dead, it is not enough to lose one.
