I Am the Swarm

Chapter 74: under the march

The battle was won, and the army divided several teams to go out to clean up the hunting team outside the red ants.

A week later, the teams returned one after another with their spoils, and the territory of this red ant officially changed hands.

More than 200 of the 500 ant queens who accompanied the army set off successively with their guards assigned to them to build branch bases at the locations assigned to them. The rest, except for a dozen or so, only acted as commanders, most of them stayed at the garrison point and were responsible for replenishing troops to the front line according to the situation.

After that, the army repaired for another day. After a full meal, half of the remaining spoils were loaded into the transport bug, and then set off.

During this period of time, I haven't encountered the scouts sent by the big-headed ants here. It seems that they also develop animal husbandry, but it is just a free-range way. Whenever the red ant nest develops to a certain size, they come to harvest a wave.

According to Rowan's observation, there are at least eleven ant nests around the big-headed ant territory. If these are all their free-range food, then this is much easier than Rowan's painstaking efforts to raise aphids.

However, this method is only suitable for ant species like the big-headed ant that have little desire to expand their territory. Although Rowan is somewhat envious, this method is not suitable for him.

This time, the swarm did not choose to march quickly. There is too little information about the big-headed ants. Their behavior patterns and how many troops are hidden in the ant nest are unknown.

But judging from the fact that they can suppress more than ten ant nests around them, their strength is quite terrifying.

To deal with them, of course, like dealing with red ants, you can't directly block the door of people's houses and beat the dogs. It is still necessary to adopt the old tactics, use the advantage of vision, constantly nibble away their vitality, and then slowly find out their realities.

And the first target, Rowan had a choice in mind, and that was the teams who came out to cut leaves.

Relying on his fast moving speed, Rowan went out for a circle by himself. Soon, he found a "green-leafed creek" in the northwest of the big-headed ant nest.

The swarm then turned around, ran west for a distance, and then went straight to the north.

The flowing "green stream" was happily carrying leaves when it was suddenly intercepted by a sudden army, and the worker ants in the direction of the big-headed ant's nest fled to the old nest in a panic.

Rowan didn't pursue him, how could he lead the snake out of the hole without a bug to report.

At the same time, he didn't send troops to the big tree in the back to clean up the worker ants there. Anyway, those worker ants would have to return to the nest sooner or later. As long as the place was blocked, they would come to the door by themselves.

The army set up a 20-meter long snake formation, with giant scorpions, super giants, and giant soldier ants taking the lead. Small-sized soldier ants crawled on and around them to help them defend.

There is a row of transport bugs standing behind them. These guys can use their long-legged piercing attacks to provide some medium-range fire support to the front row. The rest of the transport worms are distributed on the flanks and rear, defending against raids from these directions.

In the middle is a mixed position of soldier ants and worker ants. While the worker ants provide long-range support, they also need to bring the corpses of both sides damaged by the frontline back to the rear in time to prevent them from being acquired by the other side.

As for Rowan, although he has the tallest physique and the highest combat power. But he did not intend to fight on the front line, and the intensity of the battle for a while was unknown. If the large-headed ant's army is unexpectedly large, it only takes a few super giants to surround him, and his life can be threatened.

Therefore, as the highest wisdom of the insect swarm, he chose to sit in the center of the army formation, supporting himself with eight long legs and erecting himself high. Take advantage of good vision to command the swarm to fight from time to time.

Time passed quietly, and the black insect swarm army was like a sculpture. While lying on the ground to save physical strength, it did not make any noise, showing good military literacy.

On the contrary, Rowan was a little impatient to wait, but he had already learned about the efficiency of pheromone transmission, so he could only wait patiently.

In the distance, there were finally some large-headed ant troops scattered in the distance, but the number was very small. At a rough glance, the number was less than 10,000, and there were not even super giants.

It seems that the big-headed ants are used to being comfortable in this area, and have not realized what opponent they are facing now.

Rowan's black worm face was wrapped in chitin armor, making it difficult for him to make any expressions. But he still tried to put on a sullen face at this time.

His tentacles swayed from side to side, and the orders were conveyed layer by layer.

When the big-headed ant army was just approaching the front of the insect swarm array, the supergiant in the front made a neigh and took the lead in a charge, followed by a small group of troops next to it.

The battle soon ended. After the large-headed ants left thousands of corpses, the remaining ants hurriedly fled under the intentional release of water by the swarm.

The swarm of worker ants stepped forward and quickly finished cleaning the battlefield, and the army returned to silence.

After this defeat, the big-headed ants finally realized that the opponent this time was not the familiar red-black ant mixed army.

It is a strange, more powerful opponent.

Thus, urgent war mobilization began.

Thanks to their small territory, most of their troops are hidden in ant nests. In a short period of time, the big-headed ants assembled a vanguard force of more than 500,000 troops and rushed over~www.novelmt.com~ Behind them, a steady stream of reinforcements continued to climb out of the ant nest. , coming to the front.

It is impossible for Rowan to give them the opportunity and time to gather. The purpose here is to continuously attract the living power of the big-headed ants, and then continue to eat them away.

It is best to continuously increase the number of 10,000, 20,000, and 50,000.

But Big Head Ant did not follow Rowan's script at all. After sending a small wave of troops, he directly raised the threat level of the swarm to the highest level.

However, although there were some unexpected violent reactions from the big-headed ants, Rowan would not change his tactics because of this.

Just the front, who is afraid of whom? Today's swarm also has enough confidence.

When the vanguard of the big-headed ants had just arrived on the battlefield, they had not yet had the slightest rest.

Rowan's order was issued, and the long snake formation was overwhelmed as a whole. The Chinese army instantly facilitated the enemy's contact and started a fierce battle.

The two wings of the battle formation began to encircle, taking advantage of the number of troops to create a situation of fighting more with less.

Taking advantage of the gap when the follow-up troops of the big-headed ants did not keep up in time, they first ate their 500,000 pioneer troops.

Due to the tight time, the two sides did not have any temptation, and the war entered a white-hot stage in an instant.

The big-headed ant's tactic is still that the giant unit acts as a tank, responsible for attacking and breaking up the enemy formation. Small and medium units cover its back and sides.

It's a pity that when faced with red and black ants, this kind of ant species without giant combat units, the tried-and-true tactics have now encountered opponents.

The giant units of the insect swarm also brought a lot of arms this time, and the tactics are also the same. In an instant, they all found their opponents.
