I Am the Swarm

Rowan struggled to create such a situation of fighting more with less, not for a fair duel with the big-headed ant.

The army of more than 2 million insect swarms VS the army of 500,000 big-headed ants.

Therefore, the actual situation is that the super giants on the side of the big-headed ants face at least three opponents of the same level.

This is also because there are only 200 super giants in the swarm, not because Rowan doesn't want to bring more. But the growth cycle of these big guys is too long.

Moreover, including giant soldier ants, these are all new templates. Before obtaining them, the more than 2,000 queens that already existed were not qualified to produce them.

These two hundred super giants and five hundred giants were produced by working overtime after the mother hive completed the production task of five hundred queen ants. After being cultivated to pupae, it was sent to the frontline station, where it continued to grow to its current size.

Therefore, the number of super giants and giants in a single round, the swarm is probably not as large as the large head ants.

However, these disadvantages can be avoided using tactics, such as the present.

The giant combat units on both sides stood together at the first moment of the battle, and the small combat units on their backs used their bodies as a bridge to attack each other.

It's a pity that the single unit combat power of the large-headed ants is lower than that of the same specification of the insect swarm, and it is at an absolute disadvantage in number. More importantly, the small soldier ants on the insect swarm can even be poisoned!

Perhaps the body size and muscles were selected during evolution, and there are no poisonous species among the troops of the big-headed ant.

It is said that they have rich experience in fighting red ants, and should not be afraid of this poisonous small soldier ant. However, don't forget that red ants can have no equivalent giant arms.

These big guys are like aircraft carrier formations. They never fight alone. They are accompanied by some soldier ants and worker ants all the time. Therefore, when fighting against red ants, those red ants with stingers will be consciously blocked by other ants most of the time. It is impossible to approach these giant combat units, let alone poison them.

But now, they finally tasted the horror of these stings.

Under the absolute numerical disadvantage, the auxiliary ants around the giant ants are simply unable to intercept the soldier ants with tiny stingers on their butts. Can only watch these guys insert stingers into the gaps in the armor of the super giants.

What's more embarrassing is that although these stinging needles can penetrate the gaps in the supergiant's carapaces, but because they are too short, they get stuck in the thick gaps and cannot touch the internal muscles at all.

This can be regarded as a hidden advantage of the huge size.

However, although the carapace can ignore these stinging needles, although their arthropods are also very thick, the armor on them is not so thick.

Under the cover of their companions, a few stinging soldier ants quickly climbed up the arthropods of the supergiants. Although the supergiants resisted, the fast-moving arthropods kicked a few soldier ants away, but they could not change the way they were about to face. correct.

The stinger pierces, the venom is injected, and in just a few moments, the muscles at these weakly armored joints begin to melt. The huge bodies of the supergiants began to stand unsteadily, and their legs began to twitch.

Although they are still at a disadvantage, they are still resisting, but they have lost their ability to move, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened. Taken by the swarm super giant, you can quickly control it, kill and dismember it.

And the death of these giant combat units in front of them made the big-headed ants around them seem to have lost their backbone, their fighting spirit dissipated, and they were losing ground.

On the other side, the two giant scorpions won't have so much trouble dealing with these super giants. When the supergiants were holding each other and couldn't move, they clamped the huge "pliers" to the relatively thin waist of the supergiants. Ignoring the attacks of the auxiliary troops lying on the top, with such a force, the juice instantly flowed, and the super giant was divided into two sections, which was very efficient.

And their shortcomings are also obvious. Although the pair of large "pliers" have extremely strong attack power, they are good at attacking large combat units. But in the face of a small and flexible target, there is no good way, and it seems very clumsy.

In fact, those super giants are also facing such an embarrassing situation.

Through this actual battle, Rowan understood.

The target of these supergiants is large prey. Without the means of poisoning, the huge jaws possessed by supergiants can kill and cut the prey more easily.

And in the face of small prey, they are not used at all. Their attacking weapons are on the head and are more clumsy to use than the scorpion's "pincers". Without the help of small arms, it is still very difficult for them to kill small prey alone.

So, in fact, these supergiants have very limited uses.

Just like now, after all the super giants on the big-headed ant side have been eliminated. The speed at which the super giants of the swarm kill small combat units is not known by many levels compared to the transport insects that are also large combat units. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The strong and powerful legs of the transport worms are as fast as lightning when attacking, and with their good dynamic vision, it is almost a hundred shots, and the probability of being killed in one hit is extremely high. And even if there is no one blow to kill the enemy, the sticky hairs on their claws will take them back and bite them to death, and the killing efficiency is amazing.

However, they are somewhat ineffective against large combat units.

However, after all, large combat units are scarce in number, and in general, transport bugs are more cost-effective.

As the saying goes, practice brings true knowledge.

This actual battle has been a good test. At present, the advantages and disadvantages of the existing arms in the swarm have also given Rowan some new understanding of the fighting mode of the swarm.

Which ones are suitable for the development of the swarm, which ones should be eliminated, and whether certain improvements can be made, he has a spectrum in his mind. For example, a supergiant might be a good fit for the big-headed ant survival model, but not for a swarm.

"However, maybe adding sticky hairs to their arthropods can improve their weak state when facing small units." Although the cost-effectiveness of super giants is too low, Rowan still prefers their mighty and domineering shapes. I liked it very much, and he thought that maybe it could be improved a little and then produced in small quantities.

While thinking about the problem, Rowan did not forget to observe the situation on the battlefield.

At this time, due to the death and injury of the giant unit on the big-headed ant side, the encirclement quickly shrank. The soldier ants climbed onto the heads of the supergiants and sprayed formic acid solution towards the center of the battlefield.

"Well, I found another super-giant function, which can serve as the base of the fort." Rowan complained.

After releasing the stock, the worker ants jumped to the ground, gathered the spoils behind the encirclement, and made up for those big-headed ants that were not completely dead.
