I Am the Swarm

Sure enough, it was right not to have expectations. When Rowan woke up the next day, he didn't find any gains. But for the specifics, you still have to go back to the brood to inquire about it in order to know exactly.

But before that, he still has some post-war work to deal with.

After resting for a day, Luo Wen crossed the border with an army of 300,000 and marched into the territory of the red ants.

In the decisive battle before, the coalition forces were completely wiped out after being surrounded by insect swarms, and no remnants were found along the way. Luo Wenwen thought that receiving the territory of the coalition forces was just a formality.

Unexpectedly, shortly after entering the opponent's territory, they encountered two reorganized troops, with a combined number of about 30,000. They should have gone hunting far away, have just returned, and are planning to support the front line.

It can be considered that they were unlucky, just approaching the border, and just encountered the army of insect swarms head-on.

There is nothing to say, the transport insects lead the soldier ants to divide the battlefield, and it is only a matter of minutes for 300,000 troops to encircle and wipe out 30,000 enemy troops.

Although the red ants accepted the black ants as captives, Rowan did not accept them. These combat units with only basic templates have only one set of identification system, which has too many loopholes. Being recycled into protein is their current best choice.

However, these red and black ant coalition forces are also very backbone, and they have no intention of surrendering at all.

Soon, they became the food reserves of the swarm army, placed on the back of the transport insects.

In the next few days, the scout bugs were released, while Rowan led the army back and forth along the border to investigate and wait here.

The background of the coalition army is very extraordinary, from time to time there are teams coming from afar, the number ranges from a few thousand to tens of thousands, but the most does not exceed 30,000.

But as soon as their figures appeared, they would be spotted by Rowan or the scouting bugs, and then they would be surrounded by a swarm of bugs that were several times their number.

After a fierce battle, he obediently became a food reserve.

In the past few days, there are more than 30 teams that have been wiped out, and the number is close to 500,000. However, they usually appear alone, and the average number of each team is only about 10,000.

Therefore, although there are a large number of them, they only caused less than 10,000 battle damage to the insect swarm.

Luo Wen sighed a little. If the coalition forces pay more attention to logistics supplies and have the ability to wait for a few more days to gather an army of one million, then he will be in some trouble.

A few more days passed, and Luo Wen hadn't encountered the coalition troops who rushed to the front to support them for more than a day.

It seems that their hunting teams in the distance have almost returned, and there is no need to wait here any longer.

As a result, the swarm army finally wanted to march deep into the territory of the coalition forces.

There was little resistance along the way, and it seems that after their nests were stolen, the queens all headed to the front lines. They did not continue to station any troops in the territory, and all active forces were ordered to support the front line.

It's a pity that the communication methods of the bugs are too backward, and they still don't know that the war is over, and they still send a steady stream of heads after several days.

At this moment, Rowan once again desperately wanted to obtain an advanced means of communication. Unfortunately, he still has no idea how to obtain it.

The army marched 500 meters north, and came to the entrance of the volcano-shaped lair. As the old nest of the Red and Black Ant Alliance, it is still submerged in water and has no use value.

Rowan didn't stay long, and continued to sweep across the area, trying to eliminate all hidden dangers.

Until the army continued to search northward along the zigzag route for more than 500 meters, and the army's food reserves had been consumed by less than half, Luo Wen finally confirmed that the site with a radius of 1,000 meters was temporarily safe.

Instead of continuing to investigate with the army, he split the army into two parts.

Part of it is composed of soldier ants, transport insects and a small number of worker ants, with a number of about 70,000 to 80,000. They will carry most of the army's food reserves and continue along this route, all the way north.

These guys have to rely on war to support war, so let them continue to expand their territories.

Later, Luo Wen returned with the remaining 200,000 worker ants. On the way, he divided these worker ants into 50 groups, leaving a group to build a base every time they walked a certain distance.

When he returned to the frontier, he was alone. However, right away he ran into another swarm team.

This team was escorting fifty queens, who were already near the front line. After confirming the safety of the newly occupied area, Rowan sent a messenger back to inform the ant queens to rush to the new territory.

The fifty branch bases built on the road are also prepared for them, and they will be responsible for guarding and developing the territory around the base.

Of course, there are only fifty queen ants in this new territory with a radius of one kilometer, which is not enough. After he returns to the nest, he will continue to hatch some queens. Not only can they come here to fill the blind spots of the fifty bases. It can also be sent to guard at any time, the new territory captured by the northern army.

After arranging the affairs here, the territorial dispute was finally resolved, and Luo Wen returned to the nest at the rear, and continued to be an otaku.

Through the brood query, the red ant queen did not add any new gene fragments to him, and this result did not exceed Rowan's expectations.

However, why the black ants submit to the red ants after the death of the queen, this problem may always exist and cannot be solved.

Fortunately, Rowan is not curious about this, nor does he have a strong desire to acquire this skill. Submissive black ants are not safe to use after all, it is better to turn them into nourishment to provide energy for the queens to lay eggs.

The days are calm again, and the swarm continues to grow steadily. During this period, due to some considerations, Rowan re-established two expeditionary forces.

One is to restore the establishment of the western army. In the early stage of the confrontation with the coalition forces, the troops were seriously insufficient, and the original western army was also called back to support. Now that the war is over, it is natural to restore their establishment and continue their western exploration work.

The other is the newly formed Northwest Army, which is responsible for exploring the blind area between the Western Army and the Northern Army. As the exploration distance of these two armies gradually widens, the blind area between them will gradually increase. It is necessary to form a dedicated army to take charge of this blind spot.

At the same time, the two teams were ordered to send a small team every three days to report the situation. Of course, out of consideration for their IQ, Rowan arranged for each team to accompany an ant queen.

The IQ of the queen ant is obviously higher, at least she can send back some simple messages. As the territory got bigger and bigger, it was no longer possible for Rowan to get news by patrolling the territory by himself like in the beginning.

At the same time, one should not favor the other. After sending away the two teams, another ant queen was arranged to take the transport bug and rush to the northern army as fast as possible to join them.

The bugs have no selfishness, so they should be very happy to accept this airborne commander.
