I Am the Swarm

After the battle was won, the army sent out several teams to wipe out the hunting team outside the red ants.

A week passed, and the team returned with their trophies one after another, and the territory of the red ants officially changed hands.

More than 200 of the 500 queen ants that accompanied the army set off one after another with the guards assigned to them, and went to the locations assigned to them to build branch bases. Except for a dozen or so who only served as commanders, most of the rest stayed at the garrison point and were responsible for replenishing troops to the front line according to the situation.

Afterwards, the army rested for another day, and after a hearty meal, half of the remaining spoils were loaded onto transport bugs, and then set off.

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

According to Rowan's observation, there are at least eleven ant nests around the big-headed ant's territory. If these are all free-range food for them, it is much easier than Rowan's effort to raise aphids.

However, this method is only suitable for the big-headed ants, which have little desire to expand their territories. Although Luo Wen was a little envious, this method didn't suit him.

This time the swarm did not choose to march in a hurry. 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 a dozen surrounding ant nests, their strength is quite terrifying.

To deal with them, naturally, we can't just block the door of other people's houses and beat dogs like we deal with red ants. We still have to adopt the old tactics, take advantage of the field of vision, constantly erode their vitality, and then slowly find out their reality.

As for the first target, Luo Wen had a choice in mind, and that was the teams that came out to cut the leaves.

Relying on his fast moving speed, Luo Wen went out and circled alone. Soon, he found a "green leaf creek" in the northwest direction of the big-headed ant's nest.

The swarm immediately turned around, first ran west for a certain distance, and then went all the way to the north.

The flowing "green creek" was happily carrying leaves, but was suddenly stopped by an army that suddenly appeared, and the worker ants in the direction of the big-headed ant nest panicked and fled to the old nest.

Luo Wen didn't pursue, and there was no bug to report how to lead the snake out of the hole.

At the same time, he didn't send troops to clear the worker ants in the direction of the big tree in the back. Anyway, those worker ants will return to their nests sooner or later. As long as they block this place, they will come to the door by themselves sooner or later.

The army set up a 20-meter-long snake array, with giant scorpions, super giants, and giant soldier ants leading the charge. Smaller soldier ants crawled on and around them to help them defend.

There is a row of transport bugs behind them. These guys can use their long-legged piercing attacks to provide some medium-range fire support to the front row. The remaining transport bugs are distributed on the wings and rear, defending against surprise attacks 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 back the corpses of both sides damaged in the front line in time to avoid being captured by the other party.

As for Rowan, although he is the tallest and has the highest combat power. But he didn't intend to fight on the front line, and the intensity of the battle for a while was unknown. If the strength of the big-headed ants is unexpectedly large, it only takes a few super giants to surround him, and it can threaten his life.

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

Time passed quietly, and the black army of insects was like a sculpture. While lying on the ground to preserve their strength, they did not make any noise, showing good military qualities.

On the contrary, Rowan got a little impatient waiting, but he had already experienced the efficiency of pheromone in transmitting messages, so he could only wait patiently.

Scattered in the distance, some big-headed ants finally appeared, but the number was very small. At a glance, the number was less than 10,000, not even a super giant.

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

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

His tentacles swayed from side to side, conveying orders layer by layer.

When the big-headed ant army was just approaching the front of the swarm formation, the super giant in the front let out a burst of neighing, and took the lead in charging, followed by a small group of troops beside it.

The battle ended quickly, and after the big-headed ants dropped thousands of corpses, the remaining ants fled in a hurry under the deliberate release of water by the swarm.

The worker ants of the swarm came forward and quickly cleaned the battlefield, and the army returned to silence.

After this failure, the big-headed ants finally realized that their opponent this time was not the mixed army of red and black ants they were familiar with.

But a strange, more powerful opponent.

Thus, urgent war mobilization began.

Thanks to their small territory, most of their troops are hidden in the ant nest. In a very short period of time, the big-headed ants assembled a vanguard force of more than half a million troops and rushed over.

Behind them, there is a steady stream of reinforcements crawling out of the ant nest and rushing towards the front line.

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

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

But the big-headed ants did not follow the script conceived by Luo Wen at all. After sending a small wave of troops, they directly raised the threat level of the swarm to the highest level.

However, even though he was a little surprised by the violent reaction of the big-headed ants, Rowan would not change his tactics because of this.

It's just positive, who is afraid of whom? Today's bug swarm also has enough confidence.

When the vanguard of the big-headed ants had just arrived on the battlefield, they hadn't rested at all.

The order from Luo Wen's side was issued, and the long snake formation was pressed up as a whole, and the Chinese army instantly facilitated the enemy's contact, and a fierce battle began.

The two wings of the battle formation began to encircle, taking advantage of the superiority in the number of troops to create a situation in which fewer troops fought more.

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

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

The tactics of the big-headed ants are still that the giant units act as tanks, responsible for attacking fortifications and breaking up the enemy formation. Small and medium units take cover on its back and sides.

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

The swarm also brought a lot of giant units this time, and the tactics were similar, super giant vs super giant, giant vs giant, small and medium vs small and medium. In an instant, they all found their opponents.
