I Am the Swarm

Rowan took great pains to create this kind of situation where the more fights the less, not for a fair duel with the big-headed ants.

An army of more than 2 million worms VS 500,000 troops of big-headed ants.

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

This is because the swarm only has 200 super giants, not because Rowan doesn't want to bring more. It's that 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 queen ants that already existed were not qualified to produce them.

These two hundred super giants and five hundred giant ones were produced after the mother nest completed the production task of five hundred queen ants, and worked overtime to produce them. After being cultivated to pupation, they were sent to the frontline station, where they continued to grow to their current size.

Therefore, the number of super giants and giants in a single round is probably not as large as the number of big-headed ants.

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

The giant combat units of the two sides joined together as soon as they fought, and the small combat units on their backs used their bodies as bridges to attack each other.

It's a pity that the individual combat power of the big-headed ants' units is lower than that of the same-sized units of the swarm, and they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. What's more, the small soldier ants on the swarm's side can even poison!

Perhaps because of the choice of body shape and muscle during evolution, there are no poisonous species among the big-headed ants.

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

These big guys are like an aircraft carrier formation, they never fight alone, and they are always accompanied by some soldier ants and worker ants to assist them. 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 get close to these giant combat units, let alone poison them.

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

Under the absolute numerical disadvantage, the auxiliary ants around the super-giant body of the big-headed ant were completely powerless to intercept those soldier ants with tiny stingers on their buttocks. I can only watch these guys insert their stingers into the gaps in the super giants' armor.

What's more embarrassing is that although these stingers can penetrate the gaps in the super giant's carapace, 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 being huge.

However, even though the carapace could ignore these stingers, although their jointed limbs were also very thick, the armor on them wasn't that thick.

Under the cover of their companions, a few stinging soldier ants quickly climbed up the jointed limbs of the super giants. Although the super giants resisted and kicked a few soldier ants away with their fast bouncing joints, it did not change the situation they were about to face. Yes.

The stinger pierces, the venom injects, and in just a moment, the muscles in these weakly armored joints begin to melt. The huge bodies of the super giants began to stand unsteadily, and their legs began to twitch.

Although they were already at a disadvantage, they were still trying their best to resist, but they lost their ability to move, and their combat effectiveness was greatly weakened. It was quickly controlled, killed, and dismembered by the giant swarm of insects at the right time.

And the death of these giant combat units in the front made the big-headed ants supporting them seem to lose their backbone, their fighting spirit dissipated, and they retreated steadily.

On the other side, the two giant scorpions will not be so troublesome to deal with these super giants. The two of them clamped the huge "claws" on the relatively thin waist of the super giants while the super giants were holding each other and could not move. Ignoring the attacks of the auxiliary units lying on it, with such a forceful clamp, the juice flowed across the moment, and the super giant was divided into two sections, which was very efficient.

And their shortcomings are also obvious. Although the pair of big "pincers" are extremely powerful, they are good at attacking large combat units. But in the face of flexible and small targets, there is no good way, and it seems very clumsy.

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

Through this actual battle, Luo Wen understood it.

The targets of these super giants are large prey. In the absence of poisoning methods, the huge jaws of the super giants can kill and cut the prey more easily.

And when dealing with small prey, they are not used at all. Their attacking weapons are located on the head and are more clumsy to use than the giant scorpion's "claws". Without the help of small arms, it would be very difficult for them to kill small prey alone.

So, in fact, the use of these super giants is very limited.

Just like now, after all the super giants on the big-headed ant's side were resolved. The speed at which the giants of the swarm can kill small combat units is not known to be as efficient as the transport worms, which are also large combat units.

The strong and powerful legs of the transport bugs are as fast as lightning when attacking. With their good dynamic vision, they can hit a hundred shots with a high probability of killing them in one blow. And even if the enemy is not killed with a single blow, the sticky hairs on their claws will catch them back and bite them to death, and the efficiency of killing the enemy is amazing.

However, they are somewhat weak against large combat units.

However, large combat units are rare after all, and overall, it is more cost-effective to transport bugs.

As the saying goes, true knowledge comes from practice.

This actual battle was a good test. The current advantages and disadvantages of the existing arms in the swarm also gave Rowan a new understanding of the swarm's combat mode.

Which ones are suitable for the development of the insect swarm, which ones should be eliminated, and whether some improvements can be made, he has a spectrum in his mind. For example, super giants may be very suitable for the survival mode of big-headed ants, but they are not suitable for swarms.

"However, maybe adding sticky hairs to their joint limbs may improve their powerlessness when facing small units." Although the price-performance ratio of super giants is too low, for their mighty and domineering shapes, Rowan still favors them. Like it very much, he thought that maybe he could improve it a little and produce some in small quantities.

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

At this time, due to the fact that the huge units on the big-headed ants' side were completely killed or injured, the encirclement circle shrunk rapidly. The soldier ants climbed onto the heads of the giants and sprayed formic acid solution towards the center of the battlefield.

"Well, I discovered another function of super giants, which can be used as the base of the fort." Rowan complained.

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