Following the warning sound issued by the scouts who escaped from the front of other legions, other pavement ants foraging outside soon heard the warning and learned about the enemy's invasion. They quickly gathered at the entrance of the occupied secondary nest. Prepare to cover the main force to leave the nest so that they can fight to the death with the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force on the ground.
The protagonist didn't know how long the legion he led had been marching under shrubs and weeds. No matter whether they encountered rocks or ravines, the ants struggled to climb over them, trying hard to maintain the already chaotic front line as much as possible without breaking.
Finally, the vision suddenly became clear.
Each ant nest will be surrounded by a large circle of empty, barren land, and the protagonist's Legion of God's Envoy King finally walked out of the lush grass.
A battlefield that has already started fiercely appears in front of the protagonist. The protagonist appears in the southwest of the sub-nest occupied by the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army. Directly south of the sub-nest, several vanguard legions in the originally protruding part of the front line had long been in close combat with the pavement ant barbarian army that was gathering at the entrance of the sub-nest.
Due to defense needs, these military sub-nests that are fought over again and again every year have only one entrance and exit. The pavement ant warriors on the ground who had retreated to the exit of the secondary nest, together with their companions who had just emerged from the cave, formed a thin but tight front line, and were struggling to resist the attack of the big-headed ant army.
These pavement ant warriors are only 3-4 millimeters long, and there are no specialized soldier ants. Compared with the soldier ants in the army of Big-headed ants, which are 5-6 mm in length, they are dwarfs, barely the same size as the workers of Big-headed ants. Even though they were at a disadvantage in terms of size, and even though the main force of the army had not yet left the nest and completed its deployment, these pavement ants still formed a front line as if they were dead, and were entangled with the first batch of big-headed ant troops to prevent them from getting closer to the entrance of the cave.
The protagonist can see that although the legions of the big-headed ant army that have been fighting have a numerical advantage, there are not many ants on the front line that can fight directly with the pavement ants. Many ants in the rear cannot squeeze into the front line and can only crawl around anxiously. . Instead, the pavement ants used their continuous sacrifices to temporarily stabilize the front.
The legions of big-headed ants on both sides continued to advance into the open space and surrounded the entrance of the sub-nest. The army of pavement ants that kept coming out of the sub-nest also continued to extend, under the command of their king, along the sub-nest. A circular defensive circle was arranged at the entrance.
The Big-headed Ant army has a numerical advantage, but when the battle line is too short, it cannot invest superior forces to quickly resolve the battle. Fortunately, Big-headed Ant's soldier ants have a single combat advantage and can often break through a small section of the defense line, but these soldier ants also quickly attract more pavement ants to besiege her.
Seeing that this war is about to turn into a war of attrition, according to past practice, only by consuming almost all of the pavement ant army in this nest can they break through the defense line and enter the sub-nest.
The protagonist can even see the newly emerged pavement ant army from a distance. They no longer need to fill the gaps in the circular defense circle, but can form a reserve team inside the circle. Under the command of some kings with a body length of about 6mm, Be ready to jump in when a breach needs to be filled.
Neither the protagonist's Divine Envoy Army nor the public security army nearby were able to squeeze into the fighting circle, so they had to watch the fierce fighting between the friendly forces inside from a distance.
The protagonist climbs onto a larger boulder in the clearing to gain a clearer view. He sent another messenger to ask the police what they should do now.
The public security officer's reply was: wait at the back until the friendly troops in front suffer too many casualties before stepping forward to take over the front line.
"Fuck!" The protagonist couldn't help but uttered a curse word. Such a huge military advantage was commanded by you stupid ants like this. Both sides are trying to consume the lives of the soldier ants and worker ants. Let's see who can't hold on first. Just live.
The protagonist has an idea to break the deadlock, but it has not been tested and the protagonist has little confidence in this method. And the most important thing is that the protagonist has always wanted to play soy sauce for his own safety. Anyway, the one who wins in the end will be the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force, so he cannot take this risk.
Thinking of this, the protagonist gave up his somewhat risky strategy. Friendly forces basically cannot rely on this strategy. After all, there is no unified command, and the king commanders of each legion are all stubborn and will not take the initiative to cooperate.
The protagonist had no choice but to continue watching this extremely brutal fighting as if it were a war movie.
Just one meter away, countless big-headed ants and pavement ants were engaged in a selfless and fierce fight. Because the ants on the front line are too dense, both the big-headed ants and the pavement ants can only squeeze together shoulder to shoulder with their comrades, fighting with the enemy directly opposite with the big claws on their upper jaws. This is also the only thing that the two ants have. Weapons, unlike some ants that have stingers or venom.
The worker ants of pavement ants and big-headed ants are of similar size. The large claws of both sides bite each other. It is very difficult to pierce the head protected by the thick carapace of the other side. Generally, it is a one-on-one duel for a long time, and the final physical condition The weaker one will be defeated, and the opponent will twist the slender neck behind the head, and the head will be cut off bit by bit. However, this kind of duel takes a long time, and often the winner is not decided for half an hour. The winner is usually exhausted, and is easily killed by the enemy troops coming up from the opposite side.
The soldier ants of the big-headed ants have the combat power to crush them in a duel. They can usually easily crush the heads of the short pavement ants on the opposite side with their extremely developed and sharp mandibles, and then move their front line slightly forward. a little. However, when faced with an attack by big-headed soldier ants, a small group of five or six pavement ants often come to fight. They send these soldier ants across the battle line, and then other companions fill the vacant battle line to prevent the gap from being expanded and broken through. Then these teams swarmed up to deal with the soldier ants of the big-headed ants: some pavement ants sacrificed themselves to fight frontally, gaining precious time for their comrades to bite the joints, soft abdomen, and even the waist and neck of the soldier ants. Department and other weaknesses. By sacrificing a few pavement ants, the remaining pavement ants were able to successfully dismember the big-headed soldier ant.
This is what makes the protagonist speechless the most. These big-headed soldier ants are obviously powerful individually, but they are evenly distributed across the entire front, without concentrating their efforts to break through. In the end, they are scattered and eliminated one by one. This group of big-headed ant commanders can't even concentrate their superior forces. On the contrary, the pavement ants' team tactics against the big-headed ant soldiers are more advanced.
But no matter what, relying on the combat effectiveness advantage of the soldier ants in the big-headed ant army, they can usually pull two or three backers before they die, and the worker ants are often exchanged on a one-for-one basis. In this way, the losses of the big-headed ant army were still less than those of the pavement ant barbarians, and the battle line slowly but firmly advanced towards the entrance of the secondary nest.
The protagonist calculated that in three hours from three o'clock to about six o'clock at sunset, the battle line advanced about three meters, and it was still less than two meters away from the entrance to the sub-nest...
