The protagonist leads the Angel King's army to bypass the friendly army that came to take over the position, and returns to the preparation area behind to assemble. The protagonist asked each team to count the battle losses, and then summarized them for himself. He found that after a fierce battle that lasted midnight, not a single ant in the Angel King's army was killed, and there were not many injuries, mainly minor injuries. The more seriously injured were a few worker ants, and they might have been broken. If you lose an antenna or a limb, your future life may be affected. These final injuries were sustained during confrontations with pavement ant workers.
But compared to the glorious results of the Divine Envoy King's army, this loss is completely worth mentioning. The protagonist can't even remember how many opposing legions his army has destroyed. Eight? nine? Or ten? He only saw the corpses of pavement ants that the worker ants had moved to the back piled up into a hill. The protagonist himself estimated that the Angel King's army killed at least six to seven thousand Pavement Ant Barbarian Army soldiers, including dozens of Pavement Ant Kings. If the results of other legions are added together, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army has lost 10,000 soldiers in half a day since the battle yesterday afternoon, which can be called a disastrous defeat.
The protagonist analyzed why his simple tactics could achieve such great results. First of all, ants are a typical two-dimensional creature. They are used to moving on a flat surface. Whether it is the ground, stones or plants, ants regard it as a two-dimensional plane (a two-dimensional plane can be imagined as a flat surface). paper), they only pay attention to the movement in the front, back, left, and right on this plane, but ignore the other dimension, that is, above and below. The protagonist's division of labor is extremely clear. After the worker ants have restrained the enemy, the soldier ants climbing on the worker ants' backs are condescending, which is equivalent to launching an attack on the enemy from top to bottom from the third dimension, while the lying pavement ants are His neck was just within the most comfortable attack range of the soldier ants. Three dimensions attack two dimensions. The difference in this dimension brings about an extremely unequal battle loss ratio between the two sides. Of course, the method used by the soldier ants of the Angel King's Legion to understand this three-dimensional tactic also relies on two-dimensional thinking, as long as these soldier ants regard the backs of the worker ants as the ground.
After the Divine Envoy King's legion withdrew, the other legions still followed the ancient and rigid see-saw tactics step by step. The Pavement Ant Barbarian Army finally got a chance to breathe and no longer had to face the massacre of the Divine Envoy King's army.
The sky finally began to light up, and the extremely miserable night for the pavement ants was finally over.
The protagonist instructs the legion soldiers to rest in place. There is no camp and no food. They can only fall asleep for a while to replenish their physical strength. After the ants are full, they can go without food for several days, but after the fierce fighting, they also consumed a lot of energy, and many ants' stomachs were obviously deflated. The protagonist really wants to send a messenger to ask the public security how to solve the food problem. "Liangmo City" will transport the food.
But the Public Security Corps is still on the front line and has not retreated, and the protagonist has no way to ask. The Public Security Corps entered the battle earlier than the Divine Envoy King's Corps, and they have not withdrawn until now. However, their performance was far worse than that of the Divine Envoy King's Legion, and their physical exertion was not so intense.
The protagonist quietly watched the white color in the east dye the horizon bit by bit, and he looked forward to the sunrise. Suddenly, a raindrop hit his head, and then broke into fine water droplets and bounced away.
The protagonist looked up at the sky. The clouds were not thick, but the scattered raindrops fell without any warning. Since it was not a heavy rain, the pressure in the air did not change significantly, so the ants had no inkling that the rain was coming.
But even light rain caused by temperature changes in the early morning is not what ants like. Rain is always a huge threat to ants.
The Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Army and the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army stopped fighting in unison after feeling the rain. The pavement ant army quickly picked up the corpses of both the enemy and ourselves in their own positions, and returned to the sub-nest in sequence.
The Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force also retreated one after another. The reserve army that did not engage in the battle took the lead in moving to the nearby big trees. They climbed up the huge trunks of the trees and hid in tree holes, bark gaps, or dry places backed by rain. The protagonist also led the God Envoy King's army to climb up a locust tree. The trunk of this locust tree was thick. The protagonist and the others lay upside down under the thickest horizontal branch. The rain could not hit this place at all.
The protagonist looked back and saw a large number of big-headed ants running wildly on the battlefield. The drizzle fell on the ground and soaked the soil. Many ants were covered in mud and water, and they stumbled after the commander to find a place to hide from the rain. Legions of big-headed ants are not only hiding in big trees, but also in the cracks of rocks and under the leaves of broad-leafed plants. Some legions have even penetrated into the insect-eaten holes of fallen dead wood. Not only doves occupy magpie nests, They also killed the fat and tender beetle larvae that were safely gnawing inside and made them into food.
The rain in the early morning stopped quickly as the sun rose, and did not cause losses to the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force or the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army. However, the Big-headed Ant Expeditionary Force decided to stop the attack and return to "Liangmo City".
Except for the dull protagonist, all the ants felt the unusual change in air pressure. When Gun told the protagonist that there was going to be a heavy rain, the protagonist looked up and realized that although it was already daytime, the clouds had thickened unknowingly and the wind was stronger than last night. Indeed, another heavy rain is coming.
There is no need for the legion commanders to communicate more. All legions consciously move quickly in the direction of "Liangmo City". The protagonist also ran wildly with his subordinates. If he didn't hurry up, the group of veterans he had finally trained did not die on the battlefield, but died in a heavy rain. That would be too funny.
On the way, the Divine Envoy King's army tried its best to maintain its formation, and quickly retreated along with a group of friendly troops who were also in a hurry. When the protagonist was tired from walking, he climbed onto the double ant vehicle carried by two sturdy soldier ants and lay down on the silk bed. He raised his head and saw that the dark clouds were getting thicker, but the sky was still bright and it probably wouldn't rain soon, so he felt a little relieved.
The protagonist sent a messenger to call Gun over and asked him to climb onto the silk bed on the double ant vehicle. This upcoming heavy rain reminds the protagonist of the heavy rain a while ago. At that time, Gun and the others failed to arrive at the main nest in time to participate in the wedding flight. The protagonist always wanted to ask them the reason for the delay, but then he got busy and forgot. I could finally ask carefully while I was on my way.
After Gun finished listening to the protagonist's question, he signaled the protagonist to receive an information packet.
Soon, this information packet was sent, which contained everything that Yi Gun had experienced in those days from his first-person perspective.
