Faced with tactics that were completely different from those of the Public Security Army and the Western Army, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army was obviously not adapted to the razor tactics of the God Envoy King Army. They seemed unable to find a way to adapt to the situation in a short period of time. After all, it took them more than half a year. It took time to formulate the existing tactics.
The reason why pavement ants are able to develop this targeted strategy is thanks to a group of their neighbors - the dissimilar blind leaf-cutting ants.
Like the big-headed ants, pavement ants like to live in plain areas rich in products. With their huge size and weak individual combat effectiveness, pavement ants have become the overlord of this plain area on the north bank of the river.
But in some nearby hills and mountains, there are still other ant races living. Just like there are colonies of hunting ants in the hilly areas on the south bank of the river.
Among them, on the east side of the area where the pavement ants live, about a day's walk from the opposite bank of "Linshui City", in a small valley near the river, there lives a group of completely different blind leaf-cutting ants.
The dissimilar blind leaf-cutter ant, formerly known as the dissimilar giant-headed ant, is a type of ant with a high degree of evolution and a very clear division of labor. The heterogeneous leaf-cutting ants belong to the class Insecta, order Hymenoptera, family Formicidae, subfamily Leaf-cutter subfamily, and genus Blind Leaf-cutting Ants. They are called "Asian army ants" and mature colonies can number in the hundreds of thousands, with hundreds of queens.
The body color of the heterogeneous blind leaf-cutter ants is dark chestnut brown. Individuals of their species have the following characteristics: they have one eye, the queen is larger, they have special giant soldier ants, and there is a huge size difference between worker ants and soldier ants.
The worker ant types of the heterogeneous blind leaf-cutter ants are extremely varied, and like the big-headed ants, they have specially evolved soldier ants. There are also great differences in body size between different soldier ants.
The worker ants of the heterogeneous blind leaf-cutter ants are generally 3.0-5.0mm in body length, while the body length of the soldier ants varies widely between 5.0-15.0mm. The queen is even larger, measuring 17.0-20.0mm.
In terms of combat methods, the blind leaf-cutting ants are as fierce and unruly as the pavement ants and big-headed ants. They do not have formic acid and stingers. They use their large jaws as their main weapons. Thanks to their size, their bite force is stronger.
The population size of these completely heterogeneous blind leaf-cutter ants is not as large as that of ordinary colonies. They only have one nest in the valley, with a population of about 10,000. Compared with pavement ants, they are at a great disadvantage, even with other nearby races. Not superior in comparison.
Such a small scale is closely related to their origins and the environment where they live.
These dissimilar blind leaf-cutting ants are outsiders. According to the recollections of the pavement ant kings, these completely different blind leaf-cutting ants drifted from the lower reaches when the river reversed course after a flood a few years ago. There were only a few hundred of them at the time, huddled in a clump of floating hay, probably victims of the flood.
They landed on the territory of the Pavement Ant Kingdom and were soon discovered by their master, and a conflict broke out between the two sides. In the end, these completely different blind leaf-cutting ants were driven out of the pavement ant's territory along the river bank and hid in a nearby valley to settle down.
However, the pavement ant warriors also have a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of these completely different blind leaf-cutting ants - in the battle, the pavement ant army suffered a lot. With the cooperation of their companions, the huge special soldier ants can even Calmly face the siege of dozens of times the number of pavement ant warriors. Only relying on their numerical superiority, the Pavement Ant Army was able to drive away these drifters.
After that, since the pavement ants had no desire to covet the valley areas outside the country's borders, the two sides were finally able to coexist peacefully.
However, these dissimilar blind leaf-cutting ants do not seem to have taken advantage of this respite to expand their populations. The reason may be that the valley near the river is too humid, making it unsuitable for dry-loving leaf-cutting ants. There are also other races of ants in the surrounding area with which wars have broken out from time to time, which has also restricted their development.
From the perspective of the pavement ant king, the heterogeneous blind leaf-cutter ants are the same as their old enemy Big-headed ants. In addition to the worker ants, they both have huge soldier ants. The tactics of the two are also very similar. They are both individuals who use soldier ants. Use courage to form local advantages.
Therefore, under the advice of Lucky King, who escaped from the south bank of the river, the Pavement Ant Army began to assemble an army, constantly crossing the border to harass the completely different blind leaf-cutting ants, and using them as tactical sparring partners.
The innocent blind leaf-cutting ants suddenly found that their small territory was no longer peaceful and safe, and there were activities of pavement ant warriors almost every day. Out of a mentality of defending their homeland, the Dissimilar Blind Leaf-Cutter Ant warriors fought back. The scale of the battle between the two sides gradually expanded from a gladiatorial battle between a few ants to a battle at the level of several squads.
This was done intentionally by the Pavement Ant Army. The Pavement Ant King or even the King commanded several small teams to fight against completely different blind leaf-cutting ant warriors, constantly finding ways to restrain more soldier ants.
Therefore, when there are no or very few soldier ants in the dissimilar blind leaf-cutter ant army, the pavement ant army will avoid fighting. But when it is discovered that the enemy has a large number of special soldier ants, the Pavement Ant Army will pounce on them regardless of casualties.
Because the soldier ants of the completely different blind leaf-cutting ants are too powerful, in front of them, the pavement ant warriors are as small as dwarfs. Therefore, in small-scale battles, the pavement ant army without much numerical advantage suffered heavy losses.
The commanders of the pavement ants do not care at all about the casualties of their warriors, as these losses will soon be replenished by the queen ants. Through continuous actual combat, various tactics and strategies for dealing with soldier ants conceived by the Pavement Ant King and the kings were put into practice and adjusted according to the actual results.
With continuous actual combat, the Pavement Ant Army finally discovered that as long as the soldiers squeezed into the front of the larger enemy soldier ants, they could destroy the integrity of the enemy's formation, thus dividing the enemy bit by bit and forming a local numerical advantage.
This is particularly effective when dealing with the dissimilar blind leaf-cutter ants, because the soldiers of the dissimilar blind leaf-cutting ants tend to be larger, and the gap between the two soldiers is also large, which is enough for a large number of petite pavement ant warriors. Squeeze in to complete the segmentation and encirclement.
This set of tactics was gradually perfected, and then the Pavement Ant Army continued to let the main troops that received the tactics information package invade the territory of the Distinctive Blind Leaf Cutter Ants for training.
In the day after day training, the Pavement Ant Army lost tens of thousands of soldiers, while the Dissimilar Blind Leaf Cutter Ant Army lost far less than this.
But the pavement ant nation has millions of citizens, and the number and war potential of the dissimilar leaf-cutter ant colony are far outnumbered. In the end, these innocent and bullied all-different blind leaf-cutting ants could not bear the losses day after day, and one day they all fled away, thus ending the trial of the paving ant army.
Now, there is no tribe of completely different blind leaf-cutting ants for the paving ant army to practice, and time and climate do not support them in finding new training partners.
It seems like they can't find a way to restrain the Angel King's army during this winter expedition?
