Just when the black-headed sour ants used a small force to spray formic acid in turns at the entrance and exit, the pavement ants were trapped underground in the sub-nest and unable to go out. Then the large army took the opportunity to rob and sweep around, the pavement ant warriors He didn't just surrender.
It seems that they saw that the enemy did not intend to directly attack the underground. After pacifying the troops, the commanders of the Pavement Ants had more time to calmly think about countermeasures.
The first person to notice the strange movement of the paving ant army was not the black-headed stinky ants fighting on the front line, but the protagonist.
The reconnaissance team is now staying at the top of a dead tree near the secondary nest, with an army of raging black-headed sour ants at their feet.
However, the black-headed sour ants are not interested in this small dry tree. A dry tree means that there will not be any food on it, so there is no need to pay attention to it.
The protagonists and the others are just lurking under the noses of both parties.
Here, the protagonist has a good view and can survey the entire battlefield from a God's perspective, but most of the scout team kings cannot see clearly what is happening on the ground.
Although the smell of formic acid that diffused here was much lighter, it still made the fly mounts a little anxious - the painful memory left behind by the stings of formic acid-bearing ants is engraved in the genes of all insects, just like humans have The fear of venomous snakes is the same in our genes.
The flying knights were busy calming the anxious mounts, but at this moment, the protagonist noticed something strange.
There is only one entrance to the sub-nest of the pavement ants, and now it is blocked by black-headed sour ants and unable to break out.
But in other directions, where the black-headed sour ants were not paying attention, there was a pile of topsoil arching up.
The protagonist took a closer look and soon discovered that the head of a pavement ant warrior emerged from the soil.
It turns out that the pavement ants have quietly dug new entrances and exits underground to avoid the blockade of black-headed odoriferous ants in the front.
There are three more entrances and exits like this. They were formed in a short time under the digging of pavement ant workers, but the black-headed sour ants were so scattered that they had no idea about it.
Then, a large number of pavement ant warriors emerged from the ground.
This time, the pavement ants learned their lesson and no longer gathered into a large army, but used small teams as units to kill the surrounding black-headed ants.
At this time, the black-headed sour ants have completely dispersed, looting and killing everywhere. Only the two troops of Queen Gongwei and those blocking the entrance to the secondary nest are still organized.
What's even worse is that the formic acid of many black-headed ant warriors has been exhausted in previous battles. Without the bonus of formic acid, the combat effectiveness of black-headed ant warriors has plummeted.
The scattered black-headed stinky ants that were plundering everywhere were quickly attacked by small groups of pavement ant warriors. The mobility of a pavement ant force of this size has increased significantly, and it has an organizational advantage when facing sporadic black-headed ant warriors.
At this time, the black-headed stink ants were no longer as brave as when they actively attacked before. They almost did not dare to fight head-on with the pavement ant warriors. As soon as they made contact, they immediately retreated and fled towards the location of the black-headed stink ant queens.
Since the pavement ant warriors still needed to maintain their team formation, most of the black-headed ant warriors managed to escape, and only a few were killed.
The black-headed stinky ant warriors who still had some formic acid no longer scrimped on their inventory and tried their best to spray out the formic acid in a short time to buy some time for themselves and their companions.
More and more pavement ant warriors poured out from several temporary entrances and exits, and many small groups began to move forward in a continuous front.
Viewed from a height, the originally scattered black-headed stinky ants seemed vulnerable, and immediately "collapsed" upon contact with the pavement ants' front line.
However, the protagonist also noticed that the black-headed ants retreated without chaos, as if they had a plan in advance. All the soldiers were running away in the direction of the queen. During this period, some soldiers kept spraying formic acid, which effectively delayed the pavement ants. Army pursuit.
It seemed that the black-headed ants were just planning to come and grab a handful and leave, without any intention of sacrificing their strength for it.
Although the pavement ant warriors are chasing the black-headed stinky ants away now, the losses to the black-headed stinky ants are not great, but the food near the pavement ant's sub-nest has been almost evacuated.
The real battle takes place near the old camp of the black-headed sour ants.
This was originally the location of the queen of the black-headed sour ants, and a large amount of plundered food was also transported here.
When most of the black-headed stinky ants are out to plunder, there are still about a thousand black-headed stinky ant warriors here who maintain a complete organization and formation. These worker ant warriors have never been involved in combat before, and the formic acid in their glands is still very sufficient.
After receiving the news, the black-headed sour ant warriors returned to their old camp one after another. The warriors without formic acid carried supplies one after another to cover the retreat in the direction in which the queen ant came.
At the front of the retreating team, there were two hundred soldiers with formic acid responsible for opening the way.
This kind of retreat cannot happen overnight and will take some time. But now the army of pavement ants are chasing behind them, and reinforcements are constantly coming out of the ground to support them.
The black-headed stink ants need time to retreat and need cover from the rear troops.
The one thousand soldiers who originally stayed in the old camp took on this task, and some black-headed and stinky ant warriors who also had formic acid also joined them.
They formed a front line and continuously sprayed formic acid at the pavement ant warriors who dared to approach.
At this time, it can be seen that the black-headed ants are saving formic acid. They do not launch a large-scale volley, but shoot sporadically every time.
However, the pavement ant army is obviously very afraid of formic acid. Once it is attacked by formic acid, it will temporarily stop, which buys a lot of time for the retreating black-headed ant army.
After spraying the formic acid, the rear warriors of the black-headed stinky ants immediately turned around and joined the retreating team without hesitation.
When the black-headed sour ants had fewer and fewer rear troops, the pavement ant warriors finally couldn't hold back and launched a full-line assault.
The last three hundred or so black-headed stinky ants immediately opened fire, shooting all the remaining formic acid at once, and then turned around and ran away - they simply did not have the plan or courage to fight the pavement ant warriors hand-to-hand.
Once the pavement ant warriors crossed the formic acid-contaminated ground, there was nothing to stop them. They kept chasing, and exhausted black-headed stinky ants were constantly being caught up and killed.
However, the large army of black-headed stinky ants had already escaped, and most of the rear troops also successfully escaped. The pavement ant army only killed more than a hundred black-headed stinky ants during the pursuit.
In addition, near the secondary nest, there are some sporadic black-headed sour ants that have not yet been informed of the news. These ants also ran away upon contact, and their dexterity made it difficult for the pursuers to deal with them.
At this point, a battle of plunder and counterattack came to an end.
