What appeared in front of the "Holy Ally" warriors was an ant nest they had never seen before.
The surface scale of this ant nest is "huge". Of course, this hugeness is only relative.
For ants, there are only two types of nests.
One is the unique tree nest of the hunting ants. As the name suggests, it is located in a tree and is made of natural tree holes and bark cracks. Tribes in lowland humid environments especially like to build this kind of nest. Although it is simple, it can effectively prevent floods. .
The other is a regular underground nest. They are both underground nests. The nests of hunter ants are very simple due to the small number of ant colonies. Not only are they not large in scale, they often do not have many nest cells. Resting areas are simply defined according to the level of the ants, and food is provided randomly. Stacked in the corner.
The above-ground part of this underground nest is a cone-shaped ant mound formed by accumulation of debris that resembles a crater. It is also an eye-catching feature for identifying ant nests.
At this moment, facing the spectacular above-ground part of the outsider's lair, the "Holy Allies" warriors were almost stunned.
This outsider's lair was built on a small slope at the bottom of the valley. The terrain was relatively high and the location was very reasonable.
The entrance to the nest is next to a rock, and above the entrance is a high ant mound. The ant mound is like an extension of the rock, and like a bamboo shoot that has just emerged, wrapping up the entire entrance to the nest, leaving only There are a few entrances and exits in different directions.
This anthill alone is as tall as a small shrub.
Outside the ant mound, there is a wall with obvious unnatural traces, which surrounds the ant mound and the south side of the rock. A large number of outsiders formed a dense formation on this wall, taking a defensive posture.
Outside the wall, there is a circle of trenches.
The warriors of the "Holy Allies" have never seen this kind of nest fortification. In the past, most of their battles were battles in the wilderness or small-scale tribal conflicts. In addition, they took advantage of the victory to attack the underground lairs of their own kind or the fallen.
Now, a completely different kind of fortification appeared in front of them, and they were a little confused.
However, warriors who are aggressive by nature will not be frightened by difficulties, and the number of defenders in the outsider's lair in their field of vision does not seem to be large, which also gives them a lot of confidence.
So, without testing or commanding, as the first tribe launched the attack on its own, all the warriors took action, rushing towards the enemy like a mountain torrent.
Our warriors were relatively dispersed when attacking. They gathered in tribal units and ran fast in a straight line. From time to time, they jumped over obstacles in front of them with superb bounces and pounced on the outsiders' fortifications unstoppably.
Even if I didn't go to the battlefield in person, just seeing the images in the information package made my heart surge.
The soldiers quickly rushed to the trench. Because the trench is close to the enemy's wall, and the enemy's dense formation is on the wall. Some warriors who tried to jump over were often surrounded by enemies as soon as they landed. Their martial arts skills were unable to be used and they were bitten to death.
Their unfortunate ending reminded those who came after them, and the soldiers who attacked behind simply gave up their plan to jump over and crawled across the bottom of the trench honestly.
But the decision also brought trouble.
I don’t know whether it was intentional by the enemy, or because the climate had been warm and rainy some time ago, and the valley was extremely humid. The soil at the bottom of the trench looked very muddy.
Therefore, in the trench that was not long or wide, the first batch of soldiers who rushed down were still struggling in the mud to climb up to the other side, while the soldiers behind them had already rushed in in a steady stream.
All of a sudden, the trench was overcrowded and overcrowded with ants. The soldiers' movements were interfered with each other, and only a few soldiers were able to successfully climb out of the trench and launch an attack on the wall.
However, this kind of trench can only slow down the soldiers at best. Although outsiders on the wall continue to throw stones into the trench below, these stones only damage the hard carapace of the soldiers, that is, they can damage the fragile tentacles and jointed limbs.
In addition, the outsiders also use a special tool to throw small stones and soil very quickly. This throwing weapon has a certain threat and can penetrate the weak spots in the gaps in the warriors' carapace.
But overall, the soldiers did not suffer much losses in the trenches. Although their speed was very slow due to interference, they still climbed out one after another.
Then, the soldiers climbed up the wall. This section of the wall was not high, only two body lengths of the soldiers.
Since the other side of the trench was close to the wall and there was no flat ground to exert force on, the soldiers could not jump and could only climb up.
At this time, the enemy's dense formation can exert its power.
The warriors who climbed up were unable to gain a foothold and were often pushed down again. This was not bad. Some soldiers cooperated with each other and barely occupied a small space on the top of the wide wall, but they were immediately met with a crazy counterattack by the enemy.
Only then did I notice that the outsider soldiers who were stationed here were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and many of them were missing arms or legs.
But they still joined the attack mercilessly, relying on their numerical advantage to suppress the few warriors who climbed up.
The two sides kept fighting, but our soldiers were still unable to break through this small wall.
As more and more soldiers climbed up, the soldiers at the rear who had not yet entered the trench began to try to jump directly onto the wall. Although doing so could easily lead to a siege and sacrifice, it did effectively shake the enemy's defense line. .
After seeing that it was effective, more and more soldiers cooperated by jumping and climbing, and the enemy's defense line finally wavered.
Some tribes bypassed the frontal battlefield. They took a long way around, appeared from the rocks behind the outsiders' ant mound, and began to directly attack the ant mound.
Although these ant mounds are difficult to break into because of the few and small entrances and exits. But the appearance of this force behind enemy lines completely shook the enemy.
The enemy troops began to retreat while fighting, approaching the ant mound, and then gradually retreated into the ant mound.
Finally, we completely occupied the ground outside the ant mound. The walls and trenches were all occupied by our soldiers, leaving behind the corpses of soldiers and outsiders everywhere.
It was not time to cheer for victory yet, the soldiers immediately began to attack the anthill.
But this anthill caused everyone a headache again.
It stands to reason that in a complex underground lair, it should be a platform for a small number of warriors to compete with each other. It is difficult for outsiders to take advantage of their numbers, and the terrain is favorable to us warriors.
But once they entered the anthill, the soldiers realized something was wrong.
At every entrance and exit, there will be an empty nest room not far away. The outsiders will set up a semicircular front here to completely block the incoming warriors...
