The surprise attack by the black-headed sour ants clearly caught the pavement ant barbarian army by surprise.
Originally, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom thought they only had to deal with the Big Head Ant Kingdom's Northern Expeditionary Army, but now this opponent seemed to have been rubbed on the ground and had no power to fight back.
Although the mainland of the Pandao Ant Barbarian Kingdom on the north bank of the river has never been invaded by a foreign enemy like this, relying on the foundation of the Pandao Ant Barbarian Kingdom, it was still able to respond in time and continuously regain its lost territory.
But just when the commanders of the Pandao Ant Barbarian Army thought they had a chance to win, a third-party force that came from nowhere suddenly invaded the empty base camp without warning. The Dao Ant Commander was angry and had wild thoughts.
No matter what, the base camp must be rescued.
As a result, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army could only suspend its offensive against "Target D". The troops that had not yet crossed the pontoon bridge were the first to turn back and rush towards the base camp not far away. The troops that had already crossed the river began to shrink one by one, and began to return to the north bank of the stream through the pontoon bridge. At this time, it is inevitable to leave the rear troops behind to guard against the counterattack of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom Army.
When the first reinforcements of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army arrived at the outskirts of the base camp, they were immediately discovered by the alert black-headed sour ant scouts.
At this time, most of the black-headed ants have gone deep underground and participated in food transportation. The food that was moved to the ground was concentrated near the old camp, where the queen of the black-headed sour ant was stationed with a small number of elites.
After learning about the massive approach of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, the Black-headed Sour Ant Queen immediately sensed the danger and ordered to prepare to retreat.
After all, the black-headed sour ants know that they cannot compete with the pavement ants. The troops here are basically the entire strength of the tribe and cannot suffer excessive losses.
As a result, the black-headed ants around the queen immediately secreted a slightly acidic pheromone. The black-headed ants that smelled the smell hurriedly returned to the team to gather.
In order to notify their companions who were deep underground, one after another black-headed sour ant messengers rushed into the base camp madly, sending out signals to retreat while running wildly.
But it seemed that it was too late. The Paidao Ant Barbarian Army returned to support very quickly. Their commander was already furious and vowed to cut into pieces the enemies who dared to attack.
The black-headed stinky ant scouts on alert at the periphery began to try to slow down the speed of the pavement ant barbarian army to buy time for their companions behind them. These scouts ran to the side of the pavement ant barbarian army and started spraying formic acid.
Since the pavement ant barbarian army formed a tight formation and advanced in a horizontal battle formation, even though they found the few black-headed sour ant scouts wandering on their side, in order to maintain the integrity of the formation, they did not take any measures. No matter what action you take, you still move forward firmly.
When the formic acid suddenly arrived, the spattered pavement ant warriors immediately rolled in pain, disrupting the formation on the flanks.
Fortunately, there were not many black-headed sour ant scouts attacking. Although it caused slight confusion in the formation of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, it could not stop them from advancing.
The commander of the pavement ant barbarian army sent out his own small team of scouts and used a skirmish line to drive away the flanking black-headed stinky ant scouts. After these black-headed stinky ant scouts finished spraying the formic acid, they did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly Escaped.
The Pavement Ant Barbarian Army has arrived near the entrance and exit of the base camp. The vanguard has four legions and nearly 10,000 soldiers.
The old camp of the black-headed sour ant tribe is set up next to the entrance and exit to facilitate the transportation of trophies. Since there are still many tribal warriors underground who have not yet returned to their ranks, the queen of the black-headed sour ants has only gathered half of her troops, about five thousand warriors.
In the past, when the loot was abundant, the black-headed ant tribe was willing to leave a rear army to hold off the pursuers. Even if the rear army was wiped out, the harvest would be enough to compensate.
But now, half of the troops have not returned. Once the troops on the ground retreat, these soldiers who are stuck underground will have no choice but to die. A loss of this level of five thousand soldiers would be overwhelming and unbearable for any tribe of black-headed sour ants.
The black-headed sour ant queen can only gather her troops to block the counterattack of the paving ant barbarian army. At this moment, all "God's instructions" and "God's gifts" were forgotten. The queen ant and the soldiers all understood that they had to rely on themselves to survive.
The black-headed stinky ant warriors formed three loose fronts. Compared with the tight formation of the opposite paving ant barbarian army, each front seemed very loose and seemed to be easily penetrated.
Soon the vanguard ant barbarian army suffered a nightmare attack.
The first front line of loosely arranged black-headed sour ants began to spray formic acid frantically towards the barbarian army of pavement ants that were already close at hand.
The scene of thousands of soldiers spraying formic acid at the same time was so spectacular that a thick plume of smoke seemed to rise out of thin air from the ground, instantly covering both sides.
At this time, the space on the surface was almost windless. With the force of the spray, the acid surged towards the paving ant barbarian army in the south. Only a small part of the atomized acid spread to the battle line of the black-headed sour ants.
The black-headed sour ants have a certain resistance to their own acid. After the acid mist envelopes them, there will be no effect in a short period of time.
But the barbarian army of pavement ants on the opposite side seemed to be trapped in the ground. The ants that were directly sprayed by the high-concentration acid had their compound eyes, mouths, carapace gaps and other soft spots immediately corroded. The huge pain made these ants no longer obey orders. Instead, he rolled blindly on the ground, hoping that the soil would absorb these deadly acids.
But the soil on the ground is also contaminated with acid. This behavior will only make the death of these injured ants more painful.
Even ants that were not directly sprayed by the acid were quickly enveloped by the evaporated acid. The acid droplets poured in from the compound eyes, mouths, stomata, and from all the channels connecting the ants' bodies to the outside, causing damage to their internal organs. damage.
After just one face-to-face encounter, the front line of the pavement ant barbarian army collapsed.
However, the black-headed acid ants are not optimistic either. The soldiers on the first front have exhausted their acid and lost most of their combat power, so they can only retreat to the rear.
The Pavement Ant Barbarian Army has obviously had experience fighting black-headed stinky ants, and knows that this is their only killer move.
After paying a certain amount of casualties and consuming the enemy's acid, the commander of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army sent out his troops again without hesitation, passing through the battlefield where the corpses had been blown away by the acid mist, and once again approached the black-headed acid. The old camp of the Stinky Ant Tribe.
The soldiers in the second line of black-headed acid ants had no choice but to step forward, and a thick white acid mist rose from the position again.
