The red-eyed pavement ant barbarian army did not realize that the enemy in front of them was not the enemy they were chasing before. The male ant commander immediately invested more troops, hoping to break through the obstruction of these "rear troops" in one fell swoop.
In the opinion of the commander of the Pavement Ants, the Black-headed Acid Ant army has left behind the only remaining warriors with acid stocks. As long as they break through this last line of defense, they can completely annihilate the enemy.
The vanguard of the third black-headed sour ant tribe was surprised to suddenly encounter an enemy here. They had followed "God's Gift" all the way and thought they would gain a lot, but unexpectedly they encountered a war.
From the perspective of black-headed ants, the enemy is very aggressive. Even if the black-headed ant warriors release formic acid in time and form a small piece of acid mist, they cannot stop the enemy from advancing.
In fact, as the weather gets darker, the winds intensify, causing the frequency and intensity of breezes to increase significantly even near the surface. In this weather environment, the acid mist from the black-headed ant army can last much shorter than under windless conditions.
The Pavement Ant Barbarian Army discovered that the concentration of the acid mist had decreased at this time. Although it would still irritate the soldiers' sensitive antennae, compound eyes, and mouths, it was not fatal as long as they were not directly sprayed by the acid.
The dissipation speed of the acid mist is accelerating. It is after discovering this that the commanders of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army dare to throw their troops into the acid mist. In their view, the worker ants can be sacrificed, but the sacrifice cannot be too pointless.
The vanguard of the black-headed sour ant tribe obviously hasn't adapted to such a crazy enemy. In the past, acid spray and the accompanying acid mist were the magic weapons to dissuade the enemy.
Therefore, this vanguard force only sent a messenger to report the encounter with the enemy to the old camp, while the main force stayed in place and waited to see what would happen.
Subsequently, this black-headed acid ant army was entangled by the barbarian army of paving ants that suddenly emerged from the acid mist. Due to the lack of preparation, and the fact that there were few soldiers in the vanguard, they fell into hand-to-hand combat that they were not good at. The black-headed stinky ant warriors were quickly dispersed.
Some black-headed stinky ant warriors who were caught by the enemy and had no way to escape desperately sprayed acid into the sky, allowing themselves and the enemy to be sprayed with high-concentration deadly formic acid at the same time, and died together.
Even so, the vanguard of the black-headed sour ant tribe could not hold back the pavement ant barbarian army for too long.
Then, the red-eyed Pavement Ant Barbarian Army caught up again. Now, without the need for the scouts' pheromones, the army can follow the retreating black-headed stinky ants not far ahead.
Because of this, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army failed to realize that the pheromones left by the scouts under their feet had disappeared, and they were heading in the wrong direction. Even if the male ant commander occasionally has doubts, he can't help but be dragged forward - a red-eyed army often loses its rationality, not to mention that the ants themselves are not very rational.
The old camp of the third Black-headed Sour Ant tribe saw the remnants of the army fleeing back in embarrassment and the enemies following them almost as soon as they received the warning from the vanguard.
Although they were caught off guard, fortunately, the black-headed sour ant warriors in the old camp were now in good condition. They immediately gathered together and still used their formic acid to block the pursuit of the paving ant barbarian army.
At this time, no matter how slow the Pavement Ant Commander was, he realized something was wrong! Judging from the enemy's previous combat performance, it is impossible for the enemy to still have so many troops retaining formic acid.
However, what appeared in front of them was indeed those damn black-headed stinky ants. Even if the paving ant barbarian army knew that they had found the wrong target, they could not just withdraw.
Therefore, under the leadership of the male ant commander, the pavement ant barbarian army began to divide its troops and lengthen the front.
In this way, you can try to encircle the enemy and cut off the enemy's retreat. As long as the encirclement is completed, even if you pay a lot of sacrifices, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army can completely annihilate this enemy.
Secondly, with the outflanking troops in place, the attack front of the pavement ant barbarian army will be greatly extended, and the front line that the black-headed sour ants need to defend will also be lengthened. This will drastically consume the enemy's formic acid reserves, and may even create a weak point in the defense, which can be used to attack and tear the enemy's defense line apart.
On the eastern border of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom, many of the garrison troops in the sub-nest have had experience fighting black-headed sour ants. Although these annoying natives in the woods have never been able to conquer even one sub-nest, they often plunder the food resources of each sub-nest. The local garrison knows that the best way to deal with these indigenous black-headed ants is to avoid the formic acid and bring the battle into hand-to-hand combat. The second is to consume the enemy's acid as much as possible and then launch a counterattack.
Although the fighting pavement ant barbarian army did not come from the eastern border, after a whole day of fighting, the male ant commanders basically mastered the enemy's tactics and began to respond in a targeted manner. This is exactly The factors that allow the pavement ant barbarian nation to dominate the north bank of the river - when it comes to the intelligence level of the male ants, the pavement ants, like the big-headed ants, are enough to be proud of other ant races on both sides of the river.
As the pavement ant barbarian army tried to form an outflank formation, the scouts of the black-headed sour ant tribe also discovered their movements and immediately reported back.
This tribe of black-headed stinky ants had not been able to obtain any trophies yet, so they were not willing to just run away. But the older queen ant realized the crisis, and adhering to the opportunistic principle that the race has always adhered to, the black-headed sour ant army began to withdraw one after another.
Before the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army could launch a siege, they found that the enemy in front of them had already fled. And when the pavement ant barbarian army tried to concentrate its forces to pursue, they were always delayed by the formic acid harassment of the rear troops.
This black-headed sour ant tribe had sufficient reserves of formic acid. Under the cover of the constantly rotating rear troops, the main force escaped without any danger.
Except for the vanguard soldiers who were killed by the surprise attack, this black-headed ant tribe suffered the smallest loss among the three tribes, but also gained the least.
As night fell, the pavement ant barbarian army, which had been blocked by the acid mist, finally gave up the pursuit. Holding back their anger, under the guidance of the scouts, they came to the nearby auxiliary nest to rest.
After the battle, these experienced scouts used the hazy afterglow and the residual pheromones left by the foraging worker ants to quickly find their country's secondary nest, and led the army to avoid spending the night in the dangerous wild. .
The surprise battle of the black-headed stinky ants has ended. The protagonist's plan to divert the disaster eastward has been successful. At the same time, it has consumed the strength of the pavement ant barbarian army and the black-headed stinky ant tribe, and also indirectly helped the North who stood at "Target D". Conscript the army.
