Yesterday I clicked to send but it failed. I will resend it today. I updated twelve chapters during this six-day working day, and I didn’t finish a single chapter. I admire myself!
——I am the dividing line——
Inula, a beautiful little wild flower,
It is a plant of the genus Inula in the Asteraceae family. From late spring to summer every year, this perennial herb always blooms with brilliant flowers that resemble mini sunflowers.
The rhizome of Inula is short, running horizontally or ascending obliquely, and has thick fibrous roots. In this large area covered by inula flowers, except for a few common local weeds, such as summer solstice grass, lepidium, chicory, etc., few other vegetation can be seen.
Even these other tenacious weeds are growing wilt surrounded by large tracts of inula. This is a world dominated by yellow flowers.
The ground was covered with inula rhizomes, and the ants could only struggle to fight on the ground divided by plant rhizomes, and even climbed up the low leaves of the plants to fight with the straight grass stems.
This is not a battlefield that the Angel King Legion likes. If possible, they will definitely choose an open gravel field or dry hard mud that has been baked by the sun. If not, they can also choose the land under the bushes. .
All terrains are better than this scattered battlefield cut by dense inula flowers.
The Angel King's army has no time to admire the beautiful flowers. They are engaged in a difficult battle. The dense formations and razor tactics cannot be used here at all. The troops have been dispersed into small groups and are fighting independently.
The attack on the third sub-nest started poorly.
The ant tunnels zigzag through the sea of flowers. Although the ant tunnels have tried their best to choose flat routes among the vegetation, these ant tunnels are wide enough for ants to pass through with two ants parallel to each other. For the rolling beetle army, But it is difficult to pass.
As a last resort, Gun had no choice but to put his army through at the end. The beetles could then pass through the grass blades of the vegetation, but their speed would definitely be slowed down.
But Gun was not worried at this time. In the first two battles, he only used the forward army to complete the task, and no large-scale battles occurred.
Today's vanguard army is Lanborui's 5th Army. They set off first and entered this dense and vast grassland of flowers.
The other three legions then passed through. Due to the narrow ant tunnel, the legions could only extend their formation very long. The rolling beetle army will have to wait until the end to overcome obstacles and move forward.
The flying knights provided vision in the sky, but the dense sea of flowers made them unable to see anything but yellow and green. The flying knights lowered their altitude, but they did not dare to drop too low. This herbaceous jungle was a favorite ambush site for hunters such as Mantis. There had been tragedies in the past where flying knights, including knights and their mounts, were killed.
The hunter ant scouts on the ground also don't like this environment. The place they originally lived in was an arbor forest. There was only a layer of litter under the tall trees and few other plants. Hunter ants like this kind of open and dark environment in the forest, which can maximize their vision advantage.
But in this sea of grass, they could only see a short distance, and their field of vision was no different from that of ordinary big-headed ants.
Several legion commanders of the Divine Envoy King's legion were obviously not aware of this problem. They were accustomed to discovering the enemy in advance with the assistance of flying knights and scythe-hunting ant scouts.
But today, what was discovered in advance was the Legion of the God's Envoy King.
A hunter ant scout was suddenly alerted by the sound above his head. When he looked up, he saw several big-headed worker ants opening their jaws above their heads and making threatening scraping sounds.
There are several aphids beside these big-headed ant workers. It is not known whether they are grazing aphids or catching wild aphids.
In short, the hunter ant scouts have been entangled with dense plant roots on the ground, unaware of the enemy appearing on the grass stems above their heads.
The hunter ants immediately surrounded the grass stems and climbed up to capture the worker ants. They were so familiar with this job that they would not miss it.
But this time, when the enemy worker ants saw that the predatory ants were approaching menacingly and they were aliens in appearance, and they were not tasked with fighting, the worker ants immediately fled.
They quickly climbed down from the grass stem decisively. Although the ants had surrounded the grass stem, the grass stems of Inula were criss-crossing, like a number more complex than the Xizhimen Overpass spanning the sky. times the stereo channel.
Several worker ants scattered and fled, but two were subdued and stopped resisting after smelling the enemy's sibling scent. But two worker ants managed to escape to the ground and quickly disappeared into the dense sea of flowers.
The commander of the hunting ant scout team is not a male ant, because the male ants of the hunting ant have poor combat effectiveness, and the scouts, including the commander, must also have extremely strong individual combat effectiveness. Therefore, the commanders of these scout teams are the most powerful worker ants who receive additional supplies of high-grade food.
The team commander immediately reported that the enemy had escaped, which meant that it was difficult for the God Envoy King's army to achieve a surprise attack.
However, Lambori did not realize the seriousness of the problem when he received the news. In his opinion, he was already very close to the enemy's secondary nest. Even if the enemy's ruling male ants received the news, they would not have time to assemble too many troops. His own Legion can still capture the target quickly.
But unfortunately, on this day, a large amount of food was allocated to this sub-nest, and the local dominant male ant was directing a large number of ants to hunt on the ground.
They did not choose to hunt in the sea of inula. The terrain here was too complex and not a good place for hunting.
However, the enemy's main force was not far away. After receiving the warning from the worker ants, they immediately rushed over.
The escaping ants did not come into contact with the scythe-hunting ferocious ant scouts of the Divine Envoy King's legion. They could not tell the origin of the enemy, but they only knew that they looked like aliens.
The local dominant male ant issued an order to attack all ants in the target area that did not smell of the nest.
This order is crucial. When the thousands of ant queen inheritance faction troops that were hastily assembled by the hunting team entered the inula sea, they were quickly cut and dispersed among the dense roots.
The leading ant follows the pheromones of the fleeing worker ants, leaving more pheromones along the way, so that the following troops can keep up.
Soon, the ant queen's inheritance faction army discovered the advancing scythe-hunting ferocious ant scouts of the Divine Envoy King's army, and fought against them.
Although the scouts were not afraid of the few enemies in front of them, the rustling sounds coming from the front obviously meant that a large enemy force was about to attack them. The scouts must report this military information as soon as possible.
The Scythe Hunter ant scouts counterattacked slightly and forced the enemies in front of them to retreat, and then withdrew.
The enemies they fought with quickly conveyed the information that the enemies were alien ants with the smell of the same species but not their own nest.
