The enmity of the mysterious ants towards the pavement ants is not limited to the mountains.
Not long after the remnant soldiers fled back, and the kings of the main nest of the Ant Barbarian Kingdom had not yet studied how to deal with this new force that appeared not far from the north, hundreds of mysterious ants suddenly crossed the border, Kill towards the territory of the Barbarian Kingdom that paved the way.
This is also a matter of time. The day the Camponotus ants in the mountainous area are completely eliminated will be the time when the mysterious ants invade in large numbers. It's just that the pavement ants don't have this awareness yet.
Several fortresses on the border of the Pavilion Ant Barbarian Kingdom fell instantly. All the defenders here could do was send warning messengers to the rear, and that was all. These fortresses, which had a certain amount of troops stationed on the border and had not been lost during the previous attacks by the ant, fell one after another in just one day.
It also seems to mean "the sky is about to change"!
Due to the sudden change in the northern mountainous area, the army of pavement ants that gathered in the north last year has not been disbanded this year, which gave the pavement ant barbarian country the ability to fight back immediately.
After receiving the alarm, the main force of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army at one of the assembly areas in the north quickly moved northward in an attempt to fight the enemy decisively.
This army soon found a group of enemy laughing troops outside a newly fallen lair not far away.
This group of enemies is carrying the corpses of pavement ants from the sub-nest of the newly conquered pavement ant barbarian kingdom, numbering in the hundreds.
Relying on their numerical advantage, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army launched an attack, but were discovered far away by mysterious ants that did not send out scouts. It seemed that these ants also had good eyesight.
The attack did not go as smoothly as the Pavement Ant commanders expected. The Pavement Ant army had a numerical advantage, but the small army of mysterious ants kept fighting left and right, making it difficult for the Pavement Ant barbarian army to encircle and exert their numerical advantage. , constantly paying a heavy price on local small battlefields.
At this time, you have to rely on the commander's ability. This legion has many experienced veterans. With the efforts of some commanders and the guidance of the scouts, the ant barbarian army finally achieved encirclement after a large-scale transfer.
Dozens of legions surrounded the enemy in three layers and three layers outside. It seemed that the enemy was in doom.
The final general attack was extremely brutal. The mysterious ants tried to break out from one direction, but they were held back by the numerous and fearless pavement ants with their flesh and blood. Every ant participating in the battle seemed to have come from hell, covered in stains. Full of flesh and blood and tissue, the enemy and we are still fighting to the death.
The Pavement Ant barbarian army had a numerical advantage of dozens of times, but they still had to pay more than ten times the casualties before finally wiping out this mysterious ant.
The pavement ants ultimately rely on the tactic of climbing up the enemy's back and biting the enemy's neck to completely kill these tough enemies. The joints of these mysterious ants are extremely hard and protected by a layer of translucent dura mater, making the pavement ants' previous dismemberment tactics ineffective against the ants.
Even the only weak point of the mysterious ants discovered so far, the neck, is actually very strong. The bite of the pavement ant warriors is not as strong as the chitinous carapace of the same species. Many pavement ant warriors paid the price of their jaws collapsing before they could cause even a little damage to their enemies.
The Pavement Ant Barbarian Army, which had achieved its first victory, was not happy for long. While they were still cleaning the battlefield, they suddenly encountered attacks from all directions.
Thousands of mysterious ant warriors silently surrounded them from all directions, and then launched a surprise attack. The speed of their attack was almost as fast as the warning speed of the outer scouts of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army.
Some pavement ant scouts tried to slightly block the mysterious ants' forward speed to buy some time for their comrades in the rear, but they were quickly crushed like a mantis using its arms as a chariot.
The pavement ant army, which was not in combat formation, was stunned by the surprise attacks from all directions, and fell into chaos almost immediately.
The mysterious ants do not like to line up neatly and fight openly like other ants. Instead, they constantly intersperse and attack in small groups of hundreds, completely disrupting the enemy and fighting a chaotic battle.
But it has to be said that this kind of chaotic battle is best suited for a large, agile and extremely lethal mysterious ant.
The main force of the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom, with a total of 60 legions and 150,000 troops, was destroyed in less than half a day under the attack of thousands of enemies.
Although some small groups of remnants led by commanders were able to escape due to the mysterious ants' tactics, more than 90% of the troops were completely lost.
This unprecedented defeat for the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom in the past hundreds of years was quickly conveyed by messengers to all parts of the country, causing an uproar.
Suzaku's troops were lucky not to be involved in this great defeat, but another main force to which he belonged later also began to fight against the mysterious ants, and suffered repeated defeats and retreats.
In the end, as the flying knights of the Angel King's Legion detected, the pavement ants quickly lost their northern territory.
The mysterious ants are still increasing their troops continuously, and the total number is about tens of thousands. They are trying to directly attack the main nest of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom.
Later, the Pavement Ant barbarian army relied on the strong defense of the main nest that had been built for thousands of years and suffered hundreds of thousands of heavy casualties before repelling the attack of the mysterious ants.
The protagonists of the subsequent situation all know that the mysterious ants swept away the indigenous black-headed sour ant and Japanese black brown ant tribes outside the eastern border, and launched another attack on the pavement ant barbarian country from the north and east in the next year. .
——I am the dividing line——
Even though a year has passed, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army still has no shortage of tactics that can compete with the mysterious ants.
This kind of ant is too "perfect" and seems to be born to "slaughter" other ants. Whether it is attack ability, defense ability or coordination ability, it is almost SSS level.
The adaptability of the pavement ants is as slow as that of most other ants. They still use the tactics they have accumulated and inherited for hundreds of years to deal with the ants, getting twice the result with half the effort.
Only a few army commanders were more enlightened. They were trying new tactics, but with little success. Some male ants even risked their own lives in the experiment.
As a disciple of his teacher, Suzaku is one of the few most innovative male ants. He is also good at summarizing experience. Based on past battle examples, Suzaku believes that only by having a hundredfold numerical advantage in field battles can he be sure to defeat the enemy.
Facing tens of thousands of enemies, it is no longer possible for the Pavilion Ant Barbarian Kingdom, which has lost more than one-fifth of its territory, to piece together a million-level army.
Another feasible way is to rely on favorable defense facilities. The Pavement Ant Barbarian Army only needs about twenty times the numerical advantage to compete with the enemy.
This is the basis for Suzaku to dare to defend the enemy in [Purple Leaf Licheng].
