If the fragrance is strong, it will feel stinky, and some odors will become fragrant when diluted many times.
For example, indole is a substance that is evaluated by perfumers as having a strong smell of feces and corpses when it is strong. When it is diluted to 0.1%, it is not so smelly, but has some jasmine scent.
(Well, everyone likes to drink jasmine honey tea, jasmine clear tea, jasmine flower tea, jasmine pomelo tea... right?).
On the battlefield, the faint fragrance that the soldiers of the God's Envoy King smelled coming from far away was exactly the smell of the extremely smelly secretions left by Siberian ants in the distance diluted in the air. It smelled like It was the spices of certain foods that made many soldiers very intoxicated.
However, when the warrior who was smeared with the pure and strong smell came back, all the ants were no longer sensitive to the enhanced version of this smell.
"Nai" shook his tentacles, as if he wanted to dispel the odor of the team commander reporting in front of him. His tentacles separated from his subordinates as soon as they touched, and he conveyed an order in the shortest possible time: He ordered the retreating ants to quickly retreat to the front line Go to the rear.
Therefore, the warrior of the God's Envoy King who had just returned from the battle was despised and could only look for sand in the back and roll in it to remove the unbearable odor from his body.
"Nai" himself wiped his tentacles on the ground repeatedly before wiping off the smell he had just picked up. If this smell stayed on the tentacles responsible for smelling, it would be no less than putting a bunch of odor under his nose.
After discovering that the enemy could emit a stench, "Patience" didn't want to drive his subordinates to engage in hand-to-hand combat anymore. He waited for the main force of the coalition forces of the ant and Siberian ants to come forward and assembled in an open space that was not contaminated by the odor. At this time, "Nai" ordered the artillery position to open fire, preparing to use long-range firepower to consume the enemy first.
This time the artillery did not disappoint the commander. In the first round of shooting, three of the four artillery shells hit, causing chaos in the enemy formation.
After three rounds of rapid fire, the military formation of the two-community coalition became increasingly chaotic. The indigenous ants, who had never experienced the baptism of artillery fire, had no idea where the attack came from. They only saw their companions being killed or injured inexplicably. After a while, they could no longer support themselves and started making noises. The retreated.
"Nai" was also surprised. He didn't expect the enemy army to be defeated so easily. Unlike the previous time when the red fire ant country encountered artillery for the first time, the opponent was not frightened at all and continued to charge aggressively.
In fact, there are still a small number of natural fighting ants like red imported fire ants. Most ants are not as brave as red imported fire ants, big-headed ants, and pavement ants, and are more inclined to seek advantages and avoid harm.
Although the tribal alliance between the Siberian ants and the Siberian ants is not considered weak on the south bank of the Qinghe River, and can even barely be considered a tyrant, its combat power is at the level of a younger brother compared to natural warriors like the red imported fire ants.
In addition, the alliance of the two tribes came to take advantage of the situation to rob and steal things. Now the forward troops have tested out that the master is very strong, and now they are suffering an unknown attack. The fear brought by the unknown and the rational decision-making after weighing the pros and cons made the leaders of the two clan alliances hold urgent discussions and immediately decided to retreat.
They retreated in a very organized manner and took away the corpses of their comrades who died in the battle. These would be the rations for a short period of time after the robbery failed.
After the alliance of the two tribes retreated, the two small tribes at the rear, the Yi Big-headed Ant and the Hairy Ant, still rushed forward and were almost completely wiped out in a short time.
The battle of the indigenous ants besieging [Pioneer City] ended in an anticlimactic manner on the first day.
Afterwards, the flying knight observed that at the residence of the indigenous ant tribe, other tribes who heard the news quickly ransacked the temporary residence of the Yi big-headed ants and hairy ants, which had suffered heavy losses, and killed all the ants inside. The queen, eggs, carcasses and food were each transported back as spoils of war.
This is the tragedy of the indigenous tribes in this land. Once they lose the ability to protect themselves, they will immediately be attacked by other tribes.
When the tribes were carving up the Big-headed Ants and the Hairy Ants, there was still a tacit understanding among the indigenous tribes. Even if the two tribes had a deadly feud, they kept in harmony with each other and focused on killing and looting. Obviously, this is not the first time such a carve-up has occurred!
This tacit understanding is also the prerequisite for the indigenous ant tribe to besiege [Pioneer City]. This is not the first time that they have besieged a "fat prey-like tribe".
The tribal alliance of the Siberian ants and Siberian ants suffered little loss today, which made other ant tribes that coveted them give up their ideas. However, the two-community alliance still felt deeply unsafe, so they withdrew from the coalition that afternoon and retreated towards their hometown.

The next day, November 3, the coalition of indigenous tribes, dominated by Argentine ants, finally launched a formal attack.
The indigenous ants are at odds with each other and are not truly united. Instead, they are working in separate formations, just moving towards the same goal of [Pioneering City].
Among the indigenous tribal armies, the largest is the Argentine Ant Tribe Alliance Army, with about 10,000 warriors, almost all of them.
Among other tribes, those with larger military strength include the Pavement Ant tribe with about 5,000 warriors, the Corn Hair Ant tribe with 4,000 warriors, and the Xiaohuang ant tribe with 4,000 warriors.
There are also some tribes with a small number of ants, but they have advantages in size or combat skills, such as the Turkic Campoback ant tribe, the red forest ant tribe, the turtle ant tribe, etc.
There are dozens of tribes with different strengths, but the total strength is 40,000 to 50,000. From the air, troops are attacking from all directions in [Pioneer City], which looks extremely spectacular.
The Divine Envoy King's legions are already in full preparedness. This is the first time [Pioneer City] has faced a major military threat since its establishment.
All the aphid herds outside have been temporarily moved into the nest for protection, and there are no worker ants outside looking for food. The soldiers of the God's Envoy King have set up defenses on the city wall, waiting for the enemy's attack.
When the armies of the indigenous tribes arrived at the outskirts of [Pioneering City], the shortcomings of inconsistent command began to be exposed.
Some of the tribal troops who arrived first rushed forward recklessly and chaotically. The defenders only fired a few times with millet cannons to suppress them. The mung bean cannons were not used for the time being, and they repelled most of the attacks.
There were only two tribesmen with thousands of warriors, and they were relatively fierce. They rushed up with light firepower, crossed the trench, climbed up the city wall, and then nothing happened.
The hand-to-hand killing efficiency of the warriors of the God's Envoy King was much higher than that of artillery. The two tribes left corpses on the ground and did not even bother to take away the corpses of their companions. They retreated in despair.
The Angel King's Army has not yet used artillery on a large scale, because the artillery can easily overheat and become inoperable after too many shots. This firepower should be reserved for the most critical moments.
When the main forces of the indigenous coalition forces, such as Argentine ants, pavement ants, and corn hairy ants, arrived one after another, the defenders knew that the critical moment had come!
