This is a huge rock with a slightly sloping surface, located beside a small pond.
A little south from the dense green leaves beside the pond, there is a wet ridge with no vegetation. After passing the ridge, there is the boundary between the sloping top surface of this huge rock and the soil.
This huge rock is like a coffee table with two legs missing. It slopes from north to south at an angle of about ten degrees, and from east to west at a steeper angle. Generally speaking, it is highest in the southeast and lowest in the northwest. .
The rock surface is very smooth, dark gray and covered with large and small pits, which are the result of years of wind and rain erosion, and are like the marks left by a stonemason when he chiseled out a flat surface.
This rock platform is located to the west of the nest where the black fire ant army is currently stationed and the nest of the original red imported fire ant tribe. It is the natural boundary of the territory of the original red imported fire ant tribe.
Passing through the rock face and pond is the boundary of the secondary nest of the black fire ant kingdom, which is now occupied by the parasitic fungus.
On March 12, after the black fire ant army barely scraped together enough food for three days, another batch of reinforcements arrived, totaling 180,000 soldiers of all races.
The black fire ant army was finally ready for battle. Early that morning, they distributed crow wine to all the male ant commanders and the middle and high-level generals of the vassal ant clan to boost the morale of the commanders. At the same time, the warriors of all races had a good meal and began to attack.
Following the pheromones left by the early scouts, the army began to march towards the rock face. They were preparing to take the shortest route and attack the enemy's nest.
If you take the rock face, this route is not only the shortest, but also has a rock face as big as a large conference table (about 20 square meters). The surface is flat and has no obstacles. It is also the most suitable terrain for marching and fighting.
According to the scout investigation, the number of enemy ants should not be as large as that of the black fire ant army, so the black fire ant army planned to rush forward and win with force.
The army of black fire ants all left their nests when the sun rose to about 9 o'clock, and arrived at the rock face in a marching array.
In the sky, parasitic flying insects controlled by parasitic bacteria were flying, but they did not alert the black fire ant army on the ground. The brains of the parasitic bacteria were already aware of their actions through the flying insects.
When the black fire ant army arrived at the rock face, they finally received a report from the scouts. The scouts were intercepted by the parasitic army and suffered heavy losses, but they also figured out the opponent's movements.
The enemy has been prepared and has dispatched troops, and many war beasts have been dispatched, chasing the scouts everywhere.
After hearing the news, the black fire ant army formed a battle formation in front of the rock and prepared for battle.
The army of black fire ants formed three columns, forming the central army, climbing up the rock face and advancing.
The other vassals and slave ant warriors were divided into left and right wings. The left wing walked through the dense forest of herbs and ferns on the south side of the rock face, and the right wing formed a long and narrow queue, preparing to quickly pass through a long, wet dirt road between the rock face and the pond.
A black fire ant male led his own warriors and climbed up from the east side of the rock face. Unlike the comrades on the right side of the Chinese army who only had to walk up the rock face easily from the gentle stone slope, this group of black fire ant warriors had to climb a nearly vertical cliff with many slippery and wet rocks. moss.
After finally climbing up, the black fire ant army's front on the rock surface has turned into a diagonal line from the north and is advancing.
The black fire ant commander could only gather his men and quickly catch up, but he was unable to change the tilted situation of the battle line.
The black fire ant army's front line was very fast, not caring that the formation was distorted. They knew that the rock face was higher in the west and lower in the east. If the enemy ants occupied the high place on the west side to set up defenses, it would be very difficult to feign an attack.
Before the enemy ants are found on the west side of the rock face, you must occupy the entire rock face as soon as possible, and then attack the enemy ants on the ground from a high position to gain an advantage.
This is the battle plan of the Black Fire Ant Army, and the role of the vassal armies on the left and right wings is more to prevent the enemy from attacking the flanks and mainly serves as a cover.
When the front line of black fire ant warriors ran quickly, getting closer and closer to the ridgeline on the west side of the rock face, they were about to reach their target.
At the edge of the rock face, several ants suddenly turned over!
It's black fire ants! There are also a few subordinate burrowing ants and so on! They are all scouts of the black fire ant army!
These scouts were running with all their strength, their tentacles shaking violently, as if they wanted to convey some message?
Seeing this scene, the steps of the black fire ant army slowed down. Before they could recover, a huge centipede suddenly appeared on the ridge without any warning!
This centipede was red all over, with only a small half of its body and twenty or thirty pairs of bright yellow legs exposed. It showed extremely strong oppressive force, making the male black fire ants in the front line stagnate!
The centipede has huge and thick antennae that are also bright yellow. The mouthparts are not big but ferocious. The tips of a pair of sharp appendages next to the mouthparts are dark.
After this giant centipede climbed up the ridge, it stared at the ants with its dark eyes, then raised its head and seemed to roar. At the same time, hundreds of parasitic bacteria in the gaps in its carapace grew taller, as if white hair suddenly grew out of thin air.
"Fallen Ant!"
The black fire ant male commander at the front finally discovered the anomaly. The previous scouts were all working ants, and their senses were interfered with, so they did not discover the existence of the corrupted bacteria!
"Fallen ants! Fallen war beasts!"
The commanders who were the first to know about it were shocked. The fallen ants, which only existed in the legends told by the memory ants, suddenly appeared. You can imagine the shock!
The urgent military information was passed backwards, but before it reached the supreme commander, a massacre had already begun.
In just one or two seconds, the huge parasitic centipede, which was screaming silently upwards, had already rushed down the sloping rock surface like a giant dragon charging into the sea.
More and more parasitic beasts are appearing on the ridges, including spiders, crickets, scorpions, tiger beetles, and mole crickets! They all attacked along the terrain and quickly penetrated the first line of the black fire ant warriors.
The front line of the Black Fire Ant Army faced a sudden attack and was at a disadvantage due to the terrain. Many commanders were in a state of confusion and suddenly fell into passivity.
There were thousands of parasitic beasts attacking, and they attacked all the way to the middle of the rock face, only to be neutralized by layers of black fire ants. The black fire ant warriors could only resist with their flesh and blood, and they had to be careful of the parasitic bacteria that could attack at any time. Sneak attack, heavy casualties.
The battle entered the melee stage. The parasitic war beasts were still too powerful to match, but the black fire ant warriors also showed their fierceness. They attacked fiercely one by one and actually slowly withstood them. They were worthy of being the powerful soldiers of the overlord of one party.
To the west of the rock face, among a small group of parasitic ants and parasitic beasts, the "parasitic roll" with a huge head was guarded by Gong in the middle.
At this time, its compound eyes had turned into two white clouds, and it had suddenly entered the command of the spiritual level.
Realizing that the first wave of assaults by the parasitic beasts on the front line failed to penetrate the enemy formation, the white shadows in his eyes flashed with light.
"Parasite Roll" immediately sent out the second wave of insect beast troops!
