The retreating black fire ant warriors retreated under the rock face, taking advantage of the parasitic fungus troops being blocked by the rear troops, to regroup on the flat sandy land where their formation was located.
Soldiers who lose their commander automatically join a nearby squad and accept the temporary command of the squad leader; a lost squad automatically joins a nearby legion that is still established and accepts the temporary command of the legion leader.
The Black Fire Ant officers quickly reorganized and quickly restored their formation. Although many grassroots officers were slow and did not escape, resulting in an imbalance in the ratio of officers and soldiers. The strength of some squads was greatly expanded and their command capabilities were reduced.
But in such a short period of time, tens of thousands of ants have recovered from a piece of scattered sand to this extent, which is enough to demonstrate the military quality of the black fire ant clan.
It is this kind of military system and combat literacy that allowed the Black Fire Ant Nation to rise to become the overlord.
This is where the confidence of the supreme commander of the Black Fire Ant Army lies. He is prepared to continue fighting instead of retreating.
In a short period of time, the Black Fire Ant Army was reorganized. Together with the original reserve team, its supreme commander once again had a strength of more than 80,000 soldiers. This was already a powerful force. It is enough to destroy any indigenous tribe on the border of the Black Fire Ant Country.
At this time, on the battlefield, on the rock surface in the middle, the parasitic ants and parasitic beasts had divided and surrounded the black fire ant army at the rear, and it seemed that the entire army at the rear was about to be annihilated.
On the left wing, the client ants have retreated from the lush vegetation and reorganized to fight in the open field. There are not many parasitic ants chasing them, and there are no parasitic beasts.
On the right wing, the situation of the vassal troops of the Black Fire Ant Army was also not good, and they were battered by attacks from the water and the air. Fortunately, the parasite force did not invest too many infantry in this direction. The black fire ant army on the right wing was retreating to preserve its vitality and maintain its organization.
The supreme commander of the Black Fire Ant Army weighed the situation and knew that it would be a good choice to invest the reorganized reserve forces on the left wing at this time.
The fallen ants here are not strong, so they can defeat one enemy army first, and then turn to the middle to attack the main enemy army. As for the right wing, the terrain is complex and cannot determine the outcome of the battle. As long as the vassal ants hold on, it will be fine.
However, there are still many black fire ant warriors struggling to support themselves on the rocky surface in the middle, and many slow-running male ant commanders of all levels are also trapped inside. The situation is extremely critical, and there are male ants every second. Ants are dying.
These people of the same race must be saved!
The supreme commander of the Black Fire Ant Army made up his mind. He convinced himself that although the terrain in the middle was unfavorable, if a large number of commanders were rescued, they could immediately replenish the troops, which would strengthen grassroots command, improve combat effectiveness, and be more conducive to victory.
As a result, the 80,000 black fire ant army quickly returned to the rock face, and the darkness was like a dark cloud covering the earth.
This black tide quickly approached the rock surface and collided with the creatures controlled by the parasitic bacteria on the rock surface.
Flesh and blood were everywhere, mutilated limbs were everywhere, and corpses were in a mess.
This smooth rock surface is like a stone mill, grinding all the creatures that step on it into blood, mud and flesh. A large number of corpses drip down from the edge of the rock surface like squeezed soy milk, surprisingly quickly Just piled up into a hill.
The black fire ants who followed up the feint attack no longer had to work hard to climb the slippery vertical steep wall. They climbed up on the mountain of corpses and bone ladders, and then quickly became one of them again.
The black fire ant soldiers launched an attack at all costs, and the ants and insect beasts controlled by parasitic bacteria did not care about the death of individuals and resolutely fought. The interlocking fronts continued to move west or east. Every centimeter of movement It was paid for by thousands of deaths.
Seeing that there was no chance of victory on the battlefield, the supreme commander of the Black Fire Ant Army was anxious.
At first, he was full of confidence, thinking that they were just fallen ants. It was not like the ancestors of black fire ants had never fought against fallen ants. Countless civilized ant clans worked together to kill almost all the fallen ants, leaving only a few who escaped. He went into the corner of the earth and hid.
Now, just defeat these remnants once more - the supreme commander of the Black Fire Ant Army, with 80,000 available troops, is overly optimistic.
After repeated consumption, he finally realized that although the parasitic ants were of different races, their combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of the heroic black fire ant warriors. The large number of fallen insect beasts even cost the lives of dozens or hundreds of warriors. Spell it out.
At this time, the troops composed of the vassals of the Black Fire Ant Nation on the left and right wings were already in a very dangerous situation and had retreated to a position where they could no longer retreat, otherwise the vulnerable flanks of the Chinese army would be completely exposed.
The supreme commander of the Black Fire Ant Army could only send out messengers continuously to strictly order the left and right wings not to retreat any further. But he can bring nothing to the wings except increasingly severe emotions, and he has no reserves on hand to support...
At the beginning, all the troops were sent to the center in a desperate attempt to quickly gain an advantage. Now that the center cannot open the situation, the two wings are at a disadvantage. An extremely serious situation lies before the supreme commander of the Black Fire Ant Army!
————
The left and right wings finally collapsed one after another. The burrowing ants and harvesting ants, which had no support, were not ant tribes that were good at fighting. Their ability to sustain themselves for so long was due to the civilized ant tribe's deep-seated hatred for the fallen ants.
In the face of huge pressure and the endless weird abilities of the parasite beasts, it would be a matter of time before the left and right wings were defeated.
Seeing the vassal ants escaping everywhere, scattered all over the mountains and plains, escaping to the east, they even kept attacking the main formation guarding the supreme commander of the Black Fire Ant Army.
The supreme commander of the Black Fire Ant Army finally admitted that the battle had failed.
While the Chinese army still has fighting strength, he must withdraw his effective forces as much as possible. Being able to win or lose is the quality of a famous general.
Dozens of messengers jumped out of the formation at the same time, bravely swimming upstream among countless retreating vassal ants, to convey the retreat instructions to the warriors who were still fighting hard.
The parasitic ants and parasitic beasts on the left and right wings are also moving towards the center, looking at their movements to surround the central army.
Whether the messenger soldiers are faster or the parasite army moves faster will determine the fate of tens of thousands of elite black fire ant warriors in the middle.
The supreme commander of the Black Fire Ant Army led his own formation with a small number of troops and stayed firmly in place, ignoring the numerous deserters around him. He wanted to see the army successfully escape before retreating.
But he can't see it!
A few gorgeous parasitic armored beetles that broke away from the large army noticed this group of unusual black fire ants in a strict formation while chasing down the deserters.
The "parasitic roll" in the rear instinctively judged the value of this target and ordered the parasitic infantry to rush and kill it quickly.
In the first round of impact, the supreme commander of the Black Fire Ant Army died unluckily in the jaws of a parasitic carabid, and was swallowed by two bites.
