Chapter 138: The Great Meal
This joint operation allowed Xiao Ran to discover some of these problems.
After counting the battlefield, 28 spear ants were lost, and the Flying Eagle squad lost 8 fighters. Because of the rough skin and thick flesh, the Saint Armor did not have any damage.
It seems that it is quite difficult to break through the defenses of the Red Shovel Clan. Unlike Cancer, Saints don't have soft spots.
For the spear ants, the losses this time were severe, losing a tenth of the total amount. But unlike before, there are now more than 4,000 ant people in the sea buckthorn wasteland.
The loss of 28 ants was quickly replaced by reservists.
Compared to the Seabuckthorn Wasteland, the losses of the locust army are much greater. After counting, a total of 80 locusts died in this battle.
According to the custom of the ant tribe, the sacrificed ant people will give back to nature. The worker ants carry their sacrifices out of the sea buckthorn heath to give back to the animals or insects that are in the upper food chain.
Twilight.
The victory did not cause the ants to revel, but rather the sacrifice of their teammates made the atmosphere heavy.
"Ahem...... Everything is providential, and you don't have to do without it. The wizard said.
After listening to the wizard's words, the ants gave themselves a little comfort.
"However, we need to think about how today's battle was triggered, and we also need to learn a lesson from it......," said Kudo.
Xiao Ran nodded and praised Kudo. Only by constantly summing up the experience of defeat can we usher in the dawn of victory.
"This ......," said Pepper, "I remember that early in the morning, the fart spirit came to the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland with the grass on the edge of the village and his team. ”
After speaking, Hua Jiao seemed to suddenly think about the big priest: "Yes, what about the fart spirit? His body was not found on the battlefield." ”
"With the character of a fart, as soon as the battle began, he found a place to hide. "Kudo Road.
"Ahem......"
"By the way, Prime Minister, we have prepared so much, and there are high-level weapons such as bombs, but we always feel that it is almost something to deal with enemy insects that makes us suffer such heavy losses. "Kudo Road.
"Yes! We've suffered a lot of damage. Xiao Ran said, suddenly lowering his voice, "In any war, there is no one who does not suffer heavy losses. ”
"Is there really no solution......" Sichuan pepper was a little lost.
"Ahem...... The old man and the prime minister have the same view, and the loss is inevitable. The wizard said.
"Wizard, do you think so too?" said Peppercorn, a little incredulous.
"Ahem...... Life and death are a part of life that must be experienced, so there is no need to worry too much. The wizard said.
"This ...... I don't understand that. Isn't it true that we live in this world to protect our companions, to protect our offspring, to provide them with an environment to survive, to survive? But now, our companions are dead, and they can no longer be with us. "Pepper Road.
"Ahem......"
These days, the protective nets woven by the worker ants are not large, and they are still far from completely covering the artemisia jungle.
And Xiao Ran seemed to have thought of something more important, and he immediately summoned all the leaders, the Shi brothers, the five generations of the Golden Axis, and the god of power.
All the members arrived at the meeting hall of the Cloud Palace.
"I have an important decision to announce. Xiao Ran said.
The ants didn't know what the decision was for a while, and they all looked at Xiao Ran expectantly, as if they were waiting for a way to defeat the army of locusts in one fell swoop.
"If the prediction is correct, the locust army will reach the Seabuckthorn Wasteland tomorrow," Xiao Ran said in an accentuated tone, "The total number of locust armies is over 100 million, and the strength of our Seabuckthorn Insect Clan United Nations is only hundreds. Even if all the people of the Golden Wing clan are soldiers, and all the bees participate in the battle, there are only 200,000. ”
There was silence in the chamber.
"The army of locusts burned and looted, and everywhere they went, the food of other populations was plundered, not to mention, even the grass that the Zerg could survive on, they gnawed cleanly. It can be said that the locust army has passed everywhere, and not a single grass grows!"
"So, our current situation is that if we fight, we can't win, and if we don't fight, it's hard to survive. ”
Xiao Ran looked at the Zerg in the council hall, and his tone became deeper.
"So, my plan is to abandon all the jungles on the ground and go all out to protect the hive cluster. ”
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, the council hall was still silent, the way for the ant clan to survive was to unite, and absolutely obey the ant who could best lead the ant clan to survive.
"But," when the ants were silent, the god of power spoke, "Didn't you say that you would protect the Artemisia Jungle, how could you suddenly change your hexagram! If there is no Artemisia Jungle, then the Artemisia Empire will not be able to survive when the jungle grows again!"
"Don't worry," Xiao Ran reassured, "this is the result of my trade-off, the Artemisia Jungle will grow again, but if the hive cluster is attacked, the entire cluster will be destroyed. ”
"But ......" Lishen was obviously a little unwilling.
"There is no need to discuss this matter, you can rest assured, if the Artemisia Jungle is destroyed, honey can feed you, but if the hive cluster is destroyed, the jungle will not be able to support the hive. Xiao Ran said.
Lishen thought about it, he still seemed to be unwilling, but it was true, so he had to accept it.
After the meeting was disbanded, all the worker ants, the Shi brothers, the Golden-winged ant clan, and the worker ants of the Artemisia Empire all participated in the emergency action at night.
This night, the ant people worked overtime for the first time.
But in the face of the invasion of enemy insects, this seems to be a helpless thing.
As a result, a clause has been added to the "Work and Rest Law", which states that the ant people are not allowed to work overtime unless there is an emergency war.
With the experience of pigeon nets, it is much easier for the ants to send new nets.
But the hive colony is so large that it is not concentrated in one place, so the nets that the ants have been working on for several days can only protect three-quarters of the hive colony.
The rest is up to the swarm itself.
When the ants returned to the ground, it was already 4 o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Ran ordered the ant people to return to the cloud palace to rest and prepare for the next day's battle.
Tossing and turning.
Because of the increase in the Cloud Palace module, Xiao Ran's room has been moved from the second floor to the fifth floor.
This is also a faithful suggestion for buying a house online - to be able to choose a high-rise and choose a high-rise, the north-south transparency is the most important.
This is completely contrary to the concept of the ant people, because the ant people feel that the center or the lower position is the safest in the cloud palace.
Xiao Ran was lying on his feather, and the sky outside the window was a little white, which was not dawn, but a sign that it would be a sunny day.
Locusts are not an insoluble solution for him, because with a mobile phone and communication with the outside world, all the difficulties of the Zerg are no longer so difficult.
It's a big deal, let the senior sister send a few packs of feed, which is enough for the ant clan to eat for a few months.
As long as tomorrow, the lives of the ant people can be saved.
Rattan pepper still hasn't woken up, but in this world, there is no insect doctor. If only there was an ant people who knew how to heal...... Although you don't need a miracle doctor like in martial arts, at least, you can treat trauma such as bruises, and you will be satisfied.
He doesn't have too many lofty ideals, he just wants to be ordinary and ordinary, live happily with this group of ant people in Qingyuan Village, cook some food, bask in more sun, smell a few flowers, and catch a few giant crabs......
