Chapter 63: The Battle for the Valley (2)
Things didn't go as smoothly as we thought they would.
As we left signs along the dry stream, the traces of the stream bed faded away, and a flat land with lush weeds appeared to us.
After a brief discussion, we were going to turn the new territory boundary here, first encompassing the pasture, and then extending the territory boundary in the direction of the nest.
Because this place is not close to the location of the nest, no matter how greedy we are, our strength will not be able to patrol and guard more territory, and it is time to accept it when we see it.
But just then, the grass shook a few times, and a warrior from another tribe appeared in front of me.
Then, two, Sanming, and more fighters came out of the grass in turn.
We were very close to each other, the distance we had to jump twice with all our might. Before, the thick grass blocked the view of both sides.
So, when we first came into contact, we were both startled and unprepared.
Soon, we all reacted that the other party was also here to grab the territory, but we didn't know if it was from the same tribe as the young warriors who met yesterday.
This is a scenario that has been foreseen before.
There were more than 30 fighters on our side, and after all the other side's personnel came out of the grass, there were also more than 20 fighters, and the two sides were evenly matched.
We were at a stalemate with each other, and it seemed that the other side also had a strong desire to possess the area.
If one of them has an absolute numerical advantage, it can completely force the other side away. At this time, the weaker side did not dare to resist, so it could only retreat obediently, retreat to a place satisfactory to the stronger side, and then demarcate the border, so as not to pay unnecessary casualties.
But now, we are too close on both sides.
The other party didn't know if they had also come here with their territory marked all the way, but there was no doubt that they and we had taken a fancy to this meadow, and the dense meadow meant a lot of prey.
With each other's strength equal, in order to fight for this land, we will either have to have a battle and decide the victory. In this way, both the winner and the loser will suffer large losses.
Or, there's only one possibility.
I flicked my tentacles, swung my limbs, and prepared to play. Often at this time, it is necessary to send warriors from both sides to duel.
The losing side of the duel will retreat some distance. If the winner is not satisfied, then the duel continues with the fighters until the winner is satisfied, or both sides are exhausted.
Such battles tend to have few heavy casualties and are a fair approach that is more acceptable to both sides.
As the most heroic warrior in the tribe, I was often the first to fight. The first one to play is very important, and only by winning the first game can you take the initiative in the back.
The winner can decide whether to chase after the victory or take it when he sees it. The loser can't take the initiative to challenge again unless they can turn the tables in a subsequent battle.
Just as I moved my limbs and prepared to go to the dueling arena. A yellow figure beside me suddenly jumped between the two sides.
It was "Huang", she was the first to rush forward and wanted to participate in the duel.
I was furious, partly because the power to fight first was mine, my most valiant warrior. Huang, she stole the honor that belonged to me.
On the other hand, I think she will lose, and then the whole tribe will be affected, and we will lose a large piece of land, and then we will be in a passive position in the subsequent duel.
Huang, although she is also an excellent warrior and hunter, but except for the dazzling color of the carapace, whether it is agility or strength, she does not have much advantage, even in the tribe, there are three or four warriors who are better than her.
Huang had already jumped into the arena and swung his body as usual to challenge his opponent.
The duel has been initiated, and the sacred duel cannot be interrupted, even if I am angry at this time, I cannot do anything. I can't rush into the field and pull Huang back, and I can't play in place of her. Now, the first battle can only be fought by her.
I hope she doesn't lose, although she is angry, but this is a decisive battle on behalf of the tribe, and the losing side may lose a large territory, which means losing a lot of prey, which means that many young ants will starve or even starve to death.
But the scene that worried me still appeared, in the other tribe, it was a huge warrior who fought in battle.
Her body was as large as an ant queen, and she was bigger than an ordinary warrior. But she is not a queen ant, unlike a queen ant who only has a bloated and fat abdomen. On the contrary, the giant ant (voice-over, let's call her "giant") has a well-proportioned body, slender and strong arthrops, and a thick body, full of the power of Kong Wu.
Huang is like the difference between a cricket and a locust.
I sensed something bad in my head, and my gut feeling that Huang was no match for the giants.
Huang also seemed to be a little dazed, and when the other party jumped into the battlefield, I noticed that Huang's body trembled.
She may have just been basking in the thrill of winning the number one of warriors, a battle that had only happened between me and Broken Leg, but now she was lucky enough to get it.
But now she finally understands that status comes responsibility, but it also means the possibility of fighting, shedding blood, and dying for it.
Without too much politeness, as the giant leaped up and instantly crossed a much larger distance than ordinary warriors to enter the field, the duel had already begun.
Huang shrunk and tensed up, facing the direction of the giant. The giant's burly body, and the strength he showed when he jumped just now, had already made Huang lose confidence.
The giant didn't take a defensive position as conservatively as Huang, she adjusted her direction slightly, and kicked her hind legs again, and her huge body was already flying lightly into the air.
It was too fast, but I could still see her open jaw in the air, and she pounced on Huang who was lying on the ground.
Fortunately, Huang is also an experienced fighter, and instead of passively defending, she did not jump backwards or sides, but jumped forward low, dodging the giant's pounce.
The giant was stunned for a moment, she had already thought about her next move when the target fled backwards or to both sides, and most of her prey reacted like this.
But the reaction to the target in front of him was beyond his expectations.
As soon as the giant landed, she wanted to turn around, but her huge body was clumsier than that of a normal warrior.
Huang saw the opportunity, she turned lightly, jumped up again, and pounced on the giant before he could turn around.
At this time, the giant happened to be facing Huang. And we, the fighters, like to sneak up on their prey from the side.
There is a chance!!
