Chapter 136: Misfortune (6)
When another army of black-headed sour ants arrived, the rearguard troops of the paving ant barbarian army on the banks of the stream were not ready to face the battle at all.
In order to rescue many of their fellow clans who had fallen into the water, and to kill the big-headed ant warriors who were struggling to crawl to the shore on the water in time, the rearguard troops of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army gathered on the shore one after another.
Since the enemy was already separated by streams, neither army maintained a combat formation, but surrounded the shore in a loose formation that was most suitable for rescue.
In fact, this kind of rescue or fight is more based on luck.
Neither the paver ant nor the big-headed ant that falls into the water is powerless to control their own destiny. They can only struggle on the surface of the water and are carried away by the current or wind. If you're lucky, you'll float to the shore and be rescued by your kind, or killed by your enemies.
Those who are unlucky can only go with the flow and eventually drown due to stomata soaking, or lose the oil on which their bodies rely to float and sink. Living and dead, living and living things that grow in the water are considered delicious food.
But even though there was little hope of survival and the rescue efficiency was extremely low, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army and the Big-headed Ant Kingdom Army still did not hesitate to disband the battle formation, across the stream, trying their best to rescue the same clan floating to the shore on both banks, and pulling them when they approached the shore.
Because the stream is long, although the flow is slow, the person who falls into the water is constantly being washed downstream. As a result, the two armies on both sides of the strait also continued to extend and move downstream to the east.
At this moment, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army on the North Shore encountered a surprise attack.
When a wave of black-headed sour ant troops pounced in a close and orderly manner, the unsuspecting paving ant barbarian army was suddenly frightened and chaotic. With the blessing of acid, the black-headed sour ant warrior quickly defeated the easternmost paving ant barbarian army that had lost its battle formation, and a great collapse occurred in the paving ant barbarian army.
These black-headed sour ants are the second tribe that the protagonist has attracted, and the protagonist just wanted them to join the battlefield and cause as much trouble as possible for the Paving Ant Barbarian Army.
However, the protagonist didn't expect that the timing of the appearance of this black-headed sour ant tribe was so coincidental, just in time for the undefended Paving Ant Barbarian Army.
As they marched along the banks of the streams, these black-headed sour ants had captured some of the paving ants and big-headed ants that had drifted onto the shore, and killed them to share as food.
These paving ants and big-headed ants were overboard during the previous battle, not the ones that fell into the water in large numbers when the pontoon bridge broke at the end.
These scarce foods exacerbate the aggressiveness of the Black-headed Sour Ant Tribe, who are lured here by the flying knights sent by the protagonist for the sake of food. Now it seems that by following the stream, you can indeed get some meat, even if it is ants.
The black-headed sour ant warrior was extremely excited to speed up, and when he saw that paving ants that had not fallen into the water began to appear on the bank of the stream, the black-headed sour ant warrior overwhelmed them with his numerical superiority, killing and eating them.
In the past, the black-headed sour ant always lost more than the paver ant, once the number of paver ant barbarian army reached a certain size, and they were willing to pay sacrifices to consume the acid of the black-headed sour ant, most of the time the black-headed sour ant could only flee after running out of acid, otherwise it would face a massacre.
So today, in the face of the scattered paver ants, the black-headed sour ant has won small victories one after another, and the pent-up anger has exploded.
After that, even though the paving ant barbarian army on the bank of the stream spontaneously organized resistance, and even gathered several squads at one point, it still quickly collapsed under the concentrated spray of the black-headed sour ants that had already killed the red-eyed sour ants.
The black-headed sour ant warriors rushed along the banks of the stream to kill them, while their fellow clansmen, who had run out of acid, picked up the corpses of both sides and returned to the old camp, and this was the harvest of their trip.
The army of paving ant barbarians scattered and fled, and some experienced commanders, already aware of the irreversible defeat, sent messengers to the main force that had retreated in time.
At this time, the main force of the returning Paving Ant Barbarian Army had cleared out the recalcitrant black-headed sour ant warriors under the base camp, and was cleaning up the battlefield, preparing to end the day's bad battle.
When they learned that their rearguard troops had been defeated by the black-headed sour ants, several of the senior commanders of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army were furious.
As for the paving ants, they couldn't tell the difference between the black-headed sour ants of different tribes, and in their opinion, this enemy first attacked their base camp, stole a lot of food and killed many wounded soldiers, including some ant kings. Now, this cunning enemy has gone around the rear of our army and is attacking again.
As a result, the paving ant barbarian army, which had just stopped to rest, was immediately gathered again by the rapid sound and smell signals.
Soon, several legions in better condition set out to take on the hateful black-headed sour ant natives and relieve their own crumbling rearguard forces.
The paving ant barbarian army marched in two directions, all the way back to meet the routed friendly forces, and block the pursuing black-headed sour ant army. The other way detoured to the east, under the guidance of the experienced scouts of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, preparing to cut off the retreat of the black-headed sour ants.
The Paving Ant Barbarian Army has no shortage of experience in fighting the Black-headed Sour Ant Tribe, and knows that these enemies are opportunists who will always want to escape after the battle situation is unfavorable. This time, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army is the price that wants to make the black-headed sour ant tribe unforgettable.
When the paving ant barbarian army attacked forward in a tight formation against the acid mist, the black-headed sour ant warrior found that the enemy in front of him did not collapse, and tried to rush over to pull the battle into hand-to-hand combat.
Due to the pursuit, the ranks of the black-headed sour ant tribe were also very long, and some of the scattered warriors at the front were quickly besieged and killed.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the black-headed sour ant warriors began to gather and sprayed acid to temporarily cut off the counterattack of the paving ant barbarian army.
The fear of facing the paving ant barbarian army in the past has returned to the black-headed sour ant, and a lot of corpses have been harvested before. So, under the orders of the queen ant, the black-headed sour ants left behind the palace troops and began to try to retreat.
But at this time, the black-headed sour ant found that his back road had been blocked by the paving ant barbarian army.
The scouts of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army identified the pheromones left by the ants of different races on the banks of the stream, and the commander of the Paving Ants determined that this was the guiding pheromone of the Black-headed Sour Ants, and that they would definitely return from here.
As a result, the paving ant barbarian army established a defensive line here and waited for it. And the black-headed sour ants who retreated crashed headlong into this line of defense!
