Chapter 42 Bullying the Weak and Fearing the Hard
Oddly enough!
These belly-raising ants, with their bellies high, their stinging pins and their jaws wide open, have been showing off their might in front of the battle, but they have not come up to attack.
Previously, after taking a look at the other side and finding that the other ant was outnumbered, the young male ant had already sent two worker ants to run back to find reinforcements.
And the belly-raising ants that came violently didn't care about the two escaped worker ants, they gathered in a swarm, not far in front of the defense line of the Divine Envoy King's legion, with their teeth and claws, but they just didn't fight!
The young male ant had a flash of inspiration in his head - maybe the other party didn't want to fight! Just trying to force your side back?
Although the ant world is full of all kinds of wars and battles, some wars have profound reasons, such as interests, territorial disputes, or dozens of generations of old feuds; There are also battles for no reason, just when you encounter something that doesn't please your eyes, you will fight to the death.
In the past, when they were in their homeland, the kingdom of big-headed ants and the later army of the god envoy kings, except for the war with the paving ants.
In the face of some indigenous ants in other directions, such as the hunting sickle ant in the southern hills, they are relatively peaceful and rarely invade each other's territory.
Sometimes I accidentally crossed the line, and the other party's night market drove away like this, and there were fewer big troubles, after all, it was not good for both parties.
The young male ant commander felt as if he had mastered the other party's intentions, and he didn't want a pointless battle to break out, and he also knew the lack of ant mouths in [Xinyang City]. And his team was originally tasked with foraging, not fighting.
Although the protagonist has previously given an order to destroy as many enemies as possible who are aware of the existence of the Divine Envoy King's Legion, and not let the existence of [Xinyang City] and the Divine Envoy King's Legion be exposed too soon.
"But this time there are so many ants on the other side, how come they are not within the ability of me to destroy as much as possible!" The male ant thought to himself.
Then it is better to retreat for a while, and the young males use their antennae to touch the nearby ants, and then they pass the information to other ants in the vicinity.
Then, led by the young males, they slowly retreated a short distance away from the enemy.
And every time the Divine Envoy King warrior took a step back, the bellied ants pressed forward, but they always maintained a distance of about half a decimeter.
The young male ant calmed down, he felt that he had really seen through the intentions of the other side, and the other party did not want a pointless battle to break out, as long as his side slowly withdrew from the enemy's sphere of influence.
He also prides himself on his wit, and since the arrival of the Great Messenger King, the Divine Envoy King has been preaching the importance of wisdom to males, and those who are more intelligent in some way are always rewarded by him, rewarded with delicious food, and promoted more quickly.
When I go back this time, will I also be promoted by the Divine Messenger King?
But the young and inexperienced male ant did not know that he himself had made a mistake!
All creatures are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard!
It is said that if you encounter a bear, the best thing to do is not to turn around and run, it will make the bear feel that you are scared and will be taken as prey by the bear; You can't stare at it and slowly retreat, as staring at each other will make the bear feel provocative.
One way to do this is to try to make yourself look tall, such as standing on tiptoe and raising your hands, or holding something on your head, so that you can get as tall as possible and make it difficult for it to retreat.
The most unfortunate... You can also die with dignity ... Chase Yo Literature
Not just against bears, many animals have this instinct to bully the weak and fear the hard.
Although the young male ants did not run away with their subordinates, their active retreat still made the bellied ants feel that these ants in front of them were weak and could be bullied.
After "forcing back" the Divine Envoy King warriors for a distance of more than half a meter, the bellied ants suddenly attacked.
They accelerated abruptly, and quickly rushed towards the position of the Divine Envoy King's warriors, and when they were about to make contact, these belly-raising ants raised their bellies even more, pouted their butts, and spurted out streams of acid.
On flat ground, the range of these acids is not very far, only a few centimeters away.
But they were fired together, and at the front, three of the Divine Angel King warriors were baptized with acid, and immediately rolled in pain.
Fortunately, the soft sand quickly absorbed most of the acid from the tumbling ants, and except for one warrior, who was severely injured in the compound eye, the other two soldier ants were not in serious trouble.
After a round of acid shots, the bellied ants immediately swarmed upward, trying to break through the formation of the Divine Envoy King warriors through the open gap.
The young commander was in the center of the position and was not doused with acid. Seeing the battle suddenly break out, although he was shocked, he still instinctively gave the order to fight back.
There was no need for him to give an order, and the soldier ant warriors in front had already spontaneously counterattacked.
Although the number of bellied ants that attacked had an advantage, they used acid to attack the Divine King and the warriors were caught off guard. But in hand-to-hand combat, these bellied ants are vulnerable.
They are too small, just as small as the worker ants of the big-headed ants, and they are inferior in size and strength in the face of the burly big-headed ant soldier ants.
The large jaws of the bellied ant, although very dexterous because of their structure, a pair of small hooks are like nimble fingers, which can find what they need from the most messy sand.
But such large jaws are not suitable for fighting, and the truly ferocious ants are generally sharp sickle-shaped jaws, serrated jaws, or large jaws as thick as a vice.
On the other hand, on the side of the Divine Envoy King Legion, the soldier ant warriors are all equipped with copper jaw knives, and most of the worker ants who support the battle are also equipped with gravel jaw knives, and only a few new generation worker ants born in [Xinyang City] are not equipped with weapons.
Several soldiers and ant warriors of the Divine Envoy King Legion, although they lost the battle line, still formed a team of two or three, skillfully cooperating with each other to fight.
The warrior in charge of the defense blocks the jaws or stings of other enemies, and covers the warrior in charge of the attack to suddenly attack, biting off the enemy's head in one bite.
The worker ants who came up with reinforcements also blocked the enemies who were outflanking on both sides, creating opportunities for the main soldier ants.
A small battle was extremely fierce, many of the warriors of the Divine Envoy King were killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and some of the veterans even had two years of military experience, and they had participated in the civil war of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, and they had also participated in even more tragic battles against the destroyers.
Compared to the previous enemies, these bellied ants are simply weak and pitiful.
Just the ants ate a meal, and those belly-raising ants, which were more numerous and originally menacing, were killed in pieces.
As a nearby search party rushed to support them when they heard the news, the Divine Envoy King warriors launched a counterattack, not only defeating the enemy in front of them, but also bravely killing the enemy's large force that had not moved.
If you offend the legion of the Divine King, you will suffer the wrath of vengeance!
