Chapter 78: Divine Allies (4)
The underground part of this outsider's lair was even more difficult to defend than the previous part of the ground.
Our warriors always had to get through the narrow entrances and exits where only one ant could pass, and then it didn't take long to make a turn.
Wait until you cross the bend and walk a little further, and the front suddenly opens up, but this is the beginning of bad luck.
In the open underground nest at the end of the passage, the outsiders had already set up a semi-circular defensive position with the help of the location, and a warrior had just emerged, and in an instant, the outsiders who rushed up from all directions grabbed his limbs and antennae, and was torn to pieces.
And more and more fighters are still pouring out, all of them without exception suffering this unfortunate end.
Our fellow warriors could only emerge from the narrow passage one by one, while the outsiders were stuck at the end of the passage in groups of a dozen.
What's even worse is that because the passage turned a corner, the soldiers behind couldn't see the situation in front of them, and they were still squeezing in one after another.
And even if the warrior at the front had already noticed that something was wrong, he didn't have time to dodge, and was directly pushed under the enemy's jaw by his fellow clansmen behind him.
These circumstances were only learned later, and the soldiers at the scene walked towards the death trap one after another, but the companions behind them were unaware, and they were still rushing towards death with you hugging me.
Eventually, one tribe noticed the anomaly, because the warriors of our own tribe only saw what went in, but not what came out.
As a rule of thumb, the battle is won as long as you enter the underground lair, and the warriors who enter the underground will carry the spoils to the ground while they are busy killing the remaining enemies.
Now, not a single warrior came out with loot, and it was a long time before the attack went underground, which was extremely abnormal.
Maybe the channel is too narrow? Can only get in but can't get out?
It is not uncommon for battle-hardened warriors to encounter this situation, and they can expand the entrance and exit on the basis of the original passage when they want to come up.
But now, there is no sign of this either.
So the tribe, who found out that something was wrong, sent their warriors to guard the entrance, denied entry to other tribes, and then sent scouts, only to discover this horrible scene - in the first nest underground, the remains of the warriors had been piled up like a hill with severed limbs, and the outsiders had to clean up the corpses and defend themselves.
Our valiant warriors, who sacrificed so much, failed to break through even the enemy's first nest.
As the news reached the surface, it was the turn of the Divine Allies coalition warriors to find out what to do, and it seemed that this small lair of outsiders was not as easy to conquer as expected, and so far, our people have paid hundreds of casualties. The loss of outsiders is only a few dozen, which is due to the fact that the number of outsiders is at a disadvantage, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.
We can't do this anymore!
The "chief warriors" of the various tribes on the ground reached a consensus, they quickly met, exchanged briefly, and decided to send some warriors to increase the entrance and exit to facilitate the influx of more warriors and enhance the assault capability.
It's a good idea, and even if I didn't go to war, I could only think of this way when I thought about it after the war.
But I knew that this method was doomed to be unfulfilled, not only because I already knew the outcome of the coalition army, but also because I noticed that just as the chief warriors were meeting, there was a dense "buzz" in the sky.
It was the effect of several flies circling and the sounds mingling together.
In the sky, the flies controlled by outsiders have reappeared for some reason, lingering like the shadows of evil gods, bringing doom, defeat, and death with each appearance.
Unfortunately, the tribes at the scene did not understand the habits and characteristics of outsiders, and they turned a blind eye to the flies in the air - yes, no one usually notices these common insects in the air, but they are just insects that we rarely catch and rarely eat.
Just as the coalition fighters tried to expand the entrance and exit of the target's nest, they found that the material of the opponent's ant mound (which is ant concrete made of ant saliva, excrement, ant glue secreted by larvae, and yellow mud) was so strong that it was almost impossible to lower the jaw.
Some of the vigilant tribes on the outskirts suddenly collapsed, and they ran wildly, not even having time to notify their fellow clans and allies who were still within the walls.
Their movements quickly attracted attention, and several tribes sent scouts out to find out the news.
The scouts soon ran away in a panic, but they still returned to the tribe first.
The scouts saw that from three directions, there were strangers pouring out of the mountains—their carapaces black, with an ominous glow in the dark sunlight of the trees; They were in close formation, like wildfire, rushing from far and near; Their expressions were hideous, like evil gods that could not be stopped.
When they saw the number of enemies and the encirclement network that was about to form, even the most valiant warrior knew that he could not be defeated at this time.
Fortunately, the warriors of our race have always been good at improvisation, and the various tribes immediately broke through in the direction where the enemy had not yet been discovered. There's also a bush over there, and as long as you enter the forest, it's the home field that our race is best at.
However, the flies in the sky are circling, and they always bring foreboding and misfortune.
No matter where the "Holy Allies" move, outsiders behind them can always catch up, and even lay down to intercept them in advance.
In this way, the "holy allies" always have to pay a huge price to move forward, and even have to change directions.
Eventually, the coalition collapsed, and the warriors seemed to realize that the large forces would not be able to escape the encirclement of outsiders no matter what.
Some tribes began to break away from the large forces and flee into the grass, ditches, or hills, but these scattered escapees did not attract the enemy's pursuit.
Seeing this, more tribes followed suit, and they were lucky, and most of the tribes who were able to escape back were those who saw the opportunity in time.
And those tribes that insisted on not leaving the main force until the end, I have not seen any trace of them until now, and perhaps, I don't even dare to imagine their final end.
The first coalition operation was a failure.
The packets of information passed back by the fighters, the intelligence observed from various angles, circulated throughout the "Holy Allies" fighters.
At this moment, those warriors who had never dealt with outsiders, those who had been enthusiastic and felt that the enemy was vulnerable before, were silent for a short time.
Our enemies, these outsiders, though small and covered in unsightly earth, have their armies strong in defense, even stronger than the Fallen.
This war of the "Holy Allies" will be extremely difficult!
