Chapter 311: Straight to the Yellow Dragon (3)
Yesterday I clicked on the delivery and actually failed, and today I reissued. This Saturday and Sunday working day has changed twelve chapters, and one chapter has not been pulled, admire myself!
- I'm the dividing line -
Mulchflower, a beautiful little wildflower,
It is a perennial herb of the Asteraceae family, and from late spring to summer, this perennial herb always produces brilliant miniature sunflower-like flowers.
The rhizomes of the rhizomes are short, walking horizontally or obliquely, with stout fibrous roots. In this large area covered by mulberry flowers, except for a few common local weeds, such as summer solstice grass, solitary cabbage, endive, etc., there is little vegetation to be seen.
Even these other tenacious weeds are growing and wilting under the encirclement of large patches of swirling flowers. This is a world that belongs to the monopoly of yellow flowers.
The ground was covered with rhizomes of the rhizomes, and the ants had to fight the surface divided by the rhizomes of the plants, and even climbed the low leaves of the plants to fight with the straight grass stems.
This was not the battlefield that the Divine Angel King's legions liked, and if they could, they would definitely choose to fight on an open gravel field, or a dry and hard dirt that had been baked by the sun, or not under the bushes.
All the terrain is better than this scattered battlefield cut by dense swirling flowers.
The Legion of the Divine Envoy King had no time to look at the beautiful flowers, they were engaged in a hard battle, where the dense formations and razor tactics were completely unleashed, and the troops had been scattered in small groups, fighting on their own.
The attack on the third nest did not start well.
The antways swayed through the swirling sea of flowers, and although the antways had been as flat as possible in the vegetation, the antways were large enough for the ants to cross in parallel widths, but they were difficult for the rolling beetle legion to pass.
As a last resort, Roll had to put his legion at the end of the passage, and the beetles would be able to crawl through the blades of vegetation at that time, but the speed would definitely be slowed down.
But rolling was not worried at this time, the first two battles only used the vanguard corps to complete the task, and there were no large-scale battles.
Today's vanguard corps is Rambori's 5th Corps, and they set off first and stepped into this dense and vast flower grassland.
The other three legions then passed, and due to the narrow antway, the legions could only stretch the formation very long. The rolling beetle army will have to wait until the end to overcome obstacles.
The Flying Knight provides a view of the sky, but the dense sea of flowers makes it impossible to see anything but a dazzling array of yellows and greens. The Flying Knights lowered their altitude, but they didn't dare to descend too low, this herbaceous jungle is a favorite ambush ground for hunters such as the Praying Mantis, and there have been tragic incidents of Flying Knights and their mounts being killed in the past.
The scythe ant scouts on the ground also did not like this environment, and they used to live in an arbor forest, with only a layer of litter under the tall trees, and few other plants. Scythe ants prefer this open, dark environment in the understory to maximize their eyesight.
But in this sea of grass, they can only see a short distance, and their vision is no different from that of ordinary big-headed ants.
Several of the Legion Commanders of the Divine Legion were apparently unaware of the problem, and they were used to spotting the enemy in advance with the assistance of the Flying Knight and the Scythe Hunter Scout.
But today, it was the Legion of the Divine Messenger King that was discovered in advance.
One of the scythe-hunting ant scouts was suddenly startled by the noise overhead, and looked up to see several large-headed worker ants rubbing their jaws alongside their heads.
There are also a few aphids next to these big-headed worker ants, and it is not known whether they are grazing aphids or hunting wild aphids.
In short, the Scythe Ant Scouts have been tangling with the dense plant rhizomes on the ground, unprepared for the presence of enemies on the grass stems overhead.
The scythe ants immediately surrounded the grass stalks, and climbed up to capture the worker ants, a job they knew so well that they would not have missed.
But this time, the enemy worker ants saw that the hunting sickle ants were menacing, and they were alien in appearance, and they were not on combat missions, so these worker ants immediately fled.
They resolutely climbed down from the grass stalks, although the hunting sickle ants had surrounded the grass stalks, but the grass stalks of the swirling flowers crisscrossed the stalks, like a three-dimensional passage across the air that was several times more complex than the Xizhimen overpass.
Several worker ants scattered and fled, but two were subdued and stopped resisting when they smelled the enemy's kind. But two more worker ants managed to fall to the ground and quickly disappeared into the dense sea of flowers.
The commander of the Scythe Ant Scout Team is not a male, because the males of the Scythe Ant's combat effectiveness are not good, and the scouts, including the commander, must also have extremely strong individual combat effectiveness. So the commanders of these scout squads are the most combat-ready worker ants who get an extra supply of high-grade food.
The Squad Commander immediately reported that an enemy had fled, which meant that it would be difficult for the Divine Envoy Legion to complete the raid.
However, Rambery did not realize the seriousness of the problem after receiving the news, in his opinion, it was already very close to the enemy's secondary nest, and even if the enemy's ruling male ant got the news, he would not have time to gather too many troops, and his own legion could still quickly capture the target.
But unfortunately, on this day, this sub-nest has been allocated a large amount of food, and the local ruling male ant is directing a large number of ants to hunt on the ground.
They didn't choose to hunt in the sea of swirling flowers, where the terrain is too complex to be a good place to hunt.
However, the enemy's main force was not far away, and after receiving the warning from the worker ants, they immediately rushed over.
The escaped ants did not come into contact with the Scythe Hunter Scouts of the Divine Envoy King's Legion, and they could not tell the origin of the enemy, only that they looked alien.
The local dominant male gives orders to attack all ants in the target area that are not scented by their own nest.
This order was crucial, and when the army of the Queen Inheritance faction, hastily assembled by the hunting party, numbered in number, entered the sea of swirling flowers, they were also quickly cut and scattered in the dense rhizomes.
The ants at the head followed the pheromones of the fleeing worker ants, leaving more pheromones along the way, and the follow-up troops were able to keep up.
Soon, the Queen Ant Inheritance faction army spotted the advancing Scythe Ant Scouts of the Divine Envoy King's Legion and fought each other.
Although the scouts were not afraid of the few enemies in front of them, the sound of the sound of Suo Suo coming from the front obviously meant that the enemy was about to attack them, and the scouts had to report this military situation as soon as possible.
The Scythe Scouts fought back a little and forced back the enemy in front of them, and then retreated.
The enemies who fought with them quickly conveyed the message that the enemy was an alien ant with the smell of a non-native nest of the same race.
