Chapter 167: The Dark Tide is Surging

In the end, after three days and three nights of fierce debate, a consensus was reached, that is, the entire army of the Uland Empire temporarily shifted from an offensive posture to a defensive posture, and at the same time confirmed that the stink bug bomber was only suitable for sneak attacks and not for frontal attacks, that is: you can only be a thief, not a robber.

In view of the fact that the current situation has been reversed, the General Staff of the base camp of the Ulanx Empire has decided to suspend the bug bombing operation and wait for the time to be ripe before waiting for the opportunity to dispatch.

Due to the great losses on both sides, although the Red Ant Empire's air force still has a huge advantage, the Red Ant Empire's Federation has lost nearly thirty or forty million ant mouths, accounting for about one-sixth of its total ant population, which can be described as a heavy loss.

What's more, the Xiongnu ants in the north and the Yue monkey ants in the southeast are also ready to move, and they all have bad intentions to take advantage of the fire to rob and take advantage of the opportunity to make a big profit.

Seeing this situation, the Red Ant Empire is no longer powerless and inappropriate to wage war against the Blue Empire.

The Uland Empire suffered from the obvious disadvantage of the air force, and the food was still scarce, so it was even more reluctant to go to war.

Since then, the two sides have ceased war and entered a relatively long period of peaceful coexistence.

Although there is no real bloody war on the surface, you have never stopped secretly spying on the military, plotting against the opposition and inciting the independence of the other city-state.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the ant countries and ant city-states were collecting and transporting grain and grass to prepare materials for the winter.

In the territory where ants are often active, there is an endless stream of ants coming and going, some carrying things, some contacting the source of goods, and some patrolling and responding.

The sun was about to set, but now its light was shining all over the sky and the sky was even more charming.

A caravan that went to the border area for Hun ants and termites, guarded by a dart board, was still swaggering and unscrupulous.

The owner of this caravan is the famous red-capped merchant Nine Spice Worm of the Red Ant Country, and it is going to do business with the rich people of the Termite Ice City Federation this time.

Usually, they take the local products of the red ant country, such as herbs, fruits and plants, to exchange the local products of the termite country with the other party, such as: small animal fragments of fur and dried meat.

Normally, this kind of trafficking does not attract the attention of others.

However, because there are often bandits in this area this year, it is worried that its goods will be robbed and asked the dart bureau to escort it.

In fact, there were no bandits and robbers in this area before, but because the Hun ants failed to attack the Red Ant Country this summer, they were defeated by the Red Ant Country and fled in all directions.

Usually this is also called: stealing chickens can't be done, and a handful of rice is lost; The fox didn't catch it, but made a fuss.

The defeat of this war led to the emergence of many stragglers who were unwilling to return to the army and were greedy for life and death in the territory controlled by the Huns.

In order to continue to live, they occupied the mountains as kings, became bandits and robbers, and engaged in the business of robbing homes and villages.

Naturally, the caravans that trafficked goods became one of the targets of their looting.

The last time the goods were trafficked had not yet reached their destination, they were intercepted by these lawless guys on the way.

Because of this, the red-topped merchant Jiuxiang Worm gritted his teeth and hemorrhaged heavily this time, and spent a lot of money to invite the famous Hongyuan Dart Bureau in the capital to escort the caravan.

On the way north, this bodyguard team did perform well, successively repelling dozens to hundreds of bandits and robbers Hun ants who came to rob, and victoriously transported the goods to their destination.

When they returned to the voyage this time, they were still responsible for escorting the exchanged goods, and Nine Spice Worm and his men were naturally full of confidence in the bodyguard team.

No, it was getting dark, but the good thing was that the campsite was a small, well-defended town not far away, and it would be two hours away.

Therefore, Cao Wu, a cronie of the nine-spice worm, hurriedly slapped the boss's ass, danced the tentacles and said:

"Boss, you are truly blessed with great wealth.

Although this cargo trafficking is also thrilling, it has not all been smoothly broken through.

I dare say that this time it will definitely make you a lot of money, boss.

Let's have a good show of the spirit that was intercepted by the bandits last time. ”

The Nine Spice Worm waved its tentacles a little smugly and said, "That being said, after all, we haven't shipped the goods back to our house yet. It's better to be cautious. ”

It seems to be a fulfillment of whether what the nine spice worms said is correct. Suddenly, countless Hun ant bandits emerged from all directions, shouting violently and surrounding them.

Fifteen hundred bodyguards hurriedly guarded the nine spice worms and the caravan cargo group, and according to the old rules, put the heroic hand-to-hand fighting ants on the outermost layer, and put the artillery ants in the back position between the two hand-to-hand fighting ants.

The hand-to-hand ants pointed their long, sharp jaws outwards to meet the Hun ant bandits who dared to rush forward.

The artillery ants cocked their ** outwards towards the enemy at a height of 45 degrees, ready to fire 60% concentration formic acid shells at any time.

Unexpectedly, this time the Hun ants became smarter than last time, they were "wheel warfare" last time, but this time they were "desperate" and gathered all the bandits.

Not only that, but even the way of playing has also changed, instead of swarming on the ground last time, first concentrating all the artillery ants in front of the front, and constantly firing sticky glue and formic acid bombs at the caravan and bodyguard team.

The new tactics of the Hun ants suddenly messed up the formation arranged by the bodyguard team, and the members of the bodyguard team were either stuck together by the enemy's glue bullets and could not move, or they were beaten by the enemy's acid ant bullets and their limbs flew sideways, and the blood flowed miserably.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the Hun ants removed the artillery ants and replaced them with the charging ants.

I saw three or four thousand Hun charging ants surround the caravan of the bodyguard team and the nine-spice worm, and the nine-spice worm was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and shouted in his heart: God! Hurry up and save me! Bless me! OMG!

Unexpectedly, the idea in its heart was once again verified.

Suddenly, three termite rapid reaction units came from the northeast, each team also had at least 2,000 termites, and they were also regular troops with extraordinary military appearance.
