I never expected it!

Zhongheng never expected that in addition to the two possibilities he assumed, there was a third possibility.

Although the weather is dry now, in this volatile mountain, it is not always possible to continue for months, and the side of the mountain slope is also affected by the precipitation of warm and humid air currents brought by the air currents from time to time, and some of the precipitation is called "topographic rain" in geography books, and sometimes these precipitations are no less than the heavy rain of a typhoon in the middle of summer.

Since there is precipitation, the red fire ants under the ground will naturally sense it, leave the nest and take refuge in a safe place, and return after the disaster.

This is the third possibility: the 60,000 red fire ant army that was annihilated by the final balance is only a small part of the first to return after this nest of red fire ants went out to take refuge, and now, it is the time for their large army to return!

They took refuge in the hollow of a tree, and it was the same one where the army of ants of the final balance was stationed, and now, countless red fire ants were pouring out of the large and small holes up and down the tree, surrounding the army of the final balance into an isolated island in the middle.

The sporadic sentinels patrolling outside had been annihilated, and the nearest part of the torrent of red fire ants was no more than three meters away from the army of Final Heng, and there were already sporadic red fire ants that could not climb steadily on the trees and fell from the sky into Final Heng's position, causing chaos in the military formation that Final Heng had finally set up.

The yellow ant that was originally lying motionless on the trunk of the tree is now not in a state controlled by a puppet deprived of consciousness by Final Heng, so it is naturally impossible to stand stupidly and not fight back. In an instant, the neat formation disappeared, and some of the ants sensed the impending threat, and took the initiative to meet the red tide surging from all directions.

"Damn, stabilize my ......"

The final balance controlled the puppet to try to restore the position, and the ants who had fallen into a panic were now in the kind of entanglement that they didn't know who to listen to, and as soon as they heard the final balance's order, they immediately heard the signals from other ants in all directions, "There is danger, meet the enemy", or the opposite. They either swing their bodies back and forth, not knowing what to do, or scurrying around, and the overall organizational efficiency is extremely low.

Despite the loss of a rainy night, the remaining army of red fire ants was more than 100,000 trees, and they sensed these creatures sleeping soundly in the tower on their sides, and naturally decided to pull out the threat completely. As a result, these stragglers who rushed up sporadically to hit the stones with eggs were not opponents at all, and they were eaten up in a single photo, losing more than a thousand in just a few breaths, and the enemy casualties caused were not even a hundred.

"Damn, what to do?" Zhong Heng's forehead sweated rapidly, and if he continued like this, it would definitely be the result of the annihilation of the entire army, and a week's hard work would be in vain.

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, you break through first." Xiao Qian reminded.

"But, it's too much to run away."

"How much can you run, your puppet can't die, the puppet is really over when it dies."

On the vertical tree, the grenadier unit composed of American cockroaches has no way to carry out heavy fire support, everything can only rely on the ant army trapped there, according to the current formation, let alone destroy these red fire ants and take down the ant nest, it is good to ensure that they are not completely wiped out.

"Cover the retreat, Air Force Squad!"

Leaving only one wasp hovering as a field of vision, two golden-ringed wasps and four American cockroaches flew up and rushed towards the torrent of red fire ants that were climbing up from the bottom to the top. Without hesitation, they slammed into the trunk of the tree, crawling down the smooth bark of the mossy tree, ignoring the sharp pain of the countless red fire ants enveloping themselves and piercing them with their stingers, until their body functions had been completely damaged by the venom and fell down the bark.

The death of the six big guys was exchanged for the departure of more than 2,000 red fire ants, who used their lives to smash a not wide escape route for the army of ants trapped inside. Taking advantage of this opportunity, a 30X10 platoon of guns that had been finally formed took the lead in climbing down, and almost broke through the artillery fire when the red fire ants that came up were about to bite them.

"Sizzle—"

This time, they didn't have time to retreat to preserve their strength, although the salvo effect was better at such a close distance, and the red fire ants that were almost dozens of times their own body were killed in an instant, but more red fire ants rushed up in the blink of an eye, poisoning these giants who were just food in their eyes, and then drowning.

This was true of the first platoon, the second platoon, the third platoon, and all the way up to the tenth platoon, and every gunner who held out until the last moment tragically faced death after firing the last shot, exchanging his sacrifice for the hope of life for the friendly troops in the rear.

Shooting at close range was much better than shooting at long distances, but because the number of improvised gun formations was far less than before, all the red fire ants that had killed nearly 10,000 ants had fallen, and only 15,000 troops rushed behind began bloody and brutal hand-to-hand combat.

Both sides rushed in a swarm without any formation, so in the early stage of the fight, when the density difference between the two sides was not large, the casualty ratio was about the same, and even the battle loss ratio on the final side was even higher - because he had the huge yellow lynx ant army that the red fire ants feared the most, which can spray formic acid.

But such a scene is only temporary. When the number of final balance's troops is reduced, or the red fire ants above are surrounded, if he can't break through at that time, it will only be the result of the annihilation of the whole army.

Time, this is what the final balance is lacking the most now.

Fortunately, he still has a back hand - the 50 yellow lynx ants directly controlled by his puppet, and they are all the strongest 1.5 or 1.6 centimeter kind of large worker ants, far from being comparable to other yellow lynx ants. Controlling them to form a row of guns is not as inefficient as using the herald of the Paving Ant to control them indirectly, and it only takes a thought.

"Fire Cover, 10X5, Triple Strike!"

Swinging out the array of guns in the final order, the yellow ants opened fire. Unlike the ants that fired before, they did not eject all or most of their formic acid at once, but only a quarter to half at a time, so that there was a surplus of ammunition to ensure the next eruption.

After each eruption, they quickly retreat to the end of the formation to line up again, leaving the next row on top until it is their turn to go into battle again.

This "three-stage strike" tactic, which was common in the era of queuing and shooting, was extremely efficient, and by the time all the yellow ant ants erupted with formic acid, at least 5,000 red fire ants were killed by them, causing a hundred times the number of casualties. However, the number of its own is too small, which is still a drop in the bucket for the huge red fire ant colony.

"Array, Blade!"

Next, the ants quickly formed a "T" shape, smashed into the endless colony of red fire ants in front of them like a hammer, and met the enemy with a uniform movement of opening their jaws and shaking their heads left and right.

The military array is worthy of the crystallization of the wisdom of the cold weapon era, under the advance of the sharp arrow array, each yellow lynx ant can be swept into the big jaw with a flick of the head, and five or six red fire ants can be swept to death, and five or six red fire ants are thrown away. In the face of this desperate insect tide, not only was it not defeated by a wave of chaotic rushes, but it continued to exert its residual heat, killing and injuring enemies several times its own.

However, as a sentence says, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are paper tigers, no matter how powerful the blade array is, it is impossible to face an enemy thousands of times its own, and after continuing to kill and injure nearly a thousand red fire ants, these 50 directly subordinate troops still ushered in the fate of destruction.
