Chapter 39 Ant Colony War (1)
It's just that Ma Yi is preparing to accumulate strength to do something big, so for the time being, he has not touched the old forces.
The six ant queens he conquered were all the same kind of little queens who lived at the same time as him and the queen ant Yiyi.
The colonies of these little queens are very small, and most of them only have a home of a few hundred ants.
These family assets were often wiped out when Ma Yi conquered them.
But correspondingly, these new little ant queens do not have such strong independent thinking, and it is much easier to conquer them.
His current power development has almost reached a bottleneck period.
Unless he takes his wife to move now, there is no need to avoid encountering the large fire ant nest nearby.
In fact, in recent days, the friction between his men and the fire ant nest has become increasingly serious as other nearby ant nests have been cleared.
We are almost at the point where we have to fight.
In this regard, Ma Yi did not hesitate too much.
If you want to fight, fight!
Immediately, he began to mobilize his troops and prepare to attack the Aphid Ranch.
This was actually much earlier than he originally planned.
But when he was making the plan, he didn't expect that his own individual strength, as well as the individual strength of his subordinates, could be as strong as this.
When a group of individuals with crushing strength appear in an ordinary ethnic group, quantity becomes secondary.
Early the next morning, Ma Yi led his men out in full force.
The main combat forces in this battle include: Ma Yi himself, the queen ant Yiyi, 20 specialized soldier ants, 300 5cm giant soldier ants, and 5,000 ordinary worker ants.
In most people's minds, when it comes to ant queens, they seem to hide in their nests, waiting for their children to feed them.
But in fact, among normal groups, the queen ant has the strongest fighting ability.
Even some specialized soldier ants may not be a match for the queen ant.
Of course, the Ma Yi ethnic group is obviously a special case.
Not to mention the powerful Ma Yi himself, even the 20 specialized soldier ants he gave birth to are all very powerful individuals.
But that's just individual power.
If Ma Yi is an unparalleled general whose personal power has reached the upper limit (compared to ants), and his 20 specialized soldier ants are generals who can "take the general's head from an army like a bag", then...
Queen Ant Yiyi's talent and status in marching and fighting are equivalent to that of a commander + strategist with a full view of the map.
The importance is even higher than that of Ma Yi!
The former can only affect a war, but the latter can lead a battle!
Therefore, in this battle that determines whether the tribe will grow stronger or retreat, the ant queen Yiyi must go! ——
Even though the ants are small in size, when the number reaches more than 5,000, they form a dense formation on the ground.
Midway, the ant queen Yiyi followed the tactics arranged by Ma Yi in advance and commanded the specialized soldier ants to divide into four teams of five, each leading about a thousand worker ants to disperse.
Finally, when they arrived at the aphid pasture, only 200 soldier ants and a thousand worker ants were left behind Ma Yi and the queen ant Yiyi, and the number seemed to have dropped sharply.
But in fact, as long as the two of them are here, the overall strength of this team will not be weakened too much.
When Ma Yi's main army arrived at the aphid ranch, they happened to encounter a group of fire ants busy in the aphid ranch.
The worker ants come up to take a sip of the aphid's honeydew, hold it in their mouths, then lie down on the branches and line up to go home.
A few soldier ants were standing guard to prevent other forces from snatching it.
Everything seemed in order.
Seeing this, Ma Yi didn't say any more nonsense and gave an order.
The soldier ants behind him swarmed forward.
The 5cm big soldier ants, compared to these red fire soldier ants, which are generally only about 1cm, can be crushed in two words.
In just a moment, all the red fire soldier ants were killed, and the remaining worker ants were also surrounded and killed.
Ma Yi then walked up boldly, grabbed a few aphids, threw a few to his wife, and caught a few himself to taste.
In fact, for his current size, the honeydew squeezed from this aphid was only a small sip, and it no longer had the same feeling as when he drank it.
But as one of the few drinks available now, Ma Yi still values this place very much.
After taking a few sips, the queen ant put the aphid back on the branch and expressed her happiness to Ma Yi: "Hubby, it tastes so delicious~"
Ma Yi touched her head: "This place will be ours from now on, so drink it!"
"Yeah!" Queen Ant Yiyi nodded obediently.
Below, with the concerted efforts of thousands of worker ants and soldier ants, the bodies of the red fire ants have all been put together.
Ma Yi did not immediately ask the worker ants to return them to the nest, but piled them on a flat ground below to deter the enemy.
Afterwards, the worker ants and soldier ants set up a formation nearby under the command of Queen Yiyi, waiting for the other side to find a place.
Ma Yi felt relaxed.
In the past, when he gave orders by himself, he needed to form a team in advance, and then use his tentacles to communicate with them one by one, which was somewhat similar to entering a predetermined program.
If you want to change it midway, you need to re-enter it, which is quite cumbersome.
But with Queen Ant Yiyi by her side, she can directly command everything.
This may be the power of the [Queen Ant Will].
Ma Yi and the others didn't have to wait too long when a large swarm of ants came from afar.
This is because during the previous operation, Ma Yi specifically asked the children to let go of a few worker ants so that they could go back and report the news.
Ants are social insects. When attacked, they generally respond in two ways: the first is to run away and act as if nothing happened. This situation generally applies when there is a big gap between the enemy and ourselves, for example, if we encounter some kind of two-legged beast that blocks the sky and the sun; the second is to go back and bring in reinforcements. This situation mainly applies when you can beat it.
Ma Yi and the others are ants, so they naturally fall into the second category.
Moreover, the queen of this ant nest judged that these ants were here to grab the territory!
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, nor can one place accommodate two ant nests.
War is inevitable.
Ma Yi and the ant queen Yiyi stood on a plant. Under the leaves were those confused aphids. They had no idea who their master was, and they just sucked the plant juice happily.
"A rough estimate is that at least fifty specialized soldier ants, thousands of red fire soldier ants, and nearly ten thousand red fire worker ants have disappeared in a month. This old neighbor's family fortune has become stronger!" Ma Yi sighed.
When he inquired about the information a month ago, this was probably the entire strength of the opponent.
But now, there are so many sent out alone.
Who knows how many more are guarding the home?
However, Ma Yi was not afraid, but instead felt a warm feeling coming over him.
"Yiyi, you are here. After we start fighting head-on, give the order for them to come out."
"good husband!"
