After arriving near the entrance to the nest, the specialized ant immediately found a rock and wrapped it with its forelegs.
This stone was also specially prepared by Zhao Zi'an.
It's not very big, about the size of a ping-pong ball, maybe a little smaller.
It's mainly round, which makes it easier to roll.
And the area around this ant nest was a small, earthen mound.
As the ants retreated, the horned beetle remained completely unaware of the impending danger.
Instead, they became somewhat excited, about to defeat their enemies, avenge the invaders, and defend their status as the local overlords; all sorts of joy filled their small heads.
When the ants had retreated so far that they could barely retreat any further...
The specialized ant walked to the front, and nearby was a rather round stone.
No control is needed; loosen the restraint on this stone.
Under the influence of gravity, the stone quickly rolled down.
Actually, this rock isn't very big, but for insects that are generally less than one centimeter in size, it's already considered a terrifyingly large object.
Under the influence of gravity, the stone rolled faster and faster, knocking countless horned beetles over.
Soon, one stone after another rolled down, and the horned beetle army was thrown into chaos once again.
Some of the rounder stones even rolled from one end to the other, directly breaking through the horned beetle's formation.
However, there weren't that many perfectly round stones; some stones might have rolled a certain distance before stopping.
It could be that it wasn't smooth enough, or it could be that it was blocked by insects, or it could have encountered a small, concave pit.
Round stones can roll a long distance on their own without being pushed, but such stones are quite rare.
But there's no need to worry about these things.
The effects have been fully demonstrated.
The purpose of the stone is not to kill the enemy.
Insects generally have thick shells, and the soil underneath is soft, so stones can cushion their impact.
Only a few unlucky insects will be crushed to death on the spot; most insects are just knocked over.
However, the resulting chaos is something that can never be quelled, and this chaos is far more serious than the chaos caused by the slime trap at the beginning.
The slime can only affect the front-line troops at most.
This rockfall trap threw the entire Horned Bug army into chaos.
【attack】
Zhao Zian issued his final order.
The ants instantly caused enormous damage to the chaotic hornworms.
The chaotic hornworms had little chance of putting up an effective resistance, and the number of ant casualties visibly decreased.
Specialization continued its rampage, pretending to be a stone, constantly causing panic among the enemies.
Many of the horned beetles that had been knocked over struggled on the ground, trying to get up and continue fighting.
However, such a defenseless enemy can be bitten in the neck by the ants in an instant and die on the spot.
Even after being rescued by their companions, many of the horned beetles that were knocked over were still in a panic, running around on the ground, and some even tried to escape.
They have basically lost their fighting spirit.
However, the other horned beetles that were not hit did put up some resistance.
However, they also seemed somewhat powerless against the ants' unstoppable advance.
In the period following the fallout trap, the horned beetles were slaughtered in a frenzy.
The horned beetles, which originally numbered over 20,000, were instantly routed, with nearly half of them killed or injured.
At this moment, Zhao Zian clearly knew that he could not allow the horned worms to recover from the chaos.
Once they stop being chaotic, their numerical advantage will immediately become apparent, and the ants will have no chance of winning.
Therefore, during this period, under Zhao Zian's orders, the ants basically attacked recklessly, even if it meant getting injured themselves, they would do their best to kill their opponents.
He's practically exhausted all his methods now. If he still can't win after these few moves, then he'll really be in trouble.
He had one last crazy move to make.
If you really can't beat them, then go to the bees' territory on the left, provoke those terrifying bees, and start a three-way battle.
A glimmer of hope might be found in the chaos, but the worst-case scenario is mutual destruction.
Fortunately, he didn't have to resort to this last resort.
In the later stages of the battle, more than half of the ants were killed or wounded.
The enemy, on the other hand, was mostly wiped out.
Of the original 20,000 or even nearly 30,000 horned beetles, only about 6,000 or 7,000 remain.
There are only about 1,000 worker ants left, compared to more than 6,000 originally.
As for the soldier ants, Zhao Zi'an has protected them quite well; originally there were more than 500, now there are more than 300.
The price is that worker ants often have to take the damage for soldier ants.
Sometimes when a soldier ant is knocked over by a horn beetle, the surrounding worker ants immediately rush to its rescue. In such cases, several worker ants often die in order to save just one soldier ant.
However, there's no other way; if production proceeds normally, one soldier ant is equivalent to ten worker ants.
The death of a few worker ants can save one soldier ant; it's no big deal.
As for the queen ant, she really wasn't very good at fighting. Halfway through the fight, she was surrounded and bitten by a lot of beetles.
Its wings were bitten and torn, and it couldn't fly at all.
Zhao Zian was almost scared to death. He had already turned all the other queen ants into food to produce more ants. If this last queen ant died, then everything would be over.
Startled, Zhao Zian quickly called the surrounding ants to help, and thankfully they were saved.
Even though it had been blessed by divine power and evolved, with a thick shell, it was still bitten to shreds and almost lost its ability to fight.
Moreover, Zhao Zian was too afraid to let it fight anymore; it looked intimidating, but in reality, it was just so-so.
The two specialized ants were also seriously injured. They had been at the forefront the whole time, and they were the ones who carried the injured queen back to her home.
During the rescue, he was surrounded and bitten many times.
One of them was particularly badly injured; its shell was bitten through, and several beetles almost crawled inside and tore it apart.
He also lost a leg and fell to the ground on the battlefield.
Zhao Zian also told it to go back and rest.
This is a fierce general.
The other specialized one was the one that pushed the rocks. It spent a lot of time pushing rocks, so it had less time to fight and took less damage.
Later on, most of the remaining enemies began to flee, and very few continued to resist.
Even those who put up a resistance were quickly wiped out and couldn't cause much of a stir.
Everyone understands the principle of beating a drowning dog.
Basically, once a unit starts to rout, chasing after them will definitely result in a large number of kills.
The saying "Don't pursue a cornered enemy" is not suitable for this kind of situation.
