Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Judging from the way they move, this group of special-looking termites is obviously a "special force" sent by the other party to carry out sneak attacks in winter. They use special methods to find the vents of the ant nest, break into it, and kill all the ants.

In winter, this elite group of termites can break into the ant nests that are unable to complete their assembly due to heavy snow covering the ground one by one to carry out massacres.

If it is an ordinary ant colony, it is indeed possible for them to become severely weakened after a long period of hunting activities during the winter. Even if the ants are controlled by a single queen, it is really possible for them to complete the task. Decapitation of the ant colony!

However, Zero's ant colony is not included in this list.

Obviously, they cannot understand the existence pattern of the ant colony controlled by Zero. As early as after the battle with the termites, Zero ordered the ants to complete the underground passages connecting each ant colony as quickly as possible.

This group of elite termites wanted to use this method to achieve the purpose of killing or even destroying the ant colony, but they undoubtedly made a mistake.

Although both are social insects, zero ant colonies and termites have completely different development models.

According to Zero's speculation, there should be only one queen controlling the entire termite colony. This is a reasonable guess based on all currently known information.

This can well explain why termites cannot rush out of the forest in large numbers. It must be because their queen's control ability is insufficient. Once termites leave its control area in large numbers, things will happen that it cannot accept.

And this can also explain why all termites have obvious cooperative behavior, because they are indeed under unified command!

At the same time, this can also explain why this group of termite "special forces" apparently behaved in a panic when facing the ants in the second nest. Obviously, this was not because they were panicking, but behind them. The queen ant fell into a trance.

However, there are many loopholes in this speculation, including why the termite army has reached such an alarming scale, how the termite queen controls them, and even where this strange termite "special force" comes from and why it can cross that line. Invisible threads remain unaffected, and Zero is clueless.

But he guessed that something strange must have happened to this termite race, causing some kind of change in them, allowing them to do this kind of thing that seemed unimaginable to Zero.

But these questions are not important at the moment. After Zero destroys their entire group, perhaps all doubts will have an answer.

The most important thing now is to keep these bold and strange termites in the nest!

Zero immediately began to mobilize a large number of nearby ants. In order to prevent them from realizing that something was wrong and retreating, the ant colonies near the two destroyed ant nests were not mobilized. They would become the vanguard of delaying this special group of termites, and they were also the bait.

They were responsible for resisting and delaying the attack before Zero completed the gathering of his army, and after that, they were responsible for leading the group of termites into the trap set by Zero.

In Zero's field of vision, among the ant nests near the forest on the south bank of the river, a large number of dark ants quickly gathered in the same direction along the interconnected underground passages. Zero selected a nest as a trap, and at the same time moved toward this nest. All ant nests that are directly connected on all sides will increase a large number of ant colonies.

This number soon exceeded 100,000, which was already several times the number of termites that invaded the nest. However, according to Zero's observation, the combat effectiveness of this group of termites was very strong. He needed at least ten times the numerical advantage to be sure to stay. they.

While zero pocket formations were being deployed, the termite "special forces" were also frantically killing all the ants they saw.

In just a few hours, they completed the cleaning of more than twenty ant nests around them, and their own losses were basically zero.

In the end, this group of termites was not satisfied with the current killing efficiency. They actually started to divide their forces and swarmed from the invading ant nest in all directions along the underground passages built by the ants.

I don’t know if their commander is sure that they will not encounter a large-scale counterattack by the ant colony or they are confident that under this small and dark ground, this group of invading termites can defeat any enemy. They have already discovered the space between the ant nests. The passages are connected to each other. Zero believes that if their commander has a certain amount of wisdom, he will understand what this means, but the termites still have no intention of retreating.

This gave Zero another doubt. Why could the other party come up with a winter sneak attack plan, but couldn't see through such a simple situation?

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't come up with an answer, but the division of troops by the termites caused some trouble for Zero's original plan.

He was originally planning to introduce these termites into his pocket and complete the battle, but now the group of termites have spread out unscrupulously, waving the butcher's knife at the ants.

Zero's plan was aborted as they changed. He had to quickly change his plan and split the colony of more than 100,000 ants that had already assembled in the nearby ant nest into two. One of the groups was about 100,000 people, and they went directly to the nest where the termites originally scattered to kill. , the other ants began to divide their troops again, forming a team of 20,000, and chased and intercepted the intruders who were also divided into small groups.

At the same time, since the plan had gone bankrupt, Zero no longer needed bait. He quickly ordered the ants still staying in place to join the army, leaving only a small number of ants to serve as Zero's vision.

This move caused the termites' next attack after the division to miss.

At the same time, the ant army quickly entered their nests and attacked them with an absolute superior force.

This type of termite is more aggressive and can kill an ant in just a few bites.

But there were too many ants, and it was difficult for two fists to defeat four. Finally, after paying a lot of casualties for the first time, they seemed to begin to realize that they might be destroyed here, and began to return to the way they came, rather panicking. .

However, there are already a large number of ant colonies waiting for them quietly on their way.

The place where the ant army is located can be regarded as a hub leading to the nearby ant nest. If the termites do not plan to find the ground exit covered by dozens of centimeters of snow, then they must pass through here if they want to exit the ant nest.

Ling's guess was correct. Although this group of termites had the ability to withstand the cold for some reason, they did not choose to tear up the snow layer from the ground and escape.

On the one hand, this is because compared to the relatively spacious underground passages that were specially dug to keep warm and ensure safety, the entrance to the ground from the ant nest is much smaller. Once the termites make such a choice, their escape efficiency will decrease. Very low.

On the other hand, it is because even if they are not afraid of the severe cold and want to escape from the ground at this time, they must clear the snow covering the ant nest.

This is not a task that can be completed in a short time, and once they make such a choice, it is equivalent to digging their own grave. The ants can calmly gather an army to attack them from the direction behind them.
