Perhaps the queen ant hiding deep in the Dark Worm Valley finally realized that the stalemate between the ant army and the lord army in the cave has been a stalemate, which is a disguised form of consumption for the ghost-striped red ants, and even has
It may significantly affect the timing of the next ant outbreak.
Therefore, among the soldier ant colonies in the cave, the number of giant soldier ants participating in the battle began to increase, and the number of ordinary ghost-striped soldier ants participating in the battle was relatively reduced.
Moreover, the ghost-striped soldier ants no longer have a life-threatening fighting style. A few days ago, they were like, "No matter what the enemy forces on the opposite side are like, they must die in front of the battle anyway."
Now, they are starting a tug-of-war under the leadership of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, waiting for an opportunity to inflict some serious damage to the lord's army when facing off against them.
In fact, the soldier ants executed the tactics of the ghost-striped queen ant quite successfully.
Compared to a few days ago, more seriously wounded soldiers have been carried off the battlefield recently.
But for Surdak, he hopes to see more giant soldier ants, because every time giant ghost-marked soldier ants appear, it means that he can harvest some magic patterns of life.
Every time giant ghost-patterned soldier ants appeared, Samira and Kali Decker were able to appear in time and hunt them down. With their own strength, they killed more than half of the giant soldier ants.
In fact, the Lord Army is not in a hurry to invade the Dark Worm Valley. They hope to eliminate more ghost-marked red ants in this cave.
Fighting in this passage can allow elite forces to be more concentrated.
In addition, the various lord armies are not very interested in occupying the Dark Worm Valley. They hope to take this opportunity to harvest more Warcraft materials.
This kind of relying on war to obtain wealth has become rare in the Bena Province in recent years.
Although Surdak has been strictly controlling the total strength of the Lords Army, the Alliance Lords Army has continued to grow in combat effectiveness during this winter. When December entered, the original 50,000 Alliance Lords Army here has grown to
Eighty thousand.
Originally, each of the merchant groups that followed the army had the right to operate a single product, which at least allowed these merchant groups to make money.
But now, a trading market has formed near the camp. Businessmen come to buy magic materials every day, and the bidding for the goods has become very fierce.
Until Andrew led a group of construct knights to repel these ghost-patterned soldier ants, the soldiers of the Lord Army stood on the ledge at the exit of the cave on the other side, looking at the clusters of giant mushrooms under their feet, many of which were colorful.
, there are even some mushrooms with dark red fluorescence.
Almost everyone was stunned by this magnificent scenery...
Those giant mushrooms were so exaggerated that they were actually taller and stronger than the trees in the forest outside. The ghost-striped soldier ants were forced to retreat by Andrew's Constructed Knights, and the Lord Army finally occupied the cave.
The ghost-patterned soldier ants swarmed up from all directions, but they failed to regain control of the cave under the joint attack of the construct knights.
Then the heavy armored infantry regiment built fortifications at the entrance of the cave and set up crossbows against the cave entrance, thus completely occupying the cave.
As long as ghost-marked red ants step into the entrance of the cave, the first thing they will face is the giant crossbow arrows of the Crossbow. Now that Surdak has a large number of magic crossbow arrows bought from the imperial capital, he will not use them on the battlefield.
Don't be stingy with these consumables, as long as you can pick up the corpses of those ghost-marked red ants after victory, it will be a sure profit.
But here, the heavy armored infantry soldiers and archers, led by senior officers, actually occupied the exit from the cave to the Dark Worm Valley.
However, entering the mushroom forest of the Dark Worm Valley, the Lord's Army has been dispatched five times in a row recently. Each time, they hurriedly retreated to the cave's defenses after paying a heavy price.
The main reason is that there are a large number of ghost-patterned flying ants in the Dark Worm Valley. These flying ants are extremely fast. Only a few second-level experts under Surdak can deal with them. Other warriors have no way to deal with these flying ants.
The weird flying speed is helpless.
As long as a lord army enters the mushroom forest in the Dark Worm Valley, these ghostly patterned flying ants will attack like crazy.
Although the heavy armored infantry were wearing heavy armor, they still had no way to deal with these ghost-marked flying ants, and the other lords could only passively take the beating.
Therefore, during the following period, the Lord Army made no achievements after occupying the cave. They just guarded the entrance of the cave, waiting for batches of ghost-marked soldier ants to rush up and kill them in one fell swoop.
December is the season of snowflakes, and the mushrooms in the Dark Worm Valley don't seem to be afraid of the severe cold. However, those ghost-striped worker ants finally chose to crawl into the ant nest to escape the severe cold at low temperatures.
The lord army that occupied the cave was finally able to dispatch armies one after another into the circular valley when a heavy snowfall almost froze the Dark Worm Valley.
In fact, this place is larger than Surdak expected, and the entire valley is covered with giant mushrooms.
The main residents here are probably these ghost-striped red ants. They are usually accustomed to eating these mushroom trees. Many ghost-striped worker ants sneak out to collect some food in this severe cold environment, and then return through the secret exit.
Crypt.
The real ant nests are in the southwest area of the valley. Some soldiers found the entrances to the ant nests. However, most of the ant nest entrances have been sealed with a clay composed of saliva mixed with gravel. Many of the entrances have been covered with clay.
The snow is nowhere to be found.
The Lord Army searched around in this dark insect valley, but they did not find any use value in these mushroom trees. Probably only the ghost-striped worker ants would eat them.
In the Dark Worm Valley, after the valley is completely frozen in winter, it is filled with deathly silence.
Surdak found many aged mushroom trees, which looked more like hard firewood.
Occasionally, there would be a roc flying across the sky. Whenever this happened, the Lord Army soldiers would show caution towards it.
Surdak didn't expect that the Lord's army could occupy the entire Dark Worm Valley so easily because of the weather. However, this time Surdak did not order to continue the pursuit. He explored the valley for several days.
The discovered cave entrances were marked one after another, and then Suldak began to gradually gather the troops, letting the troops take turns to hold on to the cave leading to the outside.
During this period, there were also several battles in which ghost-striped red ants braved the severe cold to attack the lord's army garrison.
When the battle just started, the ghost-striped soldier ants looked very brave. After they stayed in the Dark Worm Valley for half a day, the cold wind in the valley had frozen their limbs hard, and even walking seemed very difficult...
