Chapter 76: Clash with the Big-headed Ants (2)
Since the start of the battle, reinforcements from the Big-headed Ants had been pouring into the battlefield, trying to break the encirclement and rescue their trapped vanguard forces.
As a result, the swarm’s units that had flanked the Big-headed Ants’ vanguard now faced a pincer attack, coming under immense pressure.
However, as the swarm’s encirclement tightened, it freed up a significant number of troops. Following Luo Wen’s commands, these units rapidly repositioned to support their beleaguered allies at the rear of the encirclement.
With the reinforcements bolstering the swarm’s rear, the situation, which had been on the verge of collapse, stabilized once again.
Deprived of the cover and protection provided by their giant combat units, the Worker Ants of the swarm fully utilized their formic acid sprays, devastating the Big-headed Ant vanguard. To expedite the victory, Luo Wen even ordered the Transport Bugs stationed on the flanks to join the fray.
The forces hidden within the Big-headed Ant nest were astonishing. As time passed, the number of reinforcements surged, soon reaching a million. The swarm’s interception units suffered heavy casualties, forcing Luo Wen to deploy a portion of the Worker Ants to unleash a round of long-range saturation attacks, temporarily repelling the Big-headed Ant reinforcements.
This brief reprieve allowed the swarm’s defensive units to catch their breath. They gnawed on the carcasses around them, replenishing their energy.
Within the encirclement, the battle was nearing its end, with only tens of thousands of Big-headed Ants stubbornly resisting.
Unfortunately for them, their resistance was futile.
