Chapter 91: Tranquility
As the number of new Queen Ants gradually increased, the swarm’s population grew at an even faster rate.
In just over two hundred days, the swarm had recovered to its pre-war scale. Bases that had been abandoned during the war were restored and rebuilt.
Several armies resumed their expeditions in batches. In addition to the original four armies heading east, west, north, and central, a new southern army was also established.
It could be said that the swarm was now advancing in all directions, with no natural barriers or external forces capable of halting its progress.
Perhaps the war with the Yellow Earth Ant Legion had already touched the ceiling of this region’s combat power. In the days that followed, the swarm faced little resistance, encountering no formidable enemies.
Ant nests like those of the Big-headed Ants, which had once seemed imposing, were now nothing more than minor obstacles to the swarm. When confronted with the exploratory armies, they couldn’t even stir up a ripple.
The swarm’s military strategy was now remarkably straightforward.
For smaller colonies, like those of the Black Ants, there wasn’t much to say—just directly overwhelm their nests. A single exploratory squad could handle them effortlessly.
For larger colonies, such as the Red Ants, which numbered in the millions, multiple exploratory squads would combine their forces to deal with them. Once gathered, they would openly engage in battle at the entrance of the opposing nest.
