"It's Allen. He's back!" Lucy scanned the mountain with her tactical binoculars and said happily when she saw a figure approaching quickly.
Hubble spat out a mouthful of phlegm and the smile on his face faded.
When Allen returned to the slope, a few non-commissioned officers immediately surrounded him and asked about the situation of the nest. Allen said everything he knew one by one and used his fingers to draw a rough diagram on the sand on the ground to explain.
"Judging from the space in the belly of the mountain, there are probably only three to four hundred ordinary knife ants. There are about thirteen or fourteen personal guard black ants, plus a queen ant. I think we have to be careful. "
Allen sat down and Lucy handed him the marching kettle. He took a sip and looked at the other non-commissioned officers. "What do you think?"
"It's just some big ants. Let's attack from a few passageways and surround them." Hubble said as he pointed at the entrances of several passageways.
Sergeant Ye Feng shook his head and said, "That's not right. There are many branches in the Saber Ant Nest. Even if we attack at the same time, we might not be able to surround and kill them. On the contrary, we might be intercepted and killed by these dangerous species that are familiar with the passageways. We will fight on our own and be defeated one by one in the end. "
This sergeant was an Oriental, meticulous and cautious. However, Hubble was very unhappy to hear him deny his tactics. He snorted. Perhaps it was because he had already been "deeply" reminded by Coggess before, but he did not immediately make a move as he did before and chose to remain silent.
"Sergeant Ye's words are not unreasonable. In my opinion, our target should still be the queen." Sergeant Maud muttered to himself. Finally, his finger landed on the area of the queen that Allen had drawn.
The remaining two non-commissioned officers nodded in agreement.
Lucy interrupted, "There is an invisible connection between the queen and the colony. In fact, the colony has a collective will. In this collective will, the queen is the main body. Once the queen dies, the will of the colony will also collapse. At that time, the saber ants will fall into chaos. There's no need for us to do anything. They'll disperse by themselves. They won't be absorbed as members of the new nest until they bump into other colonies. "
"This is a conversation between non-commissioned officers. There's no place for a soldier like you to speak." Hubble said coldly.
A few sergeants and some soldiers nearby looked at him with dissatisfaction.
Allen said indifferently, "Lucy's words are not without reason. Moreover, everyone is moving together, so we should naturally work together. If the soldiers had any opinions, as the commanding officer, he must have the virtue of listening. What do you think? "
Ye Feng was the first to reply, "Of course. If you don't have the tolerance to listen to your subordinates' suggestions, you will only become a stubborn person."
Hubble was snubbed. He smacked his lips and stopped talking.
Allen looked at Lucy and said, "What other suggestions do you have?"
Among these people, he was the one who knew Lucy's abilities the best. That day in the death arena, she could come up with many strategies with just the two of them. It was just that Allen went straight to the point and chose the simplest and most brutal method.
The situation now was very different from that day.
Lucy didn't decline modestly and said, "It's very simple. All that was left was to sneak in and kill the enemy. In terms of sneaking in, Allen had already figured out the acupoints leading to the queen, so it shouldn't be difficult. The difficulty lies in killing enemies. I can imagine that when we enter the queen's nest, it will definitely call for knife ants to protect itself. "
"If we are blocked by many knife ants, I believe it will be a difficult battle." Lucy moved her finger to the space outside the queen's nest and said, "My suggestion is that a team of people be responsible for killing the queen and her personal guards, while the other teams set up defenses in this area to intercept the knife ants that came to rescue them. As long as we persist until the queen is killed, the knife ants will disperse and this nest will no longer pose a threat. "
"Then, who will be responsible for killing the queen?" Sergeant Ye Feng asked.
Sergeant Maud looked at Allen and said, "Since Sergeant Allen discovered the queen, they should naturally take action."
His meaning was obvious. He wanted to give Allen the credit of killing the queen. Of course, it wasn't easy to obtain this credit. Putting aside the queen, the dozen or so black ants were a huge problem. This was also one of the reasons why he handed over the killing of the queen to Allen's team. Not to mention Allen himself, even the three people below him, Lucy, William, and Broy, were all non-commissioned officers.
It was no exaggeration to say that Allen's team was the strongest of the six squads. With them taking action, it would be much easier to complete the mission.
But someone disagreed.
Hubble said unhappily, "That's funny. Why should Sergeant Allen's team take on the good job of killing the queen ant? If he goes to scout the nest, then I'll go in and take a look. Won't this good thing fall on my head? "
"Sergeant Hubble, now is not the time to discuss it." Ye Feng frowned and said, "The most important thing right now is to carry the nest as soon as possible. There's no need to discuss these trivial matters."
"Since that's the case, then let's split up and do it alone. Anyway, I won't let this brat off the hook for nothing." Hubble stood up and said to the other two sergeants, "What do you think? Do you want to work for someone else or for yourself?"
After a moment of hesitation, the two sergeants lowered their heads and left with Hubble.
"These idiots!" Mo De cursed in a low voice.
"It's just human nature." Allen shook his head.
Ye Feng said, "Then let's move as well. Don't let Hubble and the others take the lead."
Allen frowned and said, "Wait."
"What's wrong?" Mo De asked.
"I've already alarmed the knife ants when I came out of that passageway just now. I have to inform Hubble and the others not to act rashly. In the end, they will act with us." Allen looked at Nazi.
Nazi nodded and said, "I'll inform Sergeant Hubble."
Mord said, "That birdman Hubble, I don't care about him."
Allen shook his head and said, "We're colleagues after all. It's only right to share information."
The night deepened.
"Sergeant Hubble, what do you say?"
The three squads sneaked to the left side of the mountain that Allen had mentioned. Hubble looked at the two dim red caves above and gritted his teeth. "What else is there to say? Of course, we have to act immediately. Don't tell me we have to wait for Allen and the others to divide it up? Besides, it's going to be dawn if we don't hurry up! Let's go. "
At dawn, the knife ants would become active, and it would be even more difficult to kill them.
Under Hubble's orders, his soldiers nimbly climbed up the rock wall. The other two teams followed suit. Hubble climbed up a cave by himself and pointed at another entrance. The remaining three teams entered different passageways.
By the time Nazi arrived, Hubble and the others had already left, and the soldiers could only return helplessly. A moment later, he met up with the team and reported, "They're starting to move."
"Then we can't just wait here." Sergeant Maud said.
Ye Feng suggested, "Since Hubble and the others chose the left side of the nest as the entry point, how about we go to the right side?"
"No, let's attack from the front and restrain the ant colony. Let's see if we can create an opportunity for Hubble and the others." Allen said.
Maud glanced at him and said, "That'll give the credit to Hubble for nothing."
"If everyone snatches the credit in the war and loses their cooperation, how can we win?" Allen said indifferently.
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Let's do as Allen says."
Maud shrugged and said, "Well, you're all broad-minded good people. Then let Hubble and the others take advantage of it this time."
Immediately, the three teams rushed towards the entrance to the nest. Allen's team was the strongest, and he rushed to the front. Ye Feng and Mo De's teams occupied the left and right sides, a little behind, forming an arrow formation. Before the arrow could pierce into the nest, gunshots and shouts suddenly rang out from the nest. Allen frowned, knowing that Hubble and the others were in trouble. He didn't dare to stop and ran with all his might. He was the first to rush into the nest with his left spear and right saber.
He originally thought that he would encounter an attack from a saber ant, but when he entered the nest, he discovered that the belly of a mountain that could accommodate forty to fifty saber ants was very clean. He didn't know where those saber ants had gone. Gunshots rang out continuously from the depths of the nest, and the sound grew louder and louder, as if there was an endless battle. Allen looked at Sergeant Mo De and Sergeant Ye Feng behind him and gestured. The three teams immediately went deeper to find out what was going on.
"Damn it!" Hubble rolled, dodging the sharp forefeet of a few knife ants, and rolled behind a stalagmite. The warriors on both sides rushed forward and swept the knife ants back with their machine guns. Hubble poked his head out and saw that the passageway was densely packed with knife ants. The giant ants were so dense that they almost blocked the passageway, preventing them from entering.
Hubble cursed, "Allen must have lied to me. This is not an acupoint leading to the queen. It's clearly a trap. This sinister brat!"
It turned out that not long after their team entered the passageway Allen had passed through, they were attacked by knife ants. Hubble thought that Allen had given them false information, but he didn't know that after Allen left, the knife ants were attracted by the commotion caused by the battle between him and his personal guards and lingered nearby. Hubble's teams didn't send out scouts and drilled inside. In the end, he didn't get lucky and was blocked by the knife ants in the passageway.
Hubble cursed, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight with the knife ants.
After Allen's three squads went deep into the nest, they discovered that the knife ants were gathered in one place. They knew that they were attracted by Hubble's three squads. Mo De shouted, "Allen, you guys go kill the queen. Sergeant Ye and I will help those three idiots. "
"Be careful." Allen didn't hesitate either. He gestured and led his team to leave. He followed a passageway into the mountain belly space connected to the queen's nest. Just as he exited the passageway, his eyes darkened, and a black ant guard rushed over with his fangs and claws bared.
Allen greeted him, his left cell phone gun rumbling, pouring all the bullets into the black ant's body. The bullet swept through the dark insect shell. Although it was not futile, it only swept out a shallow bullet hole, leaving behind a very limited amount of insect blood. The black ant rushed forward, and the bullet could not enter the gap between its nodes, making it difficult for it to be seriously injured.
