Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 170: Attack

"It's Alan, he's back!" Lucy swept her tactical telescope across the mountain and said happily when she saw a figure approaching quickly.

Hubble spat, and the smile on his face subsided.

When Alan returned to the slope, a few sergeants immediately surrounded him and asked about the situation of the nest. Alan said what he knew and drew a rough diagram of the sand with his fingers.

"Judging from the space in the hill, there are probably only three to four hundred ordinary knife ants, while the number of personal guard black ants is around thirteen to fourteen. With the addition of an ant queen, I think we need to be careful."

Alan sat down and Lucy handed him the marching kettle. He took a sip and looked at the other sergeants, "What do you think?"

"It's just a bunch of big ants. We'll charge in through a few passages. We'll just have to surround them and kill them." Hubble said as he pointed at the entrances to the passageways.

Sergeant Ye Feng shook his head and said, "That's not right. There are many branches of the Saber Ant Nest. Even if we attack at the same time, we might not be able to achieve the effect of encirclement and killing. On the contrary, we might be stopped and killed by these dangerous species that are familiar with the passageways. We will fight our own battles and be broken down by each of us."

The sergeant was an oriental, and his mind was meticulous and cautious. But hearing him deny his tactics, Hubble was very unhappy. He immediately snorted. Perhaps because he had received Kejess's "profound" reminder, he did not immediately explode as before and chose to remain silent.

"Sergeant Ye's words are not unreasonable. In my opinion, the target of our attack should still be the queen ant." Sergeant Maud muttered as his finger landed on the queen area 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 colony will." In this kind of group will, the queen ant was the main body. Once the queen died, the will of the colony would also collapse. At that time, the saber ants would be headless and fall into chaos. Without any need for us to make a move, it will naturally dissipate. They won't be absorbed into the new colony until they hit another colony. "

"This is a conversation between non-commissioned officers. You don't have the right to speak as a soldier." Hubble said coldly.

Several non-commissioned officers and some soldiers nearby cast dissatisfied gazes at him.

"What Lucy said makes sense," said Allen coolly. "Everyone should work together. If a soldier has any objections, he must have the virtue of listening as a commander. What do you think?"

Ye Feng was the first to say, "Of course, if I don't listen to my subordinates' advice, I will only become a stubborn person."

Hubble was so bored that he smacked his lips and stopped talking.

Alan looked at Lucy and said, "What other suggestions do you have?"

Of these people, he knew Lucy best. On that day in the death arena, only two people could come up with many schemes. It was just that Alan went straight to the point and chose the simplest and most brutal method.

The current situation was completely different from before.

"It's simple," said Lucy, not humbly. "Since the target is set, then the only thing left is to sneak in and kill the enemy. In terms of sneaking in, Alan has already figured out the acupoint leading to the queen. That shouldn't be difficult. The difficulty is in killing the enemy. I can imagine that when we enter the queen's nest, it will definitely call for knife ants to protect us."

"If many Saber Ants block it, I believe that it will be an extremely arduous battle." Lucy moved her finger to the space outside the queen's nest and said, "My suggestion is that one team be responsible for killing the queen and her personal guards, while the others set up defenses in this area to stop the knife ants coming to their rescue. As long as they persist until the queen is killed, the knife ants will dissipate and the nest will no longer be 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 take action."

He clearly meant to give Alan the job of killing the queen ant. Of course, it wasn't easy to obtain this credit. Putting aside the queen ant, the dozen or so black ants were a huge problem. This was also one of the reasons why he handed the killing queen to Allen's team. Not to mention Allen himself, all of his subordinates, Lucy, William, and Bloy, were at the level of sergeants.

It was no exaggeration to say that of the six small teams, Allen's team was the strongest. With them taking action, the task would be much easier to complete.

But someone disagreed.

Hubble said unhappily, "This is really funny. Why should Sergeant Allen's team take on the good job of killing the queen? With him scouting the nest, then I'll go in and take a look. Isn't this good thing going to fall on me too?"

"Sergeant Hubble, this is not the time to discuss." Ye Feng frowned and said, "The most important thing in front of us is to bring the ant nest as soon as possible. There is no need to discuss about these branches."

"Since that's the case, then let's split up and work alone. Anyway, I won't take advantage of this brat for nothing." Hubble stood up and said to the other two non-commissioned officers, "What do you think? Are you going to work for someone else, or are you going to fight for yourself?"

After some hesitation, the two sergeants lowered their heads and left with Hubble.

"These idiots!" Mo De cursed softly.

"It's just human nature." Alan shook his head.

Ye Feng said, "Then let's also take action. Don't let Hubble and the others get the upper hand."

Alan frowned and said, "Wait."

Maud asked, "What's wrong?"

"I've alerted the Saber Ants when I came out of that passageway just now. I have to inform Hubble and the others not to act recklessly. In the end, they will move with us." Alan said as he looked at Naz.

Nazi nodded and said, "I'll go inform Sergeant Hubble."

"Hubble," said Maud, "I don't care about him."

Allen shook his head and said, "In the end, he is a colleague. It is only right for us to share information."

The night darkened.

"Sergeant Hubble, what do you say?"

The three teams dived to the left side of the mountain that Allen had mentioned. Hubble looked at the two dim red-lit caves and gritted his teeth. "There's nothing else to say," he said. "Of course, let's move immediately. Are we still waiting for Allen and the others to split up? Besides, it's going to be dawn soon! Let's go."

At dawn, the knife ants would become active, making it even harder to kill them.

Under Hubble's orders, his men climbed up the cliff nimbly. The other two teams followed suit. Hubble climbed into one cave and pointed at the other entrance. The other three teams drilled into different tunnels.

By the time Nazi arrived, Hubble and the others had already left cleanly. The soldiers could only return helplessly. After meeting up with the team a moment later, Nazi reported, "They're on their way."

"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?"

"No, let's attack from the front and restrain the ant colony. Let's see if we can give Hubble and the others a chance." Alan said.

Maud glanced at him and said, "Then I'll give the credit to Hubble for nothing."

"If everyone snatches credit and loses their cooperation in the war, how can they win?" Alan said indifferently.

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Just do as Alan said."

Maud shrugged and said, "Well, you're all broad-minded good people, so let's take advantage of Hubble and the others this time."

Immediately, the three teams rushed towards the entrance of the nest. Allen's team was the strongest and rushed to the front. Ye Feng and Mo De, on the other hand, were left and right, lagging behind by a little, forming an arrow formation. Before the arrow could pierce into the nest, the sound of gunshots and shouts could be heard. Alan frowned, knowing that Hubble and the others were in trouble. He didn't dare to stop and sprinted with all his might. He was the first to charge into the nest with his left spear and right knife.

Originally, he thought that he would be attacked by knife ants, but when he entered the nest, he discovered that the abdomen of a mountain that could accommodate forty to fifty knife ants was very clean, and those knife ants did not know where they had gone. Gunshots rang out in the depths of the ant nest, and the sound gradually grew louder, as if a fierce battle was going on endlessly. Allen looked at the two sergeants behind him, Mo De and Ye Feng, and made a hand gesture. The three teams immediately went deeper to explore the situation.

"Motherf*cker!" 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 their machine guns wildly. Only then did they sweep away the saber ants. Hubble stuck his head out and looked. 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, "This kid Alan must have lied to me. This is not the acupoint leading to the queen ant. It's clearly a trap, this sinister kid!"

It turned out that not long after their squad 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 it was after Allen left. The Saber Ant was attracted by the commotion caused by the fight between him and his personal guard and lingered around. The Hubble squads didn't send out scouts and went inside. In the end, he failed to pick it up cheaply, causing the knife ant to block the passageway.

Hubble cursed, but he had no choice but to fight the knife ant.

Allen's three squads went deep into the nest and discovered that the knife ants were gathered in one direction, knowing that they were attracted by the Hubble three squads. "Ellen, get rid of the queen ant. Sergeant Ye and I will help the three idiots."

"Be careful." Without hesitation, Alan gestured for his team to leave. Following a path into the abdominal space connected to the queen's nest, a black ant guard rushed over with open teeth and claws as soon as he exited the path.

Allen greeted him with a thunderous rumble of his left-handed machine gun, pouring all the bullets into the black ant's body. The bullet swept through the swarthy 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 charged forward. The bullet could not penetrate the gap between the bug nodes, so it was difficult for it to be seriously injured.

Just as they were about to collide, the black ant had already swung its sickle foot towards Allen's head. Allen threw away his machine gun, wielded his saber in both hands, and pulled out a grey moonlight to brazenly meet him!
