Chapter 73 Luke's Army

Generally speaking, the marching speed of the army will not be calculated by the fastest unit.

After all, the army is an overall system, and it cannot function normally without any part.

The fast-moving soldiers cannot always leave the slow-moving logistics soldiers behind.

However, this rule does not work for Luke's army.

His army is all materialized. The first advantage is that they can be realized at any time, and they can be thrown away at any time. Anyway, they will disappear when the time comes.

The second advantage is that there is no need for logistical supplies at all.

Avatars only exist for 10 or 30 minutes, and they don't need to eat to replenish their stamina, and they don't need medical units to restore life.

The third advantage is that physical objects don't need Luke to start a pep rally or hand out rewards to boost morale.

Their morale is always high, and they are never afraid when they fight. Unless Luke orders them, they will only fight to the death.

Even if these advantages are not counted, in terms of marching speed alone, the marching speed of Luke's physical army has already taken the biggest advantage.

Specifically, their marching speed is only related to one factor, and that is Luke's own speed.

As fast as he can run, so can his army.

Before, his movement speed could only reach 5 meters per second at most, but now he has an extra soldier ant warrior with a speed of 15 meters per second.

Converted to a speed of 54 kilometers per hour.

Don't think this is slow.

You know, in the world where Luke lives, most modern mechanized troops can only reach a marching speed of 10 kilometers per hour.

And his current enemy in this world, the marching speed of the Fifteen Ton Ant army of the Red Fire Clan, couldn't even reach one tenth of this data.

Then after the materialized army materialized, they still had a marching speed that was several times higher than that of the enemy.

The reason why this can be done is that apart from the two factors of no need for logistical supplies and high morale, Luke also has a secret weapon, which is his colorful iron wire centipede transport vehicle.

That's right, before the war started, Luke redefined his colorful iron thread centipede. Compared with the positioning of ordinary assault weapons, the positioning of the transport vehicle is obviously more suitable for its role and special ability.

Let the worker ants make a little modification, and the materials that a colorful iron wire centipede can carry can exceed the materials that 10 ordinary worker ants can carry.

Moreover, after it is full of supplies, it will not slow down like ordinary worker ants, and can still march at a high speed of 3 meters per second (that is, 18 kilometers per hour).

This marching speed is 7 to 8 times faster than the marching speed of the enemy on the opposite side. As long as there is enough time, these embodied troops can shake the opposite side so that they can't even see the taillights.

These advantages are why Luke has the confidence to be alone, no, a human-faced spider, and an army composed of thousands of thousands of ants.

However, he still has too little source power in his hands now. With the ant egg reserve, there are only less than 2 source power points in total, which is not enough to support a slightly larger battle, let alone the entire battle.

Therefore, he is not in a hurry to fight the enemy now.

Dragging the enemy's main force, cutting off the enemy's wings, eating the enemy's logistics force to supply himself, and supporting the war with war, this is the strategy he is implementing.

Spend 2 or 300 points of source power to form a small team consisting of about 10 soldier ants and about 40 worker ants, frantically launching a suicidal attack on the enemy's army.

Although such squads can't set off any real waves and will be killed, their role is far greater than the damage they cause to the enemy.

Not counting those psychological shocks where there is no way to calculate the damage, just delaying the enemy's time again and again is worth the fare.

Luke had only expected so much from the squads he sent out, and they did a good job.

He sent a total of twenty small teams in the first wave, successfully delaying the march of the army sent by the Red Fire Clan to conquer him for half an hour.

而在开战之前，他就另外派出40多支由3到5只兵蚁，10到20只工蚁以及1或者2只七彩铁线蜈蚣组成的偷袭小队，专门用来偷袭敌人后勤队。

During the half hour, the sneak attack team successfully brought back more than 380 ant eggs, 640 ant slaves, and 124 soldier ants.

These gains are really not too much, that is, they are equal to the source of his expenditure.

But for the enemy, the difference between one plus and one minus is huge.

Not to mention the doubled loss, just the time delay can make the enemy extremely painful.

Time is precisely what Luke lacks the most, and supplies are second.

One success gave Luke a taste of the sweetness, and he became more and more determined to implement this not-so-upright but effective guerrilla warfare plan.

The second wave of detachments was quickly dispatched, and was manifested in different locations as he rode on the soldier ant warriors and moved quickly.

This time the number was larger and the division was more scattered. All positions in the enemy's formation, including the forward, center, left and right flanks, and rear, all had suicide attack squads, which dealt a huge blow to their soldiers.

At the same time, Luke, the instigator, did not continue to release the squad around the conquest army, but changed to a soldier ant warrior to touch the enemy's base camp - the ant nest of the hunter's cabin.

In fact, this place is not far from his own Blue Silver Grass camp, which is about one kilometer.

Under normal circumstances, the conquest army led by the Fifteen Ton Ant Commander would take more than two hours to run one way.

But Luke doesn't need that long. With the fastest traveling speed of the soldier ant warrior, he can arrive in a little over a minute.

If it wasn't for the time it takes to devour the ant eggs, if it wasn't for worrying about the emergence of more powerful troops in the ant nest, if it wasn't for the fear of provoking monsters like Super Rabbits, he would be able to lead more than a dozen sneak attack teams to wipe out all the surrounding ant nests. clean up.

After reaching the periphery of the ant nest, Luke got off the soldier ant warrior, manifested 100 soldier ants, 300 worker ants, and 10 colorful iron wire centipedes, and then organized them into a sneak attack brigade.

He himself did not directly participate in the battle, but first carefully climbed to the top of the hunter's wooden house, and taking advantage of the geographical location, he remotely commanded his sneak attack team to conduct a fire test on the nest of the Red Fire Clan Fifteen Ton Ants.

This temptation was not serious, but it opened Luke's eyes.
