The protagonist, Xiaomi and Hua Mulan followed the worker ants carrying the ashes until they reached the main road with heavy traffic. The protagonist found another worker ant to lead the way back to the four-bedroom house in his new home. At the same time, Xiao Mi and Hua Mulan also figured out a feasible route from their new home to the fire.
In the next ten days, the protagonist lived a corrupt life of eating, sleeping, and living, which was lackluster, so I won’t waste readers’ time in detailing it one by one.
These days, the protagonist has eaten cooked food again, and he has not forgotten to bring some to his subordinates every time. The ants under his subordinates have quickly become accustomed to the delicious and easy-to-digest cooked food. Generally speaking, ants are not picky about food. Once they find cooked food dropped accidentally in human society, ants will not refuse it. Of course, there are also pure carnivores or vegetarians, and even weird ants that only eat one kind of food, which will also be covered in this story.
During the ten days, the oldest king called the protagonist to take a class. However, after discovering that the protagonist did not even know the most basic knowledge about the king, the oldest king directly asked the senior brother to help him make up the lessons first.
The senior brother lives opposite the protagonist, and it is very convenient for him to teach the protagonist. In addition, the protagonist is also very curious about the knowledge passed down by the ants. He spends several hours every day in the teaching and conversation between the two. .
These days, the main content of the protagonist's study includes two parts.
The first part is about the knowledge about the kingdom of big-headed ants. The second part is the skills that the king (male ant) must master.
The first part, let’s talk about the history part first. The Big-headed Ant Kingdom has no written history that has been handed down on paper or bamboo slips. However, every oldest king will make an information package about the major events he has experienced and pass it on to the succeeding oldest king. These Due to the passage of time, some of the information packets passed down have become extremely simple or even incomplete. The eldest brother is the successor of the next Supreme Lao Wang who is being cultivated by the current Supreme Lao Wang. He has recorded in his mind all the information passed down by the Supreme Lao King to this day.
According to the senior brother, the history of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom actually lasts for 72 oldest kings. If one oldest king reigns for ten years, then the kingdom has a history of 720 years, far longer than any dynasty in human history. .
But even so, the elder brother told the protagonist that the Big-headed Ant Kingdom is just a new and young kingdom. The oldest king has learned about more than ten other kingdoms with older histories. Some of these kingdoms have been destroyed, and some Some have gradually lost their message, while some still exist. However, due to the geographical barriers that are relatively difficult to pass between each other, there is no territorial conflict between most kingdoms and the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
According to legend, the Big-headed Ant Kingdom was established with the blessing and help of God. The events of the 40 Lao King Periods after its establishment are no longer verifiable, because in the 40th Lao King Period, the main nest of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom was paved. The Dao ant barbarians were captured, and the oldest king and all the kings in the main nest were killed.
At that time, only the most remote sub-nest in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom was left undiscovered by the Pavement Ant Army. The eldest king in this sub-nest was automatically promoted to the oldest king. Since he was only the most ordinary king before, He did not receive the inheritance from the previous eldest king, and only knew some superficial historical fragments that all kings knew.
The Big-headed Ant Kingdom has been surviving for several years. The 42nd oldest king received the favor of God and accidentally obtained the power of fire. This specific process has not been handed down. It is only known that from then on, the fire continued underground in the new main nest. Burning to this day. With the help of flames, the people of the main nest can survive the cold winter by relying on the temperature of the flames as long as they huddle underground and avoid dying of hunger, thirst and sleep.
Since then, the number of ants in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom has continued to grow, and they have gradually gained the upper hand in the new war with the pavement ant barbarians. By the time of the 66th oldest king, the big-headed ants had cleared out all the nests of the pavement ant barbarians on the south bank of the river, and established the largest territory, with a total of 406 sub-nests. The protagonist estimated that with so many auxiliary nests plus the main nest, the Big-headed Ant Kingdom has about three to four million ants, which has caught up with the population of a small country in the world. Based on the distance between the secondary nests that the protagonist has passed through before, so many secondary nests in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom can probably occupy more than ten square kilometers of land.
Although the pavement ant barbarians were driven across the river, fierce offensive and defensive battles still broke out between the two countries every winter when the river was frozen. Big-headed ants will retreat underground every winter to avoid freezing to death in the cold winter climate when they are active on the ground. However, the pavement ant barbarians have a certain ability to move in winter. Every warm day when the sun is strong, the barbarian army will march across the frozen river and attack the 28 sub-nests along the river in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom. At this time, the defenders of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom could only fight on their own, engaging in fierce street battles with the pavement ant barbarian army inside the sub-nest. Fortunately, the pavement ant barbarian army cannot spend the cold winter night on the ground. If they fail to capture the secondary nest, they will retreat in the afternoon. If the sub-nest is captured, a part of the army will be left to garrison in the sub-nest until the next good weather strikes again. Although the big-headed ant kingdom can only be passively attacked throughout the winter, when the river thaws in the warm spring, even if the pavement ant barbarians conquer many sub-nests on the south bank and leave tens of thousands to more than 100,000 troops to garrison, but Due to the obstruction of the river, the barbarian army will not be able to receive support from the main force on the north bank of the river after spring. At this time, the army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, which has been recharging its strength for the whole winter, will launch a large-scale attack. Generally, all the pavement ant barbarians remaining on this side of the river can be wiped out before autumn. Then the Big-headed Ant Kingdom will rebuild and renovate its secondary nest near the river to prepare for the attack of the barbarian army next winter.
This kind of war happens over and over again, year after year. Both the big-headed ants and the pavement ants have become accustomed to it, and they continue to shed blood and sacrifice for it, continuing this cruel thousand-year war.
This ultra-long and large-scale national war between ants made the protagonist dumbfounded. At least he knew the history of World War I and World War II when he was a human. Although mankind's world war involves hundreds of millions of people, it only lasts a few years. If the war drags on any longer, one of the parties will fail because of exhaustion of national power. A national war between ants only involves millions of ants at a time, but the ants with all the people fighting can lose tens to hundreds of thousands of ants in a year's war, and the battle loss ratio is very shocking. It's just that the main bases of both sides rely on the geographical location of the river to carry out production without interference. The queen ants continue to give birth to new soldiers. These soldiers only take half a month to reach adulthood and plunge into this bottomless war abyss. Go in.
The protagonist suddenly feels that even if he is the reincarnation of a human being, he has a mind armed with advanced knowledge unmatched by ordinary ants. But in a war involving millions of ants, he is still very vulnerable. As this inexplicable envoy king, my mission to lead the Big-headed Ant Kingdom to completely eliminate the pavement ant barbarians is simply an impossible task.
The protagonist decided that in future wars, I should run as far as I can... My life is the most important thing.
