After the protagonist returned to "East Yang City", he quickly ordered that all male ants be summoned to attend a meeting.
However, this meeting was not held until early the next morning, because the Third Legion in the "Stump Fortress" received the news from the Flying Knight Messenger. Even if the male ant representatives were sent out immediately, it would still take more than half a day on the road. In fact, the representative did not arrive until later that evening.
All male ants from "East Yang City" participated in this meeting. Members participating in this meeting are:
main character,
The male ants of the first legion led by Gun, Lambori, and Ramboser,
The male ants of the second legion led by Rambofo,
The male ants representing Rambowan and the Third Legion,
The male ants of the Fourth Legion led by Rambotu,
The Flying Knights led by the Flying Eagle and the Nine Generals (Mantis Tiger, Centipede Rhinoceros, Spade Elephant, Armored Ox, Manticore Lion, Spider Wolf, Centipede Python, Katydial Leopard and Locust Jackal),
and a faculty team led by Rambo Fei.
After all participating members have arrived, the protagonist announces the start of the meeting, and then delivers the news about the main nest's new defense plan for this winter.
As for the news of the disappearance of the oldest king, the main nest requested to convey it to all the male ants in the deputy nest, but the protagonist only passed it by. In his opinion, the oldest king should not appear in the most remote area of the Kingdom, "Dongyang City". The search for missing persons should be left to the senior brother and the others.
For the protagonist and "Dongyang City", the most important thing at the moment is to prepare the army for war to cope with the defensive operations throughout the next winter, as well as the counterattack after the beginning of the next spring.
After learning that the Divine Envoy King's Legion would dispatch three legions to "Linshui City" to participate in the war, the male ants were very excited. Infected by their combative nature, they wished they could fight now.
Fortunately, the male ants now have practical experience, and they also know that preparation for a war is not a simple matter that can be accomplished overnight. After the protagonist asked everyone to brainstorm ideas, each male ant expressed their attitude and requirements based on their own experience and position.
For example, legion commanders are more concerned about whether their legions can go to the battlefield. After all, there are currently four legions, but only three will go out.
Rambo Fei and other more thoughtful male ants are more concerned about the logistics support of the army. An army with long-range projectile weapons like the Legion of God's Envoy is very dependent on logistics.
Some people are also concerned about whether the defenses of "Dongyang City" and "Stump Fortress" will be weakened after the army is dispatched. After all, this place is located on the edge of the kingdom, and the surrounding situation is complicated: the parasitic ants are still missing, and so are the hunting ants. Frightened by the fighting power of the Divine Envoy King's army, they did not continue to cause trouble. If the garrison is empty, who knows what will happen.
The protagonist writes down all these suggestions and doubts one by one. The ants' brains are good at this. Although there is no pen and paper, it is difficult to miss or forget the information simply after making it into an information package.
Next, the male ant meeting discussed various matters and continuously supplemented and improved the expedition plan. Fortunately, with the protagonist as a supporter and adjudicator with a transcendent status, many issues and plans that everyone can't argue about can be quickly passed.
After the meeting lasted for nearly a day, a consensus was basically reached. The Divine Envoy King’s Legion will make pre-war preparations according to the following arrangements:
1. The armies going out this time are the 1st, 2nd and 4th legions of the King of Gods. The commanders remain unchanged and are still Gun, Lambofo and Lambotu.
The expeditionary legion must eliminate the older soldier ants in the team, replenish the younger soldier ants, and start training immediately.
2. Rambovan led the third legion to stay at the "Stump Fortress", which is currently the most likely location for military conflict and requires a general to lead veterans to guard it.
3. Form a Dongyang City garrison. The organization is the same as the normal army, with thirty squads. The commander is Lan Bofei. However, considering that Lamborghini still had a lot of administrative and teaching tasks, Lamborghini was appointed as the adjutant, responsible for the daily training of the legion.
This legion will be composed of older veterans who have been laid off from other legions as its backbone, and will be joined by a large number of newly recruited soldier ants. Their main responsibility is to stay in the base camp, which is slightly empty after the army goes out.
Although this legion is newly established, its short-term training level and actual combat capabilities are worrying. However, considering that there is a third legion in the south to resist the hunting ants and parasitic ants, there is no threat around "Dongyang City". This level of military defense The power is still enough.
4. Considering that the temperature in "Linshui City" is very low in winter, which will have a great negative impact on the activities of the troops stationed there, the protagonist decided to take the fire to "Linshui City", build a combustion chamber, and then use the passage to dissipate the heat. The air flow is transported to the entire nest, playing the role of "air heating". But the specific plan cannot be planned until the protagonist goes to the field for investigation.
5. Rambo Fei and the commander of the expedition army are jointly responsible for the logistics of the expedition army.
In terms of food, due to the developed animal husbandry in "Dongyang City", ordinary worker ants and soldier ants can also get a higher than ordinary supply of meat and honeydew. But on this expedition, fresh honeydew and meat cannot be counted on, but the large amount of dried meat stored in the granary is enough to supply the army.
What "Dongyang City" needs to calculate now is the total amount of meat required by the army for four months. The protagonist believes that this amount is enough to support the army until the beginning of spring, when the transportation team can be reorganized to transport new military rations.
As for ordinary food, such as dried fungi, grass seeds, etc., the main nest will organize manpower to transfer them. Together with the food stored in "Linshui City", it is enough for a winter.
Considering that long-range troops consume a lot of clay bombs, the troops going out must be prepared on both sides. The first is to add a large number of pottery bombs to the transported materials to cope with the consumption in the battle; the second is to make full use of the soon-to-be-established "Linshui City" combustion chamber to make pottery bombs locally to supplement them.
To this end, the protagonist plans to dispatch several worker ants with experience in making pottery bombs from "Dongyang City" to take charge of this work.
After the meeting, each king began to carry out the assigned tasks. Suddenly, "Dongyang City" started to operate efficiently and orderly like a sophisticated machine.
After all the tasks are assigned, the protagonist seems to be more relaxed. He does not need to do everything himself, as long as he is responsible for the final check. So in the early stage of preparations, he seemed to have nothing to do.
However, the protagonist did not intend to be lazy. He went to see the secretary first, communicated with several big worker ants and light gold big worker ants, and learned about the progress of the technical personnel training issue that he was most concerned about. This job is still in a hurry. The protagonist gives some advice on the difficulties encountered by the big worker ants in work and teaching, and then they have to figure it out on their own.
After that, the protagonist decided to ride Xiaoqing II and personally visit "Linshui City".
