The protagonist is a fortress planned in the style of a "bridgehead". However, considering the construction time, the height of the fortress wall was appropriately reduced, and the design of trenches and drainage ditches was eliminated, which greatly reduced the amount of work.

And the fortress is not just one, but consists of three small fortresses protected by city walls. Each fortress has a separate entrance and exit, and they are connected to each other.

The three fortresses are enough to accommodate tens of thousands of troops. The distance between the fortresses is not close or far, so they can cover each other. The enemy can only attack from the outside of the fortress group. If any enemy troops penetrate deep into the area between the three fortresses, they can easily attack. It will be divided and surrounded by a wave of counterattacks by the defenders.

The protagonist is quite satisfied with this design. Once the Big-headed Ant Kingdom's army finds that the losses on the frontal battlefield are too great, this simple fortress group can become their last resort, enough to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

Since the protagonist can only seek help from one legion, he also works hard to coordinate so that the good guy legion becomes a reserve team the next day, so that the good guy legion does not have to go directly to the front line to fight, so that the good guy legion can devote itself wholeheartedly to the construction.

After a day and a night, the good guys have basically completed the construction of the fortress group.

Afterwards, the protagonist said goodbye to the Good Guy King and the other kings.

He did not pay attention to the next battle situation on the frontal battlefield. He had already done everything he could do. As long as the Big-headed Ant Kingdom Army and its partial divisions could complete their tactical objectives, victory in this battle would be a matter of time.

He is not a nanny. He also has his own strategic considerations in helping the Big-headed Ant Kingdom's army. But if the performance of an ally is too dismal, and the protagonist is still defeated or suffers excessive losses even after he has reached this level, the protagonist must also re-evaluate the necessity of this ally.

Just like in World War II, everyone hoped that their ally would be Germany, not Italy. No matter how supportive Italy was, what it was best at was holding back.

After staying on the frontal battlefield for two days, the protagonist left, and now he decided to go back to "Dongyang City".

Since the beginning of spring, the protagonist has only returned to "Dongyang City" once. Messengers from "Dongyang City" have been coming in an endless stream, sending information and requests to "Linshui City" continuously. The protagonist also has a basic understanding of "Dongyang City". Development.

The last time he came back here, the protagonist was pressed for time and did not understand the situation of the scientific research team led by the secretary. It's rare now that he has some time to stop by and take a look.

The frontal battlefield is not far from "Dongyang City". The protagonist set out early in the morning and arrived at "Dongyang City" in the morning.

After landing, the protagonist was actually examined by the patrol team who came after hearing the news.

This is because the protagonist previously asked the territory to strengthen inspections and control foreign ants. Ants from other nests in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom are prohibited from entering some sensitive areas.

The protagonist was slightly stimulated at the king's meeting before. Some kings, for good or slightly malicious purposes, constantly sent scout ants to "Dongyang City" to gather information.

The protagonist did not notice this problem before, but at the king's meeting in the main nest after the beginning of spring, the protagonist was made things difficult, and he discovered that some kings in the main nest knew much more about "Dongyang City" than he thought.

Although these detective ants cannot find out the core secret of the rapid development of "Dongyang City", and it is difficult for other nests to imitate the model of "Dongyang City", it feels bad to be constantly being spied on.

So the protagonist quickly formulated a security system to treat the ants under his command differently from the ants in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom. Ants in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom are prohibited from entering sensitive areas of each nest, and are also prohibited from entering the north bank of the river through rope bridges.

It seemed that the security work was carried out well, and the protagonist was interrogated as soon as he landed.

The patrol team quickly determined the identity of the God Envoy King based on scent and tentacle communication before letting him go.

This is the racial trait of ants. Any worker ant or soldier ant will meticulously carry out the instructions of his superiors without changing the instructions. Even if he is as noble as the King of Gods, he must undergo security inspections according to the system he has established. There will be no abuse or favoritism by the staff. question.

The protagonist went over to say hello to Rambo Fei, and planned to learn about the current situation of "Dongyang City" before going to the secretary.

Although "Dongyang City" has always sent messengers to report on its work, it is definitely not as detailed as what I learned in person.

Sure enough, after communicating with Rambo Fei, the protagonist learned some brand new situations.

The last time he returned to "East Yang City", Lan Bofei reported that a swarm of bees appeared on the big poplar tree near the entrance to the nest.

This information was ignored at the time, because at that time the "Southern Fortress" was attacked by predatory ants, and the protagonist prioritized dealing with this problem. In his opinion, a swarm of bees was not a threat, and the opponent did not eat ants.

But Lambofi has always seemed to be grudged. He told the protagonist that although there is no conflict between bees and ants, these bees have exhausted all the nectar nearby. It has been difficult for the worker ants in "Dongyang City" to collect nectar recently.

The protagonist understands Rambo Fei's resentment.

There are now a large number of aphids and scale insects grazing in "Dongyangcheng". Logically speaking, there is no shortage of sweets such as honeydew. However, although the honeydew yield is high, part of it is allocated to support the "Southern Fortress", "Linshui City" and "Bridgehead". Raising fly mounts also consumes part of it. The remaining honeydew yield is basically fixed and will be distributed to all ants according to the system. . Male ants and queen ants are divided more, worker ants and soldier ants are divided less.

But nectar is different. It is an additional resource. In addition, nectar has a short shelf life. Basically, it will be distributed and eaten immediately after being transported back to the nest. As a male ant and the current de facto chief executive of "East Yang City", Rambo Fei usually has access to a lot of this extra nectar luxury.

Now because of this swarm of bees, Lamborghini's "extra money" has been greatly reduced. Ants are addicted to sweets, so Rambo Fei is naturally reluctant to have his supply reduced.

Last time, Rambo Fei proposed to eradicate this nest of bees, and now he brought it up again.

The protagonist thought for a while and asked Rambo to stop acting rashly. The hive is indeed rich in resources, including a large amount of honey, beeswax and bee larvae that can be used as food. Although the bees are docile, once the hive is attacked, the worker bees are not afraid of death. of.

"Dongyang City" is currently weak in defense. It will be very disadvantageous if the losses are too large when attacking the hive.

As for Rambo Fei's personal resentment, the protagonist doesn't care much. In his opinion, as a senior executive, he cannot influence decisions based on his own likes and dislikes.

But the protagonist is still very interested in the swarm of bees on the big poplar tree.
