When dealing with the last enemy, some unexpected situations occurred on the front line, which prompted the protagonist to take a personal trip.
It turned out that just as the Divine Envoy King's army was preparing to launch a general attack on the last remnants of the pavement ants that were forming a formation against a piece of gravel, a sudden change occurred within the enemy.
Inside the enemy formation, a small group of troops actually launched an attack on their friendly forces.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, the attacked party was caught off guard and was quickly subdued and killed. After all, they didn't expect to be attacked by their own people.
Then, all the enemies began to crawl on the ground, their heads and abdomen curled up together. Apparently, a commander issued an order that both sides found bizarre.
This is a gesture of surrender, which is very common in scenes such as male ant marriage and flight competitions. The loser uses this gesture to express his acceptance of defeat and hopes that the winner will not hurt himself again.
What's going on?
The Legion of God's Envoy is also confused. The variables within the enemy have nothing to do with the battle plan drawn up by the God's Envoy King before. The current situation is completely a spontaneous emergency within the enemy.
The frontline team commander did not dare to be expert and quickly reported it to his superior, Rambo Fo.
Rambofo was also confused. He had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, so he quickly reported it to the protagonist.
The protagonist thought for a while and finally understood the enemy's intention. They wanted to surrender.
This is really a rare thing.
In human history, surrender is a common way for the losing party to preserve itself. Although surrender may cause serious damage to interests, the winner generally will not kill all the surrenderers, especially if the surrendering party still retains a certain counterattack strength or utilization value. when.
In many cases, surrender is a very realistic behavior. But in the ant world, even though ants are very realistic creatures, the act of surrender rarely occurs.
Facing a situation of inevitable defeat, the losing side will choose to die generously, while the winning side has no intention of accepting prisoners. They will execute all the enemies they find.
The only acceptable prisoners of war are probably ant eggs and immature ants. Some ants will intentionally take these trophies back, some as protein-rich food, and some will be raised to adulthood and then become slaves.
Therefore, it is a rare thing to suddenly encounter a group of adult pavement ants on the battlefield asking for surrender. No wonder the protagonist is also attracted.
The protagonist is not worried about the opponent pretending to surrender, not to mention whether the ant has such creativity with his intelligence and experience. It is said that the God's Envoy King's army is now ready, and it is not possible for the enemy to overturn the situation with such a small number of troops relying on conspiracy and tricks.
And if the protagonist activates the "God descends to earth" state, he will not worry about being hurt by the enemy.
The protagonist quickly came to the front of the formation, surrounded by a squad of guards, and came to the front of the pavement ant army.
The soldiers of the Pavement Ant Army still maintained the posture of huddled losers. But then, a pavement ant male climbed up alone, stepped over the bodies of his soldiers curled up on the ground, and came to the protagonist.
I saw this pavement ant male lowering his head and extending his tentacles, showing his willingness to communicate.
The protagonist stretched out his tentacles and quickly received a message:
The other party revealed his identity. He turned out to be the supreme commander of the pavement ant army, a member of the pavement ant master nest king conference, and an authorized military instructor.
The protagonist was immediately interested in this unusual king of paving ants.
"Did you know that pavement ants and big-headed ants can communicate with each other?" the protagonist asked.
The Ant King opposite gave an affirmative answer. He was the King of Floating Leaves. Of course, the protagonist did not know the origin of the allusion of Floating Leaves. He did not give the King of Ants a name. Anyway, according to the ant's stream of consciousness thinking. Out of habit, he already knows how to identify the other party.
King Fuye tells the protagonist that the sacred and rich Pavement Ant Kingdom understands that different ant races can also communicate with each other. It seems that although the Pavement Ant Kingdom is regarded as a barbarian by the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, it does have a rich heritage. The leaders of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom do not understand this, and they have never tried to communicate with other races.
"Why do you want to surrender?" the protagonist asked again. The word "surrender" troubled the protagonist for a long time. There is no such word in the ant's consciousness. The protagonist could only make lengthy comments on this word, and then define this level of consciousness. Tell the other person the new words.
Fortunately, King Fuye is also an extremely intelligent ant, and he quickly understood what the protagonist meant.
"Surrender...surrender...this is not surrender!" King Fuye refuted the protagonist's statement.
The protagonist can only say "hehe", and the cooked duck has a hard mouth. It seems that this problem is not only found in the human world, but also in the ants. Just like after losing the battle, abandoning the capital and running away can still be called "Western Hunting" or "Northern Hunting".
King Fuye said that the heroic pavement ant warriors would never surrender. The reason why he gave the order to give up resistance was because he believed that there should be a truce between the pavement ants and the big-headed ants. In order to convey this important message, he had no choice but to give the order to do so.
The protagonist continued to laugh, but his impression of King Floating Leaf was refreshed again. The other party is able to play with diplomatic vocabulary so smoothly and talk about failure so beautifully. It is indeed not an ordinary ant. You know, ordinary ants can't even lie, let alone a higher level of sophistry.
As for conveying the truce message, the protagonist doesn't believe a word of it. You brought 10,000 troops here and killed you without saying a word. Is it to convey the truce message? If you are the winner, I'm afraid that even if the God Envoy King's army gives up resistance and adopts the "loser posture" like you do now, they will still be killed.
In fact, the protagonist guessed half of it right.
If King Fuye leads the army to a military victory, he will naturally eliminate the military presence of the big-headed ants on the north bank of the river once and for all.
The reason why he gave the order to give up resistance, which was equivalent to a disguised surrender, may be out of the desire of an intelligent individual to survive quietly, or because of some unclear enemy feelings towards the big-headed ants.
But what he said about the truce was not entirely a lie. As a member of a very small minority in the King's Council, he is the only one who dares to openly advocate a truce with the Big-headed Ant Kingdom and stabilize the southern border.
Only this time, he found a direct channel of communication with the king, his old enemy who fought to death.
King Fuye continues to persuade the protagonist. He believes that a truce between the two sides will be beneficial to the Big-headed Ant Nation. The sacred Pavement Ant Nation can give up its claim to the territory on the south bank of the river. Although they have lost this land for hundreds of years, the Big-headed Ant Nation has also No need to be wary of preparing for revenge from the north every winter.
