Although it has been a year since he came to this world, during which the protagonist has been trying to adapt to the thinking habits of ants, he still underestimated the gap between his thinking and that of ants.
I had this feeling before when facing the king's meeting in the main nest of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom. Now, the protagonist's conversation, or negotiation, or surrender ceremony with King Fuye is also extremely difficult.
At the moment when the two of them were communicating, the God Envoy King's army and the remnants of the Pavement Ants were still in a tense confrontation. This military operation was not completely over yet, and the commander had not issued new instructions.
For this reason, the protagonist "had an idea" and tentatively requested to "disarm" the paving ant army first, so that he could feel more at ease and confirm the sincerity of the other party.
According to the protagonist's opinion, the opponent will definitely not be willing to disarm his own troops. This is the only card the opponent has on hand. If he abandons his martial arts, the other party will have no choice but to play with the tiger skin of the Pavement Ant Kingdom.
As for how to deal with it after disarming the opponent? Such adult ants are difficult to subjugate as slaves, and even require a large number of troops to guard them, which consumes precious food reserves, so it is better to kill them all.
But if the other party surrenders, according to the tradition of the human world, killing prisoners is an ominous sign. Bai Qi killed 200,000 Zhao soldiers in a trap, and ended up with a miserable end; Xiang Yu killed Qin soldiers in a trap, pushing the Guanzhong area completely towards Liu Bang. In the end, he failed to defeat an opponent who had suffered repeated defeats but had a solid Guanzhong as a back-up. ; Not to mention the Japanese during the war of aggression against China, they are still an abnormal country now.
Unexpectedly, King Fuye didn't care at all about his small army. He generously stated that the God Envoy King's army could kill these paving ant warriors at will, and he wouldn't care.
The protagonist once again has difficulty understanding the other party's brain circuit, but his proposal is very tempting, and the protagonist does not want to receive hundreds of time bombs for nothing.
As a result, King Fuye stepped into the formation of the Divine Envoy King's army and was "protected" at all levels.
Subsequently, the Legion of the God Envoy King launched a merciless attack on the enemy army that had lost its commander and still maintained a "loser attitude".
The last remnants of the pavement ant army spontaneously resisted in the chaos, but this resistance was in vain, and they were quickly slaughtered.
The protagonist ordered the guard team to escort King Fuye and return to the "Bridgehead" with him.
The three legions of the God Envoy King stayed in the newly occupied pavement ant sub-nest and began to clean up the battlefield.
On the ground and underground, the corpses of pavement ants are everywhere. Although the protagonist does not intend to occupy this sub-nest, it is necessary to bury all the corpses.
Otherwise, if the enemy sends a messenger and sees this scene, they will immediately know the outcome of the troops they sent.
And if it is just an empty secondary nest, it may cause the enemy to make guesses out of thin air, mislead their judgment, and buy a little more time for the God Envoy King's army.
The harvest from this battle was also very rich.
Strategically speaking, it crushed the enemy's first encirclement and suppression campaign and bought time.
In the Pavement Ant Sub-nest, the Divine Envoy King's Legion seized enough food to feed 10,000 warriors for a month. This batch of food is very precious, especially in this year of famine, food is the most important strategic material.
In the auxiliary nest, the Angel King's Legion also captured hundreds of young ants and ant eggs. Previously, due to the need to continue fighting, the fourth legion that occupied the auxiliary nest only killed all the adult ants such as the queen ants and worker ants in the enemy nest. , and temporarily let go of these young ants and ant eggs that are not a threat for the time being.
The number of these ant eggs is obviously low. It seems that this deputy nest is aware of the lack of food this year and has reduced the number of eggs laid by the queen ant.
The protagonist has no idea what to do with these larvae and eggs. It is a bit wasteful as food. Although it is high-quality protein, if you raise it as a slave, there is now a subdued pavement ant queen in the "Bridgehead", and there is no shortage of eggs and young ants.
In the end, in order to increase genetic diversity, the protagonist asked the Angel King's army to take back all the young ants and ant eggs and hand them over to the care of the pavement ant slaves in the "Bridgehead".
——I am the dividing line——
Returning to the "Bridgehead", the protagonist found a secret little nest room, and continued to communicate with King Fuye accompanied by Hua Mulan and several other guards.
Perhaps because there were no ants of the same species around him and he was in the enemy's camp, King Fuye lost some of his previous calmness.
After a difficult exchange, although both parties felt that it was often difficult to understand the other's thoughts, both parties gradually understood the general meaning of the other.
For King Fuye, his request is simple and realistic.
He demanded that his life be safe, and that he be released and allowed to return to the main nest of pavement ants.
In response to the "good deeds" of the big-headed ants, he can use his influence to mediate in the main nest and strive to reach a truce between the pavement ants and the big-headed ants.
Of course, in order to facilitate a truce, it is not enough to just "gift" oneself back to the nest. The Big-headed Ant Nation should also show its sincerity, such as "gifting" or "paying tribute" to a batch of supplies.
The protagonist laughed in his heart, this king was really shameless and dark-hearted.
It was obvious that he had suffered a complete defeat on the battlefield, but instead he made such a request. If it was fulfilled, the other party could still boast that he had "surrendered" the Big-headed Ant Kingdom even if he returned to the main nest alone.
Ants are creatures that actively implement realism, so the Pavement Ant Kingdom spends a lot of resources and troops every year to restore the old territory on the south bank of the river. In the eyes of most Pavement Ant kings, it is not easy to achieve.
If there is a step now to obtain the nominal "surrender" and tribute materials from the old enemy, I believe that with the opponent's sophistry ability, a truce between the two sides can really be achieved.
When the time comes, the King's Council of Pavement Ants will not care at all about the small loss of 10,000 warriors being annihilated and an auxiliary nest being razed. Instead, they will regard King Fuye as the main city of the country.
The protagonist also learned during the exchange that King Ukiye had no intention of saving the lives of the soldiers under his command from the beginning. After all, these soldiers all knew more or less about the failure of the battle and King Ukiye's entry into the enemy's interior. Hidden danger.
Before King Fuye was ready to "surrender", he even commanded his troops to kill another king who was preparing to fight to the end, and then sold off all his troops.
This kind of trick of turning one's hands into clouds and rain, as well as the level of darkness, are at the level of a tyrant in the human world, not to mention the ant world where conspiracy and conspiracy are still at the level of human kindergarten.
As for the request made by the other party, although it is ridiculous, the protagonist has to admit that it is still attractive to a certain extent.
