The protagonist has a plan, but it is not yet ready for implementation because there has been no response from the team he sent out to perform a secret mission.
In addition, the Big-headed Ant Kingdom's Northern Expeditionary Army is currently in short supply of rations and cannot afford to delay. Therefore, the protagonist suggests that the Northern Expeditionary Army give priority to attacking the two nearby pavement ant sub-nests. This is a suggestion without any selfish motives.
These two auxiliary nests are not far from the "Northern Expedition Army Camp", about less than half a day's journey.
Because they originally belonged to the territory of the pavement ant country, there is an ant tunnel connecting the two nests to the "Northern Expedition Camp". If you follow the pheromones of the pavement ants, you can reach your destination directly.
Among the two target nests, one is located southwest of the "Northern Expedition Camp", close to the bank of the river, and the other is slightly west.
Both auxiliary nests were invaded by the last wildfire. After investigation by the flying knights and ground scouts of the Angel King's Legion, the protagonist knew that both auxiliary nests had a certain amount of ant colony losses.
This further weakened the defensive strength of the southern sub-nest of the Pavement Ant Kingdom, which was already weak in defense.
The terrain of the two nests is also easy to attack and difficult to defend. In addition, the Northern Expedition Army has the advantage of making a surprise attack. It should not be a problem to capture these two nests in a short time.
The five kings present at the meeting had no source of information, so naturally the protagonist said whatever they wanted. However, based on their actual combat experience, they naturally understand that this kind of nest that is very close and poorly defended is the most suitable target for the Northern Expeditionary Army, which is currently short of food.
The only thing that needs to be worried about is that there is not much food stored in these two nests, which is not enough to supply the army for a few days. This possibility is very high, after all, they are just two ordinary secondary nests of no importance.
But the food reserves cannot be found out by the scouts. Big-headed ants cannot sneak into the underground nests of pavement ants, and vice versa.
Finally, it was agreed that the forty legions led by the Public Security King and General B would form the Southern Corps to attack the enemy's lair "Target A" in the southwest.
King General C and King General D led forty legions to form the Northern Corps and attack the nest "Target B" further to the west.
After completing their goals, these two corps will use the newly occupied nest as their starting base and continue to attack other targets, trying to capture as much territory as possible before the pavement ant barbarians react.
General King A led 20 legions as a mobile corps to stay at the "Northern Expedition Camp" and at the same time do a good job in logistics and transportation.
The protagonist's Legion of God's Envoy sent many capable teams as guides to accompany the operation.
——I am the dividing line——
After the meeting, the protagonist flew back to "Linshui City" on Xiaoqing II overnight.
In order to make it easier for the protagonist to find the destination on the dark ground, some fires were raised near the entrances of "Bridgehead" and "Linshui City", and worker ants continued to add fuel.
Under the bright moonlight and guided by the firelight on the ground, the protagonist successfully landed during his first night flight. This is also due to the fact that the flight distance is not long and there are obvious landmarks such as big rivers and big banyan trees as reference.
Returning to "Linshui City", the protagonist continued the meeting non-stop. He summoned all the important ministers under his command in the northern territory.
Attending the meeting were the chief officer of the First Army, Gun, the adjutant of the First Army, Lamboser, the commander of the Second Army, Lambofo, the commander of the Fourth Army, Lambo Tu, and the commander of the "Linshui City" garrison, Darong.
In the northern territory, heavy troops under the protagonist's command have been assembled, while in the southern territory, "Dongyang City" and "Southern Fortress", there is only one field legion and one garrison legion.
This is because the northern "Linshui City" had to face the invasion of the paving ants army last winter, and after the spring started, it had to carry out the task of opening and defending the "bridgehead".
Now, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom has arrived, and the "Bridgehead" and "Linshui City" have temporarily become a safe rear area. The protagonist can allocate part of his troops to carry out his long-planned expansion strategy.
The main character in the Divine Envoy King's army was almost alone, but he still informed the general strategy to his generals and encouraged them to participate in the formulation of strategies and tactics, hoping to cultivate several qualified commanders instead of just following the ant tradition. A warrior who follows every step.
Of course, the final decision is made by the protagonist himself.
After some discussions, the protagonist boldly transferred the 1st, 2nd and 4th legions of the King of Gods back to the south, but each of the three legions left a squad in the "Bridgehead", and used these three squads as the backbone to form the "Bridgehead" "The garrison legion, the commander is Ramboser, the former adjutant of the first legion.
The "Linshui City" garrison and the "Bridgehead" garrison will serve as the defense force of the northern territory. In the current situation, I believe there is no need for them to participate in any war.
The guiding troops responsible for cooperating with the Big-headed Ant Kingdom's northern expedition are all from the "Dongyang City" garrison, which does not affect the transfer of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th legions to the south.
In addition to the three main legions, the protagonist also decided to take all the pavement ant groups under his command to the south, including the Floating Leaf King, the pavement ant queen Black Pearl, worker ants and immature ants. This team was commanded by King Ukiha but escorted by the Second Legion.
In the future, the war in the northern territory will be fierce. Big-headed ants and pavement ants are bound to gather heavy troops here. It is no longer suitable for the protagonist's group of shady pavement ants to carry out activities. No matter which party discovers these paving ants belonging to the Angel King's army, they will cause trouble for the protagonist.
On the other hand, the "Southern Fortress" area belongs to the border of the kingdom, and there are no activities of big-headed ants in other nests. It is a land where secrets are not leaked.
——I am the dividing line——
The Angel King's army was very efficient, and they set out for the south the next day.
Along the way, the First and Fourth Legions will operate on the periphery to prevent any enemies or friendly forces from the Big-headed Ant Kingdom from approaching the interior of the army.
Inside the army are the pavement ants and the second legion, members who cannot be exposed.
The flying knights also provided warning in the air and assisted the army in fully complying with wartime standards.
Along the way, they will camp in the wild at night and will not enter any secondary nest of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom to rest.
Therefore, the journey, although not long, was fraught with challenges, no less difficult than traveling in enemy territory.
The protagonist first stayed at the "Bridgehead". He had to constantly contact the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom to ensure that he had this sharp knife in his hands.
As for the expansion plan in the south, considering that the army still has to march for three or four days and rest for one day, the protagonist is not in a hurry to go back. He can stay here for at least four or five days.
At that time, riding on Xiaoqing II, the protagonist can reach "Dongyang City" in three or four hours. This kind of treatment is similar to human marshals and generals flying around in different areas of a war zone.
