The next day, the three legions of the King of Gods set off again. According to the established plan, they still used the tactics of early morning raid to complete the first phase of the combat mission.
At this point, the hilly areas within half a day's journey from the "Southern Fortress" have been completely cleared, eleven indigenous tribes of ant hunters have been completely destroyed, more than a thousand ant hunter warriors have been killed, and hundreds of underage ants have been captured. , not a single native ant escaped.
As for the Divine Envoy King's legion, there were only less than a hundred casualties among the soldiers, with more casualties and fewer casualties, with only a dozen or so soldiers killed. Facing an enemy with strong individual combat power and a trapped beast, the Divine Envoy King's Legion still showed extremely strong combat effectiveness.
For the wounded and wounded warriors, in addition to recruiting new soldier ants to join the legion, they must make up for the shortcomings. For seriously injured soldiers, the protagonist arranges for them to retire. For some soldiers with mild disabilities who cannot continue to adapt to high-intensity field operations, the protagonist has other uses.
Since there are no external threats near the "Southern Fortress" for the time being, the protagonist decided to transform the "Southern Fortress" into the "Southern City" to serve as the base camp of the Angel King's Army in the hilly area to enhance its economic strength and provide long-term logistics for the Southern Raiders. support.
Specific measures include dispatching queen ants from "Dongyang City" to station, building breeding farms and farmland in "Southern City", expanding the size of aphids and scale insect herds according to local conditions, and increasing the number of permanent worker ant colonies.
As a supporting defensive measure, the protagonist selected three nests with moderate distances and strategic locations from the destroyed nest sites of eleven indigenous ant-hunting tribes to establish the outer fortress of "Southern City".
There are only a small number of defense troops stationed in these fortresses, mainly retired veterans, mildly disabled soldiers, and soldiers who have just reached adulthood and have not been able to join the legion. The entrance to the fortress was built into a "bridgehead"-like defense, while making full use of the terrain to reduce the length of the defense.
These fortresses can theoretically maintain defense for a long time with only a small number of troops. Their above-ground defense facilities and underground parts are prepared to limit the jumping, ambushes, jaw attacks and stings of the ants.
With these three fortresses guarding the perimeter, it would be difficult for large groups of enemies to pass through directly and threaten the "Southern City".
As the controlled territory expands, the protagonist once again deeply feels the lack of talent under his command.
Currently, among the main team of the protagonist, Rambo Fei is responsible for the administrative work of the "Dongyang City" base camp, Ramborui is guarding "Dongyang City", Rambotu is guarding "Southern City", and Rambo is guarding "Bridgehead" Se, as well as Gun, Rambo Fo, and Rambo Wan who led the legion, these are the male ants who emerged from pupa with the body that the protagonist traveled to this world, and they are also the protagonist's most trusted team members.
The secret in charge of scientific research and Hua Mulan, who is responsible for the safety of the protagonist, are worker ants and soldier ants who originally belonged to "Dongyang City". The secret has a special life experience and a high IQ. However, due to his identity and the firm opposition of the male ant class, the protagonist cannot succeed in politics. The ants have given her too much power and can only make her responsible for the scientific research work that the protagonist thinks is important but other ants ignore it.
Hua Mulan has no other strengths except loyalty, so she can only be qualified for the position of guard captain, with limited room for training.
Darong, who guards "Linshui City" and is responsible for the administrative work there, was originally the king of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom. After "Linshui City" was placed under the command of the protagonist due to the need for winter defense operations, after a winter of running-in, Darong Accept the protagonist's leadership. But as a former member of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, he still has a strong sense of belonging to the Big-headed Ant Kingdom. This makes the protagonist a little worried, and therefore he is afraid to reuse him with confidence.
The Floating Leaf King and the Black Pearl Ant Queen are pavement ants. They betrayed their original group because of the protagonist's coercion and inducement. Now, neither the Pavement Ant Kingdom nor the Big-headed Ant Kingdom can tolerate their existence. Only with the protagonist are they safe. Therefore, these two aliens with no escape route are more trusted by the protagonist.
This time, the protagonist plans to place the black pearl ant queen in the "Southern City" to expand the size of the colony of her pavement ants.
As for King Floating Leaf, he can't just be idle. Although his rich war experience is still looked down upon by the protagonist and feels unyielding, he is already qualified enough to serve as a military instructor for the young male ants. Rambo Fei, who is not good at military affairs, can be taken from this place. Liberated from the position. Therefore, the protagonist transferred him back to "East Yang City" this time to keep him away from the pavement ant colony.
In addition to the above-mentioned important ministers who come from mixed sources, the protagonist has deeply felt the shortage of ant talents. There is a lack of suitable choices for many middle and high-level positions, especially administrative positions.
For example, the construction of "Southern City" requires specialized administrative officials. Currently, this can only be done concurrently by Lambert from the Fourth Army Corps stationed here. But Rambotu is good at fighting, but not good at managing lairs.
Based on this, the protagonist decided to promote a group of young male ants.
This group of male ants mainly comes from the wedding flight ceremony organized by the protagonist in the territory last year and this year. A group of young adult male ants have not yet been arranged for formal work, and often spread out to practice everywhere.
The protagonist uses them as reserve cadres based on their internship situation.
However, most of the young male ants are also talented in the military field. Apart from replacing the commanders of the squads who died in battle and serving as the commanders of the fortresses, they have no other way to advance, and the competition is too fierce.
However, administrative ants are in short supply. Ants are naturally war-loving and somewhat disdainful of administrative and logistical work.
As everyone knows, in the eyes of the protagonist, administrative and logistics officers are more important and valuable. In his heart, Rambo Fei was even more important to the entire Divine Envoy King Army than Gun.
Among the young male ants, the protagonist only discovered three who had potential in administrative work. Based on the eye-catching signs nearby when the protagonist first saw them, the protagonist named the three of them "Bamboo", "Huzi" and "Gardenia".
Speaking of which, ants do not need to rely on names to distinguish each other. They have a method of identifying each other that is difficult for humans to understand. But not the protagonist. His psychology is human, so he needs to give good names or nicknames to all the ants he is familiar with. However, it is difficult to find the characteristics of these ants that look very similar to each other just from their body and appearance. Nicknames like "scarface", "black skin" and "fat man" in the human world are useless here. It always gives the protagonist a headache.
This time, the protagonist plans to arrange "Gardenia" to be responsible for administrative work in "Southern City", "Bamboo" to assist Rambo Fei in Linshui City, and "Huzi" to assist and monitor Darong in "Linshui City".
The protagonist is still full of expectations for the three of them.
