(The perspective of hunting sickle ants ends and begins to return to the perspective of the protagonist)
The protagonist sets foot on a newly conquered territory. At this moment, he is full of ambition and has a vast territory under his control. Although it will take a long time to ensure the general stability of the new territory, the stage has been set.
For more than a month, after crushing the largest joint attack of the indigenous tribes in the hilly area, the King of Gods army under the protagonist began to conquer the land that he had coveted for a long time.
In the first stage, the Angel King's army cleared the hilly areas within half a day's journey from the "Southern Fortress", destroyed eleven indigenous tribes of ant hunters, and killed and captured more than a thousand ant warriors or young ants.
As for the Divine Envoy King's legion, there were only less than a hundred warriors casualties, with more casualties and fewer casualties, and only a dozen warriors were 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.
Later, since there were no external threats near the "Southern Fortress" for the time being, the protagonist rebuilt the "Southern Fortress" into "Southern City" as the base camp of the Angel King's Legion in the hilly area.
In the "Southern City", queen ants were dispatched to station, a certain scale of breeding farms and farmland were built, the size of the aphid and scale insect herds was expanded, and the population of resident worker ants was increased.
The pavement ants under the protagonist's command and the newly subdued ant colony were also placed here.
At this point, "Southern City" has begun to take shape and has become an important strategic base for the protagonist.
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".
In the second stage, the Divine Envoy King's legion launched a clearing and sweeping campaign on the periphery of the existing territory.
This time, the target is some valleys and mountain basins with dense ant colonies within a day's distance from "Southern City". These areas have a large number of hunting ant tribes, and the key targets are those larger-scale indigenous people with numerous ant colonies. tribe.
In order to achieve the effect of shock and threat, after the indigenous tribes were eliminated, all enemy corpses were discarded on the ground, creating a scene of massacre. The scene was extremely bloody.
At the same time, after annihilating the indigenous tribes, the Angel King Army also implemented a scorched-earth policy - hunting wildly on the tribe's territory. Even if food was not needed, the prey was killed and transported back, or even discarded into rivers and lakes.
In this way, when autumn comes earlier in hilly areas than in the plains, it can effectively reduce the winter food reserves of new tribes that migrate here, and weaken the strength of indigenous tribes in disguise.
The third phase of the strategy planned by the protagonist will be carried out in the following year. By then, the Angel King's army has greatly weakened the strength of the indigenous people through continuous sweeps and scorched earth policies. Then you can use the offensive of plowing the court and sweeping holes to further control more territory.
This is also a last resort tactic because the indigenous tribes are too dispersed and unstable in the event of danger, making it difficult to annihilate them on a large scale.
However, the fighter plane appeared much faster than the protagonist expected.
For some reason, the indigenous tribes actually assembled an unprecedentedly large team and took the initiative to attack the outer fortress of "Southern City".
The veterans stationed at the outer fortress resisted the attack of the indigenous coalition forces with their complete defensive measures, and the patrolling flying knights discovered the police situation and guided the reinforcements to defeat the enemy.
After launching a probing offensive and aerial reconnaissance against the gathering area of the indigenous coalition forces, the protagonist finally assembled almost all the military forces in the southern hilly area - three fully-equipped legions of the God-Emissary King who had undergone adaptive training, and completely defeated the indigenous people in the decisive battle. coalition forces.
The indigenous coalition forces suffered heavy losses in the decisive battle, and during their subsequent escape, they were massacred by the Legion of the God Envoy King led by the Flying Knight.
After the battle, by interrogating the prisoners, the protagonist and the legion commanders calculated together that hundreds of indigenous tribes close to the territory of the Divine Envoy King had lost their most elite warriors due to this failure. The dream of conquering destroyed these tribes. The time has come.
For a period of time afterwards, the three legions of the Divine Envoy King worked non-stop under the guidance of the Flying Knight, while continuing to hunt down the fleeing indigenous warriors while continuing to conquer and expand along the way.
To this day, the three legions under the protagonist have destroyed more than 200 indigenous tribes, killed thousands of ferocious ants, seized a large amount of food, and captured many ant eggs, young ants, and ant pupae.
Even some ant queens were captured. Among the many captives, there were finally two ant queens who were not so strong-willed. After being threatened by the protagonist, they chose to obey and saved their lives at the cost of losing their freedom.
The protagonist had previously wanted to subdue the scythe-hunting ants and provide excellent scout warriors for his legion.
Although hunting ferocious ant warriors obtained only by capturing ant eggs, young ants and ant pupae can achieve the goal in the short term, it is not sustainable.
The protagonist also captured several queen ants before.
But the protagonist's attempt to subdue the queen of the scythe-hunting ant like the black pearl failed. These queen ants, who can fight in ordinary times, resist very resolutely and are often captured only after being wounded. But they refused to surrender and showed great aggression.
The protagonist has no choice but to kill most of the ant queens. The only remaining ant queen has all six limbs and tentacles amputated, her eyes are blinded, and she is imprisoned in the deepest prison cell of "Southern City" inside. Big-headed ant workers are sent out to feed her every day to ensure that she does not starve to death. These big-headed ant workers will also bring hormones that stimulate egg production and apply them to her, and then take away the eggs that are laid. The protagonist treats the queen ant as a living egg-laying machine.
Now that there is a queen who is willing to join, the queen, who has been disabled and whose egg production is unstable, is immediately killed.
The Legion of the God Envoy King also suffered losses in a series of battles. A large number of elite warriors suffered casualties in pursuits, counter-ambushes, and encirclement and suppression battles. There were even instances where they encountered bark mantises and other fierce insects and suffered heavy casualties.
Many soldiers were killed and many were injured. Although most of the wounded soldiers were treated with the saliva of the Pavement Ant Doctor, they were able to avoid death from infection (the mortality rate in this category was extremely high before).
However, only a small number of soldiers can return to the army after recovering from injuries. Most of the soldiers can only retire due to physical disabilities or severe internal injuries, and then take on the task of guarding fortresses in remote areas.
Based on the serious battle damage, the protagonist finally stopped military operations and started the next plan.
The plan includes how to consolidate the newly acquired territory and how to reorganize a more powerful legion of the God Envoy King.
