The reorganization of the Divine Envoy King's legion and even deeper military reforms have long been included in the protagonist's plan.

Although the current military strength of the Divine Envoy King's Army is relatively strong, it is no longer sufficient to meet the needs in the north and south directions, and some shortcomings have been exposed in actual combat, so reform is imperative.

The Divine Envoy King's Legion currently has four field legions (main legions) and three garrison legions.

Among them, the commander of the first army is Gun, the commander of the second army is Rambofo, the commander of the third army is Rambowan, and the commander of the fourth army is Rambotu. "Dongyang City" garrison commander Lan Borui, "Linshui City" garrison commander Darong, "Bridgehead" garrison commander Lan Boser.

The organization of field corps and garrison corps is basically the same. Each legion is composed of thirty squads, and each squad has fifty big-headed ant soldiers.

It's just that the quality of the soldiers in the field corps is higher, while the quality of the soldiers in the garrison corps is slightly lower.

After all, the field corps has to undertake field combat tasks, so it is the first-class main force. The garrison corps only needs to be responsible for the defense of the local territory and also serves as a reserve force for the field corps.

In addition to the field corps and garrison corps, there are also a group of garrison troops composed of mildly disabled veterans in small fortresses scattered throughout the country, who are not incorporated into the corps.

Whether it is a field corps, a garrison corps or a fortress garrison squad, from commander to warrior, they are all composed of big-headed ants.

The Big-headed Ant clan is still the most important force under the protagonist, and the protagonist's current body is the Big-headed Ant. As the "fellow race" of the protagonist, Big-headed Ants almost monopolize all important positions and powers within the protagonist's power, especially the military department.

Although the big-headed ants have special soldier ants, their individual combat effectiveness is stronger than that of pavement ants. At the same time, they are as good at fighting in dense formations as pavement ants.

Therefore, the Big-headed Ant Army, which has a relatively balanced advantage in quantity and quality, can generally perform well in various wars and gradually gain hegemony on the mainland.

But big-headed ants also have many shortcomings.

The individual combat effectiveness of Big-headed Soldier Ants is only at the middle-lower level among all ants. They do not have a huge body, agility, or keen eyesight. They do not have stingers, acid or other ants like some ant species. Venom assist.

Apart from their big jaws, the only thing Big-headed Soldier Ants possess is a tight formation and united tactics.

Therefore, in a head-on confrontation, well-disciplined big-headed ants and pavement ants can often defeat those ant species that are powerful but lack organization. However, in small-scale scout battles that require fighting alone, the performance of big-headed ants and pavement ants is far inferior to that of hunting ants.

Now, the protagonist already has three races of big-headed ants, pavement ants, and sickle-hunting ants under his command. He already has the foundation to make full use of the specialties of different ants to reorganize the army.

According to the protagonist's vision, each field legion still maintains thirty combat squads, and each squad still consists of fifty Big-headed Ant Soldiers.

In addition, two scout teams are added to each field legion. Each scout team is composed of fifty ant-hunting warriors and is responsible for tasks such as reconnaissance, peripheral cover, and harassment.

In addition, as the territory expands and production increases, the protagonist has the confidence to build two more field legions. He planned to remove Lambori and Ramboser from the garrison corps and serve as commanders of the new fifth and sixth corps.

The positions of commander of the "Dongyang City" and "Bridgehead" garrison corps will be handed over to Zhuzi and Darong, who are responsible for local administration. The position of commander of the "Linshui City" garrison corps held by Darong will be handed over to Huzi.

The organization of the garrison remains unchanged for the time being, but the "Southern City" garrison is newly formed, with King Fuye of Pavement Ant as the commander and Gardenia as the deputy commander.

This garrison is quite special. Among the thirty combat teams, only ten are composed of Big-headed Ant Soldiers and are directly commanded by Deputy Commander Gardenia. The other twenty combat teams are composed of selected pavement ant warriors and are directly commanded by the commander of the Floating Leaf Army.

This garrison consisting of big-headed ants and pavement ants is the protagonist's attempt to incorporate pavement ants into the military establishment. It is also an important move for King Floating Leaf, and it is also a reflection of the idea of ​​balancing the forces of various races in the army.

The protagonist's military reform vision will be implemented gradually in the coming period.

Among them, the formation of the "Southern City" garrison was faster, but the progress of equipping the field army with a hunter ant scout team was slower, because the eggs, young ants and ants of the hunter ants captured from the war in the southern hills were It will take a certain amount of time to raise a pupa to adulthood and train it into a qualified warrior.

Currently, only the First Legion has taken the lead in equipping enough ant-hunting scout warriors, while the other three legions have not yet completed their reforms.

The progress of the newly formed fifth and sixth legions was not as fast as expected. After a year of fighting in the north and south, the supply of qualified big-headed ant soldiers in the original territory was on the verge of depletion, and the queen ants were still needed to speed up production.

But it also takes several months for the new warriors to be born, raised, emerge from pupae and then trained. Therefore, the fifth and sixth armies will not be able to form combat effectiveness in the short term.

After the war in the southern hilly area, the influence of the indigenous tribes of Sickle Ant Hunters in a large area has been wiped out.

However, due to the limited strength of the Divine Envoy King's army and the inconvenience of transportation in hilly areas, the protagonist cannot bring all the newly conquered places under his jurisdiction.

In the end, after discussions with the protagonist's senior management, it was decided to expand the three fortresses outside the original "Southern City" into three formal nests, named "South Maple City" and "South Birch City" after the first tree near the nest. "Nanjicheng".

The residents of these three new cities are planned to be a mixture of big-headed ants and pavement ants, as an attempt to integrate different races.

As for the hunting ants, due to their small number and the fact that they had just been subdued and their loyalty had yet to be tested, they were all concentrated in the "Southern City".

A number of small fortresses were built near the valley transportation routes and hilly highlands near these three new nests, and some garrison troops were stationed as the first line of defense in the southern territory.

As for other newly conquered areas, we can only give up temporarily. Perhaps it won't be long, or at the latest next spring when the Hunter Ant tribe gets married, these unclaimed lands that have been cleared will become the territory of the Aboriginal Hunter Ant tribe again, and there will be another conflict with the Divine Envoy King's army. war.

But the protagonist has no better way. He does not have enough troops and time to engage in a long-term security war in the southern region, because the war situation on the Great HB Coast has undergone major changes.
