Early the next morning, under the guidance of the messenger sent by the oldest king, the protagonist went to "Stone Pillar City".
The messenger walked in the front, followed by the protagonist riding a Tempest, followed by fifty elite guards led by Hua Mulan.
The protagonist raised his head, and the towering boulders of "Stone Pillar City" were clearly visible from a distance. However, with the vision of most ants, they could only see a shadow in the distance.
As the distance got closer, the guards who came here for the first time grew their jaws and trembled their tentacles. They were expressing their amazement. They had never seen such a huge rock in the first half of their lives.
After all, this kind of unique rock eroded by wind and rain only appears in mountains and is extremely rare in plain areas.
"Stone Pillar City" is ready to welcome him. Dozens of soldier ants and worker ants lined up outside the entrance of the nest to greet him. The guard team surrounded the protagonist and walked along the queue towards the entrance.
It was the first time for the Imperial Guard team to see a huge stone pillar, and they were inevitably surprised. The ants in "Stone Pillar City" also saw an ant riding a spider for the first time, and they were equally surprised.
Even the familiar acquaintance who greeted the protagonist at the entrance - Sai Lao Wang, saw the protagonist appear in such a way for the first time.
Previously in "Qingqiu City", Lao Wang had heard that the protagonist could "fly" and soar freely on a flying fly, which was considered a miracle that only belonged to the God Envoy King. However, he lived in seclusion in "Qingqiu City" and had not witnessed this scene with his own eyes like the Public Security King.
Today, I found that the protagonist was riding a fly tiger that looked very unruly, and this fly tiger was extremely tame, which made the oldest king feel jealous.
In the opinion of Lao Wang, the protagonist's ability to fly on a fly is definitely a gift from God, so taming a fly tiger is obviously also a gift from God. Why would God favor this newly emerged God-envoy King so favorably and issue divine decrees to him many times, yet be so stingy with me, the oldest king?
Lao Laowang adjusted his mood. Fortunately, he is not so indifferent to spending every penny. Especially, he still has a firm idea in his heart, an idea of supporting the queen ant and opposing the male ant class. He believes that this is the most consistent idea. A system dictated by the gods.
After hearing meaningless divine decrees all year round, even a simple-minded ant will inevitably become neurotic. The oldest king has regarded the inheritance of the ant queen as a system set by God.
The God Envoy King is willing to obey the call of God and come to the "real main nest", which means that he is an ally. A powerful ally is always better than a difficult enemy.
The Lao Wang recovered from the shock of the first meeting, and the protagonist jumped down from Tempest's high back. Hua Mulan took the reins and took Tempest aside.
The protagonist looked at Sai Lao Wang. This was not the first time he had met Sai Lao Wang, but the previous meetings were all in the conference room of "Qingqiu City", where a group of kings gathered together for a meeting. It was the first time for them to look at each other face to face like this.
The tentacles of the protagonist and Lao Wang intersect and they communicate like ants.
"Welcome, heroic King of Gods."
The Lao Wang tells the protagonist that his coming here means that he obeyed God's will and lived up to his title of God's Messenger King.
The protagonist disagrees with this. He is willing to come here just for his own benefit. If necessary, he can completely level this place.
The Lao Wang guided the protagonist into the underground conference room, accompanied by ten guardsmen, and the other soldiers and Tempest stayed on the ground.
The entrance to "Pillar City" is a narrow stone crevice. Tempest's size cannot be entered, so he can only stay in the wild.
In the conference room, the protagonist saw five queen ants and three male ants waiting here.
Some of these queen ants are the inheritors who escaped from "Qingqiu City" with the Lao Wang, and some are the queen ants of the original "Stone Pillar City". After "Stone Pillar City" was occupied by the Lao Wang, they accepted the inheritance of the queen ants and joined this faction.
The original king of "Stone Pillar City" was killed in a sneak attack after the arrival of the oldest king. The oldest king promoted three male ants from the newly emerged young male ants as kings who were willing to accept the queen's inheritance ideas to make up for the rule. Inadequate number of classes.
The protagonist enters the conference room, and everyone connects their tentacles to the white pebbles on the ground to enter conference mode.
After some conversation, the protagonist finally understood the current situation of "Stone Pillar City", or the Queen Ant's inheritance faction.
The ant queen's inheritance faction respects the ant queen in terms of political structure. In addition to still having to shoulder the most important responsibility of laying eggs, the queen ant also participates in the management of the territory.
Male ants are still indispensable, because the queen ant will have difficulty moving during the egg-laying season. Only after she stops laying eggs for a period of time will her abdomen return to normal size. Therefore, male ants often participate in rule as policy executors.
The highest power holder of the queen ant inheritance faction is the queen ant conference composed of the queen ant and the male ants responsible for communicating with God (the oldest king, etc.), and the other male ants, whether they are kings or kings, are the second in charge of execution. Hierarchy, this is the biggest difference between the ant queen inheritance faction and the current king conference faction in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
In addition, young unmarried female ants will also assume some of the responsibilities of male ants, including the execution of government orders and commanding battles. When there is no shortage of queens, some young female ants will give up mating flights and become celibate females, continuing to perform their duties until death.
The older queens who currently control the inheritance of queens lack ruling experience. They are still learning, and many affairs are actually in the hands of the oldest king.
The current Queen Ant inheritance faction is still very weak. In addition to "Stone Pillar City", there are three nearby nests that have joined this faction, but their scale is not as large as "Stone Pillar City".
The way for the queen ant inheritance faction to control these sub-nests is very simple, which is to send strong soldier ants to assassinate the original kings of these sub-nests.
Since the assassins have the same scent information as the target, they will not be stopped by guards and will not alert the target. Without disturbing other ants, the assassin will flee after killing the target, and then "Stone Pillar City" will send its own queen and king to take over the nest.
However, as "Qingqiu City" announced the disappearance of the oldest king to the southern territories and asked the deputy nests to cooperate in the investigation, the ants in "Shizhu City" did not dare to expand their territory like this because their smell had the characteristics of the oldest king. , so as not to alert "Qingqiu City".
Currently, the territory controlled by the ant queen inheritance faction is these four nests. Except for the oldest king, the ruling class only has eight queen ants, fourteen unmarried female ants, six male ant kings, and twenty kings. The total ant population is only over 2,000.
