In order to keep a low profile and bide their time, the ant queen inheritance faction is currently unable to expand the number of sub-nests, so it wants to first increase the number of ant nests in its four sub-nests to expand its strength.
The "real main nest" currently has less than a thousand ant colonies, and the other three sub-nests each have an average of four to five hundred ants. This scale is obviously too small no matter where you put it.
To increase the size of the ant colony, it is easy to say, as long as the queen ant speeds up laying eggs.
A queen ant can lay up to two hundred eggs a day, but this speed will wear out the body very much and even shorten the life of the queen. It is usually only done as a last resort when the nest is besieged and there is an urgent need to recruit more soldiers. Under normal circumstances, the queen ant can roughly guarantee a rate of fifty eggs per day.
There are currently five ant queens in "Stone Pillar City", which can theoretically increase the number of ants by 7,500 within a month.
However, the ant colony cannot grow indefinitely and needs enough food to feed it. This is precisely the biggest weakness of "Stone Pillar City".
The reason why the Lao Lao Wang brought the ant queen and followers of the ant queen inheritance faction to this desolate south was because it was remote enough and would not easily attract the attention of the kings in "Qingqiu City", and because of the legendary legend. The Big-headed Ant Kingdom was born and rose here. "Stone Pillar City" was the only territory of the earliest Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
In the early days, the big-headed ant kingdom was ruled by the queen ant, so this place was regarded as the holy land of the queen's inheritance faction.
However, after hundreds of thousands of years of vicissitudes of life, the area around "Stone Pillar City" has become increasingly desolate.
It is said that the Big-headed Ant Kingdom was forced to move to the plains because of the lack of vegetation and lack of food. The desperate Big-headed Ants burst out with extremely strong fighting power, and slowly conquered large areas of land in the war, becoming the overlords on the south bank of the river. of.
Now, the eldest king and the ant queens who chose to return to the holy land "Stone Pillar City" and wanted to restore the tradition of queen ant governance found that this holy land was so barren that it could not support a thousand ants.
Therefore, after discussion at the ant queen meeting, they had to ask the protagonist for assistance.
This was actually Wang Lao Wang's idea. The queen ants didn't know whether this envoy king could be trusted. They were afraid that if the matter was revealed, they would be discovered by "Qingqiu City" and be killed.
However, the Lao Lao Wang believed that he was also the messenger of God, and the God Messenger King was naturally an ally with him, so he pushed forward this plan against all objections.
The protagonist did come to the "real main nest" as he expected, although the motive was not as great and upright as Lao Wang imagined.
When the protagonist proposed in the meeting that he was willing to assist the "real main nest" and had already brought the first batch of food, the queen ant meeting was very happy.
But then the protagonist poured cold water on them. The protagonist told them that the amount of food he provided was only enough for a thousand ants to eat for four months, which is enough for all the ants in "Stone Pillar City" to live frugally. Winter.
An ant queen accused the Divine Messenger King of bringing too little food. He should bring more food, for the "real main nest", for the noble queens, and for God, even if the nests under the Divine Messenger King were hungry. Even if the ants die, enough food must be provided for the "real main nest".
The protagonist is a little dumbfounded. These ant queens have not been involved in world affairs for many years. After being suddenly promoted to the throne by the oldest king who believes in the inheritance of the ant queens, their emotional intelligence is still low, and they actually make such excessive demands.
For a moment, the protagonist feels that the Queen Ant Conference and the King Conference are all the same thing, completely self-centered, and taking whatever they consider to be their subordinates!
Fortunately, the oldest king saw some clues. He expressed his gratitude to the God Envoy King for the first batch of aid, and hoped that the God Envoy King could provide more food within his ability in the future to help the "real main nest" survive. Difficulties. In the future, when the orthodox queen ants expel the kings who stole power, the gods and the queen will naturally praise the king.
The protagonist just listens to this kind of empty promise. In fact, neither "Qingqiu City" nor "Shizhu City" can give the protagonist what he wants.
When he first traveled through time, the protagonist was completely unable to accept that he had turned into an ant. After he got used to it later, he just wanted to live well.
However, a series of experiences made the protagonist discover that a single ant is too weak and will die accidentally from war, insects, or even accidents. Only by becoming stronger and relying on a powerful group can we better protect ourselves. So the protagonist established the Legion of God's Envoy King and continued to expand his power, hoping to be strong enough to protect himself in the face of all crises.
At the same time, based on human instinct, the protagonist wants to change the current ant-like primitive life. To this end, he has made a lot of efforts, including making beds, pottery and simple furniture for himself.
With the appearance of the mysterious "legacy" of big-headed ants, the protagonist guesses that they come from a place with a more advanced civilization. He is even more eager to understand that civilization, and wants to further improve the level of civilization under his command, and then to the human race. The world moves closer.
This is the protagonist's pursuit. "Qingqiu City" cannot satisfy it, and "Shizhu City" cannot satisfy it either.
The Lao Wang gave a step to stop the ant queens from complaining, and the protagonist did not speak anymore, but his dissatisfaction had been deliberately transmitted to the ant queen and the Lao Wang through the conference system. This also let the queen ants know that the envoy king in front of them was not as respectful and responsive to their requests as the oldest king.
The atmosphere in the conference room became awkward, and the queen ants still didn't know how to deal with their unruly "subordinates." Perhaps their ancestors once controlled the entire kingdom from a high position and knew how to use power and skills, but the current batch of successors to the ant queen's inheritance do not yet have such abilities.
Fortunately, at this time, the messenger informed that the queen of the "legacy" of the ally Big-headed Ant had arrived outside the nest.
So Lao Wang said that he would go out to greet him, and the protagonist immediately said that he would go too, taking the opportunity to get out of the awkward conference room.
The Lao Wang and the protagonist climbed to the ground from the passage. The worker ants and soldier ants in "Stone Pillar City" who were sent to greet them had already formed a line. Just like when they greeted the protagonist, the two rows were arranged in a herringbone shape and extended outward.
The protagonist looked forward, but there was no ant, because there was a small slope in front of him, blocking his view.
The protagonist asks the God Envoy King what the queen of the Big-headed Ant's "legacy" is like, and whether she is easy to deal with. However, Lao Wang said that today was also the first time that he met the Queen. He had contacted her through messenger before and had never met her in person.
At this time, there was some commotion at the front of the welcoming team. The protagonist looked over and saw a few ants appearing from the hillside, first revealing their antennae and heads, and then their bodies.
Then, the protagonist's jaws grew, and his surprise was palpable.
