After understanding why the queen wanted to meet him, the protagonist could roughly guess the fleeting sense of loss that the queen showed after the first communication.
After all, from the outside, the protagonist is not much different from the primitive "fellow race" around him, and does not show any traces of civilization.
What are traces of civilization?
Like the queen, she rides on a stone-sized unicorn and stays quietly and comfortably in the pavilion on the unicorn's back. She wears elaborate costumes and has other ants responsible for the basic movements.
This is the style and the place where civilization is reflected.
Another meaning of civilization is to allow individuals with different divisions of labor to enjoy collective safety, convenience and food without greatly increasing the overall workload. At the same time, a few individuals can get something for nothing, but they live a safer, more convenient and richer life than other individuals.
When I met the protagonist for the first time, except for Tempest who was led aside, there were no traces of civilization on the protagonist's body, and he himself had no character - "naked" and had no personal servants. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary primitive ant.
To understand this level, the protagonist feels that it is necessary to tell the Queen the level of civilization of his legion and territory, so that he can achieve an equal status relationship with the other party, eliminate the barriers, and pave the way for later exploring the mystery of the other party's civilization.
As the queen's communication with the local master, the ant queen's inheritance faction, is completed, the queen's communication partner turns to the protagonist.
It is said that what the ears hear is false and what the eyes see is true. The queen was indeed a little disappointed with the protagonist's first impression. He did not show the background of a civilized country. He seemed to be an ordinary tribal leader, or in other words, a restless member of the original tribe - two hostile factions in the kingdom. profit speculators.
The queen has never had contact with such leaders, but in the long history of the "legacy", the "archive ants" have left a large amount of historical memories and information, including many extreme or special histories.
The queen knows her ancestors, and queens in the past have come into contact with many such strange local forces.
Even if the opponent is very small and backward, they cannot be easily offended. This is a bloody lesson learned by queens of all generations. It is not unheard of before that a huge country was ravaged by a few enemies.
What's more, today, the huge country has disappeared, and we are just the "remnants", weak and precarious, relying on wisdom to get around among a group of indigenous people, let alone being impulsive.
Therefore, the young queen corrected her attitude, put away her disappointment and contempt, and began to communicate with the leader in front of her.
The two sides still exchanged simple greetings, and then fell into silence.
After realizing that the other party's level of civilization was not as high as rumored, it seemed unnecessary to mention many of the queen's joint plans, and the two sides fell into embarrassment.
At this time, the protagonist breaks the stiff atmosphere. He said that he could use the information package to show the dynamics of his territory and ask the Queen to read it.
This move can be said to be very friendly, similar to a delegation between countries for visits and surveys, but it can also be said to have an element of showing off one's power, like a human being in a military parade.
For ants, there is no need to do large-scale rehearsals and demonstrations. They only need to pass the scenes in their memory to the other party in the form of information packets. For the protagonist, he can even use his developed mind to invent a scene without refining his memory.
However, the protagonist is still prepared to show the actual situation of his legion and territory to the other party. He feels that he has nothing to hide from you. If a lie is told, it often takes a thousand lies to conceal it, and the cost of lying will become higher and higher.
Moreover, the protagonist also wants to know where the social level he has developed over the past year is compared to the civilization of this ant world.
Moreover, the protagonist does not care about exposing his trump card. His biggest trump card is the knowledge and insight from the human soul. As long as he has the right conditions, he can immediately lead his subordinates to climb several more steps of civilization and surprise the enemies who despise him.
The queen heard the protagonist's proposal, but felt a little disgusted. She regarded the protagonist's proposal as a demonstration: this barbaric tribe leader must want to show off his military power and then blackmail the poor "survivors".
Just like the previous Lao Wang, after the two sides reached peace, through various means of spying, he found that the "survivors" had very few ant colonies, their military strength was not strong, and they seemed unwilling to be dragged into the war. So we immediately asked our side to provide food aid in the name of alliance and peace.
If the "legacy" is powerful, the other party must be tremblingly afraid of being conquered and will never dare to blackmail like this.
As a superior, the good "queen" education she had received since she emerged from the pupa calmed down the young queen. She decided to wait and see what happened and agreed to receive the information package.
The protagonist's information package was quickly delivered.
As expected, the beginning of the information package was an image of the invincible Legion of the God Envoy King.
The queen is familiar with the dense formations, fierce fighting, and scenes of victory. The army of her own country also fights in this way. It seems to be nothing special.
If there is one thing that is scary about the army of this barbarian tribe leader, it is probably that the opponent's army is actually composed entirely of soldier ants.
You must know that soldier ants usually consume 1.5 times more food than worker ants, but their ability to collect food is not as good as worker ants. Therefore, from an economic perspective alone, a country or nest should not support too many soldier ants on weekdays, which would be detrimental to limited food. It's a huge waste of resources.
Even the huge country that the "Legacy" used to be would not have the luxury of establishing a legion composed purely of soldier ants. The general model is for the soldier ants to serve as the core of the grassroots battle, and some worker ants fight around them.
The fact that the other party was able to sacrifice this army of pure soldier ants at least proved that they were not short of food, which made the Queen feel somewhat reassured. These barbaric tribes often only care about the little food of the poor "survivors" and use all kinds of tricks to plunder them.
If it weren't for the "survivors" who still had some last remaining military heritage to protect them, they would have been eaten down to the last bits of their shells.
The opponent also showed off the flying knight, and the queen finally saw the legendary warrior who could ride a fly.
This intrigued the Queen.
Although the "legacy" can also tame beetles, it is a technology passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors. The "legacy" has tried to tame other insects, but they have always failed to follow the steps of domesticating beetles.
Just as the protagonist wants to learn to tame beetles, the Queen is also very interested in learning to tame flies.
