I'm very sorry, it was another hard day of overtime work, from morning to night, I didn't bother to update in the morning, and I didn't even eat breakfast. An update tonight!
——I am the dividing line——
If you want to use one sentence to describe the male ant class (or other ruling class) of the intelligent ant race in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, and even the entire ant world, it would be "lenient in self-discipline and strict in treating others."
In fact, human beings are similar, so there is a folk proverb that "only state officials are allowed to set fires, and common people are not allowed to light lamps." The ruling class still has to serve itself.
This class has always despised the worker ants and soldier ants and other professional ant classes, and sacrificing or even executing them at will is commonplace. Even the queen ant is despised, ignored, or treated with hostility.
However, this class is very united, and there is no precedent of executing compatriots of this class. Both the king and the king are the ruling class of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom. The king can be promoted to the king, but other classes can never enter this ruling class.
When an ant is born, it is already determined whether it is a male ant or a non-male ant, and whether it is a ruler or a ruled, which cannot be changed throughout its life.
Opportunities such as struggle and promotion only exist for male ants. The king is the high-level ruler, and the king is the lower-level ruler, who is also the king's reserve army. The rule of the entire Big-headed Ant Kingdom is based on this simple structure.
Because of the inextricable connection between the king and the king, the two have a strong sense of identity and are a community of interests. Even if kings and kings make major mistakes, they will not be punished by other ruling classes or the king's meeting. They can still enjoy the privileges of their own class and will not even be deprived of their positions.
And according to the shocking news delivered by the messenger, the God-Emissary King actually executed a king who had no "fault".
Although the order of the Divine Messenger King was said to be based on "divine decree," the reason for the king's execution was that he needlessly sacrificed a large number of ants in response to the monster threat.
However, the lives of worker ants and soldier ants mean nothing. No matter how many people die, one king cannot pay for it with his life. This is the common thought of all the kings and kings of "Qingqiu City" who heard the news.
In fact, the protagonist still cannot fully understand the thinking of the ants. Things that he takes for granted are like the world is falling apart in the eyes of the ants. The death of a king shook the male ant class's sense of security based on status for thousands of years.
Just imagine, if a king can be executed, will it be the king's turn tomorrow? This king was executed today, will it be that king’s turn tomorrow, or even myself?
This natural association caused the entire male ant class to fall into panic and fear after being angry, and then derived vigilance and hostility.
Although the order to execute the king came from the supreme "divine decree", when their own interests and even life safety conflicted with the authority of God, the male ant class fell into unprecedented doubts about God.
Rather than questioning God, it is better to say that it is a hostile attitude towards all forces that threaten itself.
Ants don't know when they have religious beliefs, but this belief is concentrated among the ruling class. Working ants with low status and underdeveloped intelligence have no belief. And once the faith of the ruling class is shaken, then the authority of God in this kingdom will also be shaken.
It may take a long time for this wavering faith to finally collapse, but the wedge has been driven in and the cracks have been created. This is something the protagonist never expected.
Recently, the hot topic in daily exchanges between the kings and great kings of "Qingqiu City" is the execution of the king of "Yancheng". In the short term, God's power is still there, and the resentment needs to be vented. This emotion is natural was transferred to the protagonist.
God cannot be blasphemed, but isn’t the God Messenger King just a great king? Isn’t it good that there has been no Divine Envoy King for a long time in the history of the kingdom? For these reasons, the current public opinion of "Qingqiu City" and even the entire Big-headed Ant Kingdom is very unfavorable to the protagonist. However, the kings and kings that the protagonist is close to are basically fighting on the north bank of the river and cannot provide support or information to the protagonist.
It is in this unknowing situation that the protagonist steps into the opposite side of the male ant class.
——I am the dividing line——
Just as the protagonist was resting in "Dongyang City" and "Qingqiu City" fell into a whirlpool, the battlefield on the north bank of the river erupted in smoke again.
After resting and replenishing, the powerful Pavement Ant Barbarian Army once again launched an offensive against "Target D".
As winter approaches, the sensitive ants have noticed the changes in climate. The pavement ants are eager to regain their lost ground before winter, so that they can launch a routine southward expedition after winter.
The pavement ant barbarian army began to build a floating bridge on the stream where the water flow was becoming less and less.
As the water flow decreases and the stream becomes narrower, it becomes less difficult for the paving ants to build the pontoon bridge. But at the same time, due to the lowering of water temperature, many pavement ant workers that serve as pontoon bridge connections will quickly freeze, and then be washed away and drowned, which will greatly increase the non-combat attrition.
As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, ants need to replenish their heat by basking in the sun when the temperature drops after sunrise, which also shortens the time they can spend fighting during the day.
Overall, as time went on, the situation became more favorable to the defensive giant ants. But it is very disadvantageous for the attacker, which is why the Paidao Ant Barbarian Army is anxious to launch an offensive.
But in fact, if the pavement ant barbarian army is willing to delay until winter, then the pavement ants that can move briefly in the wild when the weather is good in winter will have a great advantage, but obviously they are more willing to use this advantage in the southern expedition. instead of using it to regain lost ground.
Starting from this morning, the pavement ants, which had already been exposed to the sun, rushed into the cold stream carrying a large amount of pontoon bridge materials, and constructed the pontoon bridge with ease.
However, the pontoon bridge was never able to connect to the other side. The Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, which was well prepared, set out from the branch nests of the new buildings by the stream after being alerted by the sentinels. They faced the pavement ants trying to cross the river on the stream bank and tried to extend The worker ants on the pontoon were all killed.
Because the pontoon bridge could never reach the other side, although the stream flowed slowly, it kept pushing the pontoon bridge downstream. The pavement ants can only passively extend the length of the pontoon, while mobilizing soldiers to fight the big-headed ants at the front of the pontoon, trying to break through the obstacles and cover other worker ants building the bridge.
But under the determined resistance of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom Army, this attempt failed. As a large number of pavement ant workers building the pontoon froze, the pontoon broke apart unwillingly. Some ants fell into the water, and some drifted along with the pontoon materials.
The lucky ones among them were able to float back to the shore and be rescued, but many could only drown in the water, or boarded another shore and were killed by the enemy.
On the first day of the offensive, the Pavement Ant Army failed to take any advantage...
