Messengers from "Sitong City" and "Qingqiu City" traveled back and forth in the territories controlled by each, delivering news that had never been seen before in the history of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
The instructions from "Sitong City" were very clear. The messenger told the male ants and subjects in various territories under the control of the God Envoy King that the main nest had been controlled by evil parasites, and the God Envoy King's army would completely eliminate those contaminated ants. .
The protagonist's messenger also went to the sub-nests that the Divine Envoy King did not control, delivering the same message, hoping to have several sub-nests "anyway", but obviously the King's Conference was more prestigious, and the protagonist's plan failed to come true.
The information from "Qingqiu City" was mixed but unclear. The message from the messenger listed the crimes committed by the Divine Messenger King in killing his own people, and stated that he would use force to stop the Divine Messenger King's crimes.
Although this news made the male ants share the same enemy, it had little effect on the worker ants and soldier ants.
Because the news from the main nest "Qingqiu City" was not delivered to them, many worker ants did not understand the whole story and did not know how far-reaching the upcoming civil war would be.
The protagonist's messenger also went to the territories of the Big-headed Ant survivors and the Queen Ant inheritance faction, requesting them for support.
The remnants of the big-headed ants were not interested in the civil war in this kingdom of the same clan, but because of the protagonist's promise to send a large amount of meat (almost all dried locust corpses), they sent eleven newly domesticated beetles after the beginning of spring to let the third The number of beetles in the first legion has tripled to 16, including 6 large beetles and 10 medium beetles.
The Lao Lao Wang represented the ant queen's inheritance faction and excitedly expressed that he would participate in the war. In their view, this is the ally of the Divine Envoy King fulfilling his promise to help them, and they must not stay out of this war with the "thieves".
The day after the Ant Queen's inheritance faction announced its participation in the war, seven sub-hives in the south of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom and west of the protagonist's territory sent messengers, announcing that they would join the Queen's inheritance faction. The ruling male ants of these sub-nests had previously either declared their allegiance to the queen's inheritance faction, or were killed by warriors sent by the oldest king and replaced by male ants from their faction.
The messenger from the ant queen's inheritance faction also arrived at "Qingqiu City", announcing that the male ants' king conference was "stealers of the country" and that they would restore the ancient glorious tradition of the ant queen's rule.
The King's Council obviously didn't know anything about this in advance, but the faction that suddenly appeared knew almost nothing about it. They were also very confused about the reappearance of the oldest king and did not react at all. From the perspective of the King's Council, they thought this was another trick of the God Envoy King. Perhaps he had kidnapped the Lao Wang in the first place. The main goal of the King's Conference is still focused on the protagonist.
In fact, the messengers sent by the ant queen inheritance faction are not just to provoke the male ants. The news announced by these messengers quickly spread throughout the main nest "Qingqiu City" and has been hidden inside the main nest. Last time, there was no communication with the oldest king. The power of the ant queen's inheritance faction, which has left but continues to lurk, is already ready to move.
Some messengers sent by the leaders of the faction secretly went to the Lao Wang and the Divine Envoy King, allowing the protagonist who had been cut off from information to once again obtain information about "Qingqiu City".
When the protagonist originally chose the Ant Queen's inheritance faction as an ally, he was more concerned about sharing his own military pressure. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly received intelligence support by accident, which made him overjoyed.
The ant queen inheritance faction lurking in the main nest "Qingqiu City" soon leaked an important piece of information to the protagonist - Darong has "rebelled"!
——I am the dividing line——
The protagonist's flying knights have previously delivered orders to various territories under their command, including the lonely "Bridgehead" on the north bank of the river.
Originally, the protagonist was not worried about the "Bridgehead". Although the most elite Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom was stationed nearby, due to the broken rope bridge, the messengers from "Qingqiu City" could not contact this army at all. The protagonist can maintain communication with the place through the flying knight.
As long as the defenders of the "Bridgehead" follow the protagonist's instructions and continue to pass on wrong information to the Northern Expeditionary Army, they can continue to concentrate on the war against the Pavement Ant Barbarians without having time to think about anything else.
However, the protagonist obviously ignored a male ant - Big Banyan.
Darong is the ruler of the original "Linshui City". He is a male ant who grew up in a traditional environment and is not a direct descendant of the protagonist.
During the first winter the protagonist spent in this world, he was responsible for defending "Linshui City" from the southward invasion of the pavement ant barbarian army. At this time, Darong became the protagonist's subordinate under the order of the King's Council.
Although he has always been loyal, the protagonist does not trust this traditional and conservative king very much. Darong was only responsible for the civil affairs of "Linshui City" at the beginning. It was nearly a year later that he began to command the local garrison.
Since Darong has ruled "Linshui City" for many years and is very prestigious among the local workers and male ants, the protagonist later simply transferred him to the "Bridgehead" with a sparse ant population to serve as a garrison commander to weaken its power.
Since the "Bridgehead" hangs alone on the north bank of the river, it is relatively easy to keep secret. The protagonist also once placed his tribe of pavement ants here.
The conservative Darong could not accept the existence of an old enemy race under his rule. He expressed his opposition to the protagonist many times, and King Fuye also repeatedly accused Darong of wantonly bullying and killing ordinary worker ants of pavement ants. The two sides almost It was a huge commotion.
That's why the protagonist arranges for the pavement ants to move to "Southern City".
When the protagonist did not break up with the king's meeting, although Darong was dissatisfied, he still obeyed the protagonist's orders according to the order before the king's meeting.
But after the protagonist's messenger told him the news that the meeting between the protagonist and the king had broken down, the smart male ant did not believe the protagonist's statement that parasitic bacteria had contaminated the main nest.
Darong sent a messenger to contact the Northern Expedition Army and explained the situation to them. Although there were a large number of male ants in the Northern Expeditionary Army who had good relations with the God Envoy King, the Northern Expeditionary Army quickly unified their thinking on issues related to the interests of the entire male ant class, and decided that "in order to fight against foreign forces, we must first make peace at home" and looked for opportunities to go south. , to assist the main nest in pacifying the forces of the Divine Envoy King.
Darong found among the protagonist's flying knights those who were dissatisfied with the protagonist's policies, and he was responsible for the exchange of information between the north bank of the river and the main nest.
The main nest also attaches great importance to the main force on the north bank of the river, and is actively seeking ways to return the army across the river.
The protagonist had been kept in the dark about all this until the ant queen's inheritance faction secretly leaked the news, and he finally woke up.
This civil war looks more complicated and intense than expected!
