In terms of human history, behind every victorious conqueror there are the blood and tears of the conquered.

If it is a war between alien races, the fate of the defeated conquered people will be extremely tragic, and they may even be exterminated from then on.

Not many years after Europeans entered the Americas, massacres, plagues and exploitation wiped out the Indians on the Caribbean Islands in droves, so that Europeans had to transport black slaves from Africa to supplement the shortage of labor on the plantations.

When the newly founded United States began to march westward, it had fierce conflicts with the Indians who had lived here for generations on the Great Plains. At this time, the Indians were no longer as backward as when the Europeans first arrived. They had guns and weapons through trade. horses. Many times, American troops armed to the teeth would be beaten by Indians on horseback. In order to reverse the unfavorable situation, the Americans began to attack the Indians' food and slaughtered American bison everywhere, almost causing the extinction of this species. Eventually the Indians were forced into reservations, leaving most of the land to whites.

The Mongols' conquest was a unique military conquest in world history. As a nomadic people, the Mongols were as cruel and ruthless to their defeated generals as the cold current from the grasslands. In nations and cities that dared to resist, all adult men were killed or castrated, children became slaves, and boys who were taller than a wheel were also killed. For the Han people in the Central Plains and the South, the Mongolian rulers also enjoyed the right of a woman's first night, forcing some areas to develop the custom of killing the firstborn to maintain their bloodline.

Rome destroyed Carthage, pillaging the rich city and burning it to the ground, and spreading salt into the fields to turn them into barren land. Since then, this pearl-like city in North Africa has never returned to its former glory.

Not only towards aliens, humans are often extremely cruel to fellow humans.

Huang Chao is called the "leader of the Peasant Rebellion Army" in history textbooks, but he is a private salt dealer who lives a comfortable life and has nothing to do with the poor farmers. Huang Chao in history was an out-and-out murderer.

In 879 AD, Huang Chao captured Guangzhou and ordered a massacre of the city. According to the "Records of China and India", a travel diary written by medieval Arab merchants, as many as 120,000 Muslims, Christians, and Jews died under the butcher's knife alone! The book "The Golden Steppe" by the 10th century Arab scholar Masudi stated that the number of foreigners killed was 200,000!

In 880 AD, Huang Chao captured Chang'an and immediately proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named Daqi. Huang Chao's army still carried out large-scale burning, killing, raping and looting in Chang'an City, turning the extremely prosperous Imperial Capital into a hell on earth. Not only the princes, princesses, and dignitaries who were stranded in Chang'an were not spared, but even ordinary people followed. After Huang Chao's army captured Chang'an twice, more than 80,000 people were massacred in the city!

The most outrageous thing is that Huang Chao's army used human beings for food. Huang Chao's army massacred civilians in Henan and Shandong on a large scale, built giant fortresses, and crushed the living people into pieces to use as military rations. It is estimated that in the nearly one year of siege of Chenzhou alone, 300,000 people were eaten by Huang Chao's army!

What is even more shocking is that it is not just Huang Chao who cannibalizes people. Many warlords and bandits have done this. The allusions of "two-legged sheep" and "unenvious sheep" sound outrageous.

Even if they are not eaten, ordinary people will not escape the disaster. It is common for China's population to drop by more than half when changing dynasties. Bai Qi killed hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers, and many years later Qin soldiers were killed by Xiang Yu. During the Troubled Times of the Three Kingdoms, as much as 90% of the population was lost, which gave China the opportunity to be invaded by the Five Husbands.

In times of chaos and displacement, ordinary people were even forced to cannibalism. Although "exchange children and eat" only has four words, it contains a lot of blood and tears.

——I am the dividing line——

His eyes returned to "Qingqiu City". Although he had won and came to the main nest "Qingqiu City" as a conqueror, the protagonist had nothing that could make him indulge in carnival.

Unlike humans, plundering and killing are often driven by self-interest, but ants are a self-denying, diligent and thrifty clan. Regardless of whether they are facing the same clan or survivors, the materials plundered by the ant warriors are handed over to the collective instead of Keep privately.

In terms of collectivism, ants are far more selfless than humans, so they are called "true sociality". Individual worker ants and soldier ants have no extra desires, and they will not rack their brains just to get one more bite to eat or eat something good. Even male ants, although they are offered high-end food, their food and housing are just a little better than those of the ants at the bottom, and they do not have their own wealth.

Ant society is a completely public ownership society.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for the protagonist.

The advantage is that he can use 100% of the collective's materials to realize his ambitions, and there is little material internal friction and waste within the collective.

The disadvantage is that this distribution method of one primary and two princes makes the protagonist very uncomfortable. He does not know how to cultivate and maintain the loyalty of his subordinates for a long time.

It is not enough to rely solely on status and emotion to maintain the loyalty of your subordinates. The human solution is to maintain relationships through interests. Whether it is conveying benefits or sharing benefits, connections based on interest ties are often stronger than friendship and family ties. This is really an ironic phenomenon.

But this trick doesn't work for ants who have "no desires and no demands". The protagonist spent a long time groping and took a multi-pronged approach to shape his own reputation, use the name of the god, and use killing to scare him, and finally he finally succeeded in making the god's messenger. The male ants of the king's army all gathered together.

Even so, there are still rebels like Darong who do not agree with the concept, and the protagonist has little appeal for the male ants in the main nest that he has had little contact with in the past. Then worship."

As a conqueror, the protagonist's first night in "Qingqiu City" was just to renovate a palace and eat a lot of high-end food without restraint.

These high-end food protagonists are not as good as eating in "Dongyang City", but after many days of fighting, whether it is "Sitong City" or the temporary stop on the road, there are no conditions to drink honeydew now. , eating some hot food cooked with fire is already a rare enjoyment.

Now there is no need for the protagonist to do anything on his own. Hua Mulan and some of the guards can already bake and cook food. Let the protagonist enjoy a moment of leisure and contentment.

The protagonist did not eat alone. He ordered more high-end food to be distributed to the commanders of the Angel King's legion. The legion commander could get three times the amount, while the team commander received twice the amount. Now the original male ants in "Qingqiu City" have either been killed or imprisoned, and the rationing of high-end food is very rich, allowing the protagonist to "buy the hearts of the ants" by doing this.
