When the old-fashioned king and his subordinates arrived near "Linshui City", it happened to be in the afternoon. If they wanted to cross the river through the rope bridge before sunset, there was not much time left for them.
The old-fashioned king is no longer alone. In addition to the worker ant that followed from the main nest "Qingqiu City", there are forty soldier ants guarding him.
These guards are provided by the secondary nests along the way. The male ant rulers of these sub-nests are all loyal supporters of the King's Conference faction. After receiving the old-fashioned king in distress, they not only entertained him eagerly and pointed out the path, but also provided strong soldier ants as guards and companions. Its on the road.
The old-fashioned king also promised that he would soon contact the Northern Expeditionary Army, lead the army to regain the main nest, and throw the unforgivable God-Emissary King who destroyed tradition into the blazing fire at the bottom of the main nest.
When the time comes, he promises to promote the kings of these secondary nests to the main nest to join the king's meeting. After all, after the assassination of the God Envoy King, there were too many vacancies in the King's Council. These kings who were loyal and made contributions were naturally the priority candidates.
After several days of traveling, the old-fashioned king and his party finally arrived at the destination "Linshui City". Their speed was not very fast, mainly because the old-fashioned king had never moved for such a long time and long distance, otherwise it would not have resulted in any leftovers. The time to cross the river is too short.
Unlike those kings who are good at military affairs who always need to go out to fight, the old-fashioned king is more engaged in administrative matters and has never left the scope of "Qingqiu City" in his life.
Along the way, had it not been for the multi-pronged protection based on the unique pheromones left by the ants in "Linshui City" along the ant road, the guidance of the nests along the way, and the company of the soldier ants around him, it would have been just the old-fashioned king himself. If you return alone, you may not be able to arrive successfully.
But even when he arrived at "Linshui City", the old-fashioned king did not dare to be careless.
He knew that "Linshui City" had long been controlled by the evil Envoy King, and it was not easy to sneak through the rope bridge here to the unknown north bank of the river.
However, the old-fashioned King's determination to contact the Northern Expeditionary Army and regain the main nest is as strong as his loyalty to the King's Conference and tradition.
The old-fashioned king's plan was to sneak in quietly and play as the king. He believed that ordinary worker ants and soldier ants would not dare to do anything to him even if they received the instructions from the damn Divine Envoy King.
I have to say that the old-fashioned king’s plan is indeed correct.
Because the protagonist did not expect that someone like the old-fashioned king would slip through the net, even though he had previously issued instructions to each nest under his command to prohibit ant messengers from the main nest from entering the nest privately and meeting male ants.
But the protagonist has never given an order to arrest all ants immediately when they see male ants coming from the main nest. Even if he had given such an order, it would be difficult for the worker ants and soldier ants to carry it out.
After all, the dominance of male ants has lasted for thousands of years. If they are thoroughly brainwashed soldiers of the God's Envoy King Legion, or if there are male ant commanders present, these ants may still implement the instructions.
If they were faced with a respected king alone, these ants would not even think of taking the initiative to carry out the order.
The old-fashioned king was also cautious. He led his men to stop a worker ant foraging for food alone on the bank of the river outside "Linshui City".
At that time, the worker ant was carrying a small piece of edible plant shoots towards the nest, but was surrounded by the old-fashioned king with better eyesight and his soldier ants.
Although the old-fashioned king did not think that a worker ant dared to disobey him, after the failure in the battle against the Angel King's army, he suddenly matured a lot and learned how to prevent the worst-case scenario from happening.
The surrounded worker ants quickly answered a series of questions from the Lao Wang.
What makes Lao Lao Wang happy is that the God Envoy King did not issue an order for the ants to capture him. This shows that the God Envoy King does not receive omniscient warnings from God as he said. At least God didn't tell him that he was in "Linshui City".
This God Envoy King must not be truly blessed by God to protect his enemies.
But what made the old-fashioned king dumbfounded was that he learned from the worker ants that the rope bridge had broken long ago and had not been repaired.
Now the plan of the old-fashioned king to contact the Northern Expeditionary Army was shelved. Without the legendary rope bridge, the traditional thinking of the old-fashioned king could not tell him that there was another way to cross the broad river. .
It was getting late, and the old-fashioned king could only lead his guards to move to the secondary nest in the east of "Linshui City". He needed to find a place to spend the night.
As always, the old-fashioned king brought the worker ant from "Linshui City" with him. As a conservative, the old-fashioned king was not willing to kill an ant of his own group at will.
Similarly, "Linshui City" did not suspect anything because of the disappearance of a worker ant.
——I am the dividing line——
Before sunset that day, the old-fashioned king arrived at a secondary nest east of "Linshui City".
This secondary nest is not far from the river bank, but the nearby vegetation is too dense and there are too many fierce insects. Therefore, the scale of this secondary nest is not large, and it is also a remote village in the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
When the old-fashioned king and his entourage arrived, the six kings from this lair quickly learned the news and rushed to meet with the old-fashioned king.
Although it is located in a remote location, there are a lot of kings in this nest, because the main source of food here is hunting, and because there are many fierce insects, not only are the hunters here good at fighting, but there are also many male ants who serve as commanders and organize large A large-scale hunt.
Likewise, the news here is not blocked.
Although it is a small-scale secondary nest that is not taken seriously, it is very close to the ant tunnel from the main nest "Qingqiu City" to "Linshui City", so messengers can arrive quickly. The Divine Envoy King's legion has not cut off the communication between the sub-nests recently. The king here has already roughly understood what happened from the previous messengers in the main nest and the subsequent interactions with other sub-nests.
The king of this sub-nest is also a supporter of the King's Conference. They met with the old-fashioned King and expressed their hatred for the Divine Envoy King.
The old-fashioned king also told them everything, telling them that his plan to contact the Northern Expeditionary Army had been forced to give up. At present, he did not know how to recover the main nest and defeat the evil God Envoy King.
These kings were at a loss as to how to contact the Northern Expeditionary Army. However, these kings said that there were three to four thousand excellent hunters in their lairs, and they were all very good warriors, enough to form two legions.
These kings said that as long as they were led by the old-fashioned king, they would dare to lead this group of warriors towards the main nest and fight against the minions of the Divine Envoy King.
This proposal made the old-fashioned king's heart, which had dimmed due to frustration, shine again!
