Although the protagonist conquered the main nest, he failed to conquer the entire big-headed ant kingdom, failed to conquer the secondary nests in various places, and failed to conquer the hearts of the ruling male ants representing various places.
Facing one after another resistance and intrusion, the protagonist is quite anxious, and even regrets breaking away from the "Old King's Conference" in the main nest too early - wouldn't it be better to accumulate strength for a while?
But the protagonist also knew that there was no choice at that time - the meeting with the King had to be broken, and it was also the best opportunity - the main nest was empty of troops. If the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army is still on the south bank of the river, then even the strong and powerful Divine Envoy King's army will have to weigh it.
Now, facing the quagmire of the security station that has gradually fallen into, the protagonist feels that his troops are stretched thin.
Of the six main legions at hand, four legions were pinned down on the battlefield of "Hunting Ground City" in the northeast. Because the enemy had a large number of troops and complete defenses, they could only fight a blockade. It would be difficult to make a turn without half a month.
One legion must stay in the newly conquered main nest "Qingqiu City" to stabilize this symbolic, largest and richest nest, which cannot be easily mobilized.
A legion is using the main nest as its base, fighting in the surrounding areas, and has become somewhat exhausted over the past week.
There are still several garrison regiments left, all of which are left to guard important nests such as "Dongyang City" and "Linshui City", and cannot be easily mobilized.
The protagonist calculates that he has no mobility left.
Therefore, the protagonist deeply feels the need to form several new legions. Even if these new legions are temporarily unable to prepare slings, stone knives, beetle mounts and other equipment, as long as they master the unique tactics of the Angel King's legion, they can at least cope with attacks of average intensity. battle.
Only six field legions had been formed before, mainly because the output of the old territories such as "Dongyang City" was still limited, and he also lacked a sufficient number of young male ants under his command to serve as team commanders.
Now, with the newly conquered main nest "Qingqiu City" and the ten surrounding sub-nests, the territory and ant colonies controlled by the protagonist have greatly increased, and the breeding farms and farmland of "Qingqiu City" have also been put into production. Grain production has increased significantly, and the economic foundation for military expansion has been established.
The male ant school in "Dongyang City" also provides education for a large number of young male ants that hatched and pupated this spring. The male ants responsible for managing the local bamboo will teach them personally.
The protagonist believes that the conditions for military expansion are ripe, and now he needs to find several legion-level commanders.
This is somewhat difficult to handle.
The original legion commanders, such as Gun, Rambo Fei, etc., were all male ants from the same batch as the protagonist and had sufficient qualifications. Most of the other male ants are from the subsequent batches, and their qualifications are slightly inferior.
Although there is only a slight difference, in the ant world where seniority is serious, it will greatly affect the commander's prestige and the degree of implementation of orders.
It turns out that in the earliest legion of the God Envoy King, there was a group of male ants whose qualifications were second only to commanders such as Gun. However, most of these male ants were from the main nest. They had repeatedly opposed the protagonist in the past and had been left to work in places such as "Dongyang City". , the protagonist in the current civil war does not intend to use them again.
After much selection, the protagonist set his sights on the Flying Knight Commander.
Among the Flying Knight commanders, Flying Eagle has enough prestige and is relatively senior, but he is also indispensable to the Flying Knight team.
The nine generals under his command: mantis tiger, centipede rhinoceros, spade elephant, armored ox, manticore, spider wolf, centipede python, katydid leopard and locust jackal. Although their qualifications and prestige are slightly lower, they are still barely competent.
At present, there is not a large number of flying knights, and there is no need for so many capable and qualified male ants to gather in it.
In fact, in order to appease these male ants, the protagonist gave the Flying Eagle Legion Commander the treatment, and all Flying Knights have the squad commander treatment.
After much deliberation, the protagonist decided to promote the mantis tiger, dragonfly rhinoceros, spade elephant, armored ox, manticore and spider wolf to the commanders of the new legion. They are the oldest among the flying knights, second only to the flying eagle, and they have Experience in cooperating with ground troops on many occasions.
The main sources of troops for the new army are mobilized from "Dongyang City", "Linshui City" and "Southern City". The soldiers in these places have received the protagonist's education since childhood, and their loyalty is more guaranteed.
As many as 15,000 soldier ants had to be mobilized from three places at once, which was also a huge burden on the three places. The young soldier ants they had been hoarding were basically consumed. Even the garrison regiments of the three places only had Some disabled veterans.
The protagonist can only dispatch a large number of worker ants and soldier ants from the main nest and the newly conquered sub-nest to make up for the shortages in the three places. He also takes the opportunity to disperse some local ants who are rebellious and send them to work in the rear.
The queen ant of the scythe ant tribe in "Southern City" was also allowed to produce 600 scythe ant eggs to serve as scout warriors for the new legion. But it will take more than a month for these warriors to be in place before they can hatch, emerge from pupae and receive basic military training.
In other words, the new legion will not have a scout team available for hunting sickle ants within one or two months. They can only follow the traditional method and use the big-headed ant warriors to act as scouts.
The male ant school in "Dongyang City" has also stepped up its training and quickly sent 300 new male ants after the spring of this year to the main nest "Qingqiu City" to join the new legion.
By April 15th, the new legion had been roughly formed. Except for the hunting sickle ants, all the personnel were in place and training began.
As for weapons, since the new legions are positioned as infantry legions, they only need slings and stone knife weapons stuck on the jaws. These "Dongyang City" have stocks, but they can only arm half of the new troops at one time, so they have to Continue to step up production.
Incidentally, Xiao Mi II has emerged from pupa and joined the scientific research team in "Dongyang City" to participate in the scientific research and weapons manufacturing work that his mother was engaged in. The protagonist plans to move her and the entire scientific research team to "Qingqiu City" after the situation near the main nest is stabilized.
The protagonist pays great attention to the training of the new legion. Even in his busy schedule, he will personally guide the training, teach young commanders, and explain past battle cases.
Just when the protagonist was busy forming a new army, the entire war situation took a new turn.
On the Northeast battlefield, after "sit-in" for about a week, the old-fashioned king's troops finally couldn't hold back anymore in the face of increasingly embarrassment in their food reserves and began to attack frequently to challenge them.
But Gun's army is close at hand and well prepared, and can always drive the enemy troops back underground before they can complete their concentration.
However, the enemy broke out in large numbers, and there were also messengers mixed in. Some took the opportunity to escape the blockade and escape to the rear. Finally, the suspicious ruling male ants in the rear sub-nest learned about the situation.
According to Flying Knight's investigation, new troops are being assembled behind the staid King's army in preparation for the rescue of "Hunting Ground City".
