This time, the protagonist went to [Stone Pillar City] in a simple way. He only brought a squad of guards with him, rode a Tempest, and traveled quickly all the way, arriving at the destination two days later.
The last time the protagonist came here, it was still the [real main nest] belonging to the Queen Ant inheritance faction. At that time, the ant queen's inheritance faction had few ants and was weak in strength. Even the protagonist did not expect that the other party could use the God's Envoy King's Legion to raid the main nest [Qingqiu City]. After that, the chaos within the kingdom rapidly developed and grew, and the disease became the God's Envoy King's Legion. opponent.
However, this opponent also quickly collapsed under the containment and suppression of the God Envoy King's army. Today, the huge stone pillars eroded by wind and rain on the nest of [Stone Pillar City] are still standing, but the influence of the queen ant inheritance faction living inside has been blown away by the rain and wind, which makes people feel a sense of "things are different and people are different" feel.
The last time the protagonist came here, he brought a large army because he was concerned about safety issues. Although he did not enter [Stone Pillar City] directly, he was stationed nearby to form a deterrent.
This time, there are no forces that need to be defended. The Big-headed Ant survivors are obviously very wise and will not have any undue thoughts about a powerful neighbor. Therefore, the protagonist reduces the security forces accompanying him to a minimum.
As a border lair, [Stone Pillar City] also has a strong garrison, which gives the protagonist the confidence to rest assured.
What's more, although the protagonist hasn't personally fought in a long time, the power of "God Descends to Earth" is still the same as before, and his strength has even improved. In small-scale battles, he is like a bug.
After arriving at [Stone Pillar City], after taking a short rest, the protagonist met the messenger from the remains of the big-headed ants.
The messenger is an ordinary big-headed soldier ant. She is accompanied by ten soldier ants and worker ants. These are her guards. After all, it is too dangerous for a single ant to move in the wild, and the surrounding area of [Stone Pillar City] is still wild and ferocious. There are many insects. But after forming a group, few insects would overestimate their capabilities and want to challenge the ants.
The messenger from the Big-headed Ant Survivor passed on an information package, which was a message from the Queen of the Big-headed Ant Survivor: The other party wanted to meet with the great Divine Envoy King, and the location was here [Stone Pillar City].
In addition, there is no other information, making it impossible for the protagonist to figure out the other party's intentions.
The last time the protagonist met with the Queen of the Big-headed Ant Survivor was also here. The location has not changed, but the international situation has changed dramatically.
The protagonist thought for a moment and agreed. The other party's messenger immediately left and hurried back to his home.
The protagonist adopts a adaptable attitude. Since he currently has the advantage, let’s see what the other party thinks first.
——I am the dividing line——
The protagonist waited for two more days in [Shizhu City], until the afternoon of April 1st, the other party came to Shanshan.
The queen of the big-headed ant remnants still appears in the same way as last time. First, a huge unicorn slowly emerges from the gentle slope in front of the nest. On its back is a structure made of wood, fiber and unknown materials. The pavilion is firmly strapped to the carapace.
There are two drivers on the head of the horned fairy. They skillfully control the giant horned fairy moving forward like a hill through the reins, and flexibly adjust the direction.
In the pavilion on the back of the horned fairy is the queen of the big-headed ant remnants. Her dress has not changed either. A headdress made of dried small flowers is wrapped around her tentacles, which is worn on her head like a laurel wreath. Her body is covered by an extremely thin layer of almost transparent fiber fabric.
Behind the dressed and hooded queen, there are two tall and burly soldier ant warriors, and behind the beetle, there are fifty warriors, both soldier ants and worker ants. These warriors are equipped with sharp flint blades in their jaws. Made of stone jaw knife.
The protagonist had earlier equipped the warriors of the Envoy King with stone jaw knives, which was also influenced by the remains of the big-headed ants. But now, the Stone Jaw Knife has been basically eliminated, and only a few remote lairs will continue to use it due to lack of material supplies.
All the warriors of the Angel King and many ordinary ants have already used the cast copper jaw knives that fit the shape and are sharper.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard team who are waiting behind the protagonist to greet the visitors are all equipped with copper jaw knives, which emit a metallic light in the sunlight, with a cold light.
However, the protagonist has not yet equipped herself with a dress that resembles the opponent's queen. The protagonist himself is also a character who doesn't care much about external appearances. Apart from wearing some warm clothing when going out in winter, he has become accustomed to the "naked" lifestyle of most ants.
This time, seeing the queen of the Big-headed Ant remnants again, the protagonist felt that it was quite necessary to wear a formal outfit. At least, the protagonist felt that the other queen might look at him with less contempt.
From the last meeting, the protagonist knows that noble ants in the other country wear costumes, which are a symbol of status and upbringing. It is estimated that the other party now looks at me like a naked barbarian. Perhaps the Queen's fleeting sense of loss that she accidentally revealed during their last meeting was because she was not wearing clothes and was regarded as a "barbarian" with no hope for the future.
However, in this formal exchange, the Queen did not contain a trace of contempt or other negative emotions in the information she communicated, and she obviously controlled her emotions very appropriately.
The Queen still carries the fragrance that symbolizes nobility and elegance, but now the protagonist is backed by a powerful legion of the Envoy King and a vast territory, making him more confident.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the protagonist and the Queen moved to the conference room together for private communication.
The last time the protagonist met with the queen, the oldest king was also present, but now the oldest king has gone with the ant queen's inheritance faction.
The protagonist worked hard to negotiate with the Queen of the Big-headed Ant survivors. You must know that communicating with a civilized race is different from communicating with the male ants of the original Big-headed Ant Kingdom.
A side effect of civilization is the loss of simplicity. Intelligent creatures will have various thoughts, such as intrigues. In the big-headed ant kingdom, ants almost never lie. But as far as the protagonist knows, the messenger sent by the Lao Wang was deceived into revealing the trump card of the Queen Ant inheritance faction during the previous negotiation with the Big-headed Ant survivors. Afterwards, the Lao Wang was very angry, and also made the Lao Wang very angry. The protagonist is impressed.
This is the advanced nature of civilized races to a certain extent, and it also reflects their more developed intelligence and ability to engage in active awareness of "deception," which is very different from the instinct of ants.
After sitting down, the Queen lowered her antennae and conveyed the first message through the cobblestones on the ground, which was to congratulate the God Messenger King on becoming the ruler of the vast territory on the south bank of the river.
