Flying Eagle indeed betrayed the protagonist and his original team.
To this day, if Xiaoying had been allowed to continue the choice he made that day, he might still choose this path.
The story goes back to that day, when the battle surrounding the Northeastern region [Hunting Ground City] has come to an end.
In order to achieve military exploits, Flying Eagle chased the Stiff King alone with only two flying knights, but unexpectedly fell into a trap and was subdued by the Stiff King's ambush.
Originally, Tingying thought that he would die, but unexpectedly, the old-fashioned king actually asked him if he was willing to join the orthodox king's conference to help them fight against the evil God Envoy King.
It can only be said that no one expected that the old-fashioned king, as the name suggests, would have the heart to persuade an enemy or a prisoner to surrender.
The protagonist did not expect that in the ant world, except for a few slave-holding ants, other ants often kill all their enemies and take no prisoners. So after Tingying "disappeared", he just guessed that Tingying was killed, and he was just very sorry at that time.
But now, after learning about Tingying's betrayal, the protagonist is extremely angry, an anger that is even more heartbreaking when faced with Darong's betrayal.
At that time, Tingying did not expect that the old-fashioned king who already controlled his own life and death would make such a suggestion. He thought that he would definitely die!
If he just died generously, Flying Eagle wouldn't have any fear. But once he had a choice, between life and death, he chose the former without hesitation.
Flying Eagle is not completely free of psychological baggage. His childhood education has made him almost worship the Divine Envoy King.
But this is worship rather than blind faith. The Flying Knights have always criticized some of the policies and measures of Lord God Envoy King, and even once forced the protagonist to have the idea of drastic reform of the Flying Knights, which shows the bad blood between the two parties. deep.
On the contrary, this layer of grudge was basically eliminated after the "disappearance" of Flying Eagle, as the protagonist took the opportunity to vigorously build bee flying knights, selected large worker ants to join the flying knights team, and continued to add sand.
As the leader of the flying knights at that time, Flying Eagle's attitude and views undoubtedly influenced the other flying knights. There were already ideological differences between him and the protagonist.
Although they grew up under the education of the Divine Envoy King, some of the older male ants who educated Flying Eagle only joined the Divine Envoy King in the main nest [Qingqiu City]. They originally supported the King's Conference faction. The views were also passed on to Flying Eagle. This is the ideological basis for all conflicts between Flying Eagle and the protagonist.
Of course, Tingying had no intention of disobeying the great Divine Envoy King before. He had always been pursuing progress within the system of the Divine Envoy King's legion.
But as some of his original subordinates were promoted to legion commanders, Tingying, who was nominally a legion commander but could actually only command fifty subordinates, must have resentment.
Now, a new opportunity stood in front of him, and the old-fashioned king promised to give him the real title of king. This bargaining chip plus his own life made him agree without hesitation - he was a realist through and through.
The rigid king did not recruit the Flying Eagle on a whim. Although he is rigid, he is not incapable of adapting. His rigidity is more reflected in his loyalty to the faction to which he belongs.
Fighting against the Angel King's legion has been repeated defeats. Although there are many reasons, the old-fashioned king is well aware of the threat of the flying knights. If he wants to defeat the evil Angel King, the King's Council faction must also have its own flying knights. This is the very simple idea of the old-fashioned king.
There is also a very practical reason. As the old-fashioned king's plan to conquer [Linshui City] went bankrupt, and the alliance in the Northeast has also failed, he knows that he will soon be unable to survive if this continues.
Like all true ant commanders, the old-fashioned king is not afraid of death, but he feels that he will have a greater effect alive. If he could pass on the information he obtained about the Envoy King's legion to the expeditionary force on the north bank of the river, it would undoubtedly be the most useful contribution to the King's Council faction.
But it is almost impossible to cross the river with your current strength. Ants cannot fly or swim. But the flying knights can!
Due to dual reasons, the old-fashioned king and Flying Eagle hit it off.
At this time, the two flying knights following Flying Eagle had been killed by the ambush, and the old-fashioned king ordered his subordinates to continue to escape far away.
He himself was sitting on the mount of the Flying Eagle. The two male ants abandoned their subordinates that day and both fled to the north bank of the river, where they met the expeditionary force as they wished.
The expeditionary force welcomed the arrival of the two male ants. After learning from Darong what the evil Envoy King had done, they had broken with the Angel King's army, even those who had the closest relationship with the Envoy King. The King of Public Security and the King of Senior Brother cannot accept his betrayal of the King's Council.
However, due to the destruction of the rope bridge, for half a year, the remnant forces of the Great King's Conference faction hanging alone on the north bank of the river have no longer received information from the south bank.
Now, the arrival of the Stiff King and Flying Eagle let them know that the situation on the south bank of the river has actually deteriorated to this point. The actions of the evil God Envoy King have also strengthened the determination of the King's Council faction and the God Envoy King's army to fight to the end.
Especially the arrival of Flying Eagle allowed the male ants of the King's Conference faction to learn a lot of inside information about the Divine Envoy King's legion for the first time.
Flying Eagle even stated that he could assist the King's Council faction in training more flying knights, provide aerial reconnaissance for the King's Council faction's army, and even assist in rebuilding the rope bridge leading to [Linshui City] so that the expeditionary force could "go home."
The vision described by Flying Eagle impressed these male ants who were far away from their homeland, and his status within the King's Conference faction quickly rose, and he was vaguely among the top ten senior officials.
While the remnants of the King's Conference faction were recuperating on the north bank of the river, they were not doing nothing. In addition to constantly expanding the ant colony, they had also been making preparations to return home.
To return home, you first need to build a rope bridge. Construction of the rope bridge is inseparable from the assistance of the flying knights. Flying Knight alone is not enough. The task of training more flying knights is imminent.
Although Tingying promises to help train more flying knights, and Tingying does have experience in training flying knights, this job is not that simple.
For example, in order to have suitable fly mounts, the Angel King Legion relies on the stable supply of fly farms, but the King's Conference faction does not have fly farms.
They could only use the most primitive method, sending ants everywhere to try to catch the flies alive. But flies are such sensitive creatures. Until the mysterious ants attacked, the King's Conference faction had only captured six useful flies.
