The protagonist and his legions are building the ant nest on the Bun Hill - now renamed the "Round City" - and are already planning to return to their homeland for the winter.
As autumn grows stronger, the mountain swamps cool down faster than the plain areas, and there is already an atmosphere of bleak early winter approaching.
The protagonist has felt that he cannot delay any longer and must go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the water is frozen, he will be trapped in this swamp for the winter.
Now, in the winter, the territory of the Divine Envoy King's legion is likely to face the invasion of mysterious ants on the north bank of the river. This brand-new opponent has already demonstrated terrifying attack power and aggressiveness. The protagonist really can't rest assured about the safety of his homeland, and must rush back to take charge.
According to the reports of the flying knights, in the past half month, the mysterious ant army and the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom, which had re-established its main nest, had been fighting in the Pavement Ants' new main nest, which was the original eastern nest.
Although the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army has regained its strength, the strength of the army is still there, and it has a new ruling center. There has not been a collapse of the army, and the resistance is extremely tenacious.
But for now, the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army is still unable to defeat the mysterious ants. In the repeated battles, the Pavement Ant barbarian army suffered heavy losses and gradually became declining. If it weren't for the favorable location of the new main nest and the continuous flow of new troops from all over the country, they would have been defeated long ago.
Not long ago, another mysterious ant army suddenly appeared again from the direction of the original main nest of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom. Although the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army in this area briefly regained the original main nest, they did not deploy heavy troops in this area. Guard, and no attempt was made to rebuild the old main nest.
This army of mysterious ants quickly conquered dozens of empty sub-nests.
What is even more fatal for the Paving Ant Barbarian Army is that this Paving Ant Barbarian Army has cut off the communication lines that support the new main nest in a large area of the western part of the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom, allowing the central and western part of the Barbarian Kingdom to occupy a quarter of the entire territory. Three areas lost contact with the new main nest.
In other words, the main force of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army has been surrounded in the area of the new main nest, and only about thirty nests near the new main nest that can be directly controlled and commanded are only about a quarter of the current actual territory. .
The protagonist is now very unfavorable about the prospects of the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom. Even if the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army can persist until winter without reinforcements and supplies, the mysterious ants have stronger winter combat capabilities than the Pavement Ant Warriors. . This winter is bound to be very difficult for the Pavement Ant Barbarian Army.
On the other side, the army of the King's Council faction, which had stolen many technical and tactical lessons from the Angel King's army, also fought fiercely with the mysterious ant's partial division at the [Bridgehead], and finally repelled it after paying a heavy price. Attack of the mysterious ants.
But this is just because the main force of the mysterious ants was attracted by the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom. The troops attacking the King's Conference faction only had a few thousand mysterious ants.
Once the Pavement Ant Barbarian Kingdom is completely defeated, with the current military strength and war potential of the King's Conference faction, they will not even be able to stop the mysterious ants for a week.
The protagonist is worried about the situation on the north bank of the river. The world is changing so fast. Just last year, what the protagonist was thinking about the most was how to cross the river and march north, defeat the huge paving ant barbarian kingdom, and establish the hegemony of the Angel King's army over the basin on both sides of the river.
Moreover, when thinking about the huge size of the Pavilion Ant Barbarian Kingdom, even the protagonist has no confidence that he can complete this achievement within two or three years.
But now, in just one year, the situation on the north bank of the river has changed drastically. The mysterious foreign ant force has quickly suppressed the established overlord Pave the Way Ant Barbarian Kingdom with an unrivaled attitude.
This is bound to be a very powerful and difficult enemy, and it is also a challenge that the God Envoy King Legion will face sooner or later.
——I am the dividing line——
Just when the protagonist's thoughts were wandering, a messenger came over to report that some strange things were found in the [Round City], and asked the God Envoy Lord Wang to come over and take a look.
The protagonist read the information package brought by the messenger, and when he saw it, he really discovered something amazing! ! !
The person who discovered the strange thing was a male ant. He was the commander of the team under Rambo Wan. He was relatively senior and was very likely to be the new commander of the army during the next expansion of the army.
When he led his ant soldiers to dig a large-scale breeding farm nest in the ant nest, they dug out a "rock formation". On this rock that has not been completely exposed, there are some strange and regular carvings, which are not like natural Forming.
If it was just a simple depiction, the ants would not care. However, the male ant commander found that he had seen similar graphics in the palace of the great Angel King, and immediately sent messengers to the Emperor. report.
The protagonist sees this figure from the information package: a simple right-angled triangle pattern.
That’s it for right triangles. Nature sometimes naturally forms some geometric figures. Whether they are squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, or hexagons, there are natural shapes or patterns that have appeared.
However, in this right triangle, the shorter right-angled side is divided into three equal parts by two short bars, the longer right-angled side has three short bars, and the hypotenuse has four short bars.
Anyone who has studied basic geometry will immediately be able to tell that this figure represents a very basic and classic geometric theorem - the Pythagorean theorem.
The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squares of the two right-angled sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. In ancient China, the right triangle was called Pythagorean, and the smaller of the right-angled sides was the hook, the other long right-angled side was the strand, and the hypotenuse was the chord. Therefore, this theorem was called the Pythagorean theorem, and some people also called it the Shanggao theorem. In the West, it is called the Pythagoras theorem.
This shows what? This image definitely does not appear naturally. It is obviously artificially carved? Who drew this figure? Is there any civilization in this world that understands the mathematical knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem? Why does this figure appear in the nest of parasitic ants again?
The protagonist felt trembling all over, as if he had been electrocuted. There was a sense of urgency that he had discovered an incredible mystery and clues, urging him to rush to the scene.
There are not only graphics of the Pythagorean Theorem at the site, but also traces of some graphics around it, but most of them are still buried in the soil and cannot be seen clearly.
The protagonist immediately asked all the warriors of the Envoy King to stop what they were doing and dig out the "rock" in front of them with all their strength.
As the excavation proceeds a little deeper, the true identity of the mysterious rocks in this mysterious lair gradually emerges. When more and more contents are revealed in front of the protagonist, the protagonist is almost shocked to the point of fainting!
