After the battle just now, the entire army of the God Envoy King no longer dared to underestimate the strength of the mysterious ant.
On the last section of the road leading to [Target A], the God's Envoy King's army walked cautiously. A large number of scouts were scattered around, and a huge warning net was opened, for fear of encountering another surprise ambush.
The battle in the grass just happened in the middle of the night. The reason why Ramboser was so careless that he was ambushed was not only that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, but also another important reason is that except for the God Envoy King Legion, there is currently no ant race that will fight at night. A large-scale operation.
Ramboser suffered from this mindset. Fortunately, his command was quite good, and he promptly ordered the troops to plant plants and ask for reinforcements from the rear. Although his subordinates suffered heavy losses, the establishment was still there, and they could quickly regain their combat effectiveness after training, so the protagonist did not criticize him too harshly.
As the sky gets brighter, the Angel King's army is on high alert. This is the time when the ants become active, and the possibility of encountering enemies will greatly increase.
But until the Angel King's army arrived near the entrance of [Target A]'s nest, they did not encounter any new mysterious ants.
It turns out that because the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army has been greatly damaged, most of the mysterious ants have begun to sweep away various places. The remaining troops have a very loose encirclement of [Target A], especially in the east direction that deviates from the territory of the King's Council faction. Even if The Northern Expeditionary Army would not choose this direction to escape, so the mysterious ants only deployed the hundreds of troops in the grass in this direction.
The God Envoy King's army broke in from the weakest defense position of the mysterious ants by accident.
Seeing that no more enemies appeared, the protagonist breathed a sigh of relief. He doesn't want to cause trouble now and provoke these powerful enemies again. After all, he came to [Target A] for other tasks.
A messenger was sent to [Target A]'s lair, which was completely unguarded by defenders on the ground. It seems that the Northern Expeditionary Army stationed here has completely given up on fighting the mysterious ants on the ground and is determined to stay underground.
After the messenger set out for a while, the protagonist felt a slight vibration coming from under his feet, and the vibration quickly became "louder". After a while, a group of big-headed ants filed out of [Target A].
These big-headed ants include both soldiers and workers. Many of them are injured or missing arms or legs. You can tell at a glance that they have just experienced a tragic battle.
However, their injuries and disabilities did not affect the fighting spirit of these ant warriors. Under the commander's orders, they still fearlessly came outside the nest and came to the ground.
The ant warriors of the King's Council faction formed two small circular formations outside the nest, with one left and one right wing guarding the entrance and exit of the nest. Then, two more male ants were surrounded and came out of the underground nest.
The protagonist recognized the two of them, they were the Public Security King and the Senior Brother King.
It was seen that the two kings did not leave the lair entrance too far, and seemed to be still on guard. Then the messenger sent by the protagonist was released back - she had been detained beside the two kings just now, and she had temporarily lost her freedom.
It turned out that after entering the nest of [Target A], the messenger quickly encountered several ants and asked them about the whereabouts of the police king.
The protagonist knows that the King of Public Security will definitely be the king with the right to speak in the Bei Expedition Army based on his seniority. After all, when he was in the main nest, the King of Public Security was one of the most powerful kings and one of the several giants in the Bei Expedition Army.
As several other giants of the Northern Expeditionary Army have died in battle or aged, the Public Security King is undoubtedly the only senior member of the King's Conference faction's army. In addition, he has friendship with the protagonist, so the protagonist will naturally give him priority to talk to him.
Because the God Envoy King’s Legion and the King’s Conference Faction are currently in a hostile state, the protagonist is also prepared to have the messenger killed. If this happens, the protagonist will continue to send messengers, and does not even rule out the use of force to enter [Target A]. possibility.
But fortunately, although the two sides are in a state of hostility, the God Envoy King's Army and the current Northern Expedition Army are both from the same source. They come from the original Big-headed Ant Kingdom, and their auras are almost the same.
Due to the obstruction of the river, the male ants of the King's Conference faction also believe that they will not encounter the Angel King's army in a short time. The current main enemies are still the paving ant barbarian army and the mysterious ants. They have not specifically issued any plans to target the Angel King's warriors. Hostile orders.
So the messenger was fortunately and successfully brought to the King of Public Security.
The messenger returns to the protagonist, and she brings back an information package from the police chief.
The protagonist opens the information package, but there are no greetings between old friends in it. The mood of the police officer in the information package is very calm and distant.
He seemed to be just asking the reason why the God Envoy King was here in a routine manner.
Although there is no obvious hostility, the protagonist cannot find the familiar feeling when fighting side by side.
A year ago, the protagonist might still be sad. But now, he is stronger in his heart and does not need the pillars of friendship that support his soul. As a human who travels to the world of ants, the protagonist knows that he is destined to be lonely. Old friends are people who are getting further and further away from each other, so there is nothing to feel sad about.
The protagonist calmly asked the messenger to go back and reply. His purpose was very simple, which was to allow the Northern Expedition Army still stationed at [Target A] to follow his army back to the south bank of the river to avoid being trapped here and being annihilated.
As a consideration for the other party, the protagonist agrees to reserve a secondary nest for the King's Conference faction on the south bank of the river. The Northern Expeditionary Army stationed there can be completely autonomous, and the Divine Envoy King's Army will not interfere in any way.
This is the plan that the protagonist came up with on the way. He feels that this plan has the best of both worlds. The King's Conference faction can save the lives of many male ants and ordinary ants, and it does not count as "surrendering" itself, and it still retains its autonomy. The Divine Envoy King's Legion can actually subdue this most elite unit of the Northern Expeditionary Army as a "vassal" and learn a lot of information about the mysterious ants.
After all, the Northern Expedition Army has fought two battles with the mysterious ants, both of which were major five-digit battles. They know much more about their enemies than the Divine Envoy King's Army.
But soon, the King of Public Security and the King of Senior Brother sent the messenger back after a simple touch of their tentacles.
What they thought was completely different from what the protagonist thought - they directly rejected the protagonist's proposal and said: The two sides are already enemies. The next time the evil minions of the God Envoy King dare to set foot here, the Northern Expedition Army will definitely fight back.
Afterwards, the Public Security King and the Senior Brother King immediately led their troops back underground without waiting for the protagonist to reply. They still saved face for the protagonist and did not directly fight each other.
Negotiations between the two parties broke up unhappily.
