The protagonist flies alone in the valley, returning in the direction of [New Yangcheng] lonely and confused.
Under the midsummer sun, he only felt waves of coldness coming over him, and he felt no warmth at all. Only the lonely wind surrounded him, and the shadow of the trees tightly grasped his heart.
Last night's action ended, and the protagonist learned the truth from the caught tongue, and also learned the ending he least wanted to accept. He was powerless, angry but to no avail, confused but could only move forward.
Although this tongue has a low status, it has experienced the complete incident.
The protagonist never thought that the small hidden dangers within the Divine Envoy King's legion that he did not pay much attention to would actually bring about a series of internal and external troubles, leading to today's evil consequences.
It's too late to regret!
It's all over, the protagonist can only console himself, it's all over.
At least there are seeds. [New Yangcheng] still retains the seeds of the God Envoy King’s Legion. It is not a true failure.
He wants to go back to [Xinyang City], and then let the seeds germinate again, and he also has to learn lessons deeply and eliminate those hidden dangers.
Although having a new goal allows the protagonist to temporarily forget the failure in the swamp, this is also a failure, a huge and painful failure!
The swamp area is no longer the territory of the Angel King's Legion. The protagonist can't forget the tragic scene of corpses everywhere he read, and the neat ruins inside the lair. Even at the most unfavorable time when fighting the Destroyer, he I have never seen so many warriors of the God Envoy King die.
Homeland, homeland has been occupied by the destroyer!
Swamp, the swamp that was originally planned to be dormant, the swamp that could easily counterattack the homeland, was also lost!
Before leaving, the protagonist took one last look at the swamp and the direction of his homeland, which was obscured by mountains and ridges. He abandoned everything here and embarked on the lonely road back home.
——I am the dividing line——
On August 7, the protagonist finally returned to [Xinyang City].
After hearing the news, the spade elephant, armored ox and centipede python who were left behind immediately came to see them and asked about the situation of the large army in the swamp.
The protagonist simply told them that the main force had been wiped out, and let them leave without revealing any more information.
Compared with the Divine Envoy King who locked himself in the palace and slept for a day and night, Spade Elephant and the others did not react too much. After leaving, they each returned to their posts.
For them, although they are not the older generation of male ants who grew up in the old Big-headed Ant Kingdom era, they are also used to the life and death of ants. Regarding the tragedy of their companions who have not seen them for half a year in a distant place, They don't have much empathy.
At least, they are still alive, right? The unique realism of ants made them quickly accept this reality. In the world of ants, separation and death are so common, so there is no need to be too sad.
They continued their lives in [Xinyang City].
At least, they still have a place to stand, and a nest that is not big and not in good condition, but is enough to protect them.
——I am the dividing line——
When the first fallen leaves fall to the ground, autumn has announced its unstoppable arrival.
Although the weather still looks very hot at this time, it seems to be no different from midsummer.
Cicadas and crickets are still chirping tirelessly day and night. The earth is dusty due to the long period of little rain and scorching sun. The dryness and scorching heat seem to never go away.
But changes always sprout slowly and quietly.
It was early September, and the protagonist was standing on the tall city wall, staring at the construction site that was as hot as the weather.
This is the construction site of the wall system expansion project of [Xinyang City].
After returning from the swamp, the protagonist sank for a short period of time. After he healed the trauma in his heart, a stronger protagonist left the palace, stood under the sun again, and began his revival plan.
The Legion of the God's Envoy King is no longer the Legion of the God's Envoy King in his hometown. They now do not have hundreds of nests, millions of ant colonies, and dozens or hundreds of regular legions.
Now, they only have one [Xinyang City], with a narrow territory, poor products, and are surrounded by powerful forces such as fire ants and leaf-cutter ants.
But the protagonist firmly believes that this is just a test on the road to the revival of the God's Envoy King's Legion.
Back then, he could rely on [East Yang City] to counterattack and seize the entire Big Head Ant Kingdom, and now he can rely on [New Yang City] to achieve hegemony again.
Then, he will go back to his homeland and swamp to take revenge on the destroyers and parasitic ants!
For a month, the protagonist has presided over a large-scale project. He wants to build [New Yang City] into a base like the original [Dong Yang City], a base for rejuvenation.
When he returned to [Xinyang City], the previously planned project of using a long wall to protect the entire hinterland of the peninsula was nearly completed, and now the protagonist has expanded the scale of the project.
He transformed all the small fortresses every two meters on the fence in the original plan (previously written as five meters... It can't be changed yet, so I will correct it here) into larger ant mounds. There are four ant mounds in total. The seats are nearly one meter high.
These ant mounds will be used as the nests of the four subordinate races of pavement ants, sickle hunter ants, belly ants and leaf cutter ants, and will live separately from the big-headed ants in the original nest of [Xinyangcheng] to avoid some incidents. contradiction.
The eggs of the four subordinate ant groups are already hatching, and the protagonist knows that in order to revive, the power of the big-headed ants alone is not enough. He not only needs big-headed soldier ants as infantry, but also needs pavement ants as doctors and winter special forces, hunter ants as scouts, leafcutter ants to provide food, and belly-lifting ants as auxiliary long-range troops.
This project is not just about expanding the fortress. The walls that originally connected different fortresses and shielded the peninsula were also heightened and widened. There are wide ant tunnels inside, which can facilitate the rapid movement of troops between different ant mounds.
Today, this project is nearing completion, and a large-scale [Xinyang City] is standing high on the bank of the river.
The protagonist looked up at the sky, which was cloudless. Even the air by the river seemed to be smelling of dryness and lack of water.
What a dry summer, the protagonist thinks to himself.
There was very little rain this summer. Occasionally there would be a drizzle, but it would end without even getting the ground wet.
Fortunately, [Xinyang City] is right on the bank of Qinghe River. Although the water level of Qinghe River has also dropped slightly, it can still nourish the land along the river.
The farmland in [Xinyangcheng] is still green, and the huge and plump grass seeds have already taken shape, and it won’t be long before they can be harvested.
Relying on the rich and plump weeds along the river, the God's Envoy Army continuously harvests large amounts of honeydew. This honeydew is sold to ants, and then resold to red imported fire ants or other ant tribes subordinate to the red imported fire ants. A steady stream of supplies were exchanged for supplies that were not available or lacking in various territories.
However, the butterfly effect caused by the recent drought has also caused the ant clan as middlemen and the trade lines on which the Angel King's Legion is highly dependent to face new crises!
