Do you want to accept the surrender of the Belly Ant?
The main character has a big head.
From the perspective of risks and opportunities, the protagonist does not want to offend the red fire ant country by taking in the ants.
The purpose of sheltering the Belly Ant Clan is just to create thousands more ant colonies for the Divine Envoy King's army, as well as a small amount of their belongings.
Now there is a complete tribe of vassal ants in the Divine Envoy King's army. They are self-sufficient and do not need these additional ant mouths.
However, the risk of taking in the Red Fire Ant clan is extremely high. It is obvious that they are going to war with the red imported fire ants!
Although the Legion of God's Envoy King has been here for more than half a year and has worked hard to manage the territory. It is not as poor and fragile as when it first arrived, but it has not fully recovered its strength after all.
In its heyday, the Divine Envoy King's Legion had dozens or hundreds of main legions, a large number of elite warriors armed with copper weapons, tanks and ballistae, and a vast territory with complete and rich products. It dared to fight with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. At that time, the God Envoy King's army may not need to fear the millions of red fire ants.
But now, the Divine Envoy King's legion is not as good as before. The army only has three legions, and only two of them are fully armed and have strong combat effectiveness. The third legion is still in the process of running in. The territory's area, output and ant colonies are less than one-thirtieth of what they were in their heyday.
And once a war breaks out with the red fire ants, the Angel King's army will inevitably have to give up the territory around [Nansen City] and try their best to stick to the front line of [Xin Yang City].
[Nansen City] is now a very important honeydew and grain producing area in the territory, and the economic losses caused by this will be very heavy.
Therefore, the protagonist does not want to take in the Belly Ant clan. In his plan, the Belly Ants should serve as good envoy kings and transit traders for the Red Fire Ant Nation, even if they make more money, it doesn't matter. The Divine Envoy King's army still needs to lie dormant, and does not want to provoke the covetousness of the nearby red fire ants too early.
Only after the God Envoy King's army has stabilized the source of iron ore and grown stronger will the protagonist find a way to provoke a large-scale conflict between red fire ants and leaf-cutting ants in order to profit from it.
Now what happened to the Belly Ant clan has disrupted all the protagonist's plans.
However, even if the protagonist rejects the request of "Old Heart", how can the Legion of God's Envoy King be on its own?
The protagonist speculates that the Red Fire Ant clan probably attracted the red fire ants because they traded a large amount of honeydew and some crow honey in the name of their own clan last year.
As a powerful and arrogant race, the red fire ants are obviously not satisfied with the few resources offered by the ant tribe, and are not willing to obtain honeydew from trade at high prices, so they launched this attack and wanted to take away the honeydew resources. Take it as your own.
Once they discover that the ants do not control the production of honeydew, and wait to learn the truth from the ants, they will still target the God Envoy King's army.
[New Yangcheng] is too close to the territory of the ants. Even in the most optimistic scenario, the ants will not betray themselves. The scouts of the red fire ants can find the God Envoy King's army as long as they wander around. territory.
And are the abdominal ants so loyal? If I reject the request of the Belly Ant Clan, the Belly Ants will probably come back to their senses and sell the Divine Envoy King's legion. Maybe even the entire clan will join the army of fire ants and come together to attack [Xinyang City] to get a share of the pie!
The protagonist thought over and over again and came up with his own plan:
The Divine Envoy King's Legion can protect the Belly Ant Clan, but the Belly Ant Clan's territory is isolated and the terrain is not suitable for the Divine Envoy King's Legion to fight. It is better for the Belly Ant Clan to move to the territory of the Angel King's Legion with all their belongings for the time being, and jointly resist the invasion of red fire ants with the Angel King's Legion.
The protagonist's wishful thinking is that he cannot push the belly ants to the side of the fire ants, making the difference in strength between the two sides even greater.
It's better to let the Belly Ants go to [Nansen City] (the Belly Ant clan still doesn't know about this new nest of the Divine Envoy King's Legion). There are also woods there. The Belly Ant warriors can take advantage of tree warfare and compete with [Xin Yang City] are horns to each other.
Even if [Nansen City] was lost, the big-headed ants would have already retreated to the main nest, and the only loss would be the power of the ants.
As long as the queen ants and several high-status kings of the Belly Ant clan are allowed to live safely in [Xinyang City], it will be considered worthy of them and the continuation of their clan.
Moreover, by consuming the excess power of the Belly-Lifting Ant Clan, the God Envoy King Army can better control this new vassal. Otherwise, the protagonist himself would not be at ease with a vassal ant tribe with a certain strength and some cunning leaders.
But the protagonist's wishful thinking is too wishful thinking, and perhaps the "old heart" is not intelligent enough to see through the trap. But just letting the Belly Ant Clan leave their homeland made it difficult for him to make a decision.
"Old Heart" said that he must return to the lair and convene a meeting of all kings to decide on such an important matter. The protagonist then returned with the "Old Heart" line.
That afternoon, the ants sent a messenger, which was just an ordinary worker ant, saying that the ants rejected the protagonist's proposal and refused to leave their territory.
This time, even the "old heart" didn't come, which shows the dissatisfaction of the ants.
The protagonist also sent a messenger to the territory of the ant, saying that he would provide a batch of food and eggs of the ant workers to support the ant clan in their war of resistance.
The protagonist is trying to appease the dissatisfied tribe of ants. At least they have to resist for a while and consume as much power as possible from the red fire ant army. But don't wait and join the enemy to attack [Xinyang City].
——I am the dividing line——
The protagonist doesn't know whether his comfort has any effect.
After the messenger returns, the protagonist immediately prepares supplies and prepares to send troops to transport them to the territory of the Belly Ant clan later the next day.
But the next day, the ant-hunting ant scouts sent by the Angel King's Legion discovered that tens of thousands of red fire ant warriors were marching in the wilderness to the north of the territory of the Angel King's Legion, heading towards the territory of the Belly Ant Clan.
In the scout's commanding view from the tree, under the newly sprouted weeds on the ground, the army of red fire ants formed multiple columns, moving at different times and moving at extremely fast speeds.
This is the first time that the Divine Envoy King's army has directly seen the military appearance of the red fire ants. Even though the distance is far away, they can still feel the arrogance and arrogance of a victorious army.
Fortunately, the scouts had better eyesight, fewer ants and smaller targets, so they did not alert the red fire ant army and make them change their targets.
The fire ants arrived so quickly that the protagonist was unexpected.
Yesterday, the first group of fire ants retreated. Calculating the distance, we found that the red fire ants formed an army overnight and set off non-stop the next day.
His efficient organizational skills and high fighting spirit are also evident.
