Fire ants can also tame some insects, which the protagonist previously knew from the information package provided by the fire ants.
However, the fire ants tame docile insects that provide meat, or some draft animals that assist in transportation. There is no information that shows that the fire ants have the technology and behavior to tame war beasts.
The winter pavement ant exploration team did not find any clues related to the domestication of war beasts outside the sponge-like and porous main nest mound of fire ants. Of course, it was winter at that time, and there were no direct clues. But if you want to train war beasts, you will definitely need space. The God's Envoy King Legion originally had multiple surface training grounds for training beetles.
But there were no similar findings near the main nest of fire ants. Apart from those strange conical pits, there were no abnormalities on the surface.
Currently, the Red Fire Ants dispatch a force of nearly 10,000, with no other ant auxiliary soldiers. The protagonist does not believe that it has the ability to break through the defense line of [New Yang City].
This is the protagonist's confidence in the Archangel King's army, which has been equipped with iron weapons after a winter and has greatly increased in strength.
——I am the dividing line——
Although he is ready for a deadly battle in Cage City, the protagonist still hopes that the red fire ants will not find any trace of the God Envoy King's army for the time being.
One day later in fighting the red fire ants, the Angel King's army would have one more day to produce and store food.
It's early spring now, and after a whole winter of consumption and no output, even if the Divine Envoy King's Legion still has inventory in the warehouse, it's not very much, and every bit of supplies is in short supply.
But war is never an end, but a means.
The God Envoy King's army obviously cannot destroy the red fire ant country at present, nor is it like in the homeland period as long as they guarded the banks of the river without fear of enemy attack. How can one survive and thrive under the military threat of fire ants?
The protagonist even thought about becoming a vassal of the red fire ants in name only, which only requires paying a certain price every year. If you refer to the tribute standards of the belly ants, such a payment is not a big burden for the Angel King's army. On the contrary, after obtaining a relatively safe diplomatic environment, the Army of the God Envoy King can develop better and faster.
However, the protagonist does not understand the criteria for recruiting vassals in the Red Fire Ant Kingdom. Although the Belly Ants were accepted as vassals, they were only subdued after a fight to ensure that they posed minimal threat to the Red Fire Ants.
If the God Envoy King's Legion voluntarily surrenders before the war, will the Red Fire Ant Congress accept it?
If we have to fight a war, the Divine Envoy King's army will not be able to let the enemy enter [New Yang City]. They will have to show their true combat effectiveness. Is there any possibility of pretending to surrender at that time? No race dares to sincerely accept a vassal that can threaten itself!
The protagonist's thoughts are a little confused. He has not yet figured out how to deal with the red fire ant country directly. He can only pray for a few more days to prepare.
——I am the dividing line——
But things go against expectations. The protagonist's luck has always been that whatever he doesn't want to happen will definitely happen. If he doesn't expect anything to happen, things often develop in the worst and unexpected direction. He can be said to be the best spokesperson for Murphy's Law.
No, the protagonist was walking along the city wall of [Xinyang City], inspecting the settlement of the ant colonies, herds, and materials moved from [Nansen City], when suddenly he saw a few flying knights flying from the east.
If the former male ants or worker ants were flying knights, they would definitely have to land on the platform of the main ant mound first. If the God Envoy King was not staying in the palace, they would have to contact other ants to know the whereabouts of the God Envoy King, and then Only then can we find the protagonist and report. This kind of fussing will always waste some precious time.
But the descendants of the protagonist - the magical ant flying knights - have excellent eyesight, and they can always spot the protagonist's location from the air immediately.
Therefore, these flying knights landed directly next to the protagonist, and the leader, a magical ant flying knight, immediately reported the emergency military situation.
"Grass!"
After reading the information, the protagonist couldn't help but cursed in his mind, forgetting that his tentacles had not yet separated from the flying knight.
A confused message came from the tentacles of the magical ant flying knight. Her brain was running rapidly, and her experiences and knowledge related to "grass" were quickly uncovered.
Then this magical worker ant asked: Do you want to store more grass in the nest?
She knew that the Angel King’s Army would use grass for feed, fiber or bedding! I thought this was what the great God Messenger King meant.
The protagonist speechlessly interrupted the suggestions of his nominal descendant. He knew that his descendants were smarter, but being smart meant having many ideas, which sometimes led to ambiguities and misunderstandings.
The protagonist told her not to worry about the "grass" and asked her to lead the team back to continue monitoring the target's movements.
By the way, the protagonist gave this magical worker ant a name - "Grass". Doesn't it match the previous "Gun" very well! ?
Thinking of "get out", the protagonist felt a little sad. This was the first ant he met in this world, and now he thought about it, he also died in a swamp!
But the protagonist has no time to feel regretful. He consciously puts away his emotions and prepares for the next fierce battle.
Just now, "Cao" reported that a small group of ants were found fleeing along the river beach towards [Xinyang City], and the male ant at the head was "Lao Xin". Behind them, more than two thousand red fire ant warriors were chasing after them.
At this moment, the protagonist has the idea of killing "Old Heart". The protagonist just thought about hiding for a few days to settle down the ant's mouth that had just moved back from [Nansen City] and to stock up on more supplies.
As a result, the "old heart" has now attracted the fire ants!
You know, the Divine Envoy King's legion started preparing for defense in the morning, and it has only been half a day now, so there is no time to prepare properly! There are still a large number of herds outside the city wall that have not had time to be transported into the peninsula!
The protagonist thought that the fastest possible outcome would be tomorrow, when the red fire ants that had exterminated the red fire ants would discover the Angel King's army when they were scouting around. He still had at least half a day and a whole night to finish the whole thing.
Now the ants and fire ants can arrive here in at most one hour, which is not part of the protagonist's plan!
The protagonist hurriedly asked the armored cow next to him to take care of the placement of supplies in the ant colony outside the city wall.
He himself hurriedly gathered his troops and prepared to go out to stop the chasing fire ants.
There is a lot of crowds outside [Xinyang City] right now. We can't let the fire ants take advantage of the situation and kill them. Otherwise, the loss to the Divine Envoy King's army will be huge!
This wave of enemies must be stopped in the wild.
Messengers were running around, and the protagonist quickly gathered a team of troops to attack. He personally went into battle, and the soldiers he brought out included: the guard squad directly under the protagonist, the 1st legion led by the Spade Elephant, and three squads belonging to the 3rd legion, all composed of magic ants. A total of 2,700 soldiers.
