The protagonist rides "Xiao Hei", soaring in the warm and clean blue sky of spring, looking down at everything below - everything that belongs to him!
Maybe it's everything that belongs to him temporarily?
At this moment, countless ants are working hard on the land, and the fertility of spring complements the diligence of the ants. The protagonist just watched all this over and over again.
As a superior person, the protagonist enjoys the feeling of having everything within his field of vision, even if he has been afraid that this scene will disappear in an instant like bubbles on the water on a rainy day.
The protagonist, he is no longer a young boy who has just traveled through time. At that time, he still naively wanted to give soldier ants and worker ants a higher status, and in accordance with the concept of human equality, let his power achieve a certain degree of progress. equality.
But the reality is cruel. The inequality in the physiological structure of ants makes it impossible for them to be equal in status. Even the working ants are not moved by the protagonist's preference. They are not intelligent enough to move themselves. .
Now, the protagonist has given up this idea and truly governs his country like a male ant ruler.
The protagonist's rule still relies heavily on the male ant class, and then restrains the queen ants so that they can only lay eggs with peace of mind, drive the worker ants, and do not repeat the behavior of the queen ant inheritance faction.
If there is any difference between the system of the Divine Envoy King Legion and the old Big-headed Ant Kingdom, it is that the protagonist has single-handedly supported the priest ants and the great professional ant class, including divine soldier ants, divine worker ants, big worker ants, and big soldier ants.
This is a class trusted by the protagonist, and it is also the weapon used by the protagonist to contain, supervise, and stimulate the male ants.
The current protagonist is more like a mixture of human evil politics and ant dominance thinking. This world is using some means to irreversibly assimilate a time traveler, and the time traveler is also sticking to some of the bottom lines in his heart and making his own counterattack.
——I am the dividing line——
Inside and outside [Xinyang City], the ants are busy, preparing for the next battle.
But what is surprising is that the so-called aggressive, impatient, and vengeful fire ants in the tentacles of "Old Heart" did not start a new war for many days in a row.
After the last wave of red fire ant troops that besieged [Xinyang City] returned to their main nest, which was named [Hive City] because it resembled a honeycomb, there was no big movement again.
Even when the Flying Knights went out for reconnaissance, they could not see any traces of red fire ants on the ground of [Hive City]. There were more burrowing ants foraging on the ground, and a small number of black brown ants and forest ants. Or abdominal ants. If you didn’t know better, you would really think that this is the territory of burrowing ants.
"Old Heart" doesn't know why the fire ants rarely stand still, and the protagonist is also confused.
In fact, the reason why fire ants are dormant is very simple - lack of food.
The red fire ant country's conquest of the ant family brought limited gains, and it was unable to control the desired honeydew resources. Even though they later eliminated three tribes of black and brown ants under their command, they still did not obtain enough food for the expedition.
From the perspective of fire ants, the vassal ants under their command are like raised bugs that they can kill and eat when they are hungry. But if the bugs are generally very thin and not full after eating, then keep them for now.
The red fire ants no longer harmed other vassals. Instead, they gathered the warriors in nests in various places. The slaves foraged for food according to the customs of most ants, and also hoarded the rations needed for the next war little by little.
In terms of the stability of the food supply, the aggressive fire ants are far inferior to the leaf-cutter ants who know how to grow fungi. Perhaps it is for this reason that they, who are more proficient in fighting, can only have a tug-of-war with the leaf-cutter ants.
Although the protagonist does not know what kind of difficulties the fire ants have encountered, the precious breathing space cannot be wasted.
The ants in [Xinyangcheng] are busy as never before. In their territory, there are ant-free forests in the north, golden beaches and woods that have lost their owners, Zhugecao grass in the northwest, and reed marshes in the west. In such a vast area, On the land, they gathered food, fodder and everything else they could.
While the protagonist is not directing production, he is staring at the [Hive City] to the north, waiting for the red fire ant army that will appear sooner or later; on the other hand, he is staring at the direction of the leaf-cutter ant country, hoping to get good news.
This year, the flying knights of the Angel King's Legion have tightened their belts and expanded to 36 knights, which is enough to monitor the west and north directions at the same time.
In fact, there are just flying knights. In order to supply the troops of the seven legions, the entire [New Yang City] is operating at full capacity. Such a small territory is simply not enough to supply so many off-duty warriors. That is to say, the red fire ants have not yet invaded, and the God Envoy King's army can move in a larger area to obtain enough food.
Closer to home, until March 28, five days before the mission set off, the protagonist has not yet waited for the return of "Little Flower".
Although the Flying Knights had followed the envoy before, after entering the forest, leafcutter ant warriors may appear on almost every tree and branch.
The discovered flying knight was attacked by flying leaf-cutter ants, and a star beetle was also summoned. Fortunately, the flying knight's mount was faster and more flexible. They avoided the attack and retreated outside the woods, losing control of the envoy.
Therefore, the protagonist knows nothing about what happened next to the mission, and can only wait patiently for "Little Flower" to bring back good news.
On the first and second days, the protagonist knew that the mission was definitely still on the way and might not have reached its destination yet, so he was not too anxious.
On the third and fourth days, is it time for the mission to return?
On the fifth day, according to the speed of the envoy, they will be back anyway. Is it possible that the leaf-cutting ants will keep the envoy overnight?
The protagonist becomes more and more anxious: maybe all the envoys have been killed, and the gifts he sent have become the enemies' trophies!
As long as the mission does not come back, it will definitely be a disaster. Although this has been expected for a long time, the protagonist is also prepared to sacrifice the mission and gifts.
But when things may really develop in this direction, it is still difficult for the protagonist to accept it calmly.
He could only wait and inspect the walnut boat construction sites again and again. Now several walnut boats have been built one after another.
The protagonist has been under a lot of pressure. He knows that the God Envoy King's army is now in one city, and there is no way to resist the attack of the Red Fire Ant Nation.
This time is not like the time when the God Envoy King's army counterattacked from [Dongyang City] to seize the entire territory of the old Big-headed Ant Kingdom. At that time, they were still of the same clan, and their opponents were not monolithic. After losing the main nest, they fell into fighting on their own. The situation gave the God Envoy King's army an opportunity to take advantage.
This time the enemy is monolithic! If there is no outside help and no iron ore, maybe by then, the Divine Envoy King's army will have no choice but to continue to escape by boat!
The protagonist caressed the sturdy shell of the walnut boat, which was his escape route, but he was unwilling to just escape again!
