After the Ancient God Heritage Ant Tribe Conference ended, among the representatives of the ant tribes from each civilization, the protagonist was the last one to leave [Holy Tree City].
His home was the closest anyway, and the leaf-cutting ants had something to do, so he was in no hurry to go back.
The leafcutter ant queens had already held a meeting to unify their thoughts, and sent six queens as representatives. After the other representatives left, they took the protagonist and held another short meeting alone.
The topic of this meeting is about the red fire ant country. The Leafcutter Ant Nation is currently at war with the Red Fire Ant Nation. They believe that the Red Fire Ant Nation is the common enemy of themselves and the Angel King's Legion, and they want to discuss with the protagonist how to fight together.
They didn't know that the Divine Envoy King's Legion had long been nominally a vassal of the Red Fire Ant Nation, and there was no military threat from the Red Fire Ant Nation for the time being.
If they had known about it, they would probably be saddened by the degeneration of a civilized ant tribe into becoming a vassal of the barbaric ant tribe, and the meeting would probably not go on.
The protagonist concealed this. He said that the Angel King's Legion and the Red Fire Ant Nation were still fighting, but the Angel King's Legion was not in a good situation and had no energy left to launch a counterattack. Therefore, he rejected the request of the Leaf-Cutter Ant Nation to coordinate operations immediately. But said they would join forces in the future.
Now the leaf-cutting ant army has indeed temporarily suppressed the red fire ant army and has the upper hand. But judging from last year's battle, once the leaf-cutter ant army leaves the forest, its combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. The protagonist is not optimistic that they can defeat the red fire ant country with strong potential this year. The two sides are probably still in a tug-of-war situation.
What's more, there is a powerful suzerain country behind the red fire ant country, which can easily defeat the small ones and draw out the old ones.
Although they are both civilized ant tribes, after understanding the mission of the civilized ant tribe, the protagonist has a greater sense of identity with these heavenly allies, but he will not risk his own base easily.
The protagonist agrees to supply strategic materials, including stone tools, pottery, etc., other than honeydew and crow honey, to the Leafcutter Ant Kingdom. Stone weapons can enhance the combat effectiveness of leafcutter ant warriors and help them gain an advantage in the war against the red fire ant army. Pottery was useful for food storage.
The leaf-cutter ant army is also very interested in the sharp iron weapons of the Angel King's army, but the protagonist has no plans to sell them for the time being. The Angel King's army is also expanding, and with the need for cannon casting, the current iron production is not enough for personal use!
Although the Leafcutter Ant Nation failed to get a commitment from the Angel King's Legion to jointly carry out military operations, they felt that the Angel King's Legion contained some enemy forces and could provide a lot of useful supplies. Overall, they were quite satisfied.
In the end, the leaf-cutter ant country gave the protagonist 2 star beetles and 6 young leaf-cutter ant handlers. The protagonist returned from the meeting with a full load.

Returning to [New Yang City], the protagonist held a meeting and summoned his male ants, big worker ants, magic soldier ants and other high-level officials.
He informed everyone of the contents of this meeting and told everyone that his clan was a clan with divine heritage, leaving his subordinates unaware of the seriousness.
The protagonist once again warned everyone that the mission of the family is to "save the world" and everyone must contribute their best to this cause.
In this meeting, the protagonist mainly wanted to unify the thoughts of his subordinates.
During the homeland period, the Divine Envoy King's Legion suffered from ideological confusion. Some of the protagonist's advanced ideas were not understood and supported by some conservative and traditional subordinates such as Flying Eagle and Darong, which resulted in rebellion, betrayal and other negative consequences.
This time, the protagonist uses the name of God and has the endorsement and support of external allies, hoping to unify the thoughts and goals of his subordinates and allow him to truly obey the orders and prohibitions.
Fortunately, the current internal situation of the Divine Envoy King's legion is simpler than that of the homeland. There are very few male ants who have experienced the homeland. Most of the new generation of male ants grew up in this new continent. They have been taught that the Divine Envoy King is omniscient and omnipotent since childhood. concept, without the bad habits of the old-school male ants.
In addition, without the opposition of the old-school male ants, the protagonist also successfully supported the class of magical worker ants and magical soldier ants to contain the male ants.
Although the military power of the current Divine Envoy King Legion is still mainly controlled by male ants, the Divine Soldier Ants also have specialized troops, which has opened a gap in China from the male ants' tight control of military power. In terms of scientific research, administration, etc., the magical worker ants and the great worker ants have even rivaled the male ants, and have even surpassed them.
A mature organization must have several factions that positively restrict each other in order to last. After years of development, the God's Envoy King Army has finally achieved this.
The most important thing is the authority of the God Envoy King, which no other ant can shake now. In the old Big-headed Ant Kingdom era, those institutions that could limit the power of the Divine Envoy King, such as the Great King's Council and the Oldest King, either exist in name only, or simply do not have this position!
The protagonist's control over the Divine Envoy King's legion has never been so tight, so controllable. He is the legion, and the legion is him.

The protagonist assigned a number of tasks at the meeting, including preparing trade supplies, which can be traded immediately after the caravans of the hairy forest ants and bullet ants arrive.
Most importantly, the protagonist began to arrange the work of colonial development on the south bank of Qinghe River.
One of the main reasons why the protagonist has not agreed to the leaf-cutting ant army's coordinated operations against the red fire ant army is that the current territory of the God Envoy King's army is small and lacks depth and a safe rear.
Although some territories will be in danger of being defended after the canal project is completed, such territory is only a quarter of the current total area.
There is a large amount of unexplored land on the south bank of the Qinghe River, the indigenous ants are weak, and it is protected by the Qinghe natural moat, making it the most ideal rear area.
After acquiring the Star Beetle, and about to obtain giant dragonflies, migratory locusts and other beasts through trade, the Divine Envoy King's army has the ability to cross the Qinghe River to develop colonies.
The protagonist specially formed a leadership group to develop the south bank of Qinghe River. He personally took charge of it. Jianiu, Xiaomi II, Tianxian and other male ants, magic soldier ants, and magic worker ants participated, basically involving all kinds of things needed to develop the new territory. Ant talent.
The protagonist plans to deploy three legions on the south bank of the Qinghe River in advance, temporarily control the river bank opposite [Xinyang City], establish a base, and then slowly expand.
He requested the establishment of two air transport teams, requiring at least a hundred beasts, enough to undertake the daily transport tasks on both sides of the Qinghe River.
It is unrealistic to obtain so many beasts through trade alone, so Xiao Mi II's scientific research team must learn how to tame giant dragonflies and star beetles as soon as possible from the beasts and handlers who come from trade.
The plan to colonize the south bank of the Qinghe River has become a current national policy after the tone was set at this meeting. Even the canal project that has been half-constructed needs to give way to this national policy and give priority to the colonial development of resources on the south bank of the Qinghe River.
