The protagonist went to meet the envoy of the nominal suzerain country - the red fire ant country.
This meeting was not very pleasant. The envoy sent by the Red Fire Ant Country ignored all the excuses given by the protagonist for refusing to send troops, and very forcefully requested the Angel King’s Legion to provide tens of thousands of ant colonies and arrive at the Red Fire Ant Country within 3 days. Main Hive [Hive City].
The envoy also said that if the God's Envoy King's Legion does not fulfill its vassal obligations to the suzerain country, countless brave red fire ant warriors will trample this nest and steal what they need. At that time, the God's Envoy King's Legion will cease to exist, and all Ants will become slaves.
The protagonist is respectful on the face, but dismissive and even secretly annoyed in his heart.
If he hadn't known that the fire ant country was currently being suppressed by the leaf-cutting ant army and had no energy left to deal with him, he might have been frightened by this messenger!
Moreover, after so long, has your country of red fire ants forgotten how to sign the alliance under the city in the first place? I really thought that the God Envoy King’s Legion was as weak and deceitful as the Belly Ant Clan! ?
Even though the Army of the Divine Envoy King is currently spending a lot of resources on a two-pronged plan to dig the canal and colonize the south bank of the Qinghe River, it currently does not want a war to disrupt the plan.
However, the Legion of the God Envoy King is not afraid of war. If the protagonist reveals the news brought by this messenger to his legion commanders, I am afraid that the legion commanders will immediately be filled with righteous indignation and want to start a fight immediately.
After weighing the matter, the protagonist asked the messenger from the red fire ant country to wait for a while in the name of requiring the male ants to discuss and decide together.
The protagonist immediately left the nest where they were meeting, and ordered his worker ants to serve the fire ant messenger inside, as well as his entourage and guards, with delicious food and drinks. At the same time, the protagonist asked Tianxian to lead a team of guards to guard the nest and prohibit the envoys inside from going out. In fact, it was under house arrest.
Under the ruling system of the Yiyantang Divine Envoy King Legion, the protagonist certainly does not need to consult with other male ants. He just found an excuse to come out, and then let the flying knights set out to investigate.
Later that day, the flying knights returned one after another and reported the investigation results.
These flying knights went to the mainland of the Red Fire Ant Country and other vassal countries for reconnaissance, and found that the Red Fire Ant Army had been fully mobilized and was gathering in [Hive City]. There are also signs of dispatching troops and generals in other vassal states, and some flying knights have also discovered signs of red fire ant envoys appearing in the vassal states.
Combined with the fact that the leaf-cutter ant army has occupied many sub-nests in the territory of the red fire ant country, the army is at its peak, and saplings have begun to be planted, the protagonist concludes that the red fire ant army is going to make a desperate move and fight against the odds!
With relatively complete information, the protagonist has confidence. He knows that the red fire ant country cannot take care of his side for the time being.
The relationship between the Angel King's Legion and the Leaf-Cutter Ant Nation cannot be kept secret from the Red Fire Ant Nation forever. Similarly, the relationship between the Angel King's Legion and the Red Fire Ant Nation cannot always be hidden from the Leaf-Cutter Ant Nation without being discovered.
After sitting on the fence for a long time, the protagonist decided to make a decision!
After receiving the order, the Imperial Guard team quickly returned carrying the severed head of the red fire ant messenger. These red fire ants were kept under house arrest for half a day. Although they were provided with delicious food and drink, they kept clamoring to see the God Envoy King and even killed two worker ants serving them as a threat.
However, they did not realize that they would soon die. Facing a group of wolf-like and tiger-like magical ant guards, the red fire ant envoys and guards were eliminated in a matter of seconds.
Later, the protagonist asked the Flying Knight to take "Little Flower" to warn the Leafcutter Ant Kingdom, informing them of the gathering movement of the red fire ant army, and stating that the Angel King's army would also send troops to fight.
At the same time, the Divine Envoy King's legions gathered their troops and were on standby in [Xinyang City].
The protagonist’s plan is:
The fire ant army has now assembled. Their strength is not as good as that of the fire ant army, and they are short of food. They certainly cannot stay in [Hive City] indefinitely, and they have no time to pay attention to their own side where the envoy has never returned. The next step for the red fire ant army is most likely to set out in the near future to fight the leaf-cutter ant army.
No matter whether the red fire ant army wins or loses, the rear is empty. The God Envoy King's army will raid [Hive City] and take down this main nest in one fell swoop.
If the red fire ant army on the front line is defeated, the Angel King's army will occupy more of the red fire ant country's territory and its vassal lands, and incorporate them into the territory as a buffer zone for the front line. If the red fire ant army wins, the Angel King's army will massacre the city in [Hive City], taking away all the supplies that can be taken away, leaving the red fire ant country with a dead city.
After losing the main nest and destroying its highest authority, the Council of Elders, the country of red fire ants is bound to fall into chaos. The protagonist can encourage the leafcutter ant army with more soldiers and food to continue attacking and contain the remnants of the country.
The protagonist made up his mind to use his hostile actions against the red fire ant country to submit a certificate to the alliance of civilized ants.
As for what will happen in the future when the overlord of the red fire ant country comes to take revenge? That is also something that will happen in the future. When the time comes, the God's Envoy King's army will have a large rear area on the south bank of the Qinghe River and a canal defense line as support. It will also draw an ant-free zone in the territory of the old red fire ant country as a buffer. You will definitely get an advantage.
The Angel King Legion assembled six legions for the assault on [Hive City], including a tank assault brigade that had just completed artillery modifications, and a flying knight squad to assist.
The troops sent this time were not as strong as the troops that surrounded [Hive City] during the last negotiation with the Red Fire Ant Nation. At that time, the Divine Envoy King's Legion mobilized 8 legions. Today's Divine Envoy King Junjun has a big family and a big business, and he also has to take care of the defense of the canal construction site, so the number of troops he can mobilize is limited.
But today's Angel King's army has the bonus of firearms. The tank brigade dispatched has 4 mung bean caliber artillery pieces and 4 millet caliber artillery pieces. Its ability to siege cities is much stronger than last year.

On May 13, the Fire Ant Army did not wait for the arrival of some distant troops and reinforcements from vassal countries. The 120,000-strong army broke camp from [Hive City] and headed towards the front line.
Because there were too many troops from various places that did not arrive at [Hive City] as scheduled, the Red Fire Ant Nation had not yet discovered that the legions of the God Envoy King, who had not yet arrived, had begun to rebel.
A large number of fire ant army messengers were moving around, contacting the troops who were rushing to [Hive City], and turned to join the front line.
All the red fire ant messengers who entered the territory of the Angel King's legion were killed one after another by the flying knights and the ground hunting ant scout warriors.
On May 15, the red fire ant army and the leaf-cutter ant army began to confront each other and started a tentative fight. A decisive battle was about to break out.
On the same day, the Divine Envoy King's legion assembled in [New Yang City] officially sent out troops, heading north, planning to pass through the Black Forest and attack [Hive City].
He besieged [Xinyang City] twice, forcing the Divine Envoy King's legions to become vassals, and forcing the Divine Envoy King's legions to pay tribute.
The Red Fire Ant Nation and the God Envoy King's Army have long been enemies. The protagonist suddenly changes his diplomatic policy and decides to capture the Red Fire Ant Nation and beat him up. There is actually a reason for this!
