The divine ant guards roughly shook the captured male red fire ant awake and suppressed it to the ground.
The male fire ants shook angrily. They were originally aloof elders. One thought could determine the life and death of countless slave ants, and one decision could control the future of a vassal country. But now, a despicable and barbaric vassal actually rebelled. How could the unruly fire ants not be angry?
But no matter how hard they struggled, these red fire ant male ants could not break away from the strange power of the magic soldier ants, and they could only futilely get angry.
The protagonist touches the tentacles of these male fire ants one by one, hoping to subdue one or two elders. The fighting power of the red fire ants is still very strong, and the protagonist intends to add a powerful force to the army of the God Envoy King.
The protagonist feels that we are all in this situation. Maybe there are one or two fire ant elders who are aware of current affairs, just like the "old heart" of the red fire ants.
But unfortunately, in addition to being tough, the red fire ant clan is also outstanding in its stubbornness and perseverance. Even if these male red fire ants have been subdued and their life and death are in the hands of the protagonist, they have no intention of surrendering. Instead, they keep biting the giant ants. Jaw, trying in vain to bite the protagonist to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Not only the male ants, but also the queen ants who have difficulty moving around also regard death as a matter of course, showing the tenacity of the fire ant family.
The protagonist has no time to slowly reform these captives, so he has to execute them all to prevent the hundreds of thousands of captive slave ants from having any thoughts after seeing these fire ants, and lest they be inadvertently incited to cause trouble.
But the protagonist did not completely give up the idea of subduing the red fire ant clan. The Angel King's Legion collected tens of thousands of red fire ant eggs in [Hive City]. According to the slave ants in the nursery, there were male and female red fire ants among them. The protagonist decided to raise these eggs.
The other slave ants all surrendered one after another, and the protagonist suddenly had two more ant tribes, the burrowing ants and the Japanese black brown ants.
As a result, the Divine Envoy King's army currently has 7 races including big-headed ants, pavement ants, sickle-hunting ants, belly-lifting ants, leaf-cutter ants, burrowing ants and Japanese black brown ants.
Among them, big-headed ants are the main species and hold important positions such as warriors, breeders, craftsmen, and scientific researchers. Big-headed ant colonies account for nearly 80% of all ant colonies, occupying a dominant position.
The pavement ants surrendered earlier and are more trusted. They are mainly involved in foraging and construction of large projects such as canals. They are also the doctors of the group and outdoor workers in winter, playing a decisive role.
The Scythe Hunting Ant clan has a small population, but they have long served as scout warriors in the Angel King's legion, fighting side by side with the Big-headed Ant warriors, and are very trustworthy.
The Belly Ant Clan was subdued by the Angel King's Legion after they arrived in the New World. Currently, there are not many ant colonies, and they are mainly involved in some herding and hunting work. There is also a force that serves as a long-range force and has joined the standing army of the Angel King's Legion.
The leafcutter ants are mainly responsible for growing fungi and providing extra food for the legion. Recently, they have also been involved in domesticating beasts such as star beetles.
The ants under the command of the Divine Envoy King’s Legion are becoming more and more diverse.

After completely occupying [Hive City], the protagonist ordered some selected red fire ant eggs to be sent to [Xinyang City], where the God Envoy King's army had tight control and could slowly subdue the unruly red fire ants that hatched.
As for the burrowing ants and Japanese black brown ants, they are inherently docile, so they continue to live in the [Hive City] with their queens and a small number of ants.
Most of the remaining burrowing ants and Japanese black brown ants, including many old, weak, sick and disabled with low labor efficiency, are planned to be sent to the canal construction site, where the labor intensity is high and the working environment is harsh, requiring a large number of ant colonies to replenish consumption.
At present, pavement ants are mainly responsible for the canal project, but the losses during construction are huge.
The protagonist's heart is now very hard, and these captured slave ants cannot arouse his sympathy. Instead of spending the same rations to raise them, it is better to let them contribute the last remaining heat, and at the same time save the rations to breed a new generation of young and strong ants.
There are many things in the ant world that are much crueler than this. Most of these slave ants were massacred by fire ants. Only the eggs and a small number of adult ants survived and became slaves.
Since these ants did not resist the fire ants back then, their current situation was only the result of the law of the jungle and the strong, and to a certain extent they themselves were to blame.
At least under the command of the Angel King's Legion, these ants will not suffer the same cruel exploitation as in the Red Fire Ant Kingdom, but can gain a foothold in the Legion with their specialties.
A decision made by the protagonist, more than 100,000 people had just surrendered. The slaves of burrowing ants, abdominal ants, and Japanese black brown ants, who were still a little uncomfortable with the change of the main ant tribe, were guarded by two legions. After a good meal, They formed a long queue and were escorted to the canal construction site.
The final outcome of these old, weak, sick and disabled people will be to exhaust the fire of life in hard work day after day.
Since they started a war with the Red Fire Ant Country, they also offended the powerful suzerain country behind it. The Angel King Legion had to plan to complete the canal project in advance so that it could deploy defenses along the canal in the territory if necessary.
These more than 100,000 free laborers are an important support for completing the canal project ahead of schedule.
The protagonist doesn't care how many of them survive until the canal is completed and are then assigned to a certain sub-nest to spend the rest of their lives, and the other ants don't care even less. Even these workers themselves don't care. As slaves, they have been in a state of ignorance for many years, and they have become numb.

After moving a large number of ant colonies, the protagonist ordered some ant colonies to be moved from [Xinyang City] and other sub-nests to [Hive City] to change the local ant colony structure.
[Hive City] has convenient transportation and the surrounding land is fertile. Although the protagonist does not intend to develop this place on a large scale, after all, once a war breaks out with the remnants of the Red Fire Ant Nation and its overlord nation, the Pavement Ant Empire, this land will fall into flames of war.
Therefore, the protagonist’s plan is to use the occupied territory of the red fire ant country as a buffer zone.
[Hive City] plans to house only tens of thousands of ants, and the industry is mainly low-end planting, hunting, and gathering.
After planning the future of [Hive City], the protagonist still needs to solve a threat.
The army of red imported fire ants that just broke camp and headed west yesterday didn't know that their main nest had fallen. They numbered 120,000 people, including 40,000 elite soldiers of the red fire ant tribe.
The existence of such a force made the Divine Envoy King feel like he was stuck in the throat even if he occupied [Hive City].
The protagonist plans to contact the leaf-cutter ant army, attack from both sides, completely eliminate this threat, and then work with the leaf-cutter ant army to carve up the territory of the red fire ant nation. It is best to use the leaf-cutter ant nation as a barrier to deal with the pavement ant empire. revenge.
After intensive communication between the Flying Knights, on May 16th, the Legion of God's Envoy King came out from [Hive City] and rushed to the west.
A battle aimed at wiping out the last main force of the Red Fire Ant Nation is about to begin.
