The protagonist looked at the rudimentary map he had drawn and continued to mark it.
The map is very simple and freehand, not that the protagonist did it intentionally. He himself is not good at painting, and the current physiological structure of ants is not suitable for painting particularly detailed content. Just like if a person holds a pencil with one finger to draw, the work will definitely not be aesthetically pleasing or scientific.
The protagonist has no choice but to make do with simplicity.
He drew a triangle and a vertical bar on the upper left side of the black spot that symbolizes [Hematite Castle]. It is a very freehand tree symbol, which symbolizes the leaf-cutting ant country.
Then use a large circle to include the territory of the Leaf Cutter Ant Nation. It can be seen that the territory of the Leaf Cutter Ant Nation occupies the entire west and north of the Ant Alliance Nation, and its territory is much larger than that of the Ant Alliance Nation.
Crossing the leafcutter ant country to the north, there is a large blank space. The protagonist draws two crossed jaw knives next to the border of the leafcutter ant country. The jaw knives are represented by an arc plus a small bar.
That is the direction in which the red fire ant country is fleeing, and there is their suzerain country, the Pavement Ant Empire. Although separated by a territory of the leafcutter ant country, the protagonist still feels that the north is a source of threat. He uses two jaw knives to represent this enemy and remind himself not to ignore this threat.
In addition to the pavement ant empire and the fire ant clan, the protagonist drew a simple devil's head further north: a circle and two extended horns!
That is the symbol of the Destroyer, the true Sword of Damocles.
At the last ancient god inheritance ant tribe meeting, some representatives mentioned that Destroyers had appeared in the further north and were at war with the local civilized ant tribe.
Destroyer! This lingering terrifying haze not only hangs over the homeland, but even the ants that finally escaped cannot escape its shadow in this land and their new home. The new home is also about to face danger. This is a serious problem!
The protagonist retracted his gaze to the north and scrawled something on the north shore territory of the Ant Alliance.
He followed the lines of the already drawn canal and drew a continuous pattern of city walls on the south bank of the canal, which is the concave and convex square zigzag lines of the Great Wall.
Relying on the water flow of the canal and building continuous fortresses, important nests such as [Xinyang City] and [February Lan City] can be protected. This is what the protagonist draws. Other ants cannot understand it, but only the protagonist can understand it.
This plan can be put on the agenda next year. Well, according to previous procedures, it had to be approved by the joint conference of all ethnic groups.
The protagonist then glimpses the east side of the North Shore territory, which is completely blank.
The protagonist doesn't know much about this land. He only knows that there used to be barren gravel and barren beaches for a long distance. Only a few indigenous ants lived here and there, and they were very weak.
At first, the red forest ants, a vassal of the red fire ant country, were responsible for guarding this border. Now, the red forest ants have surrendered to the ant federation. From them and other surrendered ants, the protagonist learned that there is little threat from the east.
Occasionally, indigenous ants that are bold or unable to survive will invade the border. Attacks involving hundreds of ants are rare.
The barrenness of that area is famous among all the local forces, and the new queens after the wedding flight do not fly there.
The protagonist thought for a while and selected a point at the old nest of the red forest ant clan. A new fortress could be built here to control the eastern border point by point.
Back then, the red forest ants had a good idea to build their nests here. It happened to be in the middle of the eastern border of the original red fire ant country, and there was a small forest with relatively rich products as a basis.
Although a large area of the northern border of the original red fire ant country is now occupied by the leafcutter ant country, the old nest of the red forest ant clan is not located in the center of the eastern border of the ant country, but about one-third of the way. But this place can be the corner of each other with [Golden Beach City] in the south, and together they can protect the eastern border.
Even though the intelligence showed that the eastern border was safe, the protagonist did not take it lightly and made arrangements.
Back in his hometown, he believed too much in intelligence and intuition. As a result, the Destroyer made a surprise attack on Linshui City, blowing down the big banyan tree and completely breaking through the natural barrier of the river.
He still painfully remembers this lesson!
I have seen the north bank of the Qinghe River. There is no room for the expansion of the Ant Alliance on the north bank. The west and north are surrounded by their allies, the Leafcutter Ant Nation. The land on the east is barren, like an insect's carapace. It has no meat to eat and it is a pity to abandon it.
So, he set his sights on the South Bank.
In the middle of last year, he had realized that the future development focus of the Ant Alliance would be on the south bank. There is a clear river moat here, which can shield threats from the north. The land is flat and fertile, and there are no strong hostile forces. It is the best choice as a rear base. !
The protagonist marked several crosses near the black spot symbolizing [Pioneer City]. It was the nest of many local indigenous ants, and the flying knights had already detected a lot of information.
These native ants migrate frequently, and many of these nests are temporary and may or may not still be there next year.
The protagonist thought for a while and drew a large circle on the south bank, including a large area of land, which was the land that the Ant Alliance planned to occupy next year.
He placed several landmarks on the map roughly indicating the boundaries of the land to be conquered.
To the south, the end of the conquest is a dense forest, about 3 days' walk from [Pioneer City]; to the east, the swamp, which can be reached in 4 days, is a natural boundary.
Going west will be the key expansion direction of the Ant Alliance.
In the far west, the protagonist draws the shape of a small flame, which represents the black fire ant clan inherited from the God of Fire. The territory boundary of the Ant United Kingdom is drawn directly to the vicinity of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom.
The protagonist wants to open up traffic with the Black Fire Ant Country and obtain coal resources more conveniently. The Black Fire Ant Country is a full 10 days' walk from [Pioneer City], which shows how big the protagonist's appetite is.
He also drew a long canal from the flames of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom to Pioneer City, which is twice as long as the first and second phases of the canal on the north bank of Qinghe River combined. A canal for coal transportation will be dug here. , What a bold plan.
After painting the canal, the protagonist seemed to think of something again.
He marked a square symbol about three days' journey west of [Pioneer City]. There is the location of the remaining troops of the Northern Expedition Army, which happens to be stuck on the route from the Black Fire Ant Country to [Pioneer City], and is also included in the future territory of the Ant Alliance Country.
The protagonist hesitated again and again, then cruelly drew a cross on the square symbol. Then, he drew a new square outside the territory of the Ant Alliance.
These poor ants, also from their homeland, since they are unwilling to be loyal to me, let them fend for themselves.
Anyway, the Flying Knight has not noticed the presence of Flying Eagle in the remaining troops of the Northern Expedition Army. The protagonist really cannot hate the police king and senior brother. Maybe the other party already hates him deeply!
