The protagonist did not expect that today's meeting would turn out like this. The other party's words instantly reversed the situation.
If you don't handle it properly, you will be deprived of your status as a civilized ant tribe in the Ant Alliance, and you will no longer be able to trade with other civilized ant tribes, or even coexist peacefully.
This will be a major crisis for the Ant Alliance! ! !
Go back to about half an hour ago.
Before the meeting started, among the ants that came in with the black fire ant representative, there was one that the protagonist was very familiar with. It was the traitor that the protagonist wanted to eat his flesh and sleep with his skin - Flying Eagle.
The flying eagle seemed to have known about the protagonist's existence, and looked at the protagonist provocatively for a while, then followed the black fire ant representative and got down.
It would be fine if it was just a traitor who came here. Because of the representatives attending the meeting, the protagonist could not have an attack on the spot except for looking at him. But when the meeting begins, the protagonist decides he can't let it go.
The leafcutter ant queen announced the start of the meeting. The topic of this meeting was to admit the remnants of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the old Big-headed Ant Kingdom into the "Civilized Ant Tribe" alliance!
The Black Fire Ant representative described how he discovered that the Northern Expeditionary Army was the inheritance of civilization.
It turned out that the wildfire on the south bank of the Qinghe River last year made the black fire ant clan, which claimed to be the inheritance of the God of Fire, think that the God of Fire had sent an oracle, and hurriedly hired a bullet ant caravan to go to the fire scene after the wildfire was extinguished.
The traces of wildfires are regular. By observing the wind direction and the burned remains, the black fire ants have the ability to roughly deduce the location where the wildfire first burned. They believe that the oracle is likely to be hidden in that location.
There, the search team of black fire ants discovered the remnants of the Northern Expedition Army. The chimneys on the top of the nests of the remaining Bei Expeditionary Army were emitting black smoke for a long time. This made the black fire ants realize that the other party may also have The inheritance of the God of Fire.
After careful contact, the black fire ants finally determined that the civilization of the old Big-headed Ant Kingdom represented by the remaining members of the Northern Expedition Army has a long tradition of sacred fire. Although it has lost contact with other civilized ant clans, it is obviously one of the lost civilized ant clans. one.
Moreover, the Black Fire Ant clan believes that the remaining members of the Northern Expeditionary Army and their own clan are also the inheritance of the Vulcan God.
After that, before winter came, the Black Fire Ant Nation and the remaining Northern Expeditionary Army interacted frequently and established a good relationship. The Black Fire Ant Nation assisted the Northern Expeditionary Army with a lot of supplies, and the Northern Expeditionary Army agreed to submit to the Black Fire Ant Nation. become its vassal.
All this, due to the fighting on the south bank of the Qinghe River before winter, was not discovered by the Flying Knight, and the protagonist has been kept in the dark.
The leaders of the Northern Expedition learned some important information about the civilized ant tribe and this region from the Black Fire Ant Nation. From this, the Northern Expeditionary Army learned that the power of the protagonist, the enemy in their eyes—the former Divine Envoy King of the old Big-headed Ant Kingdom—was actually in this area.
The Ant Alliance and the remnants of the Northern Expedition Army were both overt and covert. The Ant Alliance was rarely at a disadvantage in intelligence collection.
After the beginning of spring, the black fire ant clan proposed to hold a general meeting as usual to accept new members of the Northern Expedition Army. The Northern Expeditionary Army had other purposes. They sent their representative Xiao Ying to "disrupt the situation."
The meeting required the unanimous approval of the representatives to accept the Northern Expeditionary Army as a new member. The other representatives just made routine inquiries. They felt that with the recommendation of the Black Fire Ant Nation, it was definitely a certainty to accept the new members.
But the protagonist immediately had an idea.
When he listened to the Black Fire Ant representative's narration before, he already wanted to slap himself twice.
When the Flying Knight discovered the traces of the remnants of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the past, because he did not see the Flying Eagle, he only saw the Public Security King and the Senior Brother. The protagonist thought that the traitor was dead. He had a feeling of incense and maybe felt guilty. Not only Instead of trying to eliminate the opponent, they asked the flying knights to give them the fire so that they could take care of themselves.
Unexpectedly, it was these fire seeds that made the Black Fire Ant clan believe that the other party was the lost Vulcan inheritance, and wanted to recruit the other party as a member of the conference.
After seeing Flying Eagle, the protagonist couldn't restrain his anger. He wanted to stop this incident, and then find a way to deal with the traitor and the remnants of the Northern Expedition Army behind him.
The protagonist expressed his opposition. As the inheritance of the old Big-headed Ant Kingdom, the history and skills of the Bei Zhengjun in using fire are obviously unquestionable. The black fire ants discovered each other after a sky fire, and they are full of the sacred feeling of the oracle.
The protagonist can only find another way. What he questions is the relationship between the black fire ants and the Northern Expeditionary Army.
The Black Fire Ant clan is a Vulcan heritage, and the Northern Expeditionary Army is also a Vulcan inheritance. And from what we have just seen, the Black Fire Ant Nation is still the discoverer, protector and suzerain of the Northern Expeditionary Army. It is a vassal country without independent power and is qualified. Become a member of the Civilized Ant Tribe Conference?
As soon as these words were spoken, the representatives' various emotions filled the cobblestone medium on the ground. Some were doubtful, some were thinking, some were supportive, and some were opposed.
The qualification requirements for the Civilized Ant Tribe Convention have never said that vassal ant tribes cannot be accepted. However, over the years, any ant tribe that can join the convention is not the dominant ant tribe in a small area. How can there be any ant tribe that becomes a vassal?
The protagonist's question hit a blind spot and made the representatives hesitate.
In particular, the Black Fire Ant Nation also has a bad relationship with some forces among other members of the conference. Upon hearing this, these forces immediately felt that if the vassals of the Black Fire Ant Nation were also represented, it would obviously strengthen the influence of the Black Fire Ant Nation. force.
Therefore, the representatives of the Maolin Ant Kingdom inherited from the Water God and the All-Different Blind Leaf-Cutter Ants inherited from the Jaw God also expressed their opposition to the acceptance of the vassal ant tribe as members of the conference.
Those who support the acceptance are representatives of black fire ants and representatives of marching ants of the Earth God inheritance. Other representatives were undecided and did not express their opinions.
The protagonist is very proud. If the delegates of the conference cannot reach a consensus, even if there is one vote against it, according to tradition, they will not be admitted to the conference. In addition to his own opposition, the protagonist also successfully won the support of the two tribes and made most of the ant tribe neutral. In this way, the Northern Expeditionary Army would no longer be able to join the civilized ant tribe family.
After the Ant Alliance joined the Civilized Ant Tribe Conference, it benefited a lot from trade and exchanges. After seeing the Flying Eagle, the protagonist once again regarded the remnants of the Northern Expeditionary Army as a potential threat and direct opponent. He did not allow a force that hated him to grow under the protection of the civilized ant tribe.
But the protagonist was not happy for long.
Flying Eagle, this traitor, the male ant that the protagonist once trained, is also a genius who knows the inside story of the Divine Envoy King's army. He finally spoke!
Ting Ying has also been participating in the meeting, just observing, and only answering a few sentences when the representatives asked questions. Even when the protagonist is questioning, he remains silent.
But now, his statement hits home what the protagonist fears most.
It was from his speech that the protagonist realized why he wanted to kill the other party and why he refused to let the Bei Zhengjun go in the end.
Because the protagonist has a guilty conscience!
