After all-night discussions, the final decision on the military aid plan was approved at dawn.
All the tired but energetic representatives were reading the final terms in their minds.
The military aid package mainly includes the following contents:
1. The four countries: black fire ants, army ants, flat-headed ants, and bullet ants each promised to provide 7,776-46,656 reinforcements via waterways.
Second, the three countries of the sharp-tailed ant, the thin-legged ant, and the blind leaf-cutting ant have each promised to provide 1,296-2,592 reinforcements, which will arrive by air.
Third, the expeditionary forces of all races were evenly distributed to the battlefields of the Leaf-Cutter Ant Nation and the Ant Alliance Nation.
Fourth, the bullet ants and hairy forest ants promise to provide as much air transportation as possible and be responsible for the air transportation of reinforcements and supplies.
Five, the Ant Alliance promised to provide honeydew as compensation for allies who provided reinforcements. Promise to provide half of the food and fodder required by each country's expeditionary force. Commitment to provide technology for the construction and use of walnut boats or related vessels.
Sixth, the Leafcutter Ant Nation promised to provide half of the food needed by each country’s expeditionary force. It promises to set aside certain lands on the old territory of the former Red Fire Ant Country that was occupied by its own country as overseas territories or sub-national territories that will support other countries in the future. It was promised that part of the grassland on the north bank of Qinghe River and the west bank of Chitie River would be temporarily used as pasture for the Ant Alliance and would be recovered after the war.
7. The honeypot ant nation promises to provide a certain amount of nectar as compensation for allies who provide reinforcements.
Eight, the black fire ant country, the marching ant country, the sangria flat-headed ant country, the bullet ant country, the hairy forest ant country, the sharp-tailed ant country, the thin-legged ant country, the dissimilar blind leaf-cutting ant country, the honeypot ant country nine The country, after the war, decided on the distribution of the land provided by the leafcutter ant country based on its contribution. Contributions include military exploits, material supply and transportation.
The protagonist is very satisfied with this draft. On the surface, the Ant United Nation has paid a lot, not only providing a large amount of grain, but also providing a large amount of honeydew, and also teaching shipbuilding and sailing skills.
But upon closer inspection, the combined expeditionary forces of the allies only amount to a dozen or two hundred thousand at best. Half of them are assigned to the Ant Alliance to assist in the battle, which is less than 100,000 in number. The food and grass supply for these soldiers, with the economic strength of the Ant Alliance, It's enough to support. Nowadays, the newly opened territory on the south bank of Qinghe River has become increasingly prosperous, and the output here alone is enough to provide rations for 100,000 warriors.
As for the honeydew, the share to be provided is affordable, and the honeydew is transported in batches by the transportation team, which is equivalent to installment payment and is less stressful. The Ant United Nation also took the opportunity to take away a piece of grassland that was not much developed by the Leafcutter Ant Nation as a temporary pasture, which can be regarded as some compensation.
The most important thing is that the land of the Ant Alliance, including the lost land currently occupied by the Pavement Ant Empire Army, will be lost in the future. In the future, all land required to support various countries will be provided by the land of the leafcutter ant country.
The protagonist understands what land means, and so does the Leafcutter Ant Nation. However, the leafcutter ant country is currently unable to provide neither honeydew nor food. Whether it can afford the supply of the other half of the expeditionary force in the future is still a question. With no cards to play, they can only use land as a bargaining chip.
This was a helpless matter. The queen ant assembly and female ant assembly in the leaf-cutting ant country both gritted their jaws and agreed to this clause one after another.
Representatives of other civilized ant tribes were also very satisfied. They all helped their countries to obtain land and a large amount of honeydew as rewards. As for sending thousands of reinforcements, it is not a big burden for these civilized ant countries, which are not small in size. Each of these countries has hundreds of thousands of troops.
Among all the civilized ant tribes, only the harvest ants inherited from the Grass God are special. They neither sent troops nor participated in transportation, and they did not even agree to provide aid twice. Even their representatives didn't bother to explain why they did this, acting aloof.
This caused dissatisfaction among other ethnic groups.
But the current focus is not to denounce the Harvester Ant Clan. Representatives of each clan set off immediately after the meeting, returned to the country, and reported the results of the meeting to their respective highest authorities. Some countries also require the approval of the highest authority before the agreement can take effect.

The protagonist returned to [Hematite City], and the flying knight messenger from [Hive City] came up to report. She has been waiting here since yesterday.
After the protagonist got the news, he didn't bother to rest. He simply took a sip of honeydew, immediately rode on "Xiao Hei" and flew to [Beehive City].
In [Hive City], the protagonist saw "Blackberry" covered in injuries in a hive room.
"Blackberry" is currently sleeping. After arriving at a safe place yesterday, her spirit and body have reached their limits. She has not woken up since she fell asleep. Even if the worker ants fed honeydew to her mouth, she was still unconscious. He swallowed it instinctively and showed no signs of consciousness.
The protagonist looks at "Blackberry" lying on a bed of pure termite silk. The large and small wounds all over her body are shocking. The ants have no surgical skills. They just lick the wounds with saliva to disinfect them and then apply antibacterial honey.
The rest depends on whether BlackBerry can handle it on its own!
The protagonist then visited other soldiers who had escaped. Of the approximately six thousand soldiers who originally set out from [Panxia City], less than a thousand have returned.
According to a report from a slightly injured male ant, their army was originally at the forefront of the evacuating troops. For several days, the evacuating troops kept getting lost and finding their way again. The enemy behind them was in hot pursuit. Every day, legions took the initiative to stay and break up the rear, and then there was no news again.
His regiment was the one that was overtaken on the last day, and it was also the last regiment that kept its structure intact. It was eventually dispersed.
Fortunately, when they were defeated and fled, the place was already very close to [Hive City]. The patrolling flying knights discovered them, summoned a large group of flying knights to drive away the enemy "mosquitoes", and used bombs to contain the enemy infantry. In this way, the scattered troops gradually arrived at [Hive City] under the guidance of the Flying Knight.
In the next few days, the flying knights searched everywhere again and guided many small groups of separated troops back. The farthest among them was a small force of dozens of soldiers led by "Blackberry".
This unit was disbanded the day after it was evacuated. It is a miracle that it survives to this day. You know, the flying knights discovered a large number of corpses of soldiers along the way. Enemies, fierce insects, harsh environment, and gradually lowering temperatures at night are all enemies of ants.
According to these ants, thanks to the correct command of "Blackberry" along the way, they overcame and avoided many difficulties and obstacles and survived until the day they returned to their homeland.
Looking at the "Blackberry" who was lying there, uncertain about his life or death, the protagonist felt that his compound eyes, which were not capable of crying physically, were a little moist. Maybe it was because the moisture in the ground was too heavy!
