The leafcutter ant representative said that the matter was serious and a meeting with the God Envoy King was necessary.
After learning that the leaf-cutter ant envoy came from [Holy Tree City] and not [Liuyi City] where an ant plague is currently occurring, the protagonist agreed to his request for a meeting.
But as a precaution, the meeting was arranged in a spacious conference room. The leaf-cutting ant envoy and the protagonist communicated on the cobblestones at both ends without direct contact.
The leaf-cutting ant envoy has a great background this time. He not only represents the queen ant meeting and female ant meeting of the leaf-cutting ant country, but also represents the civilized ant tribe alliance, and has obtained the common authorization of all tribes.
The meeting ended soon after, and the worker ants were busy using alcohol and vinegar that had recently been urgently produced to disinfect the places where the messenger passed.
The protagonist is still thinking about the meeting just now.
The purpose of the leaf-cutting ant messenger's visit was very simple, which was to inquire about the reason why the Divine Envoy King's army suddenly withdrew during the ant plague.
The protagonist replied that it was for the purpose of preventing the epidemic and isolating the Angel King's army from the ants of all races in [Liuyi City] where the epidemic was serious, which would help prevent the spread of the epidemic.
The leafcutter ant representatives did not quite understand the significance of the isolation measure. The ants have not pointed out this medical technology point. They only know that ants that died of illness are buried or burned instead of eaten as food. This is the most primitive measure. The effect is limited when the epidemic has already spread.
The bodies of ants that are not sick but are infected will still be eaten, unless food suddenly becomes abundant in the short term. Other living ants that have been infected will not be subject to any restrictions.
The protagonist has already guessed that the source of this ant plague is the consumption of large amounts of ant corpses, and the direct source of infection may be red fire ants or slave ants that originally lived in [Liuyi City].
But the protagonist has no way to tell this inference to the representative of the leaf-cutter ants, and even if he tells it truthfully, the other party will not understand it.
The protagonist had an idea and said that this was the decree of the "God". As the "Heritage of the God of Thunder", it was justifiable for the Ant Alliance to borrow the name of the "God of Thunder". As for the Thunder God's management of epidemic prevention, it depends on the understanding of the ants. Anyway, the ants There is no special "god of medicine" among the gods believed in!
The civilized ants who believe in gods generally do not doubt the "divine decree". When the protagonist was in his hometown, he used his identity as the Divine Envoy King to gain a lot of convenience by using the fake "divine decree".
Sure enough, upon hearing that it was a "divine decree", the leafcutter ant representative immediately became serious. After asking in detail, he asked if the divine decree had any instructions on how to overcome this epidemic.
The protagonist thought for a while and told the messenger some simple and practical methods, such as:
Sick ants should be isolated separately in [Liuyi City], and healthy ants should avoid contact with them.
Ants in [Liuyi City] should not continue to communicate with ants in other areas to prevent the epidemic from spreading.
You should avoid feeding on ant corpses in the near future, even if you tighten your stomach.
Use saline alkali and plant ash, which are relatively easy to obtain locally, to carry out simple disinfection in [Liuyi City].
The leafcutter ant representative listened carefully to the record, but the protagonist was still skeptical about how many measures other races could take.
Before the leafcutter ant representative left, she left a meaningful message, which was also the underlying reason for her grand trip:
In recent days, in [Sixty-One City], the black fire ant clan is spreading news. They believe that the God Envoy King's army has been immune to this ant plague (only a few ants died), and there is some secret. He said he would pursue it to the end.
As the owners of [Liuyi City], the black fire ant clan suffered the largest proportion of losses in this ant plague. It was inevitable that they would be somewhat resentful, but the protagonist did not expect that they would target the Ant Alliance. bag
Moreover, some other ant clans seem to be more biased towards the black fire ant clan this time. After all, they have all suffered the same losses, so they naturally have a close feeling...
This intelligence was completely unknown to the United Nations before, because their troops had already withdrawn, and now there is not a single ant left in [Liuyi City], creating an intelligence vacuum.
After learning about this, the protagonist felt a trace of deep malice beyond the battlefield!

In the next few days, the various tribes who received the protagonist's advice did not seem to act in full compliance with the advice.
Apart from minimizing the contact between [Liuyi City] and the outside world, the coalition forces of all ethnic groups did not take any further measures.
They had to continue to feed on all kinds of corpses. After all, there was a shortage of everything except corpses in the entire [Liuyi City].
Even corpses have not been abundant recently, because a large number of fresh corpses that died of illness cannot be eaten, so they have to continue to eat the old and rancid corpses.
After hundreds of ants died of illness in a single day for many consecutive days, the coalition forces of all ethnic groups stationed in [Liuyi City] took new actions.
Because [Sixty-One City] was littered with corpses and too dense, multiple expeditionary armies of the ant tribe decided to leave [Sixty-One City] and go to the vassal territories or overseas territories assigned to their countries to camp and forage.
Only the black fire ant clan continues to stay in [Liuyi City], while the leaf-cutting ant army plans to go to the nearest secondary nest to stay temporarily.
The troops of the Divine Envoy King's Legion on the expedition are currently stationed in the territory assigned to the Distant Blind Leaf-Cutter Ants, and have been relying on the food and grass supply provided by [Panellia City] recently.
After the All-Different Blind Leaf-Cutter Ant Clan came to negotiate, and considering that there were no deaths among the Divine Envoy King’s army for three consecutive days, the protagonist agreed that this army would withdraw from the station and camp outside [Panxia City], but they were not allowed to enter for the time being. city.
In the following days, perhaps due to the reduced density of ant colonies after the dispersed settlement, it became easier to forage, and there was more fresh food. By the end of March, except for the black fire ant family and the leaf-cutting ant family, the epidemic situation was still relatively high. Except for the severe ant plague, the ant plague of other races has basically been controlled.
However, the turmoil caused by this ant plague is far from over...
————
In addition to the ant plague and the questions from the black fire ants, the protagonist has another troublesome thing recently!
The remnants of the red fire ants did not disappear with the fall of [Liuyi City]. During a recent long-distance reconnaissance, the Flying Knights discovered traces of red fire ants and client ants in the distant [North Pine City].
The protagonist knows that these are fish that slipped through the net, but he doesn't know how the remnants of the fire ants escaped in the tight siege?
At the same time, in [Beisong City], in the originally solemn and solemn meeting room dedicated to the Presbyterian Church, there were now corpses everywhere.
Guarded by more than 10 pavement ant warriors and fire ant warriors, the "wisdom elder" stood in the middle of the venue.
Lying at his feet were the bodies of all the other elders of the Presbyterian Church except his own ant. At this moment, he became the only living elder in the Red Fire Ant Kingdom.
Or, it should be called "dictator"!
