Looking down from the sky, the ants see the vast and boundless Qinghe River, winding from west to east like a thin line.
The angle of view decreases, and after passing through the rainy season, the clouds become sparse and scattered, until the height of the crown of a tree can be clearly seen. Compared with the trees next to it, it turns out that this Qinghe River is just a medium-sized river with rippling blue waves. Winding from west to east.
There are no fewer than thousands of rivers like Qinghe in this world, and this river may not even be named on large-scale maps drawn by humans.
But for the thousands of ant tribes along the Qinghe River, this river is the largest river, the mother river.
The perspective of ants is always narrow and realistic, so narrow and realistic that it is easy to ignore the big things happening elsewhere that can really change the entire world.
But for a small ant tribe, a small ant nest, perhaps the land around it within a day's journey is the entire world!
The bird's eye view passes over the plains, woods and swamps on the north bank of the Qinghe River, and after flying over the gravel land, you can reach a large wilderness.
The terrain here is flat and the soil is fertile, with large and small woods and dense grass scattered among them. It is the most superior and fertile soil in the large space nearby.
And this is the homeland of the Pavement Ant Empire.
Continue north from the southern end of the Pavement Ant Empire, skipping this flat land all the way until you can see hills appearing at a distance of about ten kilometers away by human calculations.
The hills and south, covering more than one hundred square kilometers, are the domain of the Pavement Ant Empire and its vassal forces. An ant empire of this scale is extremely rare in this world.
In contrast, after the Ant United Nation seized part of the territory of the old Red Fire Ant Nation and expanded its territory on the south bank of the Qinghe River, the total area of its territory is only about 15 square kilometers.
Among them, the territory of the Ant Alliance State on the north bank of Qinghe River is roughly in the shape of a triangle with a side length of 3 kilometers, and the territory on the south bank is roughly in the shape of a square with a width of 2 kilometers and a length of 5 kilometers.
Looking at the leafcutter ant country, its native area is just over 4 square kilometers. After occupying part of the old red imported fire ant country, the territory increased to about 6 square kilometers.
The strength of the Leaf-cutting Ant Nation is already at the top level in the Civilized Ant Alliance.
Among the other civilized ant tribes, except for the marching ant nation, which needs to occupy a large area of land for hunting due to its lifestyle, with a territory of about 20 square kilometers, but the number of ant colonies is not as large as that of the leaf-cutter ant nation, there is only the black fire ant nation. The ant country has a territory of about 12 square kilometers, which is wider than the leaf-cutter ant country, and has more ant colonies.
The territory of the other tribes is smaller than that of the leafcutter ant nation. The bullet ant tribe even occupies less than 1 square kilometer of territory. In the eyes of the ants, it is just a snail shell surrounding a hot spring.
This also shows how strong and powerful the Pavement Ant Empire is.
What is even more ironic is that the territory of the pavement ant empire began to expand like a snowball after they broke away from the civilized ant tribe, that is, after the so-called "barbarism" of the leafcutter ant nation.
But now, the three and six kings of the Pavement Ant Empire are reflecting on whether their distant ancestors made the right decision to leave the civilized ant clan...
————
"Giant ants, enter, the vassal territory of Ai Shiman ants..."
"Alfalfa Hills, our clan has 1 mature nest and 3 raw nests. They fell and no ants escaped..."
"There are many giant ants. One month ago, there were not many. In the north, the kingdom of humpback ants fell?"
"Holy juice, production, how about it?"
"Holy juice, transform with all your strength, the cave is full!"
"The cave, new ants, evolving, is full!"
"Evolution, all, failure, all, hundreds, hundreds of years, pause! How about it?"
"Evolution, non-stop!"
"Holy Juice! More useful! Now!"
"Evolution, non-stop! Ancestral system..."
"Ancestral system...barbarism...the emergence of the demon ants...the ancestors...were they wrong?"
"Giant ants...demonic ants...unknown..."
"Giant ants! Little devil ants!!"
…
…
…
Inside, the three kings and six kings of the highest echelon of the Pavement Ant Empire were holding a secret meeting related to the fate of hundreds of millions of ant populations in the country.
In addition to the six kings who were responsible for the daily operations of the empire, even the three kings who concentrated on sacrifices and evolution and did not care about worldly affairs were all present from now on.
This shows the shock and threat caused by the invasion of ants, which are called giant ants by pavement ants and are suspected to be small devil ants.
The three kings and six kings who participated in the meeting all looked like pavement ants, but they showed unusual age and abnormality. Some had cracked carapace, some had abnormally long antennae, some had big heads, and some were missing. The arthropods seemed to be a collection of freaks.
What they have in common is that when communicating information, they are extremely brief, as if words are precious, and there seems to be a disorder in the brain area responsible for thinking or communication. But this does not prevent them from understanding each other's meaning and making major decisions for the empire!
Regarding the relationship between the giant ants and the little devil clan, there is no conclusion yet among the three kings and the six kings, but active preparations have already begun.
The Pavement Ant Empire, this behemoth, entered its heyday because its territory was too vast and even too large to manage. Therefore, it has always fought foreign wars or fought internal rebellions. Except for the early stages of the empire, it has never mobilized the power of the entire country. Generally, local governments respond locally.
For example, when they invaded the South to attack the Leafcutter Ant Kingdom and the Ant Alliance Nation, the Pavement Ant Empire actually only mobilized the strength of the 6 dukes in the 6 southern districts, and more than 90% of the territories did not participate in the war at all.
But this time, under the joint will of the Three Kings and Six Kings, a total of 72 duchies in 12 jurisdictions in the north and northwest began to fully mobilize. In the nearby jurisdictions directly under the jurisdiction of the Three Kings and Six Kings, 18 duchies, and countless The mature nests directly under the marquis or earldom also began to mobilize.
The nests throughout the empire, and the large number of scattered nest territories of the 36 tribes vassals on the borders of the empire, are like the various organs of a giant green beetle, working together and running together.
Just one day and night after "Mosquito" conveyed the will of the Three Kings and Six Kings to the north, millions of warriors of all races had already entered the Alfalfa Hills territory vassalized by the Aiman Ants, and massive supplies also continued to arrive during the day.
The Pavement Ant Empire, this behemoth, has only begun to show its true strength at this time. With such strength, even if the current civilized ant tribe unites together and overcomes the barriers of geographical isolation, it is still invincible!
At this time, not only did the civilized ant tribe not unite, but after the victory, the rifts continued to widen!
