The result of this Civilized Ant Tribe Conference was obviously very unfavorable to the Ant Alliance. Although it did not fully meet the expectations of the Black Fire Ant Nation, "Flying Eagle" knew that the Ant Alliance was in great need of foreign trade, so it improvised and formulated targeted measures. banned list.
The ban on sales will not cause much damage to other civilized ant tribes that do not rely on trade. These ant tribes are basically self-sufficient in economic status. What they lose from trade is just some honeydew. In addition to affecting the quality of life of some noble ants, It will not endanger national strength.
Moreover, the Ant Alliance is also required to pay honeydew regularly, and these free honeydews will be distributed to various ethnic groups to make up for their loss of income.
But the Ant United States is different. Although the Ant United States can be self-sufficient in major resources such as food, its developed national power is highly dependent on foreign countries for some necessary resources.
If there is no coal and only relies on burning charcoal, the output of the iron-making industry in the ant alliance will be greatly reduced; if there is no coarse salt sold by the hairy forest ants, the domestic production will only be bitter salt-alkali; if giant dragonflies and migratory locusts cannot be purchased Without eggs, it would be difficult to carry out various tasks that require flying and controlling animals.
When "Little Flower" anxiously brought back the result of the meeting, the ailing protagonist smiled instead of being angry.
There seemed to be only two choices before him: either swallow his anger, or completely break up with the civilized ants.
The protagonist did not choose these two options that were obviously planned by the opponent.
He ordered the troops on the front line to launch a surprise attack on the Black Fire Ant Army as planned. The Black Fire Ant Country originally received the results of the meeting and felt that the Ant Alliance would surrender, so they were not vigilant, resulting in a huge defeat.
On the other side, the special envoy of the Ant Alliance stated to the leaf-cutter ants and other tribes that supported or neutralized their country in the meeting that the results of the meeting could be discussed and accepted. This was a delaying tactic.
Among the forces that supported the Black Fire Ant Nation in the meeting, except for the Maolin Ant Clan, which only focused on profit, other ant protagonists were too lazy to contact them.
The protagonist's strategy is to win over one faction, suppress another faction, and gain living space on the premise of ensuring that the ant alliance will not be kicked out of the alliance and trade system of the civilized ant tribe.
Although the Ant Alliance is a new member of the civilized ant tribe, it has strong national power as its foundation and trade goods that all races like. The protagonist feels that the country is fully capable of becoming a civilized ant tribe. Except for the leaf-cutter ants, the guardians of the sacred tree, A clan, and the third pole besides the powerful black fire ant clan!
In this regard, the protagonist clarified the direction of the future diplomatic struggle of the Ant Alliance.
————
While the military and political affairs of the Ant Alliance are steadily advancing in accordance with the instructions of the God Envoy King, and the resolutions of this civilized ant tribe conference are still fermenting, the core, brain, and soul of the Ant Alliance and the God Envoy King's army are great, wise, and favored by God. The God Envoy King is experiencing a major test from himself.
The main character is sick!
About 3 days ago, the protagonist felt a faint discomfort in his body. This discomfort was not obvious at first, just physical fatigue and mental fatigue.
The body of the protagonist has not been sick since time travel. Maybe the slight discomfort sometimes is due to physiological reasons, but the body of ants is very different from that of humans. The protagonist often does not realize it, and cannot judge whether there is any illness. disease.
It wasn't until this very obvious uncomfortable feeling began to cover his whole body that the protagonist confirmed that there was something wrong with his body.
First, his respiratory system felt blocked, just like a person suffering from a cold and stuffy nose. Ants usually breathe passively through their blowholes, but the protagonist can breathe on his own and even hold his breath.
Therefore, the respiratory problems of the ants are completely different from those of the protagonist. Some natural herbs that the ants will eat when dealing with respiratory discomforts were tried by the protagonist and found to be of no use at all.
Immediately afterwards, symptoms similar to human fever began to appear, and the protagonist's body temperature increased. Ants are cold-blooded animals, and their body temperature depends on the ambient temperature. Logically speaking, it is impossible to have a fever. But the protagonist's body obviously cannot be measured by ordinary ants. He is not afraid of the cold even in winter.
Therefore, the protagonist with "fever" and "cold" symptoms could barely handle political affairs at first, but by the day after the frontline troops defeated the black fire ant army, the protagonist was completely ill.
The news that the God Envoy King was unable to see things was tightly sealed. Only a few senior officials of the Ant Alliance knew about the protagonist's illness. Since the symptoms were different from those of ants, they simply understood it as God was testing the God Envoy King in the spiritual world. .
At this time, the protagonist is falling into a world of half-dreaming consciousness that is sometimes awake and sometimes confused, where he is sometimes a human, sometimes an ant, sometimes a divine envoy king, sometimes a researcher, sometimes experiencing the test of life and death, sometimes again... Good memories of past lives.
This state lasted for 3 days. The few magic worker ants who were personally serving the protagonist did not notice that when the protagonist was lying on his stomach, there were several times small cap-like things in the gaps between the carapace of the chest and abdomen beneath him. It wants to show its head, but it quickly withers away, repeating itself over and over again.
When the protagonist wakes up from time to time, he will only use his tentacles to convey "hungry" and "thirst" messages in a daze. The magical worker ants kept bringing drinks and food to feed them.
The protagonist is extremely picky about food while in a coma. He only drinks honeydew and eats soft fat. He chews and swallows unconsciously all the time. Later, he needs to be fed once an hour.
The Magic Worker Ants were worried that this amount of food would harm the body of the Divine Messenger King, but the Divine Messenger King would still be half-awake from time to time to eat, and he was able to eat without any side effects.
It was not until 2 days later that the protagonist's consciousness began to return, and the frequency of eating began to decrease.
When the protagonist wakes up, many memories are restored in his mind, including memories from his past life! It turns out that the fate between himself and the ants started here, the protagonist thought.
But he doesn't have the energy or physical strength to recall his past life yet. His body looks like it has been destroyed after a war and is still waiting for repair.
So he basically slept for 18 hours every day, and when he woke up, he kept eating and drinking. In addition to honeydew and fat, he also began to eat some coconuts, roasted grains and wild vegetable soup.
Once, the protagonist ate half a solanum fruit and suddenly felt much better. He began to increase his intake of solanum fruit and drank its juice mixed with water.
I don’t know if the nightshade fruit has a miraculous effect or if the protagonist’s body has reached the time to recover. After about another week, the protagonist has basically recovered.
He felt that he had died and come back to life again, and he cherished this opportunity to feel relaxed.
But he couldn't relax. He couldn't see things clearly for more than a week. Now he had a lot of things at home and abroad waiting for him to deal with.
Among them, there are inevitably some problems that give him headaches...
