The scouts outside the Black Fire Ant Army camp quickly discovered that the person coming was an envoy from the Alliance of Ants. The male Black Fire Ant leading the team knew that the matter was serious, suppressed the murderous intentions of his subordinates, and reported to the commanders. .
To be precise, the envoy who came this time was Ant, who originally belonged to the Northern Expeditionary Army. After being captured in the previous conflict, Ant, who had been persuaded to surrender to the Ant Alliance, was ordered to carry out this mission.
We are both members of the big-headed ant clan, and when the God Envoy King performs miracles, and the Ant Alliance has material temptations that the ants cannot refuse, it is not difficult to persuade some unsteady male ants from the Northern Expedition Army to surrender. As for the worker ants, only the male ants follow suit. Once a male ant surrenders and gives orders, all of them will switch sides.
The protagonist is not at ease with these surrendered generals. The past events of "Flying Eagle" and the previous assassination in the spring are still fresh in his mind. Therefore, for this dangerous mission, the surrendered general came with the surrendered troops.
The commander of the black fire ant army "Hui Tan" summoned some of his generals and leaders of the vassal ant tribe to meet with the male big-headed ants in the underground camp. He didn't know what was going on with the Ant Alliance across the street, so he had to take a look first. Anyway, he wasn't afraid in the heavily guarded camp.
The current relationship between the Black Fire Ant Nation and the Ant Alliance Nation is very delicate. To say that the two countries are currently in a state of war, the Ant Alliance Nation has just announced that it will accept the mediation of the Leaf Cutter Ant Nation at the Civilized Ant Tribe Conference and has paid a large amount of money. Crow wine as "compensation" is generally considered to be very sincere.
But to say that the two armies have ceased fighting, 200,000 black fire ants and client ants were slaughtered not long ago. This is not a small number, accounting for almost one-third of the total ant population in the black fire ant country. It can be said that lost heavily. Even if the black fire ant country has sufficient food reserves, it will take some time to replace the lost ant colonies. The kings of black fire ants will not easily expose this hatred.
The Ant Alliance recently informed the Black Fire Ant Country that they had captured a large number of male black fire ants and required the Black Fire Ant Country to spend a large amount of coal and food to redeem them. The Black Fire Ant Nation sought help from other civilized ant tribes and jointly put pressure on the Ant Alliance, demanding that the other party immediately release hundreds of male ant captives, but the Ant Alliance decisively refused.
So now, the two armies confronting each other on the border are in a strange situation of wanting to fight but not fighting. At this juncture, an envoy from the Ant Alliance suddenly arrived, which made "Hui Tan" confused and unable to guess. The intentions of the Ant United States.
Even the top leaders of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom, including the newly promoted Divine Envoy King "Flying Eagle", could not figure out Zhu Jue's intentions. Only then will there be a scene of 300,000 troops motionless at the border, wasting food and fodder.

When the male ant envoy from the Ant Alliance entered the conference room of the underground camp, the "Stubborn King" of the Northern Expeditionary Army who attended the meeting immediately recognized his identity. After all, he was once a colleague.
The "Stubborn King" wanted to touch and communicate with his tentacles. The messenger saw it, but hurriedly avoided the "Stubborn King"'s tentacles and was not happy.
The commander of the Black Fire Ant Army, "Hui Tan", was dissatisfied with the "Stubborn King"'s behavior of privately contacting the enemy's envoys, and he had long been prejudiced, so he immediately ordered the guards to drive the "Stubborn King" out.
The "Stubborn King" was full of doubts and had no place to seek answers, so he could only wait outside in frustration. He knew that the last time the black fire ant army was wiped out, he escaped, which had long made many black fire ant nobles dissatisfied. If it weren't for the "flying eagle" covering it, it would have been impossible for him to continue to lead the troops in this military operation.
When the meeting was over and the "Stubborn King" went in, he discovered that the male ant from the old Northern Expeditionary Army whom he knew was dead.
There were corpses scattered on the ground, but the male black fire ants were all complacent and didn't care.
The "Stubborn King" was very dissatisfied with this. He endured his temper and found a king who had a good attitude toward him to find out what was going on.
The king said: The envoys of the Ant Alliance brought 6 snail shells of crow wine and presented them to the nobles of our army. Everyone was very happy and was already discussing how to distribute these precious crow wines.
The "Stubborn King" became even more confused and asked why he killed the envoy.
Answer: This envoy conveyed the wishes of the Ant Alliance, asking our army to retreat, and stated that it would no longer target the Ant Alliance. The other party would give another 12 snail shells of crow wine as a thank you, and also promised not to assemble large armies at the border.
As a result, "Huitan" got 6 Snail Shell Crows in vain. After drinking, he didn't want to withdraw his troops at all. He didn't have the guts to find a reason to deal with the superiors. He was also angry that all the previous troops were wiped out. For some reason, he directly killed the envoy to vent his anger. The former Northern Expeditionary Army soldiers who had even brought the wine were killed, except for the two that were left to return to their lives.
The "Stubborn King" suppressed the anger in his heart. In his opinion, the "Hui Tan" killed were all ants from the Northern Expeditionary Army. These male ants and warriors would definitely return to the orthodoxy as long as he communicated with them. Under the command of the God Messenger King.
As a result, they were all killed!
The "Stubborn King" sent a secret envoy to report the matter to "Flying Eagle" when he returned.

Although the underground camp of the Black Fire Ant Army is very simple, the nest of its commander "Hui Tan" is still relatively comfortable.
According to the tradition of the black fire ant clan, the fire talisman was smeared with reddish-brown soil on the wall of the nest, but there was no other decoration.
The furnishings in the house are also very simple. A ball of hay fiber is spread on the ground, and "Hui Tan" is lying on it comfortably.
Two black fire ant soldiers were guarding the only entrance and exit, and one worker ant was inside the nest, accompanying "Hui Tan".
I saw these two ants suddenly facing their jaws, mouth facing their mouth, and swallowing. Don't get me wrong, they are not doing any "advanced" behavior, nor are they in a "stamp collecting" relationship.
"Hui Tan" was simply enjoying the crow wine.
The Black Fire Ant Country has not popularized pottery, woodware, stoneware and even metal utensils like the Ant United Country. Only ants with particularly high status are eligible to use the small number of precious containers obtained through trade.
For example, "Hui Tan" has some fine clay pots and bowls, which are high-end products imported from the United Kingdom. The coarse pottery made in the Black Fire Ant Kingdom is now only used by middle- and lower-level male ants at the king level.
But outside the war, he couldn't carry valuable and fragile pottery with him. In order to show his identity, he usually had to be fed mouth-to-mouth by specialized worker ants when eating. "Hui Tan" even thought that the crow wine spit out from the belly of the worker ants would have more flavor.
He got 6 snail shell crow wine for nothing. As the commander, "Hui Tan" got 6 drops himself, and he had already drank 1 drop.
Lying on the haystack, "Hui Tan" felt warm all over after drinking. A comfortable feeling spread from his stomach to his whole body. Such a comfortable feeling could only be overcome by "Hui Tan" after his wedding flight. You only experience this when your opponent grabs the female ant.
But now, with just one drop of wine, he can feel the pleasure that will last a lifetime, which makes him want to stop!
