After returning to [Western City], Zhu Jue did not rush to meet the envoys of the Maolin Ant and Thin-footed Ant tribes, but first met with the assembled officer corps.
According to Zhu Jue's arrangement before touring the country, several main legions and new legions stationed in various places, a total of 40 field legions, have been assembled in [Western City] and [Pioneer City] on the north and south banks of Qinghe River, and the winter campaign is about to begin. Training.
After Zhu Jue recovered some of his memory, he gained a new understanding of war and army building. This winter training will implement his new ideas.
In the past, the Divine Envoy King's Legion paid more attention to the update of equipment. It has been constantly exploring the tactics and tactics to adapt to the new equipment, and has gradually formed a system. However, the technical and tactical levels of different legions are uneven. This time, Zhu Jue plans to promote excellent techniques and tactics through training.
After encouraging the generals at all levels, the officers dispersed one after another, restraining their deployment and waiting for training.
Later, "Little Flower" personally led the envoys from the two communities to the conference room.
The representatives of the Maolin Ant Tribe and the Thin-legged Ants entered the conference room and bowed respectfully, with their tentacles touching the ground.
They sent a message to pay tribute to the God Envoy King of the Thunder God and Fire God inheritance clan.
Zhu Jue fed back the information and sent his regards to the envoys of the Water God Heritage Clan and the Wind God Heritage Clan.
After ending the simple etiquette between civilized ants, both parties went straight to the point, which was ant-style straightforwardness.
The representative of the Hairy Forest Ant had just sent out a message to express his intention, but was overtaken by the representative of the Thin-legged Ant. The representative of the thin-footed ant passed the information to Zhu Jue through the white cobblestone ground extremely quickly.
The hairy forest ant representative had no choice but to stop, lift his tentacles off the ground, and not eavesdrop on the secrets of other ant tribes. He looked very well-educated.
Zhu Jue already knew the reason for the visit of the representative of the Thin-footed Ant. It was indeed a very important matter, but it was not that important. He had been guessing for a long time in vain.
The Thin-footed Ant Clan just reluctantly agreed to Zhu Jue's proposal a long time ago, and the asking price was still very high.
As a descendant of the Wind God, the nobles of the Thin-footed Ants ride majestic wasps, which are not only good-looking but also powerful in combat. Zhu Jue has long been jealous of this mount, and has always thought about how great it would be to equip the flying knights with Wasp mounts, even partially.
Despite the fact that the Flying Knights seem to have no opponents recently, even the "mosquitoes" of the Pavement Ant Empire are no match for the Flying Knights. They can only win by numbers. However, among the hostile forces that the Divine Envoy King's Army has faced, there are also some with powerful air capabilities.
For example, the large number of parasitic flying insects controlled by parasitic bacteria once forced the Angel King's Legion to passively defend themselves with the help of air defense nets.
Since the year before last, the Ant Alliance has repeatedly sent envoys to negotiate with the Thin-legged Ants, willing to exchange large amounts of honeydew or crow nectar for technology points for domesticating wasps. Later, the conditions were upgraded to Crow Wine, and as long as the Thin-footed Ants set the price, everything was easily negotiable.
The Thin-footed Ant Clan has a firm stand and has repeatedly rejected the requests of the Ant Alliance.
Today, their representative suddenly came over and said that everything could be discussed, but the conditions proposed were very harsh. Not only did they require a large amount of crow wine, it was equivalent to the production of crow wine in the Ant Alliance for one month.
In addition, the Thin-legged Ants also required the Ant Alliance to deliver iron jaw knives capable of arming more than 30,000 ant warriors, which should be made according to the shape and size of the jaws of the Thin-legged Ant warriors. And asked for some armors and iron cannons, with numbers in the tens of thousands and hundreds respectively.
They even want the beetle domestication technology of the Ant Alliance and hundreds of large and medium-sized beetle eggs.
As a fighting ant clan, the Thin-footed Ants have a very good vision. During the short joint battle with the Ant Alliance, they have realized part of the reason why the God Envoy King's army is powerful.
Sophisticated equipment, this is the appearance of the powerful combat effectiveness of the Divine Envoy King's army, and the Thin-footed Ants have been envious of it for more than a day or two.
Before, the Thin-legged Ants did not have an urgent need to upgrade their weapons. Recently, with the approach of the demon ants, even last month, a stray Destroyer was blown to the territory of the Thin-legged Ants. The tiny-legged ants caused an uproar in the country.
Because they were not familiar with the opponent's details, the Thin-footed Ants sacrificed more than a dozen warriors to kill the lone demon ant. In the end, they also killed and injured another group of people because of the opponent's self-destruction.
This is just one devil ant, what if there were thousands of devil ants! ?
The leaders of the Thin-legged Ant clan have just realized that this time the enemy ants are different, and even the sturdy Thin-legged Ant warriors are having a hard time dealing with them.
This will be a holy war that may endanger the entire civilized ant clan. The Thin-footed Ant clan cannot stay away. They need to improve their combat power, so they consider arming themselves with the equipment of the Divine Envoy King's legion.
Zhu Jue weighed it up and found that most of the military equipment of the Ant Alliance is not for sale to the outside world, and the amount requested by the Thin-footed Ants this time is too much. If you want to exchange so many things with just a piece of technology, Thin-footed Ants will not be able to sell it to the outside world. The Jie ants are really open-minded.
The Thin-footed Ant Clan had supported the Black Fire Ant Clan many times before, and their relationship with the Ant Alliance was not very good. These Zhu Jue had some considerations.
But think about it from another angle. The homeland of the Thin-footed Ants is far away from the United Ant Nation. Except for some diplomatic conflicts at the Civilized Ant Tribe Conference, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two parties.
Armed thin-footed ants will also be beneficial to integrating the power of civilized ants to fight against the destroyers in the future, and can serve as a demonstration.
Zhu Jue decided that he could agree to the request of the small-footed ant, but the specific transaction method had to be negotiated. The ant alliance would definitely not pay such a high price for the wasp domestication technology.
Transactions of equal value, this is Zhu Jue's principle, and it is also the basis for maintaining the relationship between the two parties. A losing transaction is the trigger that will tear both parties apart in the future!
Then, Zhu Jue began to respond to another representative, and the representative of the Maolin ant clan could finally speak.
They brought good news this time. Some of the insect eggs that the Ant United Nations had entrusted their family to find had been found.
The representative of the hairy forest ants took the trouble to explain how difficult it was for their business group: after obtaining the approval of the leaf-cutter ant clan, the hairy forest ant business group flew long distances, braving the threats of strong winds, rain, savage ants and fierce insects, to reach nearby Contact the tree area to find the local civilized ant tribe, inquire about intelligence, trade and collect supplies.
According to representatives of the hairy forest ants, they lost hundreds of ant explorers and as many as twenty giant dragonflies before bringing back some of the precious eggs.
These are beetle eggs that are huge in size, ferocious in temperament, and powerful in battle, including the Palawan giant flat stag beetle, the giraffe saw spade, the giant forked mountain stag beetle, the giant halberd beetle, and the king dung beetle!
After listening, Zhu Jue's compound eyes became brighter and brighter, Wasp! Stag beetle! Big bug! Dung beetle!
I want them all! ! !
