In short, the reinforcements from the bullet ants and thieves ants who arrived later did not cause any drama like the three tribes in the Stone Desert ant empire caused by their excessive desires. They quickly recognized Zhu Jue as the civilized ant tribe in the region. The identity of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
Zhu Jue also saved the cost of a rocket salvo.
After a short discussion, the "Doctor" and the "Female Doctor" left the Black Creek front line and arrived at the temporary colony. With the help of a few ants sent by the same tribe of bullet ants in the area, they began to hatch the bullet ants and fierce ants they had brought. egg.
"Madman" and his thief ants built a nest directly not far from the south bank of Black Creek, close to the eastern fortress group. This land still belongs to the black fire ant country and is not considered a colony of the thief ants. It is only regarded as a guest. Borrowed by the army.
The small size of the thief ant clan has the advantage of being small. This time they brought a lot of ant colonies by air. The number of ants at the beginning was far more than that of the other two clans. In addition to ant eggs, they also brought many types of insect eggs.
There are other thieves and male ants from middle and low-level families helping to look after the base. "Madman" seems to be very free. He is very interested in the tank troops of the Angel King's Army on the Black Creek front line. He runs to the eastern fortress group every two days. With his No other male ant dares to say anything about his status and reputation.
Zhu Jue is also interested in the giant locusts of the thief ant family. He answers every question asked by the "madman" and caters to his liking. As a human being, Zhu Jue's ability to flatter people has deteriorated a lot even though he has been in a superior position for a long time. , once applied, it is not something that an ant with little knowledge can resist.
Under Zhu Jue's flattery, the relationship with the "madman" quickly became warm. The "madman" soon told everything, and regarded himself as a close friend of the supreme commander of the civilized ant alliance in the region. Comrades!
"Madman" even told the truth about his original domestication of the Megalodon, which had become a legend among his tribe, to Zhu Jue, who he considered to be his "confidant".
For male thief ants, the most difficult aspect of domesticating insects is how to fix themselves on the tentacles of untamed and fiercely resisting insects. Once the tentacle connection is established, the male thief ant can invade the insect's brain with its consciousness. The smartest insect's thinking cannot be compared with that of the stupidest ant, so it will soon be able to break through its defenses and be forced to consciously They were all completely defeated.
"Madman" was able to tame the Megalodon back then, mostly due to luck. Of course, if he didn't have enough courage, he wouldn't have led dozens of thieves ants and more than a dozen beasts to fight back against the Megalodon ambushing him by the spring, nor would he have been lucky enough to be blown away by the wind after being blown away. It scratched the head of the giant tooth fly, and it was not lucky enough to directly hug the opponent's tentacles, and the conscious attack was completed in one blow!
Although the "madman" has no sense of confidentiality, Zhu Jue feels that the ant alliance may not be able to do this domestication method of invading the insect's brain. The domestication of the ant alliance can only be carried out when the insect is pupating and has confused thinking - this It was the method given to them by the survivors of Big-headed Ant back then. Once an insect emerges from its pupa and becomes self-aware, big-headed ants cannot invade the insect's brain like thief ants.
It can only be said that this unique domestication technique is the racial talent of thieves ants, and other ant tribes cannot imitate it.
The "Madman" is very interested in the tank troops of the Angel King's Legion. His interest is not in how to tame these large and small beetles. The thief ants themselves have records of domesticating various types of beetles.
What interests him is the advanced artillery weapons installed on the backs of these "tanks" and the qualitative changes in combat effectiveness brought about by the combination of firepower, defense and mobility.
Although the thief ants are good at domesticating insects, their processing skills are not very good. They only use the characteristics of domesticated insects to assist in their work.
For example, they used the long-distance flight ability of giant locusts for long-distance transportation and trade, used the powerful bodies of dung beetles for construction and hauling, used the poisonous stingers of scorpions and spider webs to hunt prey, and used the stings of wasps for protection. airspace.
All beast masters have their own strengths, but none can escape their own physical traits.
But "Madman" now sees a different "tank". These "tanks" only need to use part of the ability to control the beast, but they can be better combined with the ant driver and weapons to achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.
"Madman" immediately saw its value!
Zhu Jue was also happy to share with him the ideas on the transformation and formation of the tank force. Just as Zhu Jue understood that the Ant Alliance could not domesticate insects like the thieves ants, the "madman" also quickly realized that he did not have the skills of the Ant Alliance. The thief ants, who lack advanced craftsmanship and technology, cannot copy the "tank".
Zhu Jue did not hide his secrets, and he understood this clearly. There are more than one civilized ant tribe in this region who are keen on "tanks". For example, the leaf-cutting ant country has experimented with transforming the star beetle into a similar weapon, but there is no artillery. , ballistae, machinery and other related technologies that other ant tribes simply cannot imitate.
Although the technology that both sides can learn from each other is limited, frank communication and appreciation of each other's unique skills have made the relationship between the Ant Alliance and the Thief Ant Clan develop rapidly.
The Thieving Ant Clan has also become the clan that has the most confidence and support for Zhu Jue and the Ant Alliance among the three major foreign ant clan reinforcements.
————
During his interactions with the thief ant clan, Zhu Jue thought of another clan, the ant clan that was the first to teach the Envoy King's legions how to domesticate beetles - the Big-headed Ant Relics.
This ant clan used to live in peace in the southwest border of the territory of the Ant Federation, but now it has disappeared. At the juncture of the massive invasion of the Destroyer, the God's Envoy King's army has no time to take care of itself and cannot maintain contact with the other party.
As the Ant Alliance retreated from the waterway, it has now completely lost contact with the Big-headed Ant survivors and has no idea of the other party's current situation.
However, Zhu Jue will not forget the great help that the Big-headed Ant survivors have given to the Ant Alliance. This big-headed ant tribe has advanced skills. In addition to the technology of domesticating beetles, it also has technologies such as weaving ant felt and fermentation. Their technology transfer was crucial to the early development of the Ant Alliance.
At the beginning, Zhu Jue had not realized how advanced these technologies were. Now it seems that even though the Ant Alliance has come into contact with many other ant tribes, including civilized ant tribes and barbaric ant tribes, the technological level of the big-headed ant remnants is lower than those of these various ant tribes. Among the ant tribe, it is also at the forefront and should not be mastered by an ordinary ant tribe.
The more he learned, the more curious Zhu Jue became. Where did this mysterious group of big-headed ants come from? Did they really do what they said they did? Did their country collapse in the frenzy caused by the Destroyer's invasion? Are they still alive? What are they doing?
