[Black Fire City], in the conference room.
Dozens of representatives of various civilized ant tribes gathered here. The black fire ant male ants were the most numerous, with more than 30 ants, followed by the big-headed male ants, with more than 10 ants, and only 1 representative from the other tribes. -2 bits.
Outside the conference room, a large number of black fire ant kings who did not have the right to participate in the meeting were also crowded around, separated by the heavily armored God Envoy King warriors who maintained order in the meeting place.
Some black fire ant kings were not willing to be pushed around by the foreign warriors, but after the "black charcoal" king who was "shaking" again came out of the conference room to maintain order, these opponents of the black fire ant king meeting who had lost their momentum It also died down.
The representatives who had been summoned by the Divine Envoy King were whispering to each other in the conference room and waited impatiently for a long time before Zhu Jue arrived late - he did it on purpose!
King "Hei Tan" immediately came over to connect with Zhu Jue. Zhu Jue immediately learned everything that happened in the conference room before he came - which male ant was restless, which one had fiercely demanded to re-elect the supreme commander, but at this moment It had nothing to do with him. The male ant stood quietly and gloomily, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the conference room, the composition of the delegates was very interesting. The representatives from the Ant Alliance must have supported Zhu Jue before, and the representatives from the Black Fire Ant Country were also on good terms with King "Black Carbon" and supported Zhu Jue. , but representatives of other ethnic groups mostly belonged to the opposition or neutral factions in previous disputes.
Zhu Jue's sudden return eliminated the dispute, but it also made some male ants become hostile to Zhu Jue, including black fire ants and ants from other ant tribes who participated in the meeting.
This is a very normal psychological phenomenon. What these ants are thinking is: Because you are missing, for the sake of civilizing the ant tribe, we have to elect a new supreme commander. If you suddenly come back, doesn’t this make our good intentions in vain? , you shouldn’t come back, it would be a sin to come back.
It is under a similar mentality that many human criminals are cynical and make big mistakes. They never think about their own mistakes and blame others or the environment for their mistakes. Ants with simpler thinking have not gotten rid of such self-interest, and even expressed it more directly.
Before Zhu Jue arrived, King "Hei Tan" had been quietly collecting public statements from other male ants, and Zhu Jue had a list in his heart.
But even with the list, he can't do anything today. Back in his hometown, he dared to kill the opponents in the King's Meeting because he had deep roots in the Ant Alliance. After wielding the butcher knife, he could quickly occupy the main nest and reunify. The kingdom of big-headed ants.
However, the various forces of the civilized ant tribe are very scattered. Even if they kill the commanders of these expeditionary forces, Zhu Jue will be unable to reach the distant ant tribes. He can only completely offend each other. For those who want to integrate the forces of the civilized ant tribe, Zhu Jue Strategy doesn't help.
Therefore, Zhu Jue only temporarily recorded the list. At this critical moment, Zhu Jue could not intensify the conflicts within the civilized ant tribe.
Zhu Jue announced something in the conference room that had nothing to do with "revenge" but was very important - a "divine decree"!
After receiving this "divine decree" from the cobblestones on the ground, the commanders of all ethnic groups were stunned. Although they did not openly question the "divine decree", the emotions full of doubts still spread out in large numbers. Zhu Jue's tentacles came into contact with It's all this kind of emotional information.
Zhu Jue did not explain too much. The "divine decree" was supreme and no explanation was needed. He then announced that in accordance with the "divine decree", the commanders of each tribe should lead their armies how they should lead their troops, and announced the plan.
After that, Zhu Jue ignored these representatives and walked away. He left [Black Fire City] that same day and rushed to a large wintering camp along the Black Creek.
Zhu Jue's purpose of coming to [Black Fire City] has been achieved. Through his personal appearance, the waves caused by the disappearance of the God Envoy King have gradually subsided. Zhu Jue's supporters have gained confidence, while other opponents and bystanders have gained more confidence. I was shocked by the absurdity of "God's will", but I had to obey it, and I didn't care about the absurdity before.
Compared with the slightly chaotic [Black Fire City], the large wintering camp where the main force of the Divine Envoy King's army is stationed along the Black Creek is much calmer.
Although they also learned about the disappearance of the Divine Envoy King, the senior commanders of the Divine Envoy King's army had an almost superstitious worship of Zhu Jue and would never believe that Zhu Jue had been killed and could not return.
Under the leadership of the camp's supreme commander "Gun II", the camp waited very calmly for the news of Zhu Jue's safe return.
Today, the great God Messenger King came to this camp again.
Zhu Jue issued the latest order to "Gun II". Although it was still winter when he could not go out, the camp immediately began to get busy with preparations. Almost the entire army was alerted and began to implement the preparations for the spring plan in full swing.
None of the generals and ordinary soldiers at all levels in the Divine Envoy King's Army came out to question this seemingly "ridiculous" order. Even if Zhu Jue asked them to line up and crawl into the water, these soldiers would definitely do it.
Zhu Jue was very relieved, which made his heartstrings that had been tense because of the approaching crisis relax a little.
After returning from the parasitic creature's nest, Zhu Jue has been silently carrying huge pressure alone. With no one to share the burden with, he has no way to talk to him and can only endure it alone.
And the mountain-like pressure, the crisis that came in advance, and the imminent danger also made Zhu Jue more brave to choose to deal with it. He...can't escape, the Ant United Kingdom...can't escape, the ant civilization...can't escape...
————
Zhu Jue stayed at this large wintering camp on the north bank of Black Creek and did not return to the previous camp.
In the original camp, the "Celestial Fairy" has already received orders. She will have full authority to manage the camp until the weather is suitable in the spring, when she will lead all the guards and other soldiers to return.
In the camp where Zhu Jue currently lives, busy scenes continue. In order to complete Zhu Jue's mission ahead of schedule, a large group of army worker ants and ordinary soldiers even used their jaws to dig out a path across the bottom of the Black River, directly to the Black River. Tunnel at another camp on the south bank of the stream.
Thanks to the fact that the water level of Black Creek is very shallow in winter and is basically frozen, this tunnel is not flooded for the time being. When the spring rains fall in spring, the tunnel may be destroyed by rising groundwater, but by then, this temporary tunnel has already completed its mission.
Zhu Jue was the first group to arrive at the camp on the south bank of Black Creek through the tunnel. Here, there was already a camp underground extending to another camp in the southeast, and it would be completed in a few days.
In this seemingly peaceful winter, the various underground camps in the Ant Alliance are slowly being connected by an underground transportation network.
Such a transportation network has slowly taken shape in the Ant Alliance and on both sides of the river!
