The border between the Thin-footed Ant Country and the Honeypot Ant Country is in the large rock seam area.
There is a crack in the ground that is hundreds of meters long, like a huge and ferocious wound torn open on the earth, embedded deep into the ground from the rocky ground, hence the name.
This crack in the stone is so deep that even at noon when the sun is at its strongest and most direct, the shadow at the bottom of this crack in the ground cannot be illuminated clearly.
It seems to be a crack in the stone that goes straight into the center of the earth. No ant knows its origin, and it seems to have existed forever. This crack in the ground just lies across here, blocking the movement routes of many insects that cannot fly or jump. It has also become the natural territorial boundary between the two civilized ant tribes.
At this time, in the dense grass south of the stone crevice, about 1 meter away from the stone crevice, several ants were vigilantly looking at the other side of the stone crevice. Among this group of ants, we can see the familiar figure of Zhu Jue.
Zhu Jue's eyesight is undoubtedly the best among these ants. He personally carried out the reconnaissance mission to spy on the other side. On the other side, several Destroyers were peering into the cracks in the rocks.
The stone cracks vary in width, with the widest point reaching 3-4 meters. They are so wide that even the most jumping insects cannot pass through, and only flying insects can cross. The narrowest part of the stone gap is only half a meter, and the remains of a destroyed bridge are located at this location.
In order to import a large amount of nectar from the honeypot ant country, the Thin-legged Ant Kingdom built this bridge. It is actually a dry twig with both ends fixed with ropes and ant glue, forming a long stone crevice. The only channel.
In the past, if you didn't walk on this bridge, you would have to go around the swamps at both ends of the stone gap. The journey was very long and not easy to pass, so this bridge is of great significance.
When the Honeypot Ant Kingdom was invaded by the Destroyer, its royal family members, including the most noble queens and princesses, as well as a small number of male ants and accompanying worker ants, passed this bridge with the permission of the Thin-footed Ant Kingdom. , fearing the pursuit of soldiers, the honeypot ants actually destroyed the bridge, which not only angered the landlords, but also completely threw the remaining hundreds of thousands of ants in the country on the other side of the stone crevice.
At least the Thin-footed Ant Nation, for the sake of being a civilized ant tribe, did not pursue the honeypot ants for destroying the bridge privately. The fleeing royal family of honeypot ants also received some of the honeypot ant workers donated by the country of Thin-footed Ants. When honeypot ants exported nectar to countries such as Thin-footed Ants, they always filled their bellies with nectar from their own countries. The worker ants are sent directly. These worker ants also serve as living water tanks for buyers. Therefore, there are thousands of honeypot ant workers in the country. This time, half of them will be given to the honeypot ant royal family.
Just as the royal family of the Honeypot Ant King was waiting for the sixth batch of long-distance transport teams to return and take them to a safe colony, news came that surprised, delighted and terrified them...
In the honeypot ant country, in a nest that is still controlled by the honeypot ants, at a location that the little devil ant soldiers can reach very soon. And right here, a local queen of honeypot ants who was abandoned by the royal family gave birth to a golden princess ant egg!
In the tradition of the honeypot ant kingdom, the golden female ant eggs are regarded as the ant eggs blessed by the Flower God. The princess born after the golden female ant eggs hatch will be welcomed into the main nest and wait for her to fly to the south of the city after her marriage. , will lead a new royal lineage.
Currently, the royal family of the honeypot ant country has six lines of queens. Their ancestors are all golden-egg queens. Only the direct descendants of the golden-egg queens are qualified to become the supreme ruler of the honeypot ant country.
However, golden eggs appear very rarely. In the thousand-year history of the honeypot ant kingdom, they have only appeared 7 times, and one lineage later became extinct.
Now, when the honeypot ant kingdom is in turmoil, when the descendants of other golden-egg queens have abandoned most of their territories and ant colonies, on the abandoned land, in the abandoned ant colonies, the golden eggs ! It actually appeared!
Based on tradition, the honeypot ant king's royal family, which has not yet left the Thin-footed Ant Kingdom, immediately wants to pick up the golden egg, take it to a safe place, and bring it to the colony to increase the royal family's lineage to seven! It also boosted the morale that had declined due to the destruction of the country, proving that the Flower Goddess had not abandoned them!
However, who will save this golden egg and how to save it have become thorny issues!
At this time, the invasion of the Destroyers has put the northern front of the civilized ant tribe in the region into adversity. The sharp-tailed ant nation has been destroyed, the honeypot ant nation is about to be destroyed, and the remaining thin-legged ant nation has no time to take care of itself.
The Honeypot Ant Nation initially sought help from the leaders of the long-term friendship of the Thin-legged Ant Nation. However, the military leaders of the Thin-legged Ant Nation were suffering from being attacked from both sides and their troops were stretched thin. The previous reinforcements were completely wiped out, so they refused to send any more. The powerful slender-footed ant warriors go to save the golden eggs of the honeypot ant kingdom.
The Honeypot Ant royal family settled for the next best thing, and finally found Zhu Jue who was stationed in the Thin Foot Ant Kingdom. Zhu Jue weighed in and agreed again and again!
————
At this time, Zhu Jue's status and situation in the country of Xiaozujieyi was very delicate. He agreed to this matter with the intention of breaking the current embarrassing situation.
As the supreme commander of the civilized ant alliance, Zhu Jue had the right to command the war in this region, and hundreds of thousands of thin-footed ant warriors should also take orders from him.
However, the reinforcements that followed Zhu Jue here were only 10,000, and there were only a few soldiers. Zhu Jue lacked the strength foundation, so he did not expect the military leaders of the Xizhujieyi Kingdom to obey him.
In fact, the military leaders of the Thousand Foot Jie Ant Kingdom were very bossy about the reinforcements, giving orders this and that, almost treating the legions of the Envoy King who came for reinforcements as military assignments from the vassal state.
Zhu Jue was naturally unhappy and used various means to fight, finally making the military leaders of the Xizhujieyi Nation realize the reality, but the relationship between the two sides also became very delicate.
Basically, Zhu Jue did not interfere with the command and mobilization of the Xizhijie Ant Nation's army, and the God Envoy King's army that came to the rescue was also commanded by Zhu Jue himself. The Xizhijie Ant Nation provided food and grass but was not allowed to interfere. As a deal, the eight teams of flying knights brought by Zhu Jue will take on the much-needed aerial reconnaissance and liaison duties for the Xiaozujie Ant Nation.
Previously, news of golden eggs came across the cracks in the rocks in the Honeypot Ant Kingdom. It was also brought back by the Flying Knights when they were ordered to contact the remaining forces of the Honeypot Ant Kingdom.
Zhu Jue realized that even if he would eventually give up the country of Xizuzijieyi and go south to fight on the predetermined battlefield. But if here, the Thin Foot Ant Nation cannot be allowed to recognize the authority of the supreme commander of the civilized ant coalition, it will be very detrimental to leading other ant armies in future battles.
He planned to use this operation to rescue the golden eggs to increase his prestige in the Thin-footed Ant Kingdom and the Honeypot Ant Kingdom.
At first, Zhu Jue wanted the flying knight to complete this task, which seemed easy, but the first rescue operation initiated by the flying knight failed!
