Punish ants who violate the ban, confiscate crow honey, and deploy magical ants as military police and inspection teams to search for contraband at any time.
After many measures, the army of the God Envoy King on the expedition strictly enforced military discipline and prevented the proliferation of crow honey. The punished generals also performed well in preparation and were eager to restore their honor.
The crow honey turmoil seemed to have passed, but Zhu Jue knew that this turmoil was actually just a slight ripple, and a bigger storm was brewing.
And the eye of the storm is suddenly the mainland of the Ant Alliance!

At the end of August, Zhu Jue entrusted the frontline affairs of [Hope City] to "Gun II". "Gun II", who was still the god of crime, was eager to make meritorious deeds to clear his name. Zhu Jue promised him that as long as he devoted himself to Training, he was cleared of his crimes when he came back.
"Gun II" decisively agreed and began to perform his duties the day before Zhu Jue's departure, demonstrating his strong management capabilities.
Zhu Jue rode a giant transport dragonfly, escorted by 48 Wasp Flying Knights, and set out at the end of August to return to the homeland of the Ant Alliance.
It has been less than half a year since Zhu Jue led an expedition to the Thin Foot Ant Kingdom, and it has been even longer since Zhu Jue sent troops to the Black Fire Ant Kingdom. During this period, Zhu Jue rarely returned to his country. After arriving in Xizuzijieyi Country, he never went back once because of the long distance.
Although the lonely king is away, the characteristics of ant civilization make Zhu Jue not worried about losing power. The system of the Ant Alliance was created by him. It was built around his core. Zhu Jue also had supreme prestige and the title of Divine Envoy King. Other ants could not conspire to usurp power.
But now it seems that there are also hidden dangers in this system.
Zhu Jue once believed that he had a mature political model, management system and supervision system that he had formulated to ensure the long-term stability of the Ant Alliance. At the national level, there are the joint functions of all ethnic groups and the role of the ten tribes. At the ethnic level, there are conferences of all ethnic groups. At the local level, there are the deputy nest meetings and the ten ant groups. The normal operation of the ant alliance seems to be no problem.
In fact, the Ant Alliance is indeed calm on the surface, continuously accumulating national power, providing supplies and troops to the frontline battlefield, and is a qualified war machine.
But the parts of the machine may rust... Through the crow honey contraband sent to the front line, Zhu Jue was keenly aware of the undercurrent surging under the calm surface.
Is this just crow honey contraband? No! This is an opposition force that dares to go against Zhu Jue's will and its existence has been exposed!
Therefore, Zhu Jue did not hesitate to return to the homeland of Ant Alliance to take charge. He wanted to root out all the exposed and unexposed violators. During the war abroad, Zhu Jue did not want any changes in his homeland. Before the next war resumed, Zhu Jue wanted to perform a debridement surgery on the Ant Alliance!

Zhu Jue sat in the cabin, thinking about the specific plan after returning to China.
This cocoon-shaped cabin made of plant fiber and ant silk is tied to the back of a giant dragonfly to provide shelter for the ants riding on it. Otherwise, the wind on the back of the high-speed flying giant dragonfly is enough to knock out the ants who are not firmly grasped. Get caught up in the air current.
Under the flying giant dragonfly is a hanging basket filled with goods. On the back of the giant dragonfly, only the driver responsible for controlling the giant dragonfly stayed outside. They are so brave that they don't even tie a safety rope, or they climb the rope back and forth to check the safety of each rope, or they stay on the chest and back of the giant dragonfly and control the long reins.
The wind blew in through the gaps in the walls of the cocoon-shaped cabin, calming Zhu Jue's mind. He realized that something was not right with his emotions. Perhaps it was another failure in the battle against the Destroyer that made him feel strong on the outside, but he was feeling unconfident in his heart.
This crow honey incident seemed to other ants to be a big fuss. Although Zhu Jue thought it was of great significance, he knew in his heart that he was also taking the opportunity to vent his pressure. The safety of the Ant Alliance depends on one body, and even the fate of all civilized ant tribes in the region depends on Zhu Jue, so the pressure on him is not great.
Even Zhu Jue still doesn't know how to defeat the Destroyer, and there is almost no way to relieve the pressure.
It has been many years since they first encountered the Destroyer. After dozens of battles, Zhu Jue and his alliance forces have only achieved tactical and operational victories against the Destroyer, and have never gained a strategic advantage.
Destroyer! It is such a terrifying existence, with so many troops that it has almost no weaknesses.
Is there really no weakness at all? ? Zhu Jue didn't believe it, but he really didn't know where their weaknesses were and how to defeat them to preserve ant civilization!
Perhaps...this is a resistance destined to be futile! ? This is...the destined ending! ?

Zhu Jue was immersed in his thoughts, and his mood gradually fell into pessimism and despair. His consciousness slowly sank, as if he was about to fall asleep. Even the cool wind could not stop his consciousness from continuing to sink.
At this time, a sudden external force spread. Zhu Jue's body swayed, he felt he had lost his balance, and his consciousness quickly woke up.
One of the guarding ant warriors was hitting him with his tentacles and head. Zhu Jue did not pursue her reckless behavior and realized what the other person wanted to tell him. The tentacles intersected, Zhu Jue understood, and got out of the cocoon-shaped cabin.
The giant dragonfly has slowed down, and other giant dragonflies behind it are also slowing down to maintain their formation. In the air beside them, some giant locusts were turning from a short distance away, flying level with the giant dragonflies. They were obviously controlled by ants.
At this time, a giant locust climbed above the giant dragonfly that Zhu Jue was riding. Zhu Jue clearly saw that the ant silk cocoon on the abdomen of the giant locust cracked a small hole, and an ant silk rope with a heavy object hanging down hung down, blowing in the wind. There is a slight tilt in the middle.
Zhu Jue pulled the ant silk rope, and then the tiny body of the "madman" appeared above. He climbed down the rope nimbly and lightly, climbed directly to Zhu Jue's head, and communicated with his tentacles.
Zhu Jue had no objection to the "madman" lying on his head. The "madman" of the thieves and ants had a simple personality. He definitely did not want to take advantage or bully himself, but simply thought it was more convenient to communicate in this way.
"Madman" said that he rushed to the battlefield of the marching ant country with his own reinforcements. He saw that the air transport team here was escorted by Wasp flying knights, and saw this giant dragonfly hanging down from its body, symbolizing the supreme command of the civilized ant coalition. When he saw the official's flag, he knew Zhu Jue was here and came over to say hello.
The flag of the supreme commander of the civilized ant alliance was started to be used by Zhu Jue in the later stages of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom campaign. It can more conveniently indicate the position of the supreme commander and avoid communication difficulties when large groups are fighting.
This flag is a red flag dyed ocher with hematite powder, symbolizing the color of fire. A simple ant head is painted with black paint in the middle of the flag. Zhu Jue himself called it the "God Envoy King Banner".
