After this [Six Three City] battle, clean up the battlefield and check the results.
A shocking statistics revealed that Zhu Jue's 150,000-strong army had as many as 40,000 killed, and more than 60,000 wounded soldiers. Many of them may die of severe injuries and frostbite in the next few days, and few of those who survived were healthy. The losses were heavy. The soldiers who had the strength to fight were also exhausted, and they were unable to even guard the prisoners.
However, the results of this battle were also brilliant. More than 300,000 enemy troops were wiped out. In addition to the tens of thousands of soldiers who died on the spot and those who were seriously injured and left to die on the battlefield, a total of 110,000 Pavement Ant soldiers were captured. Only Hundreds of enemy troops escaped by chance, which is no longer the case.
It was precisely because there were too many prisoners that Zhu Jue had a headache for a while... Finally he understood why prisoners were sometimes killed in large numbers in the human world!
The strategic significance of this war is of great importance. After successive battles, the elite troops of the Pavement Ant Empire's southern invasion have been wiped out. There are still some scattered small troops and ants scattered in the occupied areas. Altogether, although there are still There are hundreds of thousands of people, but their strength is scattered and their combat effectiveness is weak. They have lost the ability to take the initiative to attack.
It can be said that after the battle in [Liu San City], the south-invading Pavement Ant Imperial Army was like ants without their jaws, no longer posing a big threat. The initiative in the war changed hands. Now it is the civilized ant alliance that regains the lost ground and even launches a massive counterattack. opportunity.
After the victory, the finishing work was tedious and complicated. Zhu Jue ordered all armies to properly take care of the prisoners of war and treat the wounded. Fortunately, in the morning, the belated leaf-cutting ant army finally arrived on the battlefield. With this new force to guard it, Zhu Jue separated the commanders and soldiers of the paving ant empire army and detained them separately, so he finally didn't have to worry about recovering. The pavement ant captives riot.
Later, Zhu Jue personally flew to [Liu San City] and summoned all local tribes to report their victory, which caused a sensation. Zhu Jue's fame and prestige greatly increased.
Zhu Jue took the opportunity to propose a spoils distribution plan: all Pavement Ant captives would be owned by the Ant Alliance, and the captured food and supplies would be distributed to all participating tribes. At the same time, because the leaf-cutter ant army missed the opportunity to fight, only a small number of troops participated in the war. After regaining the lost territory in the future, part of the neighboring territories will need to be compensated to the local tribes participating in the war as a punishment.
This plan, which excluded representatives of the leaf-cutting ants and harmed the interests of the leaf-cutting ant clan, quickly received favorable responses from all tribes. In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, Zhu Jue proposed to convene a civilized ant tribe meeting to clarify this "spoils". Limited to all races participating in the war, the meeting location was not [Holy Tree City] for the first time, but was held in [Liu San City], and it was held the next day!
After the Flying Knight notified the Leafcutter Ant Kingdom, a Leafcutter Ant Princess hurried to [Liu San City] on her mount at noon the next day.
She was just sent here to check out the situation and express the protest of the ant queen conference in her country! But before she could protest that this civilized ant tribe meeting was irregular, Zhu Jue announced that representatives from all tribes had arrived, the meeting had begun, and he made demands.
Representatives from all ethnic groups clamored for agreement. The female Leafcutter Ant Princess, who was still in a state of confusion, had no say. The brief meeting ended. The results of the meeting were almost sent to the Leafcutter Ant Kingdom in the form of an ultimatum, allowing the Leafcutter Ants to The queen ant and the princesses were very angry.
Zhu Jue led various tribes to put pressure on the Leaf Cutter Ant Nation. The Leaf Cutter Ant Nation strongly opposed this, which Zhu Jue expected.
The final agreement reached by all parties was:
The prisoners in this battle still belong to the Ant Alliance, and the participating tribes will still receive compensation for captured materials and increased territory.
In order to compensate the Leaf-cutter Ant Army for losing part of its territory but still gaining nothing, each tribe promised to send troops in the subsequent war to regain the lost territory, and all captives would belong to the Leaf-cutter Ant Army. The seized materials would be equally divided according to the proportion of troops sent, and the Ant Alliance would give up the power of the seizure. .
It seems that Zhu Jue gave in, but in exchange, Zhu Jue's biggest hidden purpose was achieved - he called for the establishment of a civilized ant military committee to resist external threats such as destroyers, parasites, and the pavement ant empire.
After the establishment of this military committee, each tribe will send one representative to participate in the meeting. At the same time, Zhu Jue will have a separate seat as the supreme commander of the civilized ant tribe alliance, with a total of 13 seats. The committee makes decisions based on the principle that the minority obeys the majority and has the power to coordinate the military forces of all ethnic groups.
In this way, the 13 seats on the Military Committee means that as long as any proposal receives 7 votes in support, it can temporarily gain nominal command over all civilized ant military forces in the region.
This is exactly Zhu Jue's calculation: he himself has 2 votes with the Ant Alliance, and the Black Fire Ant Nation, controlled by King "Black Carbon" who has become a die-hard supporter, has 1 vote. He is suffering from the pain of annihilation and relies on the assistance of the Ant Alliance, and has a good relationship. The three tribes of sharp-tailed ants, honeypot ants, and thin-legged ants have 3 votes. Zhu Jue feels that he will definitely get 6 votes every time. If he can get another vote at will, this military committee will be his own.
For example, the hairy forest ants who like to trade have nothing to do with the world. As long as there are enough benefits, they can buy this vote. The five tribes of army ants, bullet ants, leaf-cutting ants, flat-headed ants, and harvest ants have different interests and can be drawn together on specific matters. In this way, except for the leaf-cutting ant clan, which is currently very discordant and difficult to win over, most of the seats in this military committee can be regarded as direct or indirect representatives of Zhu Jue's will!
In other words, with this military committee, Zhu Jue is the uncrowned king of the civilized ants in this region!
Representatives of all races who have little idea of political strategy feel that there are too many external threats now. Even the leaf-cutter ants, who instinctively hate the Ant Alliance for taking away their own voice, agreed to establish the establishment because Zhu Jue made concessions this time. Military Commission.
The representatives of the ant tribe present do not yet know how significant the establishment of the military committee is, but in the future war against the Destroyer, this military committee will indeed prevent all civilized ant tribes from fighting independently to a long extent. situation.
————
An emergency meeting was held on the third day after the establishment of the military committee. Even representatives of several ethnic groups who were far away hurriedly sent representatives to attend this significant meeting.
At the meeting, they discussed how to deal with the Destroyer's offensive against the Marching Ant Kingdom. Zhu Jue proposed that all tribes immediately mobilize all the forces they can to gather in the Marching Ant Kingdom to fight the Destroyer to the death!
This proposal was supported by Zhu Jueben Ant, Ant Alliance, Black Fire Ant, Sharp-tailed Ant, Honeypot Ant, Thin-legged Ant, Marching Ant, Bullet Ant, Sang's Flat-headed Ant, and Quan The heteroblind leaf-cutter ant nation received 10 votes in support, while only the hairy forest ant nation, leaf-cutter ant nation and harvest ant nation either opposed or remained silent.
The proposal was passed with an overwhelming advantage. Each tribe raised troops and supplies separately, and Zhu Jue flew directly to the battlefield after the meeting!
