The northern and southern Maolin ant armies successively achieved great victories and began to maneuver as planned, preparing to encircle the main force of the Destroyer that was blocked in [Willow Coast City]. If the Maolin Ant Army's plan succeeds and they cooperate internally and externally to devour such a large group of destroyers, the results and impact will be no less than the great victory the Ant Alliance had previously achieved on the Western Front.
Zhu Jue had already learned the battle report from the flying knight. Zhu Jue, who was familiar with the aggressive personality of ants, was even ready to deal with the attack of the Maolin ants for leadership of the region at the civilized ant conference. Fighting is also a feature of ant civilization.
But the strange thing is that for half a month, the Maolin Ant Kingdom did not convey the news of this great victory to its allies through messengers, and did not use the victory to increase its influence, as if the good news in the past few days was false. Therefore, most of the civilized ant tribes in this area are still kept in the dark. Only a few well-informed people such as the Ant United Nation and the Black Fire Ant Nation, which has become almost a vassal, have heard about it.
Zhu Jue preliminarily speculated that the Maolin Ant Kingdom should wait for the victory of [Liu'an City] before officially reporting. After all, it is important to kill five-digit destroyers in one battle and six-digit destroyers in one battle. The degree and strategic significance are completely different. Unexpectedly, the elders of the Maolin Ant Kingdom could resist the pleasure of showing off immediately and knew how to be patient. Zhu Jue also paid more attention to this ally.
Zhu Jue immediately asked "Dong Mao" to increase its reconnaissance of the battlefield, flying several times a day to report on his actions. Recently, in addition to being jet lag in the defensive positions on the Western Front, he has also frequently flown to various parts of the country and visited the bases of various allies. He is in a different place almost every day.
The reason why Zhu Jue is so busy is because he is promoting a long-gestating plan, intending to completely incorporate those civilized ant allies who have lost their territory as a force controllable by the ant alliance. They are no more than vassals. remain allies in name only. For example, if we build an alliance or the United States with the Ant Alliance as the main body, and accept allies as franchise countries, all countries will have equal status in name. It seems that nothing will change, but in fact, the most powerful Ant Alliance has the final say! There are already many successful examples of this in human civilization.
Once this alliance is established, Zhu Jue will automatically have a rightful name among the civilized ant tribe in the region. He can also relieve his allies of worries and unite all forces to deal with the Destroyer. It even gradually extended its tentacles to other areas outside the region.
Zhu Jue had been brewing this plan for a long time and had been slowly advancing it. After the victory on the Western Front, he took advantage of the situation and accelerated it. In previous years, the biggest opposition to the plan came from the Black Fire Ant Nation or the Marching Ant Nation. However, with the decline of forces such as the Marching Ant Nation, the power of the Black Fire Ant Nation has gradually been controlled by factions trusted by Zhu Jue. The current apparent opposition force Only the Maolin Ant Nation is left.
Once the Maolin Ant Nation wins, there will definitely be twists and turns in Zhu Jue's plan. However, Zhu Jue did not intend to cause trouble in the decisive battle between the Maolin Ant Kingdom and the Destroyer. That would be short-sighted behavior. If the Maolin Ant Nation is also defeated, the Ant Alliance Nation will have to face the threat of the Destroyer in the east, north, and west directions. However, a powerful Maolin Ant Nation can become the screen vassal in the east, allowing the Ant Alliance Nation to The country can concentrate its strength.
As for the resistance to Zhu Jue's plan after the victory of the Maolin Ant Nation, Zhu Jue has already had a plan to deal with it - at worst, he will continue to maintain the Civilized Ant Tribe Conference. At that time, any major plans and important matters will be decided. The Maolin Ant Nation will only have With one vote, the combined votes of the Ant United Nations and the controlled tribes are enough to influence the Civilized Ant Tribe Conference. When the time comes, the Maolin Ant Nation will not accept it.
Even in order to support the war in the Maolin Ant Kingdom, Zhu Jue flew "Dong Mao" back to the Eastern Territory to take charge and personally command and dispatch, allowing the 100,000 troops and 200,000 civilians in the Eastern Territory to participate in the transportation and escort, transporting massive quantities of ants. The grain and supplies were transported to the battlefield of [Liu'an City]. Even the current defense and construction projects in various parts of the Eastern Territory have been temporarily handed over to the local garrison forces - anyway, if the Maolin Ant Kingdom is not defeated, the Eastern Territory will not be threatened on a large scale.
The amount of these materials is enough to support the needs of the Maolin Ant Nation's army that has already participated in the war for two months. Even if the Maolin Ant Nation continues to mobilize and is expected to mobilize an army of the same size, there will be sufficient material support within one month.
Although these supplies are not free, the Maolin Ant Nation has also paid a lot of money, including gold, trade goods, ant eggs of various races, insect eggs of various colors, etc. But in general, the price given by Zhu Jue is very fair, and even allows credit and installment payment.
. In this regard, the Maolin Ant Kingdom envoy also showed the gratitude from the elders during the exchange. It's just that this little gratitude is of little use. Sooner or later when the two sides argue over interests, it will be forgotten. Both sides know this very well.
But at least for now, under the pressure of the common hostile force of the Destroyer, the Ant United Nation and the Maolin Ant Nation have entered the best period of their relationship in history. Just look at the transportation scene in the east for confirmation:
The huge transport team and escorting army set off in ten waves, one day apart. Currently, the first wave has passed the main nest of the Maolin Ant Kingdom and is heading towards [Willow Coast City] via the shortest route. And the last wave has not even entered the Maolin Ant Kingdom. The endless flow of scenes is like two old allies helping each other.
————
On the 12th day after the victory of the North Route Maolin Ant Army, the North Route Army had already pushed towards the main force of the Destroyer from the northern flank. The defenders of [Liu'an City] no longer skimped on their strength and frequently attacked to contain the enemy.
Because the distance was too far, the "Radar Destroyers" were beyond the communication range, and the main force of the Destroyers did not yet know that all the partial divisions in the north and south had been destroyed. The Maolin ant army on the south road is rushing to the [Liu'an City] battlefield. When the time comes, they will be encircled from the north and the south and attacked from both inside and outside. With a huge numerical advantage, and with the help of the remaining white-flowered pyrethrum poison weapons that could handle a big battle, the Maolin Ant Army was looking forward to a big victory.
However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there are also some shadows hanging over the battlefield. Aerial reconnaissance revealed that outside the border of the Maolin Ant Kingdom, there were traces of three more small but not insignificant Destroyer divisions, approaching the battlefield.
There are a total of 60,000 to 70,000 of these destroyers. If they join the war, it is likely to destroy the plan of the hairy forest ant army to annihilate the enemy in [Liu'an City], and "Shui Jing" and the main force at hand of the commander of the South Route Army "Shui Xing" do not dare to Deploy them to stop the enemy.
Fortunately, these three groups of destroyers are still far away, so the elders of the main nest of the Maolin Ant Kingdom gathered together and divided the 600,000 new troops that had just been assembled into three groups, bypassing the battlefield to block them, and protecting the main battlefield at all costs. of expansion. The troops that will be assembled later will take the shortest route to the battlefield of [Liu'an City] to join the battle.
[In view of the general environment,
The plan was almost perfect!
