Chapter 273: The Flyfly Eagle (1)
The Fly Eagle was born in Dongyang City.
When he was an ant egg, or broke out of the egg to become a white and fat worm, or turned into an ant chrysalis with a pasty, sticky substance on the inside, except for the shell, he was basically unconscious at these stages.
This kind of unconsciousness is not like a human child who grows up and loses the memories of before the age of two. Human children of one or two years old have memories, thinking abilities and emotions, and will actively play and seek solace.
But ants' eggs, larvae, and chrysalis do not have this active emotion, they are just eating, excreting, growing, and developing based on instinct. If it is more like a certain stage of human beings, it is more like an unformed fetus in the mother's womb, an early embryo that can't even suck a finger.
Flyhawks don't remember what happened before they broke their pupae, so ants often don't think of their pre-pupation species as their own kind, but as something like grain in a warehouse.
However, once the pupa breaks, these ants naturally join the ant family, and their social status is basically fixed. It all depends on whether you are a male or female, and a female depends on whether you are a queen, a soldier ant, or a worker ant.
Fortunately for the Flyhawk, he belongs to the most "noble" males.
This idea was taught to him by a male ant in charge of teaching.
After breaking the chrysalis, the fly eagle finally has memories, emotions, and thoughts. The most meaningful time of his life was after the pupa broke. Just as the greatest contribution of human beings to society is often in adulthood.
Of course, at this time, the fly eagle did not know that it had been given a name with human cultural significance - the dragonfly: the overlord dragonfly with sharp eyes like an eagle and soaring in the blue sky.
This name is the protagonist's code name for distinguishing between different ants, and only the protagonist knows what he means. He didn't tell any of the ants that I gave you a name, what does your name mean. He couldn't explain to these ants what the eagle in the sky, the lion in the savannah, or the first drop of blood Rambo was.
Ants don't need to know that they have their own identification system based on smell, antennae and memory, which can distinguish between enemies and their own species, and can easily distinguish between everyone they know, whether he or she is a male, queen, soldier or worker.
Flyhawk doesn't know that he is called Flyhawk, but that doesn't stop him from growing up and going into a legendary experience.
As newborn males, according to the tradition of the big-headed ant kingdom, they will be taught the basics by the dominant male ant of the secondary nest. Much of this knowledge is in their genes, but it is necessary to have practical experience to motivate them.
Just like when the protagonist learned to command and hunt ordinary ants in a group from Lao Wang.
The Dragonfly Eagle was born with a special birth, and the ruler of "Dongyang City" was a great messenger king. Naturally, the Divine Envoy King didn't have the energy to take care of these young males, not to mention that their batch of double-digit newborn males was not something that a ruling male ant could teach in a spare time. The gathering of so many males of the same group is rare in secondary nests everywhere except for the main nest.
The Divine Messenger King gave the task of educating the future ruling class to the other males, and he formed a male-ant school.
In the beginning, the Flyhawk's teacher was a disabled male ant. This male ant comes from the main nest, is old, and although he is still an ordinary king, he has experienced a lot of things and accumulated a lot of experience required for various jobs. In particular, he participated in the glorious Reconquista not long ago, and was invincible under the command of the Divine Envoy King.
In addition to teaching the young males some basic knowledge and skills as required, the king also often shares information packets of war scenes, which makes the blood boil for a group of young, aggressive young males who have never seen the world.
It was from that time that the Eagle began to want to make achievements on the battlefield and eventually become the king of the army. That is also the ideal of all male ants, although in the end, most male ants can only be a squad commander, or consume a little bit of life time in the administrative chores of the main nest and the secondary nest.
But the ideal still has to be there, otherwise what is the difference with dried mealworms.
This teacher was the first ant to have a significant impact on the Flyhawk, and in addition to the basic skills and longing for battle exploits, he also taught the young Flyhawk about the history and system of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, as well as the nobility, glory and pride of the male ant class.
Since then, the protagonist, as well as the same group of male ants around him who have broken their pupae but are later than him: the mantis tiger, dung rhinoceros, spade elephant, beetle, manticore, manticore, spider wolf, centipede, mantile leopard, and locust jackal, have more or less established their own goals and beliefs in ant life.
The second ant that has a great influence on the fly is Rambo Fei.
Rambo Fei is the ant entrusted by the protagonist with the task of educating young male ants, but he is also responsible for the daily work of "Dongyang City", and he can spare only a limited amount of time, and he usually entrusts the male ants who retired from the field army of the god envoy king due to disability or internal injury to do this work.
But from time to time, Rambo Fei will also teach these young male ants himself.
His education was more focused on administrative matters, but unfortunately the Flyhawk was not interested in that. Like most males, he seeks to achieve victory in the marriage and flight ceremony of the future main nest, to get a chance to mate, and to keep his offspring.
Of course, it is more important because, he knew from the first teacher that the victor can stay in the main nest and have more chances of becoming a king.
He didn't like to spend the rest of his life counting food stocks, directing the construction of nests, foraging, and hunting. Battlefield and military exploits, this is his pursuit.
Still, Flyhawk learns a lot of new things from Rambofei. Including the unique tactics of the Divine Envoy King's legion, the deeds and exploits of the great Divine Envoy King, and so on.
The third person who had a great impact on the life of the Flyhawk and his future choices that would be crucial and even change history was naturally the Great Divine Envoy King himself.
The young Flyhawk did not see the Divine Messenger King for the first time until a month after the pupae broke.
In his eyes, the king was exceptionally tall - compared to the other ants, the protagonist's body was indeed tall among male ants, and certainly not beyond the normal range.
And I heard that he is so powerful that he can defeat a terrifying mantis on his own - this is also true, but it is a slight exaggeration, the protagonist also once killed a mantis in the state of "gods descending to earth" with the assistance of his own kind.
In any case, the god made the king himself have a great influence on the dragonfly eagle.
