Chapter 49: The War of the Ants

The protagonist takes Xiao Mi and Mulan to follow the worker ants carrying the ashes all the way, until they arrive at the main road with heavy traffic, and the protagonist finds another worker ant to lead the way back to the four-bedroom of the new home. At the same time, Xiao Mi and Mulan also figured out a feasible route from their new home to the fire.

For the next ten days, the protagonist lived a corrupt life of eating, sleeping and sleeping, lackluster, and did not waste the time of readers and friends to repeat it one by one.

These days, the protagonist has returned to eating cooked food, and he has not forgotten to bring some to his subordinates every time, and the ants under him quickly get used to the delicious and easy-to-digest cooked food. Generally speaking, ants are very picky about food, and the cooked food that is inadvertently dropped in human society will not be rejected once they find it. Of course, there are also strange ants that eat pure meat or vegetarian food, or even only one type of food, which will also be covered in this story.

In ten days, the eldest Wang summoned the protagonist to a class, but after discovering that the protagonist didn't even know the most basic knowledge about Wang, the eldest Wang directly asked the senior brother to help him make up the lesson first.

The elder brother lives opposite the protagonist.,It's very convenient to teach the protagonist.,Plus the protagonist is also very curious about the knowledge passed down by the ants.,There will be a few hours of time spent every day in the teaching and conversation between the two.。

These days, the main content that the protagonist learns consists of two parts.

The first part is about the kingdom of big-headed ants. The second part is the skills that the king (male) must master.

In the first part, let's talk about the history part, the big-headed ant kingdom does not record the history of letters handed down on paper or bamboo slips, but each oldest king will make a message package of the major events he has experienced and pass it on to the successor of the oldest king. And the senior brother is the heir of the next oldest king that the current oldest king is cultivating, and he has recorded all the information about the inheritance of the oldest king that has been passed down to this day in his mind.

According to the elder brother, the history of the big-headed ant kingdom is actually as long as 72 oldest kings, if the oldest king reigns for ten years, then this kingdom has a history of 720 years, far more than any dynasty in human history.

But even so, the elder brother tells the protagonist that the kingdom of the Big-Headed Ant is only a new, young kingdom, and that the oldest king has learned about more than a dozen other kingdoms with a much older history, some of which have been destroyed, some have gradually lost their news, and some still exist. However, due to the relatively difficult geographical barriers between each other, most kingdoms have no territorial conflicts with the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.

According to legend, the kingdom of the big-headed ant was established with the favor and help of the gods, and the events of the 40 oldest kings after the establishment are no longer verifiable, because in the 40th period of the oldest king, the main nest of the big-headed ant kingdom was captured by the paving ant barbarians, and the oldest king and all the kings in the main nest were killed.

At that time, there was only one of the most remote sub-nests left in the big-headed ant kingdom that was not discovered by the paving ant army, and the eldest king in this sub-nest was automatically promoted to the oldest king, because he was only the most ordinary king before, so he did not get the inheritance of the oldest king before, and only knew some superficial historical fragments that all kings knew.

The big-headed ant kingdom survived for a number of years, and the 42nd oldest king was favored by the gods, and accidentally obtained the power of the flame, this specific process has not been handed down, only that since then, the flame has been burning continuously under the new main nest until today. With the help of the flames, the people of the main nest can survive the cold winter by relying on the temperature of the flames to survive the cold winter by hugging down in the ground, and will not die of hunger, thirst and sleep.

Since then, the number of ants in the kingdom of big-headed ants has continued to grow, and it has gradually gained the upper hand in a new war against the paving ant barbarians. By the time of the 66th king, the big-headed ants cleared all the nests of the paving ant barbarians on the south bank of the river, and established the largest territory, with 406 secondary nests. The protagonist estimates that with so many secondary nests and the main nest, the big-headed ant kingdom has about three or four million ants, which is just as large as the population of a small country in the world. According to the estimation of the distance between the secondary nests of the protagonist's future, so many secondary nests in the big-headed ant kingdom can probably occupy more than ten square kilometers of land.

Although the paving ant barbarians were driven across the river, until now, when the river is frozen every winter, fierce offensive and defensive battles still break out between the two countries. Big-headed ants retreat underground every winter to avoid freezing to death by the cold winter climate while moving on the ground. However, the paving ant barbarians have a certain ability to move in winter, and every warm day when the sun is strong, the barbarian army will sweep across the frozen river and attack the 28 secondary nests along the river in the big-headed ant kingdom. At this time, the defenders of the big-headed ant kingdom could only fight on their own, and engaged in fierce street battles with the army of paving ant barbarians inside the sub-nest. Fortunately, the Paving Ant Barbarian army will not be able to survive the cold winter nights on the ground, and if they fail to conquer the secondary nest, they will retreat in the afternoon. If the secondary nest is conquered, a portion of the secondary nest will also be left behind to defend until the next attack is launched in good weather. Although the big-headed ant kingdom can only be beaten passively throughout the winter, when the warm river thaws in spring, even if the paving ant barbarians conquer many secondary nests on the south bank and leave an army that may be as many as tens of thousands to more than 100,000 troops to garrison, but due to the river barrier, the barbarian army will not be able to get the support of the main force on the north bank of the river after spring. At this time, the army of the big-headed ant kingdom will attack in a big way in winter, and it will generally be able to wipe out all the paving ant barbarians who remain on this side of the river before autumn. Then the kingdom of the big-headed ants will rebuild and renovate the secondary nest near the river, ready for the attack of the barbarian army in the next winter.

This kind of war has been repeated year after year, and both the big-headed ants and the paving ants have become accustomed to it, and they have continued to shed blood and sacrifice for it, continuing this cruel millennium war.

This kind of national war between ultra-long and super-large-scale ants is directly heard by the protagonist's jaw-dropping, so that when he was a human being, he also knew the history of World War I and World War II. Although the world war of mankind involves hundreds of millions of people, it lasts only a few years, and if the war drags on for a long time, one of the parties will lose because of the exhaustion of national strength. A national war between ants involves millions of ants, but the ants who are all soldiers can lose tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of ants in a year's war, and the battle loss ratio is very amazing. It's just that the main bases of the two sides rely on the geographical advantages of the river, and can produce without interference, and the queen ant continues to give birth to new soldiers, who can become adults and devote themselves to this bottomless abyss of war in just half a month.

The protagonist suddenly feels that even if he is a human reincarnation, he has a mind armed with advanced knowledge that ordinary ants cannot match. But in a war on the scale of millions of ants, he is still very vulnerable. As this inexplicable god envoy king, his mission to lead the big-headed ant kingdom to completely eliminate the paving ant barbarians is simply an impossible task.

The protagonist decides that in the future, I should run as far as I can when I go to war...... Lives matter.
