However, although he is eager to destroy the Western Alliance, the protagonist also knows that the main army under his command has experienced a big battle and needs time to rest.

The First Legion of Rolling, the Second Legion of Rambo Fly, the Third Legion of Rambovan, the Fourth Legion of Rambotu, and the Fifth Legion of Ramborough have all returned to the main nest "Qingqiu City" to replenish their troops and recuperate their strength to prepare for the next big battle.

The reason why the protagonist is in a hurry to eliminate the Western Alliance is not because of how big its military threat is.

The prestige of this improvised, core male ant colony of the alliance lacked prestige and was unable to pull together a cohesive team like the old-fashioned king, confronting the legions of the Divine Envoy King head-on and forming a major military threat.

The Western Alliance has always been a small military attack, and although it annoys the protagonist, it is not very harmful.

After the collapse of the old-fashioned kings in the northeast, it was only a matter of time before the Western Alliance, which lacked foreign aid, would fail, and they did not have the strength to resist the onslaught of the Divine Envoy King's army.

The reason why the protagonist is in a hurry is because according to intelligence, the queen inheritance faction in the south has been growing rapidly recently.

They have integrated the entire southwest and west of the kingdom, with disobedient secondary nests being subverted, and obedient secondary nests being taken over by male ants loyal to the queen. This force relied on the prestige of the oldest king and the innate righteousness of the great name to rapidly expand its power.

The protagonist has already anticipated that there will be a break between himself and the Queen Ant's Inheritance faction, and the difference in ideas between the two sides is no less than that between himself and the King's Conference faction.

Before, he couldn't spare his hands, so he could only sit back and watch the rapid development of the Queen Ant's inheritance faction.

But now that the old-fashioned king and other rebel forces have been wiped out, he has firmly controlled the central area near the main nest "Qingqiu City" and the northeast area around the "Hunting Ground City", controlling one-third of the land and half of the ant mouth of the original big-headed ant kingdom, and there are still a large number of neutral secondary nests in the east of the kingdom that can be expanded.

The confrontation between the Divine King's forces in the east and the Queen Ant's inheritance faction in the west has taken shape.

Unlike the old-fashioned kings, the Queen Ant Inheritance faction is stronger, and its beliefs and cohesion are also extremely strong. The protagonist fears that a future civil war between the two forces, which already control large swaths of their territory, could be protracted and devastating.

This is not in the interests of the protagonist, he naturally wants to control the entire territory of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom with less loss faster, and then he can march to the north bank of the Great River and completely dominate this mountain basin.

Since the relationship with the Queen Ant's Inheritance faction has not been severed, the other party will also send messengers to communicate from time to time, and the protagonist does not have spare troops to open up new battlefields for the time being, so the protagonist can only secretly stumble on this future opponent.

The main way to do this is to limit the speed at which the opponent can expand.

Just as the rolling army was in a decisive battle with the old-fashioned king's army in the northeast, the protagonist also drew Lambray's Fifth Army and captured the "Malachite City" in the south.

This sub-nest is not only rich in copper ore resources, but also connected to "New Salt City" and other places, blocking the expansion of the Queen Ant Inheritance faction to the southeast, giving the protagonist time to annex some of the unsubjugated side nests in the south.

After that, the power of the Queen Ant Inheritance faction turned around and expanded northward, starting from their base camp in the southwest of the kingdom and expanding all the way north to the west and central parts of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom.

Unlike the protagonist who is unable to subdue the other males and has to expand their territory militarily, the Queen Ant Inheritance faction has an ancient tradition of righteousness, and is a good new service for the ruling males of the secondary nest who have fallen into confusion and confusion due to the collapse of the main nest "King's Conference", so they can often peacefully take over the secondary nest.

Even if there is an opposing secondary nest, the male ants are loyal to the male ant ruling class such as the Council of the Great King, and the oldest king often sends "assassins" to go to war, rather than choosing to start a war.

Under the two-pronged approach, the Queen Ant Inheritance faction has become dominant in the western part of the kingdom, and in the middle of the kingdom, it is controlled by the Western Alliance's territory and the Divine Envoy King Legion.

The last thing the protagonist wants now is for the forces of the queen ant inheritance faction to enter the northwest of the kingdom, which is a fertile land close to the big river, and like the northeast region, the secondary nest is dense and abundant, and whoever controls the banks of the big river controls one-third of the ant population and production of the big-headed ant kingdom.

In order to prevent the Queen Ant Inheritance faction from expanding to the northwest along the Great River, it is necessary for the protagonist to control several secondary nests with crisscrossed ant paths and important transportation locations. Controlling these secondary nests will cut off the path of expansion of the Queen Ant's Legacy faction.

But to reach these nests, without exception, it is necessary to travel through the territory of the Western Alliance. The plan to eliminate the Western Union was put on the agenda.

- I'm the dividing line -

While the army is resting, the protagonist and his male ant commanders are researching and evaluating the actual combat effectiveness of the new weapon.

After the beginning of spring, in three large-scale operations (attacking "Qingqiu City", attacking the ancient king, and "Qingqiu Castle" peripheral operation), new weapons such as beetles and gravel jawknives are put into actual combat on a large scale, and the protagonist needs to collect detailed data to evaluate the actual combat effectiveness of these weapons and the direction of improvement.

The assessment data is easy to collect, and the squad commander collects the battle information packets of the soldiers under his command, filters out the nonsensical parts, and integrates them into a packet to give to the legion commander. The Legion Commander then consolidated the information packets of each squad and shared them at today's assessment meeting.

The first stage was a combat assessment of the beetle.

The only Beetle Legion is the First Legion of Rolling. Roll himself was very satisfied with the Beetle's combat effectiveness, although in the first battle, there were some problems with the tactical connection between the Beetle and the accompanying infantry, which led to the split. However, after refining their tactics, the Beetle's assault power in open areas became apparent, making it an obvious choice for tearing through enemy forces with tight defensive lines.

Later, the evaluation of the jaw knife was mixed.

Jaw knives are gravel knives, and these stone knives are glued to the large jaws of soldier ant warriors with a mixture of ant glue and botanicals.

The jaw knife is far sharper than the ant's chitin jaws, and the jaw knife equipped with the jaw knife can easily cut or pierce the body of the enemy, greatly increasing the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers.

But the gravel knife itself is very brittle, with a thin layer of blades, which can easily shatter when the warrior does not exert his force properly. The shattered jawknife will not only be unusable in combat, but will also affect the rest of the battle.

The worst thing was that the god made it impossible for the king warrior to remove the broken jaw knife on his own, and the fragments of the jaw knife were glued to the jaw and continued to stick firmly to the jaw. It was only after the war that the glue could be removed after wetting it with water droplets.

This greatly affects the usefulness of the jaw knife.
