At the end of April, inside and outside [Xinyangcheng], there was a hot production scene everywhere at this time.

It's really hot, you see the small ant-like chimney of the blast furnace outcropping out of the ground, bubbling and spewing black smoke, and the ground near here is glowing with a little heat, which is the heat of iron smelting. In this already hot late spring, the heat makes the left and west of [Xinyangcheng] even hotter and hotter.

Although it has only been more than half a month since the battle, and the first batch of new ant eggs laid by the Divine Envoy King Legion during the battle has not even reached adulthood, the Divine Envoy King Legion has quickly recovered and invested in post-war reconstruction and large-scale production.

After the resumption of trade routes with the Leafcutter Ant Country, a large amount of hematite ore from trade was hoarded in warehouses next to underground blast furnaces, and more and more iron weapons, armor, and tools were distributed to the ants.

The honeydew and crow honey industries, which were vital to the economy of the Legion of the Gods, have almost completely recovered, with dozens of herds scattered across the expanded territory of the Legion of the Gods, and these herds are still growing in size every day.

Some of the newly established secondary nests have only a few hundred ants, and almost all of these ants are herders, and they can produce more honeydew by moving the new herd to the new pasture for grazing.

Only the herd of purple gray butterfly larvae that produce crow honey is strictly controlled to graze around [Xinyang City], and the trade and diplomatic significance of crow honey to the Divine Envoy King's legion is greater than that of honeydew, and it must not be leaked out, and only the area around [Xinyang City] makes the protagonist feel more at ease.

Of course, whether it is honeydew or crow honey, it is already difficult for ordinary professional ants of the Divine Envoy King Legion to enjoy, and only meritorious service can get a drop of reward. The Legion of the Divine Envoy has traded all the honeydew and all the crow honey except for the queen, male, priest, and arch ants.

Compared with other industries, animal husbandry suffered the least damage in the war, and the mealworm and maggot farms that were already concentrated underground in [Xinyangcheng] were not damaged, and the daily feed collected did not starve the insects. It can be said that the meat provided by the farm was the most stable source of food for the defenders during the siege, but it was not enough to remove all the ants.

Now, the Legion of the Divine King has reduced its quota for meat, so that more mealworms and maggots can survive, and it can provide bugs for new farms in other secondary nests, as well as excellent mounts for the Flying Knights as they prepare to expand their army.

The plantation industry was the most severely damaged in the battle, and many of the farmland outside [Xinyang City] was destroyed by the enemy.

This was not because the enemy knew the usefulness of the farmland, some of which was destroyed when the enemy built a camp, some of the young grass was harvested as food when the enemy's slave auxiliaries went out in search of food, and some of it was destroyed because it interfered with the enemy's offensive route.

The farmland outside the city was almost completely destroyed, and after the war, the Divine Envoy King's army urgently replanted another batch, but due to the limited grass seeds left, this year's farmland area was smaller, and only covered the land from outside the city to the depression.

For a while, because the herds and farm swarms had reduced their consumption quotas due to the need to expand their scale, the farmland did not produce anything, and almost the entire legion relied on hunter-gatherers for its food sources.

But the prey on the ground is also decreasing, which is related to the frenzied hunting and gathering of grain by the Divine Envoy King Legion before the war, and the slave auxiliaries of the Red Fire Ant Army who went out to collect food during the war, many prey escaped from this area, and the food that could be collected was almost collected.

Fortunately, the flood waters of the Qinghe River are gradually receding, leaving a large number of small fish, shrimp, shellfish and snails, algae, insects and other food on the banks and tidal flats of the river.

Relying on the water to draft, the army of the god envoy king is expanding the ant population in large quantities, and the consumption is extremely large, and it is precisely by relying on the food by the river that the food of each sub-nest in the entire territory is very small, but it is barely maintained at a safe level.

Due to the large number of ant mouths that need to break out of the pupa next month to reach adulthood, the standing forces of the seven legions of the Divine Envoy King Legion have suffered huge losses in the battle, and they have not been able to be replenished by soldiers and commanders, and they will have to be replenished next month.

But these legions have experienced fierce battles and hard battles, and their growth is also very rapid, and an elite needs to grow in continuous vicious battles and victories, and these legions already have the appearance of elites.

With the large production of iron armor, the protagonist begins to distribute armor to the entire army. Previously, only important commanders and Divine Ant had iron armor. In the recent battle, the protagonist also found that the armor-clad divine soldiers and ants were like fierce generals, and they were largely immune to the enemy's counterattack.

However, the current iron armor covers a limited area, and the divine ant killed in battle is basically injured by attacks on parts that are not covered with armor, such as compound eyes attacked by acid, joints pierced by red fire ant stings, and so on.

The current ironwork of the Divine King's Legion mainly relies on casting, and it is difficult to produce parts such as hinges, live buckles, and joints with fine craftsmanship, and it is impossible to produce full-coverage armor like European knight plate armor. It is only possible to continue to use the current armor of the bundled armor that protects the key areas, but this is also much stronger than the unarmored state.

The Flying Knights are also expanding, and in the event of a war, a mere twelve Flying Knights are not enough to cover all the adjacent areas. If the last time there was information in advance, it was known that the Leafcutter Ant Army was attacking the Red Fire Ant Country, and the protagonist might have a strategy to make the Red Fire Ant Army in front of him suffer another major loss when retreating.

At that time, the Divine Envoy King's army saw the enemy retreating, but he had lost the ability to pursue, which made the protagonist feel that he had nowhere to vent his grievances, and could only watch the enemy swagger and move to the battlefield.

Even if the leaf-cutting ant army won a big victory later, it didn't make the protagonist feel too angry, after all, it was his own troops who won the battle to relieve his anger.

The protagonist plans to wait for the new generation of god workers to become adults, and expand the Flying Knights to a small team, which are all fly Flying Knights. The bee eggs brought by the Divine Envoy King Legion failed to breed in the new home, and the protagonist can only find another chance to re-subdue the bee colony in order to have a new bee mount.

The protagonist also plans to expand the number of Divine Soldier Ants to ten squads, and these armored Divine Ant Ants are so powerful that the protagonist even thinks that they can go head-to-head with the Destroyer.

Seven of the ten squads of Divine Soldier Ants are assigned to each legion as an elite force directly under the legion leader. The other three Praetorian Guards who will be the protagonists, as well as the mobile forces directly under them.

If it weren't for the fact that it consumes too many resources to cultivate and feed the Divine Ant Ants, the protagonist really wants all legions to be formed by the Divine Ant Warriors.

Just when the Divine Envoy King's Legion was building and expanding on a large scale in the territory, the war between the Red Fire Ant Kingdom and the Leafcutter Ant Country had a new change.
