Putting away his memories, the senior brother felt that the eyes of the fallen god envoy king in the air had flown away, so he led the guards out of the shadows and continued to move forward.

The sky was clear, the sun shone brightly in one of his eyes, the clouds were few hiding in the sky, and the sunlight penetrated the grass and trees like a forest and sprinkled on the ground.

Big brother, their goal is a secondary nest in front of them.

Thanks to the expansion of the territory this year, the remnants of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom have finally established a second nest in the new land.

This lair is close to the river, and there are many white pebbles on the riverbank, and it is for these pebbles that the elder brother left the main lair.

This white pebble, with its semiconductor properties, is not only the floor material for the conference room, but also the material for the construction of the sacred passage.

The elder brother felt that God had not abandoned them, and he was eager to hear God's will, and the divine passage was indispensable.

Since the elder brother became the eldest king, he had never heard the divine decree, and from the message left by the previous eldest king, he felt that he could not comprehend the excitement of receiving the divine decree at all.

The senior brother walked on the road, and he didn't know that the "eyes" in the air had not left. It wasn't the eyes of the fallen Messenger King who acted as the Flying Knight, the Fallen Messenger King himself was here.

The protagonist and "Little Black" land on the trees next to them, and the dense foliage covers them, just as the grass covers the elder brother.

The protagonist saw the figure of the old man in the message pack sent back by the flying knight today, and he didn't know why he suddenly had an impulse, so he flew over alone.

Although separated by a river, the territory of the remnants of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom is actually very close to [Xinyang City], and the protagonist flew here, and when he saw the senior brother, he immediately hid as soon as he heard the movement in the air, so he had to hide himself.

Seeing the elder brother leave in a north-easterly direction, he flew to the vicinity of the other party's nest and continued to hide, this time he saw the public security king, who was hunting a difficult caterpillar with some ants.

At this time, he did not know that the King of Public Security had succeeded the "depraved and wicked" him as the new Divine Envoy King.

Seeing the familiar old ants, the protagonist was already satisfied, and while the public security king was not paying attention, he quietly flew away.

The "buzzing sound" sounded, and the public security king raised his head vigilantly, and saw that a black dot in the air was getting smaller and smaller, and it had flown out of his clear vision.

Maybe it was the minions of the king of the gods who passed by, and the king of public security thought to himself, so he didn't hide.

The Divine Envoy King Legion has recently stepped up its reconnaissance of the south bank of the Qing River, not to target the remnants of the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom.

After reaching peace with the Leafcutter Ant Kingdom and the Red Fire Ant Country, the Divine Envoy King Legion did not have to worry about the imminent military threat for the time being.

But in other words, the development space of the Divine Envoy King's legion was also limited by these two forces.

After the Leaf Cutting Ant Kingdom ceded [Red Iron City], even if they and the Divine Envoy King Legion became allies of the Ancient God Inheritance, they would not tolerate the Divine Envoy King's Legion continuing to expand in the forest area.

And the Red Fire Ant Nation itself has a lot of dissatisfaction with the Divine Envoy King Legion, and will not sit on the Divine Envoy King's Legion to encroach on their own and vassals' territories.

If you don't know that there is a powerful suzerainty behind the Red Fire Ant Country, maybe the protagonist will also consider joining forces with the Leaf Cutting Ant Country to carve up the land of the Red Fire Ant Country.

But now, I'm afraid that if I fight the small one and provoke the big one, a powerful ant empire that even the Red Fire Ant Kingdom is forced to bow down to, the protagonist thinks it's better not to provoke it for the time being. Even with the help of the Leafcutter Ant Country, it will not work.

Now the Divine Envoy King Legion is still practicing its internal skills, once it can popularize firearms and bring the combat power of the whole army to a higher level, the protagonist will have the confidence to challenge that huge empire.

However, even if they are equipped with enough firearms, the protagonist and even the Divine Envoy King's legion currently have a small territory and few ant mouths, which is still difficult to support the large-scale standing army needed to fight for hegemony.

Territories and antmouths limit the size of armies, which in turn limit the expansion of territories and antmouths.

The protagonist looks elsewhere, trying to find a new direction of expansion before he doesn't tear his face with either the Leaf Cutting Ant Kingdom or the Red Fire Ant Kingdom.

It's a pity that the two openings currently left for the Divine Envoy King's legion are not easy to go.

To the east of [Golden Beach City], there is a land without any ant forces, but the reason why there are no ant forces here is precisely because this is a continuous rocky beach along the north bank of the Qing River, with poor resources and sparse vegetation.

At present, the Divine Envoy King Legion occasionally sends an ant team here to carry some salt and alkali, and the salt and alkali here is higher than the quality near [Xinyang City], and the purification can be used as bitter salt.

Other than that, this land is of no use to the Legion of the Divine King.

Of course, the Divine Envoy King's legion can build a dozen secondary nests here, and no ant will stop them. But these secondary nests simply do not have the resources to feed even a thousand ants, and do not have the basic conditions for existence.

The Flying Knights had to fly for most of the day to cross the rocky flats and see the fertile land further east occupied by other ant races.

It is impossible for the Divine Envoy King's army to form an expeditionary force to cross the land distance of more than ten days to expand the territory to distant lands, and even if the territory is successful, the new territory is also an enclave that is difficult to get local support, with limited role, and will face new enemies.

Expansion to the east is not feasible, and the protagonist sets his sights on the south bank of the Qing River.

The land on the south bank is fertile, and there is no very strong ant force, it is simply a land given by God to the army of the Divine Envoy King.

The protagonist estimates that even if an integrated Divine Envoy King Legion arrives on the south bank, no ant clan has the strength to resist them within a 5-day journey nearby.

As long as they can cross the river, the Divine Envoy King's legion will not encounter too much military resistance. The south shore will be the safest hinterland for the Divine Messenger Legion, and will not be threatened by hostile forces on the north bank.

Under the leadership of the protagonist, the Divine Envoy King's army has determined the immediate national policy of expanding to the south bank of the Great River.

However, the wide Qinghe River could not be avoided, and this moat was the only obstacle that could stop the expansion of the Divine Envoy King's army.

In the past, the protagonist would rather compete with the two major forces of the Leaf Cutting Ant Country and the Red Fire Ant Country, rather than develop on the south bank of the Qing River, because of this big river.

Now, it's back in his sight, and the difficulties need to be faced. Although the Qing River is too wide to erect rope bridges, it may be possible to erection, or use walnut boats.

What needs to be worried is that the pontoon bridge is estimated to not be able to withstand the flood season in the flood season, and if the walnut boat has no other power, it is difficult to sail freely in the river with a slow flow rate and only rely on wind and water flow.

The protagonist flies along the river, trying to find a suitable way to cross the river moat.
