Chapter 205: The Disappeared Oldest King (2)

The eldest king is missing, and with the information package shared by the senior brother being read by all the kings attending the meeting, this fact is now undoubtedly in front of everyone.

As soon as they learned of the disappearance of the eldest king, the police and the elder brother agreed that the members of the main nest must be kept secret, and the only people who could make this information public were the kings.

However, it was not realistic to notify them one by one, so the police proposed to convene a meeting of all the kings to discuss the matter.

Since the king was in Dongyang City, three other kings were ordered to lead their troops to the western region to deal with some border disputes. So, after the messenger was dispatched, it was not until today that all the personnel had arrived, and the news was made public to everyone.

Based on various evidence, it can be basically concluded that the oldest king took the initiative to "escape" from the main nest.

The protagonist can't help but remember that more than half a year ago, before going out to the parasitic ants in the southern hilly area, when he came to the main nest to meet the eldest king, he learned the news of the sudden retreat of the oldest king.

At that time, he was still very puzzled, and deliberately ran to inquire about the senior brother and the public security, but the senior brother was not in the main nest, and the public security was also confused. The police told the protagonist that three days ago, the eldest Wang suddenly disappeared from anyone, and did not participate in the king's meeting, but only said that he was communicating with the gods. So all the kings and kings went to him no more.

At that time, the protagonist also learns that the oldest Wang has never experienced such a retreat in the past. However, at that time, it was generally believed that the most old Wang, as the person in charge of communicating with God, could not exaggerate what strange actions he made.

Further back, when the protagonist first comes to the main nest, he used to live in the opposite door of the elder brother before and after participating in the military operation to recover the secondary nest that had been overrun by the Paving Ant Barbarian army.

In retrospect, the main character lived at the top of the eldest king's bedchamber, and when he slept in his room every night, he often heard strange noises behind the walls, like the sound of a broom sweeping across the floor.

The first retreat event is undoubtedly closely related to the escape of the oldest king, and the protagonist has no clue whether the second abnormal noise is related to it.

The other kings also recounted what they thought was unusual, but there was no particularly meaningful evidence.

The escape of the eldest king has now become a fact, and the reason why he did it is still confused after the males present at the meeting have pieced together all the evidence they know.

Since the cause could not be ascertained, the King Meeting still needed to solve some troublesome things in the future.

The first is whether to continue to recognize the identity of the oldest king.

Many kings thought that since they had fled, they should be regarded as traitors and must be stripped of his title. But there are also many kings who think that the reason for the escape of the oldest king is a mystery, and there are even doubts about whether he fled on his own initiative.

In the end, the opinion of the Council of Kings was to freeze the title of the Most Elder King, but not to declare him a traitor, and once the Most Elder King was found, a Council of the Great Kings must be convened immediately to question and even try him.

Now that the first issue has been resolved, the original proposal of the king to let the senior brother who has completed the vocational education of the eldest king succeed the eldest king will naturally be shelved. However, the King's Conference is still a special event to elevate the status of the elder brother from the king to the king, and temporarily replace the work of the eldest king.

In addition, the Council of Kings has decided to announce the event to all ants in the main nest, as well as all secondary nests.

If it is the human world, there is such a scandal of the flight of people at the national level or even treason, the relevant news is generally tightly sealed, or at least downplayed. The ants do not have this concern, and the worker ants or soldier ants at the bottom will not panic because of this, and everyone will still live and work as usual, and the king meeting will think that there is no need for confidentiality.

And announcing this news to all the ants of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom is also convenient for discovering the whereabouts of the oldest king, as long as he is still hiding in the kingdom, it is difficult to hide the tentacles of the ants who are searching for food everywhere.

The meeting also passed a resolution that the senior brother would be in charge of setting up an investigation team to continue to investigate the reason for the escape of the eldest king and search for his whereabouts.

If there is no final and reasonable result for this strange incident, I believe that many kings will be unwilling - in the history of the big-headed ant kingdom, there has not been a single oldest king who has disappeared for no reason, which is simply an insult and smear to the warriors.

- I'm the dividing line -

After discussing the matter of the eldest king, due to the rare return of the king to the main nest of the gods, the king's meeting was relatively rare, so there was another important matter that happened to be discussed at this opportunity.

At the meeting, the public security king emphasized:

It's late autumn now, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and it's becoming less and less suitable for ants to go out. Seeing that winter is coming, when the river freezes, those paving ant barbarian armies who are not afraid of the severe cold and can operate during the winter day will go south to attack the secondary nest in the north of the kingdom, and the kingdom must start a defensive military movement now to block the attack of the paving ant barbarian army as much as possible in winter, at least not let them threaten the main nest.

The kings immediately discussed enthusiastically, for the big-headed ant kingdom, the paving ant barbarian is the old enemy that has been eager to destroy for thousands of years, and the defensive battle every winter and the recovery war after the spring wedding ceremony in the coming year are extremely tragic. Being able to lose one less secondary nest in winter is a major military victory for the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom.

According to the protagonist's understanding, the Paving Ant Barbarian Army has a great advantage in winter, and they have an ability that the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom Army does not have, that is, they can move freely on the cold ground during the sunny day in winter. If the big-headed ants dare to do this, it won't be long before they freeze in the cold wind and die.

The protagonist doesn't know the reason for the racial talent that the paver ant has, but since the big-headed ant lacks this buff, it can only be a passive defensive battle in a relatively warm nest.

For the defenders, several sub-nests along the river and deep areas need to be defended, so they can only be guarded by dividing their forces, which is naturally at a disadvantage. However, the attacker can mobilize the main force and eat away at the secondary nests and defenders of the big-headed ant kingdom one after another.

Therefore, every winter, no matter how serious the big-headed ant kingdom is preparing for war, it will inevitably lose its division and land. But as soon as spring arrived, the river melted, and the paving ant barbarian army on the lost land of the big-headed ant kingdom lost its native support. At this time, the strength and weakness of the situation are reversed, and the army of the big-headed ant kingdom can regain the lost territory and completely destroy the enemy army on the south bank of the river.

In the following summer and autumn, neither side can fight anyone, so they can only rest and recuperate and accumulate strength, until winter to continue the previous course. Because of the blockage of the river, neither side can threaten each other's main nest, so they can only carry out meaningless consumption year after year.

Will this year's war be like this?
