Chapter 60: The Expeditionary Force
Thirty-two kings followed the protagonist all the way to receive the army, and the protagonist felt that he had never been so aggressive since he was reborn and crossed into an ant.
The guide worker ant leads the protagonist and his party to a large nest room near the underground nest, which is densely packed with soldier ants on standby, and so many soldier ants are gathering here and are about to become a group.
The guide worker ant asked the king of the protagonist and his party to pick ten soldier ants each, and they each ran to the soldier ants, and after some tentacle exchanges, these soldier ants remembered the smell of their commander, so that the integration was completed.
There are so many soldiers and ants in this nest that all the kings except the protagonist have enough subordinates. Because the protagonist has the guards brought by the main nest, he didn't choose soldier ants.
After selecting the soldier ants, the guide worker ants are ready to take the protagonist and his party to select the worker ants' subordinates. Before leaving, the protagonist passes a packet of messages to all the chosen soldiers to tell each other, and the orders are to prepare for the next day's expedition and sleep well at night. The protagonist feels that only by ensuring sleep can he have enough combat effectiveness, otherwise almost all ants are in a state of sleep deprivation, which will lead to such a short life of soldier ants and worker ants.
Along the way, the ants who were preparing for the expedition were running around in the nest, several times busier than usual.
I ran to the nest where three more worker ants gathered, and finally all the armies that should be replenished were replenished. The protagonist also orders his subordinates to sleep at night before leaving.
After completing the integration of the army, the protagonist counted that there are 54 ants (including 14 soldier ants and 40 worker ants) in the personal guard team directly under him, and the 32 subordinate kings each command 50 ants (including 10 soldier ants and 40 worker ants). Then his legion has a total of 1687 ants (the protagonist himself, 32 kings, 334 soldier ants, and 1320 worker ants). Thinking about his last life, he was a lone otaku, and he didn't even be a class cadre, and he suddenly became a legion commander in this life, and the protagonist himself was a little uncertain.
Especially when the protagonist communicates with Roll again, he learns that they have learned about war with Lao Wang during the time after they set off to the main nest, and they didn't learn this at all in the main nest, and they have no confidence.
"Damn, the dignified god envoy king, you don't teach me how to fight, are you going to let me die?" The protagonist complains. In fact, he has wronged these kings of the main nest, they think that the god appointed by the god should be the god of war by nature, and they still need to learn the war knowledge of these ordinary people?
But the protagonist has already made up his mind, anyway, he wants to hide behind and grind foreign workers, and it doesn't matter whether he will command the war or not. This kind of war to regain the lost territory is once a year, and the army of big-headed ants has never been defeated. Thinking of this, the protagonist is not worried.
After finishing the preparations before the expedition, the protagonist felt tired and ordered them to go back and sleep well (I don't know why he was so obsessed with sleeping), and the protagonist also went home.
The elder brother is already on the other side, and the protagonist goes over to say hello to him. The senior brother excitedly told the protagonist: "This time, the first batch of fifty kings led the legion to the battle, with a total of 150,000 troops. In the second batch, there will be fifty kings, and after the armies of each sub-nest arrive at the main nest and assemble, they will command this army to rush to support. "Although the scale of this counterattack is roughly the same every year, this year is also the first time that the senior brother has participated in the battle as an adult, so it is no wonder that he is excited. Even the successor of the oldest king can only lead fifty of his subordinates to battle as an ordinary king this time.
The protagonist had to persuade the elder brother to rest early, don't get too excited, and set off tomorrow. After saying goodbye to the elder brother, the protagonist returns to the four-bedroom opposite and settles down with his group of subordinates, and the protagonist is also sleepy.
At night, the protagonist doesn't sleep soundly, one side of the bedroom is a cobblestone wall, and the nest room opposite seems to have ants in it at night, and there are intermittent noisy sounds, which disturbs the protagonist in his sleep to sleep not so peacefully, which has never happened before. However, when the protagonist wakes up the next day, he no longer remembers the events of last night.
Early in the morning, before dawn, the protagonist was woken up by the conscientious Mulan. The army agreed to set out at sunrise, and it was almost now.
The protagonist tied, confused, tied the vehicle to his subordinates, and this time only brought his own silk bed and a small amount of food, and put it on a pair of double ant vehicles and three single ant vehicles.
With Mulan and other fourteen soldier ants, the protagonist went out first to find them, but all the way was with his subordinate kings and kings, blocking all the roads, and the protagonist tasted the taste of traffic jams for the first time in the ant world.
Fortunately, the protagonist who lived in the imperial capital in his previous life had experience in this area, on the one hand, he saw the needle, and on the other hand, he took care of his subordinates who were carrying vehicles, and it took a lot of effort to finally climb to their temporary nest room.
At this time, the protagonist no longer wants to squeeze the congested road to find soldier ants and worker ants, he and Roll and Rambo agree that they will be responsible for gathering and brushing down the army, and later meet in the open space to the east outside the main nest, which is where the protagonist and Roll meet in the main nest. Then the protagonist himself climbed out irresponsible with a few subordinates.
The place where the army assembles is in the open space south of the main nest hill, but the protagonist runs to the east, and he feels that it is not easy to find the embarrassing situation of not being able to find the target here.
By this time, the sky has turned white, and the protagonist climbs on the blades of a tall dog's tail grass and overlooks the assembly of the army south of the main nest.
I saw that the open space over there was densely packed with ants, and the color of the carapace of the big-headed ants was yellow, but so many ants gathered together gave the protagonist a black and oppressive visual effect. In addition to the assembled legions, there are countless black lines swimming in from the various exits of the main nest, these are the expeditionary forces that ran out of the main nest.
Roll they also quickly rushed to the agreed place with their subordinates, and the protagonist only counted out the forty worker ants under his subordinates, and a lot of them were brought over, as for the other king's subordinates, he really couldn't figure it out, so forget it. Seeing that his legion has been assembled, the protagonist leads them closer to the army to the south, and then stops at the edge of the army.
After waiting for a while, the protagonist feels that his eyes are gradually brightening, and the sun in the distance is finally rising from the southeast. At this time, the army of ants that had been assembled was in a commotion.
Without any orders or warnings, the regiment closest to the northeast took the lead and crawled in a column to the northeast. The legions on either side of this legion also moved, and the ants of the three legions formed a fan about two meters wide and advanced forward.
The subsequent legions that had already been assembled also followed in turn, even if there was still a steady stream of ants in the main nest at this time, and they had not yet completed the assembly.
The sun is up, and the expeditionary force has set off! War is on the verge of breaking out!!
