Unbeknownst to the protagonist, the direct purpose of the Hunters is to use the Bighead Ants as food during a famine. However, he had correctly deduced the cause of the enemy's movement - famine.

Rambovan led the Fourth Army to disperse the enemy forces, which is good news, even if the protagonist knows that as long as the famine does not pass, the enemy may be desperate again.

However, at least for the short term, the southern region can maintain a stable situation. The protagonist can then concentrate all his energy on the war against the Paving Ant Barbarians in the north.

The war with the Paving Ant Barbarians is still a short time away. In terms of the main nest, military rations have been frantically scavenged from various secondary nests, and many secondary nests have only left barely subsistence food, which shows the attitude of the main nest towards this war.

Only the territory of the protagonist's subordinates refused to hand over a grain of grain for various reasons, and even the messenger sent by the main nest failed to enter "Dongyang City" for a single step.

The reason for refusal was, of course, the lie that "the nest is not enough food", but the ants never lie, so the messenger believed it and went back to the main nest to report.

Fortunately, there are really a few side nests that have been seriously damaged, and they can't take out a grain of food, and it is not abrupt that "Dongyang City" is caught in it.

As one of the most important departure bases, the main nest transported a large amount of grain to support the Northern Expedition against the north bank of the river. This really makes the protagonist make a windfall - as long as it comes, the protagonist will treat it as his own property.

For this reason, the protagonist even transported half of the military rations back to "Dongyang City" and stocked them up. As for what to do when this batch of food is really needed in the future, let's talk about it. Now that the year is not good, only when you have food in your hand can you not panic.

The preparations for the entire Big-Headed Ant Kingdom are in full swing, but the troop movement has not begun.

Those who have the right to carry out nationwide troop movements can only be the King's Council of the Main Nest. And according to the custom, only after this year's wedding ceremony is over will the King's Council approve military action.

Now, the entire kingdom of big-headed ants is waiting for a spring rain - that is the signal for the wedding flight ceremony to begin.

- I'm the dividing line -

A messenger from the Lord's Lair arrives at Waterfront City and asks to see the Divine Messenger King.

The protagonist immediately summons the messenger, who relays a directive from the Council of the Kings of the Hive, asking the kings stationed in the Hive to return to the Hair and participate in the organization of the upcoming wedding ceremony and military meeting.

The protagonist doesn't reply to the messenger right away, and he sorts out the matter in his mind.

Asking the kings to return to the main nest is a normal request. Because there has never been such a thing as a king leading his troops outside the border in winter before, all the kings are concentrated in the main nest for the winter, and everything they encounter is easy to discuss.

But this year is different, more than a dozen kings are not in the main nest, and there are even high-ranking kings like the king of the gods, as well as a king with outstanding prestige like the king of public security.

In this way, if there is a need to discuss important matters, such as the wedding ceremony or the upcoming war against the Paving Ant Barbarians, the King's Meeting without a dozen important characters is not enough. Therefore, after a brief discussion, the kings who remained in the main nest sent messengers to demand that all the kings return to the main nest.

The protagonist thinks that if he returns to the main nest now, the wedding ceremony does not know when it will start, and if he catches up with the heavens, he may have to stay in the main nest for ten days and half a month.

The protagonist now feels that he really can't leave: the "Waterfront City" sub-base is under construction, the threat to the "Stump Fortress" has not been completely eliminated, and the "Bridgehead" area patrol has recently discovered that the paving ants have begun to operate in the surrounding area.

If the protagonist doesn't sit in "Waterfront City" in person, he really has no bottom in his heart. In the south, "Dongyang City" and "Stump Fortress" are a combination of Lan Bofei and Lan Bo Wan Yiwen Yiwu, while in the "Waterfront City" and "Bridgehead" areas in the north, the protagonist's Roll, Lan Botu and others are all generals, and they are not strong in administrative business, so they can't rest assured that they will hand over the business of the branch base to them.

At this time, the protagonist begins to miss the little secret, and her ability and IQ are enough to be qualified for the position of an administrative official. If it weren't for the fact that the male ant class would not have been able to accept a special worker ant as the ruling class in a short period of time, the protagonist would have been entrusted with a heavy task long ago.

Now,The little secretary can only be temporarily wronged to be a technocrat in "Dongyang City", the protagonist hasn't seen her since last fall, but let her take the scientific research team to study stone tool technology, and the protagonist also pointed out the research direction, and I don't know if there is progress now.

After much thought, the protagonist replies to the messenger that he will return to the main nest immediately after the first rain. With the speed of Xiaoqing II, the protagonist is sure to arrive at his destination before the wedding flight ceremony begins, and things will not be delayed.

The courier returns after receiving a reply, and does not complete the command for the protagonist to return immediately. However, as a small worker ant, he is not qualified to make irresponsible comments about the protagonist's decision. As for whether there will be any turmoil after the protagonist's answer is submitted to the King's Council, it is not within the Messenger's authority, and the protagonist will not care - as the wings grow, the protagonist is no longer afraid of the powerful Lord's Lair and the King's Council!

After the messenger leaves, the protagonist proceeds to deal with government affairs.

Although he recently accepted a batch of food from the main nest, the protagonist did not slack off. In addition to the necessary left-behind personnel, other ants have to go out to forage for food every day.

The adverse effects of the cold are everywhere, and the prey that was seen everywhere in previous years has decreased much in density this year. Hunting parties had to expand their range of activities and go to the edge of the territory in search of prey.

But in this way, the probability of these hunting teams encountering some hungry and green-eyed fierce insects has also greatly increased, and there have been several attacks in the past few days, including scorpions, centipedes and spiders, and the hunting team has also lost a lot of manpower.

As a last resort, the protagonist can only combine several small hunting teams into a large hunting team, and dozens or hundreds of ants (including soldier ants and worker ants) act together, so that as long as the fierce insects are not carried away by hunger, they will not dare to attack an ant team of this size.

On the north bank of the Great River, the patrol of the "bridgehead" has recently discovered that more and more paver ants have begun to move around, and this news also makes the protagonist very sad.

Sooner or later, the Paving Ants will come to this area to operate, especially after the lack of food, the Divine Envoy King's legion has expanded the hunting range, and there is no reason why the Paving Ant Barbarians should not do this.

However, in this way, the "bridgehead" will inevitably be discovered, and then it may be besieged. At this time, the reinforcements from the main nest had not yet arrived, and the Divine Envoy King army could only fight alone.
