The great army marched towards the main nest.

From "Sitong City" to the main nest "Qingqiu City", you need to pass through four secondary nests to take the ant road.

These four nests are about the same size as the rest of the nests in the kingdom, and each nest is dominated by one or a few males, with populations ranging from thousands to 10,000.

Neither the number of garrisons nor the strength of their defenses were enough to stop the advance of the Divine Envoy King Legion.

In addition, last year's Northern Expedition has exhausted the elites in the nests in various places, and the nests have not had time to stock up on enough food to restore the ant population in the spring of this year, and the ant population is insufficient, so the protagonists of these four sub-nests did not pay attention to it at all.

In fact, the four sub-nests were conquered more easily than the protagonist expected.

On the afternoon of the first day, the Legion of the Divine Envoy conquered two secondary nests and spent the night at the second one for the night. By noon the next day, the Divine Envoy King's legion had captured the fourth secondary nest, and rested here for half a day to prepare for a general attack on the main nest the next day.

The battle against these four sub-nests was very short, and it was not fierce, and the one that resisted the most resolute was only for the protagonist to dispatch ten squads of 500 fighters, which were crushed like chickens and dogs.

When attacking these nests, most armies are watching from the sidelines - street fighting underground is not about investing as many troops as possible, but too many troops will be bloated and difficult to turn.

Although the ruling males were aware of the conflict between the Council of the Lord Nest and the Divine Envoy King, they did not expect this conflict to turn into a civil war in the kingdom that had always been united.

The legions sent by the main nest to the "Sitong City" were all wiped out, and there was no rout to escape from the police, and the male ants of these secondary nests did not get the news from the foraging worker ants until the soldiers of the Divine Envoy King Legion pressed the border.

Some male ants who noticed that something was wrong organized the ants around them to resist, but most of these troops were composed of temporary worker ants and soldiers, and they were not as good as their elite opponents in terms of combat power and organization, and they often collapsed at the touch of a button.

Two of the secondary nests did not even anticipate a "friendly" attack, and the Divine Angel King simply sent a team to capture and execute the male ants in them, and took control of the nests.

Now that he has torn his face with the king's meeting, the protagonist is even more cruel and cruel to the male ants in those other nests, he doesn't need to slowly take these male ants for his own use, and he is worried that these male ants will have different intentions even if they subdue, so he simply kills them.

In order to ensure the safety of the back road and maintain the communication line with "Sitong City" and "Dongyang City" and other places, the protagonist left a small number of garrisons in each of the four sub-nests.

Each lair was staffed by three squads of warriors, all drawn from Rambosser's Sixth Legion. These nests are small in size, and there are no male ants, and as long as there is no large-scale foreign attack, one hundred and fifty warriors are enough to suppress internal unrest.

- I'm the dividing line -

At night, the protagonist is escorted by Mulan and comes to the outside of the lair.

It is only three or four hours away from the main nest, Qingqiu City, with a low meadow and shrub forest in the middle.

During the daytime, when the view is good and there is no haze, the protagonist can see the hills of "Qingqiu Castle".

At night, the moonlight is bright, and at night without light pollution, the moonlight can illuminate the whole world. The night was bright, and light and darkness magically blended together.

The protagonist looks at the moon above his head, which has become full, and has a lot of thoughts.

Since ancient times, Chinese have used the lunar calendar to keep time, and the lunar calendar is formulated according to the cloudy and sunny waxing of the moon.

The lunar calendar takes the moon orbiting the earth once as a month, that is, the synodic month is used as the basis for determining the calendar month, and a year is twelve calendar months.

It is now the fullest moon, and it is early spring, a week or two after the germination of plants and insects. Based on this, the protagonist can deduce that 42 days ago is the Spring Festival and the first day of the New Year that Chinese are used to, and the night 43 days ago is the Chinese New Year's Eve of the reunion of thousands of families.

What were you doing 43 days ago? The protagonist doesn't remember anymore, anyway, he was trapped under the cold of winter in "Dongyang City" and spent all kinds of trivial things.

Without a calendar or a clock, the protagonist has almost lost the concept of time, and can only roughly determine the seasons according to climate change and the growth and decline of vegetation.

It is only today, with the help of the bright moon and the climate, that the main protagonist has determined the date of the lunar calendar.

As for the Gregorian calendar, the protagonist is overwhelmed with its laws, only to know that it is based on the cycle of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. But for the solar calendar, the protagonist is the most familiar.

The date was finally set, and the protagonist didn't want to live like that anymore. He asked Mulan to fetch a dried square blade of grass and a pen dipped in ink, and began to draw a chart of the solar calendar.

The reason why the solar calendar is drawn instead of the lunar calendar is because as a modern person, the protagonist is accustomed to the solar calendar of 12 months and 365 days in a year, and knows that there are days in each month, and it is easy to draw a calendar table.

And if you want him to draw the table of the lunar calendar, what big and small construction, what seventeen years and nine leaps, you have to give him a headache to death.

The protagonist's pen and paper are both recent inventions, and although ants can jot down a lot of things with their brains, in the winter, the protagonist still feels that what needs to be recorded cannot be just written down in the minds of a few ants, but needs to be "heterogeneously backed up".

Paper and pen, the most important cultural invention of mankind, enter the protagonist's sight.

Papermaking is relatively cumbersome, so the protagonist retreats to the next best thing, replacing it with cut blades of grass, and some plants have broad leaves that can be written after drying, but they are not as soft as paper and cannot be folded.

The pen is also easy to do, a small wooden stick, so that the worker ants can bite the tip with a large jaw to make it soft and spongy, and it can absorb the ink.

The ink is made of carbon collected in the combustion chamber and added with some grease to become ink.

With pen and paper, the protagonist can use the hooked toes at the tips of his two forelimbs to write with a decent pen.

Although the protagonist does not know the correspondence between the specific date of this year's Chinese New Year's Eve and the solar calendar, it can be roughly determined that Chinese New Year's Eve is generally not in late January or mid-early February, and the difference of a few days does not have much impact on the Gregorian calendar, after all, it is just a tool.

He simply took a whole and took January 31 as Chinese New Year's Eve and February 1 as the Spring Festival, so that today is March 15.

I saw that the protagonist walked with a dragon and snake, and quickly drew the table on the paper and copied two copies. One has the words 3 years on it, this is this year's calendar, indicating that it is the third year that I have come to this world, and the last two are written 4 years and 5 years, as a calendar for the next two years. The protagonist also intimately added a leap day on the 29th under February of the 4th year.

Tomorrow, March 16, 3 years, will be the day when I will become the ruler of "Qingqiu City" and the entire Big-headed Ant Kingdom. The protagonist secretly notes this date.
