It is not uncommon to intercept messengers between the secondary nests, and each secondary nest also needs to send messengers to each other frequently before the main nest "Qingqiu City" is occupied by the protagonist, in order to communicate information as a supplement to the intelligence obtained from the main nest.

After the "fall" of the main nest and the "subversion" of the old king's meeting, the messengers exchanged more frequently between the secondary nests that had lost the source of information about the main nest, and all the ruling males were anxiously waiting for the information to be transmitted back every day.

However, in the absence of a unified leadership core, these side nests are at best in communication, and rarely connect with each other, which is difficult to pose any substantial threat to the protagonist.

Lambury noticed that something was wrong from the fact that the number of messengers intercepted had recently increased abnormally, several times the number of normal days.

In the past, interrogating couriers did not require the Legion Commander to do it himself, and his own squad commander would do it. However, since the results of the interrogation are mostly insignificant, the male ant in charge of the interrogation is often perfunctory unless specifically instructed.

After returning to the main nest "Qingqiu City" in the evening, Rambery reports his new discovery to the protagonist.

The protagonist is keenly aware of the problem, so he assigns Ramberley to interrogate him personally.

After interrogation, the protagonist learned that several secondary nests west of the main nest "Qingqiu City", with a scale of about ten, have reached a preliminary joint intention, wanting to jointly resist the invasion of the Divine Envoy King's army, and prepare to cooperate with the direct troops of the old-fashioned king to launch a counteroffensive against "Qingqiu City".

This is undoubtedly adding to the already complex situation, and it is unexpected by the protagonist.

Historically, these sub-nests have been closed in the absence of a unified leader with sufficient prestige, and it is difficult to take proactive measures. This makes the protagonist a little wary of them.

Even after the messenger of the old king went to each of the secondary nests to actively connect with each other, each secondary nest was based on the position of the ruling male, and some sent small troops to invade the protagonist's territory, except for one time to capture a secondary nest, but did not achieve much. There are also many secondary nests that are still closed and don't ask about what's going on outside the window.

But now, there are double-digit second-nest size unions, and hostile ones.

This is different from the alliance of the seventeen sub-nests established by the old king, and it is not uncommon for the old kings to be able to be matched together.

But this time the intelligence reality, this initial "alliance" to the west of the main nest does not have a male ant with enough prestige to convince the public, and there is not even a big king among these male ants.

This alliance is entirely centered on a sub-nest with the largest number of male ants, and is temporarily led by the king meeting of the males of this central sub-nest. This is completely different from the perception of the protagonist in the past.

But in fact, this is in line with the development trend of the big-headed ant colony in the context of the "fall" of the main nest.

Compared with the main nest, the scale of the secondary nests in various places is small, but "although the sparrows are small, they have all the organs", and the structure of these secondary nests is still very complete.

Whether it is male ants, queens, worker ants and soldier ants, there are four major classes. Most of the secondary nests have only one male ant and queen, and a few larger, abundant and important secondary nests will have multiple male ants and queens.

Although there is no king in each of the sub-nests, the position of king is not a natural occurrence among ants, but an acquired title.

According to the general evolutionary law of the big-headed ant colony, all secondary nests can be counted as a kind of backup of the main nest.

When it is confirmed that the main nest has "fallen", the largest secondary nest will gradually take the place of the original main nest and play a role. All the males of this sub-nest will form a new male ant council, promote themselves to the position of king, and then slowly get in touch with the other sub-nests to organize the remnants of the big-headed ant kingdom that have been scattered due to the "fall" of the main nest.

Sometimes there is a meeting of new males in different secondary nests that are far away, and at this time, the two sides will decide who will obey whom according to the size and strength of each other.

Sometimes the distance between the secondary nests of these new male ants is relatively long, and the main nest has been "falling" for a long time, and it is difficult to maintain a close group atmosphere between the two secondary nests, so they may also entangle a group of secondary nests and break out into a civil war.

This is the response of the big-headed ant family, including many other ant races, after the loss of the main nest, and this response is not any artificial design, but a genetically based instinct, primitive but effective.

Therefore, it is very difficult to completely exterminate a race, and all its secondary nests must be uprooted one by one, and all ants must be killed. It is no wonder that after the ancestors of the big-headed ant kingdom came out of the southern mountains, it took hundreds of years to wipe out all the paving ant barbarians on the south bank of the river.

Now, the appearance of the "Western Alliance" bears the traces of this secondary nest being promoted to the new main nest, but it is different.

Although the main nest has "fallen", after all, the Divine Envoy King who occupies the main nest is nominally the same clan as the Big-headed Ant, and even though most of the ruling males of the secondary nest are hostile to this unconventional Divine Envoy King, the Divine Envoy King still formed a "Great King Council".

And the old-fashioned king, who was far away in the northeast, formed another council of kings, and the legitimacy and legitimacy of this council of kings were recognized by the deputy nest who received the news.

In the case of the "Great King's Conference", the eligible secondary nests in various places did not spontaneously and completely begin to change to the promotion of the main nest.

Although the newly emerged "Male Ant Conference" of the "Western Alliance" has the shadow of the "Great King Conference", the male ants in it did not establish themselves as the Great King, but obeyed the "Great King Conference" of the distant old-fashioned Great King faction, but it was regarded as a remnant of the interruption of the Great King Council after it was halfway formed.

However, even if it is an incomplete "Great King's Meeting", after it obeys the orders of the old-fashioned Great King, and shows strong organizational skills, and contacts the double-digit secondary nest, the threat of this "Western Alliance" to the main nest "Qingqiu City" has greatly increased.

Although the size of the ant mouth of the "Western Alliance" is not as large as the territory controlled by the old-fashioned king, there are tens of thousands of people, and they can piece together tens of thousands of warriors.

And they are close to the main nest "Qingqiu City", which can be said to be the morning and evening. Even if the protagonist has already occupied a circle of sub-nests on the periphery of "Qingqiu City" and established a buffer zone, he will never dare to take it lightly.

At present, there are only two legions in the main nest, and the remaining troops are still dragged in the northeast region, which makes the protagonist feel extremely empty of troops.
