- I'm the dividing line -

The male ants have no objection to the protagonist asking for the queen and male eggs, and it is obviously much less burdensome for their group to give away six eggs than five hundred.

As for what the Divine Envoy King Legion wants to do to breed belly ants and breed ants, the belly lifters are not worried, there is more than one family of belly raising ants in this world, even if there is an extra group of belly lifting ants from now on, what does it matter?

But the protagonist still wants gold, and the trees are not expensive, which makes it very difficult for the bellied ants.

You can't eat or drink this gold, but it's not easy to collect.

The golden sand is mixed with the sand and gravel of the river beach, and it must be carefully picked up one by one, which is individual labor and meticulous work. Ants generally do not have good eyesight, and belly ants are also a species with poor eyesight, and they have to be very close to see the glittering gold. So collecting sand gold is a very laborious and time-consuming thing.

The amount of gold required by the red fire ants every year is already very difficult to make up enough amount, and now the protagonist has a lion opening his mouth to ask for half of the amount of gold from the red fire ants, and the male ant in front of him refuses at once, which is very simple - the concubine really can't do it!

Although the multi-faction ant hand may barely be able to scrape together a sufficient amount of gold, after this battle, the bellied ants lost nearly 2,000 ant mouths at once, and their strength was greatly damaged. If you have to disperse the ant population to collect gold, then there will be a shortage of ants to find food and raise psyllids, and the whole population will go hungry, and even the survival of the population will be threatened.

What's more, it is only after the annual flood season that there is more gold on the golden beach, and the rest of the time there is very little gold. The further back you go, the less efficient it is to collect gold, and the more you can't collect it in winter. After all, there are only about 60 days of the year that are the best time to collect sand gold.

If you promise to give so much gold to the Divine Envoy King Legion every year, you will dig a bottomless pit, and sooner or later you will drag the belly raising ant clan into the abyss.

As one of the most respected males in the colony, he simply refused to do so - even if he and his subordinates were all killed here, the nest would be able to make up for it with a new batch of eggs. But if the conditions were agreed, it would be difficult for the group to turn over for the rest of their lives—he had already thought about it very clearly.

The protagonist wants gold on a whim, and at the moment gold is really useless to himself, so there is no need to force it too much, in case the bellied ants are forced to call the powerful red fire ants behind them to help in the battle, it will not be good.

It's better to give the other party a step down, this belly-raising ant male ant seems to have a lot of say in the group, and it is good to have a good relationship.

Since he has a heart to get acquainted, the protagonist gives him a name "Old Heart" in his heart, "old" refers to his seniority and status in the belly lift ant group, and "heart" is the typical feature of the belly lift ant - heart-shaped abdomen.

The protagonist uses the deception of human beings to show that our clan respects the bravery and wisdom of the "old heart" very much, and for this reason he agreed to reduce the amount of the golden annual tribute.

Although the bellied ants have also been in contact with more civilized races, they have never felt the praise and goodwill of the other party in the negotiation - the diplomatic etiquette here is that the strong are arrogant, and the weak are compromised.

This time, I was obviously a weakling, but I wasn't bullied too hard, why was there still some emotion?

The muddy "Old Heart" finally reached an agreement with the protagonists, representing the Legion of the Warriors.

Translated into human language, this agreement reads as follows: 52 Literature

First, the Divine Legion and the Legion of the Raised Ants will live together peacefully from now on, no longer attacking each other, nor going too close to each other's nests.

Second, the previous dispute between the two parties was a pure misunderstanding, and now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, both sides promise not to mention the matter again.

Article 3: The relationship between the two parties is bilateral, and no third party shall be allowed to disclose information about the Divine Envoy King's legion, nor shall a third party be introduced to intervene in bilateral relations.

Fourth, the Divine Legion immediately released the besieged Belly Lifter Ant Clan and allowed the Bell-Raising Ant Clan to collect the corpses.

Fifth, in order to make up for the losses caused by the previous misunderstanding to the Divine Envoy King Legion, the Bellied Ant Clan compensated the Divine Envoy King Legion for 3 queen ant eggs and 3 male ant eggs.

Sixth, in order to maintain friendly relations between the two sides, the Legion of the Bellied Ants provides six days of gold to the Legion of the Divine Envoy King every year.

After the agreement is reached, the "old heart" has a relatively intimate attitude towards the protagonist, and the protagonist waves his hand and releases the belly ants to leave with the corpses of their companions.

- I'm the dividing line -

After the agreement is reached, the protagonist is also worried for two days, even if a large army of red fire ants will come to the city one day.

Fortunately, three days have passed, nothing has happened, and it seems that the bellied ants are still keeping their promises.

After reaching a collegiate agreement with the Legion Ant Clan, the external environment of [Xinyang City] is much better, except for the Bellied Ant Clan, the distance between the other ant forces is relatively far, as long as the Divine Envoy King Legion does not go too far to the north or northwest, the risk of exposure is not great.

After obtaining a relatively safe external environment, [Xinyangcheng] was able to concentrate on development.

Originally, the protagonist just used [Xinyang City] as a temporary base, and once the flood season passed, he was ready to move back to the swamp area.

But now from the antennae of the belly ant, after learning that the civilization of this land is more developed, the protagonist has some interest.

Although the bellied ants don't have much information about the red fire ants, apart from direct contact, their source of information is the slave bellied ants sent out.

Although the slave bellied ants consider themselves to be members of the Red Fire Ant Country, they are also discriminated against within the Red Fire Ant Country. Based on their physical appearance and blood proximity, although these slave belly ants do not have a very good attitude towards their own kind, they can also reveal some inside information.

According to the relay of "Lao Xin", the main nest of the Red Fire Ant Country has hundreds of high mounds, and the land occupied continuously takes half a day to cross, and there are millions of ant mouths in it, and countless insects are domesticated by ant slaves of various races.

And there are many things in the red fire ants that the belly ants think are magical, they can't describe them clearly, but just the concepts of high mounds, ant slaves, domestication, etc., the protagonist knows that the red fire ants are much more developed than the ant race in their homeland.

It is completely possible to use [Xinyangcheng] as a window to the developed ant civilization, hide behind the belly-raising ants, and slowly absorb the nutrients of the advanced civilization.

Although the protagonist is intelligent and has experience in human civilization, many technological points cannot be perfectly copied into the ant civilization. Or is it the civilization developed by the local ant civilization itself that is more suitable for transplantation!
