The first phase of the Ant Alliance's plan to colonize the south bank of the Qing River went well.

The 2nd Legion quickly cleared the leafcutter ant's secondary nest at the target location, effectively covering the construction of the stronghold.

By the evening of the same day, the exhausted flying convoy could finally rest, and they had transported a reorganized army and more than 4,000 worker ants across the river in one day, as well as a lot of supplies.

The first stronghold of the Ant Alliance on the south bank of the Qing River was named [Pioneer City], which was still just a simple and crowded small nest, and at night, the Divine Envoy King had to crowd with ordinary worker ants, eating, drinking, and lazing were very awkward, and could only spend the night in a small underground.

At this time, there was only a small peanut-sized entrance and exit on the ground, and on the dark soil next to the entrance, there was a circle of light-colored sand like a crater, which looked no different from the nest of primitive ants, simple and shabby.

But the ants that live in it are terrible.

The next day, on July 19, the 2nd Legion left 4 squads to guard the [Pioneer City], and the other warriors came out together, and under the guidance of the flying knights, it only took half a day to bulldoze the main nest of the leafcutter ant tribe not far away.

This leaf-cutting ant tribe is among the many ant tribes on the south bank of the Qing River, even if the number of ant populations and comprehensive national strength are not among the best, it is still in the forefront, and as a result, it was wiped out without resistance.

Most of the ant tribes on the south bank don't know that a mixed river dragon has crossed the river!

Thousands of leafcutter eggs, pupae and larvae were brought back to [Pioneer City] as trophies by the Divine Envoy King warriors, where they were dried on the ground for food, and some of the fungi captured could relieve some of the pressure on the flying carotons.

After the elimination of the leafcutter ant tribe, the Divine Envoy King's legion did not launch further military operations against other ant tribes for the time being, but only defended the existing land with all its might.

Every day, the flying transport team of the Ant Alliance continued to transport more ants and supplies to the south bank of the Qing River, and the ground and underground parts of the [Pioneer City] were growing rapidly with each passing day, like fresh and vigorous bamboo shoots, growing wantonly after the rain.

By the end of August, [Pioneer City] was quite large, and from a distance it did look like clusters of bamboo shoots gathered together.

Because the south bank of the river is lower than the north bank, and there is a danger of flooding near the river, [Pioneer City] is twenty meters away from the river at this season, on a high ground, and there is no sign of flooding.

There are no tall trees in the vicinity of [Pioneer City], and the land to the north, which is often flooded by the river, is rich in salinity, and only a few wild grasses and shrubs grow tenaciously, while the south side is more verdant.

Today's [Pioneer City] was built according to the standards of the capital, and due to the vast development space, the ground buildings here look grander and magnificent, both in height and scale.

In the center of the top of the [Pioneer City] plateau, a tall anthill with a height of 5 meters and an area of about 10 square meters rises from the ground.

In addition to the large entrances and exits at the bottom, there are some smaller openings on the four walls of the upper part that only allow two ants to stand side by side, and those are vents.

There is a walnut-sized opening on the top side of the anthill, which is a passage for the flying troops to enter and exit.

This tallest ant mound is the dwelling place of the big-headed ant clan in [Pioneer City], and is located in the center of the ant mound colony.

Next to the central anthill, there are seven smaller anthills that are less than 3 meters long, except for the smaller scale and no aerial entrances and exits, the others are no different from the anthills of the big-headed ant family.

Between the small ant mounds, as well as between the small ant mounds and the large ant mounds, there are many rope bridges that form an aerial overpass.

These are the ant mounds of the seven vassal ant tribes, including the paving ants, and the ant alliance has reserved a place for all the ant tribes under its command.

Of course, at present, most of the members of the subordinate ant clan are still staying in the main nest [Xinyang City] and have not moved, but the protagonist has already made up his mind to slowly move most of the ant mouths of [Xinyang City] to [Pioneer City].

This is because [Xinyangcheng] is located on a peninsula, surrounded by the Qing River on three sides, and now there is a canal running through it in the north, so the development space is very limited.

And the protagonist has been worried that the Red Fire Ant Congress will attract the revenge of its suzerain, the Paving Ant Empire, if the Leaf Cutting Ant Army can't resist, the Divine Envoy King Legion will have to rely on the canal as the last line of defense to resist, and [Xinyang City] will immediately become the front line.

In addition to the future ant alliance and civilization allies, the enemy to be faced, the destroyer, is also killed from the north, and the protagonist has decided to fortify all the territories on the north shore.

[Xinyangcheng] is still the capital at present, and will not be moved for the time being, and will still serve as the political center of the Ant Alliance in the future.

But most of them will have to be moved, and only the necessary ones will be left in the city. In this way, the representatives of the United Assembly of the various clans, the most senior ants of the subordinate ant clan, are separated from most of their native ants, and are easier to be controlled by the protagonist.

Since the iron ore is located in the [Red Iron City] on the north bank of the Qing River, the iron-making industry in [Xinyangcheng] will also be retained, and it will continue to shoulder the role of the only two metallurgical centers, but the other industries will also have to be evacuated to the south bank.

This is the positioning of [New Yang City] and [Pioneer City] planned by the protagonist to deal with the Paving Ant Empire and the Destroyer.

The former is the capital, the political center, the metallurgical center, and the command center and arms production center of the future military defense of the North Shore.

The latter and the south bank are the main rear, responsible for the production of materials, the supply of soldiers, and...... A retreat as a last resort.

The protagonist, who has had a failed battle against the Destroyer, has already begun to plan for a rainy day when the Destroyer's tentacles are still far away!

In addition to the 8 ant mounds, a ring of walls and moats was built on the edge of the highlands, and the moats are currently not connected to water.

The area of the city site in the city wall and the ditch is more than 200 square meters, and in addition to the existing ant mound colony, the vacant land area can also build two circles of dozens of ant mounds.

This is the space reserved by the protagonist for the future development of [Pioneer City].

By the time autumn begins in September, the agricultural industry in the [Pioneer Town] is already quite large-scale.

The ants live in tall, sturdy mounds, and the underground space is reserved for farms and fungal plantations.

Big-headed worker ants raise mealworms and maggots underground, and leafcutter ants collect leaves from nearby woods to grow fungi.

On the ground, arboreal ants such as bellied ants and mangrove ants take on the task of caring for aphids and purple gray butterfly larvae.

In the fertile land to the south of [Pioneer City], the dense crop fields are maintained by burrowing ants and paving ants, and the weeds that have been planted for more than a month have grown very rapidly under the right light and water.

In a short period of time, [Pioneer City] has shown great vitality!
