- I'm the dividing line -

With his prestige and skill, the protagonist has a strong control over territories such as "Dongyang City", and has almost formed a small independent kingdom within the big-headed ant kingdom.

But that doesn't mean that the kings of the main nest are ignorant of what is happening there.

After the messengers who normally went to "Dongyang City" obtained some information and passed it back to the main nest, some kings who were curious about it once sent private messengers to "Dongyang City" and other places to inquire for information.

These private messengers belong to the same country as the Legion of the Divine Messenger King, and thus enter the protagonist's territory unhindered. Instead of making contact with the higher-ups of the Divine Envoy King's legion, the personal messengers on a mission move around the territory and report what they see and hear to their respective masters.

It can also be seen from this that the kings of the big-headed ant kingdom are not completely in harmony with each other, so it is necessary to cultivate their own spies or private forces.

The protagonist also didn't expect the kings to be so curious about the unique measures of "Dongyang City", so they didn't think about secrecy measures at all.

"Dongyang City" is like a big sieve in intelligence work, and it has long been spied into a thousand holes. Although the same is true for other secondary nests and even the main nest.

A large part of the information about this "Dongyang City" has been shared with all the kings through various channels.

The Public Security King knew some of the information before, but he was a staunch supporter of the protagonist, so naturally he would not question what the protagonist had done, so there was no need to inform the protagonist of this situation - if the protagonist was willing, he could also send a private messenger himself to find out the information of other kings, which was one of the rights of the kings.

Therefore, it is not until this moment that the protagonist realizes that the "Dongyang City" that he thinks is his private territory has almost no secrets to the main nest.

Thankfully, since the spring of this year, the kings have been busy preparing for the wedding ceremony and the upcoming war, and have not continued to inquire for information. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the information that "Dongyang City" and other territories have a large amount of grain will also be leaked, and the protagonist has told the official messenger of the main nest that there is a serious shortage of grain, and even got a batch of grain straw supported by the main nest because of this.

The protagonist endures the shock in his heart and continues to watch the kings' arguments.

The main point of contention among the kings is a series of reform measures that the protagonists have in "Dongyang City" that have never heard of for the kings.

There are reformers and conservatives in any group, but unfortunately it is clear that the conservatives are far more powerful than the reformers among the kings. Therefore, the opinion of the conservatives basically represents the opinion of the King's Conference.

Reformers like the Public Security King, who have seen the strength of the protagonist and the Divine Envoy King's legion, although they have high personal prestige, cannot compete with the conservatives who are outnumbered. Especially now one of the backbone of the reformers, the king of the West, has also died.

Some of the protagonist's series of initiatives are acceptable to conservatives.

For example, Dongyang City has large-scale mealworm and maggot farms, as well as farmland. The kings did not understand the mystery, but these new things could provide a lot of food, and this kind of productivity increase did not touch the vital interests of the kings and kings, and certainly would not be opposed by conservatives.

However, the conservative kings believed that these farms and farmlands should not be left in a remote secondary nest, but should be transferred to the main nest, which would be directly controlled by the Council of the Lords. In terms of balancing the strength of the central and local governments, the Great King Conference is the most typical idea of strong cadres and weak branches.

Even if the Divine Envoy King, the protagonist, is not killed, the King's Council believes that he must transfer most of the farms and farmland to the Main Nest, and that Dongyang City can only keep some of them as a reward for the Divine Envoy King's exploits.

Hearing this, the protagonist's face darkens.

And some of the kings threw out some information about the reform measures of the protagonists they knew, which almost attracted overwhelming opposition from the kings' meeting.

For example, there are dozens of paving ants under the command of the protagonist.

These paving ants hatched from the eggs of ants captured during the Reconquista last year, and because they were born in a colony of big-headed ants, they were born with the aura of the big-headed ant kingdom, so the workers and soldiers at the bottom did not regard them as outsiders. However, the male ants have been complaining about this.

The Council of Kings could not tolerate such a situation, for the kings, their life's mission was to attack and exterminate as many paving ant barbarians as possible, how could they sit idly by and watch their own country still have the descendants of their enemies, even if these descendants of enemies are just hard labor.

Some kings have demanded that the Laying Ants be killed immediately, but due to too much information about the protagonist's shocking actions, this suggestion has not been included in the discussion.

What angered the king the most was that the protagonist touched the class interests of all the male ants.

The main reason is that the protagonist has given the big worker ant class some benefits that were originally exclusive to the male ants.

In the class system of the protagonist's own faction, the large worker ant class belongs to the third estate, and it seems that the status is lower than that of male and female ants. Moreover, the large worker ant class is not allowed to participate in political and military decision-making, does not have the right to vote on major matters, and is only responsible for civilian work. In terms of high-level food supply, the protagonist lowers the high-level food supply of adult large worker ants, but strives to maintain the high-level food supply of large worker ant larvae.

This series of compromise measures is to alleviate the wariness of the male ant class against the large worker ant class.

Even under the command of the protagonist, there are many male ants who oppose this. Some of the males were extremely indignant at the appointment of the Great Worker Ant and the Light Gold Worker Ant to take the place of the king and the king, and even feared that the large worker ants would threaten the political and military privileges of the male ants in the future. There are also males who are dissatisfied with the need for high-grade food consumption by the large worker ant class.

It was only under the mastery of the protagonist's political skills and mutual compromise that this system was established within the Divine Envoy King's faction.

However, the kings who learned the information were too far away from "Dongyang City" and did not understand the good intentions of the protagonists, so they only saw that the resources and interests that originally belonged to the male ants were actually transferred to the worker ants.

The Council of the Great Kings was completely unaware of the intellectual superiority of the Great Worker Ants, who in their opinion were the lowest class of worker ants.

Now, the protagonist not only wastes valuable high-class food on these lowly worker ants, but also puts them in important positions that even the males disdain to do.

This is an insult to the male ant class, that is, all the kings and kings, and some radical kings even think so.
