The next day, the three Divine Envoy King legions set off again, and according to the established plan, they still completed the first phase of the combat mission with the tactics of early morning raid.

At this point, the hilly area within half a day's journey of the "Southern Fortress" has been completely cleared, eleven indigenous scythe hunter ant tribes have been completely destroyed, more than 1,000 sickle hunter warriors have been killed, hundreds of juvenile ants have been captured, and not a single native ant has escaped.

On the side of the Divine Envoy King's legion, there were only less than a hundred casualties, more casualties and fewer casualties, and only a dozen of them were killed. In the face of an enemy with strong single combat power and a battle of trapped beasts, the Divine Envoy King Legion still showed extremely strong combat effectiveness.

For the casualties of the soldiers, in addition to the new soldier ants to supplement the legion, to make up for the shortfall. For seriously injured fighters, the protagonist arranges for them to retire, while some fighters with mild disabilities who cannot continue to adapt to high-intensity field combat have other uses for the protagonist.

Since there is no longer an external threat near the "Southern Fortress", the protagonist decides to rebuild the "Southern Fortress" into the "Southern City" as the base camp of the Divine Envoy King's legion in the hilly area, enhance its economic strength, and provide long-term logistical support for the nearby Southern Raiders.

In terms of specific measures, the queen ants were dispatched from "Dongyang City" to station, and a breeding farm and farmland were built in "Nanfang City", the scale of aphid and scale insect herds was expanded according to local conditions, and the number of resident worker ants was increased.

As a supporting defensive measure, the protagonist chooses three nests with moderate distances and dangerous locations from the old nest sites of the eleven indigenous scythe hunter ant tribes that have been destroyed, and establishes the outer fortress of "Southern City".

These forts contain only a small number of defensive units, mainly veterans, mildly disabled soldiers, and soldiers who have not yet reached adulthood and have not been incorporated into the legion. The entrance to the fortress was built as a fortification similar to a "bridgehead", while making full use of the terrain and reducing the length of the defense.

These forts were theoretically able to hold out for longer periods of time with only a small number of troops, and their above-ground and underground defenses were prepared to limit jumping, ambushes, jaw attacks, and stinging pins.

With these three fortresses holding the perimeter, it is difficult for a large group of enemies to pass through directly, threatening the "Southern City".

And with the expansion of the control territory, the protagonist once again deeply feels the lack of ant talents under his command.

At present, among the main teams under the protagonist, Lan Bofei, who is responsible for the administration of the base camp of "Dongyang City", Lan Borui who guards "Dongyang City", Lan Botu who guards "South City", Rambo Se who guards the "bridgehead", and Roll, Rambo Fo, and Rambo Wan who lead the legion, these are all male ants who break the chrysalis with the body that the protagonist has crossed into this world, and they are also the most trusted team of the protagonist.

The little secretary in charge of scientific research and Hua Mulan, who is responsible for the safety of the protagonist, are the worker ants and soldier ants that originally belonged to "Dongyang City", among which the little secretary has a special background and a high IQ, but limited to the resolute opposition of the identity and male ant class, the protagonist cannot give her much power politically, and can only let her be responsible for the scientific research work that the protagonist thinks is very important, but the other ants ignore it.

Hua Mulan has no strengths other than loyalty, so she can only be qualified for the position of captain of the guard, and her training room is limited.

The big banyan who guards the "waterfront city" and is responsible for the administrative work of the place is the king who originally belonged to the big-headed ant kingdom, and after the "waterfront city" was assigned to the protagonist's command because of the winter defense operations, after a winter run-in, the big banyan accepted the protagonist's leadership. But as the old genus of the big-headed ant kingdom, he still has a strong sense of belonging to the big-headed ant kingdom, which makes the protagonist a little worried, so he doesn't dare to reuse him with confidence.

The Floating Leaf King and the Black Pearl Queen are paving ants who betray their original group because of the protagonist's coercion and temptation. Now, neither the Paving Ant Kingdom nor the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom can tolerate their existence, and they are only safe with the protagonist. Because of this, these two aliens who have no way out are more trusted by the protagonist.

This time, the protagonist plans to place the black pearl ant queen in "Southern City" and expand the size of the paving ant population under his command.

As for the Floating Leaf King, he can't just be idle, although his rich war experience is still unsightly for the protagonist and feels that he is rigid, but he is already qualified to be a military instructor for young male ants, and liberates Lan Bofei, who is not good at military affairs, from this position. Therefore, the protagonist transfers him back to "Dongyang City" this time, and also uses it to keep him away from the paving ant colony.

In addition to the above-mentioned important ministers from mixed sources, the protagonist has deeply felt the shortage of ant talents, and many middle and high-level positions, especially administrative positions, lack suitable options.

For example, the construction of the "Southern City" required a special administrative officer, and at present, it can only be held by Rambotu of the Fourth Army stationed here. But Rambotu can fight, but he is not good at managing the lair.

Based on this, the protagonist decides to promote a group of young male ants.

This group of males mainly comes from the wedding flight ceremonies organized by the protagonists in the territory last year and this year, and a group of adult young males have not yet been arranged for formal work, and are often scattered to intern.

The protagonists use it as a reserve cadre force based on their internship.

However, most of the young male ants are also military ants, and they have no other way to be promoted except for the squad commander who died in battle and the commander of the fortress, and the competition is too fierce.

However, there is a great lack of administrative ants, who are naturally fond of war and somewhat disdainful of administrative logistics.

As everyone knows, in the eyes of the protagonist, administrative logistics officials are more important and more valuable. In his heart, Rambo Fei was even more important to the entire Divine Envoy King Legion than rolling.

Among the young male ants, the protagonist only discovered three who had more potential in administrative work. Based on the eye-catching signs in the neighborhood where the protagonist first meets them, the protagonist names them "Bamboo", "Beard", and "Gardenia".

Speaking of which, ants don't need to rely on names to distinguish each other, they have a way of identifying each other that is difficult for humans to understand. But the protagonist can't, his psychology is human, so he needs to give good names or nicknames to all the ants he is familiar with. But these ants, which look very similar to each other, are difficult to find characteristics only from their bodies and appearances, and the nicknames of "scarface", "black skin" and "fat man" in the human world are useless here, which has always given the protagonist a headache.

This time, the protagonist plans to arrange "Gardenia" to "South City" to be in charge of administrative work, "Bamboo" to assist Lan Bofei in Waterfront City, and "Beard" to "Waterfront City" to assist and monitor Banyan.

The protagonist is still full of expectations for them.
