Chapter 92: The Traitor (2)
The Eagle has indeed betrayed the protagonist and his original team.
To this day, if Flyhawk were allowed to continue that day's choice, he might still choose this path.
The story goes back to that day, when the battle around the [Hunting Ground City] in the Tohoku region was coming to an end.
In order to make a meritorious consequence, when the Flyhawk pursued the Old-fashioned King alone with only two flying knights, he unexpectedly fell into a trap and was subdued by the ambush of the Old-fashioned King.
Originally, the dragon eagle thought that he would die, but unexpectedly, at this time, the old-fashioned king actually asked him if he was willing to join the command of the orthodox king and assist them in fighting against the evil oracle king.
It can only be said that no one expected that the old-fashioned king, who was as old-fashioned as his name, would have the heart to persuade an enemy and a prisoner to surrender.
The protagonist didn't expect that in the ant world, except for a few slave ants, other ants often kill the enemy and leave no prisoners. So after the "disappearance" of the Fly Eagle, he just guessed that the Fly Eagle was killed, and he was just very sorry at that time.
But now, after learning of the betrayal of the dragonfly, the protagonist is unusually angry, a kind of anger that forced him to face the betrayal of the big banyan in the first place.
At that time, the Eagle didn't expect that the old-fashioned king, who had already mastered his life and death, would make such a suggestion, and he thought that he would definitely die!
If it was just a generous death, the Flyhawk would not have any fear. But once he had a choice, between life and death, he chose the former without hesitation.
The Flyhawk is not completely free of psychological baggage, and his education since childhood has made him almost worship the Divine Envoy King.
But this is worship rather than blind faith, and the Flying Knight has always been quite critical of some of the policies and measures of the Divine Envoy King, and even forced the protagonist to have the idea of drastic reform of the Flying Knight, which shows the depth of the mustard between the two sides.
This layer of mustard, on the contrary, after the "disappearance" of the fly eagle, as the protagonist took the opportunity to vigorously build the bee flying knight, selected the big worker ants to enter the flying knight team, and the continuous mixing of sand was basically eliminated.
As the leader of the flying knights at that time, Flyhawk's attitude and opinions undoubtedly influenced the other flying knights, and there was a difference in philosophy between him and the protagonist.
Although he grew up under the education of the Divine Envoy King, some of the older male ants who had educated the Flyhawk at the beginning only joined the Divine Envoy King's command in the main nest [Qingqiu City], and originally supported the King's Council faction, and their views were also passed on to the Flyhawk. This is the ideological basis for all the contradictions and conflicts between the Flyhawk and the protagonist.
Of course, the Dragonfly Eagle did not intend to disobey the great Divine Envoy King before, and he had always pursued progress within the system of the Divine Envoy King's legion.
But as some of his original subordinates have been promoted to the rank of Legion Commander, they are also nominally Legion Commanders, but in fact they can only command fifty subordinate Flyhawks, there must be resentment.
Now, a new opportunity lies ahead of him, and the old-fashioned king promises to give him the title of true king. This bargaining chip coupled with his own life made the Flyhawk agree without hesitation - he is a realist through and through.
The old-fashioned king didn't recruit the eagle on a whim, although he was old-fashioned, he didn't know how to be flexible, and his old-fashioned style was more reflected in the loyalty to the faction to which he belonged.
Although there are many reasons for repeated defeats in the battle with the Divine Envoy King's army, the Flying Knights' threat is well known to the Old-fashioned King, and if he wants to defeat the evil Divine Envoy King, the King's Council faction must also have its own Flying Knights. This is the very simple idea of the old-fashioned king.
There was also a very real reason, as the old king's plan to conquer [Waterfront City] had failed, and the alliance in the Northeast had failed, he knew that he would soon be unable to survive if he continued like this.
Like all true ant commanders, the Archotype King is not afraid of death, but he feels that he will do more to be alive. If he could pass on the information he had obtained about the Divine Envoy King's legion to the expeditionary force on the north bank of the Great River, it would undoubtedly be the most useful contribution to the Great King's Council faction.
But it is almost impossible to cross the river with its current strength, and the ants cannot fly or swim. But the Flying Knights can!
For a double reason, the old-fashioned king and the flyhawk hit it off.
At this time, the two flying knights who followed the Flyhawk had been killed by the ambush, and the old king ordered his subordinates to continue to flee into the distance.
He himself sat on the mount of the Flyhawk, and the two males abandoned their men that day, and both fled to the north bank of the Great River, where they saw the expeditionary force as they wished.
The expeditionary force welcomed the arrival of the two male ants, and after learning from the Great Banyan about the actions of the evil Divine Envoy King, they had broken with the Divine Envoy King's legion, and even the Public Security King and Senior Brother King, who had the closest relationship with the Divine Envoy King, could not accept their betrayal of the Great King's Council.
It's just that due to the destruction of the rope bridge, for half a year, the remnants of the Great King Conference faction on the north bank of the river have never received information from the south bank.
Now, the arrival of the Old-fashioned King and the Flyhawk has made them know that the situation on the south bank of the Great River has actually deteriorated to this point, and the actions of the evil Divine Envoy King have strengthened the determination of the Great King's Council faction to fight the Divine Envoy King's army to the end.
In particular, the arrival of the Flyhawk allowed the males of the King's Conference faction to learn a lot about the Divine Envoy King's legion for the first time.
The Flyhawk even said that he was able to assist the King's Council faction in training more Flying Knights, provide aerial reconnaissance for the King's Council faction's army, and even help rebuild the rope bridge to [Waterfront City] so that the expeditionary force could "go home".
The vision of the Flyhawk impressed the males who were far from their homeland, and his position within the King's Council faction soon rose to the top ten.
While the remnants of the King's Council faction were recuperating on the north bank of the Great River, they were not doing nothing, in addition to constantly expanding the ant population, they were also preparing to return home.
To go home, you first need to build a rope bridge, and the construction of a rope bridge is inseparable from the assistance of the flying knights, and it is not enough to rely on the flying knight alone, and the task of training more flying knights is imminent.
While the Flyhawk promises to help train more Flying Knights, and the Flyhawk does have experience training Flying Knights, the job is not that simple.
For example, to have a suitable fly mount, the Divine Envoy King Legion relies on a stable supply of fly farms, but the King's Council faction does not have fly farms.
They can only use the most primitive method, sending ants around trying to catch flies alive. But what a sensitive creature flies are, and it wasn't until the mysterious ants attacked that the King's Council faction had caught six usable flies.
