- I'm the dividing line -
In the message pack sent by the mysterious big-headed ant "Remnant", in addition to conveying the message that they want to "form an alliance", it is the method of domesticating beetles as a gift, which obviously arouses the great interest of the protagonist.
However, this group of mysterious big-headed ant "remnants" is not so stupid and sweet, they left a hand, and the most critical information about brainwashing the new broken pupal beetle is not included, and the other party expressed the hope that after the covenant is reached, this part of the information will be provided.
Without thinking about it, the protagonist agrees to the request for an alliance.
If it is said that the protagonist still has scruples about the queen inheritance force represented by the oldest king faction, he is worried that his growth will break the balance of his painstaking management.
For this mysterious force, the protagonist already knows through the messenger of the most old king that it is small in scale, and that it is "indisputable", at least for now, it is not a threat to himself.
Therefore, it is a very cost-effective deal to obtain the beetle domestication technology that the protagonist dreams of with an ethereal alliance.
The other party's request for an alliance was to meet the leaders of both sides in a neutral place and swear an alliance to God. This sense of ritual of alliance is something that the protagonist has rarely experienced in the primitive and rugged life of the races on both sides of the river, which makes the protagonist feel that the other party has a high level of civilization.
Once the alliance is reached, the opposing party asks the protagonist forces to ensure their "safety" and provide support in the event of an external attack on the "remnants" of the big-headed ants. And in return, in addition to the technology of domesticating beetles, the other party will also give the protagonist five beetles that have been domesticated.
The location of the alliance was chosen as the "real main nest" of the most old Wang faction, and this group of big-headed ant "remnants" felt that this was a place where both sides could go with confidence.
The protagonist is already overjoyed, he agrees to the request, and then asks his subordinates to entertain the envoy.
After the envoy leaves, the protagonist begins to calm down, and the flame that burns too high in pursuit of civilization begins to cool.
He agrees to form an alliance, and agrees to go to the "real Lord's Lair" to meet with the "remnants" of the big-headed ants and the Elder King's faction, which is not just a hot-headed decision, even if he has calmed down, the protagonist feels that it is necessary.
If you form an alliance with the other party, then it is naturally necessary to form a friendly relationship with the Elder King faction, and the other party obviously trusts the Elder King faction.
Of course, the protagonist will certainly not obey the command of the Queen's Legacy and will still maintain his independence. However, through some material support, the most old Wang faction can feel their goodwill. The degree of this material is to maintain the survival of the other party, but not to make it stronger.
As for the "remnants" of big-headed ants, their demands are very simple, only asking for a safety commitment. In exchange for real technology and five beetles, the protagonist feels that he has earned it no matter how he looks at it.
As for whether or not to conscientiously fulfill this security commitment in the future, it is entirely up to the situation to be decided. The protagonist is also afraid that the other party will have any bad intentions, and deliberately uses the alliance with himself to expand, and regards the army of the god envoy king who is his own since Anta is anyway as their thug.
However, perhaps the ritual of the oath to God, which the protagonist does not yet understand, is binding on the "remnants" of ants, but it is unbinding on the protagonist.
Born in New China, the protagonist who grew up under the red flag is a staunch atheist, even if he crosses over into an ant, the protagonist feels that this is something that can be explained by science, not the way of ghosts and gods. In the past, the protagonist would trollingly complain to the "God of Travel", but in fact he didn't believe in this god.
Since he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he is naturally not afraid to break his oath. As for the virtue of honesty and trustworthiness, it is more about restraining ordinary people, especially ordinary people in peacetime, as politicians, except for some basic bottom lines, there is nothing that cannot be compromised and broken through.
Now that they have decided to make an alliance with each other, the protagonist decides to take a trip to the "real Lord's Lair", and when the Elder King's envoy returns, he will inform the protagonist of this decision to the Queen's Legacy (the Elder King) faction and the Big-Headed Ant "Remnant".
The date set by the protagonist is three days later. The reason why he is in such a hurry is that the protagonist is indeed very eager to get the coveted technology and beetle.
Second, for security reasons, if the other party wants to be unfavorable to themselves, the time to prepare will not be sufficient.
In total, the envoy is now being entertained in Dongyang City, feasting on honeydew and jerky, which is a rare treat for the envoy who often starves in the lair. When these envoys have eaten and slept enough, and set foot on the way home the next day, they will have to be the oldest Wang and the big-headed ant "remnant" of the day to get the news at the earliest, leaving them with no more than a day to prepare, and it is difficult to make too many arrangements that are unfavorable to the protagonist.
In order to ensure his own safety, the protagonist also decides to bring his own legion with him, both to show his strength to new "allies" and to deter possible ill-intentioned people.
In fact, if the protagonist enters the state of "Descending from the Gods", with the strength of the Queen's inheritance faction in the "Real Lord's Lair", it will not be able to stop the protagonist from breaking out.
Based on the protagonist's tentative information about the two envoys, he knows that there are not many troops in the "real main nest".
Although these envoys have been trained and cautioned, they are adamant not to divulge anything other than the information packet, especially about the "true Lord's Nest".
But it's hard to get the protagonist with a human mind and thinking.
The protagonist pretends to be concerned about giving them food, but doesn't know how much to help, and asks the two envoys about the food consumption of the "real Lord's Nest".
The two envoys, presumably feeling that the question was benevolent, told the protagonist the approximate amount of food consumed. There was a discrepancy in the data provided by the two envoys, after all, the envoys were only worker ants, not important figures in the Queen's Inheritance faction, and they could only estimate the approximate amount of food consumed from their own intuitive feelings.
According to the data provided by the Envoy, the protagonist believes that there are only 500 to 1,000 ants in the "real main nest", which is a threat to the protagonist.
Therefore, the protagonist decides that in addition to the Praetorian Guard team, it will be enough to ensure his own safety by bringing the first legion of the Divine Envoy King who rolls. As for the flying knight, he naturally has to accompany him to be responsible for the investigation.
And the protagonist himself, this time he didn't plan to ride Xiaoqing II, he decided to ride Tempest, as a fly, although Tempest's mobility is not as good as Xiaoqing II, but it is more suitable for ground and underground operations.
