Chapter 121: The Oldest King in Retreat
In any case, such a hostile parasitic ant nest exists five hours to the south, which is a huge threat to Dongyang City.
After the protagonist interrogates the captives, he asks the herald to gather all the adult males to a meeting room.
It was the thirty-two male ants of the original Divine Envoy King Legion who came to the meeting. The first batch of males hatched after the rebuilding of Dongyang City are being trained as reserve flying knights, while the second batch of males have not yet broken their pupa.
These two groups of male ants have not yet participated in the wedding flight ceremony, and they are still minors in the concept of ants, so the protagonist will not call them to participate.
After the kings arrive, the protagonist briefly explains the situation of the murderer who attacked them and the mysterious parasitic ant nest in the south, as well as the possible connection between the two.
The kings were shocked, and they had all been attacked by ferocious hand ants. At that time, they wondered why worker ants with the smell of the same nest attacked them.
And the mysterious silk thread parasite can even control the host's mind, which is even more unheard of by them.
The protagonist then asks everyone to discuss how to deal with the parasitic nest in the south.
In fact, the protagonist already has a plan in his heart: to lie on the side of the couch and let others sleep soundly.
Originally, this parasitic nest was hostile to "Dongyang City", and after murdering Lao Wang and attempting to assassinate Rolling and other young male ants, it formed a blood feud with us.
The protagonist asks himself, he can't tolerate the presence of such a parasitic ant nest nearby, always threatening himself.
What's more, the infectious ability and fecundity of this nest also made him feel the crisis.
The kings' discussions soon came to fruition, and not surprisingly, they also strongly demanded the immediate destruction of the parasitic nest.
Ants are inherently warlike species, and the males in attendance are all first-hand witnesses to previous attacks, so it's no surprise that they made this decision.
You must know that the idea that "if you are not my race, your heart must be different" is not only for humans, and the difference between big-headed ants and paving ants is far greater than the differences between different human species, and there is even reproductive isolation. And the war between the big-headed ant kingdom and the paving ant barbarian tribe has also lasted for hundreds of years and has not ended to this day.
There are also some kings who suggest that the protagonist should report the matter to the main nest, such as Lan Bofei, who insists on this view. In their opinion, only the king's meeting of the main nest has the final decision, and the secondary nest does not have the right to go out alone.
The protagonist also wants to go to the main nest, but he is not in awe of the authority of the main nest, nor does he want to appease the conservatives, these protagonists don't care. In his eyes, Dongyang City is already his own independent kingdom, and the other main and secondary nests are just allies.
But the protagonist still wants to go to the main nest to communicate with the eldest king, and many of the history and secrets of the ant kingdom are known only to the oldest king. As the police mentioned before, similar things have happened to some sub-nests in history, and maybe the oldest Wang will have some information.
As a result, the protagonist announces to the kings attending the meeting that he will go to the parasitic ant nest tomorrow, so that the kings will immediately start making preparations before the expedition, and he will go to the main nest to obtain authorization to go to the expedition.
The protagonist rides Xiaoqing after the meeting and flies to the main nest alone. Soon, the protagonist arrives at the main nest and lands on the top of the hillock.
The protagonist didn't get into it through the sacred passage, and he is also a person with status now, so try not to be taboo.
Soon a patrol team came up to meet him, and after verifying his identity, the king who led the team immediately respectfully obeyed the protagonist's orders.
The protagonist asks the patrol to lead Xiaoqing to the nest inside the entrance of the nest to rest, and feed her some honeydew and water.
And the protagonist himself is familiar with the way to the lair of the oldest king.
However, in front of the eldest king's nest, several strong soldier ants stop the protagonist and tell him not to enter.
The protagonist is very strange, he was only stopped by the old king's guards once when he first crossed, and after he became the king of the gods, no ant dared to stop him.
The protagonist asks for a reason to stop him, and the soldiers are unable to provide any reason, but keep telling the protagonist through their tentacles that this is the order of the oldest king.
In the end, the protagonist can only ask a soldier ant to relay his message packet to the eldest king to see if he can let him in.
As a result, the soldiers said that according to the order of the oldest king, they could not even enter themselves. Only a few worker ants who are responsible for serving the eldest king will receive food and water at the entrance every day that they can see the eldest king.
The protagonist is very puzzled, I haven't heard of ants also going into retreat.
Since he couldn't see Lao Wang, the protagonist retreated to the next best thing and went to find the elder brother.
The protagonist soon arrives at the elder brother's nest, but he is not in it, so the protagonist has to ask the passing worker ants, but the worker ants do not know the whereabouts of the elder brother.
Under the wall again and again, the protagonist had to go to the police again, but fortunately, the police stayed in the nest room.
The protagonist finally finds an acquaintance, and he immediately asks where the elder brother is going. After all, the senior brother is the descendant of the oldest king, and his understanding of the history of the big-headed ant kingdom must be deeper than that of ordinary kings, and it would be best if he could communicate with him.
The police tell the protagonist that near the newly recovered secondary nest, there is a small army of paving ant barbarians who were operating in the wild, but fortunately they were not annihilated by the expeditionary force.
This small group of paving ant barbarian army has established a small nest, which was discovered by the large-headed ant worker ants who were foraging for food not long ago and reported to the secondary nest, and the king of the secondary nest did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent a messenger to report to the main nest.
Considering that although this paving ant barbarian army is small, but it lives in the hinterland of the big-headed ant kingdom, the Great King's Council decided to exterminate them. The elder brother and some other kings, led by a great king, led a legion and set out yesterday.
Since it is so unfortunate, the protagonist can only communicate with the police. He first asked curiously why the eldest king suddenly retreated.
As a result, the police were also confused, he said that three days ago, the oldest Wang suddenly disappeared from anyone, and did not participate in the king's meeting, but only said that he was communicating with the gods. So all the kings and kings went to him no more.
Later, the protagonist also learns that the oldest Wang has never had such a retreat experience before. But as a person in charge of communication with God, what kind of strange behavior is not exaggerated. A quiet retreat is much more elegant than dancing with a great god or possessed by a god.
The protagonist had no choice but to report the strange parasitic ant nest he found to the police to see if he had any clues.
The public security immediately attached great importance to it, which may be the culprit of the mysterious demise of the secondary nest that has plagued the main nest for many years.
After asking the protagonist about the situation in detail, he anxiously immediately wanted to call a meeting of all the kings, and invited the protagonist to participate.
The protagonist hurriedly refuses, he really doesn't want to participate in this meeting, and is asked back and forth at the meeting.
As a compromise, he compiled the scenes of his two encounters with parasitic ants, as well as some of his experiences, into an information package and sent it to the police. This packet of information is enough for all the kings to understand what happened.
After that, the protagonist left the main nest in a hurry, for fear that the police would change his mind and pull him to the meeting.
As for the authorization to go out, I lied to Lan Bofei when I went back, and they said that it would be good if they had already gotten it.
