In general, the protagonist is a little disdainful of the intelligence level of his ministers, with the only two exceptions being Rambo Fei and Floating Leaf King.

Although Rambo Fei is not as good at military command as other males of the same age, he is also more disciplined and lacks creativity. However, in terms of administrative and logistical work, he took care of the base camp "Dongyang City" in an orderly manner when the protagonist was away for a long time, and his rigor, meticulousness and patience impressed the protagonist, and his status also soared, and there were faint signs of surpassing him to become the first important minister of the Divine Envoy King Army.

And needless to say, the Floating Leaf King is at the top level, whether it is in the big-headed ant kingdom or the paving ant kingdom, his wisdom belongs to the top level. He is able to emerge in the war between the Paving Ant Kingdom and the enemies of the North, slowly gain authority in the Paving Ant Kingdom King Conference, and can quickly formulate countermeasures against the new tactics of the Paving Ant Kingdom, and try to persuade the protagonist to let him go when the situation is unfavorable. The thoughtfulness of his mind has reminded the protagonist of those politicians who were good at intrigue and cunning in his previous life.

What the protagonist lacks is these ants, and these ants are also one in a hundred and one in a thousand among male ants. Therefore, the protagonist has the intention to pass on their excellent genes, and he plans to directly designate two smarter queens to mate with them during the next wedding ceremony, and pass on this IQ.

Although IQ genetics are not necessarily reliable, the nine sons of the dragon are still different, and the cunning such as Sima Yi, there are also the descendants of idiots like Sima Zhen who "why not eat minced meat". But this is a direction of eugenics.

- I'm the dividing line -

After the end of the first phase of the Southern Raiders, the Divine Envoy King's legion went through a short rest to replenish the shortage of the corps, summarized the actual combat experience of the previous stage, and adjusted some specific tactics.

Subsequently, the second phase of the strategy operation was launched.

In the next few days, the Divine Envoy King Legion relied on the intelligence returned from the reconnaissance of the flying knights to launch a sweeping operation against some valleys and mountain basins with dense ant populations within a day's distance from the "Southern City", focusing on eliminating those large-scale indigenous scythe hunting ant tribes.

The extermination of the indigenous tribes was even more bloody and horrific than the first stage, with all enemy corpses being dumped on the ground to deter the natives who still harbored ill intentions towards the "Southern City".

At the same time, after exterminating the indigenous tribes, the Divine Envoy King also hunted heavily in the tribe's territory, killing and transporting the prey back even if it did not need food, and even discarding it into rivers and lakes.

This is a scorched earth policy in disguise, and there are deeper considerations behind it.

- I'm the dividing line -

Broken Leg and I returned to the tribe and reported back to the queens what we had found.

The tragic situation of the neighboring tribes shook the whole tribe, and the queens, males, and older warriors were full of anxiety and worry, but the younger warriors were fearless, or rather, they had not experienced a painful defeat, and they did not know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and they really thought that their big jaws and stinging needles were invincible in the world.

We still don't know for sure who was responsible for the massacre of our neighbor's tribe.

There are only two objects of suspicion, the degenerate or the outsider.

The fallen are indeed the old enemies of our race, this is an extension of the struggle between the gods and the evil gods in the earthly realm, and the eternal war between our race and the fallen people protected by the evil gods has also existed since ancient times and will continue to last.

But the traces of the scene do not look like the work of the Fallen, and even the Fallen do not like this kind of slaughter. After their victory, they prefer to force the corrupted of their defeated people rather than dismember them like prey.

There are also no remnants of the Fallen's tentacles, which are often found on the battlefields where the Fallen appear, and are the first to be hated even more than the Fallen.

In this way, the main object of suspicion becomes the outsider. They do have the power to wipe out our neighboring tribes that are stronger than us.

However, outsiders live on the edge of the hills, far from here, a day's journey away, passing through the territory of several tribes in between.

There is no need for outsiders to come so far and wipe out a strange tribe. Our tribe chose this place in the first place to escape from outsiders, also because it is far away from danger.

Moreover, when outsiders come here, will those tribes not resist in the middle of the way?

There were irrational explanations for both suspects, much to the distress and horror of the tribe's leadership.

A neighboring tribe twice as strong as ours has suffered a tragic fate, and we are powerless to resist if this enemy comes to our tribe.

Panic spreads, and the eldest queen steps up to ensure the continuity and stability of the entire tribe.

Some of the best warriors were sent out to patrol the borders of the territory, and if there was any trouble, they would at least be able to send back the alarm.

The whole tribe spent days in the midst of the rumors, even the hunt was affected, but nothing happened.

Until three or four days later.

On that day, three young fighters were in charge of patrolling along the border.

The hunting of our tribe is generally a single warrior or a small number of warriors hunting in a team, and after they have eaten enough, the remaining prey will be handed over to the tribe.

None of these patrols were able to hunt that day, and the day before, they had bad luck and had not caught any prey. So they are patrolling hungry.

Unbearable hunger drove the three daring young warriors to disobey the queen's orders, and they crossed the border into the former territory of the neighboring tribe to hunt in the valley.

Although there are inexplicably fewer prey in the valley, there are still more than the barren hills where our tribe is located.

They were lucky enough to catch a worm and feast on it.

Then, the movement of the hunt and the smell of the prey attracted a fellow warrior, a scythe ant.

When the two sides saw each other, they were wary of each other for a while, and a skirmish ensued, with only one warrior on the other side, and they quickly fled.

And the three patrolling warriors also took the opportunity to come into contact with each other's scent, she did not belong to the neighboring tribe that had been destroyed, but a member of an unknown tribe.

The situation was quickly reported to the queen.

After a meeting and discussion, everyone thought that it must be that the territory of the neighboring tribe had no owner, which caused the covetousness of other nearby tribes.

After all, the valley occupied by the neighboring tribes was the place where the most prey was in the nearby hills, and had been occupied by the most powerful neighboring tribes before.

Now that the land has no owner, it is natural that other tribes want to take over, even if there is a threat from a mysterious enemy.
