Chapter 117: Persuasion

After the battle just now, the Divine Envoy King Legion no longer dared to underestimate the strength of the mysterious ants.

On the last part of the road leading to [Target A], the Divine Envoy King's army walked cautiously, and a large number of scouts were sprinkled to the front and back, left and right, opening a huge warning net, for fear of encountering another surprise ambush.

The battle in the grass just now took place in the second half of the night, and the reason why Ramboseer was paralyzed and careless and ambushed was that in addition to the defeat of the arrogant soldiers, another important reason was that except for the Divine Messenger King Legion, there was no ant race that would carry out large-scale operations at night.

Rambosser suffered the loss of this mindset, but fortunately he commanded properly, and promptly ordered the troops to hold on and ask for help from the rear. Although his subordinates suffered heavy losses, the establishment was still there, and he could quickly recover his combat effectiveness after training, so the protagonist did not accuse him too harshly.

As the sky brightens, the entire Divine Envoy King's legion is on high alert, this is the time when the ants begin to be active, and the possibility of encountering enemies will be greatly increased.

However, until the Legion of the Divine Envoy King arrived near the entrance to [Target A]'s lair, they did not encounter any new mysterious ants.

It turned out that because of the great loss of strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army, most of the mysterious ants had begun to sweep all over the place, and the encirclement of the remaining troops was very loose on [Target A], especially in the direction to the east, which deviated from the territory of the Great King's Conference faction, even if the Northern Expeditionary Army wanted to escape, they would not choose this direction, so the mysterious ants only arranged hundreds of troops in the grass in this direction.

The Divine Envoy King's legion was considered to have broken through the weakest position of the mysterious ant's defense by mistake.

Seeing that there are no more enemies, the protagonist is also relieved. He didn't want to provoke these powerful enemies now. After all, he had come to [Target A] for another mission.

A courier was sent to [Subject A]'s lair, which was completely unguarded by defenders. It seems that the Northern Expeditionary Force stationed here has completely given up on the plan to fight the mysterious ants on the ground, and is determined to defend the underground.

After the messenger sets off for a while, the protagonist feels a slight vibration under his feet, which soon becomes "louder". After a while, a swarm of big-headed ants emerged from [Target A].

These big-headed ants include soldier ants and worker ants, and many of them are still wounded, or missing arms and legs, and they know at a glance that they have just experienced a tragic battle.

But the injuries and disabilities did not affect the fighting spirit of these ant warriors in the slightest, and under the orders of the commander, they still came to the outside of the nest and to the ground without fear.

The ant warriors of the King's Council faction formed two small circles outside the nest, one wing on the left and one on the right to protect the entrance and exit of the nest, and then, two more males were surrounded and came out of the underground nest.

The protagonist recognizes both of them, which are the public security king and the elder brother king.

Seeing that the two kings did not go too far from the mouth of the lair, they seemed to be still on guard, and then the messenger sent by the protagonist was released - she had just been held by the two kings, and she had temporarily lost her freedom.

It turned out that after entering [Target A]'s lair, the messenger quickly encountered several ants and asked them about the whereabouts of the Public Security King.

The protagonist knows that the King of Public Security will definitely be the king who has the right to speak in the Northern Expeditionary Army according to his qualifications, after all, when he was in the main nest, the King of Public Security was one of the most powerful kings, and he was also one of the giants in the Northern Expeditionary Army.

As several other giants of the Northern Expeditionary Army have died or grown old, the public security king is undoubtedly the only remaining veteran in the army of the King Conference's faction, and he has a friendship with the protagonist, so the protagonist naturally gives priority to finding him to find out.

Because the Legion of the Divine Envoy and the King's Council faction are currently in a hostile state, and the protagonist is also prepared for the courier to be killed, in case this happens, the protagonist will continue to send the courier, and even does not rule out the possibility of entering [Target A] by force.

But fortunately, although the two sides are in a state of hostility, the Divine Envoy King Legion and the current Northern Expeditionary Army are all of the same origin, and they both come from the original big-headed ant kingdom, and the aura on their bodies is almost the same.

And due to the barrier of the Great River, the males of the Great King's Council faction also thought that they would not encounter the Divine Envoy King Legion in a short period of time, and the main enemies at present were still the Paving Ant Barbarian Army and the Mysterious Ants, and they did not deliberately issue hostile orders against the Divine Envoy King warriors.

So the messenger was lucky and smoothly brought before the public security king.

The Courier returns to the protagonist, and she brings back the message pack of the Public Security King.

The protagonist opens the information package, and there is no greeting between the deceased, and the emotions embodied by the public security king in the information package are very calm and have a sense of distance.

He seemed to be just routinely asking why God had sent the king here.

Although there is no obvious hostility, the protagonists do not find the familiar feeling when they were fighting side by side.

A year ago, the protagonist might have been sad. But now, he is stronger inside, and he doesn't need friendship to support the pillars of his heart. As a human who has traveled to the world of ants, the protagonist knows that he is destined to be alone. The old man himself is a person who is getting farther and farther away, and there is nothing to be sad about.

The protagonist calmly asks the messenger to go back and reply, his purpose is very simple, that is, the Northern Expeditionary Army still stationed in [Target A] can follow his legion to the south bank of the Great River, so as to avoid being trapped here and annihilated.

As a consideration for the other party, the protagonist promises to reserve a sub-nest for the King's Conference faction on the south bank of the Great River, where the Northern Expeditionary Army can be fully autonomous, and the Divine Envoy King's legion will not interfere in any way.

This is the plan that the protagonist on the road came up with, and he felt that this plan had the best of both worlds, and the King Conference faction could save the lives of many male ants and ordinary ants, and it was not considered to "surrender" to himself, and he still retained his autonomy. And the Divine Envoy King's Legion can also actually subdue the most elite troops of the Northern Expeditionary Army as "vassals", and use this to learn a lot of information about the mysterious ants.

After all, the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Mysterious Ants had already fought twice, both of which were five-figure battles, far more than the Divine Envoy King's Legion knew about the enemy.

But soon, after a simple touch of tentacles, the public security king and the senior brother king let the messenger return.

What they think is completely different from what the protagonist thinks - they directly reject the protagonist's proposal, and say that the two sides are already enemies, and the next time the evil minions of the Divine Envoy King dare to set foot here, the Northern Expeditionary Army will definitely fight back.

Subsequently, the public security king and the senior brother king did not wait for the protagonist to reply, and immediately led the troops to shrink back into the ground. They still saved face for the protagonist, and did not meet each other directly.

Negotiations between the two sides broke out unhappily.
