The King's Council was originally arranged like this for the upcoming war against the Paving Ant Barbarians:

The main nest plans to dispatch nearly 80,000 troops from 50 legions as the main force to first carry out the recovery operation of the lost sub-nest on the south bank of the river. In addition, ten legions will be organized as a partial division to go to the front line of "Waterfront City" and "Bridgehead" to prevent the Paving Ant Barbarian Army from seizing control of the rope bridge and stabilize the position on the north bank of the Great River.

After the completion of the reconquest, the main force will move north, cross the great river, and invade the territory of the paving ant barbarians, in an effort to completely destroy this old enemy.

In terms of estimating the outcome of the war, the kings are extremely confident, because the final victory of the big-headed ant kingdom can be achieved every year after recovering the war, so that the kings think that the paving ant barbarian army is nothing more than that.

The only one who knows the true strength of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army is the protagonist, who has not only fought against the enemy, but also conducted reconnaissance in the air, and learned that the territory of the Paving Ant Barbarian is far wider than that of the big-headed ant kingdom, and there are more ant mouths.

The Paving Ant Barbarian Army, which goes south every winter, is only a small part of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, and it will always be defeated due to the lack of support blocked by the big river.

And if you drop a little, the big-headed ant kingdom expeditionary force that is on a lone expedition is likely to fall into the embarrassing situation of the paving ant barbarian army heading south in winter.

However, out of some selfishness, the protagonist does not plan to announce this news now.

This selfishness is especially strong when the King's Council asks the protagonist to hand over the two legions left behind in "Dongyang City" to the command of other kings and join the main army.

For such a large-scale military operation, the amount of food and materials required to be consumed is also astronomical.

This year's year is not good, the severe spring cold at the beginning of the year has seriously damaged the prey and food of the various sub-nest territories, at least until the next generation or even the next generation of insects and plants reproduce, this situation can be changed.

The main nest also stored less food and materials than in previous years, for this reason, the king meeting even decided to send the king and the king who had no combat mission to go to each sub-nest separately to collect materials, and each sub-nest except for the minimum stock of grain, other food materials must be transported to the front line to supply the needs of the army.

The protagonist quickly proposes a revised plan, citing the military threat of hunting sickle ants and parasitic ants in the southern region, and asks that his two legions left in "Dongyang Castle" and "Southern Fortress" stay in place, and at the same time, "Dongyang Castle" does not need to allocate food and supplies, and remains in the local area for defensive purposes.

In exchange, the protagonist promises not to need the main nest's troops and material support, and his own legions will independently defend the northern defense, and the food will also be raised by themselves.

In this way, the main nest can expand the main force to 55 to 60 legions, with a strength of 90,000 troops. The Council of Kings finally agreed to this amendment.

The final plan is still the very crude military plan that the ants are used to, with many details imperfect and a lack of emergency plans.

For example, in terms of food supply, it is arranged according to the fact that the reconquest war can end in a short period of time like last year, and this year, the army of the Divine Envoy King does not participate in the reconquest war, but concentrates on "Linshui City" and "Dongyang City", and it is a question mark whether the main force can complete the battle plan as scheduled.

Once the war is unfavorable, the food supply of the main force will be a big problem, and this year's year is not good, and it will not be easy to hunt on the spot to replenish military rations.

What's even more speechless is that the Great King Conference did not plan the next stage at all, that is, the logistics supply after the main force moved north and crossed the river to attack the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom. It is simply a request that the expeditionary force will be fed by the enemy at that time.

In the eyes of the kings, the food in the territory of the Paving Ant Barbarians on the north bank of the Great River is enough to supply the army, because the army can eat up all the resources it sees and encounters without thinking about sustainable development. And the enemy will also have food in the secondary nest of the conquered enemy.

But according to the protagonist's aerial reconnaissance, the territory of the paving ant barbarians was also attacked by the cold spring, and the supplies were also very tight......

The protagonist doesn't intend to make suggestions for improvement in response to this hidden danger, on the one hand, the protagonist is very unhappy with the King's Conference now, and on the other hand, the protagonist also sees that the King's Conference is not so stupid and ignorant, they want to consume some of the ant-mouths through war.

When encountering natural disasters, whether it is the big-headed ant kingdom or the paving ant barbarian country, the number of ant populations has exceeded the food supply capacity of the territory. In this case, there will inevitably be a large number of ant populations that need to be eliminated, and the means of extermination are either famine, plague or war.

Relatively speaking, war is the most profitable method, and if you win, you may get new territories to heal your wounds, and if you lose, you will at least consume the excess ant mouth.

The protagonist only needs to ensure that the power under his command is not consumed too much, and he has now completely lost his sense of belonging to the big-headed ant kingdom and the main nest, and thinks that he belongs to a third party.

As long as his army and territory are still there, with the knowledge and technology he brings from the human world, he does not have to worry about the food shortage after the natural disaster.

When the big-headed ant kingdom and the paving ant barbarian are killed in the dark, and both are defeated, it is also the best time for the protagonist to expand his power.

With this in mind, the protagonist returns to "Waterfront City".

Now that the construction of the "Waterfront City" has been completed, the farm has begun to provide meat, and with the breeding of mealworms, the number of mealworms is also increasing, and in addition to fresh meat, it has been able to provide excess meat to make jerky; The crops in the fields are also growing well, and because there is a shortage of grass seeds, half of the land is left to grow by weeds, and the ants who care for the fields remove the worthless weeds, leaving wild vegetables as a supplement for food.

With enough food, the protagonist has the confidence to complete his ambition and hegemony.

With the passage of time, the protagonist has abandoned the hope of returning to the original world, since he was born as an ant, he must also live vigorously, don't be looked down upon by other traversers.

The protagonist crosses the river to inspect the "bridgehead", where the fortifications have been completed and a well-fortified fortress has been built. The protagonist believes that as long as the Fourth Legion is here, the enemy will not be able to take it in the short term, even if they have ten times the strength of the siege.

The protagonist then asks Lamberto about this time.

Rambo Map reported that the paving ant barbarian warriors who have been operating near the "bridgehead" recently are still moving frequently, but there is no sign of a large-scale build-up attack. The Fourth Regiment has placed more patrols on guard.

The protagonist is a little strange.,How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.,The paving ant barbarians should have discovered that there are traces of big-headed ants on the north bank of the river.,Why didn't you take military action?

The protagonist feels the need to go out and conduct an in-depth investigation himself.
