Chapter 43: Getting on the Horse (1)

The battle continues, and the situation turns in favor of the Divine Envoy Legion.

After killing the bellied ants in front of them, several nearby teams gathered one after another, and the warriors of the Divine Envoy King, led by the morale-boosting commanders, chased and slaughtered the bellied ants.

Since the vanguard force was defeated, the large army composed of hundreds of bellied ants in the rear seemed to have lost their fear, and they had completely lost their previous appearance of being arrogant and showing off their might.

They scattered and fled, barely able to organize effective resistance. The Divine Envoy King's legion is divided into troops to chase and kill, resolutely carrying out the protagonist's orders, and destroying all the enemies as much as possible.

But there are too many enemies, and there are still many fish that slip through the net.

The battle at Golden Beach didn't last long, and the remaining ants had fled all the way into the nearby woods, while the rest were killed on the beach.

After the pursuing Divine Envoy King warriors entered the woods, they were soon ambushed by enemy reinforcements, and dozens of belly-raising ants came out of nowhere, spraying formic acid from the nearby trees to the Divine Envoy King warriors, so that the range was longer, and the Divine Envoy King warriors could not fight back for a while.

Although the accuracy of the formic acid shooting also dropped sharply, it still startled the commander of the Divine Angel King's legion, and took advantage of the small losses to hurriedly withdraw from the woods with a few subordinates.

Judging by the actions of the enemy, this forest should be their territory, and the nest may be in it. The commanders were not going to venture deeper into the woods any longer.

The last time the Divine Envoy King warriors arrived at Golden Beach, they didn't enter the woods, nor did they encounter belly-raising ants, and the two sides passed by.

This time, the two sides officially met each other, and it was a very unpleasant and bloody one.

After the warriors retreated, the bellied ants did not dare to pursue, as if they were frightened by the previous slaughter, they were really a very timid ant, not at all as aggressive as the big-headed ants or the paving ants.

The warriors of the Divine Envoy King who had participated in the battle regrouped on the Golden Beach, and it was only then that they found out the reason why the army of bellied ants had stayed here until they were killed.

The bellied ants had been guarding a pile of stuff - it was a small pile of golden sand.

Unlike the sands scattered on the beach, these sands were apparently consciously picked out and piled up here in a small cone, the size of a blueberry.

Several male ant commanders curiously recorded this scene, and did not move these shiny golden sands that could not be eaten or used, and then each commanded his subordinates, found some food nearby, carried the corpses of their companions, and hurriedly left the battlefield full of corpses.

- I'm the dividing line -

Outside [Xinyang City], on a small branch of the big poplar tree, the protagonist who was blowing the wind was found by the male ant commander who rushed to hear the news.

After reading about the scene that just happened on Golden Beach, the protagonist comforts the males, rejects them, and then falls into deep thought alone.

Encounters, battles, and exposure of the native ants are the results of the protagonist's long anticipation, and he does not blame the male ants for not being able to complete the mission of the Divine Messenger King.

After all, the Divine Envoy King warriors can't be invisible, and a huge [Xinyang City] stands here, although there are few ants nearby, but it is only a matter of time before it is exposed.

The protagonist had asked his subordinates to kill as many native ants as possible, but he just wanted to delay the time of discovery.

According to the original plan, when the Divine Envoy King's army was ready and returned from crossing the river, it would not matter if the [Xinyang City] that had been emptied was given to the indigenous ants for nothing.

However, now that his existence has been exposed during this time period, it is still a headache for the protagonist. Tsinghua

[Xinyang City] and the Divine Envoy King warriors inside are at their weakest, and they have just quelled the plague that has spread for nearly a month, and now the nest ** has very little food, and the ant mouth is only seven or eight thousand, and there is no pregnant queen, so there is no ability to replenish the loss.

If the indigenous ants attack on a large scale, even if the opponent is weak in combat, according to the male ants. But the ants bit the elephant to death, and every soldier on his side was lost, and he didn't want to be replenished for two months.

Moreover, even if the other party can't attack [Xinyang City], as long as they keep wandering around, the warriors of the Divine Envoy King will have to take a lot of risks to go out to forage for food, and it is very easy to fall into a serious food crisis.

The protagonist has some headaches!

At this time, he flipped through the information package and saw that the bellied ants were actually collecting gold!

What is the use of the gold they want, this thing cannot be eaten or drunk, can they take it back and build a house? Or has the civilization of these bellied ants reached the point where they needed their general equivalents?

The protagonist's heart moves, and he sends a small team of elite fighters to the golden beach.

In the evening, the soldiers returned safe and sound, and they reported that there was no trace of the pile of golden sand on the golden beach, and the corpses of the nearby bellied ants were gone.

It seems that those golden sands are quite important for belly lifters!

- I'm the dividing line -

After receiving the news, the protagonist couldn't figure out what the use of the belly ants asking for a pile of gold for the time being.

He ignored it for a moment and returned to the venue. Just now, he was having a small meeting with some of the older males to discuss the current predicament that [Xinyangcheng] is facing.

It is irreparable to have a bad relationship with the indigenous ants, and the battle between the two sides is certainly inevitable.

Now everyone is discussing how to survive the difficult period of not being able to replenish troops for these two months, and wait for the male ants to break the pupa after a month, even if they get married immediately, the first eggs laid will have to hatch for nearly a month.

During these two months, if the under-armed Divine Envoy King warriors held [Xinyang City], they would run out of food, and if they ventured out, they might face heavy losses.

This is the biggest headache for everyone.

The protagonist is connected to several male ants with antennae and forms a circle in a nest room, at which point there is no information in the antennae, and everyone is silent.

At this moment, suddenly the news of the beetle came from the tentacles.

The meaning expressed by the beetle is very simple and operational, and it immediately won the unanimous support of the other males.

Then, all the males' heads are turned back, and a pair of compound eyes look directly at the protagonist, making the protagonist's head even bigger!

The method of the cattle: there are still unmarried adult male ants in the nest, which can mate with the newborn females, so that the first eggs can be laid soon, and the new strength can be obtained a full month in advance!

This unmarried adult male ant is the protagonist himself...

The protagonist only feels that 10,000 grass and mud horses are roaring past in his heart, and he is powerless to complain in the face of the burning eyes of the male ants!
