Chapter 108 Public Welfare Organizations
It's...
All the key clues are connected together, like a key, and in the protagonist's mind, a memory that seems to be sealed is suddenly opened.
Memories pass through layers of fog and go back to the life before the time travel.
Before the protagonist crosses, there is a huge public welfare organization in the human world.
This institution has a history of hundreds of years, and it is said that it was engaged in the financial industry in its early years. However, at a time when the world's environmental problems are becoming increasingly prominent and even directly threaten the survival of human beings, this organization has gradually transformed into a non-profit organization with afforestation as its main business.
A public benefit organization, but not a non-profit organization. At a time when planting trees was more profitable than finance, the charity had hundreds of thousands of employees and was owned by the richest man in the world.
And it seems that the protagonist himself is also inextricably linked to this institution, but he can't remember what the specific connection is, as if the key to this memory seal has not been obtained.
And this public welfare organization is called "Ant Grove"!
The institutional symbol of the "Ant Grove" is the "rune" of the Leaf Cutting Ant Country, and the two are exactly the same. It's just that the logo of the "Ant Grove" is turquoise, while the "rune" of the Leaf Cutting Ant Country is drawn with hematite, but it is red.
The "magic rune" of the leaf-cutting ant country is actually the symbol of a large institution in the protagonist's previous life!
It turns out that this ant world seems to have some connection with my original world!
Although the protagonist discovered that there are relics of the human world in this ant world a long time ago, he is not completely sure whether the current world is in the same timeline as his original world.
Among the countless parallel worlds of infinite possibilities, there may also be worlds where there are human beings, and then human beings perished, and even life forms higher than insects perished, and then the ant civilization appeared, which is also a possibility of the truth of this world.
But now, when I think of the similarity between "Ant Grove" and "Rune", the connection between the name "Ant Grove" and ant civilization and the tree-planting behavior of leaf-cutting ants, all this is difficult to convince the protagonist if it is summed up only by coincidence.
The protagonist intuitively feels that the era he is in now may be after he has traveled through the previous era. In other words, the protagonist travels to the future - a future where human civilization is extinct and only a little remains remain, and an ant civilization is emerging!
Although he is generally clear about the era he lives in, the protagonist does not feel much emotion and even panic because of this.
In the first year of crossing, the protagonist realizes that he can't become a human again, and he can't go back to the past. Now he has lived as an ant for six years, and he is used to this body, this world.
Rather than a plan to go back to the past, perhaps in vain, the protagonist is more concerned with how to keep the legion of the Divine King's alive and strong. As an ant with a human soul, the protagonist is curious about the truth about the demise of human civilization at most, even if this truth is of no use to the Divine Envoy King Legion!
- I'm the dividing line -
The Leaf Cutter Army and the Red Fire Ant Army continue to tug at each other around several nests on the border.
The Red Fire Ant Army seems unwilling to allow leafcutter ants to occupy a few nests under their noses, plant saplings, and repeatedly launch counterattacks of varying scales. The Leafcutter Ant Army has also amassed a huge military force to defend the new territory that has not yet become a forest.
Both sides are doing their best to increase their troops, and the war on both sides seems to have no end in sight.
This is the perfect time for the Divine Legion to grow, and with new sub-nests being established, new territories being brought under control, and new ant mouths being added, the Legion of the Divine Envoy is rapidly recovering and quickly becoming more powerful than it was before the April Fool's Day War.
When the Legion of the Divine King has 11 full legions, the protagonist has even greater ambitions.
At this time, there was no land left near [Xinyang City] to expand, and the Divine Envoy King Legion needed to establish the next direction of development.
The territory of the Divine Envoy King's legion is the wide Qinghe River to the south, a large barren beach with almost no grass to the east, the Red Fire Ant Country to the north, and the Leafcutter Ant Country to the west.
The tidal flats to the east are too barren with pebbles and rivers to the south, neither of which is possible for territorial expansion.
If the Divine Envoy King Legion wants to continue to expand, it can only target one of the two countries: the Red Fire Ant Country and the Leaf Cutting Ant Country.
Although the Leaf Cutting Ant Kingdom is arrogant, it currently has a good relationship with the Divine Envoy King Legion, and also holds the hematite that is very important to the Divine Envoy King Legion, and the trade between the two sides is also prosperous. So the protagonist has no idea about the Leaf Cutting Ant Kingdom for the time being.
And the Red Fire Ant Kingdom and the Divine Envoy King Legion have already fought each other, and once the Red Fire Ant Army ends the war with the Leafcutter Ant Army, it will inevitably turn back against the Divine Envoy King Legion.
The protagonist has a plan in his heart to take advantage of the fact that the Red Fire Ant Army has no time to take care of others, and launch a retaliatory military operation to weaken the war strength of the Red Fire Ant Country.
This time, the protagonist does not plan to act in conjunction with the Leafcutter Ant Army, after the failure of the "Little Flower" mission last time, the protagonist has understood that the Leafcutter Ant Country is too arrogant, and if they don't even accept the vassal ant clan, you will know that it is stubborn.
Instead of begging to come to the door and be rejected, it is better to take advantage of the general trend of the leaf-cutting ant army to approach the territory of the Red Fire Ant Country, and act alone to obtain a satisfactory result.
After the Flying Knights repeatedly scout, and the protagonist repeatedly understands the "old heart" who is familiar with the domestic situation of the red fire ants, the protagonist determines the goal of the military operation.
The forest ant clan is the largest vassal ant clan of the Red Fire Ant Country, and the forest ant warriors provided by the Forest Ant Country are also the most powerful arm of the Red Fire Ant Army.
The forest where the forest ant country lives is not far to the northeast of the Golden Beach Forest. In the country of red fire ants, there are currently queen slaves of various races, but there is no queen ant of forest ants, if the forest ant family can be eliminated, it will cause a huge blow to the red fire ant country, and its forest warfare ability will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, compared to the native land where the Red Fire Ant Country still has many troops stationed, the defense force of the Forest Ant Country is obviously much weaker.
Persimmons, pick soft pinch!
The flying knights reconnoitred repeatedly, and found that the elite of the forest ant country had long been evacuated by the suzerain.
First, 40,000 forest ant warriors were killed in the defeat of the woods, and in the subsequent battle, all the more than 10,000 forest ant warriors who took care of the last house were withdrawn. At present, in the country of forest ants, there are very few forest ants that come out to forage every day.
This is a great opportunity, the new batch of warriors of the forest ants has not yet hatched, and now is the time when they are at their weakest.
The protagonist made a quick decision, and immediately formed an expeditionary force composed of 6 legions, led by himself, and first settled in [Golden Beach City], and after a short rest, he immediately sent troops north.
On May 20th, the battle of the Divine Envoy King's Legion to raid the Forest Ant Kingdom began.
