Chapter 18: The Queen's Visit (1)

This time, the protagonist went to [Stone Pillar City] with a light car, only taking the Praetorian Guard team, riding Tempeste, all the way forward quickly, and arrived at the destination two days later.

The last time the protagonist was here, it was the [real main nest] belonging to the Queen Ant Legacy faction. At that time, the queen ant inheritance faction had few ant mouths and weak strength, and even the protagonist didn't expect that the other party would be able to take advantage of the chaos within the kingdom after the Divine Envoy King Legion raided the main nest [Qingqiu City], and it grew rapidly, and became the opponent of the Divine Envoy King Legion.

However, this opponent also collapsed just as quickly under the containment and suppression of the Divine Envoy King's legion. Today, the huge stone pillars on the [Stone Pillar City] lair that have been eroded by the wind and rain are still standing, but the forces of the Queen Ant Inheritance faction living in it have been blown away by the rain and wind, and people can't help but feel a sense of "things are not people".

The last time the protagonist came here, because he was still concerned about security, he still brought a large army here, and although he didn't directly enter [Stone Pillar City], he was stationed nearby to form a deterrent.

This time, there are no more forces that need to be drewn, and the Big-headed Ant Remnant is obviously also very wise, and will not have any wrong thoughts about a powerful neighbor, so the protagonist reduces the security force accompanying him to a minimum.

And [Stone Pillar City], as a frontier lair, also has a strong garrison, which is where the protagonist's confidence lies.

What's more, although the protagonist hasn't been in battle in person for a long time, the power of "Heavenly God Descending to Earth" is still the same as it was back then, and even there is progress in strength, and he is a BUG-like existence in small-scale battles.

After arriving at [Stone Pillar City] and resting for a while, the protagonist receives the messenger of the Big-headed Ant Relic Clan.

The messenger is an ordinary big-headed ant soldier ant, and she is accompanied by ten soldier ants and worker ants, these are her guards, after all, it is too dangerous for a single ant to move in the wild, and the area around [Stone Pillar City] is still a wilderness, and there are many fierce insects. But after huddling, few insects will want to challenge the ants without their own strength.

The messenger of the Big-Headed Ant Remnant sent a message packet from the Queen of the Big-Headed Ant Remnant: The other party wants to meet with the Great Divine Envoy King, and the location is here [Stone Pillar City].

In addition, there is no other information, so that the protagonist has no way to figure out the other party's intentions.

The last meeting between the protagonist and the queen of the big-headed ant remnant clan was also here, and the location has not changed, but the international situation has changed dramatically.

The protagonist thinks for a moment and agrees, and the messenger immediately leaves and hurries back to his home.

The protagonist reports an improvisation.,Anyway, at the moment, he has an advantage.,Let's see what the other party thinks.。

- I'm the dividing line -

The protagonist waited for two more days in [Stone Pillar City], and it wasn't until the afternoon of April 1 that the other party came.

The queen of the Big-headed Ant Remnant still appears in the same way as the previous one, starting with a giant unicorn slowly emerging from the gentle slope in front of the nest, with a pavilion of wood, fiber, and unknown materials on its back, firmly tied to its carapace.

There are two riders on the head of the unicorn, and they skillfully control the giant unicorn into the hill through the reins, and flexibly adjust the direction.

In the pavilion on the back of the unicorn fairy, there is the queen of the big-headed ant remnants. Her outfit remained the same, her antennae wrapped around her antennae were woven into a headdress made of small dried flowers, worn like a laurel wreath, and her body was covered in a thin, almost transparent fabric.

Behind the queen in a hat and a garment were two tall and burly warriors, and behind the beetle, fifty warriors, both soldier ants and worker ants, all armed with stonks made of sharp flint flakes on their large jaws.

The protagonist earlier equips the Divine Envoy King warrior with a stone-jawed knife, which is also influenced by the Big-headed Ant Remnant. However, now, the stone jaw knife has been basically eliminated, and only a small number of remote nests lack supplies and will continue to be used.

All the Divine Envoy King warriors and many ordinary ants have already used the copper jaw knife with a cast shape and a sharper fit.

The Praetorian Guard soldiers who greet the visitors behind the protagonist are all equipped with bronze jaw knives, which emit a metallic glow in the sunlight.

However, the protagonist has not put on a dress like the other party's queen until now. The protagonist himself is also a character who is not too unexpected, except for wearing some warm clothes when going out in winter, he has become accustomed to the "naked" lifestyle of most ants.

This time I saw the queen of the big-headed ant remnant clan again, and the protagonist felt that it was quite necessary to have a formal outfit, at least, the protagonist felt that the other queen might look down on him a little less.

From the last meeting, the protagonist learns that the noble ants in the other country wear costumes, which are a symbol of status and upbringing. It is estimated that now the other party sees himself as if he were looking at a naked barbarian. Perhaps the last time we met, the Queen's fleeting sense of loss was because she wore no clothes, and she was regarded as a "barbarian" with no hope for the future.

However, in the formal exchange this time, the message exchanged by the queen did not contain a trace of contempt or other negative emotions, and it was obvious that the emotions were very well controlled.

The queen still carries the fragrance that symbolizes nobility and elegance, but now the protagonist has the powerful army of the god envoy king and the vast territory as the backing, and is more confident.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the protagonist and the queen move to the conference room for a one-on-one exchange.

The last time the protagonist met with the queen, there was also the oldest king in attendance, but now the oldest king has been blown away by the rain and wind of the queen inheritance faction.

The protagonist talks to the queen of the big-headed ant remnant clan with a twelve-point spirit, you know, communicating with a civilized race is not the same as communicating with the males of the original big-headed ant kingdom.

One of the side effects of civilization is that it loses its simplicity, and intelligent beings will have all kinds of different thoughts, such as deceit. In the kingdom of big-headed ants, ants hardly lie. But as far as the protagonist knows, during the negotiation between the messenger sent by the oldest king and the big-headed ant remnant, he was tricked into revealing the hole cards of the queen ant's inheritance faction at that time, which made the oldest king very angry afterwards and impressed the protagonist.

This is the advanced nature of civilized races to a certain extent, and it also reflects their more developed intelligence and the ability to "deceive" this active consciousness, which is very different from the instinct of ants.

After taking her seat, the queen's tentacles drooped and the first message was delivered through the cobblestones on the ground, congratulating the gods on making the king ruler of the vast realm on the south bank of the river.
