Chapter 168: Colonization Plan
After the end of the Ancient God Inheritance Ant Clan Conference, among the representatives of the ant clan of each civilization, the protagonist was the last to leave [Sacred Tree City].
Anyway, his house was the closest, and the leaf-cutting ants had something to look for, so he didn't rush back.
The leaf cutter ant queens had already held a meeting before to unify their thoughts, sent six queens as representatives and other representatives left, and pulled the protagonist to have a short meeting alone.
The topic of this meeting is about the red fire ant country. The Leafcutter Ant Kingdom is currently fighting the Red Fire Ant Country, and they believe that the Red Fire Ant Kingdom is a common enemy of themselves and the Divine Envoy King's legion, so they want to discuss with the protagonist how to fight together.
They didn't know that the Divine Envoy King Legion had nominally become a vassal of the Red Fire Ant Country for a long time, and there was no military threat from the Red Fire Ant Country for the time being.
If they knew, it is estimated that they should be saddened by the degeneration of a civilized ant tribe, and they have become vassals of the barbarian ant tribe, and it is estimated that this meeting will not be able to go on.
The protagonist conceals this, saying that the Divine Envoy King Legion and the Red Fire Ant Nation are still fighting, but the Divine Envoy King Legion is not in a very good situation and has no spare strength to launch a counterattack, so he refuses the request of the Leaf Cutting Ant Nation to immediately cooperate in the battle, but says that they will join forces in the future.
Now the Leaf Cutting Ant Army has indeed temporarily suppressed the Red Fire Ant Army and has the upper hand. But judging from last year's example, once the leaf-cutting ant army leaves the forest, its combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, and the protagonist is not optimistic that they will be able to defeat the red fire ant country with strong potential this year, and the two sides are estimated to be a tug-of-war situation.
What's more, there is also a powerful suzerainty behind the Red Fire Ant Country, which is easy to beat the small ones and lead out the old ones.
Although he is also a civilized ant clan, after understanding the mission of the civilized ant clan, the protagonist has a sense of identity with these heavenly allies, but he will not easily risk his basic plate.
The protagonist promises to supply the Leaf Cutting Ant Kingdom with strategic materials other than honeydew and crow honey, including stone tools, pottery, etc. Stone weapons can increase the power of the Leaf Cutter Warrior, helping them to have an advantage in the war against the Red Fire Ant Army. Pottery is useful for grain storage.
The Leafcutter Ant Army is also interested in the sharp iron weapons of the Divine Envoy King's Legion, but the protagonist has no plans to sell them for the time being. The Divine Envoy King's army is also expanding, and with the need to cast cannons, the current iron production is still insufficient for self-use!
Although the Leaf Cutting Ant Nation failed to get the promise of the Divine Envoy King's Legion to jointly carry out military operations, they felt that the Divine Envoy King's Legion had pinned down some of the enemy forces and could provide a lot of useful supplies, and they were generally satisfied.
In the end, the Leafcutter Ant Kingdom sent the protagonist 2 Star Sky Beetles and 6 small leafcutter ants, and the protagonist returned home with a full load.

Back in [Xinyang City], the protagonist held a meeting and summoned his male ants, large worker ants, divine soldier ants and other high-level officials.
He informed the content of this meeting, telling everyone that his clan is a clan with a divine inheritance, so that his subordinates are unaware.
The protagonist once again reminds everyone that their mission is to "save the world", and everyone must contribute to this cause.
In this meeting, the protagonist is mainly to unify the thoughts of his subordinates.
During the period of the homeland, the army of the god envoy Wang suffered from ideological confusion, and some of the protagonist's advanced ideas were not understood and supported by some conservative and traditional subordinates such as Fly Eagle and Big Banyan, resulting in rebellion, yang and yin violations.
This time, the protagonist uses the name of God, with the endorsement and support of his allies, hoping to unify the thoughts and goals of his subordinates, so that he can truly enforce orders and prohibitions.
Fortunately, the current internal situation of the Divine Envoy King's Legion is simpler than that of the homeland period, and there are very few males who have had experience in their homeland, and most of the new generation of males have grown up in this new continent, instilling the concept of the Divine Envoy King's omniscience and omnipotence since childhood, and there are no bad habits of old-school male ants.
In addition, there is no opposition from the old-school male ants, and the protagonist also successfully supports the Shengong ant and Shenbing ant class to contain the male ants.
Although the military power of the current Divine Envoy King Legion is still mainly controlled by male ants, the Divine Soldier Ants also have a special unit, which has torn a hole in China from the strict control of military power by male ants. In terms of scientific research and administration, the Shengong ant and the large worker ant have competed with the male ants, and even surpassed them.
A mature organization must have several factions that benignly restrain each other in order to last for a long time, and the Divine Envoy King Legion has finally achieved this after years of development.
The most important thing is the authority of the king himself, and now there is no other ant that can shake it. The institutions that could limit the power of the Divine Envoy King in the era of the Old Big-Headed Ant Kingdom, such as the Council of Great Kings and the Most Elder King, have either existed in name only, or have simply not set up this position!
The protagonist's control of the Legion of the Divine Envoy King has never been so tight, so like an arm, he is the legion, and the legion is him.

The protagonist assigns several tasks during the meeting, including preparing trade supplies that can be traded as soon as the caravans of the Maolin Ant and Bullet Ant Clan arrive.
Most importantly, the protagonist begins to arrange the work of colonizing and developing the south bank of the Qing River.
One of the main reasons why the protagonist did not agree to cooperate with the Leaf Cutting Ant Army to deal with the Red Fire Ant Army for the time being is that the Divine Envoy King's Legion currently has a small territory and lacks depth and a safe rear.
Although some of the territories will be in danger after the completion of the canal project, such territories will only be a quarter of the total area of the current territories.
However, there is a large amount of unexplored land on the south bank of the Qing River, and the indigenous ants are also weak, and there is the cover of the Qinghe moat, which is the most ideal rear.
After obtaining the Star Sky Bull and about to obtain giant dragonflies, flying locusts and other beasts through trade, the Divine Envoy King Legion already has the ability to cross the Qinghe River to open up colonies.
The protagonist specially set up a leading group to develop the south bank of the Qing River, and he personally took charge, with Jia Niu, Xiao Mi II, Tianxian and some other male ants, divine soldier ants, and divine workers participating in it, which basically involved all kinds of ant talents needed to develop new territories.
The protagonist plans to deploy 3 legions on the south bank of the Qing River in advance, temporarily control the river bank opposite [Xinyang City], establish a base, and then slowly expand.
He demanded the establishment of two air transport teams, which required at least 100 beasts, enough to undertake the daily transportation tasks on both sides of the Qing River.
With so many beasts, it is not realistic to rely on trade alone, so the research team of Little Secret II must learn how to domesticate giant dragonflies and star bulls as soon as possible from the beasts and pilots who come from trade.
The plan to colonize the south bank of the Qing River has become the current national policy after the tone was set at this meeting, and even the canal project, which has already been more than half completed, needs to make way for this national policy and give priority to the colonial development of the resources on the south bank of the Qing River.
