The mission to the territory of the leafcutter ant, the protagonist finally chooses a god ant as the leader.

The mission has the task of negotiating, and must have a leader who is smart enough to be competent, and ordinary worker ants or soldier ants cannot act as a leader, at best as a messenger to convey information packets.

And the "old heart" also introduced that there are diplomatic rules of this place in this place.

If we talk about the homeland of the Legion of the Divine King, the rule of diplomacy is that there is no peace between the aliens. The international situation in this world is more complicated, and it has also made the ants explore some diplomatic options in addition to war.

For example, the suzerainty and the vassal state are a win-win choice in addition to life and death. Overlords can obtain supplies from other ants that they cannot produce on their own, as well as slaves. And the vassal states were saved from the complete destruction of the more powerful alien races.

The "old heart" suggested that if this formal contact only sent worker ants or soldier ants, it would only be a messenger to pass the message, and only the suzerain's vassals would dare to do so. The mission should be more formal.

The protagonist doesn't want to mess up the negotiation with the leaf-cutting ants, he wants to send a male ant to be the team leader, but the number of male ants in [Xinyang City] is not much, and now that he has caught up with the big expansion of the army, even the unmarried male ants have been counted into the officer establishment, and the protagonist can't spare male ants to join the mission.

The only ones left who are capable of diplomatic missions are the Divine Soldier Ants, the Divine Worker Ants, and the Great Worker Ants. [Xinyangcheng] did not breed a few large worker ants, but there were a lot of divine soldier ants and divine worker ants. Among them, the Divine Soldier Ant also has a military mission, and the protagonist can only draw a Divine Ant from the scientific research group of the "Little Secretary III" in the end to complete the formation of the mission.

On March 23rd, the mission of the Divine Envoy King's legion officially set out, and a god worker ant with 20 worker ants, carrying a concentrated honeydew from a snail shell and a small clay pot of crow honey, escorted by 10 soldier ants equipped with gravel jaw knives, went to the territory of the leaf-cutting ants.

In the air, the three Flying Knights will always follow, keeping a close eye on the situation of the mission. If the leaf-cutting ants refuse to make contact, or even kill the mission, the protagonist is also mentally prepared to lose the ants and supplies.

- I'm the dividing line -

After seeing off the mission, the protagonist returns to the lair and begins to preside over a wedding ceremony.

This is the first wedding flight ceremony of the year for the Divine Envoy King Legion.

In the past, the marriage and flight ceremony of the old big-headed ant kingdom had a fixed time, and the competition was cruel, and there were many male ant death ceremonies every year.

It is the protagonist who changes the wedding flight ceremony so that it is only ceremonial, and no longer a bloodthirsty fight. Moreover, the time of the wedding ceremony is no longer fixed, and it can be held at any time as long as necessary.

In the second half of last year, the protagonist organized a wedding ceremony, and [Xinyangcheng] ushered in a new batch of adult male ants and queens, and was also able to breed ordinary soldier ants and worker ants.

Otherwise, the original only queen ant can only give birth to Divine Soldier Ants and Divine Worker Ants.

The protagonist has already discovered that the reason for the long breeding cycle of the Divine Ant and Business may be that they need to take in more nutrients before pupating. If the larvae are always provided with high-grade food rich in energy, protein and other nutrients, the cultivation cycle of the Divine Ant and the Divine Ant can be shortened considerably.

However, [Xinyang City] has limited supplies, and the protagonist can't afford to support too many Divine Ant and Divine Worker Ants, after all, they also have the right to get a high-grade food every day when they become adults.

Moreover, the Divine Soldier Ant and the Divine Worker Ant cannot do the foraging work of ordinary occupational ants, which is too wasteful, and the Divine Envoy King Legion still needs a large number of ordinary occupational ants to provide food and supplies.

Last year's wedding ceremony allowed the Divine Envoy King Legion to finally take root in this land and have the ability to reproduce normally.

This year's wedding ceremony was originally planned to be held at a later date. However, the imminent war with the Red Fire Ant Country forces the protagonist to expand his army, and after the expansion, there is a gap in a large number of squad commanders in the legion, and this group of male ants who have broken the chrysalis and are not yet married and fly are needed to come up.

After these males broke the pupa and were led by several old males who had retired due to disability, they learned the necessary military knowledge, and the teaching was basically completed at this time, and the early marriage and flight would not affect their command ability.

Today is the day when the Divine Legion of the King Legion will marry and fly in advance, not only the big-headed ants, but also the young male and female ants of the four vassal ant clans.

The young male and female ants of all ethnic groups who participated in the wedding flight had already been matched up in a team, and they only had to fly back a few symbolically laps in the air, and then they were bitten off their wings and sent to the underground dormitory.

From then on, these young females will become queens, and some of them will be the last time they see the blue sky and white clouds, and they may never leave the underground dormitory for the rest of their lives. The males, on the other hand, devote themselves to a broader career after the coming-of-age ceremony.

Perhaps from a human point of view, such a fate would be unfair to the queen ant, but the protagonist has adapted to the rules of the ant world.

The queens themselves have no complaints, and it is fair that they pay the price of breeding offspring and losing their freedom in exchange for adequate food and safe shelter.

The eldest king of the queen inheritance faction who rebelled from the old big-headed ant kingdom did not change the main responsibilities and living environment of the queen ant in their own territory, but only let these queen ants shoulder some major decision-making responsibilities at the same time.

But the protagonist is not very optimistic about how much energy the queen ant has to participate in politics in addition to giving birth almost all the time, and how many correct decisions they can make with their experience of staying at home.

During the wedding ceremony, the protagonists took turns to go to the ceremony sites of different races, and gave all the young male and female ants participating in the wedding flight antennae one by one to express simple blessings.

This was an opportunity for the king to exert influence among the ruling classes of the various tribes. It is also a necessary means for the king to unite a multi-ant nation composed of ants of different races.

Looking at the young male and female ants flying in the sky and enjoying the freedom of flying, the protagonist feels a pang of envy - he has had such wings before!

And now, he has to use his mount to fly the knight, although he also soars in the blue sky, but it always feels different.

The wedding ceremony ends quickly, and the young males and females can't enjoy the freedom to fly that the protagonists envy for too long, and they can't grab their objects in place as unscrupulously as their ancestors did.

Now, they have to return to the starting point, find the object they have assigned in advance, and go to the small newly built dormitory deep underground to complete the final step of the ritual.

Tomorrow, the males who participated in the ceremony will report to the unit and serve as the team commander. Many of them will never see their object of the night again.
