Banyan Banyan's betrayal makes the protagonist a little passive in a sense.

Originally, the protagonist's plan was to use the rope bridge under his control to use the "Waterfront City" and "Bridgehead" on both sides of the river as a base to isolate the communication on both sides of the river and drag the main force of the expeditionary force on the north bank of the river.

This plan is very feasible, although the "Waterfront City" is isolated on the south bank, but the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the land south of the wooden bridge is abandoned, the garrison corps dominated by the retired soldiers of the Divine Envoy King's legion should not have a problem holding the narrow bridge.

The "bridgehead" can be used as a safe rear to provide logistical support for the "waterfront city" that has lost food sources such as hunting grounds and fields. The Northern Expeditionary Army, which was kept in the dark, would serve as a peripheral garrison to defend the "bridgehead" from being attacked by the Paving Ant Barbarian Army.

The rope bridge is an important channel for cross-strait communication of news, and the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom can only communicate news through the rope bridge without flying knights. As long as the protagonist can hold the rope bridge, he can cut off the connection between "Qingqiu City" and the Northern Expeditionary Army, and even fake the holy decree.

However, this plan has a fork in the way at the beginning, the rope bridge breaks at the beginning of spring, and the protagonist originally wanted to repair the rope bridge, and a new replacement rope has even been made in "Dongyang Castle".

However, after learning of the Great Banyan mutiny, the protagonist can only postpone repairing the rope bridge.

On the one hand, Banyan had previously learned from the Flying Knight about the protagonist's break with the main nest, and he chose to fall to the main nest.

The "bridgehead" itself does not have too many elite troops, and the strength of the garrison corps is also weak, and there are many old troops in the legion who have been transferred from the "Waterfront City" with the Great Banyan.

The number of ants loyal to the protagonist in the other "Waterfront Cities" is very small, and there is no male ant command, and even if they can be contacted, the protagonist does not think that they can play a big role.

In anticipation that Banyan will soon be able to completely control the "bridgehead" and get in touch with the Northern Expeditionary Army, the protagonist is not sure that he will be able to retake the place with a small number of flying knights who can reach the "bridgehead".

After losing control of one side of the bridge, the protagonist naturally can't complete the repair of the bridge.

And at this time, even if the bridge is repaired, it can only make the "Linshui City" suffer from the enemy, but it is better to break the rope bridge, so even if the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Great Banyan Department have the heart to support the main nest "Qingqiu City", they can only look at the river and sigh - they have no ability to cross the river.

After weighing up, the protagonist feels that the territory on the north bank of the river can be abandoned for the time being, so he quickly puts the shadow of the betrayal of the big banyan behind him and begins to plan his next move.

The current situation is very favorable for the protagonist: the Northern Expeditionary Army, the most elite army under the control of the King's Council, is trapped on the other side of the river and poses no threat to the Divine Envoy King's army; Although the main nest "Qingqiu City" is the base camp of the hostile forces, the troops are empty, and just now another patchwork army has been wiped out outside the "Sitong City", and the remaining troops are both small in number and lack of actual combat, and the combat effectiveness is worrying.

The protagonist believes that he has the strength to defeat the Yellow Dragon in a short period of time and capture "Qingqiu City".

But the most troublesome thing is what happens later.

Even if the main nest "Qingqiu City" is controlled by himself, the secondary nests in various places are also controlled by male ants, and these male ants obviously have a hard time accepting the leadership of the protagonist from concept to tradition. In this regard, the Divine Envoy King may not be as appealing as the ancient Queen Ant Legacy faction, which has proven that they can compete for the allegiance of many males.

The protagonist worries that his main army, which is not very numerous, will be mired in a long war in the future, and that he will need to attack each side nest one by one. Even if these secondary nests can be conquered, the Divine Angel King Legion will inevitably suffer losses in successive battles.

The worst thing is that the protagonist does not have many male ants who can be alone and loyal enough to control so many secondary nests.

And the protagonist's current allies, the Queen Ant Legacy faction, are also a problem, they have a long-standing organization and have been able to lurk under the noses of the King's Council for many years. Now there are the eldest kings and others who control eight sub-nests in the south of the kingdom, and have a base area and a certain military strength.

The protagonist naturally can't tolerate that after controlling the big-headed ant kingdom, there is a force that he doesn't agree with and a country within a country, but in the case of his own lack of skills, it is not a good way to rashly force an ally into an enemy.

At this time, the protagonist feels the correctness of the so-called "war is a continuation of politics", even if he has the military power that can conquer everything, he can't do whatever he wants, and his military advantages are often influenced, contained and offset by some non-military factors.

Faced with the intertwined problems, the protagonist thinks about it all night before finally making up his mind!

- I'm the dividing line -

The next day, the protagonist gathers his subordinate males in the conference room of "Sitong City" and announces the decision of the army to march to the main nest "Qingqiu City".

Even though there had been a battle with the army to which the King's Council belonged, the males were still in a bit uproar about the decision.

After all, in all the memories and legends that have been passed down for hundreds of years, there has been no precedent for the Vice-Nest army to march to the capital. In the past, the secondary nest army would only send troops to join the main nest's army when the main nest was recruited, and participate in the war as a subordinate army.

This time, one of the secondary nests had to send an army to attack the main nest, which had to make most of the males feel broken.

But now the prestige of the protagonist, and the example of killing chickens and monkeys a while ago, make the subordinate male ants dare not disobey him. In particular, the young males of the new generation who have just been replenished into the army, under the education of the protagonist who has been committed to "de-nesting" for two years, do not have much reverence for the King's Conference, and they enthusiastically support the protagonist who has been taught to be the only object of allegiance since adulthood, and support his decision.

This is the power base of the future that the protagonist has created, and his power will come not only from the title of Divine King, the majesty of the divine decree, and his own prestige and cruelty, but also from a group of loyal male subordinates.

The Divine Envoy King Legion in the "Sitong City" was well-trained and had been waiting for him, and after receiving the order, the troops immediately drove out of the lair to assemble.

Two hours later, the elite six Divine Envoy King legions formed a long dragon in a linear marching line, heading towards a distant target on the newly green land at the beginning of spring.

This army has a single leader, high morale, and unparalleled combat effectiveness.

The protagonist stands on a tall blade of grass, looking at the army he has built under his feet, and feels that there is nothing in the world that can stop him, and he has finally achieved the step that a qualified traverser must take!
