Chapter 216: The Protagonist Is Attacked (1)

In the light-filled office, where the curtains are drawn, the protagonist is working on a shale desk.

In front of him was still a piece of grass paper, a plate of charcoal pencils, and from time to time the paper was smeared with symbols that other ants could not read, and every now and then he stopped to ponder for a while.

Not all ants can't read the numbers and Chinese characters written by the protagonist, such as the Divine Soldier Ant who acts as a Praetorian Guard around him, and the protagonist will teach them simple literacy and writing from time to time.

These Praetorian Guards, who have been studying by the protagonist's side for a while, will be sent out to become squad commanders of various legions in the future. These divine soldiers who are loyal to the protagonist are an important help for the protagonist to continue to regain control of the army, and there will be a bigger stage for this class to perform in the future, and the protagonist will not hesitate to teach them more things.

What's more, these divine soldier ants are all the daughters of the protagonist's ant body in blood!

At this time, "Tianxian" came in through the door, and she is now the only big worker ant in the Praetorian Guard, acting as the captain of the Praetorian Guard as a big worker ant.

The "Heavenly Immortal" respectfully touched the tentacles of the Divine Envoy King with his tentacles and passed on a message from the past.

"Let him in!"

Learns that there is a male ant who has something to report to him, and the protagonist agrees to let him in.

Although the Ant Union has now reformed its political system and established ten departments, it can still see many primitive legacies.

For example, this male ant did not report his matter to the congress or the congress delegates of his clan, nor to the scientific research department that should be in charge of this matter, but directly found the protagonist to report.

This would definitely destroy the hierarchy in the human world, but this kind of thing is very common in the ant world.

The king of the divine envoy is nominally the common leader of all the ants of the ant clan of the ant alliance country, and all the ants fight obey his commands, and naturally the protagonist has Yiwu who is in direct contact with all the ants.

Although the protagonist is trying to reform, reduce his burden through the bureaucratic system, and also improve the efficiency of the country's operation, today the protagonist did not drive away the male ant, not to mention that the other party's report still interests him.

The male ant cautiously enters through the doorway, and the protagonist glances at him, he has never seen this male ant, as long as it is an ant that has been touched by its antennae, he can recognize it.

The "Heavenly Immortal" checked the smell on the other party's body again, confirmed that it was his own national, and then let him approach the Divine Envoy King.

The male ant lowered his little head, and passed a packet of information back from his antennae, and then the antennae immediately parted and lay on the ground very respectfully.

In the packet was a small piece of news that the bellied ant hunting party had found a clump of locust eggs somewhere, with hundreds of eggs, and asked the king to move and inspect them.

The protagonist is not curious as to why the male ant does not report in person, but instead conveys a packet, the original author of which does not identify himself, and does not usually contain relevant footage like other packets.

It's just that this news has already made the protagonist very excited, and the information shows that the bellied ants have found a large mass of hundreds of locust eggs. So many locust eggs are enough to support the recent research of the scientific research team, and if all of them are hatched and tamed, it is enough to form many flying transport teams!

This discovery is very interesting for the transportation of the north and south coasts of the ant alliance.

The protagonist immediately asks the male ant to lead the way and go to the place where the incident occurred, and at the same time asks the "Immortals" to accompany a squad of Praetorian Guards to escort them. Book bar

The Praetorian Guard around the protagonist already has the scale of 4 squads, except for the captain who is a soldier ant "Tianxian", the others are all divine soldiers.

The 4 squads are in charge of the protagonist's guards, and the guards also learn from the Divine Envoy King. Only all squads will be on duty at the same time during wartime. This time, the place that the protagonist wants to inspect is near [Xinyang City], so there is only one Janissary team to protect it.

Stepping out of the anthill, leaving the city walls, and crossing the river from a high rope bridge over two shrubs on both sides of the canal, the protagonist and the Praetorian Guard, led by the male ants of the belly, make their way to the east-north.

The male ants of the bellied ants walked in front with more than a dozen worker ants of the bellied ants, and 2 worker ants were in the front position, constantly exploring the ground with their antennae, looking for pheromones that had been left behind to guide the way.

The male ant turned back frequently along the way, looking at the protagonist not far behind.

After walking for more than an hour, there were fewer and fewer ants in [Xinyangcheng] around him who were working and foraging, and they were also far away from the fixed ant path leading to other nests in [Xinyangcheng].

The protagonist is a little thirsty, but at this time, it is close to noon, there is no water nearby, and even the dew has dried up, so he can only endure it.

At this time, the protagonist remembers something and calls over a Praetorian Guard, asks her to return to the nest the same way, and tells the "Little Secretary II" that the Ministry of Scientific Research should send a group of stable ants over to carry the locust eggs found.

If the bellied ants are hairy, they will not be allowed to move, so as not to damage the precious eggs.

Although they followed the bellied ants all the way, the Praetorian Guards were well-trained, and they also left short-acting pheromones belonging to the big-headed ant clan along the way, and they didn't have to worry about the returning warriors not finding a home.

Moving on, I walked for more than half an hour, and it was almost 2 hours since I left [Xinyang City], and the protagonist was finally a little suspicious.

Do these belly-lifters come so far to forage for food?

The area is already deserted, and when you look up, you can see that there are weeds everywhere, even if they are new grasses that have just sprouted in the spring, they are all a few centimeters high, and the ants are in it, as if they were in a low grafted peach forest.

The protagonist asks the Praetorian Guards to chase after him, and asks the male ant how long he will have to go and where he is.

The male ant did not come back to report in person, and the Praetorian Guard brought back a message that the male ant said that it was a small-leaved boxwood not far ahead.

The protagonist climbs a grass, looks up into the distance, and sure enough, there is a dense small-leaved boxwood more than ten meters ahead, and the newly grown tender green leaves are lush, and this shrub is as eye-catching as a landmark in this open field.

With the goal in mind, the protagonist feels less thirsty and continues to follow the bellied ant. Twisting and turning around the weeds along the way, the shrubs got closer and closer.

When they get to the bottom of the boxwood, the protagonist sees that the branches of the lone shrub are hanging low, almost enveloping the ground nearby, and the lowest branches and leaves are almost crawling to the ground.

When a group of ants walked into the shade of the tree, they immediately felt that the light was much dimmer, as if they had walked into the ground.

I saw that the bellied ants in front of me suddenly rubbed their bodies together, making a special friction sound.

There was a sound in the trees, and two or three hundred bellied ants suddenly appeared on the branches of the trees above their heads, they had been well hidden, and they were completely unseen.

The protagonist is suddenly shocked! He saw...
