Chapter 111: The True Lord's Lair (2)
Although the protagonist executes the hapless messenger in a ruthless manner, there is no need to worry about the problem of the oldest king and the "real master's nest" for the time being.
However, there is always no hiding from what should come.
No, not long after the battle in the southern hills, the protagonist received a report again: "Dongyang City" ushered in two more envoys of the oldest king.
As the war was raging in the southern hills at the time, the protagonist temporarily ignored the envoy and let Rambo Fei put them under house arrest.
However, the protagonist can't put her aside indefinitely, and she still has to be seen.
And this time, the protagonist obviously can't repeat the old trick, killing the envoy and throwing the body, disguised as an accident.
The most old Wang sent two envoys in one go this time, and the protagonist guessed that they also had double insurance intentions, even if one messenger had an accident on the way, the other messenger could complete the task. And the probability of two messengers having an accident at the same time is too low, if this situation really happens, plus the messenger who died before, the ghost can guess the cat.
After making a decision and preparation, the protagonist still finds a time to meet the two envoys in "Dongyang City".
In the conference room, the protagonist retreats left and right, leaving only Mulan to lead a few loyal guards to escort them.
The first envoy is the first to send a packet to the protagonist.
The content of this message packet is similar to that brought by the messenger last time, which is also the greeting from the oldest king to the king of the gods, and then closes it to show that the old king and the king of the gods have been friendly for generations, and they are both noble kings who serve the gods, so they should cooperate together. Finally, there is a request for food aid and a hope that God will make the king obey the command of the "true Lord's nest."
For these requests, the protagonist is unimpressed.
What kind of friendship and cooperation, in the eyes of the protagonist, is nothing more than interests.
Now that the "real main nest" wants to ask for help, who knows if they also see themselves as heretics like other male ants.
Moreover, the protagonist is now vigorously supporting the Northern Expeditionary Force of the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom to fight against the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom on the north bank of the Great River in order to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
And the strength of the big-headed ant kingdom itself is far inferior to that of the paving ant barbarian country, and a slight mistake will ruin the protagonist's entire plan.
At this time, the protagonist naturally doesn't want a split or even a civil war to break out within the big-headed ant kingdom and lose national strength in vain.
And the queen ant inheritance, the oldest king and the "real main nest" are undoubtedly a bombshell inside the big-headed ant kingdom, once detonated, the big-headed ant kingdom will immediately fall into the abyss of civil war.
After all, the political demands of the most old Wang faction are simply against the entire male ant class, and the male ant class is the ruling class that controls all aspects of the entire big-headed ant kingdom.
On this kind of issue related to core interests, it is impossible for the ant class to back down half a step, only war can determine the future of both sides, and in the end, only one side will stand.
Therefore, judging from the current interests, the protagonist naturally doesn't want the most old Wang faction to come out and make trouble now.
And if the protagonist refuses to help, it will be winter soon, and the old Wang faction, who is short of food, may not dare to take risks and plunder food by provoking a civil war.
The Queen's Legacy is deeply entrenched, and the protagonist believes that they have secret supporters and followers in the main nest and each secondary nest, so that they can lie dormant for years in the main nest without being discovered, and quickly gain the allegiance of a group of secondary nests in just a few months after the "real main nest" is established.
With their ability, they must also know that the main force of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom Army is now trapped on the north bank of the Great River, and the territory is extremely empty.
If it weren't for the fact that the "real Lord's Nest" side was also short of troops and supplies, now would be the perfect time for them to use force to implement their political ideas.
But the question of survival was obviously more important, and once the old king's faction found themselves unable to survive the harsh winter, there was nothing to stop them from plundering the means of subsistence by force.
Therefore, the protagonist has already made up his mind before meeting with the envoy.
He was going to send some supplies to the eldest king, but the quantity was not much, probably barely enough for five hundred ants to live until the beginning of spring next year.
Such a quantity of supplies is not much pressure on the protagonist's territory, and at the same time, this batch of food can help the "real main nest" tide over the difficulties, preventing them from taking risks to start a civil war in advance, and such a scarce grain will not cause tigers to suffer, so that the strength of the "real main nest" will be greatly increased.
The protagonist informs the first envoy of his proposal, which is obviously a little embarrassed, after all, the amount of aid is too far from the old king's explanation and the envoy's intended goal.
However, the envoy was only a worker ant, and she had no authority to refuse or negotiate. As a result, the envoy said that he would return to report the protagonist's decision to the queen ant and the eldest king.
The Envoy then asks the protagonist about their allegiance to the "true Lord's Lair".
This protagonist naturally can't agree, but he doesn't want to tear his face with the oldest Wang faction.
In the protagonist's vision, when the Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom and the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom are both defeated, he will take advantage of the situation to bring the territory of the Big-Headed Ant Kingdom into rule.
At that time, the most old Wang faction can be used as a sharp knife to bleed the dying big-headed ant kingdom at the end to reduce the difficulty of their own strategy.
So, the protagonist simply plays Tai Chi, a long and human character with no real content, and his message is passed into the envoy's mind.
The envoy was instantly dizzy, the brain circuits of human beings for thousands of years, and the profound routines of Chinese language and culture, were not something that this poor messenger could understand.
For the first time in the messenger's mind, he felt inferior to himself because of his lack of intelligence—the Divine Messenger King was so powerful, why did I understand every word of information he said, but I just didn't understand what it meant when combined?
The protagonist ignores the first envoy, her head is already dizzy, but she is still able to remember every piece of information that the protagonist transmits, and then go back to the original and pass it to the eldest king.
As for the smarter old Wang, can he break through the ant's straightforward thinking habits, straighten out the protagonist's information, and then find the meaning that does not exist?
The envoy doesn't care, and neither does the protagonist.
After sending the first envoy, the second envoy steps forward and asks to speak with the protagonist.
This surprises the protagonist, who previously thought that the reason why he sent two couriers was for double insurance, and that the two couriers brought the same information.
Now it seems that the protagonist guessed wrong, and the second courier apparently has another task and needs to communicate with the protagonist alone.
As a result, the protagonist receives the second envoy's packet full of doubts.
