First of all, I am on a business trip today and tomorrow, and I may not be able to guarantee two watches, so I will write when I am free!

Why do other people have so many manuscripts, but I don't have a single manuscript, I envy, otherwise I don't have to ask for leave every day!

- I'm the dividing line -

The mysterious ants in the north and the parasitic ants in the south, two types of ants that do not exist in the protagonist's previous cognition, both have many mysteries to solve, and they are also listed as the biggest threat to the Divine Envoy King's legion for a period of time in the future.

The good news is that both have significant weaknesses.

The territory of the mysterious ants to the north is separated from the territory of the Legion of the Divine Envoy by the Great River, so that the Legion of the Divine Envoy does not have to face its threat. According to the most pessimistic estimates, the enemy can only cross the ice in winter to threaten the Divine Envoy King Legion, and can only dispatch small mysterious ants whose combat effectiveness and organization are comparable to or even slightly lower than that of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army, so that the threat is greatly reduced.

Although parasitic ants are also expanding rapidly, there are also a large number of indigenous scythe-hunting ant tribes in front of them, and parasitic ants, like ordinary ants, cannot go out to fight at all in winter, and only need to be wary of three months a year.

In fact, because parasites are fungi, they are more sensitive to changes in temperature than ordinary ants. In late autumn, these parasitic ants are all gone, giving the indigenous sickle-hunting ant tribe who have been tired of fighting precious time to stock up on winter food.

Otherwise, if this consumption continues, the indigenous scythe-hunting and fierce ant tribes that share the burden will be wiped out in the winter due to lack of food, even if they are not destroyed in the battle. The more than one month that the parasitic ants hide in advance is the busiest hunting season for the sickle ants.

Not long after the protagonist moved to [Waterfront City], a strong cold wave patronized the place, and the basins on both sides of the river ushered in the first snowflakes, although the surface of the river is still flowing by inertia, but the water surface has shrunk significantly, the current has slowed down, and obvious ice cubes appear in the river.

The flying knights are no longer able to go out, and the protagonist himself climbs to the northernmost branch of the big banyan tree at noon every day when the weather is good and sunny, and looks north. Beside him, the wreckage of a broken rope bridge swayed in the cold wind.

The weather is getting cold day after day, the grass and trees are rapidly withering and losing their color, the ice on the river is gradually moving closer to the middle from the two banks, and the hungriest insects no longer appear, I don't know whether they are frozen to death or dormant underground.

The protagonist looks north day after day, but never sees the mysterious ant.

They did not attack the river, did not know where to scourge. However, the protagonist should not take it lightly, and with the river completely frozen in, the enemy only needs to occupy a solid starting base on the north bank of the river, and the next day they can attack directly under the [Waterfront City].

In the winter, the protagonist doesn't have much to do, and in the boring days waiting for the enemy, he will also think about the next direction of the Divine Envoy King's legion.

The protagonist's goal is to unify the two sides of the Great River, and then head upstream to find the land where the Big-headed Ant Relic once lived, where the civilization is more developed and can allow the Divine Envoy King's legion to learn more beneficial techniques.

After that, how the Divine Envoy King's legion will develop, the protagonist himself has not thought about it. Perhaps for a leader, this lack of vision is said to be a good leader who can see a hundred years from now. But the protagonist is originally chasing ducks to the shelves, and he has no experience that can tell him how to be a good leader of a group of ants.

The protagonist's initial desire is to survive, but the cruelty of the ant world far exceeds the darkest historical period of the human world, where the individual must rely on the collective, and if the collective fails, the individual is basically a dead end.

It is precisely for self-preservation that the protagonist little by little creates a completely self-owned, unconditional obedience to his own army of divine envoys, and finally drives away the old king meeting on his head.

Now, it can be said that the protagonist has accomplished half of his small goal of unifying the two banks of the Great River - to unify the south bank of the Great River.

Although the one who travels a hundred miles is half ninety, but at least it has taken a solid step, the Divine Envoy King Legion has never been so powerful as it is now, controlling 72 secondary nests and hundreds of thousands of ant mouths, as long as there is another year or two, with the amazing multiplication ability of ants, coupled with the popularization of agricultural technology, the protagonist's territory can fully support millions of ant mouths.

With the huge ant mouth as the support, the Divine Envoy King Legion can accelerate its expansion, and nothing can stop the protagonist from taking the north bank of the Great River, not paving ants, not the northern expeditionary army of the big-headed ant kingdom, not the parasitic ants in the rear, and not those fierce mysterious ants, all of them.

The protagonist uses the winter to make a plan for next year, which is simply as follows: first eliminate the threat from the rear, and then start the Northern Expedition.

The threat from the rear refers to the resurgence of parasitic ants, and if this enemy cannot be eradicated or at least contained, the Divine Envoy King's army will not be able to concentrate its forces on the northern expedition.

In order to destroy or contain the parasitic ants, the protagonist needs to be able to directly attack the parasitic swamp, so he needs to build a fleet as soon as possible after the beginning of spring, at least to ensure that more than four legions can be transported safely to their destination at one time.

Once the threat of parasitic ants can be pacified, the Northern Expedition will be on the agenda before the next winter.

Now the situation on the north bank of the Great River is chaotic, the paving ant barbarian country, the northern expeditionary army of the big-headed ant kingdom and the mysterious ants are fighting together, and the Japanese black brown ant is impressive, and the indigenous ants such as the Japanese black brown ant and the black-headed sour ant are also implicated.

This kind of chaos is most beneficial to the protagonist, all the enemies in the open and in the shadows are holding each other down, and the protagonist can break them one by one, and use various means to ensure that there is no enemy who is strong enough to gradually suppress the other forces.

At present, the original overlord paving ant barbarian country on the north bank of the river has been besieged from all directions, and the decline has appeared. The Northern Expeditionary Army of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom came to the north bank of the Great River for a short time, and the background was too shallow. The only thing that has the greatest hope of rising to the top and becoming the Legion of the Divine Envoy is the mysterious ant of unknown origin.

However, even if the mysterious ants are a barbaric race that "eats ant meat", there are only more than 100,000 soldiers in the whole people, and their eating habits determine that their numbers cannot increase rapidly, which is their weakness.

The Divine Envoy King Legion, which has a stable rear base, will be able to defeat this enemy sooner or later, even if it is consumed.

Throughout the winter, [Waterfront City] survived peacefully, without encountering enemies or threatened by disasters.

The 4th year that the protagonist came to this world, he came quietly. And 4, in the general concept of the protagonist's world, is not a beautiful number!
