Chapter 221: The Threat of the Paving Ant Imperial Army
Elder Wisdom "far underestimated the combat effectiveness of the protagonist and the Divine Soldier Ants, the number of ambush troops of nearly a thousand, the carefully selected assassination site, the long-range shooting tactics arranged in advance, the desolate ambush location without ant tracks, so many advantages in favor of the assassin, but they failed to leave the protagonist and all 50 Praetorian Guards behind.
The protagonist who broke through with all his strength was killed 13 and 36 were wounded, although it seems that there are not many of them, they are all elites, which also makes the protagonist very distressed.
When the "King of Wisdom" heard and saw the arrival of the Flying Knight, he had already been aware of the existence of the Flying Knight in the war, and learned from the "Thief Eye" and other slaves that the Flying Knight was powerful, so he gave up the pursuit very decisively and began to retreat.
In this operation, the "Wise Elder" has successfully completed the task of finding the internal response, and as for the "Chief Elder" who assassinated the Ant Alliance, it was only incidental, and it didn't matter if it failed.
Now that a large amount of information about the Ant Alliance has been obtained, the "Wise Elders" must return to the north to bring the information back to the country to serve the army's southern expedition.
In the past few days of wanton search and arrest in [Xinyang City], the pursuit operation in charge of the "Tianxian" will successively capture and exterminate the three deserters with the coordination of the open space and land.
But the "Wise Elder" and the "Thief's Eye" are not among them, they choose to act alone with only 4 guards, and go to the grass and bushes where the ants are inaccessible, and the 3 deserters are all bait, and when the Ant Alliance pursued these 3 deserters, the "Wise Elders" who had already reconnoitred the terrain in advance took the opportunity to escape from the Ant Alliance border smoothly and disappeared into the reckless wasteland of the Leaf Cutting Ant Country's territory.
When the search fails, the protagonist becomes furious.
At this time, the rebellion of the three sub-nests in the north had been quelled, and the rebel army with weak combat effectiveness was no match for the Divine Envoy King's legion, which was armed to the teeth, and the attack on the Divine Envoy King made the grassroots commanders even more warlike.
After the battle, the Divine Envoy King Legion captured a lot of prisoners, and many ordinary professional ants rebelled with the male ants in a daze, and after losing their command, they couldn't raise their desire to fight for the former Divine Envoy King warriors of the same force, and they obediently tied their hands and captured.
The protagonist has learned from the few captured male captives that the Paving Ant Imperial Army and the Red Fire Ant Army plan to go south to restore the Red Fire Ant Country.
And those involved in this assassination and rebellion, the internal response of the Red Fire Ant Country that was found out was also punished.
The protagonist organizes a public execution outside [Xinyang City], and all the males, large worker ants, Shengong ants, and Shenbing ants in [Xinyang City] watch the execution, and important members of various ethnic groups in other places are also taken back by the flying knights to watch the execution.
On the execution ground was a huge pyre, and the captured rebels and the arrested red fire ants should have been tightly tied, broken limbs and thrown on the pyre.
It was a burning stake, the mysterious liquid was sprinkled on the pyre, and soon the flames were rising, and in the firelight, the ants watching the execution watched as thousands of criminals curled up in the flames, and before they could even struggle, they were quickly scorched.
After the execution, the protagonist convenes a meeting of a large number of ant nobles and announces the punishment of the three tribes responsible for the incident, such as the belly ant, the burrowing ant, and the Japanese black brown ant, because there is a traitor among the three tribes, but they have not been informed in advance to report it.
As a result of the punishment given by the protagonist, the representatives of the three tribes at all levels were deprived of high-grade food and honeydew rations for 5-10 days, and the supply was suspended for 1 day every 3 days until the execution was completed.
In addition, at the second joint meeting of the tribes held immediately after that, the protagonist announced that an intelligence department and a gendarmerie department would be established under the Ministry of Military Affairs.
The former is responsible for collecting domestic and foreign intelligence, while the latter is responsible for supervising and enforcing the law at home, including the military, which is also a measure taken by the protagonist to draw lessons from assassinations and rebellions.
In the face of the imminent southern invasion of the Paving Ant Empire, the protagonist of the meeting advocated that the situation should be reported to the Leaf Cutting Ant Country as soon as possible.
The Leaf Cutting Ant Country is now the northern barrier of the Ant Alliance, and once the Paving Ant Empire Army goes south, it must first pass through the Leaf Cutting Ant Country, and if it can join forces with the Leaf Cutting Ant Country to block the enemy outside the border of the Ant Alliance, it will be able to protect the land from being ravaged.
Although the Ant Alliance has long been ready to meet the enemy's revenge, and the land of the former Red Fire Ant Country occupied by it has no high-tech industries, all of which are agriculture, but if it can avoid war and reduce losses, why not?
At the meeting, the protagonist announces that the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade "Little Flower" is preparing to send an envoy to the Leaf Cutting Ant Country, informing the other side of the information, and negotiating a plan for the expeditionary force of the Divine Envoy King's Legion to enter the territory of the Leaf Cutting Ant Country for joint operations.
At the same time, the Ant Alliance itself began to prepare for war.
————
As if he had a heart, "Little Flower" hadn't set off yet, but the Leaf-cutting Ant Kingdom came to the door first.
The first caravan of the year arrived, and it was the caravan of the Bullet Ant Country, bringing some goods.
Also with him was the messenger of the Leafcutter Ant Country. The messenger said that after receiving a request from the Black Fire Ant Nation, the "Inheritance of the Ancient Gods" ant clan conference will be held in 14 days to discuss important matters.
When the protagonist learns about this, he personally meets the messenger and asks curiously why the meeting is being held.
It stands to reason that the "Ancient God Inheritance" ant clan conference is held once every 6 years, and it is only temporarily convened when it encounters important matters, and the meeting held last year was to accept the ant alliance as a member, so this year!?
The Leafcutter Messenger said that he didn't know very well, but that it was just the beginning of spring, and the Black Fire Ant Nation Messenger arrived at [Sacred Tree City] with the caravan of the Bullet Ant Clan, applied for a meeting, and was approved by the Leafcutter Ant Nation Queen Ant Assembly.
The protagonist's curiosity is useless, he can only wait patiently for 14 days, and then go to the meeting to see in person.
"Little Flower" then went to [Sacred Tree City] with the messenger of the Leafcutter Ant Country, and after the discussion of the Queen Ant Conference and the Female Ant Conference of the Leafcutter Ant Country, the other party thanked the Ant Alliance for the information provided and said that he would make every effort to prepare for the war.
But they rejected the request of the Divine Envoy King's legion to enter the Ant Alliance to fight, after all, the ants attach great importance to their territory, and it is easy for them to let foreign armies enter their borders, even if it is an alliance army, they are also wary.
The protagonist is also mentally prepared for this result and can only accept it.
The preparations for the Ant Alliance did not stop at all, and the plan to expand the army to 40 legions was officially launched, and 16 legions began to assemble on the northern border one after another to respond at any time.
After a winter of accumulation, the ant population and armament of the Ant Alliance are abundant, and the new legion is quickly formed, and now all that is lacking is some training and actual combat experience.
Although the north bank of the Qing River faced a military threat, the colonial development of the south bank of the Qing River did not stop.
The army in [Pioneer City] has been expanded to 10 legions, and after a month of training, these legions will attack from all sides, expanding the territory according to the territory drawn by the protagonist on the map.
