Chapter 69: Moving (2)

I silently watched the movement of the tribe on the other side until I could detect anything new before I left.

By this time, I had no heart to look for salt and food, and I made my way through the territory at a rapid speed, straight in the direction of the lair.

Back in the nest, the young queen is no longer in place, it looks like she is back underground.

I hurried into the nest and went straight to the oldest queen, and reported to her what I had seen.

After listening to my report, the emotions conveyed by the oldest queen ant were very solemn, and she immediately summoned the queen ant who was still in the nest, the old male ant and the excellent warrior to come and discuss.

Soon, the young queen, broken legs, yellow, etc., as well as the oldest male ant who was always hiding in the nest**, all arrived, and some of the remaining fighters went out without being notified.

When everyone gathered, everyone formed a circle together, and the tentacles were attached to each other to form a meeting formation.

I shared the packet of information I just had with you, and you read it quickly.

The queens speak first, followed by the warriors, and finally the older males. Everyone is very unanimous, that is, they think that the opposite tribe seems to be unkind and very aggressive in this move.

Their nests are so close to the border that they can easily cross the border to poach. However, our tribe is far away, so it will be difficult to effectively control this border.

If nothing else, let's just say that there are two time periods in the morning and evening, because we have to return to the nest for the night, our patrol team will not be able to effectively maintain the patrol of the border.

But we have no way to negotiate with the other tribe, and the nest they have chosen is not customary, but it is in the territory of the other party, and we have no right to interfere.

The broken leg looked very annoyed, and this contradiction could not be resolved through a duel, so she didn't know what to do.

Although Huang's prestige has plummeted since the last duel, her mind is still relatively flexible. Just when everyone had nothing to do, Huang proposed that we move too, and move to the place across the ditch from the other tribe's new lair.

I have to say that her proposal is very convincing, so that the problem of the other tribe that we are worried about sneaking across the line and encroaching on our prey will be solved, and the nests of both sides are in each other's field of view and can monitor each other. So some queens and warriors immediately agreed.

But the old male ant and I objected.

I didn't expect the old males to agree with me, I don't like these males very much. But I don't let my likes and dislikes affect my judgment.

I didn't want to move because it was so targeted. Although the other tribe does this first, if both sides do this, the nests will face each other, and it will easily cause stalemate and conflict on the border in the future. I don't think we need to clash with our kind, outsiders and degenerates are our enemies.

Moreover, the destruction of the original owners of the valley, the neighboring tribes, is still a mystery, and their tragic fate must be vigilant, such an outcome must not happen to our tribe. Relatively speaking, the hills are still safer.

But the others didn't listen to my suggestion, and in the end, the meeting took into account everyone's opinions and decided to move, and the meeting ended.

- I'm the dividing line -

For the next few days, our tribe was busy moving.

Moving is not a simple matter, although our tribe does not have many ants and goods, but there are still many things that need to be prepared in advance.

The most important thing is, of course, to choose the location of the new nest.

Due to the need to monitor the new lair of the opposite tribe, our new lair must be located on the west side of the dry river ditch, not far from the other party's lair.

The opponent's nest is built in a tree using a tree hole. We also wanted to find a suitable tree to nest in.

Originally, our nest was on a hill, so we didn't have to worry about rain backing up, so we could build our nest underground. But in the low-lying valleys, once it rains, the dry stream can instantly turn into a terrifying torrent.

I hadn't experienced that kind of scene, and I couldn't imagine its terrifying power, but the eldest queen had seen the flood, and I remember vividly the unstoppable power of the flood and her deep fear and terror in the message she sent.

At this time, a nest in a tree is necessary, and the healthy and strong trees are strong enough to keep out the flood and shelter the tribes living on it until the flood waters recede and life goes on as usual.

In the past few days, I, Broken Leg, and Huang have been watching the movements of the opposite tribe near the border line with a few warriors, while searching for the address of the new lair.

The tribe on the other side has also noticed our presence, and a team of this size cannot escape the gaze of a keen warrior like I am alone.

They continued to build new nests without care, and from time to time they threw small pieces of wood from the trunks of trees off the branches and deliberately threw them on our territory.

They are provoking.

Although the boundaries determined by the Holy Duel were highly authoritative, they were mostly unconvinced.

Now, they should have reacted, if it wasn't for Huang taking the initiative to challenge at that time, that duel, it should be a giant defeating me, a tall man can also defeat a broken leg with inconvenient limbs, and a warrior who was defeated by a broken leg would have no problem defeating Huang.

That way, the opposing tribe that won all three battles would be able to gain a larger territory, but now it would have to bend its nest to the borderline.

They may have thought that it was our trick to let Huang go into battle first, and it was a desecration of the duel.

We ignore such provocations, as long as the other side does not blatantly want to violate the border, we ignore it. Right now, finding a new lair location is a top priority.

There are many trees on both sides of the ditch, many of which are towering trees, which make the ground appear dim in sunlight, and there are few shrubs, weeds and ferns on the surface.

But there aren't many trees to choose from. Some of the cedar trees are too tall and straight, and there are no branches or holes in the lower places; The pine tree has a nasty smell; The beech wood is too hard for us to dig the xylem inside.

All in all, the tung tree chosen by the tribe opposite is really a good tree species, with a thick trunk, many branches, loose wood, and many natural tree holes.

In the end, we chose a date tree, which had a strange twist at the end of its branches, like maggots.

But aside from the strange branches, everything in this date tree qualifies:

It is about five meters away from the Fatong of the opposite tribe, and some of the branches are even closer, almost intersecting with the branches of the Fatong tree, and the sentinels can easily observe it.

The trunk is tall and thick, and it is not afraid of floods.

There are natural tree holes to use.

The fruit of the jujube tree attracts a lot of prey, and we don't need to go far from the nest to hunt.

There are so many benefits.

As soon as the initial determination was made, we went back to the nest to report the discovery.
