As soon as spring begins, before the protagonist's plan to open up a new trade route is implemented, an unexpected visitor breaks the tranquility of [Xinyang City].

On March 20th, the belly-raising ant king "Lao Xin" suddenly appeared outside [Xinyang City] without warning with more than a dozen belly-lifting ants.

The Divine Envoy King Warrior who discovered them immediately reported to the protagonist, much to the protagonist's surprise.

As one of the most respected kings of the belly-raising ant clan, "Old Heart" has rarely left the nest, and for most of last year, he came to [Xinyang City] twice: once to lead the main army to attack [Xinyang City], he came as a commander; The other time was related to trade, which required him to lead the team and make decisions, and he also came after contacting him in advance.

Today, "Old Heart" suddenly appears outside the city without saying hello, which makes the protagonist feel that something is wrong.

The protagonist's life can be described as ups and downs, and he has also developed a unique sense of smell for abnormalities and dangers in the ups and downs, just like Liu Da'er's skills in the turmoil.

Sure enough, as expected, as soon as he saw "Old Heart", the other party fell to the ground with six limbs and antennae, looking extremely humble, and then made a seemingly tempting suggestion.

"Old Heart" expressed his intention, indicating that on behalf of the Legion of the Raised Ants, he decided to officially break away from the vassal status of the Red Fire Ant Kingdom and join the Legion of the Divine Envoy King as a loyal vassal.

But at the same time, he also pleaded with the gods to enable the King's Legion to provide the military protection that the suzerainty should naturally provide in the event that the Legion of the Bell-Raised Ants was in danger.

The protagonist immediately senses a hint of danger and conspiracy, and the "old heart" says that he wants to accept military asylum, who is he targeting? However, in the tentacle communication with the protagonist, "Old Heart" has always refused to divulge this information, which makes the protagonist feel that the bellied ants mean something.

If the Bell-Raising Ants are just facing an ordinary military threat, the protagonist naturally doesn't mind sending a force to help the Bell-Lifters settle the situation. After all, as the only outlet channel for the Divine Envoy King Legion at present, the belly raising ant still needs to be protected.

But ordinary threats can be dealt with by themselves, they come to take refuge in such a big way, they have nothing to do, they are either treacherous or thieves, if they don't encounter an imminent major threat, then there are ghosts!

The protagonist has already learned about the terrain in the vicinity since he sent out an exploration team last winter, and it is no longer a situation where his eyes are black. He knew that to the east of the territory of the Legionnaire Clan was a barren desert unsuitable for ants, to the west was the Legion of the Divine Envoy King, and to the north was the Red Fire Ant, its suzerain.

There is no fixed ant race living on the eastern side of the barren beach, and if it is a wandering ant tribe, it will not venture through the barren beach with almost no food in the barren period of early spring.

To the west is the Legion of the Divine King, and the protagonist naturally knows that his subordinates are not attacking this neighbor who pays tribute to him and also trades on his behalf.

The rest is only the threat from the north, and combined with the fact that the "old heart" representative of the belly ants expressed no hesitation to break away from the control of the red fire ants, then it is obvious who the threat is coming from.

Sure enough, the protagonist repeatedly asks if there has been a battle in the belly ant nest recently, and if so, it depends on the information packet. He also said that if the other party did not truthfully confess and provide information, he would refuse the request of the bellied ant clan.

"Old Heart" finally reluctantly handed over the information package, and the protagonist checked it, and there was no trace of lying.

When the protagonist is in his homeland, the ants he has seen are very honest, and the content given in the information package is also true. However, the protagonist himself can edit and modify the contents of the packet in his mind, and although he will leave traces that he can see, he will believe it when he shows it to the other ants. The protagonist also learns that the contents of the packet are not necessarily completely true.

The ants in this place are much more cunning than their homeland, and last year, the bellied ant clan hid from each other between the Red Fire Ant Kingdom and the Divine Envoy King Legion, and reaped a lot of benefits, which made the protagonist determine this.

So he carefully checked the packet, and in his experience, the contents of the packet were true.

Sure enough, what the protagonist reads from the packet is a sudden attack on the woods inhabited by the bellied ants.

The "old heart" himself couldn't figure out where they had offended the suzerain, and the red fire ants of the suzerainty didn't send messengers at all after the spring of this year, and directly sent thousands of troops, and they killed them violently.

The bellied ants are like a stupid white sweet in the face of ill-intentioned gangsters, at first they were still rushing to win to show goodwill, until they were attacked, and there were worker ants who fled back to the nest to report the news, and the three veteran kings felt bad and hurriedly organized resistance.

The combat effectiveness of the bellied ants is naturally not the opponent of the red fire ants, and the red fire ants also sent more than a thousand red fire ant warriors before, and there were no vassal warriors, so they fought the bellied ant clan and surrendered and became vassals willingly.

But this time is a little different, the bellied ants have learned the lesson of the last failure, under the leadership of the commander, avoid hand-to-hand combat with the red fire ants, but with the help of the terrain, constantly shift, always occupy the upper position of the red fire ants, and use formic acid shots to attack from a distance.

However, according to the experience of the last time, the red fire ants plan to raid the nest of the bellied ants in one go, and solve the battle by capturing the thief and the king.

As a result, under the flexible attack of the bellied ants, the red fire ants, which are not very good at climbing trees and fighting, have been led by the nose in the maze of criss-crossing trees, as if there are formic acid shots in all directions, but they always can't catch these enemies who are like monkeys in the trees.

The bellied ants managed to contain the Red Fire Ants' troops, and finally forced the small group of Red Fire Ants to retreat with more than 100 corpses abandoned.

But the bellied ants who won the victory were not happy.

As one of the supreme commanders of this battle, the "old heart" knew very well that if the red fire ants had made up their minds to exterminate their own clan for some reason, they would not have sent a small force so big next time!

If more Red Fire Ant Warriors come next time, if the Red Fire Ants bring forest ants or belly ant vassals who are good at forest warfare next time, then their own clan will be difficult to resist.

You must know that just now just to resist more than a thousand red fire ants, more than 3,000 belly warriors almost exhausted all the formic acid, and only killed more than 100 red fire ants, forcing the enemy to retreat!

Therefore, the bellied ants held a meeting of all the kings and decided to find another backer, just as they escaped from the leafcutter ants and found the red fire ants as a backer.

For a weak ant clan, survival is the first thing, and the ants will not laugh at the three domestic slaves, but will only laugh at those ants who died because they did not judge the situation.

Now that the ball is at the feet of the protagonist, does he want to accept the belly lifter of Toucheng?
