sent away the "old heart", in addition to using credit transactions to take the opportunity to raise the price of transactions, the protagonist has other gains.

That's the opportunity to expand.

With the Divine Envoy King's legion in the swamp region completely wiped out, there is no going back to the homeland for the time being. The protagonist has no choice but to use [New Yang City] as a new base camp to develop the power of the Divine Envoy King's legion in this new land.

With the development of [Xinyang City], the number of ant populations in the city has surged, and the affiliated ant tribes are about to divide their nests, and the space pressure in the city is very great.

This is also related to the congenital deficiency of [Xinyang City], this nest is too close to the river, and the nest will be soaked if it extends a little deeper underground, especially in the rainy season, it is even more worried about waterlogging, so it can only expand horizontally as much as possible.

But it is precisely the location of [Xinyangcheng] on the narrow neck of the peninsula, and there are poplar trees crisscrossing the roots underground, and the potential for horizontal expansion is limited.

It is such a nest with tight space, not only for tens of thousands of ants to live, but also distributed breeding farms, various workshops, warehouses and other nests, and the potential for space expansion has basically been exhausted.

Compared with Dongyangcheng, which has a vast land and is close to copper mines and salt marshes, the basic conditions of Xinyangcheng can be described as congenitally insufficient, with no space and resources.

And even if the Divine Envoy King Legion is temporarily down, there will always be a time to recover. Revival requires space and resources, and such a nest of congenital deficiencies cannot be a base for revival.

Therefore, the protagonist's expanding eyes are fixed on the vast wooded area to the north of [Xinyang City].

Recently, the Divine Envoy King Legion organized several explorations of the forest, and found that this forest area is very large, the products are relatively rich, and there are no dangerous insects.

However, the strange thing is that in this forest with good conditions, the exploration team has gone far away, but there has been no trace of the existence of an ant race.

This makes the protagonist's heart beat a little drum, is there any danger in this forest that he doesn't know? So that the ants can't survive here? Otherwise, how can this phenomenon not be explained?

You know, ants are the most widely distributed insects, even in deserts and permafrost!

It just so happened that today's "old heart" came to visit, and the protagonist took the opportunity to inquire about the situation of this big forest, and the belly ants, as natives, will definitely know better.

The protagonist who knows the truth from the "old heart" is finally at ease.

It turned out that this forest was not inhabited by ants at present, but earlier it had an owner, a forest ant family, and its strength was once quite strong.

Unfortunately, the woods became the fiercest battlefield at that time, and the forest ants faced two sides of the flank from the west and the red fire ants from the back, and although they fought hard, they were still invincible.

In the end, compared to the leafcutter ants, which do not accept vassal forces, the forest ants can only choose to become vassals of the red fire ants, and use the power of the red fire ants to fight against the leafcutter ants who try to completely dominate the forest.

But as a result, the leafcutter ants were more dominant in the woods, and the forest ants were driven out of the woods and moved to another woods under the protection of the red fire ants.

The habits of forest ants and belly-raising ants are somewhat similar, they were originally close, and they were also oppressed by leaf-cutting ants, so their fate also made the belly-raising ants feel the same way. This is the reason why the bellied ants know very well what happens to the forest ants, and why they will not leave the red fire ants even if they are pressed fiercely.

If there were no red fire ants willing to take them in, the belly ant and forest ant races would have been wiped out by the leaf-cutting ants a long time ago!

The forest did not belong to the leafcutter ants in the end, it was too close to the native red fire ants, and after a rising water, the communication between the large forest and the native of the leafcutter ants became muddy and imfeasible, and the red fire ants took the opportunity to organize a coalition to wipe out the leafcutter ants in the forest.

After that, the red fire ants did not occupy this place because they did not like the terrain of the woods, and the forest ants did not plan to return to this dangerous place, and the leaf-cutting ants probably learned their lesson and no longer tried to occupy this place, and the large forest became a three-way area.

Knowing the history of the northern woods of [Xinyangcheng], the protagonist pondered for a while.

If this forest is occupied by the Divine Messenger King's legion, there are pros and cons.

On the positive side, it can naturally greatly expand the land actually controlled by the Divine Envoy King's legion, and it is not a problem to feed hundreds of thousands of Divine Warriors with the food output of this forest, not to mention that there are abundant various resources in the forest.

But there are also many disadvantages, although this forest is currently a three-way zone, but in other words, once it is discovered by red fire ants or leafcutter ants, it is also a place of four battles.

Judging from the description of the bellied ants, both races are powerful and extremely difficult to mess with.

When the bellied ants were driven out of their hometowns, it is said that the leafcutter ants mobilized an army of hundreds of thousands, and all the branches of the entire forest were densely packed with leafcutter warriors. These leafcutter ants can be described as invincible in forest battles, and fighting in the woods naturally has attribute bonuses.

The Red Fire Ants, on the other hand, are invincible in ground combat, and there are many affiliated ant clans, which can form a multi-ant clan alliance that is more complex than the Divine Envoy King Legion, which is also difficult to deal with.

No matter which race it is against, the current strength of the Divine Envoy King Legion is not enough to contend with.

This is as unrealistic as letting the Divine Envoy King Legion of only one city in [Dongyang City] fight against the paving ant barbarian kingdom on the north bank of the entire Great River. And the Divine Envoy King Legion of [Xinyang City] does not have the same excellent development environment as it did in [Dongyang City], and the leaf-cutting ants and red fire ants are also stronger than the paving ant barbarian country.

But just huddled in a corner of [Xinyangcheng], relying on barren and narrow territories and unstable resale trade to develop, is also a slow death.

Stretching out the head is also a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, and the protagonist chooses to stand and die.

The Divine Envoy King's legion soon formed a pioneer detachment, and Jianiu led his legion to escort tens of thousands of worker ants, crossed the northern lowlands, reached the edge of the woods, and began to build a city on a small hill.

Speaking of which, the big-headed ants actually prefer the open land race, so their first secondary nest did not choose to go deep into the woods, but at the edge of the woods, so that they can not only use part of the resources of the woods, but also the terrain is more suitable for the big-headed ants to build nests, and they are closer to [Xinyang City], so they can be horns for each other.

This new castle is named by the protagonist [Sennan Castle], that is, the castle south of the forest.

Some of the more extensive hinterland [of Sennan Castle] could be used as a new agricultural and animal husbandry production base. Considering that this lair is easy to attack and difficult to defend in the terrain, this place will not be used as an industrial base, and in the event of an invincible enemy, this place can also be temporarily abandoned, and all the troops can retreat to the [Xinyang City] fortress, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the past few days when tens of thousands of big-headed ants are in full swing to build a new city on the hill, the queen and male ants of the hunting sickle ants, paver ants and belly ants have also broken their pupas, and the protagonist plans to organize a wedding flight in the near future.

This will mark the official addition of the Ant Clan to the Divine Envoy King Legion once again.
