Chapter 270: The King's Meeting (1)

However, this kind of reform has to be done slowly, after all, it involves fifty flying knights, and it is also the vital interests of fifty kings. And there are only so many kings under the protagonist's command, and when he touches so many kings at once, the protagonist is also worried that he will use too much force to cause the death of other male ants and rabbits and shake his rule.

The protagonist simply puts down his mind and sets about going to the main nest. He instructed his men to treat "Tampest" well and feed him some meat every day. The protagonist then rides on Xiaoqing II and rushes to the main lair.

- I'm the dividing line -

Five days later, the protagonist returns from the main nest to Waterfront City, and he returns with a black face. It can be seen that the trip was not smooth.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the road, it's that the protagonist is angry with the king's meeting.

When the protagonist arrives at the main nest, it is already the afternoon of the same day.

When he landed on the castle on the hill of the main nest, he was immediately spotted by a patrol. After his identity was confirmed, the patrol cleared him.

The protagonist inquires with Wang Yi, the leader of the patrol, only to learn that the wedding ceremony has ended yesterday.

Now, the Council of the Kings is being held to discuss preparations for the upcoming war against the Paving Ant Barbarians.

The protagonist immediately walks towards the conference room, with the patrol accompanying him until escorting the protagonist into the main lair.

Xiaoqing II was taken by the patrol to a temporary location to stay behind.

The protagonist arrives in the conference room, and several able-bodied soldier ants at the door let the protagonist in. Inside, the meeting was taking place, and all the males lowered their heads and hung their antennae on the white pebbles of the ground, and they were so focused on communicating information through the ground, and even when the protagonist came in, the nearest kings did not react.

The protagonist also lowered his tentacles and joined the group chat.

As a result, after listening to it for a while, the protagonist's face turned black.

What everyone is discussing is about the protagonist, to be precise, about dividing up the protagonist's "inheritance".

The cause of the incident was that the protagonist was late and did not come in time to attend the meeting related to the wedding flight ceremony. Then, after the discussion of the king's meeting, everyone thought that the protagonist might have been sacrificed like the king of the West.

Although after the beginning of spring, the messenger of the main nest and the messenger sent by the king of public security have made contact with the protagonist, proving that at least the protagonist was still "alive" at that time.

However, no king will delay the convening order of the king's meeting issued by the main nest. So the protagonist didn't arrive as scheduled, probably because something bad happened.

For example, if the protagonist sets out in the wilderness to catch a rain storm or a fierce insect attack, this is possible.

In addition, through the returning messengers, the main nest also learned that the Divine Envoy King Legion had established a "bridgehead" in the territory of the Paving Ant Barbarians on the north bank of the Great River, and maintained contact between the two places through the suspended rope bridge.

Then it is possible for the Paving Ant Barbarian Army to defeat the "bridgehead" defenders, and then use the suspended rope bridge to threaten the territory of the Bighead Ant Kingdom in the season outside of winter.

The protagonist and his legions who bear the brunt of the attack may have died like the king of the West.

It can only be said that the King's Council only made the most reasonable analysis based on their intelligence, and the second group of messengers they sent to confirm the situation of the "Waterfront City" and the "Bridgehead" have not yet arrived on the road, and the King's Council can only analyze it based on old information.

The template they analyzed was still based on the traditional behavior pattern of the king, believing that the protagonist would also attach great importance to the king's meeting like them, and would definitely rush back to the main nest to participate in it desperately. So if the protagonist doesn't arrive on time, there must have been an accident and maybe even died.

Now that this judgment has been made, the next step is to consider a series of changes and the impact on this year's war for the worst-case scenario - the death of the protagonist.

Ants are a very pragmatic race, and due to the large number of their species, they also extremely neglect the rights and interests of the individual.

The king of the West is sacrificed, and the protagonist will feel uncomfortable, which is also based on the emotional pattern of human beings.

As for the other kings, after the death of this colleague, they will not be sad at all, they only need to think about who should be replaced in the king's meeting, and how to distribute the resources left by the kings of the West, and it has been put into practice.

Similarly, the protagonist's whereabouts are unknown now, and the King's Council now deduces that the protagonist may have died, so it is necessary to formulate a plan according to this situation, and the most important thing is how to divide the protagonist's "inheritance" and how to continue to win this year's war efficiently in the absence of the protagonist.

What the protagonist hears is a topic that is psychologically difficult for him to accept, even though the premise of this topic is that he is dead, and if he does not die, the scheme is nullified.

According to the final decision of the noisy meeting of the kings, the eldest and oldest king will receive the troops and resources that the protagonist will stay in "Dongyang City". If the Waterfront City and Bridgehead regions are not lost, the kings ranked second to fifth in order of seniority will each receive a portion of the Divine Envoy King's legion in that region.

The plan formulated by the Council of Kings is very crude, because the Council of Kings does not know how many resources and military power the protagonist has. However, the strong combat effectiveness of the Divine Envoy King's legion under the command of the protagonist has spread throughout the King's Conference, so the oldest kings have spoken out one after another, wanting to grab this part of the benefits.

In the middle, the protagonist has a dark face and does not say a word, quietly watching the performance of the kings. What the kings think is right, but in the eyes of the protagonist is an extremely ugly face, when he fought bloodily on the winter front, these kings are still huddled in the safe and warm rear, and now they actually want to divide up everything he has.

The protagonist keeps the message silent, so the kings who are focused on the meeting don't notice that the person they are discussing has arrived.

After discussing the division of the protagonist's troops, the topic suddenly turned to some shocking "measures" about whether to keep the protagonist.

Although the protagonist's series of changes in "Dongyang City" are carried out in secret from the main nest, he has established his authority in "Dongyang City" and other places, forming a de facto independent small kingdom.

But there are no impermeable walls in the world, and the same applies to ants.

Ants will occasionally enter the territory of the secondary nest near "Dongyang City", and the messengers sent by the main nest will also enter "Dongyang City". Even if these ants only have access to a small part of the information in "Dongyang City", it does not prevent them from spreading this information.

In short, the kings already knew that there were some different practices in Dongyang City, many of which made the powerful conservatives feel uncomfortable.
