Time flies quickly when hectic times are busy, and this hot winter is the same, in the busy and noisy underground world, the years are blink of an eye, and it is already a new year.

When the protagonist crosses out the last date on his five-year calendar and draws a calendar for the new year on the blades of grass, it is the time of the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

On January 1, 6, the protagonist held a New Year's party in the lair as usual, and feasted all the male ants of the five races in the Divine Envoy King's legion.

This is the first New Year, the first New Year's banquet of the Legion of the Divine Messenger King in the new world. Last year, the banquet was still held in the main city [Qingqiu City], and many known ants gathered together, but now they are no longer human.

The protagonist tries to get rid of bad thoughts and dedicates himself to cooking. Many of the food at the banquet is a new dish brought by the protagonist, except for crow honey, all the types of food in the warehouse are available.

The king of high status can come to the large conference room in the main city of [Xinyang City] to dine with the king of the gods, while most of the male ants are not of enough status and can only get a piece of food and return to their own dormitory to share the meal.

Such a New Year's banquet is an important measure to shape the cultural tradition of the Divine Envoy King's legion, and it is also a means for the protagonist to maintain the majesty of the Divine Envoy King.

After the banquet, the protagonist of a busy day lay on the bed alone and thought a lot.

It's been six years, and it's been six years since he came to this ant world.

Six years is enough for a newly enrolled elementary school student to graduate, enough for a dog to grow from infancy to middle age, and enough for all the pieces of iron buried in the soil to rust and rot.

And six years have also made the protagonist's memories of being a human more and more blurred.

When he first crossed over, he couldn't remember his identity and past, but every time he saw something familiar, he could always think of the impression and memory of this thing in his previous life for the first time, and awaken some of his sleeping memories.

And now, this association is becoming less and less, just like yesterday I saw the symbol of the leaf-cutting ant, which obviously felt very familiar, as if I used to be with each other every day, but I just couldn't remember it.

The protagonist feels like he is becoming more and more integrated into the world year after year, but he is gradually losing his former self.

He has always wanted to use human knowledge and experience to transform the world, but he has always been transformed by this world.

He knows all this, and once resisted assimilation in this world, but after discovering that it was futile, the protagonist also resigned himself to his fate, and he could not become a human anymore, so he could only live as an ant.

Who influences whom, who assimilates whom, and sees it clearly after thinking about it, what's the point of that? Everything he is doing now is more to follow his inner thoughts, to live, to live better, to let God make the King's Legion better, that's all!?

Not only that, at least he never forgot the idea of revenge...

- I'm the dividing line -

Last year's winter came early, and this year's spring came early.

Not long after New Year's Day, the earth warmed up quickly, and by February, the daytime temperature had risen to nearly 20 degrees.

Now not only the paver ants, but also other ants can go out around noon.

Worried about the cold spring, the protagonist does not let the ants operate on a large scale outdoors, but just searches the neighborhood for some early spring food to replenish the stock.

In early spring, everything has just recovered, and the food that can be found is very limited, but the biggest harvest is not food, but the ants of [Nansen City] have found dozens of beetle eggs in the rotten wood in the woods.

When the walnut fleet arrived last year, it had carried six scarab, stag carapace and two-pronged beetle eggs, two of each of which were male and female.

But none of the eggs hatched last year, probably because they had been stored for too long and had been bumpy during the journey. New beetle eggs are found this year, and the protagonist can start rebuilding the tank unit.

Taking advantage of this time, the Divine Envoy King's legion also moved outside the twelve ballistas that had been made underground all winter, and armed all the defensive walls that ran across the neck.

- I'm the dividing line -

Although February was generally warm, it was always warm and cold, and the Divine Envoy King's army could not completely let go of their hands and feet to work outdoors.

In March, spring flowers, forsythia, magnolias, peach blossoms and other flowers bloom one after another, the grass begins to turn green, willow trees also sprout new shoots, and winter is completely over.

[Xinyangcheng] and [Nansen Castle] have also fully recovered, and they are shrouded in green fields and pastures.

All industries have begun to reopen, mealworms and maggots have begun to multiply in large numbers on farms, aphid colonies, scale shell colonies and purple gray butterfly larvae have been placed in suitable pastures, and seeds sown in the fields have rapidly sprouted.

The messenger of the Divine Messenger King's legion has gone to the territory of the Lifter Ant, reminding the Lifter Ant to send the supplies that had not been delivered last year as soon as possible.

The bellied ants said that it was still a little cold at night recently, and they had to wait a little longer before they could send out a transport team, otherwise it would be dangerous for the transport team to spend the night outside.

The protagonist understands that the supplies are not urgently needed. And the warehouse of the Divine Envoy King's army is quite stocked, enough to support a new batch of grain harvest.

The trade with the red fire ants through the Belly Lift Ant has not yet begun, and the protagonist is already planning to open up a new trade route.

The trade was made against another powerful country in the region, the leafcutter ants.

The leafcutter clan has hematite in their territory, and trade is the best option when they cannot control it militarily.

The protagonist combs through the goods he can provide, and thinks that honeydew and crow honey are the most suitable, no ant can resist the temptation of sugar, and the leaf-cutting ant will not be an exception.

However, at present, the remaining honeydew and crow honey in the warehouse of the Divine Envoy King Legion are not much after a winter of consumption, and some of the remaining inventory will have to wait until the goods ordered last year to pay for the subsequent shipment of the bellied ants.

Recent herds of aphids, scale insects and purple butterfly larvae have just hatched, some are still hatching, and are still a week or two away from the large-scale harvest.

So the protagonist is not in a hurry for the time being, and when the goods are ready, it's not too late to try again.

The protagonist himself is not sure whether he will succeed in opening up this trade route, and according to the introduction of the belly ant, the leafcutter ant family is very exclusive.

Unlike the Red Fire Ants, which are willing to accept vassals, the Leafcutter does not allow any other ants to live in their forest territory, they have no vassals, and they do not need vassals to pay tribute for additional resources.

Would such a closed and conservative race be willing to trade with the legions of the Divine Envoy for the sake of honeydew and raven?

The protagonist can only find a way to try, sending a messenger with a small amount of supplies is a test, and if the temptation fails, the loss can be controlled.

It's just that if the trade route is blocked, then you can only find other ways to continue to obtain iron ore, and the protagonist's thirst for iron cannot be stopped!
