When the Centipede Task Force suddenly appeared behind the Red Fire Ant Army, it was not spotted until it was visible to the naked eye.

The Red Fire Ant Army, who had neglected to reconnoiter in the rear, was taken aback, and they knew that if the Centipede Task Force was really an enemy army that came to raid, they were afraid that they would immediately fall into a passive situation of being attacked by the enemy.

Fortunately, however, the conflict had subsided for the time being, and the two sides were facing each other at a distance of about a decimeter, without a major fight under the suppression of the commander.

The task force hurried around and rushed back into their own formation, and finally returned to their homeland after several days.

Prior to this, the two armies, which had been entangled together, had each retreated a few steps back, and although they were still facing each other, they did not expand the contradictions.

On the Red Fire Ant Army's side, after an elder-level male ant arrived, he called back the army. On the side of the Legion of the Divine Envoy King, the protagonist is close and arrives earlier.

But the protagonist didn't take the initiative to stop the conflict.,Recently, the red fire ants have become more and more arrogant.,Three days sent two groups of messengers to ask for this and that.,Really regard yourself as the suzerain.,The Divine Envoy King Legion is a vassal who is easy to bully!?

The attitude of the Red Fire Ants actually shows the ambivalent attitude towards the Divine Envoy King Legion within the male ant class in their country.

Although the Divine Legion became a vassal of the Red Fire Ant Country, the two sides reached a contract. But the red fire ant males are not stupid, they clearly know that this vassal is different from other vassals, and this contract is also very strange, the other party does not need to obey the suzerainty unconditionally?

Such a vassal, is it still a vassal? With the temper of the red fire ants, it is obvious that they cannot tolerate such a bilateral relationship that is not good for them.

But what brought about the turnaround was the abundance of honeydew and crow honey that the Divine King's legions continued to provide through tribute and trade.

Do honeydew and crow honey matter?

It can be said that it doesn't matter, after all, this is not food, and if you don't have to eat, you will starve to death, and ordinary red fire ant warriors still eat the food provided by slaves, and honeydew basically doesn't have their share, let alone crow honey.

But it's also important, at least the males are now having a hard time leaving this luxury.

The Red Fire Ant Nation has a strict hierarchy, and the status of male ants is higher than that of ordinary warriors. And within the male ant class, there is also a hierarchy, and the elders are above the ordinary male ants. Even among the elders and ordinary male ants, the senior ones can justifiably support the junior ones.

This hierarchy is also evident in the supply of goods in the Red Fire Ant Country, where elders can be allocated honeydew and crow honey, ordinary males can be distributed honeydew daily, and warriors will only have the opportunity to eat a little diluted honeydew after an epic victory such as the "Battle of the Worlds".

Before the high-quality honeydew and crow honey provided by the Divine Envoy King Legion, the Red Fire Ant Nation relied on the pale honeydew of the brown helmet wax scales that the bellied ant clan paid tribute to reflect the hierarchy.

However, after the honeydew and crow honey, the belly ant clan was wiped out, the breeding industry of the brown helmet wax scale was completely abandoned, and the source of honeydew and crow honey that the male ant class of the Red Fire Ant Country had in mind was completely monopolized in the hands of the Divine Envoy King Legion.

The male class of red fire ants has not yet realized that trade is just as deadly as force. But their thirst for honeydew and raven honey makes them feel the need to maintain a relationship with the Divine Envoy Legion, and on the other hand, they covet the abundant resources of the Divine Envoy Legion.

And the male ant class of the red fire ant has a polarized view of the Divine Envoy King Legion. The elders who were able to receive an abundant supply of honeydew and crow honey, even in the present wartime, had slaves carrying snail shells filled with concentrated honeydew and crow honey, and they still drunk and dreamed of death among the sweet liquids every day.

If it's just honeydew, crows make them addicted, and the brains are no longer intensely bloodthirsty, but paralyzed, and the desire to thirst for raven honey gradually overwhelms everything, and even slowly overwhelms the bloodthirsty instinct.

These elders began to tend to coexist with the legions of the Divine Envoy King, as long as they could obtain enough crow honey.

Honeydew, on the other hand, does not have such a strong addictive effect, and ordinary males who can only get the supply of honeydew are extremely hungry for honeydew, and they can't get enough honeydew like the patriarchs.

They craved more honeydew, but all but the honeydew that paid tribute had to be obtained from the legions of the Divine Messenger through barter.

These ordinary male commanders are dissatisfied with the amount of honeydew they receive every day, and they are also concerned by the continuous loss of their country's booty and produce in the trade. Therefore, in their greed and hatred, they have a bad opinion of the army of the Divine King.

The number of ordinary male ants is huge, and since the Red Fire Ant Nation is unable to satisfy their pursuit of honeydew through trade, these male ants feel that there is no need to obtain honeydew through trade, so it would be better to directly eliminate this vassal and let the captive slaves produce honeydew for themselves for free?

It is precisely because of the difference in concept between the elder of the red fire ant and the ordinary male ant that there is a contradiction in the self-contradictory behavior of the commander of the ordinary male ant leading the troops to provoke the conflict, and the elder arrives to stop the conflict.

In the conflict, the Divine Envoy King's Legion lost more than a dozen soldiers, and the Red Fire Ant Army's losses were several times that amount, and this was when the Divine Envoy King's Legion did not use ballistas, tanks, and slings.

The commanders of the Red Fire Ant Army also saw the disparity in the proportions of the corpses of the two armies in the open space between the two armies, and they didn't know how to feel.

Under the deliberate suppression of the Red Fire Ant Elder, this conflict did not make a big difference. However, the face of the suzerainty needs to be preserved, and the Red Fire Ant Elder has a tentacle-to-tentacle meeting with the protagonist.

In the eyes of the Red Fire Ants, [Red Iron City] is an important trophy, and last year the Red Fire Ant Kingdom seized a lot of loot here, including honeydew and crow honey hematite that were exchanged from the Divine Envoy King's army through middlemen.

This year, the Red Fire Ant Army has long coveted [Red Iron City], hoping to loot some more materials that can be exchanged for honeydew and crow honey, but they don't want this place to have already changed hands.

Elder Red Fire Ant angrily stated that [Red Iron City] was their rightful spoil, stolen by the Divine Envoy King's legion. However, the protagonist shows a packet stating that the Divine Envoy Legion had taken the place independently and repelled the Leaf Cutter Army's counterattack long before the Red Fire Ant Army's counterattack.

The Red Fire Ant Elder was convinced, but he still needed to appease the other angry males.

Eventually, the protagonist agrees to pay an additional tribute of 6 Snail Shell Honeydew and 1 Snail Shell Crow Honey this year as compensation for this incident.

With compensation, the Red Fire Ant Army, although there are still male ants who are reluctant, still accept such a solution.

The males paid no attention to the soldiers who had died on the ground, and took the corpses of the Red Fire Ant warriors with them before leading the army away.

The conflict subsided, but this incident completely exposed the already hidden contradiction between the Divine Envoy King Legion and the Red Fire Ant Country.
