Do you want to accept the surrender of the bellied ant?

The main character has a bit of a big head.

From the perspective of risk and opportunity, the protagonist does not want to offend the Red Fire Ant Nation by sheltering the Bell-bellied Ant Clan.

The containment of the bellied ant clan is just for the sake of the gods to make the king's army have tens of thousands of more bellied ant mouths and a small amount of their belongings.

Now there is a complete vassal ant clan of bellied ants in the Divine Envoy King Legion, which is self-sufficient and does not need these additional ant mouth supplements at all.

However, the risk of containing the belly ant clan is extremely great, which is clearly to start a war with the red fire ants!

Although it has been more than half a year since the Divine Envoy King's army came to this place, and he has worked hard to manage the territory, and he is not as poor and fragile as when he first arrived, he has not fully recovered after all.

In its heyday, the Divine Envoy King Legion had dozens or hundreds of main legions, a large number of elite warriors armed with bronze weapons, tanks and ballistas, a vast territory with complete and rich resources, and dared to fight against hundreds of thousands of destroyers.

But now, the Divine Envoy King's Legion is not as good as before, and the army only has three legions, and only two of them are fully armed and have strong combat effectiveness, and the 3rd Legion is still running-in. The territory's size, production, and ant population are less than one-thirtieth of what it was at its peak.

And once the war with the Red Fire Ants starts, the Divine Envoy King Legion will inevitably have to give up the territory around [Nansen City] and stick to the front line of [Xinyang City] with all its might.

[Nansen City] is already a very important producer of honeydew and grain in the territory, and the economic losses caused by this will be very heavy.

Therefore, the protagonist does not want to contain the bellied ant clan, and in his plan, the bellied ants should be good messengers of the king army and the transit traders of the Red Fire Ant Country, even if they make more money. The Divine Envoy King's legion still needs to be dormant, and he doesn't want to provoke the covetousness of the red fire ants that are close at hand too early.

Only when the god makes the king's army stabilize the source of iron ore and grow, will the protagonist find a way to provoke a large-scale conflict between the red fire ants and the leafcutter ants to profit from it.

Now what happened to the bellied ant clan has disrupted the protagonist's plan.

However, even if the protagonist refuses the request of the "old heart", can the Divine Envoy King's army be left alone?

The protagonist speculates that the Bellied Ants may have been able to attract the Red Fire Ants because they traded a large amount of honeydew and some crow honey in the name of their own group last year.

As a strong and brutal race, the Red Fire Ants are obviously not satisfied with the resources paid by the bellied ant clan, and they are not willing to obtain honeydew from trade at a high price, so they will launch this attack, wanting to take the honeydew resources for themselves.

Once they discover that the bellied ants do not control the production of honeydew, they will still be spearheaded by the Divine Envoy Legion after they know the truth from the bellied ants.

[Xinyang City] is too close to the territory of the Bellied Ants, even in the most optimistic case, the Bellied Ants have sworn not to betray themselves, and the scouts of the Red Fire Ants can find the territory of the Divine Envoy King Legion as long as they wander around.

And would the bellied ants be so righteous? If he refuses the request of the bellied ant clan, it is estimated that the bellied ants will come back to their senses and turn around and sell the army of the god envoy king. Maybe they will join the Red Fire Ant army and attack [Xinyang City] together to get a piece of the pie!

The protagonist thinks twice and proposes his own plan:

The Divine Envoy King Legion can shelter the Legion of the Bellied Ants, but the territory of the Legion of the Legion of the Bellied Ants is lonely, and the terrain is not suitable for the Legion of the Divine Envoy King. It is better for the bellied ant clan to temporarily migrate to the territory of the Divine Envoy King Legion with all their belongings, and resist the invasion of the Red Fire Ants together with the Divine Envoy King Legion.

The protagonist's wishful thinking is that he can't push the belly lift ant clan to the side of the red fire ants, which makes the contrast between the two sides even more disparity.

Why don't you let the bellied ants go to [Nansen City] (the bellied ant clan still doesn't know about this new nest of the Divine Envoy King's legion), there are also woods over there, and the bellied ant warriors can take advantage of the tree battle and use the [Xinyang City] as horns.

Even if [Nansen City] is lost, the big-headed ants have already withdrawn to the main nest, and what is lost is the strength of the belly raising ants.

As long as the queen ant of the bellied ant clan and a few high-status kings are allowed to live safely in [Xinyang City], they will be worthy of them and continue the clan for them.

And consuming the excess strength of the belly-raising ant clan, the god makes the king legion better control this new vassal, otherwise a vassal ant clan with a certain strength, and some cunning leaders, the protagonist himself is not at ease.

But the protagonist's wishful thinking is too wishful thinking after all, and perhaps the intelligence of the "old heart" is not enough to see through the traps. But just letting the bellied ant clan leave their homeland made it difficult for him to decide.

The "old heart" said that he would have to return to his lair and convene a meeting of all the kings to decide such an important matter. The protagonist let the "old heart" and his party return.

In the afternoon, the Lifter sends a messenger, just a normal worker ant, stating that the Lifter Ant Clan has rejected the protagonist's offer and refused to leave their territory.

This time, even the "old heart" did not come, which shows the dissatisfaction of the bellied ants.

The protagonist also sends a messenger to the territory of the bellied ants, saying that they will provide a batch of food and eggs of the worker ants to support the anti-belly ant clan.

The protagonist is trying to appease the disgruntled Belly Ant Clan, at least they have to resist for a while, and consume as much of the Red Fire Ant Army as possible. But don't let the wind blow down and join the enemy army to attack [Xinyang City].

- I'm the dividing line -

The protagonist also doesn't know if his appeasement has any effect.

After the messenger returns, the protagonist immediately prepares supplies for the next day to be sent to the territory of the Legion.

However, the next day, the scythe-hunting ant scouts sent by the Divine Envoy King's Legion found that tens of thousands of Red Fire Ant Warriors were marching in the wilderness north of the Divine Envoy King's territory, advancing towards the territory of the Legion of the Raised Bellies.

I saw that in the scout's condescending vision on the tree, under the newly sprouted weeds on the ground, the army of red fire ants was in multiple columns, and the speed was extremely fast.

This is the first time that the Divine Envoy King Legion has directly seen the military appearance of the Red Fire Ants, and although the distance is very far, they can also feel the arrogance that only the victorious army has.

Fortunately, the scouts had better eyesight, a small ant population, and small targets, so they did not alarm the army of red fire ants and let them shift their targets.

The red fire ants come so quickly that the protagonist is not expected.

Yesterday, the first batch of troops of the red fire ants were defeated and retreated, and the distance was calculated, and the red fire ants formed a large army overnight yesterday and set off non-stop the next day.

Its efficient organizational ability and high fighting spirit can also be seen.
