The protagonist's meeting with the Floating Leaf King went unusually well, and after a brief exchange, the Floating Leaf King expressed his allegiance to the protagonist and to the Venerable Divine Envoy King personally.

The Floating Leaf King believes that he has not betrayed the sacred kingdom of the paving ants, but that he is only serving the true messenger of the gods personally, not to the colony kingdom of the Big-Headed Ants, even though this individual is one of the enemies of the Paving Ants, the Big-Headed Ant Clan of the South.

This is also a major change in the thinking of the Floating Leaf King, the individual and the collective, finally opposing each other in thinking. It is no longer a mere individual subordinate to the collective.

After the protagonist agrees to some simple conditions of the Floating Leaf King, the Floating Leaf King is subdued.

- I'm the dividing line -

In the next few days, the post-disaster reconstruction work of "Waterfront City" and "Bridgehead" continued to progress steadily, and there was no need for too much intervention by the protagonists.

In a scorched earth on the ground, planted crops and some scattered weeds have sprouted new green buds and leaves, which makes people feel the tenacity of life.

On this day, the protagonist is finally able to find time to go to the main nest. It was a long-planned trip, but it had to be delayed for several days.

Riding aboard Xiaoqing II, he flew southwest, passing through a large area ravaged by wildfires.

After all, the ant nest is located underground, as long as it is not unlucky to stay on the ground at that time, those ants underground can always be lucky to avoid the disaster.

But the hardest part is life after the disaster, the surface is barren, the surviving vegetation is too sparse, the new weeds still need time to fill the gaps, the prey is dead or fleeing, and the remaining survivors hiding underground are not enough to support the needs of a secondary nest.

These secondary nests are in dire need of relief from the main nest.

After landing in the main nest, the protagonist is led to a nest room to rest temporarily.

Coming to the main nest again, the protagonist already feels that this place is full of stale atmosphere, and the protagonist, who is used to living in his own transformed nest, feels a lot of inconvenience here, and a sense of alienation.

Take this temporary small nest room as an example, although it is the most noble divine envoy king in the entire big-headed ant kingdom, but inside it is the feeling of "four walls", except for some fluorescent bacteria on the four walls that emit a faint blue light, rendering an eerie atmosphere, there is nothing else.

Whether it is in "Dongyang City", "Waterfront City" or "Bridgehead", the protagonist has an independent room.

Outside the living room, there is a guardhouse, and there are Mulan and several Praetorian guards.

There are many fluorescent bacteria in the room, which brings enough light to the whole nest room.

In one corner of the room, a silk bed is made of the freshest dried ant silk, and sometimes more delicate silk spit out from wild silkworm moths or other insects, and this bed is soft and comfortable, comparable to a fine velvet mattress.

Although the conditions are not too good, at least there will be some stones enough to be used as stools, as well as some clay pots and pots. The latter is a tool for the protagonist's diet.

But now, the protagonist can only wait in a very simple dirt room.

He stopped a few passing worker ants and asked them to assist in delivering the message to the king or kings who stayed behind.

Soon, a young king arrives, and the protagonist asks him something about it.

It turns out that the protagonist is believed to have rushed back to attend the meeting of the kings. This meeting needs to be attended by the kings who can rush back, and the messenger sent to inform him has just been on the road the day before yesterday.

The messenger looking for the protagonist is still trying to make his way to the "Waterfront City" on the scorched earth, and he doesn't know if he will be able to reach his destination to complete his mission under the prying eyes of the hungry predators on the scorched earth.

However, the protagonist happened to have arrived at the main nest first, and the patrol team that received him mistakenly thought that he had received the news and came back, so he settled here without saying anything.

Now it is the expeditionary force that needs to wait for the triumphant return from the battlefield. There were also many kings and kings in the expeditionary force, and many of them were kings of high status and prestige. Without them, this important Council of Kings would not have been possible.

From this king, the protagonist knows that this year's Reconquista has finally won.

After the battlefield entered the stalemate stage, the protagonist had already left, and the expeditionary force of the big-headed ant kingdom naturally didn't know what fire attack, water attack, and earth dragon attack tactics were, completely in accordance with the old tactics of underground street warfare, one passage after another, nest after nest and the remnants of the stubborn paving ant army.

It lasted for half a month before this stubborn enemy was completely annihilated.

Subsequently, reinforcements from the other secondary nests were dismissed, and the expeditionary force that came to the independent nest rested on the spot.

According to the plan set at the beginning of the year, this group of expeditionary forces will go to the south bank of the Great River, and cross the river with the assistance of the Divine Envoy King, completing the feat of crossing the north expedition that has never been done before in the history of the kingdom.

This made all the kings and kings in the expeditionary force enthusiastic.

Just as the Paving Ant Army would rather pay a huge price every year than continue to march south, it is an extraordinary honor to be able to set foot on enemy territory and potentially conquer new lands for their own people.

However, while recuperating, the expeditionary force's secondary nest was one step ahead of the main nest when they learned of widespread wildfires in their territory. The nest was fortunate not to be affected by the fire, but it was very close to the site of the incident.

Subsequently, the kings who stayed behind in the main nest, after synthesizing the information of various places, passed a resolution and issued an order to let the expeditionary force return.

The damage was so severe that the central, eastern, and northern thirds of the kingdom were affected.

Now, the importance of continuing the next step of military operations is on the back burner, and the kingdom may not have enough supplies and labor to support a massive expedition.

What the kingdom needs more than nothing more is for the Council of Kings to prioritize solutions to disasters.

According to the information that the king knew, one-third of the entire territory of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom was affected by wildfires, and almost half of the affected territory became scorched earth. In total, more than 30 secondary nests were affected.

According to the protagonist's experience of flying in the air, the territorial scope of the big-headed ant kingdom is probably the size of several administrative villages of humans, and it is still the kind of administrative village in densely populated areas.

The Paving Ant Country is much larger, probably the size of a small township.

With such an area, it is no wonder that a small wildfire can cause a large area of the country to be damaged.

Now, it's time for all the kings to have a headache on how to rescue and rebuild, just like the protagonist had a headache in "Waterfront City" before.

However, most of the secondary nests in the big-headed ant kingdom do not have the kind of material conditions in the protagonist's territory.
