Aside from the gold that was already a "tribute" from the Bellied Ant Clan (which was also running out), there were very few things that the Divine Envoy King Legion could trade with at the moment.

Grain is a hard currency, and the ants who trade it will definitely harvest it, but the Divine Envoy King Legion, which has just experienced a great epidemic, has limited grain stocks, and the farms and farmlands with the largest grain production have just been rebuilt and newly built, and they have not yet been harvested. Therefore, the army of the king may not be able to trade with the scarce grain.

The other industrial products of the Legion of the Divine King, such as stoneware, pottery, ropes, or felt, are either limited in production, have not yet begun production, or lack trade value.

In the end, the only trade item that the Divine Envoy Legion has taken out so far is concentrated honeydew. For this reason, the protagonist even had to cut the internal honeydew quota, the male ants and queen ants halved the quota, and the worker ants and soldier ants were temporarily denied honeydew.

There are obviously a large number of aphids and scale insects on the peninsula, but there are hardly many in [Xinyangcheng], and it is really "a person who is full of Qiluo, not a silkworm farmer"!

Concentrated honeydew needs containers, although the pottery has not yet been burned, but just before the river beach found a lot of snails, snail shells can be used as containers, the honeydew concentrated with sunlight in it, sealed with ant gum, can be transported for long distances and long-term storage without deterioration.

The bellied ants are very satisfied with these honeydews, although the psyllids they raise can also produce honeydew, but the sweetness is low, and it is not resistant to storage, so it can only be produced and drunk, which has no advantage compared with concentrated aphid honeydew.

The protagonist gives a snail shell honeydew as a gift, and also entrusts the "old heart" with them to see if there is anything worth trading among the red fire ants or other vassal ants of the red fire ant.

The protagonist points out a few things: blue-green stone (copper ore), obsidian or high-quality gravel, other ants' unique methods of domesticating certain insects, or other technologies, all of which are urgently needed or not available for the Legion of the Divine King.

"Old Heart" brought back honeydew, and after discussing with the other two respected male ants of the belly lifter, he came forward to agree on behalf of the belly lift ant clan.

Since then, the honeydew trade between the Divine King's legion and the bellied ants has been in full swing, and the bellied ants have also relied on the resale of concentrated honeydew and obtained a lot of benefits.

Of course, this incident also had a far-reaching impact later, such as the red fire ants relied on their strength and the status of the suzerain, and added four snail shell concentrated honeydew to the annual tribute list of the bellied ants.

For another example, the concentrated honeydew dumped by the Divine King's army completely destroyed the psylloid breeding industry of the bellied ant clan, and the bellied ants killed all their indisputable psyllids and ate meat, giving up the industry of raising this "ant cow".

And so much more...

The legion of the Divine Envoy King who arrived in this new world, although they were still lurking behind the bellied ants, but the little thing they accidentally threw had already flapped its wings like a butterfly, pushing down the first domino.

The new world, which had been stable for a hundred years due to the arrival of the Legion of the Divine King, was being broken.

All this, all the ant races involved, do not yet know...

- I'm the dividing line -

The sky is blue and picturesque.

At the platform near the top of the [Xinyangcheng] ant mound, Tianxian was looking up with more than a dozen worker ants.

Except for the Celestial Ant, who is a soldier ant with good eyesight, the other ants can only vaguely see the green of the canopy above their heads and the blue of the sky, as vague as a thousand-degree myopic eye.

Only the Celestial Immortals caught the trail in the air.

The protagonist uses his midlimbs to control the reins, and the mount underneath him turns back and descends, making an arc and landing steadily on the platform.

Without the help of the worker ants, the protagonist bends down to untie a pair of hind limbs, jumps off the fly mount, attaches the reins to the stake, caresses the mount's ugly head, and tells the worker ants next to him to feed a little honeydew as a reward.

The protagonist is running into his new fly mount.

After the end of the pandemic, the protagonist finally gets his new fly mount and names it "Blackie".

"Little Black" is a hemp fly, which is not as good as a mercerized green fly like "Little Green" in terms of load capacity, but it is not inferior in flight ability.

Among the eggs brought by the Walnut Ship fleet, there are no mercerized green flies, only fruit flies and hemp flies, and the protagonist chooses the most robust-looking hemp fly as his new mount.

The process of domestication went smoothly, and the protagonist, who had two fly mounts, quickly conquered "Little Black", and after customizing the saddle that fits the shape of "Little Black", the protagonist and "Little Black" have recently started running-in training.

In addition to his own training, the protagonist also prepares to hatch ten flies, let the queen produce ten worker ant eggs and breed them into large worker ants, and form a small team of large worker ant flying knights.

However, at present, in [Xinyang City], the first batch of worker ants and soldier ant eggs with the body genes of the protagonist have not yet broken into adulthood, and the new team of flying knights is only in the plan.

Speaking of which, the development rate of the protagonist's eggs is a bit slow, and the baby worker ants have reported this situation many times. However, apart from the slower growth and the increase in the total amount of food consumed by the larvae, there are no other problems.

The protagonist is a little worried that the underground environment here is not suitable for the problem, but the baby ants check again and again and think that the health of the larvae is fine, so the protagonist is relieved.

It's now mid-July, and as the development of [New Yang City] is gradually on the right track, the protagonist also plans to go to the swamp area by himself to contact the big army.

The protagonist doesn't plan to bring his retinue, and since he has decided to keep [Xinyang City], the protagonist can just ride "Little Black" back to the swamp and return to the middle of the army.

[Xinyang City] only needs to establish a suitable air communication line and obtain news on a regular basis, and the focus of the development of the Divine Envoy King Legion is still the vast swampy area of the hinterland.

When the Divine Envoy King's Legion obtains more advanced technology from the [New Yang City] window and becomes strong again, the protagonist will counterattack his homeland and take back everything he has lost.

Riding on your own, the preparation was much simpler, and you didn't need anything other than a small amount of dry food and the necessary weapons.

If, according to the previous plan, the whole army abandoned [Xinyangcheng] and returned by land, it would be a long-distance expedition to make rafts to cross the river and carry a large amount of food and supplies.

The protagonist plans to leave for the swamp at the end of July, when the run-in with "Little Black" has been completed, and the materials he needs are also ready, especially a new piece of equipment, which he is still working on and will be completed by the end of July!
