After some fighting, the Divine Envoy King's army wiped out the two thousand Red Fire Ant troops, and not a single one of them escaped.

The protagonist also thinks about leaving one or two male ant commanders behind to make contact and see if they can negotiate to achieve their own goals.

But in the end, all the red fire ants died, and none of them ran away, nor did they give up resistance, but all fought to the death in a state of fanaticism, and even the male ants were as aggressive as ordinary warriors, until they died.

The protagonist ultimately fails to communicate with the opposing males, and the fanatical enemy also makes the protagonist deeply jealous - this is the second time the protagonist has seen a race that is not afraid of death to this extent, except for the Destroyer.

After the battle, the Divine Envoy King's legion recovered the slings and other materials on the battlefield and counted the battle damage. With many advantages such as excellent equipment, ambushes, condescending surprise attacks, and enemy divisions, the Divine Envoy King's army still lost nearly a hundred soldiers.

The fierceness of the red fire ants can be seen, as long as they pierce the flesh of the Divine Envoy King warrior with their big jaws, it is enough to make the injured fall into death quickly, and there is no way to treat them.

After the battle began, the Legion of the Divine Envoy King finally found out that the Divine Envoy King Legion had helped them block the pursuers, but perhaps out of fear of the pursuers, or because they were not optimistic that the Divine Envoy King Legion would win, they still continued to advance in the direction of [Xinyang City] without stopping.

The protagonist asks the Divine Messenger warriors to bring back the bodies of their own dead to be buried, while the bodies of the enemies are abandoned on the battlefield. Sooner or later, the Red Fire Ants will find out that this force has not returned, and by the time they find the battlefield, the tragic condition of these corpses will hopefully shake the enemy.

Ants have always been afraid of power and not virtuous!

The protagonist who led the army back to [Xinyang City] saw the last bloodline of the Leggings who were stopped by the sentinels from approaching the city wall outside the city.

"Old Heart" takes the few remaining male ants and the only queen ant, and prostrates in front of the protagonist.

The protagonist tells "Old Heart" that the pursuers of the red fire ants have been killed by their own troops.

The creeping body of the "old heart" trembled obviously, and immediately expressed that he wanted to surrender to the whole clan, the deepest degree of surrender.

He also knew that there was only such a few ant mouths left in his own clan, and the God enabled the King Legion to easily destroy two thousand red fire ants, and the strength was obviously much stronger than he had estimated before. It's not realistic to imagine becoming vassals like before, and the "old hearts" indicate that they are willing to become slaves.

Slaves, which are much lower beings than vassals.

In this place, the vassal ant tribe still retains a great deal of autonomy relative to the suzerain, and their internal affairs are completely independent except for the obligation to pay tribute, and to obey the suzerain, militarily and diplomatically.

Slaves are different, they have no independent power, even their own bodies belong to the suzerain, and they must unconditionally obey any orders of the suzerain. For example, the ants hatched from the eggs of the bellied ants every year are slaves in the country of red fire ants, and they don't even think that the bellied ants are their kind, but regard themselves as a member of the red fire ants, even if they do the hardest, most tiring and dangerous work, they are willing.

There are several ant clans in the Divine Envoy King's legion, except for the big-headed ants, although the protagonist calls them vassals, but they don't actually have much autonomy, and they are also "slaves" in nature. It's just that the protagonist gives them an equal status with the big-headed ant clan in terms of respect and treatment.

Without much thought, the protagonist accepts the "old hearts" and orders them to temporarily settle in a location in the main city of [Xinyang City], and then move to [Nansen City] after the war.

Now is not the time to pursue the bellied ant clan to attract red fire ants to chase in advance, and the protagonist has also figured out that red fire ants will come sooner or later. Although the more than 100 ants of the "old heart" do not help much, they may be able to play the effect of "buying horse bones with a thousand dollars" in the future.

The protagonist has also considered combining the "Old Heart" clan with the belly-raising ant clan led by the "Careful" under the command of the Divine Envoy King Legion, so that it is easier to manage.

But although these two belly-raising ant clans have the same bloodline, the "careful" clan grew up under the raisment of the Divine Envoy King Legion, and many of their behavior and habits are incompatible with the "old heart" clan. Thinking of this, the protagonist abandons this plan.

In this way, there are two vassal races of belly-raising ants in the Divine Envoy King's legion, and in order to distinguish them, these two ant races are called "Old Heart Belly Raising Ant Clan" and "Careful Belly Raising Ant Clan" respectively.

- I'm the dividing line -

Winning the first battle bought time for the deployment and settlement of [Xinyang City].

After a night of hard work, the next day, March 22, the Divine Envoy King's army finally completed its preparations.

At the same time, the Flying Knights discovered that the scouts of the Red Fire Ants had also discovered yesterday's battlefield and the corpses of their kind.

Then, as if stabbing a hornet's nest, the Red Fire Ant Legion, which spent the night in the nest of the bellied ant tree last night, divided into hundreds of scouts and searched the surrounding area all over the world.

The protagonist knows that they are looking for the Legion of the Divine Envoy King, the murderer who killed two thousand Red Fire Ant Warriors yesterday.

With a one-percent hope, the protagonist sends a worker ant from the "Beware of the Belly Lifter Ants" as a messenger to contact the scouts of the red fire ants.

The protagonist thinks to himself that his own clan has shown their strength and is able to destroy 2,000 red fire ants in a single battle. Even the "old heart" couldn't believe it when he learned about this result. With such strength, the Divine Envoy King Legion promised to take the initiative to become a vassal of the Red Fire Ants, and was also willing to fight for the Red Fire Ants conditionally.

That's a lot of money, isn't it!?

The protagonist still wants to avoid a full-scale war with the Red Fire Ants when the Divine Envoy King's Legion is not strong, even if the Divine Envoy King's Legion is ready to fight to the death.

But this time, the Divine Envoy King's legion has no way out, unlike in the homeland period, and can also consider retreating into the swamp. The protagonist is reluctant to risk the possible annihilation of the Divine King's army.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

According to the Flying Knights, the messenger of the Divine Envoy King's legion came into contact with the scout of the Red Fire Ant, and the other party behaved very civilly, even without the presence of the male ant, the scout did not harm the prostrate Ant Messenger in front of him, but brought it to the commander.

But the bellied ant commander immediately sent his guards to put the poor messenger to death as soon as he intersected with the messenger's antennae. With a single sting, the messenger curled up and rolled in pain, and within seconds he was dead.

This scene was watched by the Divine Ant Flying Knight, who had been following the messenger and was hovering at a low altitude nearby.

Moreover, to the surprise of the Flying Knight, the Red Fire Ant Commander also glanced up at the Flying Knight's position after killing the messenger!

Maybe it's just a coincidence! The Divine Ant Flying Knight didn't bother the busy Divine Envoy King with this trivial matter.

The negotiations broke down, and the protagonist could only prepare for a death battle in the "cage city".
